Radagast

Daeran POV

Alma was really nice, like Legolas she had a nice smile. I hope I could spend more time with her. So far I had met Camus, Seiveil and Kenia.

Camus and Seiveil both worked ironwork making weapons like swords and daggers. When meeting them I couldn't help but stare at all the swords that lined the walls.

I had learned there were more elves who worked here, but most were elsewhere and that most elves could make their own weapons.

 They had offered me to come visit and learn a thing a two. It sounded like a lot of fun and I had agreed. I then met Kenia in one of the halls. Legolas had said she mainly worked with horses and other animals.

She made saddles and other horse equipment. "Do you know how to ride a horse?" She had asked, when I replied no she had immediately offered to teach me.

"It seems as though you will be quite busy Daeran." I smiled, I couldn't wait. "What do you do?" I asked Legolas "I am a warrior, If something were to happen I would be one of the first one's to investigate and fight against any threat."

"Wow, can you teach me how to fight." Legolas stopped walking and knelt in front of me. "Daeran do you remember what happened with the pony a few days into our journey with the dwarves?" I nodded my head, "I remembered it was scary." Legolas nodded his head "yes it was scary.

Now do you remember how we couldn't get to you" I nodded my head again wondering what he was talking about. "You have magic Daeran and we need to help you learn how to use it."

I was shocked magic wasn't real. "I don't understand." "we couldn't get to you because of the a shield you were using to keep yourself safe." I guess that sort of made sense.

"Gandalf was going to start teaching you, however due to the ocrs he wasn't able to. We are going to have to find you a teacher." "who" I asked "I'm not sure, but ada and I are figuring it out."

Legolas stood back up and took my hand. We were about to start walking again when a red haired elf came running over.

"Sir, there have been spider sightings nearby, you are to report immediately." I could feel Legolas's hand tighten a little. "I'll be right there" With that the woman left. "What's wrong?"

"I must go, I want you to go back to your room and wait for me there." With that Legolas let go of my hand and pushed me in the direction of my room.

I looked behind me and watched as Legolas and he red head ran to weapon room.

I wanted to listen to Legolas and go to my room however I didn't want to be alone. I made my way to where I believe I remembered the kitchen was.

As I made my way towards the kitchen I used this time to really admire Mirkwood even more. I loved the way the light the made everything sort of glow.

As I walked down the hall I didn't notice Thranduil watching me. "Are you lost" I jumped not expecting anyone. "I um want to see Alma" I said "well I guess you should start in the right direction." He gave me his hand and I took it. "Are you enjoying your stay so far?" He asked me. "I like it, everything is so beautiful" I smiled. Once we had arrived at the kitchen Thranduil let go of my hand and left.

I knocked on the door, hoping I wasn't bothering anyone. I heard footsteps then the door opened

"Daeran, what a wonderful surprise" Alma exclaimed. "It's nice to see you too." She smiled brightly. "Would you like to help me?" she asked. I had cooked for the Dursley's so I sort of knew what I was doing. "What are you making?"

"Dinner for tonight" She replied. I looked over and noticed there was a large variety of greens, salads and bread. "Where's the meat?" I asked. Alma gave me a strange look. "We don't eat it honey" I was shocked I hadn't eaten much meat myself but I enjoyed it. "have you ever had it" I asked.

" I have not, we don't have any here so even if I wanted some I can't easily get it." I nodded my head a little disappointed.

"Do you eat it?" I nodded my head "a little bit whenever I was given food." Alma came over to me and kneeled to my height.

"What do you mean by whenever you were given food?" I looked to the ground not answering. "It's ok little one, you can tell me anything I won't judge nor will anyone else, we want to help you." "I...I wasn't g...given much f...food. Only when they t...thought I needed it." Alma's face didn't change, but I could tell she was upset. "Did they hurt you little one?" I didn't know what to say I had never told anyone about what happened at the Dursley's before.

But how was I supposed to know if they were doing anything bad, that was the way I had always been treated.

"When I did something wrong they would hit me" I said in quite voice. I she weren't an elf she probably wouldn't have heard me.

The next thing she did surprised me. She reached around me and gave me a hug. I reached my arms around her neck and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"It's going to be ok little one, you are here now and you're safe."

Thranduil POV

I was sitting in the library reading when I heard someone come up behind me. "What is it?" I asked harshly not wanting to be bothered.

"Sire I have new about the elfling" I turned at that and turned to face Alma. "What about him" "I was talking to him earlier sire, he told me that when he was living with whoever he was living with he told me that he didn't get fed often."

"Well I can imagine he didn't by the size of him" I told her. "Yes sire, but I believe they fed him meat with his diet, since he mentioned that that's what he ate" that surprised me.

"Is there anything else?" "yes sire, it seemed that the people he lived with hurt him quite badly.

He informed me that if he did something wrong he would be hit, though I think he's not telling everything."

I could feel my anger start to rise. I had known he had a tough life, but never would an elfling be mistreated so poorly by anyone.

"Thank you Alma, you may go" she didn't leave however "Sire I have heard rumors that he has magic, is that true." I nodded to her "Yes it is, and I must find someone suitable to teach him.

I know he would probably like Gandalf to teach him, but I do not know when or if he will return. I need to find a replacement."

"Sire may I" I nodded "what about Radagast the brown. I know he wouldn't be your first choice, but I think Daeran would get along with him quite well" I thought about it. Yes he wouldn't be my first choice the man was strange and unpredictable, sometimes I wondered if he even had a brain.

Alma did have a point however I could see Daeran and him getting along quite well. "Ok, send for him, I want him here within the next few days. We need to start teaching him magic." Alma nodded then left the room.

......Several Days later.....

I stood in the throne room Legolas, Alma, Daeran and Radagast all standing around me. "How are we to proceed?" I asked Radagast.

I will need to figure just how powerful the boy's magic is, then we will start from there." I nodded my head "Then proceed." Radagast bowed to me then sat down in chair that was brought to him and Daeran.

Radagast then pulled a small staff from his many pockets. "Here you are" Daeran took it and held it cautiously in one hand. "What do I do with it?" Daeran asked.

"I want you to channel magic into the staff, you don't need to do a lot, but enough to see what you are capable of." Daeran frowned, but nodded.

He closed his eyes in concentration. Nothing happened at first, but soon I started to feel his magic pool into the staff.

Then it was gone Daeran was breathing heavily "did I do it right?" Radagast seemed shocked "Yes Daeran you did and I am quite shocked with how well you did."

Daeran beamed and smiled at me. I nodded my head to him in a congratulating gesture. "You have very strong magic Daeran and can't wait to start working with you."

Dumbledore POV

I was sitting in my office eating some lemon drops when a buzzer suddenly went off. I quickly made my way to find out what it was.

When I checked it I noticed it was the tracking spell I had placed on Potter. Why was it going off.

The spell was to make sure I always knew where potter was, it going off only would mean he left the Dursley's and not just to go to school or the playground, but was miles away from them.

I hadn't gotten any kind of letter that they would be going anywhere. It either meant that Potter had run away or was taken.

I quickly sent a patronus to all the order members for an emergency meeting.

Not long after everyone started to arrive Severus was the first since he was already in the school followed by Minerva.

Next Sirius, Remus and Tonks entered and sat down. Mr and Mrs Weasley followed by Shacklebolt and Moody. "Albus what's wrong why did you call an emergency meeting?" Minerva asked.

"I have some very disturbing news. Earlier today I received a notice about Potter's whereabouts as many of you know I placed a spell on him so I could keep track of him to keep him safe.

The spell went off today indicating that Harry has been taken from the Dursley's home." There were many gasps around me as I broke the news.

"Was it death eaters?" Mrs weasley asked. "I am not sure, but we must get him back."

"How could you let this happen Albus, my godson is probably all alone somewhere scared, you were supposed to make sure he was safe."

Sirius yelled standing up and glaring at me. "Sirius you know I did not mean for anything to happen-" "Like hell" He spat out.

"Sirius calm down" Remus said grabbing his friend's shoulder, pushing back into his seat. "How do we not know this isn't just a false alarm" Severus asked.

"I have spoken with the Dursley's and they say they were attacked not long after the warning went off." I lied.

I needed them all in this I would get my weapon back and I didn't care if I had to lie to them to do it.

"What are we going to do" Tonks asked looking to me. "We will get him back at all costs-" "Is that because he's the savior or do you really care about him?" Sirius glared at me.

I gave a shocked look "Oh course I care about him Sirius, like any child he means a lot.

His parents died for him and I will not let them die in vain by letting the person they protected die."

I knew I had gone a little far, but I didn't care they were going to help me get Potter back if it was the last thing I do.
