Harry's Elven Friend

AKA: Mystix's Elven Order of Light

Chapter Two: Training in Mystix

"It all started while Ron, Hermione and I were having the running battle with the Death Eaters throughout Hogwart's and then were cornered. Now I have a few people that I would like to ask to come up here first before I go on. Will Ron and Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Gregory Goyle, Vincent Crabbe, Blaise Zambini and Professor Severus Snape please come forward for both some recognition, and for something that I am prepared to help some of you with. Also, if there is anyone else that is either wearing by choice or by force the Dark Mark that are here, please come forward also." Harry wasn't surprised when there wasn't anyone else that came forward besides the five Slytherin's that he had mentioned and the Professor. "Now that I have these people here in front of the students, I have a few things to say about them. First, Ginny I must apologize to you for not being able to help out before last night, and leaving you and my friends in the hands of Voldemort. I hope that one day you can forgive me for that, and it might sound a bit conceited, but after I explain some other things, you might find it easier to forgive me." He smiled weakly down at her as she was showing no emotion at this time, but he could tell that she was waiting for what he had to say about the last month. "Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, I pronounce now that you are free of your wizards debt to me to keep quiet about what happened that night in the hallway. If you would like, you may discuss it with anyone you want, or just keep it to yourselves." He was relieved when they rushed up to him and gave him a big hug telling him that they were there for him to help explain what was going on to the others, and that they hadn't told anyone, not Voldemort. "Thank you guys, that makes me feel a lot better. Professor Snape, will you please come to me with the Five other Slytherins that I had asked to come up here. These six people were instrumental in the final defeat of the Death Eaters this very night. Professor Snape in that he has been teaching Ron, Hermione and myself the art of Occulamancy, and we became masters of it. These five young Slytherins you all might know as some of the most mean, vindictive of them, well except for Blaise, but they came to me one night to tell me that if and whenVoldemort attacked the school, that they would help me take back the school. They stood on the sidelines of the Death Eater meetings, and were instrumental in letting us know at least a little before the attack happened. They might have been with the Death Eaters, but they were on our side. They were with 15 of their compatriots down in the corridor in the dungeon with Voldemort who had a few of the students hostage when I came down. They took the other 15 out while I was talking with Voldemort, and were instrumental in the eventual expulsion of Voldemort from the castle. These 6 deserve our applause as much as me and my compatriots do for taking back the school. So what do you say Hogwart's, do we recognize our saviors?" He smiled as the student body as a whole, and the staff along with the warriors of light stood to give them the standing ovation that they deserved. There was quite a few tears in the eyes of the Slytherins as they saw the applause.

As the ovation calmed down Harry smiled at Dumbledore who had his constant twinkle to his eyes, then he noticed that Ginny had walked up to him and hugged him. "I forgive you Harry, I think I understand why you did it. Just never ever do that to me again, do you hear?" Everyone that was near by had a laugh at the temper that the young red head had, but knew that she loved the boy-who-lived with all her heart. They were just waiting for the day that the four friends made it official, and announced to the school that they were going to be having a double wedding with the four of them. They figured that it would happen by the end of this year, for the golden trio were in their 7th year, and Ginny was in her 6th. Now that this happened, there was bets going on that by the time that the day was through, that they would be engaged.

"Now on to the other reason that I have called these 6 up here. I have been given the ability over the last month to remove the Dark Mark from your arms, and free you from your enslavement to Voldemort. Will you trust me to do this, I promise that it will only hurt for a little bit, but then it will be gone forever." Harry gave the six of them a reassuring smile, and hoped that they would at least trust him enough to do this.

The 5 students looked at each other, then at their head of household for advice. Professor Snape was as much flabbergasted as the rest of them on what to do about this. On one hand, they were being asked to trust the last bastion of the light side, knowing that he was the only one who could take out Voldemort, and the hated rival of most of them, but on the other hand, he was offering them the release from what they didn't want now anyway. They were just wondering who was going to be the brave one, and come up to him first. They looked at each other, then looked at Draco for he was the leader of their group, and he nodded. He walked up and stuck out his left hand exposing the forearm and the dark mark to him. "Ok Po.. I mean Harry, I will trust you on this, and let you do this to me. If it works, then the rest of them will come up and have it happen. Just remember that you are having a trust put upon you from people that have learned not to trust people as a rule. Don't take this trust lightly, for it isn't lightly given."

Harry nodded, and waved his wand over Draco's left forearm chanting a old elven spell that made the mark flash a bright red, and a small gasp escaped from Draco's lips, but it was quickly dissipated and so was the mark. "There you go Draco, it's all gone. That wasn't that bad now was it?" He raised an eyebrow at the blonde haired Slytherin and laughed a little bit at the genuine smile he got back. "Now I think I am ready to accept the offer of friendship that you offered me 7 years ago on our first train ride to Hogwart's." Harry offered his hand in friendship, and was happy that Draco took it in return. He then cast the spell on the others, and they were all happy to be gone of the mark, including having tears come to the eyes of the Potions Master eyes and was truly touched by his thanks.

"Now if you would all go back to your seats, I thank you all for your help. Now I will tell you all about what had happened over the last month to me. First off, I know some of you might think that this will be funny, but the house elves are more in contact with their older cousins the High Elves than most would believe.We were approached by Dobby and a few other of the house elves while we had our backs to the wall. They took us down to the Kitchens through one of their ways, and we met up with the leader of the Mystixs Order of Light, which you see my squad of behind me, and told that they would take me to train, and in one month that we would be back to take back the castle. Well we were a bit skeptical, but we were also desperate to do something. Ron and Hermione knew all about what was going on, but were sworn to a Wizard's oath to keep this secret so Voldemort wouldn't know whereI was. I have been in Mystix's training with the Order of Light in both weapons, which you can see that I'm bristling with, along with Magic, both with and without the wand. I have learned all kinds of potions, Healing, and other things that helps me with the Elven Race." He looked over to Ron and Hermione with a questioning look, and at their nod he went on. "I will go on with what went on after some sleep, but there is something that I would like to announce hopefully. There was something that happened that day that will bring about something special around in the next few months. Ginny will you come up here along with Ron and Hermione." When they came up, Ron and Hermione were smiling, but Ginny was looking bewildered. Harry kneeled in front of Ginny and pulled out a small ring box and asked. "Will you marry me Ginnny?"

Ginny just looked at him with awe in her eyes and nodded. She then gave him a big hug and a kiss before answering him out loud. "Of course I will Harry."

Harry smiled at her, and placed the ring onto her finger. "Well that makes it a double announcement then. I would like to announce the engagement of myself and Ginny Weasley, and the engagement of my best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." They all blushed at the applause that was sent up to them.

A/N: Sorry for not beingmuch onthe training, but I'm not much on descibing it. The next chapter will be Ron and Hermione's story about the month and what they did, along with the weddings. Please Read and review. ---Donald
