Journey to a new start ch 7





Chapter 7
Breaking the seal on the parchment for the secret to the Fidelius for this location Harry read the pass phrase and looked up to see the building shimmer into view.


Grinning with determination Harry walked towards the building intent on freeing those inside.


Walking inside the first thing he noticed was the pens holding what looked like a range from infant to young adult house elves, thirty in total being cared for by house elves wearing glowing collars. Waving his hand at the pens, the doors dissolved allowing the house elves the freedom to leave the cage.


Hearing the cries of “High One” from multiple voices of all ages Harry motioned for those wearing the glowing collars to approach.


Touching a finger to the control collar of the first house elf he came to Harry felt for the magic that was built into the collar and started to unweave it.


Finding the key point that would destroy the collar Harry fed a burst of magic into the collar causing it to glow brightly before falling to the floor in several pieces.


Pointing to the next house elf kneeling Harry said. “Stand up all of you. And come closer so I can get those blasted collars off of you.”


Moving swiftly through the house elves it was only a matter of minutes before he had all the collars removed and piled on the floor.


“Wait here until I call for you.” Harry whispered to the house elves as he waited to move forward until he had seen them nodding their heads in understanding.


Quietly making his way to the closed door leading further in the building Harry opened it while listening for any signs of life.


Not hearing anything Harry opened the door and noticed he had found the room that housed the queens.


Hearing some swearing coming from around the corner Harry silently made his way as he listened in on the conversation.


“I told Marcus not to breed this one anymore. I told him the last three died after casting the necto servus on the damn pups.” The voice said as Harry heard the man cast a banishing charm.


Peaking around the corner Harry saw one of the house elf queens tied down to the table still in the midst of giving birth while the grizzly wizard was banishing several dead house elf babies.


Angry Harry gathered his magic and froze the man in mid movement and quickly conjured chains to bind him, as he removed his wand from his hand and moved around so that he could be clearly seen, he then held the wand up so it could be seen and applying pressure snapped it before dropping it to the ground.


Staring at the man with some small amount of hate, Harry finally broke eye contact when the man soiled himself in fear.


Serves him right Harry though as he removed a chest from his belt and enlarged it and levitated out a metal arch covered in runic inscriptions. An arch made especially for the purpose of quick transport back to Sanctuary in cause of an evacuation of his forces due to a route during the war back in his old world.


Casting a diagnostic charm followed by a pain relief charm at the queen tied to the table Harry placed the arch on the floor and taking a crystal from on of his belt pouches inserted it into the top of the arch activating the enlargement charms built into the arch while at the same time providing power as it hunted for the connection to the main hospital array.


Smiling when the arch started to glow and he could see into the hospital area Harry started to untie the house elf queen while calling out for help. “Itsy, Misty I need your help.”


Itsy hearing her Sirs voice ran towards the array and looked around wildly for her Sir or any thing else that was injured that he would need her help with.


Not seeing any injured in the arrival area or her sir Itsy called out. ‘Where is Sir Emerald Eyes being?”


Hearing the call Harry answered back. “Over here Itsy, there’s a door open you can see from inside the array.”


Curious Itsy moved into the circle and looked around and exclaimed in shock when she saw a doorway between two of the pylons that showed her Sir working on something that was tied down.


“Misty is coming here to help Itsy help her Sir.” Itsy yelled at her helper that was walking in the barn from checking on the last few Unicorns still hanging around the outside treatment area having given birth to their foals the night before.


Sending a bit of healing magic into the house elf after the hard labor she had endured Harry turned to the arch and ordered. “Itsy walk through the doorway so you can help me, Misty go find Eldest and bring him back here with as many house elves as you can.”


Itsy trusting her sir and noticing the blood and fluids on the floor by his feet quickly ran through the doorway and found herself in a place she never thought she would see again, the house elf breeding facility.


Shaking a little bit until she noticed the wizard chained and unable to move she quickly snapped out of her shock and moved forward to help the breeding queen heal from her long labor.


Letting Itsy deal with the healing Harry looked around the twelve cages to see if he could find the cascade point like he did for the slave collars and release the imprisoned breeding house elves.


Hearing a steady stream of pops from behind him Harry looked over his shoulder to see several dozen house elves walking into the facility through the arch.


Seeing two house elves he hoped to see Harry called out. “Blinky, Tinky over here.”


The two house elves quickly moved to his side hands moving in agitated motions in front of them.


“I need you two to move to the next room and gather up all the house elves and escort them back to Sanctuary.” Harry told them.


Blinky wrung his hands and asked bravely. “Sir Emerald Eyes be taking house elves that not be belonging to Sir. Is Sir being getting in trouble?”


Shaking his head at how brainwashed the house elves in his employ still were Harry answered. “I bought these facilities to put an end to the enslavement of house elves, so in a sense even though the elves in the next room are not bonded I am not stealing them.”


Grinning now that he knew that he was not stealing Blinky nodded his head and ran into the other room promising to punish him self later for doubting Sir. Before remembering he was ordered never to punish him self as he was a proud free elf.


Later he thought, later he would find an appropriate chore to do without PAY for doubting Sir as he moved to escort the little ones to their new home.


Oblivious to the internal antics of Blinky Harry finally found the key stone of the weaving and placing his finger near it sent out a large uncontrolled burst of magic into it overloading the cage causing a cascade failure.


Moving over to the next cage in line Harry ordered. “Eldest, make sure you get the breeding house elves out of here and back to Sanctuary, make sure they know that they are being rescued.”


“Yes High One, Eldest being doing as your say.” Eldest said as he smiled and moved across the failed wards and snapped his fingers opening the cage.


Gently reaching out he placed his fingers on the forehead of the creature called a house elf queen because she was a breeding female and usually had three or four babies at one time, and thought hard of giving her the information about the High One and how they would be free and safe once they made it through the arch.


Handing the house elf off to another Eldest quickly repeated the procedure with the ten other house elf queens freed.


Harry finished bringing the wards down around the cages walked up to the wizard to get some answers.


Making sure the man could see him clearly Harry tilted his head to the side and brushed his hands through his hair exposing his long pointed ears.


Snapping his fingers just like a house elf Harry released the freezing spell he had placed on the mans muscles and allowed him to move within the constraints of the chains around his upper body.


Morris fell to his knees at the sight of the being of legend in front of him.


Harry held his hand out and made the motion as if grabbing the mans shirtfront and lifted his arm. The man levitated from the floor as if he was lifted.


“You would do well to remember that I will not take kindly to being lied to. If I catch you in a lie I will leave you in the building as I destroy the grounds.” Harry told him through gritted teeth anger just this side of being under control.


Nodding his head in fright Morris knew better than lie to one of the High Ones.


“Good.” Harry told him as the man nodded his head in agreement. “Now tell me are there any more magical beings or creatures on this property?”


Nodding his head still to frightened to speak Morris flinched as the High One growled out. “Where and what, do not make me ask this of you twice.”


Gulping Morris stammered. “Out…Out back.”


Swallowing at the glare he quickly babbled out placing blame on another. “A group of Pegasus, Clyde broke their wings so they could not leave.”


Growling in anger at the cruelty Harry let his spell go and directed the rage that was building up his magic at the wall blowing a huge hole in it exposing the narrow cages holding the crippled Pegasus.


Not waiting for Harry to tell them what to do the house elves waiting for their next orders rushed out through the hole he had created and started to free the crippled flying horses and help them towards the archway and healing.


After the last one had been moved through the arch Harry growled. “Any others? Or anything else you want to tell me wizard?”


Morris shook his head no as violently as he could really scared now.


A violent motion of his hand and the chained man was floating near the hole in the wall while Harry talked to the house elves.


“Eldest be ready in around fifteen minutes I will be opening another doorway in the other breeding facility and we shall rescue the last of the house elves held for breeding purposes.” Harry warned them. “this next one is the bigger of the two so there might be more to rescue beside your people.”


“Eldest will have the others ready High One.” Eldest said proudly as he motioned for Tinky to go through the doorway.


Once the house elves were through the archway Harry went over to it and reaching up pulled the crystal deactivating the arch causing it to shrink back down to a manageable size.


Levitating the arch into the open trunk and shrinking it down so it could be clipped onto his belt Harry beckoned with his finger at the floating man and walked out of the hole and toward the edge of the Fidelius charm.


Placing his hand on the ward that held the Fidelius Harry started a chain reaction that would bring down the Fidelius without disturbing to greatly the unplottable charm woven into the ground of the property.


Satisfied when ten minutes later the Fidelius fell in a flash of rainbow colored waves Harry started to chant in an ancient dialect not heard on this world before since the foundation of magic was released into the world.


Morris watched in fear as the High One started to chant and the building that housed the breeding facility started to melt into the ground as bolt after bolt of lightening hit the structure.


Morris was barley in control as the chanting started to change in rhythm and tone and flowers and grass started to flow in from the edges of the burnt out ground completely hiding the fact that a terrible hand of justice had touched the ground destroying the building and surrounding pens.


Staring at the chained man Harry dispelled the chains he had conjured and reached down with magically amplified muscles picked the man up and held him up near his face and broke through the mans brittle mind shields to find out what he knew of the other facility.


Not saying anything Harry dropped the man to the ground after finding out that three people staffed the other facility at all times, Harry stepped a meter or so away and slashed his hand down opening a rift and stepping through leaving a weeping and broken slaver behind on the ground.


Stepping up to the magical field he felt Harry broke open the parchment holding the password to the Fidelius and walked through the wards once the buildings became visible.


Hearing the angry screams of Graphorn and swearing coming from around the back of the one building Harry trying for stealth moved towards the sounds intent on starting the taking of prisoners there.


Spotting the Graphorn in some kind of stock as the wizard was using a saw to cut off its horns Harry sent a powerful stunner intending to take down both at once.


Quickly scanning the area to make sure no one else was around Harry moved swiftly over to the fallen man and quickly bound him in chains and stuck him to the side of the barn out of reach of most animals.


One down two more to go Harry thought as he quickly checked inside the barn to see several more Graphorn’s penned awaiting having their horns removed.


Moving to the next building Harry peaked in the window to see several cages filled with Ashwinders and other venomous reptiles.


Looked like this was also a magical creature farm, where they raised creatures for potion ingredients.


Not sure what he was going to do with this place once he release the house elves Harry moved to the other barns and hit pay dirt when he peaked into the last barn before the breeding facility.


Another wizard talking to one of the many Thestral’s in the barn as he groomed the skeletal creature. “It’s not right how you all are kept like you are. I did not hire one to work at a place like this; Marcus lied about what kind of place this was.”


Placing his head on the Thestral’s neck the young man Harry noticed had tears running down his face. “It’s not right, and I can’t even leave this place after they caught me trying to escape.”


Thinking that it was about time he met a wizard with some morals Harry walked calmly up the aisle and watched as the herd of Thestral’s noticed him and bowed their heads.


Thomas seeing the Thestral’s bowing in respect turned around quickly to see what looked like a young boy walking down the aisle towards where he was standing.


“Who are you? How did you get past the wards? More importantly can you get out and bring back help?” Thomas rushed out his questions hope of escaping flaring to life once more.


Ignoring the young mans questions Harry asked one of his own. “Where is the other man at, I already took care of the one cutting the horns off the Graphorn’s.”


Thomas looked at the boy in surprise and confusion, this little bitty boy took out a fully trained killer, and it just did not make any sense.


Not that he was slow or anything but Thomas was muggle born and did not grow up with the stories and legends of the High Ones so he had no clue who or what this pointy ear boy was.


“Look you need to get out of here before Marcus comes back with Fredrick. What they will do to you will, not be pleasant.” Thomas shuddered as he tried to get the boy to leave.


Harry realized the young man did not recognize him even with his ears exposed, interesting he thought. “Don’t worry about me.” Harry told him.


“So what is Marcus doing here?” Harry asked knowing that Marcus should not have been able to gain access to this place after the Fidelius was changed.


Maybe if he told this kid that Marcus was planning to steal house elves after he sold the whole place to someone else the kid would take off and tell someone. “He is rounding up some of the house elves so he can set up a hidden breeding operation; he never planned on keeping his word when he sold this place. He arrived by port key ten minutes ago.” Thomas told him.


Harry was angry at finding out that the wizard never intended to keep his word and hissed out. “Oath breaker.”


Staring at the Thestral’s that had gathered close by Harry told them. “Guard and keep this one in here.” Before turning and walking back the way he came.


Thomas was very confused when the Thestral’s he had been caring for followed the strange boys orders and encircled him, pressing him into the center of their herd as they closed ranks.


Opening the top of one of the many belt compartments around his waist Harry pulled out an orange colored crystal that they had developed to combat death eaters erecting wards that they could key themselves into to escape while everyone else was stuck inside.


Several nasty incidents had occurred trapping order members inside warded structures while they burned down, unable to escape the flames. These Crystals were Hermione’s answer to the problem.


It was only possible because Harry was able to grow crystals with his magic that they could store spells in them.


Launching the crystal towards the wards high above, Harry smiled in satisfaction as the crystal hit the wards and they resonated with phoenix song as the wards were altered to not allow any travel through them by magical means.


Forgetting stealth Harry made his way over to the breeding facility and melted the door allowing entry into the building.


Seeing the two wizards collecting some of the young house elves into a cage Harry started throwing spells in their direction to counter the stunners they had started firing off as the door melted.


Harry was angry now as he battered yet another stunner away before it had any chance of getting close to him.


Wanting to end this before any of the house elves were caught in the cross fire Harry went on the offensive and started to throw spells from both hands as fast as he could think of the effects wanted.


Time to end this Harry told him self as he gathered his magic and targeted the taller of the two who ducked the spell he sent with his right hand by dodging right into the one he had sent with his left.


After that the shorter of the two turned to flee and was an easy capture as he turned and tripped over one of the cages holding one of the really young house elves.


Binding the two men with conjured chains and deciding to punish them further for attacking him Harry pulled two smoky crystals out and rolling the two stunned men over ripped the men’s robes open and placed a crystal on each of their bare chests.


The crystals had been designed as a means of draining a prisoners magic to the point they could not perform the simplest spell without a weeks worth of rest or several nasty foul tasting potions.


The added benefit was that the crystals would store the magic they siphoned off so that it could be used for better purposes.


Harry remembered back to the day he loaned Hermione a couple of books he had translated from the Sanctuary library that outlined crystal magic. It had been spectacular the blow up she had when Harry refused to tell where he had gotten the tomes from or tell her anything about them except to say they came from his private library.


Harry smiled as his memories played back as he went about setting up the archway so he could start the evacuation.


Anyone watching Harry at the moment would more than likely have run the other way after taking one look at the giggling young man going about setting up some strange contraptions.


Inserting the power crystal into the archway Harry laughed out loud as he remembered the morning he had caught Hermione trying to take his trunk apart, sure that he had hidden compartments inside it that had his library.


Whispering “This is for you Hermione.” Harry stood back and started to remove the collars of the male drones charged with raising the young house elves.


Eldest was fidgeting waiting for the doorway to open, it was way past the time Sir had told him the doorway would be opened and he was starting to worry that something might have gone wrong.


Sighing in relief when the doorway snapped into existence Eldest ordered all the waiting house elves to quickly go through.


“Ah young Lord your little ones were getting quite worried that you had missed the appointed time you told them the doorway would open.” Trava’in told him approaching Harry as he released another house elf from his control collar.


Turning around quickly at the sound of the strange voice behind him Harry stood up and was slightly surprised so see so many High Elf’s walking through the archway.


Blinking in surprise as he stood up straight, Harry asked. “Hello, not to sound crass or anything but why are you all here?”


Chuckling at the expression on the young lords face Trava’in decided introductions were in order. “Sorry I sometimes forget not every knows me by sight.”


“Let me introduce myself I am Trava’in Lord of the lands hidden in the forest.” Trava’in told him as he extended his arm in welcome.


Clasping the other Lords forearm Harry told him. “Nice to meet you.”


Chuckling Trava’in told him. “I had stopped by to introduce myself and invite you to dinner one night this week, so you could have a chance to see some Elvin holdings other than your own, only to find your little ones worried that you had missed the appointed time you told them you would be calling for their help.”


“They are very attached to you.” Trava’in told him.


Wincing slightly Harry replied. “Yes well this place is a lot bigger and involved than I was led to believe. It seems this is a magical creature farm where the animals are raised for the ingredients they can provide.”


Looking over Trava’in’s shoulder Harry saw that the queens were starting to be moved through the archway and to safety.


“Strange little creatures.” Trava’in commented. “I have never seen their like before.”


“One of my best friends back in my old world made it her purpose in life to find everything she could about house elves and their origin in the attempt to find out how to break their enslavement.” Harry told him getting lost in memories.


“She spent every free moment that was not devoted to the war effort to discovering how house elves were created. She came up with some pretty far fetched theories at times and used to look so put out when most of them were proven false.” Harry laughed at the memory.


“It was only several years after her death that I discovered the information Hermione only speculated on. Seems house elves were created by selective breeding several different species with magic by wizards long ago looking to come up with the perfect servants.” Harry explained before moving to check on his prisoners.


‘She might have eventually realized the key to providing house elf freedom if she had only known they have four sexes. It would have given her the clues to theorize that there had to be queens, not that the enslavement spell destroyed the reproductive organs.” Harry reached down and grabbed the taller wizard waking him as he said that.


“Now who would you be?” Harry inquired at the scared wizard in his grip.


Jerking his head to the side towards the shorter man he babbled. “That’s the one you want. That’s Marcus there, he’s the one you want.”


“So the oath breaker is that one is it?” Harry hissed at him. “But that still does not excuse your attack on me, now does it?”


Pocketing the crystal that had been stuck to the mans chest Harry pulled a pitch black crystal out of one of the compartments that was heavily reinforced with many protections including a lock set to his magical signature only.


Now that the mans core was so depleted due to the first crystal, Harry shoved the thin sharp black crystal into the mans chest and chanted the incantation to activate it he had developed along with the crystal.


Releasing the man he fell to the floor screaming in pain as his magical core collapsed in on itself.


Harry told the now whimpering man. “It is never a good idea to attack one of the High Elf’s, you might find that the gift of magic is taken away for such an offense.”


Trava’in was surprised but satisfied with the punishment the young lord had administered, it needed to be very clear to all the other races how unwise it is to attack one of the High Elf’s.


Waking up Marcus Harry battered his way inside the mans defenseless mind making sure that there was not any other secret breeding centers around the world and that no one else had the knowledge of how the house elves were created.


Letting go of the now drooling man as he stood up and considered what he had learned from Marcus’s mind. It seems much of the knowledge on the creation of house elves and why they applied what spells they did was lost to this world.


Feeling a tugging on his pants leg Harry Looked down at Tinky who was trying to get his attention.


Seeing Harry looking down at him Tinky asked. “Does Sir Emerald Eyes be wanting his house elves to be moving his critters through the door?”


Thinking about the best way to deal with the all the magical creatures housed here Harry decided to leave them as is until he could return them to the wild or some other option presented itself.


Kneeling down so Tinky did not strain his neck as he looked at him, Harry answered the house elves question with a request instead. “Tinky could you go back through the door and bring me back one of the silver chests that is behind my desk?”


Nodding his head Tinky told him, “Tinky will do.” Before running towards the arch to complete the task as quickly as possible.


Looking around the room Harry called out. “Eldest are you still around here somewhere?”


A pop from behind him alerted Harry to the arrival of Eldest.


“Eldest I need you to assign some elves to feed and care for the animals here until I figure out what to do with them.” Harry told him as he turned around.


Eldest bowed very aware of the other High Ones around his Sir. “Yes High One.”


Shaking his head in amusement Harry went over to the drooling man and exchanged the crystal on the man’s chest with the second and last of the black crystals he carried in his weapons pouch.


Activating the crystal with the same chanted incantation Harry levitated the slightly convulsing man along with the other and made for the door.


Tinky came running back in carrying a silver chest and happily called out. “Tinky has Sirs chest.”


Smiling Harry chuckled at the house elves enthusiasm. “Thank you Tinky, if you can make sure nothing alive is still in this building and warn the others on the others side of the arch to stay put please.”


Trava’in followed Harry as he moved to a large open area and opened the now enlarged silver chest and removed a miniature model of the Runic array he had arrived at this morning.


Harry placed the array on the ground and pushed his magic into each of the pylons of the shrunken array before stepping back quickly as it grew in size and started to glow ever so slightly with activation


Tinky happy to be of service to his Sir skipped out of the building and happily told him. “Building is empty, Tinky checked twice and told Misty not to let any ones through door.”


Smiling Harry told the happy elf. ‘Thank you Tinky.”


“Now to take care of this abomination of a building.” Harry muttered as he traced a rune in the air in front of him leaving an outline flickering in flames.


Once it was finished Harry said. “Eilolari.” Causing the rune to rush inside the building activating the self destruct on the archway.


Trava’in watched in awe as a shimmering silver light burst from inside of the building leaving behind it a gently falling trail of dust as the building disintegrated.


“By the Valar what just happened?” Trava’in asked in wonder.


“Back in my world during the war we had to come up with a sure fire way to make sure our escape routes did not fall into enemy hands, it was an added bonus that it also destroyed everything in the immediate area as it self destructed.” Harry shrugged uncomfortably at the magic they had designed during the war.


Sensing the young lord was uncomfortable Trava’in did not comment further not wanting to dredge up old memories before he had a chance to heal.


Watching some of the high Elf’s escorting the last two wizards in the compound over to where he was standing with their Lord Harry really wished he could collapse the core of the one that was bound just because of the mans cruel nature.


Conjuring some parchment and a pen Harry solidified the air in front of him so he could use it as a writing table.


Penning a quick note to Glathrock about the oath breaker he placed it on Marcus’s robe with a sticking charm and created a port key from one of the smaller crystal amplifiers in his weapons pouch.


That should give it the needed boost to take the foursome through Gringotts wards and deposit them in the lobby of the bank.


Glaring at the young man that looked like he wanted to wet himself in fear Harry gave him a warning before pressing the crystal in the young mans hands. “I am going to give you the benefit of assuming you hold no malice in your soul. Next time you are offered a job, take more care in investigating your working conditions.”


After the four had been transported away by port key Harry smiled at the chaos their arrival in Gringotts would cause among the Goblins before he turned to face his visitor.


Seeing the several dozen High Elf’s standing around Harry explained how to travel by array and invited them all to stay for lunch as he walked to the array escorting them to more comfortable surroundings.


Whispering to Tinky to inform Trisky that they would be having guests for lunch and the numbers she would need to feed, Harry turned. “Thank you for your help this morning. Feel free to wander around and make yourself at home.”


“Lunch shall be at noon and served on the patio overlooking the waterfall.” Harry told them pointing to the picnic area in the distance.


Steering Trava’in towards his office with a comment. “Shall we retire to my office to discuss your earlier invitation.”


XXX


It had been a fun filled lunch filled with jokes and stories about events in this world that went a long way to making Harry feel as an accepted and welcome member.


Walking towards the hospital Harry had put this meeting off long enough.


Entering the hospital Harry noticed Remus sitting on a chair next to one of the beds reading.


Chuckling at the bookish ways of this young version of his Remus Harry approached the bed.


“Feeling better?” Harry asked.


Startled Remus looked up to see a young person about his age approaching and smiled, finally a distraction. “Yes I am, in fact I am feeling great. Which is amazing in itself, it usually takes several days to recover from one of my episodes.”


Remus hoped he had been found after he transformed back and not while still transformed, he really liked it here and was afraid that if they found out what he was they would make him go away.


Dragging a chair over to join Remus Harry mentioned. “You were in pretty bad shape this morning when we found you, silver poisoning on top of the arrow damage.”


Remus was in shock they knew what he was; now like everyone else they were kicking him out for being the filthy evil beast he was.


Sensing the fear and seeing the hurt in Remus’s eyes Harry leaned forward and placed his hand gently on the others arm. “Relax Remus, yes we know what you are, and it DOES NOT MATTER.”


“It seems the only one hurt last night was you, though how the hunter picked up your trail I don’t know.” Harry told him as Remus started to settle down.


Sensing the other needed some thing to take his mind off the shocks that he was hit with Harry asked. “Did you have enough to eat for lunch?”


Shaking his head Remus replied. “I was not really hungry so I passed.”


Sighing Harry called out. “Misty.”


Seeing the little house elf poke her head from around the cupboard she was standing behind as she watched the young boy in her care Harry asked her to bring Remus his lunch.


When the steaming bowl of stew and fresh bread appeared in front of Remus Harry told him. “Dig in, the sooner you get your strength back the sooner you can get out of here.”


Something was strange about the boy Remus thought, come to think of it this was the first person he had seen so far this morning and he wondered why as he heard a ruckus and voices coming from down the way most of the morning.


“Not to be ungrateful, because I really am grateful for all the help I have received so far, but who are you and where am I?” Remus asked spooning up the tasty stew.


Settling back in his chair Harry had wondered how long it would be before Remus asked this question. “My name probably will give your more questions than answer but here goes. I am Mytimah Na Arkeanea’ghymn Lord of these lands known as Sanctuary.”


Remus let go of his spoon and it clattered to the floor as it bounced off the edge of the table.


Remus stared at the young boy that looked younger than him in confusion and said the first thing to come to mind. “Aren’t you a bit young to be a Lord?”


Laughing at the confused curiosity on Remus’s face Harry told him as if it was a big secret. “If you multiply the age I look like by three you would be close.”


Remus’s eyes bugged out as he tried to wrap his mind around that fact.


Misty who had brought Remus a new spoon placed it on the table and scolded him. “Eat, you not be released from the hospital if you do not eat.”


Remus slowly picked up his spoon like it was going to bite him as he stared at the house elf with very un-house elf like behavior.


Casting a diagnostic spell Harry decided that Remus could do with a few more meals and some more sleep, but otherwise was ready to be released. Fingering the vial that the had taken from his private safe, he wondered if he should just dose the young man in front of him without asking his parents permission, knowing how his Remus had reacted to the news of the control that he had developed.


While totally rubbish at potions while in school, Harry was not really that bad left to his own devices, he would never be a potion master put he could brew most anything he had a recipe for.


The thing was that the cure he had discovered was not so much a potion as a runic inscription that the original wizard that developed the disease in an attempt to come up with a sure fire way of becoming an Animagus.


Something had gone wrong when the wizard was injured runes inscribed on the wizards forearm were destroyed when he broke it, thus allowing the disease to be transferred to others and become the curse it was today.


Harry’s solution to the problem of inscribing the runes on the bones was to inscribe it on a bone that if was broken would also result in the death of the person, making sure the failed transformation turned curse was not passed on.


A little technomancy allowed him to inscribe the runic set on the first two vertebra on a persons neck, thus if the bones were ever broken the person would not be breathing anyway. His Remus once he learned the ins and outs of his new control was overjoyed and acted like a new man.


It had even allowed Harry to steal the allegiance of all the werewolf clan’s world wide to his side away from Voldemort.


“Toby.” Harry called for his librarian.


Toby popped into the hospital and looking around and spotting Harry walked over and asked. “What can Toby be doing for Sir.”


Smiling at how formal the little house elf was becoming even though he was one of the most well educated Harry replied. “Toby I need you to go to my private library and get the gold and green striped journal from the third row fifth shelf and bring it here please.”


Toby nodded his head regally causing Harry to giggle at his antics as he popped away.


Turning to look at the curious Remus Harry told him. “I have something I would like you to read and study this afternoon while you rest up, later when I return I would like to talk it over with you.”


Toby popped back in and Harry thanked him as he took the offered journal and handed it over to Remus as he stood. ‘Please study it carefully; it has information that could be life changing for you.”


Leaving the room with a curious and somewhat fearful Remus Lupin staring at the journal he was holding Harry went to make arrangements to summon the boy’s parents.

Wow. Just--wow. I am so hyper this instance that I cannot calm down, all because of this chapter. I'm going to need to sit myself down with a cup of hot chocolate... This was very exciting. The rescue of all those magical species was thrilling, and the punishment of the oath breaker and OB's present allies was smugly satisfying! You--you wonderful author, you--know how to REALLY spin a tale! I am so glad you updated, and it's not at all unlucky even though 'twas posted on the thirteenth, so superstitious persons may rest easy. Besides the rescue, I'm glad that the plot's moving in this direction--that Harry will finally be seeing some originally Elven homes. It makes me curious, making me wonder the similarities of Harry's home to the other Elves' home. Whee! Whee! Whee! I can't WAAAIIIT! *contented sigh* I'm going to sit myself out for a half hour or so to digest hot chocolate, cookies, and your chapter. I'm going to need to, considering the amount of sugar in each--aforementioned--digested item. Yush. Thanks again! An' bye-bye, Wolfie. (^.~)

-Love,
