"Hello Polaris, I did not expect to see you here. I thought you would have been on the train with your friends."
"I think that makes two of us. It is good to see you made it safely into my realm Time."
"I agree, realm jumping is not a topic to be taken lightly."
"You have to get on the train, it would look suspicious if you did not."
"I agree, let's go" She says and we board the train and sit in the same compartment as Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Lily, who's this?" Ron says, confused.
"I do not answer to humans" Time sneers.
"Time, he didn't know." I say, trying to calm the mad element down.
"Time, it is an honor." Hermione says, bowing her head
"See? Even she knows how to address an element." Time says.
"Wait, what?" Harry asks
"Why else would I have talked to a stranger and brought her into our compartment?" I ask
"Very funny Polaris" Time says. It is obvious she is not at all amused.
"Oh, you think I'm joking. Yeah, joking"
"You're serious?"
"No? I'm Lily Polaris, how much does James talk about his friend?"
"Too much"
"I can see that, just wait until Sirius dies, that will be so much fun and I feel sorry for you."
"I can wait."
"I would assume so."
"I don't think you are ready for that day."
"I- I'm not."
"Do you want to go somewhere where people can't hear firsthand? Knowing Light and Water,"
"Sure, umm, let's go?"
"Cmon" She says, walking out. I follow her and we walk to an empty compartment at the very back of the train.
"Sirius Orion Black, Harry Potter's godfather, auror, what's he to you?"
"My uncle"
"But not by blood."
"No, but in every other way possible."
"You love him."
"Like family"
"Does he still, transform?"
"No, not since James and Lily"
"What does he do during full moons?"
"Godric's Hollow"
"Once a month?"
"Yes."
"Well, no wonder he doesn't transform."
"Can you see the future Time?"
"Yes. Soon you will too"
"When?"
"Before you graduate"
"Who kills him?"
"A family member"
"No, I meant Voldemort"
"You'll see"
"Give me the date, at least"
"May 2nd, 1998, the battle begins."
"But, I'll still be in Hogwarts?"
"And? You will figure it out, you are smart enough."
"What if I mess everything up?"
"You won't"
"Thanks, I'm glad you told me about that battle,"
"You're welcome, but we should probably get back, your friends are getting worried" Time says and we walk back to our compartment.
"Anything off the trolley dearies?" The sweets witch asks us, we shake our heads no and sit down in our compartment.
The train pulls into King's Cross station and I see a bunch of people waiting for us.
"Flame! Mum! Dad! Sirius! What are you doing here?" I ask, hugging them as I get off the train
"Waiting for you lot. Good to see ya kiddo" Sirius says, messing with my hair.
"Hi mum, hi dad" James says.
"Hello Mr and Mrs Lupin." Harry says
"What am I? Chopped liver?" Sirius asks
"Yes" James and I say together.
"Well, I never liked you anyway" Sirius says, pretending to cry.
"Well, you guys get back to school, Lily, we need to get Hermione" Mum says
"For Galene and I?"
"Exactly" she said, walking out of the barrier and onto the muggle platform where I recognized Hermione immediately.
"HERMIONE!" I yell, running over to her, "We need you to train this Summer, Galene and I have to teach you."
"No. I'm spending time with my family this Summer and you can't stop me"
"Hermione that's not how this works and you know that, you have to be able to control your powers before school starts up"
"Excuse me, who are you exactly?" A woman asks me, I assume it's Hermione's mum.
"Hermione is an Elemental, she has to be taught how to control her powers before she can go back to school." Mum explains.
"And if she does not?" Hermione's dad challenges.
"The consequences would be most severe, the elements do not like to be disobeyed" Mum warns.
"Where will she be staying?" Hermione's Dad asks.
"Come on, I'll show you" Mum says, walking towards the fireplace with Mrs. Granger, "Elements Academy of Magic" She says and they disappear. Hermione and her dad do the same before I follow them.
"Where are we?" Mrs. Granger asks.
"Elements Academy of Magic, Roan! Winter! Flame!" Mum yells, the werewolf, vampire and centaur walk up to her.
"Kriss, why did you bring muggles into the school?" Flame asks.
"Because they're Hermione's parents and I doubted they would have let her come without seeing the place first"
"What? How? Where?" Mr. Granger stutters
"School, floo, somewhere in a forest"
"We didn't introduce ourselves, I am Roan, a centaur, I control Light and Air." Roan says.
"I'm Winter, a vampire, I control Animals and Darkness"
"I'm Flame, a werewolf, I control Fire and Space"
"Now you're wondering who I am? I figured. I am Kristine Lupin, a werewolf, a teacher, a elemental, a Hogwarts graduate, a member of the Order of the Phoenix." Mum says
"I'm Lily Polaris Lupin, her daughter, a fellow werewolf. Hey! Everyone! Get over here!" I yell, nobody listens. "Mum, would you do the honors?"
"Everyone! Come here please" Mum says, everyone walks over, "Please separate by elements" She says, everyone obeys, including me, Harry and James.
"Polaris, who are they?" My friend Jess asks
"Muggles"
"No way, how'd they get here?"
"They're the parents of the human who woke the most powerful elements."
"Life and Death are awake?"
"Yes, someone could get Death, imagine what could happen."
"Will happen. I think someone could already have it."
"Moldy?"
"Moldy."
"That would mean, he knows about everything- the school, the island, the- oh my goodness, he has Darkness and Death."
"Of course he has the two that could easily be used for evil."
"Exactly."
"Who's the girl over in the Time area, nobody has that power."
"That is Time"
"No. Way."
"Yes, and I should probably join her"
"No. You're a Realm Guardian?"
"Yes, now be quiet or mum will re-do her entire lecture"
"We have a guest here, I assume you have all noticed someone in the Time area, where there typically is no one. Please come up here and introduce yourself," Mum says. Time walks up,
"Hello, I am Time, yes that Time, I am an Element, I came into your realm because a guardian has realised their powers."
"You're not an Element!" A boy yells, I glare at him and walk up to stand next to my mentor. "What are you doing Lily? You're just a stupid werewolf that doesn't even go to the right school!" He yells when I get up there.
"So, Time, what's the spell to send someone to a different realm?" I ask, the boy clearly getting on my nerves.
"Personally, I would love to watch fire deal with him." Time says, loud enough for everyone to hear. "It's too bad that only you and elements can realm jump."
"I agree, that would be hilarious"
"Then how do we get into the darkness for meetings?" The boy asks
"When was the last time you went to a meeting Micah?" Time says sharply
"N..never"
"Exactly, so as I was saying, Lily Polaris Lupin is a realm guardian. I wouldn't test her. Just warning you, she killed a teacher"
"Did not! Besides he was taking orders from Voldemort."
"Quirrell?" Mum asks, I nod. "I should have known something was wrong with that teacher"
"DADA is cursed at Hogwarts,"
"It is, has been for about fifty years"
"No."
"Yes, since Tom Riddle was a student there"
"No. Way."
"So, how did you kill your Professor?"
"Can we talk about this somewhere else?"
"Get back to your classes or Filch will have plenty of helpers!" Mum yells, everyone walks away.
"Filch?"
"Yep. I'll bet he would be happy for a night off"
"Moving on," I say, walking up to the office.
"What happened? How did he die?"
"Well, Harry was in trouble, I could tell that, I followed Water through the passages and saw Harry talking to Quirrell, he crucio-ed me, and I asked him to kill me, I knew it would get his attention away from Harry, and Harry punches him, he fell to the ground, Earth started to beat him with a tree branch."
"So, death by tree branch?"
"Death by mad element"
"You're grounded for the entire summer."
"Are you joking?"
"No, you could have been killed!"
"I was ready for the spell, I had ten different ways to deflect it, I knew what was coming and then it didn't, I did keep Harry alive didn't I?"
"Why do you make everything about me? You saved the stone, not me" Harry says,
"No, I didn't, sure, I distracted him, but I never touched the stone. That was all you"
"But-"
"Harry, you know I'm right, mum, someone's here"
"I know," Mum says,
"Can I?"
"Be my guest, if it's anyone you know, tell them to go away and you're grounded."
"Okay" I sigh, I walk over to the fireplace where a girl was standing, I recognised her immediately, "Tonks! What happened?" I ask,
"They killed mum and dad." She mutters,
"Who?"
"Lucius Malfoy."
"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" I ask looking at her, scared.
"Cruciatus."
"Shoot, give me a minute" I say, disappearing into the fireplace. "ALICE! I need some help at school!" I yell, she and Neville walk up.
"What's wrong?"
"Cruciatus curse, I can't tell the damage."
"So you called… me."
"Well, yes."
"Fair enough, let's go" She says, following me into the fireplace.
"Tonks, are you okay?" I ask as Alice and Neville appear. "Neville, can you get Sirius please, I have a feeling he could do some good for his cousin."
"Why are you bossing me around?"
"Fine, I'll do it myself, by the way, I asked politely." I say, running to where I would find Sirius.
"What's wrong pup? You never run that fast" Sirius asks me,
"Dora is here, Andromeda and Ted just died."
"No. Why? How?"
"All I know is that Lucius killed her and Tonks got multiple rounds of crucio"
"Okay, where is she?"
"Come on," I say, turning around. We jog back to where they were sitting.
"Tonks!" Sirius yells, "What happened?"
"L-Lucius Malfoy killed mum and dad"
"Did he say anything?"
"Filthy halfbloods, traitorous scum, the Dark Lord is returning."
"Did you see his left arm?"
"It was black, I dunno I couldn't see it that well"
"No, but that means-"
"Peter knew" I say, looking at Sirius
"Bellatrix knows."
"Brace yourselves people, there are going to be Azkaban breakouts all over the place" I say, pretending to be less scared than I really am.
"You have to tell the Weasleys, Andy wasn't the only pureblood traitor."
"No, they can fend for themselves, I'm needed here."
"Send them a letter at least"
"Fine" I say, Sirius flicks his wand and a quill and parchment appears.
HE'S BACK
Be careful, Andromeda and Ted Tonks died,
Lucius Malfoy
Dora's fine,
I can't say more
-North Star
I sign as North Star, hoping they can piece it together, I give it to a tree and the letter is carried away through the trees to the Burrow.
"Done"
"Lily, can you get me some cereblaka? It's a red flower with three petals."
"What does it do?"
"It heals damage done by the cruciatus curse to the brain."
"Okay," I say, walking into the forest.
"Where is the flower?" I ask
"Nowhere near here, the flower grows very far away." Earth responds
"I need it."
"The damage wasn't done to you."
"So? Tonks is part of my family."
"No, she isn't"
"Neither is Harry, or Hermione, yet I regard them as my siblings."
"You see the stuck-up know-it-all as a sister?"
"Yes."
"You humans are strange"
"Where can I find the flower?"
"North America"
"Can I grow it here?"
"No, you can realm jump to get there"
"You're joking right?"
"No."
"How?"
"Jump into Darkness then pull out in the U.S.A."
"Okay?"
I disappear from the forest, not knowing that Tonks was watching me, I appear in Darkness and ask, "Hello? Can someone tell me where to jump to get into the United States?"
"Walk two steps to your left and jump" Fire answers
"Thanks." I say, obeying. I appear in New York.
"Time is paused in England. You are safe to take some time" Time says
"Thank you"
"Excuse me? What do you think you're doing here? Where are your parents?" A man asks me once he sees me.
"In England."
"Really?"
"Yes sir. Mum needed me to come because…"
"Say no more, come with me"
'Oh no..' "Confundus" I say, pointing my wand at him slyly.
"Excuse me, what are you doing here?" A woman asks me.
"Excuse me?"
"I'll take her from here" She says, the man walks away.
"What did you do to the no-maj?"
"The what?"
"The no-maj? Non magic?"
"Oh, muggle, confundus?"
"Did he see your wand?"
"Probably not."
"Come with me"
"Where are we going?"
"The MACUSA"
"Of course, I come here to save a friend from the effects of the cruciatus curse and now I'm getting in trouble with the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and I'll probably get thrown into Azkaban."
"What's Azkaban?"
"You don't know what Azkaban is? And I thought we were behind."
"What's your name?"
"Lily Polaris Lupin, and you?"
"None of your concern."
"Well excuse me for being polite"
"Come on" She says, we apparate into a large building with magical creatures and witches and wizards walking around.
"Where are we going?"
"To meet with Madame President"
"Was what I did really that wrong?"
"Yes."
"Fine, but if I get in trouble, have fun catching me, I didn't even do anything wrong"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing,"
"Madame President, I brought a girl who has multiple charges on her head."
"Did she kill anyone?" the President asks, not amused
"No, she confunded a no-maj"
"Because he was going to put me in an orphanage!" I shout, very mad
"How do you have a wand?"
"I go to Hogwarts, not Ilvermorny."
"Where are your parents?"
"In England"
"How did you get here?"
"Jumped"
"Jumped, through what?"
"The Darkness"
"That's completely absurd"
"Not completely no, you didn't ask for my species"
"You're not human?"
"No, not exactly"
"What are you then?"
"Werewolf, duh"
"Prove it"
"Well, since I kinda have to be home before the full moon, no thanks, do you know where I can find cereblaka?"
"The flower that heals victims of the cruciatus curse?"
"Yep, that one"
"It does not grow here"
"Well, I would be surprised if it grew in such a densely populated city as New York, but it does grow here"
"Very well, Auror Amanda Harkness will take you to find it."
"What? No! I'm not taking the half-breed brat anywhere!" Amanda protested
"I agree! She'll slow me down! Tonks should have already been healed right now!"
"Who?"
"Nymphandora Tonks, the cruciatus curse victim? Really? And I thought the Ministry had problems connecting dots, like seriously."
"That's a horrible name."
"You're telling me."
"Why was she tortured exactly?"
"Andy and Ted died, killed by their brother-in-law, Lucius Malfoy, who did it because he was alerted of the return of Lord Voldemort, and now my friends, I refuse to let this stuck-up Auror take me to a place nobody else even knows exists."
"I'm with the werewolf."
"You have two choices on what to call me, Lily or Polaris. Nowhere in there is Werewolf. And last time I checked, I am at least ten times more powerful than you"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yep"
"Prove it"
"You can start the duel it you want" I say bowing to my opponent.
"Incendio" She says after bowing. I snap my fingers and the flame is put out, I put my hand out and a tree branch starts hitting her. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Make it stop!" She yells, it stops.
"Point?"
"Yes, now do I have to go with her?"
"No." the President says, I sigh and walk out.
I jump into the field where the flowers are and I pick as many as I can carry. I look up and see a large bird-like thing flying towards me.
"Hello," I say, it nods it's head.
"Thunderbird? So, looks like I'm in Arizona. No wonder these couldn't grow anywhere else."
"Talking to a Thunderbird? You haven't been away from civilization for that long"
"Shut up Water."
I jump into the Darkness and back out into the forest I was in before I left.
"Tonks! You followed me?"
"Y-yeah? What happened?"
"I got the flower, that's all that matters."
"Krissy's going to kill you"
"I know, but it would be worth it. ALICE!" I yell, she walks over to us.
"That was quick"
"No it wasn't, I got held up in New York. It took hours, oh yeah, nevermind."
"Anyway, how many did you bring?"
"As many as I could carry" I say, handing her a few of the many flowers, now floating beside me.
"Good, Tonks, eat this" Alice says, handing her the whole flower.
"Thanks" Tonks mutters, eating the flower.
"I'll be back" I say, walking away, plants withering as I step on them.
"What's wrong?" James asks, seeing the trail of dead plants
"Tonks, Andy and Ted died, the MACUSA is out for my head, and all I wanted was to get cereblaka to heal Tonks."
"Wait, the one that heals victims of the torture curse?"
"Yep, it only grows in Arizona, it was not fun taking a wrong turn in New York"
"So, why are you mad?"
"Lucius, I would kill him, except I don't really want to have to share a cell with the traitor, though I could have some fun chasing rats during the full moon."
"Why are you two talking about Peter Pettigrew?" Dad asks us.
"I want to kill Malfoy, except I don't want to be sent to Azkaban to live with a slimy rat."
"Well, your logic there is good, but I'll bet you would plan it all out first."
"Of course I would. Wait"
"Yes, I do know you're in Slytherin, I always knew you would be."
"You're not mad?"
"Why would I be mad that my daughter is not in Gryffindor?"
"I dunno, it's just-Slytherin and Gryffindor-"
"So? Lily and Severus, you and James, you and Harry, you and Aguria, you and Ron-" He says, I wince at the last one. "After everything? He still doesn't like you?"
"No, Lily said he was jealous about me and the twins."
"Kriss gave you the ring?"
"Mum gave it to me?"
"But-Dumbledore took it in seventh year when he caught us. Dumbledore gave you the ring?"
"Yeah?"
"So, the ring obeys you?"
"What?"
"When you use it, you see them?
"Yes."
"Wow."
"Moony? Have you seen Starry?" Sirius asks
"No, Lily?"
"Nothing." I say, turning the ring over on my finger. "I'll check with Light"
"I have no clue, she's shut herself off"
"She's not in contact with Light, James, check with Fire"
"Mum's not talking to Fire either" James says
