Recap: "I already have the potions you required brewed." He said.

"Good the Granger's won't know what hit them." Dumbledore said.

McGonagall sat there and mentally told Dumbledore that it wasn't going to happen not while she was around.

Chapter 9

Remus sat there blinking, one minute he was in a forced order meeting the next he is sitting in front of a missing Harry Potter, who was writing a note to Albus. He looked around the room he could see that Tonks and Hermione were standing with several of Harry's classmates. He watched as Harry vanished the note and calmly held out his hand to Remus.

"Why hello Remus and what brings you here?" He asked. Remus just blinked, Remus quickly stood up and stared at the young man in front of him. Harry was still wearing the armor he wore to Gringotts but his helmet was on a table near a laughing Tonks as she watched something in the pensive.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"You my friend are amongst friends, those who won't imprison you for any reason." Kali said, looking up from the bowl. "Hey Harry did. You have to hit your spies with that curse?"

"Why certainly if they were left alone then it would raise suspicions." Harry said.

"Actually it wouldn't. They could have said that who didn't know where they stood with you." Liu said.

"I'm sorry but could someone please explain to me what in the world you are talking about and who are you two?" Remus asked slightly confused.

"I am Princess Liu. Next in line for the throne of the Woodland elves." Liu said.

"And I'm Prince Kali, the next in line for the throne of the High elves." Remus looked at the two, then looked at Harry. Remus just stood there a minute before passing out, before he could hit the floor, Harry caught him. Kali helped him drag the unconscious werewolf to the couch that was in the room.

"I think that when he awakens that he is going to want an explanation of how you managed to change in the past two and a half months." Liu said.

"Hard training by a sadistic commander." Harry said. "Ten miles in the morning. That is just a warm up. Then it's a few hundred push ups and setups then we start the true training, followed by another ten mile run just to end the day. I don't even want to mention the hand to hand training that we received. Twenty broken bones by the end of the month." Harry said.

"Well you did want to train." Kali said with a slight chuckle. "Should I waken Mr. Lupin and give him his explanation or do you want to Harry?"

"I'll do it." He said, "After training." He added as an after thought.

Remus awoke an hour later he looked around at his settings and remembered where we was and how he got there. Taking his chance he got up off the couch, he touched to knob on the door when it opened. He was startled to see an armored elf standing on the other side. Remus took the chance to look at the armor he was wearing, he couldn't name the armor he wore but to him it look like he was a samurai. He even answered Remus's unasked question when he drew his blade. Remus backed away in fright when the blade was drawn. The elf seeing the result quickly sheathed the slightly curved blade.

"My apologizes. I did not intend to frighten you." He said.

"What is that metal? I can sense it is not silver but yet is deadly?" Remus asked.

"All of our blades are made of Mithril. It is the only known metal that can kill a Dementor. Lord Potter has asked me to bring you to him my lord." The elf replied.

"Harry's a lord?"

"No not yet. It is his title but not until he is twenty-five. Please follow me." The elf said walking down the hall. Remus was forced to run down the hall after the elf.

"Where is Harry at the moment?"

"He's at the range. He's a poor marksman, but can dance with the fiercest swordsman we have. A fine fight that was went twenty minutes before falling to Nercros. Harry gave him his toughest fight in his five hundred years of life. He took lord Potter under his wing and started a more demanding training regime, and that was just two weeks ago. In fact each on of his friends are getting personal training now that I think of it. But then again you are human so it is your nature to master any art if you never give up. I have watched them when I'm training. They are good and may survive the next encounter with the Dark Lord." The Elf said. As they neared the arena, Remus could hear what sounded like an army fighting. The ringing of steel on steel could be heard, he looked at his guide who just motioned him to go inside. Remus entered to the arena and he could see at least eight to ninety elves training. Some were dueling with a blade of some sort, he saw Harry standing by a Tonks and Hermione and the three of them were holding bows. He watched Harry notch an arrow to the string, Harry took aim and released. Remus watched as an arrow nail the shooting dummy in the chest. Hermione fired next and the arrow took the dummy in the throat. Finally Tonks released and Remus cringed at were the arrow winds up.

"She did that on purpose." Someone near the line hollered out. He noticed a few laughed nervously. He approached Harry and was going to call out when Harry suddenly spun and notched an arrow, but he stopped before he released. Harry eased the tension on the twine and put the arrow back into the quiver. Remus just looked at Harry, in the two months since he had been missing he looked good actually, and healthy. Suddenly Remus gabbed Harry and hugged him.

"Miss me much?" Harry asked when the two broke apart.

"Yes Dumbledore told us you ran away and took Tonks with you." Remus said.

"I did runaway. Away from Dumbledore and his traitors. I went to Hermione's got her parents to okay for her to join me on some damn fool's quest, got to see Ginny hexed, even watched four elves dismantle twelve Death Eaters. Then got several spies in the order. Then wolfnapped you during a meeting. That is about it." Harry said. "I'm having a fun summer."

"I see." Remus said in shock.

"To top it all off were going to have some fun with Dumbledore on my birthday, and then the following day when Sirius's will is read." Harry said.

"Do tell."

"Uh, how about never. It's a surprise." Harry said with a laugh. Then he noticed Remus's shock at a laughing Harry. "I've been talking to Hermione and Tonks. Those two along with Kali have been helping me through my grief. I realize that going to the Ministry was a bad idea but when someone lies to you when you try to find out if what you saw was true. Followed by two sadistic teachers, whom shall remain nameless. Snape, and Umbridge. What they did was damning and I will have my revenge on both of them. What happened that night will forever be burnt into my mind Remus. I can't forget it. Then Pimplehead shows up along with the true Dark Lord Dumbledore, they duel, Moldy possesses me, tries to get Dumb-dumb to kill me doesn't work. But when Tom was trying to get me killed I could only think of one thing that I would get to see my parents and Sirius again. After that I hear a painful scream then Toms tries to kill me. Well you saw. Finally Dumbledore takes me to his office and reveals that my parents were killed because of some stupid old bat's prophecy. He told me the whole damned thing Remus." By now everyone in the arena was listening to what Harry was saying. Many were silently applauding the young man for living through the attempted possession. There were a few wondered why Dumbledore was considered a dark lord.

"Why do you consider Professor Dumbledore a dark lord Harry?" Remus asked quietly.

"Every year I told him I didn't want to go back to the Dursley's but he made me by saying the blood wards needed to be renewed. No, that wasn't it the blood wards failed the night the Dursley's said that I didn't belong in the house. Dumbledore knew of my living conditions and how the Dursley's were treating me and he didn't do a thing, now I ask you would a wizard of the light allow such a thing for a child who can't defend themselves. No, they wouldn't, and they would step in. Dumbledore knew who the spy was and didn't do a thing. Sirius was there that night after Voldemort was defeated the first time. But Dumbledore told Hagrid that Sirius was the one gave up my parents. He put me with the Dursley's because he wanted me to grow up to where I would have to rely on him. He wants his weapon and The Dark Lord to do a mutual take down. Well guess what Remus I'm the weapon that Dumbhead wanted to protect."

Everyone just stood there listening to Harry's rant, but yet no one could miss the reference to the weapon comment he made. The watched him as he stood there, his hands were balled up into a fist they could see the anger on his face. The way he was standing made many very weary of Harry.

"And yet Dumbledore is right. I am a weapon. But not his. I will fight for those who can't, I will fight because it's not only my destiny but because it's the right thing to do. This is the path I have taken, on that I walk freely. It's not easy, but then if it were easy I would be falling into Dumbledore's trap, now wouldn't I." He continued. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches . . . born to those who have thrice defied him, Born as the seventh month dies . . . And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have powers the Dark Lord knows not . . . And must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives . . . The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. There are two people who are described by that dammed prophecy, and your looking at one of them, Remus. He marked me as his equal, the night he killed my parents."

"The other?" Neville asked quietly.

"The other described is you Neville. We both were born as the seventh month died. Both our parents defied him thrice. The only difference is your parents are a live, but not well. They are currently residents in St. Mongo's. You and I are in the same boat Neville. You have a power about you that is slow evolving. It's in all of you!" Harry called out the shocked crowd they could see he was surrounded by a soft golden glow. "Everyone here has a special ability that they have developed and use every day. It is here and now that you must make a choice to fight with me or against me. And if you fight against me you will lose. So Remus make your choice?"

A lone elf walked out of the crowd and approached Harry. The elven warrior looked him in the eyes then to every ones surprise the elf kneeled in front of Harry. He drew his sword and his bow and laid it upon his palms and held it up for Harry to grab.

"My lord I Anaric of the Woodland elves give you my weapons, for they are yours to command." He said. Harry stood there in shock he looked over to Kali to ask for his help, but got an even bigger surprise. Kali drew his weapons and knelt by the other.

"I Kali prince of the High Elves, give you my weapons, for they are yours to command." He watched as each elf repeat the action what he wasn't excepting was his friend's response. They drew their wands and laid them flat across their upturned hands.

"I Neville Longbottom do here by swear on my life to follow you from this day forth until you see fit to release me."

"I Luna Lovegood do here by swear on my life to follow you from this day forth until you see fit to release me."

"I Hermione Granger do here by swear on my life to follow you from this day forth until you see fit to release me."

"I Nymphadora Tonks do here by swear on my life to follow you from this day forth until you see fit to release me."

"I Susan Bones do here by swear on my life to follow you from this day forth until you see fit to release me."

Remus drew his wand and repeated what the oath the others swore.

"Why?" Harry asked Remus.

"When you were born, I promised your parents to watch over you if any thing were to happen. But Dumbledore interfered with that, so I couldn't help you. Now you have given me a second chance at fulfilling my promise. Sirius already has, now. It's my time. I would gladly give my life up to see you live." Remus said.

"You lead an interesting life Harry Potter." Ami said walking into the arena. "But you have haven't told your warriors if you accept their offers, or not."

Harry put his hand on the sword the elf who first came to him. "I Harry James Potter accept your weapons. May they prove useful in the coming fight against Voldemort and his army. And for my friends I have always accepted your help even if it doesn't seem like it. All of you arise." Harry said

Before he knew, it there was only a day before his birthday, and tonight his friends' marriage. The city was buzzing with excitement as they prepared. Harry tried hard not to laugh at Kali every time he saw the young elf. He seemed nervous for more useful than normal well normal for an elf. He was pacing in his room and looking over by the lake where he could see that a small dock was being built. Harry tried his best to ease the mind of the nervous elf while Remus was making it worse. But suddenly Yu and Ami walked into the room.

"Mr. Potter I have brought the parents of Hermione Granger and Nymphadora Tonks like you asked." Yu said. Harry left the room. He went down to the room where the group he wanted to speak with.

"Harry Yu said last night you wished to speak with us." Dan said.

"Yes there are two things we must speak of but. One is good the other not so. But I leave it for you to decide to hear. The good or the bad?" Harry asked.

"The good." Mrs. Tonks said. "Oh and call me Andromeda or Andy your preference. , And call him Ted." She said.

"Not at the moment. Mr. and Mrs. Grange, Mr. And Mrs. Tonks I would like your permission to put a promise ring on you daughters finger, as a sign that when the time is right I marry both." He said. He now understood what Kali is going through right now. But he nearly fainted when he heard Dan speak.

"Harry why ask our permission?"

"I haven't seen Nym this happy in years. You have my permission." Ted said.

"I felt right that I get your permission first." Harry replied to Dan's question.

"They you have it." Emma replied. "Like Ted said. This is the first time I have seen Hermione happier. You fill her life Harry, just treat her right."

Harry sighted in relief, and looked at the four.

"I have one question that has been running around in my mind. Why are you agreeing to me having two women in my life? Even more so that I want to marry both?" He asked.

"Well Harry in the wizarding world multiple marriages are some what common, it's a common way to secure alliances between multiple families." Andromeda said. "And now I believe you said you had some bad news."

"Ah yes." Harry said. "Well lets start at the beginning shall we. About two months ago I learned from Hermione that Ron was spying on me. No big thing. But then I put two and two together and came up with this. The Headmaster was using me as a weapon, and as a piece from a chest set, as if to be put back inside a box and stored for later use. I did everything he wished of me unconsciously. It took a letter from Hermione to make me realize this. She told me right out that the traitors got her to spy on me. She told me and apologized for this." Harry said.

"Why do I have the feeling this is going to go from bad to worse?" Dan asked.

"It does. I learned from Kali that Ron was promised both Tonks and Hermione, and I to Ginny. We were give no notice of this arraignment, and judging from your murderous looks that you didn't ether." Harry said.

"Are you doing this to beat Mr. Weasley?" Ted asked.

"Hell no! Both Tonks and Hermione are held very dear to my heart. I would die for them." He trailed off as he said this. He lowered his head deep in thought, his mind was racing as he made this proclamation.

He was startled out of his musing by Ted. "I think that my daughter would be happy with and Miss Granger, so I greatly welcome you to the family."

"And if I said it was to beat Ron?"

"You couldn't hide." Was the simple answer.

"I love both of them and will do anything to keep them safe and happy. But there is a small portion of my mind saying 'I beat Ron.' Does that make any since to you?" He asked.

"Clearly." The four said at once, then started to laugh. "So when are you going too slid those rings on there fingers?" Dan asked.

"Tomorrow night." A gong could be heard and an elf came into the room.

"There is an hour before the wedding ceremonies I'm here to give you these." She said holding up four robes. "Just slid them over you clothing." She turned to Harry "You are needed by King Yu's request. He's with Prince Kali at the moment."

"Later." Harry said. He found Yu and Kali near the area where the wedding was taking place. "I was informed you needed me."

"Yes Harry I want you to stand with me." Kali asked.

"Why me?"

"You have the respect of every elf here, and on the plus side you're my friend."

"Okay what do you need me to do?"

"Just stand there and look important."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. The wedding is to start soon." Yu said.

Harry stood there watching Kali and Liu as the two knelt in front of the elven cleric. Although the cleric was speaking in elvish, Harry could slightly understand what was being said. Before Harry knew it the ceremony was over, and the two newly weds had vanished. Yu said something that got several laughing. The crowd started to disperse when a gong started to sound in the city. Each of the elven warriors started to run to their post. Then suddenly the iron gates that had proctected the city for nearly a millennium blew inwards from the force of the explosion.

"DROW, THEY'VE BREACHED THE DOORS!" Came the scream. Suddenly the sound of ringing metal could be heard.

A/N WELL I DIDN'T GET TO THE WILL READING YET BUT HEY AT LEAST I LEFT YOU HANGING:) ME LIKEY WHAT I DID.
