Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter
Once again, this chapter is dedicated to The Lovely Kaykai-sama. She is awesome!
There is a world with no name. Space of void. Nothing, there is and was nothing. It is a thread, a filter. It is not something that can be seen, for in this place there is nothing to be seen. No sight. No, not here. Here, there is only Feel. There are air currents, winds. And there is something else, something important; so very very important. There...Emotions.
Fear
the winds of fear, gentle in constant soft wind-barely there, empty...but! There... bursts of stronger currents coming from random directions, sharp-cold, piercing ice.
Loss
a single current, twisting and turning in all directions around a center point, mote point-the conscious. A void, nothing, indecision.
A missing piece. There is something missing. Something important is being taken away. Something warm. A pleasant feeling. Warm airy solid dept of euphoria.
Happiness
Something is stealing happiness.
"Anna! Anna, wake up! Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Henri cried. He shook her stilled form with all his might. Hot streams of tears fell from his eyes matching hers. His face crunched with tensions as he cry while hers remain stoic, voided of any emotion, any tension. Her eyes unseeing, staring at nothing of reality but something no one else can see.
Henri small hands gripped tightly on the fabric of her blouse. His head rested on her chest. Heart retching sobs muffled as he cry, his face buried in her bosom. But no, it was not to be. Something was blocking natural contact. Something hard, something solid. His eyes snapped open and he search. His eyes scanned her covered torso but he see nothing. His small hand move, searching. There as a glitch of something simmering holographic. The object, a medallion. His hands were phasing through. He tried again and again with the same result. That pendant, he glare with slitted eyes at the glimmering surface of the bi-color jewel. He tried once more, this time he unconsciously gloved his hands with his own magic. The magic that he and Anna shared. Cold, smooth, solid surface register through the sensory in his hand. He made a triumphant noise as his grip tighten on the object. There were pulses. Power emitted thickly from the jewel.
Henri looked up, his eyes searching Anna's face. He sat up, his bottom rested on her abdomen. Briefly, he wondered why Elessar have not shown up. His free hand moved and cupped her cheek. The one holding the jewel gripped tight.
"Anna, wake up. Please, Anna. Henri needs you" he whispered. His voice, its depth, was lost from his earlier abuse. A plea, a single tear drop fell on the glimmering surface of the magical jewel. One last pulse and all was still. His ears picked up a full wind of exhale from Trianna's lips and his eyes snapped open just in time to she her chest rested back on the mattress. He watched, his eyes unblinking as her eyelids fluttered until she sigh once more.
"Anna?"
Twin pairs of emerald irises locked. Trianna gave her other self a tired smile.
"Haanee..." she breathed. Henri could tell that she want to say something but at the same time she was not sure of what. Her eyes closed once more and she gave into another tired sigh. Her brows furrowed slightly. He watched in silent with great worry. His hands griping tightly at the pendant and pulled it to his chest.
The pull of medal from the back of her neck caused Trianna eyes to snapped open and she quickly sighted her pendant in Henri's hands. 'How?' her heart beat erratically in abrupt panic. She searched his eyes, reflecting the same green that she too had. She forced her mind, her thoughts, to freeze. Twilight darkness conquer over the light of day. 'We are the same' Her forearm cover eyes as she closed them. Her teeth clenched as she held back another sigh.
"Do you want to know what you're holding, Haanee?"
She felt him nodded. "uhm"
"That locket was my first present from mum and dad, Haanee. I'm not sure how I know this but I just do. Also, its the only reasonable explanation. Why else would everybody think I'm a boy." She chuckled.
"Henri is a boy!" he said cheerfully. Trianna uncovered her eyes and looked at him. She saw him smile brightly and mirrored it.
"Yes he is. He is a very cute little boy" she opened her arms wide and beckon him to come. He eagerly oblige and nearly jumped into her embrace. The two wiggled for a short moment to get into a comfortable position.
"Do you remember mum and dad?" Henri asked.
"Not really" she told him dejectedly.
"Oh, me neither"
A silent
"So what is this for?" he motion for the jewel by yanking the chain lightly.
"It cast illusions and other things"
"What's illusion?"
"Uhm...its like. You know what fog is right?"
"uh uh, its that white cloudy thing that you see in the morning when its still kinda dark outside" he nodded.
"Yeah, that. Okay, illusion is like a fog but its not white. Its like playing a movie but its a movie that someone made up. So what you see is not real, but you think it is because that is what you see."
"Oh... that's so cool. Wait, its like a playing a movie on the tele right?"
"yeah, with the sounds and everything."
"What else does it do?"
"It also show the truth, or what could be. The future"
"Future? Like thing that not happen yet? Like tomorrow or next year?"
"Yeah, that what happened just a while ago"
"Really? It was scary. I was really scared."
"I'm sorry. I should have told you."
he only shake his head and buried his face onto her chest. Trianna lazily drew small circles on his back. She closed her eyes and let out a sigh. A wave of contentment sweep her whole body. She rested.
"so, did you name it?"
There was no need for her to ask what he was referring to.
"uhm; the name, Haanee, is The Locket of Truth and Illusion"
"Who are you and why have you been stealing my Master's mails?"
Cold sharp medal hover millimeter from his skin caused the small creature to freeze. Its eyes closed reflexively, heart pounding loudly in its ears. The hands that held the stack of enveloped parchments slacken and the contents spilled on the polished wood floor. Throat dry but its dared not gulp even if it was instinctive.
Elessar orbited half way and stood in front of the creature. Cold impassive eyes study the creature. He felt a slight spark of sympathy but it was quickly over ruled by anger. 'My mistress's secret must not be reveal' The hold on the handle of his sword tighten.
"Speak and answer, intruder!"
The creature shivered at the tone and shake in fright. "...I...I...Dobby" he dared took a peek and froze. His baseball size eyes widen, impossibly so. Before him stood a High Elf. Not just any high elf but a noble. Long sharp ears stood tall and mighty on either sides of his head.
"m..my lord" Dobby fainted.
Tiny drop of sweat rolled down the back of his head. 'Really? How manly is that?'
He shook his head in exasperation. A snap of his fingers had Dobby's unconscious body bounded and sat against the wall. He murmured a spell in elven language to negate the house elf magic use in this room. His finger traced runes in the air. Four runes soar across room radiated to four walls, two more remain. One flew to the ceiling and one enter the floor. Another snap of his fingers and the house elf gasped; awoken he was.
Dobby's head snapped up but was quickly lowered, facing the floor.
"My lord...Dobby is confuse, that he is. How is you here? He is very confuse. Dobby is," he spoke fast and repetitively.
"Stop!"
Dobby was quickly silent as the wave of authoritative magic, thick and demanding blasted into him. Fear squeezed his heart. His small body shaken in fright. A small whimper unwillingly escaped from his throat.
Elessar held back a sigh. "Tell this one why you are here"
"...D..Dobby is wanting to warn...Mister Harry Potter, taurn edhel" he whispered the words 'my lord' I elven. So much awe was laced in his voice. There was also submission, but awe dominated.
"Why did you steal Harry Potter's mails?" he spoke stoically. His heart was elated by the recognition of his title.
"There is great danger in Hogwarts. Dobby's master make danger"
"Your creating a reason for Harry Potter to not return"
"Dobby is!" he said excitedly.
"It is not your decision to make. Harry Potter has protection"
"Dobby not knowing. Dobby only want Mister Harry Potter safe!"
"What is the danger that Harry Potter will face if he were to return?" Elessar asked as he sat himself thrown-like armchair with upholster red velvet cushions. "You may stand, Dobby"
Dobby stood on shaky legs. His lips trembled. "Dobby can't say. Master commanded"
Elessar did not reply. Dobby grew nervous. Greasy moisture dampened his skins. A seed of fear spouted in the pit of his stomach making him feel wheezy.
"Dobby, name all of the wizard Pureblood over the human age of 27 summers with an association with the Voldemort that is not your master." Elessar commanded. His eyes alighted with mischief and cunning glints.
Dobby gasped. His heart beating erratically. Elation, he was glad that he was not in trouble. Awe, this newly ascended Elven High Lord was cunning, brilliant. Hope, there is hope for the the Elven race yet.
His mind returned to reality as his name was denounced in an impatient tone. It was very slight but he caught it. Dobby quickly listed all the names that was not of his master based on the command. The list was long but he had no complaints. The list waning name by name until he stopped. He bit his lips, suppressed elation.
Elessar smirked. His eyes alighted in satisfaction. "Your master..." he paused as to built suspense.
Dobby was no rolling on the back of the hill of his feet. Hug pig-like ears flapping. He dared took a peek at the lower half of the High Elf's face. An alluring smirk adorned flawless skin.
"Lucius Malfoy"
Albus Dumbledore was not having a very good day. His day started out with the destruction of all of the ancient instruments in his office that was connected somehow to the one known as Harry Potter. Trashed was what his office had become. It was not even the worst thing. His connection to the wards that was also connected to Harry Potter's magic as brutally destroyed. How? He was unsure. The pain was all he could think about the whole day. Searing pain. His old bones and weaken body had lost its youthful source of abundant power without preamble.
Pain, excruciating pain coursed through his body. A just punishment. Cruciatus Curse had nothing on this. The stolen magic wants it freedom to return to its owner. Escape was the only way, to break free. Like rats breaking free using their claws and teeth, digging into flesh. There was no stopping until they were free. On this night, zero hour of time between July and August the moon, full and bright shined down and give power. A boost, a great enormous boost because just a midnight hit a lunar eclipse occurred. The power of the sun and the moon combined. The ancient pendant of Truth and Illusion was so much more. Empowered, by the earths strongest source of energies, Lunar and Solar.
Across Great Britain a brilliant light shoot across the night sky. Potter Manor, British Isle - Unplotable. Trianna and Henri laid peacefully asleep on the grand California King bed. Trianna had her arms wrapped securely around Henri's small form. Henri rested comfortably on her chest, his small hands loosely held on to the enchanted pendant that was glowing exponentially in the dark room. A brilliant light of thick condensed energy zoomed into the room from the open balcony glass french doors and struck the the two of them. A huge explosion ignited and the room only survive because of ancients runes of protection activated.
The two abruptly awoken. Their mouths opened to possibly scream but no sound escaped them. The thick condense power overwhelm them and they could do nothing but surrender control. There was no real fear. Surprise and apprehension would be a better choice of description. The euphoria was warm and inviting. The changes of their body was most noticeable in little Henri. His small body was growing at an extremely fast rate. It only stopped when he could pass for Trianna's twin brother. The sight seemed to be too much for her and she fainted. Henri soon follow.
The thick magic lessen little by little as the changes came to an end. There were not much physical changes done to Trianna. The durability of her body increased exponentially. As the two sleep on, the power began to slowly settle into their bodies. There was also a wild concentration of the more lethal, avenging source of power that was condensing and sharpening just above their infamous lightning shaped scars. To kill and cleanse was the objective. There was something foreign and unwelcome within those scars. Sharp, cold, harsh and unmerciful the power stroked. Empowered by the climax of the Lunar eclipse, the power pulsed and roared without sound. Strong currents of winds picked up around the room. Maelstrom of raw, unfiltered power. Little resistance there was, but the power stood in victory come the end. Two fiend shaped shadows emerged from the twins scars. It screamed, the sound would cause any creature to shiver. The agonizing scream of a fiend, doubled.
A stroke of satisfaction hummed. The power had fought and conquered. Now it will take the thrown. Dazzling shimmering pigments of lights shaped of the Milky Way connected and ventured into the newly cleansed scar. There was a moment paused just before the near end. A strand of excess power pulsed and weaved around their head and took solid form. Two beautiful circlets adorned their foreheads. One of the moon and one of the sun. The two elegant pieces of jewelery glimmered and hummed with power before it gave a strong pulsate and disappear from view. In their place were almost unnoticeable diamond dusted tattoo designs that mirrored them. There was no color to distinct them, only the soft shimmering of dusted diamond.
A silent night. The eventful happening was gone. Silent again took command, lording the night's empire. Slowly, the sound of the night return. The earth was saturated with renewed power. Energy of the of the two serenely sleeping Potters blessed their ancestral lands. Vegetation underwent early springtime glory. Antiques of old renewed and every creatures expressed their joy in wild activities. The night was no longer silent.
In the master bedroom, two being that once shared a soul sleep on and were arrogant to the world around them. They were entwined together. Trianna had her head rested on Henri's chest. Their position have turned. That was how Elessar found them when he finally gained entrance into the room.
"Things have just gotten much more complicated"
Dumbledore's day did not get any better as time went on. The pain lessen but did not retrieve. Potions and spells did not do him any good. He forced his body to move and continue on the day, not willing to show any kind of weakness. He headed out to find the reason for his state of being. He headed for number 4 Privet Drive.
"Petunia, my girl. May I come in?" The door was slammed in his face.
His present was not welcoming. He had to force his entrance. He was shown hostility and he had to manually force his hand to get what he wanted. The information he received was less then pleasing. Harry Potter did not return. He had to take the harsh demeaning words from the two fowl mouth Dursleys. The only satisfaction he received was the confirmation that his will was carried out. The treatment of Harry Potter was as he wanted, negligent and abusive. His weapon was assured. He exited the small house with great annoyance. He had to tract down his runaway weapon.
August 1, 1992
Things have just gotten so much more complicated. I woke up this morning to find a recently just turned 5 years old Haanee turn into my possible twin brother. That part is pretty awesome actually. The bad thing is that he still very much have the mindset of a 5 years old. He does not know who to take care of himself. Its not that I do not want to help him; its just really weird to have to help a twelve years old bath and put on clothing. He have been doing very well in his scholastic education so no worry there. Elessar have been a big help. I still cannot get over the fact that he is the way he is now. I wont lie and will admit that I do have a small crush on him. How could I not? I have always fantasize about Elves and lets face it, I have a soft spot for blonds.
I can't seem to stop staring at this new Haanee. Its like looking in a mirror all the time. Sure there are subtle differences like his features are a bit sharper than mind and he is definitely male. A few more things that differentiate us are really small things. I guess that I'm staring because i'm trying to look for them. Hey, he's doing the same thing so...
Elessar inform me of a visit from a house elf that belonged to Draco's father. Apparently, the man is out to get me. There will be danger at Hogwarts this year. Um, that's not anything new. I mean really, I had to fight my own defense teacher just before summer break. The elf name was Dobby and I was informed that he wanted to meet me. I had no problem with it, but I caught the almost displeased look in Elessar's eyes before he quickly covered it with his charming smile. Oh, now I'm thinking of his smile. Oh how that heart greed.
I miss Draco. I wonder what he is up to. I hesitate to ask if he know of his father's scheme. I hope not. It would make things so complicated. Goodness! I wonder what would happen when Elessar and him meet. It would be interesting to watch but I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I'm kind of scared. I can almost see the electrifying glares now. Brrr, did it get cold in here or what?
"Anna, will you sing for me?" Henri soft voiced caressed her heart and gently tugged her attention. Trianna felt his lean, warm arms wrapped around her middle as his warm body snuggled on her side. She stopped her writing and placed the journal and fountain pen on the night stand. She weaved her fingers through his soft mass of hair and settled herself comfortably as she leaned back further on the pillowed headboard.
"Of course, Haanee."
Alright, that's it for now. If you guys want to see something happen in this fic then write a review and tell me. I'm alway open for anything really.
Kaykai, sorry for not having Draco and Elessar interact yet. it will most likely be in the next chapter.
