Chapter 12 Light Fairies

(Darvitar)

The burning ash laid itself over him like a warm blanket. However, he was exhausted and did not seek the comfort of being buried alive, and worse it would become if the skeleton vultures could get a bite of him. He wondered if this might be the end of everything. The end of Harry Potter, the last of the Potters' line.

The vultures circled over him with their bony wings. He hadn't enough energy left to fight them. Closer they circled, you could hear the clattering sounds from their bones. He could see those hollow eyes feast upon him in their imagination. They were hungry, clearly very hungry.

Suddenly he heard voices behind the next hill. He didn't recognise them, but it didn't matter, someone was coming his way. Exhausted, yet managing to gain some last strength he crawled and yelled as high as he could, pleading that he heard them.

The voices grew higher and he could hear more than that. He heard soft footsteps and saw a bright light.

These were the Light Fairies, the opposites of their dark cousins. They were some of the nicest living creatures that existed and they were the rulers over the pleasant thoughts and dreams. But still they had no more powers than those, leaving them useless in a great battles. Because of that, they were always left behind the great allies, but it didn't bother them at all.

Normally they did not cross the dark deserts, but this pack of fairies were on their way home to their city, which was ruled by a great king, Meleanoes. Yet he might not be what you would call great, seeing his power had almost diminished while the darkness grew. But those things did not matter to fairies at all.

The Light Fairies soon saw the unconscious boy. Their friendly and curious nature was a good sign for him as they ran down the hill to hurry to his side. The fairy-folk weren't very tall, their average height had been only two feet and they saw Harry as a giant, but their knowledge of healing was one of the best in the world.

In only a matter of some minutes the small creatures circled around him, giving him water, care and medicine. Soon enough Harry was on his feet, feeling better than ever.

"Thanks" he said as the small fairies flew around him cheering him up.

"It's our pleasure," they said. "What did you really do out here giant, and all alone? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

"I got lost from my friends, they are two, uhm... three giants like me. Have you seen any? "

All of the fairies shook their heads. All of them, except a particularly tiny one.

"I think I saw three giants at our way down Mount Manovia. "

"What did they look like"?

"Well one was slightly tall, his hair looked as if it had caught fire. The other had longer curly hair, brown I think, a female. The last one was blonde and seemed to have an attitude problem."

"That's them. That's my friends. Where could I find that mountain? I have to go and help them!"

"We'll take you there, we don't want you to get lost in the desert again." the fairies chorused.

"Ok' "he said uneasily as dozens of fairies picked him up flying him towards the Great Mountain.

(Manovia)

"Draco, you stupid bastard. Stop ogling around like a mad hen."

"Like that should come from the mouth of the Mudblood," he responded angrily.

"Will you two quit that out" Ron yelled irritated, separating both, though he wouldn't mind giving Malfoy a lesson of his own. But right now, they had worse things to think about.

They had been wandering for eternity, without any knowledge on where to go. They were searching after Harry, who had managed to disappear and Draco had been the one with the most brilliant idea to climb up the mountain to get a better view. It was only that the way up was far more harsh than it had seemed standing in it's shadow.

"Was this really a such a good idea?" Hermione asked.

"Quit complaining Mudblood unless you have a better idea, spit it out or keep that filthy mouth of yours shut." Draco said.

"Fine!" she said. "Then I'll wait here and you will climb forward. When you come down you can tell me if you saw him or not."

"Hermione" Ron complained.

"You'll go on I'll stay."

"Ok Mudblood. Enjoy sitting here. We'll be back before you can say..."

"Just go, okay. "

"See yah." Ron said climbing up after Malfoy.

It grew late and she wondered were in the hell the two boys had gone. They were probably sitting at the top enjoying the view. What a couple of bastards. Suddenly she heard wings flustering. She looked up and saw a strange creature zooming at her. The creature looked familiar.

Coming closer she saw it was a human, carried by some foot high fairies.

Some hundred metres she saw that it was... Harry. But how? Why?

"Hi Hermione, missed me?"

"Harry" she shrieked hugging him. "Where have you been, we have been so worried?!"

"Tell you later. Where's Ron and Draco. "

"They climbed up the mountain to get a better view. We were really worried when you got lost."

"Well I'm back." He turned to the fairies that had helped him. "Could you just help me again by retrieving my friends from the top."

"Of course! Just a minute" they said and flew upwards. Soon enough they returned carrying the two boys.

"Let me go, you crazy monsters" Draco yelled as the fairies descended him to the ground.

"Harry" Ron said as the fairies dropped him onto the ground. "You're all right?!"

"I'm fine. "Looking upon his fluttering friends he asked. "Do you know, by any chance were we could find the realm of the Dark Fairies. "

The fairies suddenly clapped their small hands over their mouths. "Why do you want to find Darveelia?" one of them asked.

"I'm supposed to meet my friends there."

"Well, we'll show you, but beware. It's a dark place full of deadly creatures. Don't go! Don't go!"

"We must. The dark Fairies have said to join our side in the upcoming war. We have a meeting with them. We must go."

"I'll show you were it lies, said the tiny one of them. But be careful. Dark things will await you there."

Slowly the team climbed down, lead by the small fairy. The rest of the Light Fairies waved them goodbye.

(Darveelia, Six hours later)

"Finally" Hermione sighed.

"Yes, we made it" Ron cheered.

"I wonder where the others are?" Harry said.

"Probably way ahead. C'mon let's go."

They were about to make their first move inside when Draco said...

"There's something strange about it. You guys, I think that we are about to walk right inside a trap."

The other three turned their heads towards him. Uneasy to say anything.
