Chapter 9 – To Move and Begin

Harry and his group all apparated back to the Tower in Palanthas. By this time, the members that were in the High Clerist Tower made it back and everyone sat down to discuss what they were going to do. Harry sat there with his two swords and waited for the people to gather and get ready. Maritta was there along with Elistan to represent the former slaves. Gilthanas was there to represent the Elven nation of Qualinesti. Par-Salien was there to represent the Conclave of Magic.

"So what is going on Lord Potter?" asked Amelia. "I have not seen you this agitated in quite some time. I take it that the mission was a success as you are all sitting here and we are talking with some new people."

"Oh I was successful alright," said Harry. "It has come to my attention that this particular part of the world is not for us. There are too many bad things that can happen or is happening to us."

"What do you mean?" asked Minerva. "I thought we were doing quite well here and getting along fine. I was also under the impression that we were going to be moving to this High Clerist Tower and releasing this tower back to the wizards."

Harry sat there for a moment pondering how he was going to state his next sentences. Cedric, Severus, Hermione, and Tanis all nodded to him to show him that they were going to support him in his next endeavor. Harry nodded his head and began.

"We are going to leave this tower," he stated. "However, we are not going to totally abandon it. This tower will act as a place where the wizards of Krynn and our people can meet and discuss how magic works. We can call it a common ground. This way the wizards of this planet can have their other towers back and we won't intrude upon their territory as it were."

"That is most gracious of you," said Par-Salien. "We appreciate the gesture of good faith. We have discovered that we are unable to get to the Tower of Istar as it is underneath the Blood Sea. So this Tower would be perfect for such a place."

Harry nodded to the old wizard before he turned to Maritta and Elistan.

"I would like to divide the former slaves," he said. "Elistan can take the High Clerist Tower with half of the people. The other half can come and stay with us."

"Where are we going?" asked Griphook. "I have begun the excavation for vaults at the other tower."

"I am sorry about that," stated Harry. "I am sure that Elistan and his people can use those vaults as I am going to have Minerva transfigure the gold we got from Pax Tharkas into steel. Between her and Hermione, they can have the project done in a matter of days and then have it transported to the High Clerist Tower. Some of the people that will be living there can deal with it from there."

"So where are we going to move to?" asked Amelia. "Also, how are we going to be in two places at once? I don't mean to disregard your thoughts, but we just got set up here."

"I know Amelia," said Harry softly. "I deeply appreciate all of the hard work that you have done. However, I have found us a better place and I promise that once we get set up that we will never move again."

"Where is this place?" asked Narcissa. "Is it big enough to hold all of us or at least most of us? Also is it safe?"

"It is indeed VERY safe," answered Gilthanas for Harry. "Pax Tharkas was built by my ancestors as well as Flint's ancestors centuries ago. It is the largest Bastion of Power on the continent. It will easily house all of you comfortably."

"The only way to currently get into the place is either by apparition or by flying," stated Harry with a grin. "We have sealed the gates and only a couple of dragons or us using the Levitation Charm would be able to lift the defenses on the gates. The place is enormous. We just have to finish cleaning out all the trash is all."

"What trash?" Dora asked. "What are you referring to Harry?"

"There are gully dwarves all over the place as well as the remaining Draconians," said Harry. "Matafleur will be living in that area as well."

"Who is Matafleur?" asked Poppy. "Is this another pet that you have adopted?"

"Poppy," said Harry sharply. "That was out of line."

"Sorry Harry," she said sheepishly. "My words were crass and I apologize for them."

"Matafleur is an ancient red dragon," answered Tanis. "The former slaves actually befriended her. She and Harry started talking in the language of dragons and they came to an agreement. She gave Harry, Cedric, and Charlie a scale."

"Leave it to Harry to befriend another dragon," snickered Oliver. "By the time he is done, he will have befriended all of them."

"Oh Har, Har," said Harry with a grin. "I don't see you all complaining when they are not eating us."

"He does have a point," said Amelia fighting to not laugh. "As long as he is befriending them, then they are not attacking or attempting to make us into a meal."

"I for one am amazed that he can actually speak the language of dragons," remarked Par-Salien. "No human that walks Krynn is able to speak to a dragon in their native tongue. That is one impressive gift that you have there."

"Shall we get back to the matter at hand?" asked Augusta. "We still have to pack and move. If this place is as good as you all said it is we should get there before someone takes over the place in our absence."

"That is a good point," said Harry sobering the group up. "I suggest that Maritta and Elistan discuss this amongst their people and decide which group is going to go to which place. Oliver, Katie, Bill, and Charlie, I would like for the four of you to assist them with their move. They will need enough supplies to see them through the winter and into early spring or summer. You know that money is no option here. See to it that they have everything that they need. Elistan I would like a list of people that are coming with me by the end of the week."

Elistan and Maritta nodded their heads and rose to leave to talk with the former slaves. Harry looked to Hermione, Cedric, and Severus.

"The three of you will start taking people to Pax Tharkas using a side along apparition so that they can see where they are going," instructed Harry. "The rest of you will work with me in getting this Tower ready to move. Winky, I need you to take Griphook, Kreacher, and Dobby to Pax Tharkas and begin cleaning the rooms. If I need one of you for something I will call, but for the most part, I can handle things here on my own."

The female elf nodded her head and with a snap of her fingers the quartet left the Tower. Harry turned to the Elven Prince.

"I have no authority over you, but I think you should head back to your homeland and let your leaders know what is going on," said Harry. "We also need someone to work on getting word to the dwarves of Thorbardin that we need them for trade and such. We will need a rendezvous area to trade steel for supplies and such."

"I will leave at once," said Gilthanas. "If the Head of the Conclave would be so kind as to create a portal to Solace I would appreciate it. From there, we can send word to the dwarves about your request. I would imagine that before long, you will receive an envoy. Between us, maybe we can restore the glory that all three races had before the Kin Slayer wars."

Harry nodded his head as the old mage and young elf left together to deal with the situation.

"Harry," said Tanis. "Flint and I were talking. If you would take us to the area where we found you, we can go to the Hill Dwarves and get something set up with them as well. We will even take Tass with us so that he doesn't cause you trouble while you are trying to pack and such."

"That would be most appreciated," said Harry. "Draco and Seamus can take you there."

Draco nodded and the group all left. Narcissa stated she would see to it that Draco's stuff was packed before long as all of the Malfoy family headed out to get to work. Pomona got a team together to start getting many of the plants that they were going to take with them to Pax Tharkas to begin their greenhouse.

Meanwhile, Severus, Cedric, and Hermione were busy taking people one at a time to Pax Tharkas so that they could know where they were going. When Severus brought a few people there, he left them to assist in showing the others while he went up to the top of the Tower to pack up the Potions lab. Harry personally went to Pax Tharkas to get things started. Before he let, he approached the Creevey brothers.

"Hurry and go get packed," he told them. "Grab Luna and Cho on the way as we are going to be the party to welcome people to Pax Tharkas."

Collin nodded as he and Dennis rushed to do as they were asked. Harry called Dobby and had him start packing his and Cedric's belongings. When Luna, Dennis, Collin, and Cho were ready, Harry created a portkey and took the group to the new place. Upon arrival, Harry and the group started working on clearing out the few draconians that were stupid enough to come into view of the quintet. They entered the building to be met by a grinning Griphook.

"This place is better than the other one," he stated. "Some of these lower levels can be used as vaults for everyone. Also, there are store rooms down here for food and stuff that we can use. This place is great."

Harry laughed at the enthusiasm of the goblin.

"You know Harry," said Luna lifting a small purse. "For every draconian that we kill, we increase our steel. Before long we can take parties out and find them and destroy them."

"I would like to attempt to get some of them to join us as allies," said Harry thoughtfully. "It would make things a whole lot easier if we had allies rather than wiping out an entire race of beings."

"Ever the peace maker Harry," stated Minerva coming up. "Winky has informed me that she has your rooms ready. Dobby sent over yours and Cedric's belongings and she is busy putting them away. Some of the others are starting to arrive as well. Elistan needs you back at the other place for a bit. I think they have a list already of who is going where."

"I will be back later," said Harry with a smile.

Turning on the spot, he apparated back to the Tower and sat with the new Cleric of Paladine. When it was all said and done, two hundred and fifty people were going back with Harry while the rest went with Elistan. An agreement was made that people like Goldmoon and Cedric would go back and forth to teach the others what they learned about the gods from communing with their patron.

"How does he do it all?" Caramon asked Narcissa. "I mean Harry is younger than we are and he just goes on and handles everything like it is easy for him. How does he do it?"

"Harry is a very special person," said Narcissa after a moment of thought. "Back on our world, he had the two most powerful wizards after his life and he never once complained."

"Why were they after him?" asked Justarius while he assisted with the packing of the books. "Why pick a child and mark him the way they did?"

"I will start with the first one," said Narcissa sitting down with the trio that was assisting her. "Albus Dumbledore is a master manipulator. He uses people for his own gains and is well versed in doing things that make him look like the good guy when in all reality he is the one that is causing most of the death and destruction."

Harry nodded his head when he heard Narcissa explaining things to the group of people. At least someone was on his side that would tell the truth instead of embellishing fabrications about how his life was and such. The group was soon joined by LaDonna and Par-Salien as they wished to hear the tale of the extraordinary young man that was now, the Cleric of Paladine, and had more power in his little finger, than all three Heads of the Orders combined.

"Before Harry was born," said Narcissa. "A prophecy was made. It stated that the one born as the seventh month dies will be the one to kill the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord would mark the child as his equal and the child would have powers that the Dark Lord didn't. What was not known was that the prophecy was a fake. Not only did the Dark Lord end up killing Harry's parents but he tried to kill Harry as well. He only heard part of the prophecy. Therefore, he attacked before he knew what he was getting into. Now we know that Dumbledore set the whole thing in motion when it had nothing to do with Harry or the Dark Lord. It ended up making Harry and the Dark Lord enemies for something that Dumbledore wanted done."

"That is so wrong to do that to people in the way that they are doing it on your planet," stated Caramon angrily. "You shouldn't treat people like they are nothing more than pawns. It is against humanity to do such a thing."

"Wise words from you my brother," said Raistlin. "It just so happens that I agree with you. Young Harry has burdens placed on him that aren't even his. Your world sounds backwards in all of this."

"There are many things that have happened to young Harry that should never have happened," said Narcissa continuing her story while pulling out a certain book. "At Hogwarts we teach the children for seven years. In that time they learn everything from changing something into something else to making things hover and even fly. In Harry's first year, he battled a full grown mountain troll and beat it to save Hermione."

"Trolls are powerful on this planet," said LaDonna. "How are the trolls in your world?"

In response, Narcissa opened the book and showed the group before her a picture of the troll in question. When they all looked, they all had a new respect for Harry.

"That is larger than the ones we have on this planet," said Justarius. "This thing looks to be about twelve feet tall or better."

"It is," assured Narcissa. "He also had to get through many traps and such to rescue the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort. It almost cost him his life. The protection his mother gave him when she died actually saved his life once more from the megalomaniac that has been trying to kill him since he was a baby."

"That is horrible," said LaDonna. "We may have different views on how we act and do magic, but to all of us, children are sacred, and should be taken care of in all ways."

"There we have something in common," assured Narcissa opening the book to another picture. "In Harry's second year he battled and killed this monster. He got bit in the process and nearly died. Had it not been for the phoenix that flies around here, he would not have survived the event. He beat Voldemort for the second time that year and saved the Weasley girl."

"How big was the serpent that he fought?" asked an astonished Raistlin. "We have these on this planet, but this one seems so much larger than the ones we have."

"My sources tell me the serpent was sixty feet in length," said Narcissa. "There is only one cure for the poison from a basilisk on our planet. Phoenix tears are the only antidote."

The tower mages all sat there with awe on their faces. Narcissa opened the book to a new page and showed them the picture of a Dementor.

"These creatures are called Dementors," she said. "They suck all the happiness out of a person. They are creatures of the darkest of souls. They can kill you by removing your soul. There is only one way to defend against these creatures. It is called the Patronus Charm. Harry's Patronus is a stag. They can be used to stop Dementors, Leithifolds, and send messages and such. Harry fought off one hundred of these to save his godfather at the age of thirteen."

"Harry has not had the most pleasant of life has he?" asked Par Salien. "It is no wonder he is so defensive of you all. He is especially defensive of Miss Lovegood, Mr. Longbottom, Miss Granger, and even more so of Mr. Diggory. He cares about each and every one of you."

"Harry does that for everyone," said Draco coming in and sitting down with his mother. "He is always willing to forgive and forget. If you attempt to hurt someone he cares about he will go after you with everything he has and with little regard to his own personal safety. He loves with everything that he has."

The others all nodded in agreement.

"Mother, I sent word to some of the others to have their house elves go to Pax Tharkas to help with the clean up after they finish packing for their families. It isn't fair that Harry's three elves are doing all of the work for everyone. They aren't complaining, but it is only fair if everyone donates the time of their elves. We are after all, working together as a cohesive unit. I have already sent ours to Pax Tharkas with our belongings and Lady Longbottom is sending her elves here to assist with the packing of the library."

"Good thinking Draco," said Narcissa. "Thank you for thinking about that. To be honest it hadn't really crossed my mind."

"So tell us some more about Harry," encouraged Goldmoon. "I have been listening to the story as I have been working and I agree that he has had such a hard life."

"Well," said Narcissa looking around at the growing crowd. "During Harry's fourth year, there was an event at the school where the three leading schools on the continent would get together and choose a champion. Each school had one champion and the champion was put through a series of tests. It was Harry's unfortunate luck to have one of Voldemort's minions fool the ancient goblet and place Harry's name in the cup thus making him a champion of a fourth school. He was never supposed to compete, as it was designed that, only those that were of age, meaning seventeen, could compete. Harry was forced to compete at fourteen years of age."

"What were the tests?" asked Riverwind frowning. "It doesn't seem fair that he had to compete. I am sure he didn't put his name in or ask someone. He doesn't seem like the type to do something like that."

"He isn't," said Draco picking up the tale. "He had to go against a nesting dragon mother and remove a fake egg from the nest. Dragons on our planet are nowhere near as intelligent as the dragons on this planet. She was determined to kill him. He made it through and got the golden egg by sheer luck and little damage to him. From there, he had to swim to the bottom of the lake to fight some of our aquatic species and rescue his former friend Ronald Weasley from the merpeople that were guarding him. Then if you will, the third task where he faced a sphinx, and acromantula, and other horrors to get to the center of the maze to get the cup. Thankfully, Harry and Cedric were working together as a team rather than opponents. They were able to get to the cup only to find out it was a portkey to a graveyard."

"Oh blessed Mishakal," said Goldmoon in horror. "What happened next?"

"Well," said Harry coming out from behind the shelf he was working on. "We were taken to a graveyard where my blood was used in a rebirthing ritual to bring Voldemort back to his body. From there, they almost killed Cedric. As you know, I am very protective of my mate. When they threatened him, I kind of lost it and started attacking the attackers. It was fairly simple for Cedric to have my back. He just summoned the cup and we were returned to Hogwarts. It was very close."

"In fifth year, we had Dolores Umbridge," said Draco picking up the tale again. "She was a Ministry worker that would not allow us to practice the Defensive Spells in her class. She was using a Blood Quill on Harry the entire year."

"What is a Blood Quill?" asked Raistlin. "It doesn't sound pleasant."

"It isn't," said Harry showing them his hand. "It is a device that when the writer uses it, they don't use ink. They use their own blood. It carves the words into your flesh as you use it. It was her favorite form of punishment."

"Later that year, Harry had to go to the Ministry of Magic," said Narcissa sadly. "From there, my husband and sister and a few people attacked them. Six teenagers took on more than a dozen of Voldemort's top minions and won."

"We found out right before we got here that the Dark Lord was never after me except for that one night when I was a baby," said Harry. "Dumbledore kept putting me in the way and the Dark Lord was always where Dumbledore placed me."

"Thus making the two of you fight when neither wanted it," concluded LaDonna. "Harry, just know that you can always count of us to help you all out. Now that we know why you are the way that you are, we can better understand why you react the way that you do. We Tower mages may disagree with the outlook in life, but we are all united in the study of magic and its ways."

"She speaks for all of us," said Par Salien while Justarius nodded. "We will do our part to assist where we can and such. We owe you a debt of gratitude anyway for assisting us with the rebuilding of the other two towers as well as restoring this one to its former glory."

"Shall we get back to packing?" asked Narcissa standing up. "We are almost done here and now that more members are sending their house elves to assist us, we can get things done faster."

"Many of the house elves are bringing the people we saved back to Pax Tharkas," said Cedric coming in. "Those people are mostly farmers and such. Therefore, they are willing to assist us with growing things in exchange for protection. Many want to return to their hometowns long enough to see if there is anything that is salvageable. From there, they will start working on building homes in the surrounding areas so that they can start getting fields and such planted."

"We can always barter for this year," said Harry. "Food for three hundred people will not be that costly. Hopefully Tanis and Flint will get us a trade route set up with the Hill Dwarves and somehow we can set up trade with the Mountain Dwarves. Gilthanas will assist in getting a trade route set up with Qualinesti."

"We will all be fine," assured Narcissa. "I am looking forward to getting things set up in Pax Tharkas. Since I have been to visit the place, I am looking forward to getting things set up. It is huge and we can get so much set up and started without us having to spread around and away from each other."

"It is plenty big enough for us to set up a Ministry as well as homes, school, and greenhouse and such," said Harry with a happy grin. "We will be up and running in no time. We may have to drill a hole in the wall and create a gate for people to be able to come and go easier. That way we don't have to remove the blockage on the original gate thus allowing more troops from the opposing armies to get into our new home."

Chatting with one another, all members of Harry' somewhat significant family moved around the tower packing their stuff. Winky packed up Severus' rooms for him as he was busy setting up the potions lab in Pax Tharkas. It was not more than a week later when the groups all set together in the new meeting hall at Pax Tharkas to start their conversations as to what they were going to do from there.

AUTHOR'S NOTE – I am going to stop this chapter right here as I want to begin in the new place with the new adventure. Don't forget that they troops of the Dark Queen are still in this region of the world. It is up to Harry and company to eradicate them and make them either run or surrender.
