A/N: Here's another chapter, there will probably be another one up Thursday and then Saturday. A lot of the story will switch off between chiropractors, but when Harry gets older it will mainly be centered around him. Only one person has voted so far for a house, and only for Harry, keep voting. I still need houses for Terra and Dudley, as well as Harry, each outcome will affect the story in a slightly different way plus next chapter one or two others will need to be decided as well. The dialogue between Harry, Terra, and Dudley is all in child language. Thanks for reading and reviewing all questions are at the bottom, and please continue to read and review. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter does not belong to me, it belongs to J.K. Rowling and this is for fun only, nothing belongs to me, except a few characters, and the plot. Some belongs to T.A. Barron as well.

Age of Darkness: Year One

Chapter 5: New Home

Garlon heaved a huge sigh of relief as he saw the familiar surroundings of the Glass Palace. The one boy had quit biting him, and was looking at the palace in awe, the other little boy was just standing, trying hard not to look around or meet eye contact with his kidnapper. 'The things I do for family.' Garlon thought watching the two children. It was then he realized something. He realized that his brother would chew him out for endangering the life of a spectator, although which one was the spectator he did not know. He could no longer release either of them, even if he wanted to. They had seen the Glass Palace as well as Garlon, they would not be able to leave until they were either trustworthy or a member of the household. You could be a member of the household and not be trustworthy, as was seen in the battle of the Elementals. He looked at the kids again the somewhat fat one seeming to glare at him angrily. 'He won't be fat for long.' Garlon thought to himself as he raised his hand and told the two kids to follow him.

The two kids followed behind him warily until Garlon stopped at the room Terra was in.

"Terra this is your uncle Garlon, I'm coming in." Garlon told his niece, who was still quite young and despite that was already pretty intelligent. Terra however was an elemental, and like almost all elementals, they learned quick. She could speak a little bit, but not too much, the main thing though was she understood what was being said to her, even if she couldn't always answer back.

"Okay, Uncle Garlo.' A small feminine voice said from behind the door. Garlon cursed inwardly at the name, before stepping into the room the two boys in tow.

"Terra, these two shall be staying at the palace from now on, get them introduced. In the meantime I need to go speak with your father. Excuse me." Garlon said heading out the door and stopping halfway out. "Have fun and behave." Then with a slight pop, he was gone, causing both of the two little boys to stare in confusion and awe.

(meeting Terra)

Harry Potter as was the boys name, looked around fearfully as the strange man brought them to the unique place. He looked around in awe of the surroundings, and his eyes took special notice on the Lion and Snake painted upon the walls. The Lion was gold and very big, it had bristling furry hair and had its mouth open in a never ending roar. The snake, very large and eyes of golden yellow was at least fifty feet long, if not more. Its skin looked hard and bumpy, like the lion its mouth two was open showing the teeth and two monstrous fangs. It was coiled around the lion in a position and ready to strike. Harry for an unknown reason seemed to pity the snake, as well as the lion, but to a different extent. The snake reminded him of himself, why though he did not know.

He took a cautious glance at his captor who seemed to be thinking to himself before falling his gaze upon his cousin. His cousin who had never seen anything so unique had his face lit in joy and awe. It was then that Harry realized that his cousin could still change. He took a cautious glance outside the window over to the left of a raven statue. What he saw amazed him.

Looking out he saw hundreds of thousands of sea life, a whirling white mass in the distance, looking as if it surrounded the entire palace. He also happened to see a very large sea serpent swimming around and it stopped briefly, staring at him before seeming to nod its head and swimming off. He walked back over to his cousin and found out he had missed whatever the man had just said. He just followed his cousin. They walked for a good ten to twenty minutes, upstairs behind walls, up a strange device that took them up fast, and even through hidden doors in walls before finally coming to rest on a door.

The door was covered with what looked to be a giant lizard, a walking tree, and real vines covering the entrance. The man spoke again, and the vines slowly disappeared or at least retracted so opening of the door was possible. A small girl voice was heard from behind the door, as the man named 'Garlo' opened it and a girl no more than a year or two older than him was seen.

The girl had long straight brown hair, earthly green eyes, and a large smile on her face at the sight of the two children. Harry watched his cousin drop his jaw, looked like someone had a crush. He'd tease his cousin about it later. He then heard that the girl's name was Terra. Dudley waved shyly, which was surprising and then 'Garlo' spoke again.

"Terra, these two shall be staying at the palace from now on, get them introduced. In the meantime I need to go speak with your father. Excuse me." Garlon said heading out the door and stopping halfway out. "Have fun and behave." Then with a slight pop, he was gone, much to the astonishment of Harry and Dudley. The little girl giggled at their confused expressions.

Harry gave her a look that seemed to spell out 'What?'

"You're muggles right?" Terra asked smirking superiorly to the two boys.

"moggles?" Dudley asked.

"Muggles." Terra corrected him. "Non-magic folk." The two boys gasped in shock and covered their mouths. Terra looked on wonderingly.

"What?" She asked stomping her foot impatiently.

"You said the M-word." Harry said quietly.

"What? Muggles?" The two boys shook her head. "Magic?" She asked cautiously and very confused. The two boys gasped again.

"The M-word isn't real. Uncle Vernon said so. If he were here you'd get a beating." Dudley said carefully.

"Whatever. Get used to it. Magic is real, as you'll soon discover." The two boys gasped at the sound of the M-word again. "Get a grip. Apparently you two are staying here from now on. My name is Terra Quake, daughter of Nimue element of darkness and Merlin element of light." She said bowing.

"Who?" Dudley asked stupidly. He had never heard of Nimue or Merlin, then again Harry hadn't either.

"You don't know who Merlin is?" Terra asked the two boys. She sighed when they both shook their heads. "Merlin is the greatest wizard of al-" The two boys gasped and started looking around, afraid that Vernon would arrive at any minute, to reprimand and harm the child who dared breathe the word wizard near him or his children.

'Okay. Won't say that word again either.' Terra thought to herself. "Never mind, you'll meet him later. What are your names?"

Dudley was the first to introduce himself. "Dudley Dursley." He managed with a slight squeak. The two shook hands, Dudley held onto her hand a bit longer than she probably would have liked.

"Good to meet you." Terra said before turning to Harry.

"My name is Harry Potter, Dudley is my cousin." Harry said shaking Terra's hand.

The three children continued to chat, in their unintelligible form of communication and none had heard that Garlon had reappeared and had put his head to the door listening in.

'I may not be able to see or understand them. But at least they seem to be getting along. Now to go speak with the rest of them, man are they going to give it to me.' Then with a smaller 'pop' than before he disappeared again, this time for good.

(Meeting)

Garlon reappeared in the Hall of Fire on the other side of the palace, his destination was the room all the way down and to the right, the door was painted with red, green, black, white, and blue. It came together to form a large multicolored dragon. Only a few knew the reason why, and they had agreed not to say, to their fellows.

The Hall of Fire on the other hand was real, it was a literal hall on fire, forever. The flames licked his skin as Garlon continued heading to the door. The flames were real, it kept out any unwanted or unworthy, as the flames could take the shape of a large hellhound. A hellhound was a large dog made of fire, ash, and dust, along with the rotting corpse of a long dead dog, it lived in the flames and in a way was created by the flames. Even though no one knew where the Glass Palace was, Merlin had long since become paranoid, and often set traps in unsuspecting places, most of the time he was normal, but it hurt him deeply when Yuri and the others betrayed him. Yuri was like a brother to Merlin, and the betrayal hit hard, it didn't help that while being sent a message to help, he was then captured and thrown in the cave. Merlin's trust was broken and since had become much more paranoid, which if anyone discovered the location of the Glass Palace would be a very bad thing for the discoverer.

Almost to the door the hellhound suddenly appeared in front of him. It growled once and then went and sniffed him, recognizing the scent the dog returned to the flames. Garlon then opened the door.

Merlin and Nimue were already seated, next to each other at the end of the table, next to Merlin was Salazar, and Helga. Next to Nimue were Rowena and Godric, the only seat still left was the one directly across from his brother and his wife, and in between Helga and Godric. The table was circular and was at the moment quite small, they could make it larger if they needed, it only took up 1/8 of the room, and that was at it's full size. This room was known as the War or Planning Room.

"Ah, brother. How went the mission? I trust everything was pulled off flawlessly?" Merlin said his eyes twinkling annoyingly. He had no doubt his brother realized his mistake and just wanted him to admit it to everyone in the room, damn his brother.

"Of course. It went out without a flaw, look I even brought some food from above ground. He magically appeared the sack of food and set it on the table." He hoped this would cause them from asking any more questions.

"Hm. I heard differently." Salazar said much to Garlon's chagrin.

"I don't know where you would hear anything, as you like the rest of us are far below ground level and can't go to the surface." Garlon snapped at Salazar who just sneered in response.

"It's okay Garlon we were told by Merlin that something went wrong, although we don't know what." Helga said looking questioningly at Garlon, who blushed though it went unnoticed by all except Helga and Merlin.

"Thanks a lot brother." Garlon mumbled, hoping no one could hear him. Of course everyone could.

"Your welcome." Merlin said cheerfully. "Now would you mind explaining what happened?"

"Very well. You remember how you told me to get the one elemental?" The rest nodded. "Well I got him, although I don't know which one it is." Garlon said rather offhandedly.

"You're trying to tell us, that instead of one child you managed to kidnap two?" Godric asked with a slight sigh.

"Figures, shouldn't have trusted that man to the task, one of us would be better suited." Salazar said coldly.

"Yeah, well you're considered dead and you specifically a traitor to the wizarding world." Garlon said angrily, not really angry, he and Salazar often fought, it helped pass time.

"You know perfectly well, that wasn't my fault!" Salazar yelled at him, losing his cool.

"Yeah, well try tell that to them. Oh wait just a minute, they see you they'll try to avada you to death."

"Why you-"

"Enough!" Nimue snapped causing both to back down and put their heads down in shame. Nimue and Rowena were the two who kept everyone in line and stopped things from going out of control. Nimue was often harsh, Rowena wasn't and when she did it was scary, almost as scary as when Merlin got angry.

"Sorry." Garlon and Salazar mumbled in unison, glaring at each other.

"As amusing as this is, I believe you had something you wanted to tell us?" Rowena spoke kindly to them, making Garlon frightened, Rowena wasn't often kindly.

"I'd also appreciate it if you did not think things about me when I'm in the room. As you know I have a habit of picking up…unusual thoughts."

"Sorry, you're absolutely correct."

"Indeed. As Rowena said, despite the amusement we get out of this you have something to tell us." Merlin said to his brother.

"Ah, yeah. I ended up getting to kids in the household. You never told me which one it was so when I was discovered by both of the two little brats, I grabbed both of them and exited as fast as I could."

"Oh dear." Helga exclaimed suddenly.

"Despite this incident, the elemental is indeed here, and the other is a very powerful wizard so he can be trained as well."

"Of course. What were the boy's names again?" Garlon asked.

"From what I've been able to tell their names are Harry Potter and Dudley Dursley. I know Harry for a fact is an elemental and even though Dudley isn't, he is an heir to the three families and thus shall be trained just as much as Harry. We'll begin their training in three days. We'll resort back to our usual teachings, but as they are children right now learning to read, write and cast magic will be the most important, followed by history, and the rest can be free time. As they get older we'll add more classes until by age seven they shall begin studying in every subject imaginable. Hopefully by the time they must re-enter the wizarding world they will be ready for the trials and missions they are required to accomplish. Now let's go meet the children." With that Merlin and the rest went to meet the children, they continued to grow and become brighter and brighter, it was only the three of them for five long years, after those five years were up they were to start their training for everything and would be able to use time turners to accomplish their deeds, it was around this time two more elementals emerged.

A/N: Somewhat of a short chapter. I want to get to Hogwarts soon, so I'm skipping ahead, next chapter will be the entrance of two more elementals, then we'll skip ahead to when their eleven and ready to enter Hogwarts. I thank all my readers who are reading and reviewing this and hope this continues to hold your interest. I also have started a new story called the Dark Trilogy part one: Dark War which is a crossover, between FFVII, HP, LOTR, and FFX, although the last one is not for sure yet. Thanks again now here are the answers to your questions, and only questions.

bluefire-elemental: no worries. You will definitely see Dumbledore's reaction, and as to an early Sirius and Remus, well Sirius will be early this story, however Remus may not be until the second or possibly not until the third story.

Athena kitty: As you've seen, the Dursleys play a larger role in this story than in the actual books. Vernon heir to Grindelwald, Petunia wife of Snape, and Dudley taken by Garlon as well as being wizard and heir to the founders.

Nimeariel: As of this moment Dudley is not an elemental, he is just a very powerful wizard, similar to Garlon, whether he becomes an elemental later, you'll have to read and see.

Andypotter1222: Ah yes Ginny and Neville, and also Blaise for anyone following, they are not dead. You find out what happens to at least one of them, one of them though not for quite a while.

veronik: Harry's in this chapter and Dudley shall turn out nothing like his book self.

Wolfbear: That's a very good idea, I was actually thinking of doing something similar if no one voted. Right now it is between no house and Slytherin. I still need places for Dudley, and Terra though. As for a beta, absolutely right, I'll look into it.

Thanks to all my reviewers and readers, I won't do another of these until probably the Hogwarts Express, that chapter will be last for voting as well.
