A/N: Hiya. Sorry for the late update. I had been busy writing this fan fic and I totally forgot to upload. Sorry. Ther's Chap 4. Enjoy!
###########################
Harry sat on his bed, couldn't get to sleep. He kept thinking about the encounter he had earlier on. 'Are they really elves?' Harry thought. 'The elves I knew were not like that.' Harry thought back to Hogwarts, and Dobby.
He then slowly let his mind wander back to the Burrow. How would they react if they find him missing? Slowly as the night crept by, Harry fell into a sleep, and he dreamt he was back in the Burrow in Ron's room.
"My lord, it is time to wake up," called an elfmaid.
"Just a few more minutes, Hermonie. Ron's not up yet did he?" grumbled Harry."I'm having a very weird dream. I dreamt that I'm not in Ron's house anymore.I'm in a place call Rivendell."
Just then, Alfirin walked in. "My Lady, Lord Elithron would not wake up," said the elfmaid.
"Never mind, I will wake him up. You may go off to do other chores." Alfirin said. Turning to Harry, "No Harry, you are not dreaming. You are actually here in Rivendell. Open your eyes and you will see."
Suddenly Harry shot open his eyes and sat up on his bed. He looked around and finally set his eyes upon Alfirin. "I'm still dreaming, am I?"
"Pinch your cheek to check if it hurts," replied Alfirin cooly.
Harry obeyed, pinched his cheek, "Ouch! It hurts!"
"You are not dreaming then, Harry. You are in Rivendell. Come, let's wash up and have your breakfast."
After washing, Alfirin lead Harry to the Main Hall, where Lord Elrond, Elladan and Elrohir are having breakfast.
"Quel Amrun, Elithron. Losto Mae?" asked Elladan, who notice both Alfirin and Harry had walked into the Hall.
"Huh? Er, what do u mean?" asked Harry, nervously.
"He meant 'Good Morning, Elithron, Sleep well?'" replied Lord Elrond, smiling.
"Oh, er, I'd slept well, thank you."
Breakfast was tasty. After breakfast, Lord Elrond lead Elladan, Elrohir,Alfirin and Harry to his study room. "Sit down, Harry. And all of you too." Everyone took a seat, and Lord Elrond walked to his desk and sat on a chair behind behind his desk.
"Right, it is time that we tell our Harry here everything," began Lord Elrond.
"Yes, Adar. Let us, I can not wait any longer," squealed Alfirin excitedly.
"Yes, I can see how excited you are. All right, Harry, let me first introduce you properly to your family." Harry's eyes widened. 'My family?' he wondered.
"Yes, your family," Lord Elrond continued, sawing the look on Harry's face. "We are your family." Pointing to Alfirin, he continued, " She is, Harry, your sister. You might also remember her as Hannah Potter."
"M-My s-sis-sister?" Harry stammered, shocked. "You got to be kidding me. My sister is dead, together with my parents. She can't be my sister!"
"Harry, please listen to me. Yes, you may think that your sister is dead, but you don't know the truth. Let me explain, please."
Just then, Alfirin is upset, very upset. She leaned over towards Elladan, who hugged her. "Eli, i mean Harry, please, no matter what, please listen to what Lord Elrond says. After that, if you still do not believe, you may do what you feel like doing," said Elladan softly.
Harry nodded, and sat back into the chair, ready to listen to what Lord Elrond had to say. Noting that, Lord Elrond began, "As I was saying, Alfirin here is your sister. As you may see, she is also an elf. So is your father. And I, am your Grandfather," he continued slowly.
"For your father Elmaethor, who is known to you and everyone in your world as James Potter, is my son, and a brother to Elladan and Elrohir."
'This is getting weird, very weird.' Harry thought. 'This can't be true. No!'
"Yes, this is the truth, Harry," said Lord Elrond, which started Harry. "Now let me begin the whole story. Elmaethor, James, had went to Earth on my order. Many years ago, Sauron, the evil lord here, forge an evil ring to rule the elves, dwarves and men. The alliance of men and elves started a war against him. At that time, James was still a elfling, and his powers have not yet fully grown. Thus I sent him to earth, with an elf to protect him. That elf took the name of Potter and therefore James took that as a family name. The Valar put his name in the book of Hogwarts, where you study now, to let him study magic and get protected. When James studied at Hogwarts, he met your mother, Lily, and soon they fell in love with each other."
"During his 7th year at Hogwarts, he is expected to be home here. But he chose to be with Lily, in the end, he loses his elven ability...and...immortal life." signed Lord Elrond. "You see, even if you are a pure elf, if you choose to be with a mortal, you have to give up your elven abilities, and immortal life. He then married Lily and gave birth to both of you. When the evil lord in Earth threatened your family, James sent Alfirin through a portal set in his home to here. By the time I got someone over to help, they are both dead, and you are nowhere to be seen. Initially we thought you were dead too. Until recently when we found out that you are still alive."
Lord Elrond stopped, to allow Harry to absorb the truth in. Harry sank further into the seat shocked. "I...uh, I...I don't know what to say," said Harry slowly, tears started to flow down from his eyes.
~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the Burrow, everyone were frantically looking all over for Harry. He had been missing for a few days without a trace.
'Harry, where on earth are you?' thought Sirius Black. He thought back to the morning after Harry's birthday. All of them were having breakfast in the kitchen when Ron came in and was looking for Harry.
Flashback
"Where's Harry? Ain't he here having breakfast?" asked Ron.
"No honey, Harry hasn't been here at all. I thought he might still be sleeping especially after last night," answered Mrs Weasley.
"No, Harry's not in his bed. When I woke up, only his presents were on his bed. I thought he might be here," said Ron, beginning to panic. "Where is he then?"
Suddenly everyone had stopped eating and stared at Ron. Where is Harry? Everyone began to look all over the place inside and outside of Burrow. Remus quickly send a note to Albus Dumbledore to let him know about Harry's disappearance. Dumbledore came as soon as he received the note and was travelling everywhere to look for Harry.
End Flashback
Suddenly a voice broke Sirius's thought. "Albus, look at this!" cried Mrs Weasley. "Look what I'd found on Harry's bed."
Dumbledore quickly move towards Mrs Weasley and took the letter from her hand. Everyone began to crowd around Dumbledore trying to read the letter.
Dear Harry,
It reads.
It is a pleasure to know that you are still alive. Everyone here is excited to hear the news.
I will be eagerly waiting for your arrival tonight.
Your Grandfather
PS. Someone here can not wait til then.
Dumbledore was stunned after reading the letter. He let the letter dropped to the floor, where Remus picked it up and read it with Sirius.
"Molly, is there anything else with the letter?" asked Dumbledore.
"No there isn't," replied Mrs Weasley.
"AH!" gasped Sirius. Everyone turned to look at him. "I think I know where he'd gone."
"Really, Sirius?" asked Dumbledore. "Where had he gone to?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it's there. I'm sorry I promised James not to tell anyone. Please don't ask anymore, I can't reveal. But I can guarantee that Harry will be all right. He'll be fine."
"Aw, come on Sirius. Tell us where Harry is. You know we're all worried about him."
"No, I can't. I promise James. There is no way I can reveal. I'm sorry."
"It's all right, Sirius. I understand. If you guarantee that Harry will be all right, then I believe you," noted Dumbledore.
"I guaranteee, Albus."
Everyone especially Remus tried to argue, but Dumbledore slienced them and said that Sirius is Harry's godfather. He was more worried than everyone of them put together, but there he was guranteed that Harry will be fine. So he must be telling the truth.
====================
A/N: Well, just in case you are wondering, James had Sirius made an Unbreakable Vow to keep the secrecy of the elves. So Sirius can't say where Harry had gone to. I had a difficult time to write the letter thou. Don't know what to write in the letter. But then, come to think of it, the simpler the better ain't it? So, just a few simple sentence. Hope you like this Chapter. Next Chapter will be up very soon, I promise.
