Chapter 1: The Alliance

A/N: Ok, I have decided to completely redo this story because I didn't like the way I originally set it up. This still will be Harry Potter/SG-1/SG Atlantis. I have most of chapter 2 for this story written and parts of chapter 3. I pretty much have the first ten chapters outlined for this story. If anyone would like to beta this story for me, please send me a PM because I'm terrible with grammar.

This will be an HP/Female story but not saying who. I know that it says he has to marry the princess but I don't want to spoil the story. There will be no slash. It will involve Elves, Ori, Wraith, Atlantis, ships being blown up, Voldemort, Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric, Jonas Quinn, etc…

Summary: Harry was promised to the Princess of the Light Elves before he was born. Dumbledore finally tells him this when he is twenty five years old. Now he is working for the SGC. Harry/Female but not telling who.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James Potter walked nervously back and forth as if trying to wear a hole into the floor. In a few moments, he will stand before the King of the Light Elves as ambassador from the British Ministry of Magic. At the age of twenty five he is what many would consider an accomplished man. Never did he dream that one day he would become an ambassador for the ministry. During his time at Hogwarts, he had planned to either be a pro quidditch player or an auror. However, those dreams disappeared when the scouts told him he just wasn't good enough and then his wife protested to his career as an auror. When Dumbledore and Minister Fudge approached him with the position of ambassador, he immediately accepted and was grateful to Dumbledore.

The British magical community was in a state of civil war that had been unknown to most of the muggle population. The Dark Lord had many followers and his ranks increase every day. As a result, Minister Fudge ordered James to revive diplomatic relations with the Light Elves. His primary task was to secure an alliance so that the Light Elves would provide military aid. In order to achieve this, James had to first get an audience with the King of the Light Elves. The problem was, no human knew how to get to the kingdom of the elves. Humans could not simply just apparate or portkey to the land of the elves due to the fact that no human knew where it was or how to get there. The only way a human could get to the kingdom of the elves was to be escorted. Lucky for James, he did not have to wait long before a servant of the royal court came to trade herbs in Diagon Alley. Through the servant, James successfully managed to request an audience with the king.

He had to admit he was a bit nervous about the whole thing. He hoped that this would be his first of many future meetings as ambassador to the light elves. The last ambassador the ministry sent to the light elves was over two hundred years ago. At the time, negotiations for an alliance went sour and the British Ministry of Magic officially withdrew its support of any further negotiations. Needless to say that put the ministry in an embarrassing situation at the moment.

At the moment, James was waiting in the guest room along with his wife Lily and Professor Dumbledore. He stood with his arms crossed and looked as if he was deep in thought. Lily embraced her husband as if to reassure him that everything would be alright. He could feel her pregnant belly pressing against him and could not help but feel proud.

"Everything is going to be alright sweetie." said James. It seemed as if he was trying to reassure his wife, but in reality he was trying to reassure himself. Lily's only response was to nuzzle her face into his shirt. Looking over a Dumbledore the old man gave him a grandfatherly smile. The old man had been James mentor during all of his years at Hogwarts. Dumbledore even convinced Fudge to offer James the position of Ambassador. James could not help but feel indebted to the man. Little did he realize that that was exactly what Dumbledore wanted. Suddenly two guards marched into the room, followed by the light elves' own ambassador.

"His highness is ready to see you now." said the ambassador. Quietly they filed out one by one with the ambassador leading the way. The castle certainly did not look like any castle they knew in Britain. When they first saw the castle from the outside, it was immediately noted that the castle was built into a giant tree. The tree's trunk appeared to be as large as Hogwarts and was as high as the eye could see. Inside the castle, it felt as if the walls were alive and had its own life force. As they entered the royal court room, it was noticeable that the entire room was decorated by plants and flowers. At the very end of the room was a platform with two thrones. The thrones were currently occupied by the king and his pregnant wife. When James, Lily, and Dumbledore walked into the room the king and his wife stood and greeted their guests.

"Welcome to my kingdom." said the king. The king and his wife bowed their heads as was customary in their culture. James, Lily, and Dumbledore had researched this custom and also bowed their heads in return.

"Thank you for seeing us your highness." replied James. "On behalf of the British Ministry of Magic, I am Ambassador James Potter." Turning to his wife and Dumbledore he said, "And this is my wife Lily Potter and Professor Albus Dumbledore."

"On behalf of our people, welcome." said the queen. The queen was a very beautiful woman with light brown hair and pointy ears. Anyone who looked at her could tell she possessed a certain grace that only a queen could command. She looked as if she weren't a day over twenty five but looks can be deceiving when it comes to elves.

"I am King Lendas and this is my wife Sari." said the king. King Lendas was a very slim and agile as were all male elves. Like his wife, Lendas appeared to be in his youth. However, his voice was deep and commanded respect but at the same time had kindness in it. "You must be tired from your journey here. Please join us for our evening meal." Within a few moments, many servants came rushing out carrying a large table, chairs, and food. "Please join us." repeated King Lendas as he and Queen Sari took their own seats.

"Thank you for this honor." said James as he motioned for Lily and Dumbledore to sit. While they feasted, King Lendas insisted on no business talk until they were done. Instead, the Queen and Lily conversed about their pregnancies while James, Dumbledore, and King Lendas discussed other matters of interest. In addition, King Lendas chose to entertain his guests with music and performances by Elvin dancers. Once they all had their fill, King Lendas waived his hand and dismissed the dancers. James took this as his queue to open the floor to business.

"On behalf of my ministry, I would like to offer you a gift." said James. He motioned for two guards to carry in a chest. The guards took it before their king and opened it. "Several magical scrolls, potions, rare herbs, and the finest silk in all of Europe." The king looked pleased and motioned for his guards to carry it away.

"We accept your gifts with gratitude." said King Lendas. He stood and bowed once again as a sign of respect.

"I'm glad you find our gifts acceptable." said James. Everything was going smoothly so far.

"So tell me Ambassador." said King Lendas. "What brings you to the Elvin kingdom?"

"On behalf of my ministry, I would like to negotiate a possible alliance between our two peoples." said James.

"What sort of alliance are you proposing?" asked King Lendas.

"We are proposing a military alliance." said James. He knew that he had to tread this carefully or he might lose his opportunity. "In addition, we would like to open free trade between our two peoples with out a tariff."

"A military alliance you say? said King Lendas. "Could it be that the Ministry of Magic is losing the war with the Dark Lord and is too proud to admit it? Yes Ambassador, I already know all about it." There was a silent pause as King Lendas had gone right to the core of the issue.

"I cannot confirm nor deny those accusations." said James. "It is not my place."

"Pride has lead to the downfall of many great leaders Ambassador." said King Lendas. "You should do well to remember that." James turned slightly red at this statement. It's not that he was too proud to admit they were losing. He did not want to appear to be weak and be taken advantage of. However, Lily had no inner quarrels. Knowing the situation the magical world was in, she was ready to beg the elves if she had to.

"They call themselves Death Eaters." said Lily stepping up to help her husband. "They kill and rape innocent people every day!" Tears started forming in her eyes. "They murdered my parents because they were muggles! My parents never did any harm to them. They were killed simply out of hatred. Hundreds have fallen victim to them. I beg you to at least consider what we have to offer." At this point Lily really let the water works run. Recalling the recent deaths of her parents had hit a sore spot. James embraced his wife in order to comfort her.

"The Dark Lord's goal is global domination and to eliminate those who are not pure blooded." said Dumbledore.

"What do you mean pure blooded?" asked Queen Sari.

"A pure blood is one that descends from two magical lines." said James whom was still holding a sobbing Lily. "For example, I am a pure blood. Both of my parents possessed the ability to do magic and came from old blood lines that had always possessed the ability to perform magic. My wife is not considered a pureblood because she was born to those with out magic but was able to perform magic."

"They have threatened to purge our world of all those with out pure blood." inserted Dumbledore. "We would like to ask for your military aid so that this does not spread any further than it already has. If he succeeds in our world, he will come for you next."

"I assure you that it is quite impossible for any human to come here alone." said King Lendas. "No human has ever in our history come here with out the assistance of one of our kind."

"Would you deny us aid in our time of need?" asked Dumbledore.

"As I recall, it was your ministry that turned its back on us in our time of need." replied the king. "In our previous military alliance, we aided your ministry in its war against giants. Afterwards, we became involved in a conflict with the Dark Elves but your ministry refused to assist us. Many of our warriors were killed in that war."

"With all due respect, that was over two hundred years ago." said Dumbledore. "Much has changed in two hundred years."

"Perhaps it was a long time ago." said King Lendas. "But feelings of resentment still dwell amongst our people."

"Then allow us to help displace those feelings of resentment." said James. "Allow us to prove that we are worthy allies."

"It is not easy for us to merely take your word for it." said Queen Sari.

"Then what would you have us do?" asked Lily who was no longer crying.

"I propose a magical contract." replied King Lendas. "This magical contract will bind your ministry to its conditions. Should its conditions be broken, your ministry will be forced to forfeit the sum of fifty billion galleons. The contract will be signed by your Minister, the Chief Goblin of Gringotts, and me."

"And what conditions would you impose on us?" asked Dumbledore.

"In the event that either your ministry or my own people become involved in a conflict, the other is required to provide aid in terms of military force, food, and resources." replied King Lendas. "In addition, there will be free trade amongst our peoples with no tariffs of any kind."

"Is that all you require?" asked James.

"Your Minister must also make a public apology for your ministry's failure to aid us in our last war with the Dark Elves and pay one million galleons for compensation." said King Lendas.

"That's asking a bit much." replied James. "I don't think our Minister will be willing to make a public apology."

"Well tell your Minister those are my conditions for the alliance." said King Lendas. Turning to Lily he said, "Mrs. Potter, you mentioned during dinner that you and Ambassador Potter will be the proud parents of a boy in two months. My last condition is that you promise your son to my daughter. Once this happens it will put elves and humans as equals."

"Equals?" Asked Dumbledore.

"In our last alliance with man, we were treated as inferiors." said Queen Sari. "We were branded as 'magical creatures' and looked down upon."

"To ensure this will not happen again, a union between the Princess of the Light Elves and the son of Ambassador Potter shall prove that man and elves are equals." said King Lendas. Lily and James were both silent not knowing what to say. This was an unexpected turn of events.

"I don't think that will be a problem." said Dumbledore on behalf of James and Lily.

"What!" screamed Lily at Dumbledore. "Did you just agree to sign my son away?"

"Lily please…." said Dumbledore.

"No you listen here Professor!" said Lily with determination in her voice. "The only person that decides what happens to my son is me! Not you! Not James! Not Fudge!"

"Perhaps you need time to think things over." said Queen Sari calmly.

"Yes!" replied James clearly shocked about the last condition and fearful of his wife's anger. "I think we need to discuss this with the Minister before we make any decisions."

"Very well." said King Lendas. "I shall have Ambassador Eshlon escort you back to the human world."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Minister Fudge sat in his office going through some paper work. He let his mind wander after a few moments and couldn't help but wander about the delegation team he had sent to the Light Elves. Fudge dreaded the possibly that the Light Elves would turn them away in their time of need. If the Light Elves turn them away then they might have to consider an alliance with some lower creatures. Dumbledore had insisted that he be apart of the negotiations. That stupid twinkle in the old man's eyes all the time. Fudge hated him, yet he had to admit he needed the old man's help. Then there was Ambassador James Potter, lapdog to Dumbledore. It was Dumbledore who had insisted that he make Potter Ambassador to the Light Elves. While Potter wasn't a bad choice, Fudge just hated being told what to do. Lily Potter, a pretty redheaded woman that he really didn't have anything against other than the fact that she was married to James Potter. While he was lost in his thoughts there was a knock at his office door.

"Come in!" commanded Fudge. The door opened and his secretary walked in.

"Minister, Ambassador Potter and Professor Dumbledore are here to see you."

"Send them in." said Fudge. He was surprised that they had returned so early. Moments later, James and Dumbledore walked into Fudges office. "Well? Did they agree to help us?"

"The King Lendas has given us his conditions for the alliance." said James.

"Well what are they?" asked Fudge.

"He proposes a magical contract." said James. "The magical contract will bind both parties to its conditions."

"Go on." Fudge encouraged.

"He wants you to make a public apology to the Light Elves concerning the Ministry abandoning them in their last war." said James. "Also he wants you to pay one million galleons in compensation."

"That's preposterous!" yelled Fudge.

"That's not all." James continued. "In the future, if the Ministry breaches the conditions of the contract then it will forfeit a sum of fifty billion galleons. He also wants the Chief Goblin of Gringotts to sign to contract as a third party and as the financial institution.

"Is that all?" asked Fudge sarcastically.

"The alliance requires both parties to provide aid for the other in times of war." said James.

"Unacceptable!" yelled Fudge. "Those Light Elves are always at war with the Dark Elves! Go back and negotiate new conditions!"

"I do not think that would be wise Minister." said Dumbledore. "At this point in time we are in dire need of allies. The Light Elves have not been at war for over two hundred years. They are for the light as opposed to their counter parts." Fudge considered what Dumbledore said for a moment.

"Very well, tell him that if he can promise to send us at least five thousand soldiers then we have a deal." replied Fudge reluctantly.

"There is one other thing Minister." said James reluctantly. "He is requiring that I betrothed my son to his daughter." There was a silent pause. It was not uncommon between pure blood families to arrange marriages. However, most magical families have long since abandoned that tradition. Most of the families that still practice it do it purely for economic gains and to ensure their line.

"And agreed correct?" asked Fudge.

"Well Minister, I…" started James but Fudge cut him off.

"Didn't you tell me that you would do everything in your power to ensure this alliance?" asked Fudge.

"Well yes Minister, but…" said James but once again Fudge cut him off.

"Splendid!" exclaimed Fudge. "I want you to return tomorrow and let the King of the Light Elves know that we have agreed to his terms.

"Now see here Minister!" yelled James as he was beginning to get angry.

"Would you please excuse us for a moment Cornelius?" asked Dumbledore. Fudge only nodded and returned to his desk. Dumbledore took James to the corner of the room. "I really think you should consider doing this James."

"Sign away my son's life professor?" hissed James.

"I would not ask you to do this if it did not serve the greater good." replied Dumbledore. "With your son married to the Princess of the Light Elves, imagine how that could benefit the magical community."

"Sir, I really want to give my son the chance to fall in love pick his wife, just like I got to pick Lily." said James.

"Well the choice is yours alone but I want you to see something before you decide." said Dumbledore. He pulled an article of the Daily Prophet from his pocket. "I picked this up on our way in. Thirty muggles and seven wizards were killed while we were on our diplomatic mission. Among the dead is your father."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a preview of what is to come. This is not a preview of chapter 2 just so you know.

"Minister, I have a new theory about the origins of witches and wizards," said Dr. Hermione Granger. "For several years now, the muggle government of the United States has been in secret operation of a program called the Stargate program. Recently the program has been lacking funds and they are reaching out for international support and finances. If you've read the report, then you know the Stargate is a device that establishes a wormhole across the galaxy to other planets. It allows matter to dematerialize and reappear on the other side. During their last seven years or operation they have discovered many new technologies and encountered many alien races out there. I believe it may be possible that our ancestors came from the Stargate before it was buried. I base this theory on the fact that while reviewing photos taken at one of the off world sites, I noticed some of the writing looked familiar. With further research, I discovered that the writing matched some inscriptions written in the book of Merlin that we were never able to translate. Even if that is not true, I do believe visiting other planets is worth investigating." Hermione stopped for a moment to catch her breath and to meet eyes with the Minister and his cabinet of trustees. "I propose that we establish a team and have the US government allow us to go through the Stargate." Hermione watched nervously as the Minister and her cabinet members stared at her with their piercing eyes. When she decided that she would propose this idea, she knew that the idea of traveling to other planets through a wormhole was a little hard to grasp. It is like telling a muggle that magic really exists.

If there is anything else you might want to see happen in this story, go ahead and suggest it in a review and I'll consider it.
