Chapter 1


A golden light woke him up from a deep sleep. Glancing over at the night stand and the damnable clock sitting there, Ar’Ron saw it was 3 a.m. way to early to be awake, yet the light was not coming through the window it was coming from over by the closed door to his closet he thought to himself. Shaking the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes he finally woke up completely the glow solidified into a golden shaped archway and a strange shaped head popped through.


“You is needed. Master Harry Potter Sir is hurt real bad. You is coming now” Dobby screeched in terror.


Years of training kicked in Ar’Ron threw the covers aside not bothering to dress, quickly ran though the arch to find himself in a small room. The moment he crossed the threshold he felt his magic and all his knowledge return to him, he knew what had happened after he was trapped in that magicless dimension. He knew that his people had stepped out of this reality until they found a way to rescue him, leaving instructions in the fabric of magic in case he found his own way back. This only took seconds as he glanced around, room he snorted, this room is smaller than most closets, then his eyes found something horrifying over in the corner a small figure was lying on a thin mattress covered in blood.


“Hurry, fat man be back soon, fat man says he go get ax to chop Master in itsy pieces.” Dobby cried in frights as he wrung his hands trying to figure out what to do.


Stepping the few steps over to the young man, Ar’Ron knelt down and calling his magic up to his eyes he saw that most of Harry’s ribs were broken, he had a punctured lung which was pushing his airway out of place causing the airway to close and start to suffocate, he was bleeding from so many gashes that it was hard to count them all. “Dobby I need your help, place your hands gently over the top of mine and push your magic with all your might into this little one, Don’t worry about directing it I will handle that. We need to be quick and inflate his lung before it causes him to smother.” Ar’Ron directed as he thought about what needed to be done and willed magic to heal the young man.


Carefully Ar’Ron rolled the young man over onto his back so he could easily get to his chest, placing his hands on Harry’s chest a blue glow started from where he touched his chest, quickly the glow surrounded Harry. Dobby finally being told what he could do rushed over and placed his hands over top the others and pushed his magic out with all his might, scrunching up his face in concentration. Ar’Ron directed Dobby’s magic along with his own, willing the broken ribs to reconnect partially, it would hold long enough until he could come back and direct the healing energies to make permanent repairs. Then he worked on re-inflating the lung which eased the pressure which was causing his windpipe to twist close, smiling as Harry’s windpipe moved back into place Ar’Ron relaxed Harry’s breathing was returning to normal and the blue was leaving his face.


Now to stop the bleeding Ar’Ron thought, directing their combined magic, his took in all the gashes, closing them one by one, the surface bleeding now stopped his eyes widened as he looked inside with his magic and placed temporary patches on the internal organs. “Well at least you now have some time. Wait a minute;” looking into Harry’s magical core he noticed for the first time that young Harry was Elven and his rage grew to the breaking point.


“Dobby where is Harry’s parents” Ar’Ron said through gritted teeth as he removed his hands, not wanting his anger to damage his hasty repairs.


“They is dead, bad wizard killed them when he was baby of one years. These is masters auntie and unklie” Dobby softly said through the tears for what was done to Harry.


Ar’Ron’s head snapped up as he heard a grating screeching from outside the closed door and his anger grew higher yet as he stood and faced the door.


“Vernon you’re getting blood all over the carpet,” shrieked Petunia Dursley angrily, “You better make sure none of those freaks ever find out what you did, they might hurt my precious Dudleykins”


“Good for nothing worthless FREAKS…. Teach them a lesson…. Should kill the lot of them off” muttered Vernon as he walked up the stairs slapping the ax handle into the palm of his hand. As Vernon walked into the smallest bedroom of number 4 Privet Drive muttering to himself that he should have killed off the freak long ago, he looked up to his horror to see two more freakish people in his respectable home. To top it all off the tall pointy eared one had no clothes on, his face turning purple in anger, spittle flying from his mouth “OUT, GET OUT OF MY HOME I will not have any more of your freakish ways in my house” Vernon waved his ax threatening, his anger overrode his fear. he wanted the freak to pay for what he had done.


Ar’Ron's Eyes started to glow a deep emerald green replacing the white’s of his eyes, his waist length hair crackling with energy as it started to rise like a wind was blowing it up in the air. With an angry wave of his arm Vernon Dursley flew through the wall and landed in the hallway, plaster dust billowing everywhere.


Hearing the noise Petunia Dursley ran upstairs to find her beloved husband on the floor covered in wood and plaster. “BOY…. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE NOW? When I get through with you,” she bellowed as she walked through the hole in the wall into the bedroom. Only to freeze in fear as she took in the sight of the powerful Elf standing there with a greenish gold glow surrounding his body and hair flying every where and a house elf watching from the unconscious form of her nephew lying near the corner ‘OH Shit’ she thought remembering the pictures from Lily’s history books from school.


“You allowed this to happen to the one you were charged to protect and raise as your own.” eyes blazing in anger Ar’Ron froze her to the spot she was standing on as he approached her, he was going to find out what had been happening here.


Remus looked up from his guard post when he heard the loud crash and saw the glow coming from the upper windows of number four. Taking off the invisibility cloak as he ran into the house fearing for the life of the last link to the Marauders; taking the steps two at a time he skidded to halt in the hallway in time to hear.


“My own, that worthless freak is not part of my family, the sooner it is killed the safer the world will be for normal folk.” Petunia sputtered in indignant anger, how dare he say that foul creature was one of hers.



Furious Ar’Ron barely kept from killing the woman as he pointed his hand at the Dursley woman, incanting thru clenched teeth “Mym ti.” [Show Me]


In the space in front of Petunia Dursley an image appeared as a mist started to come out of the woman. Then like a muggle movie Harry’s life appeared for them to see, all the years of abuse, the beatings, the broken bones, the neglect, the starvation and attempts to kill Harry, it was all there as the memories unfolded for all to see.


At this point Vernon Dursley roused, rose from the floor and attempted once again to attack those freakish intruders in his home. He got to within inches of the freak before Ar’Ron turned his head towards him and whispered, “Do not move,” Vernon himself frozen in place unable to move ax stopped in mid swing.


Ar’Ron turned away from the mist coming from Petunia so he could pass judgment on the evil creature, grabbing the fat mans shirt he ripped the front of Vernon’s shirt open, placing his left hand flat against Vernon’s chest Ar’Ron glared in anger, “Vernon Dursley for your crimes over the years and for attempted murder on this day, you herby are sentenced to death. Let your life force heal your victim.” As soon as his words left his mouth he raised his other hand fingers pointing at Harry and a beam of light that pulsed in time to Vernon’s heartbeat left his fingers, hitting the young man’s chest, encasing Harry in a blue glow healing all his injuries.


Petunia stood there unable to move with an expression of horror as her husbands lifeless body slumped to the ground, lifeless eyes clouding up around his shrunken skin.


Ar’Ron waved of his hand in a come here motion, eyes never leaving Petunia’s horrified face as she was pulled as if roped around her middle to within arms reach. Placing his palm flat against her forehead he said “You have not even an ounce of compassion for others in you, so why should I show you compassion. Your life shall be used to counter years of abuse and malnourishment.” A pulsing blue light appeared as he repeated what he had done to the fat man, his right hand pointing at Harry, energy surrounding him in a blue glow which caused his body to grow to his rightful height of six feet and his muscles which previously were non existent started to develop.


After Petunia dropped to the floor lifeless, Ar’Ron turned away and with a wave of his hand a deep whirlpool type hot tub appeared in the middle of the room, taking up most of the free space. His anger satisfied for now Ar’Ron stared at Harry’s prone form as his eyes briefly glowed for a second, smiling as all of Harry’s clothes fell off as if cut. “Dobby, please help me get Harry into the water, the rapid healing we did is going to cause all kind of painful cramping and spasms,” Ar’Ron stepped down into the rolling waters of the hot tub facing Harry, waiting as Dobby raised his hands over Harry, he slowly rose into the air and floated over to the hot tub and was gently was lowered into the water. Ar’Ron moved over so he could keep Harry’s head above the water as the house Elf lowered him in using his magic.


“Dobby I need you to find me some bay leaf oil and rosemary oil at least a cupful of each to place in the water to help Harry’s muscles, it will relax him and keep them from cramping up,” Ar’Ron asked as he pulled Harry close into his body for support.


“Right away, Master Harry needs it then Master Harry gets it,” with that the hyperactive Dobby popped out.


“Who… What. …Could you explain what in MERLIN’S name is going on here,” Remus exclaimed confused as he entered the room through the large hole in the wall after glaring in anger at the door to Harry’s room covered in locks.


“How much have you seen?” Ar’Ron asked eyeing the intruder, casting a truth charm on him with a casual wave of a finger at the dead people o n the floor.


“I saw everything that happened after Petunia got upstairs, I was practically on her heals.” Remus responded without thinking looking a little worried, he did not think he could duel this Elf and win, plus he had his cub in his arms.


“The images you witnessed were the memories of Harry’s childhood,” Ar’Ron said controlling his anger as he stared at the now horrified man.


“I saw Albus in those memories. He knew,” whispered Remus horror struck “Please tell me, it can’t be true, can it? Albus always assured us Harry was loved and taken care of.”


“What you saw was very much the truth, four times Harry’s magic kept him from being killed from what his relatives had done to him, and four times Albus as you named him came and placed a block on Harry’s magic weakening him in the process. Blocks I might add I have removed allowing Harry’s power and true heritage to come through.” Ar’Ron said as he moved the hair off Harry’s ears showing them to be pointed like his own.


Growling in pent up anger for what was done to his cub, Remus kicked the door frame as he spat out, “What about them, how are we to keep Harry safe now, without Petunia the blood wards will not work.”


Ar’Ron looked up and examined the magic surrounding this house before replying to the distraught wizard, “What blood wards? There were never any blood wards placed on this house. How could there be, Lily was adopted. Neither flesh nor blood kin to Petunia.”


At that moment Dobby popped back in interrupting the two and giving Remus time to let the information sink in, “Dobby has oilsey for greatest of wizards.”


“Thank you Dobby. If you would pour them into the water I would be thankful. I can feel Harry’s muscles starting to tighten, the oil will help to relax him.” Ar’Ron smiled at the pleased and happy looking house elf that carefully poured the oils into the rolling water before bouncing up and down in glee.


Looking over at the bodies of Vernon and Petunia Dursley Ar’Ron stared at them in disgust, “They really should be moved before Harry wakes up. “


“Dobby does it. Dobby take the bad fat man and bad long neck. But where’s Dobby puts them?” Dobby said looking around rapidly for a place to stash the bodies.


“Dobby how about putting them in the bedroom at the end of the hall,” Remus moved to the broken chair in the room and sat down heavily, several long held truths had just been shattered and he needed to regroup.


“Tell me Remus, What has happened to Harry for him to give up and for his magic to invoke the call of the soul mate?” Ar’Ron turned to look at the tired looking wizard deciding that this one did care deeply for the young man.


Dobby and Remus started to fill Ar’Ron in on Harry’s life, taking turns telling the stories, or as much as they knew. After a long tale where all his adventures at school came out, the sorcerer’s stone, the chamber of secrets, the freeing of Dobby. Sirius escaping Azkaban and Peter betrayal of Harry’s parents finally coming out, The Tri-Wizard Tournament with the resurrection of Voldermort, then finally the events of the past two weeks which included the death of Sirius in the department of Mysteries.


The more Ar’Ron heard the angrier he was, finally after digesting everything he heard his body started to glow with a fierce golden light. A splendid golden crown appeared on his head and magic could be felt like a physical thing all around. Imperiously his voice could be heard ringing in the very fabric of magic “Let it be known that Harry James Potter, son of James Potter, son of Lily of Elvendale adopted by the Evans family, From this moment on shall henceforth be considered an adult by magic. Guided in his journey through life by his soul mate, King Ar’Ron of the Astarii, As it is, so shall it be, so mote it be.”


With the lasts words spoken, the magic that was building up in the room exploded outwards across the countryside, the sound of ringing of a deep chime sounded as the magic responded to the words of the king of magic, everywhere that magic found Harry’s name it changed him from a child to an adult.


Dobby who a few moments before was wringing his hands in worry for Harry, looked up and saw the magic surround the Elf as the crown appeared on the head of the of Harry’s rescuer. He dropped to his knees with his arms crossed over his chest bowing low to the King of the ancient ones. And with his enhanced hearing Remus heard the awed whisper from Dobby “Majesty…the true ones have returned.”


Harry whispered as he started to wake up and felt the arms around his chest, opening his eyes he smiled up into the emerald eyes looking back at him, “You came.”


“Of course I did Mel’Anin. Even being worlds away did not stop me from coming to you when you called,” Ar’Ron smiled as he replied as Harry tensed up; looking around frantically seeing Remus and Dobby he started to relax slightly. Pulling him into a tighter hug Ar’Ron said “Relax, Mel’Anin, relax you are safe now.”


Releasing the tight hold he had on Harry, enough so he could slip out from underneath him, Ar’Ron wanted to be face-to-face with Harry, so when he asked his question he could see the responses, “Are you feeling alright, any pain or dizziness or ringing in the ears?”


“Thank you” Harry said with a smile, his face was breathtaking he thought, “I feel fine, really I do.”


“Dobby, downstairs you will find a kitchen, while I am sure it is not what you are used too, do you think you might be able to find enough food to make a nice soup and maybe some sandwich’s for Harry to eat?” Ar’Ron looking over to the house elf, knowing soon Harry’s body would demand to be fed.


Dobby nodded and with a snap of his fingers popped out.


“Do you think you feel strong enough to be able to sit on your own for another hour? You need to let the healing oils finish working on your muscles,” Ar’Ron asked looking deep in Harry’s eyes as he moved closer to the stairs, “If so I am going to get out and work on a place where we can spend the night in safety, I think you will find this a nice bit of magic.”


Harry nodded his head and watched as Ar’Ron walked up the steps exiting the hot tub. Eyes widening and part of his body becoming fully awake at the sight of a very naked and well shaped Elf exiting, mouth suddenly going dry as he looked on the body of his soul mate for the first time.


At that moment Dobby popped back in holding a tray with sandwiches and a cup of soup that he placed on the edge of the hot tub, causing him to tear his eyes away from the beautiful sight. “Thank you Dobby,” Harry now slightly confused as it sank in that the hyper house elf was here, eyes taking in the slightly weirdly dressed house elf noticing the vibrant miss-matched colors of socks and hats “Um… Dobby not to sound ungrateful, but how come you’re here?”


“Dobby feels Master Harry Potter Sir the greatest Wizard in the world in great pain, Dobby feels the call Sir,” Dobby anxiously wringing his hands feeling like he had done something wrong as he tried to explain why he was here.


“Um…OK” said a still confused Harry, tying to remember if he had ever read anything about something called ‘the call’.


Ar’Ron reached out just as a big fluffy towel appeared mid air, taking the towel as if this was an everyday occurrence he started to dry himself off. Looking over at an unmoving Remus Lupin, Ar’Ron waved his hand in front of Remus’s face snapping the werewolf out of his shocked state.


“Huh… What?” Remus exclaimed blinking rapidly as he leaned back away from the waving hand, the incredible feats of magic were unbelievable.


“Remus are you feeling alright?” Harry asked with a shy smile on his face, eyes never leaving his soul mates body as he dried himself off.


“It has been a long day Harry,” Remus replied shaking his head, “with one shock after another, but to answer your question I will be fine after the events have a chance to sink in.”


“Harry,” Ar’Ron laughed as he threw his towel towards the floor, it never made it there because it promptly disappeared before it had a chance to land. “Remus has had his whole world view turned upside down; not only that, it has been shredded.”


Ar’Ron took pity on the poor man and thought Harry needed to know too so while conjuring up a pair light leather skin pants, he turned to face Harry. “Now the first thing you should know is that an Elves magic is totally different than that of wizard kind,” putting the pants on he continued to explain to Harry the basics of Elven magic versus Wizarding magic. “We don’t wave around wands and say silly spells to get things done. For the most part all we need to do is think what we want and our magic shapes it for us.”


After lacing up the front of his pants Ar’Ron started to conjure up mithril, which he then shaped into a large wardrobe. Once finished he called forth planks of exotic Elven wood, he used it to cover the mithril hiding all the metal from sight, the large piece of furniture turned out to be a handsome piece when the work was finished. Then Ar’Ron took light blond Fairy Wood and shaped them into runes and fused it to the dark Elven wood in starburst patterns on the doors, conjuring an emerald colored crystal he fused it to the doors in an oval shape and pushed some magic into it causing it to briefly glow.


“Wow, it’s beautiful” Harry whispered slowly semi floating to the side of the hot tub so he could watch from a closer position.


“It is isn’t it? Also very spell resistant. This wardrobe will withstand all magic except class 3 Elven battle magic.” Ar’Ron gazed at the wardrobe with a satisfied grin on his face.


“Now unlike multiple compartment wizards trunks that you might be familiar with, this wardrobe has unlimited potential. In fact the magical space inside here is large enough to house a large castle and grounds, the wardrobe right now is only a link to said space, which gives it a greater advantage over a wizard’s trunk as I can make as many wardrobes or doorways as I want and link them to the same spot thus sharing the same dwelling.” Ar’Ron told them as he opened the doors of the wardrobe and a large misty shape took appeared in front of the doors. Ar’Ron continued to touch and pull at the misty shape, soon a six-story floor plan took shape complete with entry hall, bedrooms, kitchens, six-story library and all the conveyances of a plush palace. A small tunnel connecting the palace to a series of domes that housed the grounds and gardens each with a different season and one that was tropical appeared in the mist. Giving it one final look over he grinned as he nodded his satisfaction, deciding that it was as complete for right now.


Hands glowing he pushed the slowly rotating image into the wardrobe chanting an incantation in Elvish. Suddenly a brilliant blinding flash of light flew out of the wardrobe like a search light as the two images fused together and the doors shut. “Well one chore out of the way, in another couple of hours the magic will have finished connecting everything you saw in the mist.” Ar’Ron walked over to the side of the hot tub near where Harry was sitting.


“How are you feeling Harry, Ready to get out?” Ar’Ron grinned as he plucking another big fluffy towel out of the air by reaching for it.


Harry thought for a moment and stretched without pain, wading over to the steps he started to climb up and out reaching for the towel once his feet touched the dirty floor, “Actually I’m feeling great. I haven’t felt this good in well forever it seems.”


Smiling Ar’Ron sat on the edge of the hot tub taking in the beautiful scene of Harry drying himself in front of him and noticing his very nice equipment, “Would you prefer shorts or pants to wear for now?”


“Pants please,” Harry was trying to keep from getting another erection, as all of a sudden became shy and tried to hide behind the towel.


Handing over a conjured pair of pants that matched his Ar’Ron waved his hand under him, vanishing the hot tub with a thought as he stood up, replacing it with four comfortable chairs.


“Remus, what time is your shift over and who is your replacement?” Harry looked over at the last link to his parents sitting on the broken chair as he pulled the pants on; liking the feeling of the leather pants a lot as he laced the fronts up, once more having to control an erection.


Remus glanced at his watch before grinning, harry looked good in those pants, very Elven, “Well I have another hour before Tonks shows up to replace me, she’s on till midnight, then its Mundungus till 6:00 a.m. And I agree we need to keep recent developments from Albus at all costs.”


Ar’Ron raised his hand above his head and giving it a twirl revealed the magic strands laid over the house, moving several of the strands around with his hands he smiled at being able to work with magic again, “Remus I have altered the anti-apparation wards to allow only you to pass through. When your shift is over and your replacement sees you walk down the street, clearing the anti-apparation wards and Apparating out, you can just pop back in and no one will know that you are here.”


Ar’Ron turned to were Dobby was trying to blend into the background, “Do you think there is enough food in the kitchen to fix a nice big dinner and a decent breakfast for all of us?”


“Dobby thinks so, Dobby can always pops to Hogwarts for missing pieces” Dobby squinted up his eyes in thought.


Harry leaned over and gave him a hug, causing the house elf to squeak in delight, “Thank you Dobby you’re a good friend.”


Dobby jumped up and launched himself at Harry, giving Harry’s legs a huge hug, “Master Harry Potter Sir is calling Dobby friend,” Dobby sobbed out with tears of happiness falling from his eyes.


“Of course I am Dobby, because you are my friend.” Harry hugged him back, eyes never leaving his soul mates.


“Dobby starts dinner now,” Dobby said as he snapped his fingers and popped out.


“I better get back out to my post, just in case Tonks shows up early. Oh by the way where is your cousin Harry?” Remus looked a little nervous wondering what the Elf would do if Harry’s big whale of a cousin came home before he could apparated back inside to head him off by stunning him.


“In jail, he was caught raping some girl his gang caught. That is what started this whole mess; Uncle Vernon blamed my freakish ways for making Dudley do it, as that is the only way the bloody git would do something like that,” Harry spat out in anger kicking a book at his school trunk.


Ar’Ron stood up his chair disappearing in a shimmer of sparkling dust, as he approached Harry’s chair it changed, lengthening into a couch. And he sat down and pulled Harry over into his embrace, eh looked deeply into Harry’s eyes so he would know the truth of his words, “They can no longer hurt you Mel’Anin; their souls are rotting in hell right now.”



Holding Harry tightly as he shook from his soundless sobs of relief Ar’Ron looked him in the eyes after he settled down somewhat before telling him, “In the morning we will go to Gringotts and get your finances straightened out and make sure Dumbledore has no further influence over you.” Seeing that Harry acknowledged the truth in his words Ar’Ron brushed his fingers through Harry’s hair as he fell asleep in his comforting embrace. “You have to be tired still, lay back and rest now I will wake you up for supper in a couple of hours.”





Several hours later Dobby popped back in, interrupting the quiet conversation between Remus and Ar’Ron bowing to his Majesty, “Dinner is ready but where’s dobby to serve it?” The hyper house elf bouncing up and down asked as he looked around the room.


“Let me wake Harry and we’ll eat inside,” he pointed to the wardrobe, “the living space finished linking itself half an hour ago so we might as well go ahead and move in now.” Ar’Ron gently shook Harry’s shoulder to wake him. “Wake up Mel’Anin, time for dinner.” Ar’Ron smiled as Harry tried to wake up pushing his face back into his chest as he tried to go back to sleep.


Harry woke up with his face on Ar’Ron’s chest with a small smile he stretched his body while trying to keep as much contact as he could with the comforting embrace of Ar’Ron’s body, Harry opened his eyes with a grin as he stood up, “I’m famished.”


Standing up Ar’Ron reached over for Harry’s hand intertwining their fingers and led him to the wardrobe. Placing Harry’s other hand over the gemstone; he covered the hand with his own as he moved behind Harry, pressing his body tight to his soul mates before gently pushing his magic through Harry, causing the gem to flash deep green and the doors to open. “There you have been keyed in, so with a touch you can access our new home on the road at anytime you wish. So what do you say to breaking in the new dining room?” Ar’Ron whispered into Harry’s ear delighted in feeling the shivers pass through Harry’s still form.


Laughing the three of them walked through the doors into the grand hallway where Harry and Remus froze in awe of the splendor, looking around them it seemed to be a perfect blend of forest glen and posh palace, “ WOW” they said in unison.


Walking directly ahead and through the arch Ar’Ron glanced over his shoulder, “Well are you hungry or not? Dinner is this way,” laughing as he walked on as the other two ran to catch up.


Harry and Remus looked at each other and hurried to catch up. As they walked through the arch they saw an incredible dining room with a huge table that could seat twenty comfortably. Ar’Ron was just sitting down at the opposite end so they hurriedly walked over and joined him sitting on either side of him.


“Looks like Dobby went all out for dinner,” Ar’Ron grinned as he pointed at all the food spread out in front of them. Roast beef, potatoes, and roasted vegetables and somehow Dobby even found time to bake fresh bread.


By unspoken agreement the three of them talked of trivial matters as they ate supper. Dobby popped in as they finished stating sternly, “Dobby takes care of dishes.”


“Dobby I consider you my friend and part of my family, you know this right?” seeing the tears in Dobby’s eyes when he nodded his head Harry continued, tapping his finger on the table to make his point, “so from now on you eat when we eat, that means the same table.”


Seeing Dobby was going to try to say it was not his place Ar’Ron spoke up before he could say anything, “Dobby feel free to take anything from the outside kitchen, like food or pans or such to stock our kitchen, then when we get to Diagon Ally you can properly stock the kitchen to your liking.”


Ar’Ron pushed back from the table and walked out of the dining room, seeing a look of pure bliss come across the little house elf’s face his words stopping him before he popped out, “Dobby we are going to be in the sitting room for awhile. When you’re done snitching what you want to take from the outside kitchen would you join us please, having your input in our discussion would help us greatly.”


Following Ar’Ron out of the dining room and past the large oak tree on the left they stopped in shock after being led into the sitting room that was more like a grassy meadow with relaxing chairs scattered about, nothing like the stuffy formal sitting room of 12 Grimmauld place. Harry and Remus once again looked at each other with awed expressions and let out a “Wow” at the same time.


Ar’Ron Chuckled to himself, amused at their reactions to their home away from home, “Hopefully your vocabulary improves when you see the rest of the place.”


“Harry I think the best way to start off is by doing a knowledge transfer, this way you can be quickly brought up to speed with what has been done since I arrived, I will also get a look at what you have gone through. Doing this will let me be better prepared to fill the gaps in your knowledge and take over your instruction in magic,” Ar’Ron said as he watched Harry’s panic stricken face, “Are you going to be comfortable doing this?”


“Will you be able to see everything?” asked Harry in a quiet voice looking down at the ground ashamed at how he was raised.


“Look at me Mel’Anin.” Reaching over Ar’Ron gently lifted Harry’s head up by the chin, once he was staring into the ashamed face he looked deep into Harry’s eyes, “You have nothing to be ashamed of. I will not judge you, or pity you.”


Harry took a deep breath gaining confidence from not seeing pity only love in the eyes staring back at him, “Ok, let’s do it. What do I need to do?”


“Place you fingertips on my temples as I do the same to you,” Ar’Ron explained as he placed his fingers on either side of Harry’s temples.


Hesitantly Harry placed his fingers alongside Ar’Ron’s temples, trying to place them in the same spots he felt being Ar’Ron touching him, letting the breath he took out slowly as he closed his eyes, trying to relax as he felt the Ar’Ron’s mind brush gently against his. The feeling of Ar’Ron’s mind nudging and caressing his felt nothing like the pain and anguish he felt during Occlumency training with Snape, it felt gentle, warm and welcoming, like a part of him had finally come home.


After ten minutes or so they both broke contact and Harry opened his eyes to see the gentle smile and loving look that Ar’Ron was throwing his way. “Wow, Thank you, I have honestly never felt anything like that before,” Harry whispered all of a sudden very tired.


“Now to lighten the confusion of your anxious friend here,” Ar’Ron said with a smirk looking over to where Remus was sitting staring at them. “I did not dwell to deeply in Harry’s memories but enough to know what his time at Hogwarts was like and what he has learned so far, in return I gave Harry the knowledge of Elvish customs and language and as it was going so smoothly I decided to finish off his magical Wizarding education by passing along all the knowledge in that area that I hold, which if I do say so is quite a lot, which will allow us to start fresh with Elven magic.”


Ar’Ron looked back to Harry after seeing Remus relax, “Harry as you sleep tonight all the knowledge that I gave you will be cataloged and stored by your mind, I set it up so your mind will automatically take what I gave you and make it part of you. You will still have to practice to get the wand movements and such down if you want to hide the fact you no longer need a wand, but you should be able to recall and cast correctly at a moment’s notice everything I just gave you inside of a week I would say.”


“Okay,” Remus said slowly, now that that was out of the way he wanted answers, “Harry can you tell me what you meant when you said to Ar’Ron ‘you came’?” Remus looked over at the young man he considers to be like his own son at times.


“Well I have been researching for some time in secret magical bonds,” Harry sighed as he explained one of his secrets, “trying to find a way to break the connection I have with Voldermort. I never did find a way, but I did find a few ancient rituals that would bring ones soul mate to them in times of great stress or need.”


“And the very act of reading the spell caused it to be cast,” Ar’Ron shook his head as he thought about the spell Harry had read. Seeing Remus was still confused he added, “Which started his magic to start searching for his soul mate. And as his need to be loved for just Harry and not the Boy Who Lived became greater with his despair, it caused an increase of his magic to channel itself into the spell, so that the search widened to other realms.” Sitting back as he looked at Harry’s magic now that it was unblocked and compared it to the core before he freed it, “Then to top it off after what happened that night in the department of mysteries and Dumbledore heaping the prophecy on him without giving him time to recover before sending him to his oh so fucking lovely relatives to be abused once again, the blocks fell briefly on his magic allowing him to connect to the realm I was trapped in.”


“Trapped?” came from a confused Remus, wondering what he was talking about.


“Yes trapped, in my hast to explore a new gateway, I entered a realm where magic does not exist and does not work before checking to see what I was walking into. So I was trapped there until Harry here briefly connected the two of us, and then with the help of Dobby who actually added his magic to create a gate, I was able to come home and well here we are,” Ar’Ron stretching his body in the chair.


Getting up out of the chair Ar’Ron reached for Harry’s hand helping him up, he looked over his shoulder at Remus, “How about the brief tour before heading on to bed?” Seeing the nods from both Harry and Remus, Ar’Ron steered them back into the main hall.


“The main floor is set up to handle and serve all formal functions. There is no out of bounds area’s down here. The staircase on the left leads to the guest wing.” Pointing over at the stairs across from the huge oak, “This is where non-family members will stay while visiting. The second floor is set up almost the same as the family wing, which is up the right staircase.” Turning and pointing at the large fairy oak with its glittering lights flitting through the bracnches, “Here you will find a private dining area, exercise area, which includes a pool, small library and a common room as the central core. The library is only one floor and has copies of rare but not dangerous tomes. The other four floors are guestrooms.” Ar’Ron pointed out


“The family wing is only accessible to family members, any others who try to access this area will find themselves in a cell in the holding area below us as soon as the set foot on the second floor landing. The family dining room is where we will meet for meals unless guests are present from now on. The family library entrance is on this floor and also one of the tunnels to access the garden domes.” Ar’Ron told them as they climbed the steps to the second floor landing.


“The family library is immense with the first two stories reserved for Wizarding magic, the next floor is reserved for magical tomes of beings like dwarves and goblins and such. The last three floors are reserved for Elven magical tomes, there are self up-dating charms in place over the whole library, they will add any new tomes written even if they are private family tomes not in circulation minus family diaries that is, plus the library contains all known magical tomes throughout time.” Seeing the hungry look in Remus’s eyes Ar’Ron laughed, “Down, Remus, you are not allowed in there till tomorrow night after we get back from shopping.”


To Harry’s chuckles Remus pouted, whining out, “Fine be that way,” sniffing in mock crying even tossing his head to the side downcast before not being able to hold it in any longer and breaking into laughter of his own.


Ar’Ron Continued as he led them to the stairs to the third floor, “The third floor is set up as the family’s bedrooms. The fourth floor is set up as the administration area and also has a few classrooms and training areas including a dueling area. The last two floors are empty at the moment and have yet to be assigned a function, currently they will be used as storage.” Ar’Ron pointed as they walked past the staircase leading up to the next level and down the hall stopping in front of one of the bedroom doors.


“Remus this is your suite of rooms, feel free to make any changes you want if you need help moving or toning down the plants let me know, and tomorrow we will stop and get your things so the move in will be official. My rooms are at the end of the hall with Harry’s on the left side. See you at breakfast,” Ar’Ron threw over his shoulder as he continued walking down the hall with Harry at his side.


“Harry you can either use your rooms or stay in mine with me, the choice is up to you,” Ar’Ron hoping Harry felt comfortable enough to join him.


“I would like to join you if you do not mind.” Harry said looking up at Ar’Ron shyly, yet eager to sleep next to his soul mate for the first time.


Ar’Ron was pleased and smiled lovingly at Harry as he whispered out, “I would like that very much Mel’Anin.”


As the two of them walked into the master bedroom Harry looked around in awe, walking a little further into the sitting area constantly looking around he saw several elegant bookshelves near a large desk; the walls were covered in vines and flowers. The archway looked to be formed from flowering trees he thought, it was just amazing. Through the archways were the bedroom and a bathroom off that, that put the prefects bathroom to shame waterfalls surrounding a pool with gently rolling waters that reminded him of the hot tub from earlier. “Wow…. I seem to be using that word a lot tonight …but WOW,” Harry didn’t know what else to say.


“If your muscles are still sore we can relax in the whirlpool and sit under the water fall or go straight to bed,” Ar’Ron hugged Harry from behind, cheek to cheek.


“I’m fine, more tired than anything, since we have a lot to do tomorrow I think it’s time for bed,” Harry yawned as he eyed the huge bed.



“Left or right side, of the bed” Ar’Ron asked as he started to untie his leather pants. Not hearing anything Ar’Ron looked over his shoulder as he stepped out of his pants, he noticed Harry sound asleep on the bed. After stepping out of his pants Ar’Ron walked over to where Harry was asleep and removed his pants slowly, gazing at the wonderful body laying there, tucking him in under the covers before going to the other side of the bed he laid down pulling the covers up on his side eh snuggled next to Harry and closed his eyes letting sleep take him.
