Prolog

'They left, they really left.'

That thought kept going through Harry's mind while standing there in the rain. Ron and Hermione really left him in the forest with a tent, a beaded bag, and a locket horcrux.

It all started with an argument, an argument that was exacerbated by a horcrux.

Ron ran from the tent and Hermione followed. Hermione had grabbed Ron and they both left. They left Harry sitting in the rain with an impossible task and no aid.

'Hermione would never leave him, yet she was gone' was the thought that went through Harry's head over and over again while sitting in the rain.

After what seemed like an eternity, Harry got up from the mud and went back to the tent and asked out loud "Who will help me now? I can't do this alone!"

~POP~

"The Great Harry Potter Sir needs help?"

With those 5 words, the world of Harry Potter changed in such a drastic way.

Chapter 1

'Gods bless Luna Lovegood.' Harry thought. 'That woman just seems to know when I need to leave, provides an escape, and asks no questions!' as he walked through the ruins of the castle, heading for Gryffindor tower. The fatigue that Harry felt from the weight of his task was overwhelming. Add that to being awake for more than 24 hours, breaking into and out of Gringotts, destroying 3 horcruxes (having to die to get the third one), vanquishing the dark lord, and placating the masses afterwards.

One thought was on his mind, SLEEP!

Harry arrived at the tower and entered his old dorm room to find Dobby waiting there for him.

"Dobby broughts food for Harry."

That single sentence, to those not in the know, showed how the relationship between the two had changed. Gone was the worship, replaced by a brotherhood that only comes to those who have fought and bled together. Gone was the hyper-elf, replaced by a brother in arms whose only goal was to see the other cared for after a horrific battle that had been waged for hours.

"Thank you! I know that I could sleep for days! You brought enough for us both?" Harry asked.

"Of course, let's eat and sleep, let tomorrow take care of itself!" replied Dobby.

Let's eat and sleep, let tomorrow take care of itself.

Their creed, their way of life since meeting in a tent in the forest. It made Harry remember a conversation between the two about house elves and their creed.

"Why did you remain with the Malfoys when you have the ability to leave?" asked Harry.

"House elves is beings of magic and body Great Harry Potter Sir. When Dobby was bad Malfoys elf, his magic was bound to the family. Bad Malfoys could order Dobby's death and Dobby's magicks would carry out the order."

"You had no say, no option to disobey?" asked Harry.

"No, Dobby dids not Great Harry Potter Sir. Many many many years ago, elves were in a great war with another species that has been lost in time. They was destoryed by the elves by a ritual with a great cost, the cost of magicks. Since elves were beings of magicks and body, one could not live without the other.

The elves that went into that great battle did so with the aid of humans of that time. The elves of that time were beings of knowledge and power and they had shared that with those humans. They brought the knowledge of fire, wind, earth and water. They brought magicks. They brought the knowledge of communities and peaceful existence.

The humans brought numbers, loyalty, and resolve to see the job done.

Before the great battle, elves and humans had lived and learned side by side. The humans had different magicks than the elves, but it was a… Dobby not know the work, but they worked along side each other."

"Symbiotic? Able to feed each other?" asked Harry.

"Correct Great Harry Potter Sir! After the battle and the ritual, elves started to fade from existence. This upset the humans and they offered the Bond as a way to remain. The Bond is being hard to explain, especially since elves were a proud race. The original Bond was one of friendship and asked no service of the elves. Many elves were unable to accepts this and their pride manifested itself in one of two ways.

The first way saw many elves allow themselves to die off instead of accepting the Bond. The other elves decided that if they were to accept this Bond they would repay the humans by being their servants. These elves were not the warriors or elders, but their children and wives. The terms of this time would be like if the family of teachers, healers, and warriors all rejected the Bond and the families of those who were like shop keepers, laborers, and rebels of the warrior and elder families accepted the Bond.

With the passage of time, the Bond was perverted to what it is today. A slave bond."

"Why has this not been brought to the attention of wizards and witches? Why am I now hearing of this from you? Don't you know that I would do anything I could to help you? Why keep this a secret Dobby?" asked Harry.

"Yous never askeded." Replied a nervous Dobby who started to tremble and tears started to form in his bulbous green eyes… GREEN EYES?!

"…"

"Elves are proud, and now its being all we has left." Sobbed Dobby. "When Dobby comes to the Great Harry Potter Sir before his second year when bad Malfoys be wishing harm upon Hoggywarts and Great Harry Potter Sir Dobby is seeing his chance to do more than be a slave sir. Dobby could be like the Warrior Elves of Old, Dobby could save someone who had so much taken from him, who had sacrificed so much to save or educate others, Dobby could save the Great Harry Potter Sir!"

Silence reigned in the tent for at least 10 minutes before another word was spoken. Then Harry stood up, Dobby followed and Harry fell to his knees in front of Dobby and Dobby was soon engulfed in a hug that would have rivaled Hermione's infamous rib-crusher!

After a minute, the two separated Harry asked "Could we have that type of Bond? The Bond? The original one?"

"We already have it. The Bond was formed when the Great Harry Potter Sir freed Dobby from bad Malfoys! The Great Harry Potter Sir formed the bond when his only request of Dobby was to promise, not swear, to try and not save the Great Harry Potter Sir's life again.

When Dobby left the Great Harry Potter Sir that day he went to sleep and had a dream. The dream was of Magicks and she told Dobby of the Bond and that Dobby would be needed on this day to come to the Great Harry Potter Sir and do as the elves of old. Dobby was to teach the Great Harry Potter Sir of the bond and to fight by his side.

Dobby will keep his promise to the Great Harry Potter Sir and will not try to save his life, Dobby will fight for his life alongside the Great Harry Potter Sir! Dobby has the sign of the Bond in his eyes. Dobby has Magicks without a bond like with the bad Malfoys. Dobby, Dobby is still alive without while Winky, Winky passed away months ago."

"I am sorry Dobby, was she special to you?" queried Harry.

"Winky was a good friend to Dobby and Dobby wished for more, but it was not to be. The loss of the bond really harmed Winky and it is possibly true that she would never be able to accepts another, that is why she drank and drank herselfs to her end. Winky did not accept the breaking of the bond, and would not be able to bond another." replied Dobby.

"So my friend, what do we do now?"

"Let's eat and sleep, let tomorrow take care of itself." Dobby said.

Let's eat and sleep, let tomorrow take care of itself.

"Well, that was filling my friend, where will you sleep?" asked Harry.

"I'll take this bed and you take that one. See you in the morning Harry."

With that, Harry laid down on the bed, rest his head on the pillow, close his eyes, and let sweet oblivion claim him.

Three hours later saw Harry twisting and turning in his bed, in the arms of a nightmare when he went completely still…

"Avada Kedavra"

The green light hit him in the chest and everything went white. There was no King's Crossing Station, no Dumbledore, no malformed baby beneath a bench.

He was clothed…

He could breathe…

He pinched his arm…

PAIN!

This was no dream, this was no memory, was this real? There were no features, no floor, no walls. He was not floating, but he was not standing. It was like he was in suspended animation…

"YOU ARE HARRY JAMES POTTER?" a booming female voice asked.

"Yes."

A shape began to form in front of Harry. A human female shape.

"GREETINGS HARRY JAMES POTTER, I AM MAGICK AND I HAVE A REQUEST OF YOU."

"You do?"

"YES, I WOULD LIKE YOUR ASSISTANCE IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY FROM HERE IN A TIME LONG AGO."
