Albus Dumbledore was sleeping as peacefully as one could in a full body bind and on the floor of a cell in a dank dungeon. He was dreaming of the day he restored peace and order to his life. The day Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort destroyed each other. It was only a matter of time before that would happen. His dream then changed to the day Tom took Harry in full view of several witnesses at Gringotts. After a few weeks, he had announced that the Order had found the savior and he was now being kept hidden and out of the public eye. For his own protection. Several parents had still pulled their children out of his school and got them private tutors. Even the Weasleys. When he had questioned them about how they could afford it; they smiled and said that Lady Longbottom had gottn one for Neville and that Ginny was more than welcome to come to Longbottom Manor. She felt that a friendly familiar face would help the boy be calm around the tutor. Must have worked. He passed his NEWTs with flying colors. Lady Longbottom was so impressed by Ginny's help that she offered to pay for the rest of hers AND the twins education. Since they had decided to return to complete their educations. He was thankful that most of the Slytherins were still at the school. Not to mention the Half blood and Muggleborn students whose parents didn't know any better. Of course, there were also the Pure bloods with parents under his control. A lot of those being friends of Potter.
Suddenly, the old man was wide awake as an inferno passed through his body. It was pain like he had never felt before. Every nerve in his body was as if was on fire while simultaneously being ground to bits. Sweat was drippin from all his pores which intensified the feeling tenfold. Then, his body started convulsing; further worsening the severity of the pain. The castle shook like it was falling off it's foundation.
“Did you feel that?” and “What was that?” was said by many this night. Including Harry Potter. Who sat bolt upright in his bed.
“Sev, did you just feel that?”
“Yes. What in all that is heavenly do you think it was?”
“You don't think he broke free”
Quickly throwing on robes, the two made their way downstairs to investigate what shook the castle. They headed for the study as that seemed to be where everyone gathered for everything. Upon entering, they saw that almost everyone else was already there. Everyone except Tom and Ginny.
“Oh Gods, Sev. You don't think....GINNY!!!” Harry started then ran to the door and hugged the shocked looking ginger girl.
“Harry. I need to breathe. You have to let me go!” she said laughing.
“Sorry, Gin. The castle shook. Everyone was here but you guys. I thought...I thought....” Harry stopped speaking as his jaw dropped open. Behind Ginny, coming through the study door; was his Uncle Tom. As he looked when Harry saw him in the diary in his second year. As a 17 year old.
Several things then happened that some would never believe. First, noticing that Harry had gone silent, everyone in the room turned to see a strange man in the door. Most of them then pulled their wands and pointed them at the familiar stranger. Next, Harry hugged said man. Then, the room suddenly filled with house elves. The little creatures moved to surround the newcomer in a protective way. Finally, the head elf froze everyone in the room; except for Harry, Tom and Ginny; as she approached
Harry.
“What's going on, Moeder?” Harry asked looking between the petite elf, his uncle, and Ginny.
“Harry, calm down. Sit and I will explain what I can.” And he did just that. Very cautiously. Keeping his eyes on his friends and the house elves as he did so.
“OK. You know that Tom was cursed with the compulsion to destroy everything Muggle or non-magical?” Harry nodded. “And the Dufus twins cursed me?” Again, he nodded. “Well, it took Tom a while longer” she mock glared at her love “to complete the bond. And after we, um, you know.....the room shook. No, not like that. Then, Tom was surrounded by a golden light which formed a huge ball that completely engulfed him, lifting him off the floor for only a few seconds before it also engulfed me. It put him back down on the bed and took off out of the door. When we could see again, I immediately noticed the change in Tom.” Ginny then got up and made each of them a strong drink.
“Sooooo, he just de-aged on his own?” Harry asked still slightly confused.
“Not on his own” came a voice from the doorway.
The three turned to look at the newcomer and Tom promptly passed out. Ginny rushed over to his side and Harry ran to the door to hug his grandmother for the first time.
“How....wh....did you.....MERLIN'S BALLS!!!!”
“Harry. Calm yourself. I think I can further explain. Remember how I told you that your mother found me and kept me with her and talked to me about her discoveries? Well...I was bound by magic so I couldn't say anything until now. The touch of willing love, did infact, refer to Tommy finding his life-mate.” She paused to smile at Ginny. And Tom, who had been enervated in time to hear all of what Tamah had said so far. “Once they bonded, the remaining curses and spells were broken and he was resotred to how he was BEFORE the first was cast. Which, as you know, he was only 17 when THAT man first got ahold of my brother. And, thankfully, since we are twins and share our life force and soul; I was also restored to the same age.” Lady Riddle was now seated on the couch holding her grandson's hands. As he burst into tears she pulled him into a hug and held him while he cried his happy tears.
Tom and Ginny, who had tears in their eyes as well, joined the other two on the couch in a family hug/cry fest.
After a few moments, the quartet calmed. While Harry pulled away from the Matriarch she waved her hand and handed him a silk handkerchief.
“How did....Tom?” she looked to her brother. However, it was Ginny that spoke.
“I'm not sure that curse actually works. I did magic to dress us before we came down. And I also enervated Tom when he passed out. Maybe this is where Moeder comes in.”
“Thank you Mistress Ginerva. Before I begin” she turned to the rest of the still frozen people in the room, “I will release you. But, be warned: any that intends to harm my masters will be instantly put in the dungeons.” With the last word spoken, the others came alive again. Those with wands drawn quickly put them away.
“Wow Harry! This is some serious shit!” Neville exclaimed. Earning him shocked looks and giggles from all present. Including Moeder.
“Yes, Lord Longbottom. This is. I will explain a few things before I get to what happened tonight.” Moeder paused and waved her hands to indicate that everyone should make themselves comfortable. When they were all settled and situated she began again.
“House elves have been around since the beginning of Our Mother Earth. It is her that all magic comes from. WE were her first children. All humans, and some other creatures, are descended from from us. I, myself, was the first. My mate was the second. You did not start looking the way you do for thousands of years. Our mother humbly allows us to live on and watch over those that the Magic flows strongly through. A thousand years ago, we, those of us here now, chose Salazar Slytherin. Years later, my mate chose another he thought was strong with the magic. It turned out, that one was strong with the magic of others. It is not the same thing. Stolen magic keeps the thief from aging properly and forms a shield around them. Not very long after, my mate was killed by the man. That is the only way we can die, to be killed. Mother told me that my vengence would be had when the wrongs against my family were corrected. You see, we are very powerful but we cannot use our magic to harm or cause harm. This night, I plead with Mother for a favor. One that I was willing to return to her side for.” Here, she stopped and looked directly at Tom. “I could not do as you asked. I could not allow it. Not as long as there is breath in my body. I love you too much. You have always treated us better than the others. You grew special in my heart. It almost killed me that day when he cursed you and stole your sister from us. No, we could not stop him. You are very honorable for what you were trying to do. I just could not bear to let it happen.”
Everyone looked at him with curiosity as the man hung his head in what seemed like shame.
“What did you do?” was asked by the lady of the house.
When he didn't answer, Ginny turned to face him and lifted his face so she could look him in the eyes.
“I'm so sorry. I couldn't stand the thought of hurting you. If the compulsion to destroy you overwhelmed me, I had made a potion to take my own life. I made arrangements for my wife to be taken care of by converting one hundred million galleons into Muggle money and buying her a fully staffed castle in the Muggle world. Stipulating in my will that should her money ever run out, an additional hundred million be given to her. I gave the deed and will to Moeder and asked her to give it to you, Severus, after I was gone.” Tom said the last in not more then a whisper. Yet, the entirety of the room heard him.
“You stupid, inconsiderate, self-centered, self-righteous.....” Things started flying around the room. Harry had lost his control upon hearing his uncle was just going to give up and leave them all.
“ENOUGH! I will have none of that young man.” Harry was so startled by outburst from his grandmother that he instantly calmed. He was so greatful Severus had come to sit beside him as soon as he was unfrozen as the man now held him.
“Did you ever stop to think what would happen to the rest of us if you did that? More than just Ginerva love you.” The potion master asked his friend.
“I am sorry, Truly I am. But, Sev, do you not recall the day you brought Harry to me and all but begged me to kill you instead?” Severus smiled sadly and nodded. Shocking many in the room that was not aware of that fact. “You see, you were willing to die to keep from seeing any harm befall the one you love. I am willing to do the same. As would anyone else in this room.” The man finished
“I could not allow that to happen. We knew of the curses upon you. No, we could not break them. They were of a magic not from Mother. Once I discovered your intentions, I begged Mother to help in exchange for me returning to her. I have watched over this part of the family for so long that all of you, especially you, Master Tom, have grown in my heart. As you love Ginerva so much, I love you. But with the heart of a mother. So, your intended sacrifice shall be mine instead. Mother can not replace Magic once it has been stolen. However, she is able to recall it to her. This night, she has. All the magic the evil one has stolen was returned to Mother Earth. Also, you, my child, have always held so much of the Mother in you that she has shared your gift with those you love the most.” She looked toward Ginny then Tamah. Both with tears streaming down their cheeks. Turning to Harry she continued. “You are Mother's favorite. Even through all you have had to endure, your heart and soul are pure of evil. So much so, that you inspire love in those that have never felt it before. That is why Mother gifted you with so much. More than any that have come before you. And with the gift to see the love in and for others.”
Moeder paused again and moved to Neville, “You, my child, have had to endure much as well. And also kept your heart pure. You gave comfort to others no matter how it make you feel. Hence, the Mother's gift to you of the ability to feel others emotions to better comfort and protect them. You are a great person and She is strong in you as well. Always remember, the first impression of feeling is usually the correct one.”
Now she walked to Hermione and Remus. “You, child, are knowledge. Your yearning and desire to always seek more is why you were gifted with the ability to see and feel others magic. You will always learn as new people come into your life. And as for you,” She looked directly at Remus, “you opened your heart to ones that was not yours, did your best to love and take care of them despite obstacles. You opened your heart to the Favorite and love him as your own. Mother appreciates it immensely and in return...when life is new to you, the mona will be vanquished.” Now, she returned to Harry but focused her attention to his side. Severus. “You have been gifted with the power to right the wrongs. You must not force them onto people. They must choose as your kin had to do for so long.” Turning back to Tom, she smiled and embraced him “It is time. She calls for my return” As Moeder placed a kiss on his forehead she vanished in a blinding white light. Leaving everyone in the room in confusion and tears.
After Moeder had “left”, most in the room returned to their beds. Hermione, Remus, Tom, Ginny, Tamah, Draco, the twins, Luna, Pansy, Seamus, Lucius, Petunia, Narcissa, Rabastian, Rodolphus, Neville, Harry and Severus remained. All lost in thought about the night's events.
Finally, Harry stood up and started pacing. Thinking out loud.
“So, Tom and Ginny bonded. Breaking the curses on Tom and freeing Grandmother; putting them to the age they were before the first curse was put on him making them younger than me. Then, at the request of our house elf, who turns out to be the first being, his magic was split between him, Ginny and his sister. And then said being went to each of us and told us about our “gifts” we have. Dumbledore had been stripped of all the magic he has stolen throughout the years .And that I am THE Mother Earth's favorite child and the most powerful wizard. EVER!!! WOW. That's a lot to take in, but what about all that other stuff. 'Ne, HELP!!!” Harry pleaded with his best friend as he flopped back down on the couch.
It was Neville that spoke. “I can only speak for myself. As you know, I can feel other's emotions and can project my feelings onto others. And, Hermione, you have been driving me CRAZY!! I couldn't figure out before, but now, after hearing what Moeder said about first impressions......Um, 'Ne, you are pregnant. When I touched you earlier, I could feel two distinct sets of emotions but I put it off to how wonky your moods have been lately. And that werewolves can't reproduce. However, now, I am certain.” Neville finished smiling at his friends.
Remus had a look of anger, then shock on his face. Anger thinking his mate had been unfaithful, but then he would've been able to smell it on her. Then, shock that it had to be true and explained so much. He remembered Lily being pregnant and the emotional turmoil she was in the whole time. He kissed his Hermione as she sat in stunned silence.
Severus stood and addressed the room of his closest friends and family. “I believe that she was telling me that I should continue forward in my research in curing various “ailments” of our world. My current project is a potion that not only nullifies the effects of the Cruciatus curse, it reverses them as well.” He turned his head toward the gasp he heard as he finished and smiled at Neville. Who then jumped up and hugged him. Eliciting a smile from all those present.
“Not to change the subject, but you do realize that you are now the Uralt Prime along with everything else, Harry?” Lucius, ever the politician, stated.
“That's right! The oldest, most powerful. That is you now, Scar-head!!!” Draco teased.
“Careful Ferret-face, You wouldn't want to piss me off now would you?” Harry grinned as he teased back.
“Well, that just leaves Remus' gift. Once we figure out who this Mona is.” Narcissa brought to everyone's attention from her perch on Rabastan's lap.
“Uncle Remy?” Pansy inquired from the man who took care of her the most while she recuperated. It was his words that comforted her the most about not being able to have children. As he could relate to wanting and not having them.
“To the best of my knowledge, I know no one by that name.” He answered
The entire room broke out in discussion about who Mona is and what it would entail to vanquish her and what that would do for the werewolf.
Finally, Luna stood, pulling Seamus with her and she led him to the door. The couple had everyone's attention from their all-of-the-sudden decision to leave. Before walking out, the petite blond girl turned and smiled in that dreamily way so unique to her and simply said....
“When the baby is born, the moon will no longer affect you. Remus, you will be cured. Silly people, don't you know that 'mona' is Old English for 'moon'?”
“Of course!!!” was shouted by many.
Meanwhile, in the dungeons, a mysterious wind blew a large pile of dust away. And the next morning, when the sun rose, the whole Earth glowed with a happiness that was felt by all.
