In a quiet, home a man, if he could be called that, in dark robes walked down a hallway to a certain door that was shut, in hopes of keeping him out. His name was Voldemort, and he was the most feared wizard in all of England, if not the world. Blasting the door open with his wand, he entered a room, where a woman with long red hair and dazzling green eyes looked at him in horror. Walking ever so slowly towards his goal the woman rushed him pleading for mercy of her and her newborn son. Yes, a baby no dangerous than a declawed house cat with no teeth, was the man's goal. Ignoring the woman's pleas for him to spare her son he slowly raised his wand at the crib that held the unsuspecting child. Determined to not let any harm come to the child she shielded him from Voldemort. Sneering at the annoying woman he continued his casting of his spell.
"Avada Kedavra." He hissed as green lightning jumped from his wand and hit the woman.
While the spell flashed, Voldemort failed to notice the flash that had surrounded the crib for a brief second. The woman now dead on the ground, posed no more of a problem for Voldemort as he once again raised his wand, pointing it at the child.
"Avada Kedavra." He hissed again, this time the green lightning hit the child. But, something wasn't right, Voldemort thought. Why was he losing power? Feeling extremely weakened Voldemort took what energy he had left and apparated away, failing to check if the child was dead or not, or notice the young woman that showed up a few seconds later.
(Section Break)
Outside the house Sol'Lez saw the green flash coming from a window, before feeling Alar's energy. As quickly as she felt it, it was gone, knowing that something big was happening Sol'Lez entered the house. When she entered she looked around, and noted the large mess that was once the living room, and lying on the ground was a man with unruly black hair and glasses. By the look on his face Sol'Lez knew the man was dead, and quickly headed up stairs, as she reached the top of the stairs she saw another green flash come from one of the rooms. Running down the hall she entered just in time to see a man in black robes disappear.
Walking into the room she saw a woman on the ground and by the look of her chest not rising or falling, Sol'Lez concluded that she had faced the same fate as the man downstairs. Ever so carefully she walked up to the crib and smiled at the child sleeping. She could tell by the slight stirring, that the child was indeed alive. Upon closer inspection, she saw the lightning shaped scar on his forehead.
"Oh Alar, sacrificing yourself so that you could forcefully awaken his element, that was most reckless of you." Sol'Lez whispered as a single tear slipped down her thin cheek. She had always been close to Alar, ever since he was just a little boy. As Sol'Lez reached for the baby she heard thunderous steps behind her. Turning around she saw a man, that was clearly too big to be just a human.
"I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the child miss." He said in a gruff voice, though Sol'Lez could clearly tell that he meant no harm.
"And may I ask just what you want with this baby, Mister…." Sol'Lez asked not taking a step away from the child.
"Name's Hagrid, and I'm not here to cause trouble, I will do what I have to, to keep that child safe." Hagrid said taking a step forward hoping the woman might be intimidated, she wasn't.
"Well Hagrid that would put us in the same boat, since I too will not let this child come to any harm." Sol'Lez said while turning to face the baby once again. Before Haggrid could respond, there were two cracks and an old man with a long beard and blue robes, and an old woman with graying red hair entered the room. Upon seeing the body of Lily Potter on the floor the woman rush over to her. But, knew it was too late.
"Hagrid what is taking you so long? I thought you would have left by now." The old man said in a gentle voice, as he looked at Hagrid.
"I'm sorry Dumbledore, I would have been on my way already, but it seems I ran into a bit of a delay." Hagrid said glancing at the woman by the baby crib. At hearing the name Dumbledore, Sol'Lez quickly turned around to face the old wizard.
"It's been a while Albus." Sol'Lez said while looking directly at Dumbledore. Upon seeing the woman's face, Dumbledore gasped. He would recognize her anywhere, the long black hair, the azure eyes, full lips, and creamy white skin.
"I see that time has treated you far better than me Sol'Lez, you haven't changed a bit since I last saw you." Dumbledore said, truth be told Sol'Lez was Dumbledore's one and only crush from when he was still a child.
"A lot can change in 157 years, Albus. Last time I remember seeing you, you hadn't even started growing facial hair." Sol'Lez smiled sweetly, at the fond memories.
"Just who is this woman Albus." The woman that apparated with Dumbledore asked.
"Oh, yes where are my manners, this is Sol'Lez, better known as mother nature. Sol'Lez I would like to introduce my friends Hagrid and Minerva." Albus said while looking at Sol'Lez with a twinkle in his eyes. Quickly looking at Sol'Lez with shock, Hagrid and Minerva quickly looked her over. She looked as human as could be. Not even her muggle looking clothes gave any hint as to who she really was.
"Surprising isn't it?" Sol'Lez asked while the two studied her. "Anyway, Albus, you know I wouldn't be here without a reason."
"Indeed, and what would that reason be?"
Turning around once again to face the sleeping baby, Sol'Lez carefully picked up the baby and held him close to her. Turning around to face the others Sol'Lez looked down at the child and then back to Dumbledore. "Why him of course."
"And why would Mother Nature be interested in young Harry Potter?" Albus asked although he knew the answer.
"Isn't it obvious Albus? Harry is an elemental." Sol'Lez replied in a "no duh" kind of tone. Quickly recovering from the information on the baby Minerva quickly asked what proof was there for her claim.
"First off, Madam McGonagall, being as I am Mother Nature it is my duty to know who is and is not an elemental, secondly he was discovered by Alar, the previous lightning elemental." Sol'Lez stated, annoyed that someone would ask a rather dumb question such as that.
"I see and where is my brother?" Albus asked, Hagrid and Minerva were once again finding themselves shocked at what they were learning that night, neither of them knew of Dumbledore having a brother. However it was not the look of his friends that Dumbledore was staring intently at, it was the look on Sol'Lez's face that gave Dumbledore his answer, quickly looking at the child in her arms, it was then that he noticed the scar on the baby's forehead.
"He is dead isn't he?" It was obvious that the question was rhetorical, but Sol'Lez answered anyway.
"I'm afraid so."
Dumbledore stood quietly as he digested the information, the usual twinkle that could be found in his eye's no longer there. "I see, so what are you going to do with Harry?"
"I will take him to my castle and train him myself since Alar isn't here."
"Very well, however, I have a favor to ask of you Sol'Lez." Sol'Lez was once again annoyed, she had always hated when someone asked for a favor from her. Many people asked for what they could not have, and she had a strong feeling the Dumbledore was going to ask for something along those lines. "I wish that you would send Harry to Hogwarts when he is of age."
"Albus, you know that elementals aren't allowed to partake in human events, there must be a balance." Sol'Lez stated
"I don't wish for Harry to do anything more than live a normal life." Dumbledore tried to reason.
"Wizards like Harry don't have normal lives Albus, especially when those wizards are elementals." Sol'Lez said dryly.
"True as that may be I, give you my word that I will keep Harry from partaking in anything that you wouldn't allow."
Sol'Lez's brow furrowed, she knew that Dumbledore wouldn't take no for an answer even, if it was Mother Nature that he was dealing with. "Fine, I will allow Harry to go to your little school, but I will also be sending the other three elements with him. As I said there has to be a balance and I cannot allow one element to be stronger than the other in any way."
Dumbledore slowly nodded. "I take it you will want to work out the details when the time comes?" he asked.
"Yes, until then I'll be seeing you." Sol'Lez said as she disappeared.
Once again recovering from shock, Minerva McGonagall composed herself and turned to face Dumbledore. "Correct me if I'm wrong Albus, but didn't you say that Harry would be safest at his relative's house?"
"That was before I found out he was an elemental, now the safest place possible for him would be with her." Dumbledore said referring to Sol'Lez.
"I see, well let us finish what we came here to do." McGonagall said as she moved over to the woman's body. Casting a quick spell she sent the body to Hogwarts, headed downstairs and did the same to man's. Now that they knew that Harry was safe, the three would return to Hogwarts and hold a special funeral for their past students and friends, Lily and James Potter.
