Disclaimer: You know, even writting these things make me depressed, its like 'I already know I don't own it, do you have to rub it in!'.
Another chapter! Yay. Please also check out my one shot. Okay that was random. I can't yet decided if I should end it with one or two more chapters and write a sequal, or keep writing on this one? Please help me make a decision.
Remeber to Review.
Chapter 9
"It all began in a beautiful forest, the most beautiful place you could ever imagine. It was the Forest of the Elves. Not house elves, heavens no, these were beings of much power. People that where to be respected. They where the Alu Elves.
These elves where long forgotten by all mankind, humans and muggle alike. That's how they liked it, peaceful, well sort of anyway.
Right in the middle of their forest sat a kingdom, a magnificent kingdom. The biggest the world had ever seen. This kingdom lived with the forest, not in it; it lived in harmony with the nature around it.
Of course it would not be a kingdom without a king? Yes, there was a king, and he was a great one. The greatest the elves had ever seen, grant it, elves live very long lives, not immortal ones, as they can be killed, but long ones nonetheless. This king, of course, had a family, for what great king does not? He had a beautiful wife and two beautiful kids. Twins, they where, the kids I mean. Though they looked nothing alike. The boy fair with dark haired and dark eyes, like his father. The girl was like a goddess. She had cream-colored skin, and the fieriest red hair. And just like her mother, her eyes here a sparkling emerald, like green grass on a bright sunny day…"
"My mum." Harry said, his eyes out of focus. Severus nodded.
"Your mum."
"Unfortunately, though the elves remained unnoticed by humans, they where not hidden from everything.
They where at war at the time of twins' birth, with creatures that called themselves, the Noore. The same night the twins where born, the Noore attacked. The queen, whose name was Ellen (in English), well she was terrified for her children. Casting a spell of protection, and another to hide their elfish features. She then gave each child to one of her two most trusted guards, telling them to take them too the human world. Handing them a letter that they where to give to the new parents, she shooed them away.
That night the Noore killed many elves, including the king. But, finally, peace prevailed.
Regrettably though, there is an ancient law that says if a child that has not yet received their inheritance leaves the forest, or is not born in the forest, they cannot enter it again until they became an adult, or receive their inheritance.
So the queen went on ruling, and the twins where given to families in the humans world. Even when it came time for their inheritance, the spell continued to mask the elfish features. They passed it off as wizards' inheritance, which is much like elves.
The boy grew up in a magical family, the girl muggle. Both had relatively happy life's' with no knowledge of their true race or family.
Eleven years past, and both received letters to a magical school called Hogwarts.
Now before you ask, this is possible. Elves do have magic, much more powerful that any wizards. Some even prefer to channel their power with wands, like wizards. Though, most elves find that wands tend to weaken their powers, when used.
From first sight, the twins where best friends. They remained best friends all though their seven years of schooling. Not even house rivalries could set them apart. Their friendship never wavered when the girl began dating the boy's worst enemy.
When the boy got caught up in dark thoughts, and found himself in a bad situation. It was the girl who helped him out. Showed him the light.
Both ended up married to their true love, though the boys in secret, as he was now a spy.
They each ended up having wonderful children, the boy two, and the girl one. Unfortunately this is no fairy tail, with a happily after ending.
One Halloween night both families where sitting at home, It was a normal evening. Then Voldemort attacked the girl's family. I do believe you all know what happens there.
Well, what you don't know is, though it was Lily's protection that saved you, she was not killed. Our mother's protection saved her. She was instead transported to the Forest, along with her twin. There they found a letter, explaining everything, and undoing the spells hiding their true heritage. Explaining how the spell had killed her, instead of Lily, and that they where not to feel guilty. The queen missed her husband, it high time she saw him again.
They found out that Lily was the oldest, and because of that she was queen. Being queen, she could not leave forest; she was heartbroken that she could not have you with her.
If you haven't noticed by now, yes I am the boy, your uncle. Well, I was sent to watch you, to make sure you where okay. I failed, I'm sorry. I was stuck as Dumbledore spy. The man is as bad a Voldemort. Plus, I couldn't bring myself to be nice; I knew I would become attached; you are too much like Lily. We couldn't have that or we would both be dead.
Now though, my debt has been paid. I am through with this spying business."
Severus sat back, finished, waiting with anticipation for Harry's reaction. Harry look at him with those sparkling emerald eyes, filled with hope.
"So, you're my uncle."
"Yes."
"And my moms still alive? What about my dad?"
"Yes she is. About your dad, they found out that he was actually another elf child that was taken to the humans during the war. Unfortunately, he had no protection on him. I'm sorry."
Harry looked put out by this, but still excited by the fact that his mum was alive.
He turned to the teens next to him.
"So where cousins aye? Wait, how come I didn't see at Hogwarts? "
Severus smiled.
"Well there is a simple answer for that. When Lily and I found out about our heritage, we also found there where many other elves that had been sent to the human world during the war.
So, we built this Castle to house those elves until they and their children could return to the forest. It's sort of like a school; children live here until they come to their inheritance. Sometimes their parents will stay with them, especially the younger ones. Often though, the parents just visit when they have time, or for holidays. Here kids learn all about our world, and our customs. It's called Edhel ilm, or Elf Mansion. My kids have been living here, where neither Voldemort nor Dumbledore can get to them. My wife is in the forest, helping Lily rule our kingdom.
I'm truly sorry you couldn't have grown up here. Unfortunately, the wizard world would have panicked finding their savior missing. Dumbledore would have ordered me to find you, and seeing as I owe him a life debt, I would have had to give him to you. It wouldn't have worked. Again, I'm sorry."
Harry nodded.
"It's okay, I understand. Speaking of Dumbledore does he know anything about this? I'm sure he's furious about me leaving private drive. Man, I wish I could see his face now!"
Severus smirked.
"The old coot knows nothing. Your right about him being furious, look at this."
Sev handed Harry the letter Fawkes had delivered earlier.
Dear Severus and Harry,
Where are you? You must return to private drive immediately! Or there will be dire consequences. I assure you I am very angry. There better be an explanation for this!
Albus…blah blah blah blah …Harry laughed, for the first time in a while.
"Uncle Sev? Is there anyway for me to write a reply to this?"
Just then, Fawkes appeared, so Sev handed Harry some parchment and a quill.
Dear Old Coot!Where I am is none of your dam business.
Harry Potter
The-Boy-Who-You-No-Longer-Control
Severus laughed as he read Harry's note, he then gave it to Fawkes. The bird disappeared in a ball of fire.
The old man was a fool; revenge was going to be sweet!
Questions? Comments? Ideas? Hate it? Love it? Want to kill me now?
Hope you like it. Let me know if I didn't explain something. Though I may have left it out on perpous.
Please Review!
