It was a blazing hot day, and Harry Potter was outside, sweating like a
pig. It was summer, which meant he was living with the Dursleys. A whole
month had passed sense he returned from Hogwarts.
Harry was surprised he was still alive. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia had done nothing but make him work. The day he got home, he was to clean out the basement, which hasn't been even touched in at least two years. The dust was so thick, Harry could have sworn he sunk in the floor. After that, it was moving furniture, scrubbing the kitchen floors, polishing the chairs, painting the fence, washing the cars, polishing windows, and ect. As if child labor wasn't enough, they were also starving him. Due to Dudley's diet, the only thing that they ate was grapefruit, carrots, celery, and..well..water. The only reason Harry could even stand was because of the regular deliveries of eatable food from Ron and Hermoine. He had carefully hidden them under his bed, making sure Dudley never found it.
Harry sighed. He was out in the backyard. His aunt had given him the blessed job of weeding garden, then mowing the lawn, and planting a FEW small trees. It had taken him all day yesterday to just weed the garden. The place could easily be mistaken as a safari! Harry had just finished mowing the lawn, and it was already 2 P.M. He hadn't been allowed to take any breaks until he was done with everything. His throat was so dry, he could barely talk. Harry looked up. Apparently the few trees Petunia wanted him to plant turned out to be 15 large evergreens. There were still 8 more holes to dig for the trees. By then, it would probably be dark. Harry sighed for the 2nd time, and then went back to work, wondering what Ron and Hermoine was doing.
***Berlin, Germany****
Two mysterious men were dressed in green cloaks, sitting in the corner of the Red Dragon. They had been there for close to 2 hours, and the bartender was starting to get annoyed at the lack of money he was getting.
" We are running out of time, Emphis." One of the men said. He was tall, even sitting down. He had blonde hair that went down to his shoulders. His eyes were ever so blue, and only the most observant would notice his pointy ears.
"Stop been paranoid Bienis. I know where the child is." The second man answered. Unlike the first man, Emphis had chocolate colored skin, with almond eyes. Amazingly, the color of his eyes were dark honey, it almost looked like red. And like the first man, he had pointy ears too. "I have sensed him long ago. We only have about a days journey away. We will reach him quite soon. As for now, relax."
"If you say so mate. But for now, I think we need to get moving. The bartender's getting on my nerves" And so the two mysterious men left the bar without making a single noise.
It was the middle of July now, and Harry was alone in the house. Well..he was actually outside. The Dudley's had gone to a party held by Uncle Vernon's boss. They had left Harry home, as always. And to keep him busy, the thoughtful Petunia had left a list of chores for Harry to do. So now he was trying to clean the driveway, 14th task on the list.
Surprisingly, Harry had started been able to do the chores with ease. He seems to be stronger now. At first he thought that he was gaining muscles, but when he was able to throw Dudley 10 feet up in the air, he knew it wasn't natural. That wasn't the only change either. He had grown about a foot, and he has been using his magical powers more and more on accidents. Which made no sense to him because he never had his wand with him. It was locked up.
As these thoughts were going through his mind, two men suddenly appeared 10 feet from Harry.
"That's the boy? He does not look so strong." Said the first one, whispering quietly.
"Yes I am sure. He has the mark."
"All right, if you say you're sure. Now, did the King say how we were to take him?"
"No, he didn't. But I'm too tired to think of anything clever. Lets just apparate him back with us and we will explain later."
"Agreed"
And with that, the two men appeared in front of a very startled Harry, who's face became horrified as the blonde man said, "Your coming with me". And with that and a flash of light, Harry Potter was gone.
When Harry opened his eyes, he was laying on a bed. He had no idea where he was. He remember one blonde and one black haired man appearing in front of him a taking him away. But after that he must have fainted because he had no memory what so ever of how he got here.
"Harry?" Harry looked up immediately. He didn't know that there were people in the room. He lifted his head up and took a look around the room. It was beautiful, and colored pearl white. Suddenly, he noticed three men standing in front of him.
"You are awake?" It seemed more like a statement, rather then a question to Harry.
"My name is Androld. And these are my two counselors, Bienes and Emphis." Harry looked at the men, or Androld. He was tall, probably more then 6 feet. His long silver hair looked like a river flowing down his shoulders. The men looked quit old, with beards that looked awfully familiar. Now that he thought of it, the man looked almost like Dumbledore. He was wearing an elegant gown that flowed down to the ground. On top of his head was a small golden crown, four gems fixed on it. The gems were colored Red, Green, Blue and Clear. The man's whole body seemed to glow.
Finally, not able to hold him self any longer, Harry spoke up. "Where have you brought me? And who are you people?"
"My apologies Mr. Potter. I assume you are quite confused. I will leave it to Bienes and Emphis to explain. As for now, I must attend to some other business." Androld stood up and began to leave.
"King Androld, if its all right with you, I would like to began the training today. I do not wish to waste any time." Harry looked at the one that spoke. It was Emphis.
he thought.
"I believe that will be up to the boy to decide. If he chose, he may have today to rest. I will see both of you in the great hall tonight." With that, King Androld left, gliding out the door soundless.
The two men looked back at Harry. Bienes spoke first. "All right Harry, you are in the Realm of the Elves. " "I'm in the WHAT?" Harry was totally confused now. He didn't even think that elves still existed.
Bienes smiled. "I know it's hard to believe Harry, but you are currently in the Glordien, the biggest and most powerful city in the Elf world. And Androld is the King of all elves."
"But that's impossible! I never even heard of elves being alive much less elf kings! And even if there are, why am I here?"
"The reason you never heard of us is because we do not live on Earth. The Elf Realm is hidden in another dimension, that only we can find. We usually do not like to associate with the human business, so even though we can go back and forth between your world and ours, we are usually in disguise." Bienes continued.
"As for why you are here, that's even more complicated. You see, every 100 years, a special human is born. This human has powers above the ordinary, and is need of special trainings. It has always been the job of the Elves to find this human, train him/her, and teach them to take control of his/her powers, and also learn new ones. The human will always work for the light, never the dark and do all he can to protect the world from it. But there has always been a dark and powerful wizard, and it is your job, Harry, to destroy him."
"But I do not understand. How can you be sure that I am the one?"
"Because of your scar." It was Emphis that spoke up this time. "Every chosen one has great power even when they are just born. Which is why you survived Voldemort. But there is a side effect. When the chosen ones are attacked before they reach the age of 3, they receive the scar of a lighting bolt some where on their body. The reason? Because after the attack, your body puts a shield of defense over your powers, not allowing you to use them, or have anyone else sense them until you are old enough. It's your body's way of protecting you. But it also prevented us from finding you until you were grown. But last week, I sensed you, and so did Bienes. And we have brought you back."
Harry was in totally shock. His mouth had been open the whole time.growing bigger every second. He was still trying to process the information that he had just heard. "So you brought me here because you believe I am the Chosen One.but what am I suppose to do now? And when am I going to go back?" Harry asked.
"You're going to train until you have mastered everything. You will go back when we think you are ready. As for your disappearance, I'm sure the Ministry of Magic will think of something to cover it up." As Emphis said this, he saw the disappointment in the young boy's face.
Bienes noticed it too. He felt pity for the boy too. "You will be able to see your friends soon Harry. As for now, you must understand that you have a great task to accomplish. The dark lord has risen again. It is up to you to save the world from him."
Harry nodded. He always knew that he and Voldemort were to meet again. Yet he was going to miss his friends so much, and they were probably going to kill him for not contacting them.
"You have the rest of the day to relax and look around the castle. But tomorrow we will have to start your training."
"Err. first of all, what should I call you?"
"Just call me Emphis"
"Right, and can you define the training part?" Deep down, Harry was a little scared. What if he failed to master his powers? What if he failed the world? Then everyone will die because of him.
Bienes and Emphis looked at each other. They were both smiling.
"You will see Young Harry. Its nothing too hard after you get used to it. Besides, what we do for you is for your sake. Now, we will leave you be, see you in the morning!" With that, the two chuckling men walked out of the room.
~~~~~~
"Hahahaha! So Emphis, how should we began our training for young Harry tomorrow?" The two were walking down the stairs, heading toward the Great Hall.
"Well, we don't want to scare him TOO much, but we don't want him to slack off.how about dumping the bucket of ice?"
"No we did that too many times, I wanted to try something new. We whispered in his ear and tell him to wake up. If he doesn't, then we use the Voice Maximizing Spell, get a millimeter away from his year, then..WHISPER in his year to wake up!" Emphis laughed so hard, tears were coming out of his eyes.
~*~*~*~*~*
"I love it! Its brilliant Bienes! Lets hope young Harry sleeps well tonight!" ~*~*~*~
"I wonder why they were laughing" Harry thought. Emphis and Bienes had left, giving Harry time to digest the information he had just received.
~*~*~
He observed the room he was in more closely. It was pretty big, with a fireplace that took the whole wall. The room looked cozy, with a few chairs and a small table. There was also a balcony, and Harry started walking toward it. He opened the elegant French doors and stepped out to fresh hair. The sight was breath taking.
Harry thought.
The palace was build alongside mountains. The trees were all different shades of red, and the great waterfall only added to the beauty. (a/n if you seen Lord of the Rings, its just like Rivendell) A river flowed throughout the city, with white arched bridges build over them.
Harry stayed up late reading books he found in his room. They told of the great Kings of Gloriden. After midnight, Harry decided to go to bed, falling asleep immediately.
*~*~
"5.4.3.2.1."
"WAKE UP HARRY!!!!!!!!!! WE MUST BEGAN OUR TRAINING!!!!!"
The reaction Bienes and Emphis got from Harry was quit interesting. The second the first word came out of Emphis' mouth, Harry jumped out of his bed. As he tried to get up, he hit his head on the nightstand, causing the flower vase to crack and fall on his head. The volume was so loud the whole room was shaking. And when Bienes finally stopped, Harry was so shaken he couldn't even walk straight.
"What the HELL was that?!" He was trying to get up by holding on to his bed, but he wasn't having much luck. He was soaked in water from the flower vase and he had a terrible headache.
"We are simply waking you up. It's time to start your training," answered Bienes. He was trying hard to stop laughing. He looked over at Emphis. The poor man looked like he was going to choke from trying not to laugh.
"What in Merlin's name! It's still dark outside! And stop laughing! ITS NOT FUNNY!" He pointed outside, and sure enough, through the window, you could still see the moon.
"Yes but your training begins at 4 in the morning everyday, and we wouldn't have to scream in your ear had you gotten up the first time we told you to." Harry glared at Emphis. " I don't even remember you waking me up the first time!"
"Exactly! You were still sleeping. Besides, we only WHISPERED for you to get up. I didn't know you would have gotten so scared." Bienes could not stop himself from making fun of Harry.
"Yeah. right, if you call blasting all the windows and killing every single cell I have a whisper, then I suppose it's MY fault."
"Good, now that your fresh and bright awake, thanks to Bienes, would you please dress in these robes and be outside in 10 minutes." And with that, the two men left silently. But 5 seconds after they closed the door, Harry herd tremendous amounts of laughter in the hallway.
Harry sighed and mumbled something like crazy, idiotic elves, he then started to get dressed.
