Chapter Three
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"HARRY JAMES POTTER!"
Harry looked up as the door slammed open and in came a very angry female elf.
"Yes Meridel, is something wrong?" Harry examined her from head to toe, and could not help but smile evilly. She seemed to be drenched in water, and her beautiful silver hair looked pale green, with seaweed to add to it. There also seemed to be an extremely bad odor coming from her.
"Is something wrong? LOOK at ME!" The young elf was obviously mad, for no living creature could turn as red as she was. She was shaking, not from been cold, but from anger, a lot of anger.
"Why, dear darling, you didn't think I was going to let you get away when you turned me into a chicken now did you?" Harry said sweetly. Doing one of their wandless magic lessons, she was allowed to turn him into any animal she wanted. Meridel feeling quite creative, had turned Harry into a chicken, a very angry chicken. Emphis, Bienes, and her had laughed at Harry trying to talk until their stomach hurt. He had pains in his neck from his chicken head wobbling side to side. This was his payback, and he was enjoying every second of it.
"Besides, you always told me you wanted to visit the ocean, I simply dropped you down there."
This comment got a deathly glare from Meridel.
"YOU SIMPLY DROPPED ME? Oohh.you are soo dead!" With that, Meridel raised her hand in front of her, and closed her eyes. She was concentrating hard on something, but what? Harry wondered. And suddenly, it hit him. She was trying to conjure her elemental powers! But he had realized too late. Before he could even say a word, about 30 gallons of seawater were dumped on him. And just like Meridel, Harry was soaked down to his underwear, and his mouth, ears, hair, had seaweed in them.
With her hands on her hips, she smiled proudly. "I thank you for your kind thoughts Mr. Potter. I hope you like my return present."
Harry glared at her. "Hahaha very funny. But how would you like to get acquainted with some cheetahs in a far-away country?" At this, the poor girl went pale and took a step back.
"You wouldn't."
Harry smirked.
"Ohh I wouldn't be too sure." Deep down, he was bluffing. He so enjoyed playing these pranks on Meridel. But before he could really do anything, he heard the familiar voices of Emphis and Bienes.
"What in the name of Merlin are you doing?! Look at this mess!" Bienes looked.simply...tired. There were dark circles under his eye, and his usually neat hair was tied in a messy ponytail.
Emphis looked no better. The poor man was barely awake, and his brain didn't seem to be functioning correctly.
Harry and Meridel stared at their two teachers with mouths open. They had never seen either one of them like this. Emphis and Bines were always extremely energetic, and were usually up an hour before them.
"What happened to you two?" They had both seemed to have had forgotten being drenched in salt water, at least for now.
Bienes ran his fingers through his hair and with a sigh began to answer the question.
"King Androld wanted us to go back to Earth and check up on things there. The Ministry of Magic is busy searching for you Harry. Your disappearance is the only thing that's in the newspapers these days. Apparently your disappearance was discovered a month ago. Apparently your friends were becoming worried at the lack of response you gave to your letters. I suppose they must have told your headmaster.Ergh...What's his name.Dumblinore?"
"Dumbledore," Answered Harry. He was curious to find out how his friends were reacting to his disappearance.
"Yes right, well he came, and found you gone. The pathetic muggles you live with didn't know where you were and told Dumbledore that. And so begins the search for you. The reporters have came up with some quite interesting stories about you. Lets see...one was that you went to the dark side, another was that you were murdered, there was also one about how Voldemort has finally got hold of you." Harry was taken back. He was surprised how much trouble he seemed to have caused. Yet he started to smile. He couldn't wait to see the faces on people when he returned.
This time it was Emphis spoke.
"We had to snoop around to see if there has been any activity from the dark side, and got back about a hour ago. I must say we are pretty tired so there's no training today. You can spend the rest of the day relaxing because tomorrow will be your test day. Now, clean up this...mess and you may leave." With that, the two tired bodies left, not even bothering to look back once.
Harry and Meridel made eye contact, and just looked at each other for a long time. Emerald green stared against enchanting blue. It was Meridel that finally broke the gaze.
"I'm going to go change, then I'll be back to help you clean." Harry nodded, and watch her leave.
Deep down, he was impressed with her revenge, and yet he also cursed himself for not realizing what she was going to do sooner. He liked Meridel. In the past few months, they had gotten extremely close. They had shared their darkest secrets, their feelings and opinions for everything. Both of them had spent endless hours looking at sunsets, talking about their friends and their family. That was how Harry found out that Meridel was actually the Princess of Glordien. He had always wondered why Emphis and Bienes treated her with so much more respect. King Androld had told her that every Chosen One, such as Harry, also had a protector. This person would have the imprint of a crescent moon on their back, and will be able to control the opposite element of the Chosen One. Which in Meridel's case, would be water.
And the protector had to be trained at the age of 9, so that they would be strong mentally, magically, and physically. Even though Meridel was a far cry from Harry's magical powers, she was stronger then him when it came to physical fighting. From swordsmen ship to karate, she would take him down most of the time.
She was a lot different from the girls back at Hogwarts. She was his age, 15, yet she seems so mature. He had found out long ago that she took her training with him seriously. But they also had mountain loads of fun pranking each other or their trainers.
Suddenly, he realized that he was soaking wet, and also extremely uncomfortable. Raising his hand, he whispered. "Accio Towels." He began taking his clothes off, and drying himself.
His mind wandered back to the first few weeks. He had even surprised himself at the amount of power he possessed. His two trainers had convinced him that he was capable of wandless magic. Harry had argued with them at first, saying that they were telling him to do the impossible. Finally tired of arguing, he had raised his hand as told, and looked at the apple Bienes had been holding at the time. Mentally in his mind, he said "Accio apple". And to his greatest surprise, it came to him, with great speed at that. The apple shot straight for Harry, hitting him hard in the stomach. If it had gone only a few inches lower, Harry would probably never have been able to have children. He remembered Emphis smiling sympathetically, and then saying, "Now do you believe that you can do wandless magic?" All Harry could do was nod, while he tried to blink away the stars forming in front of him. Who knew apples caused so much pain?
Then there were the times he spent in the library, looking through spell books and history books with Meridel keeping him company. Harry memorized all the spells he had read, some important, and others not quite. He could not stop but think of how much Hermione would have loved to see this place. Suddenly, the thoughts of his friend brought him back down to earth (or Glordien, sense he can't quit get down to Earth). Today was September 1st, the day that Hogwarts start. Ron and Hermione are probably getting ready to get on the train, Harry thought. He missed his friends quite a bit. I will be returning soon, Harry thought. He knew his powers had reached the point of mastery. If only his two counselors would agree.
"I'm back," Harry turned around and gasped. It was Meridel and she looked exquisite. She had taken a shower, (thank god) and her hair was loosely tied in a knot. Her face was its usual milky white, with cheeks the color of summer peaches. Her eyes were so stunning, so clear. The sky blue color seemed to light up the room. She wasn't dressed in the usual. Instead of the large training cloaks that hid every thing, she was wearing a light blue silk robe. It hugged her body so tight, that you could see every single curve she had. The front came to a V-neck, where a necklace of a blue gem held in the shape of a teardrop was visible. The robe wasn't too elegant; it was actually a simple one that the Queen had given her for walks in the garden, but Meridel had never got a chance to wear it. Her whole body seemed to glow, and all Harry could do was stare. He had never felt like this before.
As for Meridel, she was staring at Harry too. He seemed have only gotten half of his clothing on. He was wearing jeans, his clothes from the muggle world that Emphis had brought back. But other then that, he had nothing on. Meridel could only stare at Harry's muscles. He no longer looked like the thin skinny boy she remembered. Harry seems so grown up now and his eyes. The green, they were so amazing, yet it holds so much pain... I just want to hold him tight.wait, what am I thinking? I'm his protector! Snap back to reality! trying to ignore the awkward feeling her stomach was producing, she started talking. "Well, sense I don't really have anything to do, I thought we would spend the day together."
"All right, but no more pranks. All right?"
"Like I would ever..."
"Lets go to breakfast. Then I want to teach you to fly. Remember? I promised I would show you my Firebolt when we had the time"
At this, Meridel leaped up in joy. "I forgot completely! We have been so busy, and I always wanted to fly! Oh Harry I can't wait! Lets go!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room with great speed, leaving him just enough time to grab a shirt. Behind them were still the puddles of water.

Well I think I might end this chapter now..i mean its not a cliff hanger but I'm so tired..its 12.32. I'm going to be gone for vacation for a while but you guys can take a few weeks of no up dates right? Hehehe I'm just kidding!

Here is the rest:
"HHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!" That was the only word that Harry could think of as he sat on his Firebolt. He had decided to let Meridel ride it, but didn't feel safe for her to be on it alone, so he had rode on the back. Before he could even tell her the basic rules, she had kicked off the ground, and well.it had been a nightmare for Harry sense then.
He never thought he would ever say this but riding a broomstick was actually making him sick. Meridel had been doing twists, turns, and diving straight down to the ground nonstop. Every second that passed, Harry felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
An hour later, when she finally brought the broom down to the ground, Harry was close to fainting.
"Harry that was the best time I have ever had! Wasn't that so much fun? Harry? What's wrong with you? You look...pale" She bent down to examine him. She was really worried, I mean she heard him scream 'Help' a few times but she didn't think he was really scared. But the way he was looking.she felt guilt creep up on her.
"Oh was I that bad Harry?" Harry looked up at her with the most horrific expression. "Bad? .no no Meridel. Not bad. TERRIFYING." At this Meridel began to laugh and so did Harry. She helped him up to his feet, and they both began to walk toward the lake.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
They had spend the whole day relaxing until it was dark and they went to the Great Hall in the elf realm to join everyone else for dinner. The room was filled with the smell of delicious food. To Harry and Meridel, it was a treat to be able to eat with everyone else. They were usually so busy training; they had their dinners close to 10 P.M. every night.
"I'm glad you can join us today Harry and Meridel." King Androld said to them. The rest of the table turned to them and all smiled. Only the royal family and important console members ate here.
As the meal went on, more laughter filled the halls and eventually, conversation begun to spring everywhere. King Arnold leaned toward his daughter and began talking to her.
"You might now know this dear daughter, but this will be the last night you spend with us, that is unless you do not pass the test tomorrow."
At this, Meridel looked up at her father.
"What are you talking about dear father?"
"You are leaving tomorrow with Harry, Meridel. It is time. Tomorrow afternoon, you will be gone, for quite a while I fear." The King looked sad as he said it. He was losing his favorite daughter.
"Why, I could never leave you for long father." She smiled at him. If tonight was truly the last night she would be spending here in Glordien, she was extremely sad about it.

She was walking down the stairs after finishing dinner when she heard someone call her name.
"Meridel! Wait!" It was Harry, running down the steps after her, with his Firebolt in one hand.
"Harry, is something wrong?"
"Well, no but I want you to come out side with me." With out even waiting for an answer, he apperated Meridel outside. He brought her to their favorite place, on top of a hill, deep in the mountain. There was a large oak tree, which they often laid down under for hours and hours. "Why are we here? Harry answer me!" She was truly confused. Harry looked down at her and his eyes were dancing mysteriously.
"Get on the broom Mel, I'm going to take you for a true ride." He beamed down at her.
"Why Mr. Potter, are you saying that my broom stick skills are not good enough?" She teased him.
"Well.YES!" Meridel punched him lightly, then followed his orders and sat on the back of his broomstick.
"Hang on tight Mel!" And with that, they went high in the air. Meridel felt the wind brush through her hair, and she felt calm. The stars were shining so brightly, and the full moon made the world seemed all the more perfect. She wrapped her arms around Harry's waist and laid her head on his back. She felt a wave of feelings wash through her. Feelings that she had for Harry...
They were up so high in the sky now, above the clouds. Slowly, Harry stopped. He held his hand out to a cloud, and brought it toward him. Quickly muttering a spell to make the cloud solid, he jumped on the cloud.
"Come on Mel," He extended his hand out to her, which she held tightly, fearing that she might fall off.
Finally stable, they lay next to each other on top of the cloud, staring at the stars and the moon.
"What's all this for Harry?" She looked into his eyes, something she loved to do.
"We're leaving tomorrow, and I guess I wanted to spend one last time alone with you." She seemed to blush as he said this, and he thought she looked more beautiful. He felt like it was almost a dream, lying there and not a sound but the light breathing of Meridel. As usual, there was a faint glow around her, and he couldn't help but lick his lips. Should he kiss her? It had taken almost 3 months of pranks and insults before he realized that he liked Meridel. As to how she felt about him.he didn't know.
A breeze blew and Meridel shivered. Harry wrapped his arms around her and held her closer, smelling her magical hair. She was so sweet.
"Harry.?" She looked up at him.
"Yes?"
"I'm so scared that I might fail you. I...I mean if you get hurt, it would be all my fault." Her face showed that she meant every word she said. This topic had been hunting her for quite a while. She was a girl after all, what would happen if she let Harry die? All fingers would be pointed at her.
"You are crazy Meridel. It's not going to be your fault because you're not going to fail me. And I'm not ever going to let you get hurt." Harry leaned toward her. She looked so innocent, beautiful, her hair dancing with the wind. He tilted her chin up, and her eyes and his met contact, never leaving each other's gaze. Meridel leaned closer to him as his lips came ever so close to hers.
