The Goblin King
The four students, stood completely still, as if they'd been petrified. The blond haired man with mismatched eyes towered above them, with a slight smirk on his face. Colin was shaking like a leaf. Ron glared at the man.
"Where's Harry?" he demanded. "Who are you? Are you a Death eater?" The man remained quiet, and maintained a look of boredom, which angered the red- headed boy further.
"I'm Hermione Granger, Head Girl of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and if you do not tell us where Harry and then leave peacefully, I will have no option but to report you to our Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore." The man looked slightly amused.
"How is the old man?" he asked, his deep voice was laced with a thick English accent. Hermione had not been expecting, him to know Dumbledore and stared at him, shocked. "I must say, I have not seen him since my daughters wedding. I do hope he is well." Not being able to stand the man's evasiveness their questions, Ron exploded.
"Look here you Malfoy wannabe, tell us where Harry is or I'll grind you pulp! Once I've finished with you, you won't be able to recognize yourself in the bloody mirror!"
"Ron don't swear!" reprimanded Hermione. "Honestly you're such a ."
"Listen sir," interrupted Ginny. "Just tell us where Harry please, we just want him back. He's needed here in the wizarding world."
"You should have thought of that little girl," he replied. "Before you wished him away to my Labyrinth." Ginny gasped. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jareth. I'm Prince of the Underground and King of the Goblins."
"I can see why," Ron muttered under his breath, earning himself a piercing glare from the man he now knew as Jareth.
"If you want your friend back Virginia, you will have to complete my Labyrinth within 13 hours. Which, even if I do say so myself, is virtually impossible to complete. Only one woman has ever completed it, and she is now my Queen. Even if you do not win, I will not be turning him into a Goblin. None of the Goblin families in my Kingdom will want to adopt him as he is no longer an infant. He will, instead, be my personnel attendant. This friend of yours seems to be rather . special."
Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Colin digested the information that the King had given them. Harry Potter The-Boy-Who-Lived? A personnel attendant to the Goblin King? It would have been laughable if the situation hadn't been so serious.
"We'll do it," said Ginny. "We owe it to Harry because he's saved all our lives at one point or another."
"Your friends can't come with you Virginia. YOU were the one who wished Harry away and therefore must complete the Labyrinth on your own. Without the help of your friends."
"Hey! She's my sister, my responsibility. I am going with her whether you like it or not!"
"Yes, If Ron and Ginny are going, then I'm going too," added Hermione. Colin shrugged.
"Wherever Ginny goes, I go." The Goblin King laughed.
"Ah, such determination and foolish bravery," he mused. "Reminds me of my dear Sarah." Colin stared at Jareth.
"You. you married Sarah Williams?" he asked. "I thought it was just a legend that some guy based a film on."
"No it is a true story. Sarah Williams completed my Labyrinth in 1958. Of course I married her, I would have been a fool not to. Married her three years after she completed my Labyrinth. That reminds me, I shall need to see how my daughter's faring in the Aboveground." He quickly snapped out on reminiscing about his past and replaced the slight smile on his face with a sneer. "Well then girl," he said looking at Ginny. "Let's go, we have not got all day you know. Plus my wife will be waiting for me at dinner." With that, he produced a crystal out of thin air. He put a hand on Ginny's shoulder, and looked at the three remaining students. "Give Albus my regards," he said, as he and Ginny disappeared from sight.
