CHAPTER EIGHT-NEW ALLIES

It took a month for Dumbledore to find his elven friend in the forest. After explaining their situation to his friend, the elf agreed to contact his family in the realm to have them bring a message from Albus to the king. The elf told Albus that someone would contact him at school when he got a response. Albus thanked him and left to go back to Hogwarts.

8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8

In the elven realm the king was in the middle of a meeting with his advisors when a young guard came in and gave the message to him. The king looked at the young man and noticed that he was a bit nervous.

"Why are you nervous Lieutenant?"

"The message comes from the human world you Majesty. I have an uncle who now lives in their world and he was contacted by the wizards with a plea for help. I think the message will explain things better." The young man bowed and stood back. The king opened the letter and quickly read it's contents. His eyes grew wide with surprise then they hardened as he got angry. He passed the letter around to his advisors. When they had all read it they all had the same reaction.

Lord Aldron was the first to speak up. "Your majesty, I think that we should help the humans. They have no way to fight back the dark elves. Even powerful wizards would have problems with them."

"Your right Aldron, I thing we should arrange a meeting with this Albus Dumbledore and the leader of the Order of the Phoenix Harry Potter. Please take steps to contact the two wizards and set up a meeting. I shall go personally to the human world to meet with them. You will accompany me Aldron. Then we will see what kind of help they need and what size of force we will send in their world."

Lord Aldron got up and left to prepare his meeting with the wizards. He took five guards with him and opened a portal to the human world. He then stepped in followed by his guards. They appeared on the lawn in front of the school. He took the time to admire the construction of the school. He could feel extremely strong magic pulsating from the school itself. The building had a life of it's own. He felt her protectiveness of the little ones that lived in her walls. He walked up to the door and asked in a clear and firm voice.

"Hogwarts, my name is Lord Aldron; I am first advisor to king Lirendel of the light elves. We have been requested by your headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Could you let him know that we wish to meet with him?'

Aldron felt a breeze sweep pass him and a few minutes later the doors opened. The elves were greeted by a dark looking wizard. Lord Aldron could feel strong magical powers come from the man. What puzzled him was that although the man was obviously a dark wizard he was also a light one. He stood and looked at the man waiting for him to introduce himself.

Severus Snape had seen many things in his life but seeing elves standing in front of him wasn't something he had expected. The elf seemed to look into his soul and he felt no danger coming from him.

"My name is Severus Snape; I am the potion master of the school. I think that you want to see the headmaster."

"Yes, we have received his message and wish to talk with him."

Severus looked at the other elves and recognized their uniforms. They were the same elves that had taken Draco two years ago. He paled and looked back at the leader.

"I am Lord Aldron; I am first advisor to the king. I have heard of you Severus Snape. You have nothing to fear from us."

Severus nodded and bid them to follow him. He turned around and walked to Albus' office. Once they were standing in front of the gargoyle he gave it the password and again asked the elves to follow him. Severus knocked at the door and was told to come in.

Seeing the headmaster doing some paperwork Severus cleared his throat to get his attention.

"Albus, you have visitors. I think that you've been waiting for them."

Albus Dumbledore looked up to see six elves standing looking at him. He got up and greeted them.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, I am Albus Dumbledore the headmaster of this school."

Lord Aldron could feel the huge amounts of power that rolled of the old wizard. He felt that his magic was also tied to the school. He felt the school embrace the old wizard. The kind blue eyes that looked at him showed him that he was standing in front one of the most wise and respected wizards in the human world.

"I am Lord Aldron; I am first advisor to King Lirendel. We have received your message for help and have agreed to meet with you. The king wants to arrange a meeting with you and Harry Potter to discuss exactly how we will help you in this war. Usually we wouldn't interfere but with the dark elves having joined Voldemort there is a danger for both our worlds."

"Indeed there is. When would you be able to come with the king? We can arrange the meeting anytime that is good for him."

"Then how about in three days, in this very office. We will be well protected here. The magic in this castle is astounding. We will be safe within her walls. We will come at noon and stay for the day." Lord Aldron gave Albus a small bow and turned to leave.

"Thank you Lord Aldron."

"Your welcome Mr. Dumbledore. Now we will see each other in three days." Lord Aldron turned to his guards and gestured for them to follow him.

The elves were led back to the front lawn were Lord Aldron opened a portal to go back to their own realm. He opened his arms and a golden light surrounded the elves then they disappeared.

Severus returned to Albus' office.

"Albus, those elves are dressed like the ones that took Draco two years ago, do you think that they would know what happened to him. The king himself had taken Draco; maybe he can give us some news?"

"Yes Severus, we will ask him at the meeting. Now please call the others. We will ask Harry to set up an order meeting this evening."

"Yes, Albus." The potion master left the room to get back to his quarters. He used his floo to contact Grimauld Place. Harry himself answered the floo call.

"Hello professor Snape, what can I do for you?"

"Harry, the headmaster wished for you to call a meeting this evening. We have been contacted by the people we have been talking about."

Harry's eyes went wide. The elves had answered their call for help. He quickly agreed and used his medallion to call an emergency meeting.

That evening, the whole order was sitting in an enlarged room of Grimauld Place. They were discussing Voldemort's latest attack on a muggle village where ten muggles had been killed and one muggleborns witch had been tortured by the dark elves and death eaters. The order had arrived just in time to save the little girl who was now safe at St-Mungos. Professor Dumbledore got up to get everyone's attention.

"Today I was contacted by a light elf called Lord Aldron. He said that he is first advisor to the king and by the king's request he had come to set up a time and place where Harry and I could meet with the king himself. I think that the elves consider the alliance of the dark elves with Voldemort as a danger to their world also. So we will be discussing what kind of force the elves will be sending to help us." Then turning to Arthur he told him that maybe he should be present also, being the Minister of Magic and all.

So it was agreed that the three men would meet with the king. Harry decided that he would wait in front of the school to greet them and lead them to Albus' office. They discussed the upcoming meeting for another hour before ending the Order meeting.

8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8

Three days later it was a nervous Harry Potter that was waiting on the front steps of Hogwarts to meet with the elf king himself. He was wearing his auror robes that did nothing to hide his well toned physique. He had let his hair grow down to his shoulder; it was now tied with a leather cord. He stood a good six feet tall and didn't wear his glasses anymore due to a newly invented eyesight correction spell. His bright green eyes shone with knowledge and power.

At noon exactly a golden light appeared in front of him and about fifteen elves appeared. Harry recognized the king right away; the older elf was wearing his usual royal robes and had his golden circlet of gold upon his head.

Harry walked up to the king and bowed; then he introduced himself.

"I am Harry James Potter, leader of the Order of the Phoenix."

The king and the elves didn't seem too shocked to see such a young man as the leader of the forces of the light; they knew that he had gone to school with their prince. When Harry looked at them the saw a very powerful wizard. They had felt the magic of the castle as soon that they arrived but it was nothing compared to the magic rolling off of Harry. From what they could tell his power was close if not equal than that of their prince.

"I am King Lirendel, I am happy to meat you Harry Potter. I have heard great things about you. I just didn't realize that they were talking of a very powerful young man.'

Harry chuckled; "Yes your majesty, people always expect something else when they first meet me. Now if you will please follow me, the headmaster and the Minister of Magic are waiting in the headmaster's office."

The king nodded giving his consent. The fifteen elves followed the young wizard. They were looking around amazed at the moving stairways and portraits. Harry introduced them to the headmaster and to Arthur Weasley. The king introduced himself and Lord Aldron who had accompanied him. When they were finally sitting down in front of Albus' desk the king noticed Fawkes sitting on his perch. The elves all looked in awe at the sacred bird. They had heard of Phoenixes but had never had the pleasure to see one. Harry who was standing next to the phoenix seemed to be in full conversation with the bird. When Harry noticed that his quiet conversation was being seen by the elves he turned around and smiled.

"Fawkes is professor Dumbledore's familiar. He is a fire phoenix. As my animagus form is that of a phoenix I can speak to him. Please keep the secret of my form to yourselves. It wouldn't do for Voldemort to find out."

"Amazing, young man, I have only ever seen another magical animagus before and his shape was also surprising." Said the king.

Harry's mouth opened in shock when he heard that there was another magical animagus.

"What is his form?"

"My great-grandson can transform into a dragon."

Harry's legs went weak so he had to sit down. Could the great-grandson of the king be the dragon that would help him?"

The king seemed to notice that Harry had been shocked by the news. Something about Draco being a dragon animagus seemed to have caused the shock.

"Is there something wrong?"

Albus who had been listening to the exchange decided to explain.

"When Harry was initiated into the order, the phoenix's voice was heard telling us that Harry would be its new leader and that with the help of the dragon he would be able to defeat Voldemort. I think that Harry was just surprised that your great-grandson is a dragon animagus. It's a very big coincidence that we would ally ourselves to you and that within your forces is the one to help Harry."

The king looked at Harry then looked at Lord Aldron. "Aldron, my friend, do you think that Draconis is ready to lead our forces if we were to call him back from his mission?"

"I think the prince would be ready, this would be a good test for him as a leader. And since he is half human he would know more about this world than any of us. I definitely think that it would be a good idea."

"I just worry about his reaction to returning to the human world. You know what kind of childhood he had here." Said the king with a worried look on his face.

"Yes I know, but he must overcome his past so he can go forward in his future. And I think that he might want to see his human family and explain to them where he went and that he's ok."

"Yes, you're right Aldron, when we get back home we will call him back from his mission. I think I will send your sons and Lord Nigel with them. This way he will have his friends and personal guards with him." Turning back to the headmaster he announced his decision.

"The counsel of elves and myself, have discussed this issue for the past three days and we've decided that we would send two units of elves to this realm. Each unit consists of a hundred elves. They will be lead by my great-grandson Prince Draconis. In this world my grandson is known under the name of Draco Malfoy. But he is not longer the young man that you have known. He is a well trained warrior and healer. He will be able to help the elves adjust to this new world. I ask that you treat him with the same respect as you would me. I know of his past. I know that you Harry Potter and Draco were not friends at school, but my grandson is a good man and is a very much loved leader in our world."

Harry, Albus and Arthur were shocked to learn that the elven prince was Draco Malfoy. The young man that had made Harry's life at school hell would now be his ally and from what he found out he was the dragon. Harry looked at the king and got up to shake his hand.

"I promise you your majesty that Prince Draconis will be treated with respect. Everyone changes for the better when given the chance. We were just children being children when we were rival in school. I will be looking forward to working with the prince."

The king got up and shook Harry's hand. "You have honor Harry Potter. To let go of old hatred is something that not many of us can do."

"I am the phoenix" Harry said, "Its not in my nature to hate. Besides I believe in giving people a second chance."

"I thank you for giving Draconis a second chance. He will need some help when he first comes back here. Maybe you can also contact his family and tell them to meet us here in a week. We will go back and prepare to send our troops here. They will follow a week after Draconis and his guards have arrived. This way it will give Draconis time to arrange living quarters for our forces. And he can meet with you and find out what must be done to stop the dark forces."

"I agree with the king Harry." Said the headmaster. "I think it will be a good thing for you to greet Draco and to tell him yourself that he has nothing to worry about your past rivalry."

Harry nodded and sat back down. The meeting lasted another hour then the king left to return to the elven realm. There was al lot of work to do and the king needed to contact Draco to tell him to return home to get his new assignment.
