Harry Potter and the awakening of the elves by Midnight rulers

CHAPTER TWO - A new world

Disclaimer : I do not own Harry Potter or any character. I do not intend to use this story for a commercial purpose.

As they apparated to Privet Drive, they were surprised to see the kind of house Harry Potter lived in. They had all thought he would be staying in a huge manor, guarded by a dozen of guards. Quickly settling in the situation, Lucius Malfoy started giving out orders.

"Nott, Avery, Lestrange, get to the garden to make sure they don't escape. Goyle, Crabbe, Macnair, stand guard around the house and tell us if Dumbledore gets here early. The rest of you, follow me inside."

'It is easier than I thought it would be' thought Malfoy' surely it will be easy to find Potter'

In the cupboard at number four Privet Drive, Harry Potter had just awakened, feeling a bit lightheaded from the dust around him, and hid back aching.

He was thinking about how better his life would be, had his parents lived. He imagined he had a younger sister, with black hair and green eyes, whom he would play with all day.

How long he sat there, he could not tell, but after some time, a loud bang reverberated trough the house, shaking its foundations, and Harry, startled, jumped from his seated position on the floor, his skull hitting a low shelf with a thumping noise, then he fell with a crash and knew no more.

In the living room, the Dursley were sitting around a table, fussing over Dudley who had said his first sentence correctly, when, with a loud crashing noise, the front door was blown off its hinges and a group of masked and robed men stormed in. The one standing in front, apparently the leader, looked around and, having seen the three persons in the living room, advanced toward them, with two others, their wands unwaveringly trained on the family.

"You there!" he said, looking at Vernon "Where is the boy?"

"W-what?" came the stuttered reply

"THE BOY, HARRY POTTER, WHERE IS HE?" asked a yelling Lucius Malfoy

"I-In t-th-the c-clo-closet, s-sir." said Vernon, still stuttering, pointing at the cupboard under the stairs.

"Very well, since you proved useful, you shall not suffer. AVADA KEDAVRA" a shriek and a squeal could be heard from Petunia and Dudley as their relative fell to the floor, dead.

"You two, is there anything else you wish to say?" he asked the two remaining Dursley who were transfixed in terror"No? Are you sure? Very well. Kill them" he then said to a death eater positioned nearby.

"Well, what are you all waiting for? GO GET HIM" he yelled at all present.

"Sir, we can't touch him, there is a shield around him" said a man standing in front of the cupboard, his face reflecting green light from the closet.

"Try to break the shield! Just hurry! We have only four minutes left." replied Malfoy.

"It won't come undone, sir, it's just too strong!" said the death eater after casting some well-chosen spell on the eerie green shield.

"Then use an unforgivable!"

"AVADA-"

"NOT THIS ONE YOU IDIOT! WE DON'T WANT TO KILL HIM! IMPERO!" he then gave out a surprised look as the spell was seemingly absorbed by the shield. "Rookwood, how much time do we have left?" he asked a death eater not too far away

"About two minutes sir." He replied, glancing at his watch.

"Darn! Everyone come here, we need to cast a simultaneous spell if we want to break the-"However, at that moment, Macnair burst throughout the front door, panting.

"Sir, there is someone approaching quickly!" Macnair said though gasps of air.

"Then we have failed, for Dumbledore has come earlier." he said, sending chills down everyone's spine as the implications of the statement dug in their heads.

"Everyone apparate away, NOW!" Following his order, the popping sound of apparating disturbed the room, leaving it empty of inhabitants, bar the slightly shivering boy unconscious in the cupboard nearby.

In the mean time, outside of the house, two pointy-eared, human-like beings were walking toward number four Privet Drive.

"Cirgon, are you sure that you felt a critical shield nearby?" asked the first to his comrade.

"I'm telling you there is an elf nearby that needs help, otherwise I wouldn't have felt a critical shield erected" replied the other elf, Cirgon.

"Anyway, we're here now." As they went through the house, they saw the three still figures on the ground.

"Must have been a band of wizard. I think they were thieves, they have ran away when they saw us coming." said Cirgon. Then as he saw the green light emanating from the cupboard, he called the other. "Hey, Mitran, come and see that, I think I found him"

Then, as Cirgon approached the cupboard, he let out a surprised yelp at seeing its inhabitant. "By Iluvatar, a human!"

"But he has the shield around him, he can't be human!" said Mitran

"A half-breed, probably..." replied Cirgon

"Then we won't take him with us, we have to leave him here. Besides, I'm sure his family wouldn't like us to take him-"

"They are dead! I saw their bodies on the floor! We can't leave him here, he is a mere child, he can't survive alone!" said Cirgon

"Listen, Cirgon" said Mitran"I am not going to burden myself with a mere human-"

"But he has elven powers, he has the shield!" replied a slightly frustrated Cirgon.

"Powers or not he still has human blood in him, and I am not taking him with me!"

"I know what we can do!" said Cirgon" My latest servant has died last week in a hunting expedition. I could probably use this child as a servant!" said a triumphant -looking Cirgon.

"Very well, but I do not want to hear from him on the way back home" said Mitran.

"Of course" said Cirgon eyes dancing happily at the prospect of having another servant.

"Well, Hurry up, we don't have all day" said Mitran, walking out of the house, Cirgon carrying Harry right behind him.

A few seconds later, a popping noise could be heard as Albus Dumbledore apparated on the site, in search of Harry Potter. Unbeknownst to him, Harry had left Privet Drive earlier, not to be seen by another man for the next ten years.

A/N: Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, but I was kind of taken out by school work lately. Anyway hope you enjoyed this chapter, the ending of the prologue. Next chapter, the story begins ten years later, with Harry living with the elves. And for all of you who were wondering, the critical shield is an ability that all elves have to create a shield around them when they are in danger.

Yana5- Harry (as said in this chapter) is not an elf, but rather has elven blood in him, which is why he could erect (unconsciously) the critical shield. Yami Rose- Thanks for reading the story, I hope the following chapters will meet your expectations. Hermione HP- Glad you liked the story! It's always good to know that some people enjoy what I write.

A/N: I also plan on making the chapters gradually longer.

Read/Review!
