Disclaimer: Do to migraine I lack the desire to come up with something witty or sarcastic or some such thing, so let's just say go read the disclaimer on another chapter or fic.

AN: Sorry for the really long wait but the next chapter should be up in 3 or four days time and will be much longer than this one. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter 11: Elezari

15th sun 8th moon 5451st turn 7th age July 30th, 17849bc

It had been two weeks since the full-moon, in that time both Harry and Hermione had mastered their Phoenix, Atinean Owl and Akerian Wolf forms. They both agreed that the Phoenix form was the one that came most naturally to them. They hadn't even felt pain when they transformed, only warmth and they'd been able to do it in their first try.

At the moment they had stopped for a break, they had been traveling south since Remus had recovered from the full-moon two days after it passed. their goal was the straight that lay between the two places that would be known as England and France in the future.

"Hey Moony, any luck with wandless magic yet? You've been at it for almost two weeks now; Nee and I got it ages ago." Harry said as he watched Remus attempting to conjure some food wandlessly. "Well unlike you two brats," He said while mock glaring at them, "I happen to be older and so my magic is not used to coming out freely, so it is harder."

"Moony, you're not that old. I mean compared to Dumbledore, you're nothing but a kid." He saw the grimance that his words caused on Remus face, wondering why he was answered by Hermione. "Great words Ree, but I think Moony could have done without the 'not that old', the 'that' kind of ruined your purpose." Her words finished she burst into laughter along with Remus and Jasoph at the look on Harry's face.

"I hadn't realized how lonely it got traveling by oneself for ten years. I thank you once more for accompanying me." Jasoph said with a grateful look on his face. "It is no problem after all, you've helped us a lot, all the things we've learned from you, not to mention the sight seeing we're doing. It's a good thing we conjured those cameras or no one would believe us back home, they'd probably put us in St. Mugos 5th floor." Remus answered and at the confused face at the reference to St. Mugos he explained causing Jasoph to burst in laughter.

Two weeks afterwards they were still on their journey to the land that would one day be known as Atlantis. Harry and Hermione had mastered all but their dragon animagus form and all four had fallen into a daily routine for their travels. In the mornings from 5 to 7 they would train in unarmed and sword combat flowed by breakfast. After eating breakfast they would train in wand and wandless magic from 9 to 11:30 at which point they would eat lunch and continue moving south while at the same time learning the atlantian language so they could communicate with others of this time. They would continue until sunset at which time they'd set up the camp and eat dinner. After dinner they would learn magical theory, runes, arithmacy, atlantian customs and a bit of animagus practice and potions theory since the had very few ingredients and could only make the most basic of healing potions with them. They would practice these until it was between ten and twelve in the night and then go to sleep.

All four had improved greatly their abilities and had formed a very close bond which became closer as their journey progressed toward the land that would one day be called Atlantis. The next full-moon came and were forced to stay in the same place for a week because of the injuries Remus did to himself. But in that stay everything changed once more.

As they sat eating their diner for the night amid amusing stories of their pasts they were interrupted when a strange golden light started from Harry's side. The sword of Gryffindor was glowing like it did in his dream.

"What the…?" Harry asked before another familiar voice interrupted him.

"Heir, the first part of thy journey hath begun. Your companions are here, chosen wisely thou hath. Now to each of you a gift I give. By the debt I, Kurinai Elizari owe Gryffindor, to thee Harry James Potter Gryffindor I gift my knowledge of weapons and how to use them. I also gift ye the daggers of Salazar Slytherin, may the serve ye well and help defeat the bastard heir."

With those words the golden glow surrounded Harry and he found himself with the knowledge of many weapons both ancient and modern. With the same glow two daggers, one foot long made out of mithrill with a handle of platinum decorated in emeralds as bright as Harry's eyes appeared on the table. Written on each with emeralds and in parseltongue was the name Salazar Slytherin besides them two scabbards appeared made out of Basilisk hide decorated with silver and emeralds, adjustable to either forearm or hip both had the crest of the Slytherin house. Another scabbard appeared longer made out of dragon hide decorated in gold and rubies, on it the crest of Gryffindor house, this was the scabbard for Gryffindor's sword, now Harry's.

"By the debt I, Kurinai Elizari owe Gryffindor, to thee Hermione Jane Granger I give Rowena's Staff, the knowledge of its use and her foresight, may the serve ye as well as they did your ancestress, Lady Ravenclaw herself. May ye be known from now on as Hermione Jane Granger Ravenclaw"

The soft golden light surrounded Hermione as it had done Harry and she found herself with the knowledge of the staff, its secrets and how to use it plus how to differentiate between dreams and foresight. Then the staff appeared before her surrounded in the golden light. It was six feet tall, made out of Holly and decorated in bronze, amethysts, and a fist size blue diamond on the top. It had the crest of Ravenclaw house.

"By the debt I, Kurinai Elizari owe Gryffindor, to thee Remus Jamie Lupin I give Helga's scythe and hammer, the knowledge of their use, the ability to speak to all living things and her herbal lore. I also give ye her ability to control her werewolf curse. From myself I give ye the time thou hath lost because of thy curse and my sword. Be proud and carry thyne ancestor's names, be known from now on as Remus Jamie Kurenai Lupin Hufflepuff, may your loyalty prove to be as great as your ancestress.

With those words a hammer made out of black mithrill decorated with gold and the Hufflepuff crest appeared on the table next to a scabbard o place it at ones back. Next to the scabbard appeared a scythe made out the same materials and boring the same crest. Next to it a scabbard that appeared to hold only its blade appeared, it was made out of acromantula silk. At this same time Remus glowed and received all the knowledge he'd been gifted. The glow then intensified and Remus was blocked from view. When it receded his scars were gone and he looked to be the same age as his companions, and not like the sixty year old man he used to appear nor the 36 year old that he was. On the table besides the two weapons a Katana appeared boring the crest of Hufflepuff but also one that Remus recognized as the Lupin's crest. Besides it appeared its scabbard.

"By the debt I, Kurinai Elizari owe Gryffindor, to thee Jasophelythian Rendarak Draconiaz-Arqan I give the one thing you desire above all else, the knowledge that thou shalt never be alone again." This words caused a smile to appear on the young man's face. Continuing the voice said, "As Gryffindor protected my heir after my death so have I helped his heir and his companions which include my own heir on their quest. My debt complete, now I rest in peace." Wit those words the golden light left Gryffindor's sword, and a ghostly figure of a man that looked a lot like Remus appeared and after looking at them all slowly vanished.

Please remember to review as I would really appreciate it. Any reviewer who reviewed since the previous chapter that is not here I'll make sure to answer your question on the next one.

Reviews:

warra – hehe. Indeed my muse decided it would be funny as hell to add that while I was writing the chapter and who am I to refuse? Thank you for the review.

shion20 – a very good question you have, young padawan. But the answer is as yes as it is no. grins maliciously at not making sense

Samantha – well here you go, hope you enjoyed the future scene…or is it the past? Or maybe the present? You figure it out, don't feel like thinking about it. Thanks for another review!

gaul1 – Thanks for another review and do keep reading.

Warlord Harrsk – Atlantis is said to be far older than the human race coming from another race of humans that originated on this planet billions of years ago before a huge meteor shower some 1.4billion years ago or so when our solar sstem passed through the middle of our galaxial arm destroyed the entire world making the continents sink under the sea evaporating great parts of it and making a new landmass surface that which is now called Pangea. This is also the time in which the 5th planet of our system was probably destroyed, if you don't know the asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter used to be a planet. After millions of years I which the planet once more cooled down the surviving microorganisms once more started to evolve eventually coming to the same ultimate form as the superior being, why the same twice? Who knows, might have something to do with the type of planet plus it's gravity and the temperature there are a lot of factors with which I won't bore you, if you want to know more just let me know. Either way this being the case Atlantis would be billions of years old. Thank you for the review.

Anonymous – Thanks for the review.

Harrie – for your first review of chap 4, that is indeed a very good reason, though I never thought of it. As for the second review, lol. Poor VW Bug, mental image of it getting squashed as its namesake. And for the final one, about the animagus, you have to keep in mind that they do change into the animal, completely. So they will have the instincts and they have to learn to control them, which is what makes animagi something so hard to accomplish. Thank you for the reviews and your input.
