chapter 5
They discussed their plan and fine tuned everything for a few more minutes. Agreeing that the plan was as good as it was going to get, Severus dismissed the soldiers to get ready to go.
"We will meet at the gate in half an hour. Remember, this is going to be a human we are dealing with so there is no need for full armor, just basics and wear human clothing. We do not want to have any witnesses or have a bigger mess than we have. Dismissed."
Everyone filed out of the room except for Severus, the newly discovered twins, and Draco. Draco was putting away all the materials they had used during the meeting. Hermione and Harry were sitting in the, suprisingly comfortable, entwined branch chairs. Severus was staring out the window. Looking very deep in thought. Who could really blame him though? His two kids after sixteen years had finally returned to him, his sister in law, and nephew were in the house with a nut case, and to top it all off, it looked as if he was already going to be beating people with sticks to keep them away from the children. He noticed the way the warriors were starring at them. Both the men and the women were starring at them with almost a hunger. They had not even turned in to their real selves yet. Gods only knew what was going to happen then.
Finally Hermione spoke, "So what else is going to happen to Harry and me when you go to bed tonight? What other changes will we go through?"
Looking up at his daughter Severus began to explain," Well there are actually many things that will happen. You will grow into your natural bodies. Your mother and I are fairly tall so you each will probably gain a couple of inches. Your body's shapes will actually change; you will look more elf like, skinny, defined musles longer leg. You will be come more graceful, fair skinned, your eye and hair color will change to what you originally inherited, and things like that. You will also start to develop you Elvin magic.
"This is actually going to happen at a much faster pace than a normal Elf because you are so close to your birthday. Like with Harry's hearing. Most Elves are able to train and get use to controlling their hearing so it does not hurt them, because they are born with it, and able to keep it. With you two though, we will have to work something out until I can help you control it. The closer you are to you sixteenth birthday, the more power you receive. This is true for all Elves. So I warn you that when you wake up tomorrow, you should probably whisper and not really do anything until we can check you for all your powers. Then the same on your birthdays. I don't want you two to hurt yourselves or someone else. "
Harry and Hermione looked at each other in amassment, not actually believing to could happen to them. Draco saw their looks of disbelief. He smiled a little. He had felt the exact same way. He did not believe he could have been an elf. At the time, he was not sure who in his family could be one themselves. The Malfoy line was suppose to be all purebloods. Now he realized that it was just a cover, and a very well kept one, to protect. Not only his family and the Royal Family, but the entire elven race.
"Come on you three. We need to get you dressed. We need to meet the team in about fifteen minutes or so." Severus voice startled the three teens out of their musing. They all got up and followed him out the door. After walking a few minutes Severus stopped, Harry who had been so deep in thought almost ran into him. "Harry, here is your room. It is yours forever. Hermione, yours is on the left. The same goes for you. I want you two to feel like this is your home. You never have to go back to the muggle or wizarding world if you don't want to. This is your home. Your world, your kingdom." Severus glanced from his son to his daughter.
Then he looked at Draco, who nodded back in a silent response. The he turned back and addressed Harry and Mi. "Draco is your personal protector; he will be with you almost every waking second of the day. I realize that you three do not particularly care, or even like each other, but I want you to make some attempt at tolerating each other. His bedroom is right next to Harry's if you need anything from him."
"To contact me there is a mirror in your room that if you just think about who you want to talk to, within this castle, They are a more powerful version of the mirrors that Sirius gave to you Harry. That is actually where I got the idea to set these up in the kingdom. Now if you need me, just think of me or say First Born Prince. I'll contact you immediately to me; I always keep one with me.
"You have about 10 minutes left before we leave. Your clothes are on the bed, get those on and meet Draco outside of your room. You can explore later okay?" He had a ghost of a smile on his lips. He opened first Mi's door. Harry and Hermione walked in with awed looks on their faces. After a minute of them looking around Severus gave a interrupting 'ahem', getting the hint Harry scrambled out of the room while Hermione giggled. chuckling Severus turned to Hermione, "Meet Draco out here in 8 minutes."
Shutting the door, Severus turned to Harry. "This is your room," he nodded to the door next to Hermione's. Severus went over and opened this door. Harry slowly walked towards his new room. He never really had his own rooms before, Dudley's second bedroom he thought them as just that, Dudley's room. He was sure even if he had the smallest room in the castle; they would be great, because they were his. He never imagined this though. His room was huge!
He was about to go exploring when Severus' voice rang into the room, there was amusement laced in it, "You really are going to have to explore your rooms later. I am sorry, but if you want to come with us we are leaving in just a few minutes. I promise you can look at rooms later. Right now though, get your clothes on so we can go get your Aunt and Dudley." Severus gave Harry one last smile and shut the door.
"Well, this has been interesting day so far." Harry looked over to his bed to find some of the weirdest clothes he had ever seen in his life. He guessed that was the elven style. He supposed he would get use to it, like he had his wizarding robes. Those felt right, like a muggle with jeans. "I don't know though... I mean, look at them!" he said out loud.
It took Harry a few minutes to put on his clothes. He also had a few holsters and belts that held different daggers and things. Although he had no idea what he would do with these. There was also a wand holster that went on the side of his hip. His tunic was a dark, almost black navy blue that was form fitting. He had black pants, which were also form fitting. His cloth boots that went to his knees, were the same navy blue as his pants, and were trimmed in black. There was a black leather cord, to tie up his growing hair. He had never had to cut his hair before so he guessed now that he was getting his regular body back, all the hair he never cut was going to show up. It was already down to his shoulders. What the hell was he suppose to do this all that hair?
"MI!" He came out of his room and saw that he was the last one out. Draco was leaned up against the wall and Hermione was standing on front of his door with a hand in the air, as if she was going to knock.
"I was just coming to get you!" Taking a look at his hair then at the cord in his hand she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. "Turn around. honestly, where would you be with out me?" She started to French braid his hair. "Cord" he held out his hand and she took it and tied the end of the braid in it.
Draco had not said anything up to this point, seeing that she was done though he spoke up. "Come on. We need to go or we will be late." It was really the only time either of them had paid attention to the lack of malice in his voice. With out it he had a lovely, almost soothing voice.
Starting down the hall, Harry looked at Hermione. She had the same general arrangement, except her top was a dark purple. It looked beautiful on her. Suddenly they were outside; he could see Severus and the others waiting for them.
Harry looked a little pale but nodded along with the others. "Good, now let's go, Hermione, you will need to hold on to me, and Draco? Can you take a hold of Harry?"
Hermione glared at her father and whispered in his ear, "You can't do that! You're pushing them together!"
He smirked at her and whispered just as quietly, "Yes, but never in our agreement did you say I could not do that."
Draco looked over at the pair wonder what they were going on about. They might have well been saying it out loud. Everyone one could hear, except maybe Harry.
Looking at Harry he noticed that his breathing had gotten a little heavier.
"Alright everyone lets go."
Taking hold of Harry from the back and wrapping his arms around him, Draco noticed Harry's breathing had instantly clamed. Not thinking much of it he thought of the Dursley's, in a glow of light, he vanished with everyone else.
