Ron quickly made his way down the long winding stairs and stared at an empty room. There was no food only a few bits of dust and old boxes littered throughout it "what the bloody hell, there is nothing down here" he turned back up the stairs and suddenly looked up to a shadow in the door frame "Whos there" he pointed his illuminating wand to the figure only to blind himself in the process;he was suddenly shoved down the stairs, landing on his back. Ron felt the wind knocked out of him. "Blo...ody …..hell" he wheezed " everything was dark and silent except for Ron.

"Master are you alright, i told you it's not safe down here" Freely whispered into his ear and climbed onto his torso. Clunk, the door shut above them " no noo no we cant be trapped here" Ron said standing up and putting freely on his shoulder as he raced back up the stair, he tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.

"Alohomora" Ron said to the door and he waited for the usual clunk...silence... until the door lit up and blasted him across the room again "bugger, where's Hermione when you need her. I never did study wards ugh" he got back to his feet and brushed the dirt off him.

"Freely, can't you do magic. I thought you were a house elf" Ron said, casting another lumos to at least see his friend.

Right exactly above Ron, many floors above was a man on a mission, he paced up and down in solar.

"Stannis if you don't bloody well hand me that parchment I won't hesitate to ring your head on a spike" King Robert roared at his younger brother; Reluctantly he did and handed it over to the murderously looking brother he really did fear at this moment.

"Bloody hell…. Dragons...false Targaryen bends their will " he pulled his fierce gaze to everyone sitting in their war room "and Where the bloody hell is Varys " Robert looked at the old maester Pycelle and waited about one second before going off at the old man..Stannis only felt a little bit of pity for him.

"Go and find him will you. before I lose it" he roared again and the old man looked like he pissed his pants, he got up and ever so slowly walked out of the room, leaving only the three brothers.

"What the bloody hell is going on around here, ever since that Ron appeared everything has been turning to shit" Robot voice spoke calmly and Stannis was surprised, his gaze was at the youngest brother Renly.

"Robert, he did say he had friends with him, maybe just maybe this false Targaryen is one of his friends" Renly looked worried when Robert looked even more murderous than before.

"That makes some sense, they are only children damn it" he said slamming down his fist " Where the hell is Ron anyway" he turned his gaze to Stannis who gulped.

Ron looked at his friend in bewilderment " so let me get this straight. We have to bond for you to reactivate your magic" the little elf nodded his head in agreement, Ron rested against a wall and brushed his hair back '' I've never done a bonding with an elf before, let alone anything really, alright if you know what to do" he rubbed his prickly chin thinking what they should do next.

"Master, I can help you. Me knows how to do the bonding but... it will cost you" the little shivered on the spot and turned its head to each side.

"What will it cost" Ron grabbed the elf and its huge eyes had tears.

"I know not master but something terrible and I fear it's our only way out " it squeaked then hugged Ron " we must hurry, the shadows are almost here" the tiny elf quivered beneath him.

"What shadows, Freely what's going on..where exactly are we" Ron pointed his wand around the room, waiting on anything that moved.

"No time master, please we must get out of here" the elf tugged on his robe, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Ron turned and knelt down to the elf "alright, let get this over with. What do i need to do Freely" the little elf beamed and jumped up and started to kiss him.

"Thank you thank you.."

"Oh come off it" he pulled the little elf off him to the ground and waited until the little elf calmed down. It was quiet, oh so quiet and then 'sssssss' came from within the room "Oh bloody hell, not a bloody snake. Please not snakes...Harrrrry" Ron yelled, pointing his wand to the noise. It wasn't snakes but something much worse, mist seem to be penetrating through the stone walls.

"What the, what the hell is that" Ron walked closer but the elf had a hold of his robe and stopped him "shadows" the elf said scared out of its wits.

"Pfft it's only smoke. Even I can handle this" Ron puffed up and pointed his wand towards the smoke "Ventus" A spiralling gust of wind emitted from the end of his wand and instead of pushing the smoke back it smashed the wall backwards revealing a hidden room.

"Bloody hell… last time I did that charm a meare hot breeze tickled Hermione face" Ron said flabbergasted and looked to Feely "come on let's get the hell out of here" he grabbed the small elf on his shoulder and carefully climbed over the mass amount of bricks.

Ron quickly climbed back to his feet in the hidden room "arghhh" something moaned behind them when they had reached the entrance door, then a sudden boom on the other side "open this door now " a familiar voice shouted distracting Ron away from the faint gurgle of a man dying.

"You two smash open this door now" the familiar voice shouted again and a loud bang

echoed around the room "Master" the elf tugged on his ear "me thinks that's the king's brother maybe we should let him know it's you" The elf said shaking then covering up his ear as another bang hit the door.

"A-alright" Ron pointed his wand out just in case it wasn't him " Stannis" he said a little too enthusiastically and waited in silence.

"Ron" the voice shouted back and pounding on the door stopped.

"Stannis" Ron shouted back still unsure if it was him.

"Ron you bloody idiot. Do you know how long I've been looking for you and in the master of coins back room no less. Open the bloody door" Stannis shouted back at Ron who smiled and laughed "Defiantly him. Nice job freely. Now to open this door " he muttered back to him, freely just nodded like a maniac.

"Alright hold ya horses. Wait..how do you even work this thing" Ron said, putting his wand back into his robe and trying to work out this contraption by hand. It didn't work to well and after five minutes of trying to budge open the door he pulled back out his wand.

"What's the bloody hell is going on down here " the kings voiced thunderd and as did his presence walking down the hallway.

"It's alright stand back. I'm going to try something " Ron shouted back and king stopped and yelled back "Ron"

"Alohomora" Ron whispered knowing of what happened before, he put little effort into this time. Instead of the door clicking open like he thought would happen, a force of light hit the door and smashed it forward and on top of a couple of guards.

Ron step outside over top the rumble as the dust cleared. Two men with their months open as did the rest of their guards, Ron sheepishly rubbed the back of his head" whoops didn't expect that this time at all"

"My king ...you...must come at once. There ... is something strange …..happening North" a guard out of breath fell to his knees. The king frowned and looked to Ron "what the bleeding hell you standing around for. You heard the man, something is troubling a foot in my Lyanna's north" the king shouted at the guards who all clapped their shields and ran back up the hallway

Ron tried to quickly scramble out of there when a large hand clasped his shoulder "You will bloody stay here with me. Ser barristan watch this boy. Something just don't add up" he said pointing his finger at Ron who looked dumbfounded and was about to shout back when the castle shook.

"Bloody hell" three of them shouted out loud "what's happening out there "Stannis shook himself up with the help of Ron. "Well come on let's get up there " The king said storming past them with Ser barristan subtly standing behind Ron "after you" he gestured with his sword out.

Stannis gave Ron a frown then headed up after his brother "Mental. The lot of ya. Alright I'm going. Frely come on...Frely! " Ron shouted only realizing now the elf was missing from his shoulder.

"Freely" Ron yelled again looking around the debris. Only to find nothing " Come on boy, that thing is gone. Let's get moving" the old knight tapped his sword against the concrete making Ron jump. "Freeeeeeeely" Ron yelled again as the surprisingly strong old man grab a hold of him and dragged him up the stairs.

"Come off it..Let go of me go ya bloody old git. My friend could be trapped down there" Ron squirmed and tried to wrestle free but he was too strong.

They made it up to the top of the stairs, each flight seemed to get colder and darker. Ron could see his breath in the darkness and old man's sword started to frost over.

"Ronald Weasley in the flesh. Or rather, in the only wizard attire his parents ever brought him. I took the liberty of relieving you of your wand. As for that deluminator, I think you've earned it." A shadow from the top of the stairs startled the pair of them.

"Who goes there. Show yourself " Ser Barriston said letting go of Ron and brandishing his sword in two hands.

"My wand. It's gone" Ron shrieked patting down his robes.

"You call that a sword...this. This! Is a sword" the shadow said with coldness. Yet Ron had noticed his breath was not appearing like his. Then it stepped forward and lowered his hood.

Ron almost fainted when his uncle Fabian smiled at him and pulled a massive sword out from his back. "Uncle Fabben, but how. You should be dead" Ron said wanting to get a better look at him.

"So Ronald we meet at last. Please, don't think that I've been avoiding you, a great many matters require my attention in these... troubled times. I do hope you understand, and now I require a further indulgence on your part. I cannot exist until every loose end has been tied up. I admit I have a fascination with those who adapt and survive against all odds. They rather remind me of myself. If for no other reason, I have argued to preserve you for a time." Fabian said in a very unnatural tone, it sent shivers down Ron's spine the way his face never used any emotions.

"Loose ends...preserve me. What the bloody hell do you mean. Give me back my wand!" Ron demanded and Fabbian took a step forward and held the sword in front of his face; his eyes turned a shade of blue when he muttered something under his breath.

"Well, it looks like we won't be working together now does it" Fabian had said taking one hand off the sword and sending the old man tumbling down the stairs with a spell that Ron had never heard spoken.

"What are you " Ron said, afraid of what the man would do next. Ron didn't have to find out long, when the blade crackled with raw blue energy and swung at him. Ron still practise quidditch with Ginny and Harry after the battle of Hogwarts and still maintaining his sharp reflexes dodge it by an inch, cutting his robes instead of his skin.

"Bloody hell, you almost killed me!" Fabian didn't smile at Ron's attempted humour and stepped closer "Harrrrrry…..Freeeeeely" Ron shouted, he could feel his feet slipping off the stairs ledge.

"Please Uncle, Please don't hurt me. I remember mum talking about you and Gideon with nothing but love. If she saw what your were doing I think you would for off worse than me " Ron said trying not to cry, Fabian dropped his sword and touched his face then looked down at Ron.

"Bloody hell. That took a lot of effort, by jolly me whiskers your definitely are a Prewet by blood. Look at that hair. Oh yeah sorry everyone i'll tell him" Fabian said the last bit to himself. Ron just looked more confused than ever.

"Fabian what the hell is wrong with you. Give me back my wand" Ron shouted gaining his footing then proceeded closer to his uncle who had dropped to his knees "I can't hold it for much longer" he said holding out Ron's wand and his other hand holding his head.

"You have to find Harry at Winterfell. All of you. Before it's too late, " he said while Ron took the wand out of hand. It quickly went to his other side of his head, then he looked up at Ron and suddenly dropped them to his side " i'm sorry...No ..." Fabian said pushing Ron away.

His limbs suddenly froze up his legs then up his torso "Don't...let….him…..touch you…...ahhhhhh" Fabian voice distorted into a horrible screeching once the coldness reached his head, Ron backed away even more.

Fabians head and body morphed right in front of Ron's eyes "you will not hurt master" A voice rang out from nowhere. The creature stood up unnaturally fast and faced the door behind him, Ron managed to peek around the creature and saw the King and Freely sitting on his shoulder.

"I would put that sword down if I was you " Robert shouted and pulled out his own sword. It was nothing compared to whatever that thing had in its hand and it scraped along the ground as it walked towards him.

The King paced forward and wasn't expecting the creature to attack so fast, he barely had the chance to parry it.

CLANG!

Thanks to the mass of the king the blow didn't send him flying back, only making him grunt. Freely had jumped off of him and ran to Ron, almost flying into him "Oh Freely. I thought you were dead " Ron said hugging the elf.

CLANG!

This time Robert swore breathlessly and staggered back "bloody too old for this shit. You will die, whatever the hell you are" The King roared and lunged forward. The creature made a hissing noise like it was laughing and Ron looked to Freely "we need to help him. You could zap him away couldn't you. If we bonded and you regained your magic back" Ron said as fast as he could, his friend just keep nodding like crazy "what do I need to do " Ron asked him.

"Your wand master and say the words 'Vinculum mihi" the elf said crying. Ron tried to call him down "alright, you ready mate" Ron asked Frely who nodded and squeaked "yes master" before closing his eyes and clapping his hands together.

"Vinculum mihi" Ron breathed the worlds effortlessly and then a pain engulfed his heart and spread throughout him. Ron collapsed to the floor with Freely falling from his arms, Ron watched in slow motion as his friend hit the floor hard. The pain felt like his magic trying to escape from his body, his limbs locked up and he fell face first to hard ground.

"Bloody hell boy. Get up. This thing is relentless" the King roared blocking another strike.

"Ooof" the kick to stomach made hm staggered to one knee as Ron watched on helplessly. The pain made his heart beat one massive thump to overcome the ritual his magic had tried to connect with. The tiny elf body levitated itself from the floor; white magic seeped from every limb and its mouth opened, revealing a bright light within.

It engulfed the whole room in white light, making the creature scream in some horrible tongue." I will have you Ronald Weasly " it made a sudden turn for him. The white magic from Freely gripped around every limb of his own, proceeding to lift him off the ground.

"Die" The King shouted, stabbing the sword through the creatures shoulder. Roberts sword seemed to hiss and freeze over. Once the creature realized what had happened a sudden blast of raw magic sent the king shouting through the castle wall.

"Bloody hell" was all Ron heard through the crashing of stone rubble. Then it was silent, like a storm about to ascend on him and Freely.

The elf's eyes opened, a crimson red, held his gaze; burning him like fire. Out for blood was all Ron could feel suddenly, over taking the burning of his limbs and eyes. Ron opened his mouth to breath, he felt like he hasn't taken a breath in lifetime.

Ron felt his eyes shift to the creature, Freely steam to stop the creatures each movement, making his feet stick and pull the ground with him; each step seemed to hold him tighter and tighter until he couldn't move.

"Thank you master" the elf's voice seemed to fill the room with a boom of dredness. Like it wasn't his own. The white light turned red and a blast of raw red energy filled Ron's mouth, connecting the both of them. Changing the very fabric of their beings, it morphed their limbs and faces. It seemed to have a heartbeat, pulsating until it fully connected with the both of them. It exploded with an almighty boom, separating the both of them.

A magic energy engulfed the creature from the blast, sucking it's limbs like jelly into swirling red and black mist. It's screams shook the castle as it was pulled inside the hollowing abyss. it's head was all the was left. Ron stood up, he felt a new and felt his face. It was covered in a beard of all things.

Freely stood as tall as Ron, his face changed into an older more grizzled being with his ears no longer long. He almost looked human but with his skin a shade of red it took away the effect making him almost look scary now.

"You will not touch Ronald Weasly again" the elfs harsh voice shook the castle, the creature only smiled and waited.

"Be gone" Freely snapped his fingers and red and black energy simply vanished with a crack.
