A/N Hi everyone, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy reading your comments and everyone has been so patient and kind to me. I believe I have told you but this is my very first story and I cannot thank you enough for your overwhelming support. Now I have noticed that a few people do not like me writing evil Dumbledore. I do apologize if this is not your favorite storyline, but in order for Regina to need to protect Harry with the aid of the Dark and Neutral factions there needs to be a powerful enemy. Feel free to find another story if it bothers you that much. I do apologize but, in the end, I am the one writing this story and I decide in which direction it will go. I have not decided what I am going to do about Voldemort. Who wants him to become sane again and who wants Regina to turn him into a giant fireball? I also need some help with the family tree. I want to prove that Regina and Harry are related so she can legally become his legal guardian without Dumbledore being able to stop it. Can anyone help me figure out how close that relationship needs to be?

Thanks for reading and please review. I love reading them no matter what they say. Just so my readers are aware, I would like to avoid having bad language or too much violence in this story at all. If you do find any please let me know where and I will fix it. I want this to be a clean story that everyone can enjoy.

Chapter 6 A Goddess' Plea

The next morning Regina was busy trying to figure out her new powers. She soon discovered that her fire could now manifest as much more than a simple fireball. The Evil Queen stared in wonder at the monstrous wolf she had just managed to create out of blue and purple flames. Her magic also did not make her as tired anymore. After two hours of training, Regina sat down to drink some tea and plan her day, she thought about the young boy she had met the day before and smiled. Harry reminded her so much of her former son Henry, who sadly had turned against her.

"Henry, I hope you are enjoying your life. Emma had better be feeding you right and keeping you away from junk food. I did my best to be a good mother to you, why did you suddenly start to hate me? Was I too strict or not listen to you enough? I wish you could help me understand what I could have done better. If there is anyone out there who watches over children, please keep Henry happy and let him know I still love him." Regina sighed and stood up to put her cup in the sink.

"WHAT WILL YOU DO IN RETURN IF I LOOK OUT FOR YOUR FORMER SON, QUEEN OF DARKNESS."

A loud voice suddenly filled Regina's head though no sound could be heard externally. Startled, the former queen dropped her cup of tea and looked around frantically, trying to find the strange voice. Seeing no one she ventured to answer out loud.

"Who are you and how did you hear me?"

"I AM HECATE, GODDESS OF MAGIC. I CAN HEAR ALL MAGICAL BEINGS OR I SHOULD BE ABLE TO. IN THE LAST 80 YEARS AT LEAST, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HEAR MY BRITISH SUBJECTS LESS AND LESS. THE BALANCE OF MAGIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE EQUAL AMONG ALL THREE FACTIONS. LIGHT, DARK, AND NEUTRAL ARE ALL TO HAVE AN EQUAL VOICE AND BE FREE TO EXERCISE THEIR MAGIC AS THEY WISH. WITHIN REASON. BUT WITH LIGHT MAGIC BECOMING THE ONLY ACCEPTED NORM IT IS WEAKENING THE OVERALL STABILITY OF MAGIC ALL OVER THIS UNIVERSE."

"Can you really protect Henry?"

"I CAN MAKE SURE THAT HE HAS A FULL AND HAPPY LIFE IN STORYBROOK. I AM PUZZLED HOWEVER WHY YOU HAVE SELECTED YOUNG HARRY POTTER AS SOMEONE TO PROTECT.

"He is an innocent child who has obviously seen and experienced to much cruelty in his young life. All children like him deserve protection, I just felt something very special when I met him."

"WOULD YOU BECOME HIS CHAMPION AND PROTECT FROM ALL WHO WOULD USE AND HARM HIM? TEACH AND TRAIN HIM TO BE A POWERFUL WIZARD THAT CAN UNIFY ALL THE FACTION OF THE MAGICAL COMMUNITY?"

Regina frowned and thought hard about whether she wanted to have another child to care for so soon after leaving her first son in Storybrooke. While it was true that she missed Henry, she was aware that he had grown out of his love for her and if helping Harry protected her former child then she would do it.

"Yes, I would protect him to the very best of my magical ability and destroy anyone who attempted to harm him.

'VERY WELL, I WANT YOU TO GO AND GET OUT OF THAT AWFUL HOUSE THAT HE HAS BEEN PLACED IN BY THE SO-CALLED LEADER OF THE LIGHT FACTION. DESTROY THE PEOPLE HE HAS PAID TO HARM HARRY AND GET THE GUARDIANSHIP YOURSELF. ONCE THAT IS ACCOMPLISED I SHALL GIVE YOU FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON WHO IS SAFE TO TRUST.

The Evil Queen growled when she heard of Harry being hurt by his caretakers. I will roast them all. No, I will put them on huge spits and then roast them alive. Burn the house down with the inside it. I'll, I'll… Screaming in frustration Regina hurried out the door and poofed away to bring bloody justice to Harry Potters relatives.
