Chapter 12
The group consisting of Queen Elsa of Arendale, Princess Anna of Arendale, Prince Harry of Arendale, as well as Kriffoff, Hermione, Tonks, and Luna arrived to Arendale.
"This is a beautiful land," said Luna, "So peaceful,"
"Yes Luna, my land is peaceful. Don't worry about any of the people who bullied you, they wont bother you again," said Elsa
"Elsa, I doubt your actions were wise. We should try diplomacy," suggested Tonks.
"That woman hurt my cousin, and I will not stand idly by while she tortured him. No, I made it clear to anyone that no one should hurt my family," said Elsa as the two women stared at each other.
"Fine! I am going to check the library. Bye Queenie," said Tonks as she left the group.
"Nymphie," said Elsa quietly as she shook her head, "Alright, I think we should settle down. Harry, why don't you show the living arrangements to your friends," said Elsa
"Elsa, I, I don't know where they could stay. I," said Harry
"Look Harry, you need to realize that you are my cousin. We are family, and I will do anything to protect you. This is your home also, and you can go anywhere," said Elsa as Harry hugged her.
"Thank you Elsa. I think I know where we can all stay. I saw a tower in the west wing with a few empty bedrooms," said Harry as he led Hermione and Luna. Elsa smiled, seeing her cousin this happy.
"Elsa, Elsa, are we going back to Hogwarts?" asked Anna
"Yes, I promised Harry that he would continue his education there. I am worried, however, that there would be more people like that Umbridge woman who would want to hurt him. Voldemort attacked him three times already, and I am not sure Hogwarts is the safest place for him," said Elsa
"Then we should not be there," said Anna quickly
"Perhaps. But Harry is still currently enrolled. I will soon discuss this matter with the Ministry, and depending how the meeting goes, I will determine what would be in our best interests. I think we should really consider having Harry learn magic here. I would also need to contact the foreign governments and any potential allies we could find," said Elsa
"Elsa, I will help you whatever you decide," said Anna
"Thank you sis. Now, I think you and Kristoff would rather spend time alone," said Elsa as she winked.
"Elsa, did you just make a joke," said Anna as she opened her mouth widely
"Queen Elsa, I, I think that considering the circumstances Anna and I should help you. You don't need to do this alone," said Kristoff
"Hmm. Contact Sirius Black, I need to speak with him and Tonks about the Hogwarts situation. Tell them that I will speak with them shortly. Then you should really go and enjoy the day, while I speak with Harry and his friends about their new accommodations," said Elsa as she left Anna and Kristoff.
Elsa walked quickly to the tower that Harry mentioned. When she approached the tower, she saw a lot of red and gold colors, as well as some blue ones. "How are you?" asked Elsa
"Queen Elsa, thank you for your hospitality," said Hermione
"Nonsense, you are Harry's friends. So, have you chosen your rooms?" asked Elsa
"Yes. We decided to get the three adjacent rooms here. Harry decided to move here, so that we could at least get a feeling of living in the dorm," said Hermione
"Elsa?" said Harry
"Fine, don't worry about it. I was just thinking that we might need to find more rooms to occupy. I think we will have many more guests here in the near future," said Elsa
"Guests? Elsa, will I return to Hogwarts?" asked Harry.
"Yes, you will return there tomorrow, but if the situation changes, I would have to withdraw you three from learning there. Don't worry, we could always learn magic here, where I would hire best teachers I could find to teach us," said Elsa as Harry nodded.
"Is it true that trolls live here?" asked Luna
"Well, not in the actual castle, but they do live in the forest. You should ask Kristoff, they raised him," said Elsa.
"Trolls?" said Harry
"Don't worry Harry, they are not dangerous, and unlike the troll you fought in your first year, these trolls are very nice. I must warn you, they can be annoying. The first time they saw Anna they wanted to marry my sister and Kristoff," said Elsa
"I thought your sister is only eighteen," said Harry
"Some people marry young. When Anna asked my blessing to marry Hans, my concern was not really her age but the length of time she knew him. They just met that day. But lets not worry about that. We need to consider who our allies could be. Since the English Ministry of Magic seems not to care much about the wellbeing of my cousin, we need to find others who will help us," said Elsa
"The Delacours can help us," said Hermione
"Fleur? But Hermione, I competed against her last year," said Harry
"So? The purpose of the tournament was not to win but to build strong multi cultural bonds. I think it would be great to meet with them. We can also contact Krum," said Hermione
"The centaurs might help. They are nice, even if they distrust humans," said Luna
"We would need to transport them all here, but otherwise yes, it could work. I can offer them a sanctuary, where humans would not bother them. What about the British Magical families? I know Sirius Black and the Tonks family are our friends, but can anyone else become our ally?" asked Elsa
"Weasleys. They will help," said Harry
"But Harry, Ron's family works with Dumbledore," said Hermione, "They always listen to him,"
"I doubt that. I am more worried about the sides people in the Weasley family will choose. I heard that one of the sons joined the Ministry. The others are not so fond of the current administration, but many support Dumbledore," said Elsa
"Elsa, we need to try. Even if Professor Dumbledore is not our ally, we can still work with him. He is my Headmaster. And the Weasleys are my friends," said Harry
"Fine. We will talk to them," said Elsa
"We can also talk to Neville," suggested Hermione as Elsa nodded.
"Alright, we have a list of potential allies, but we need to be careful. And we need to be especially careful around the Order of Phoenix, whom Dumbledore controls. I just don't trust people there except Sirius, since he seems to be a lone voice of reason there and he cares deeply about Harry," said Elsa
"What about me, Queenie?" asked Tonks
"I," said Elsa, thinking about what she should say to her bodyguard.
"Alright, I get it, you don't trust the Order. But not everyone there is working against you. They are good men and women who want to help people. In my opinion, the only shady people there are Alastor Moody and Severus Snape, maybe Molly Weasley. Moody had a rough life and he is a very close friend of Professor Dumbledore. Severus, well, I don't have to say anything. I also think that Molly Weasley is a huge supporter of the Headmaster," said Tonks
"And why should I trust you?" asked Elsa
"Elsa?" said Harry
"Trust me. Don't trust me. It's all up to you. But consider this, Sirius Black is my cousin, I care about Harry, and I want to do what's best for him. Headmaster knows this, which is why I don't know everything he tells to people like Snape," said Tonks
"I don't think I should worry about you. Unlike others, you are clumsy, and I bet you are a terrible liar. You should learn to be more serious," said Elsa
"You know what? I think I will go explore the castle more, I heard Gerda made a beautiful cake," said Tonks as she left the group.
After Tonks left, Elsa looked at Harry and his friends. "We need to make our own group, our own council, regardless whether we return to Hogwarts or not. Of course, we can always work with the magical club we formed in your school, but I think we also need something more. We need to have a circle of trusted people, like the Order of Phoenix, so that we would discuss any relevant matter. You all will obviously be there, and Anna with Kristoff as well, but I am still unsure whether to invite Sirius and Tonks. They might be our allies, but at the very least with Tonks, I don't completely trust her,"
"Thank you, your Majesty," said Luna
"Please call me Elsa. You are my friend," smiled Elsa as Luna quietly nodded, "Now, I think we should address another issue. Harry recently showed that he can do limited fire magic. I think we all should try to see if you can do such magic,"
"Harry?" asked Hermione as Harry created a small fire above his hand, "This is amazing,"
"Can we see trolls?" asked Luna
Elsa smiled, "Yes, we can meet trolls after we see if you can do elemental magic or not," said Elsa as the group left the tower and journeyed to the forest.
When the group arrived, Luna ran happily on the grass, enjoying her surroundings. Hermione sat close to the Queen, trying to see whether she could do elemental magic or not.
"Alright, relax your mind. Use some happy emotion and feel the magic," began Elsa as she noticed that Luna stood on a cliff.
"Luna, careful," said Elsa as Luna accidentally tripped and fell from the cliff.
"Luna?" asked Harry as the three mages saw that the girl was flying happily the air. She flew for a few minutes before landing on the grass and lying on it.
"How did you do it, Luna?" asked Hermione
"I felt so happy, Hermione. Noone bothered me. There are so many happy magical creatures floating in the sky," said Luna as she lay on the ground.
"Don't worry, you will get it. I just think you are trying to overthink it. Use your emotions, lets them guide you and help you to see if you truly can do elemental magic," said Elsa
Hermione nodded but still couldn't do any magic without her wand. The group then journeyed to the river, where Harry threw a few small fireballs, while Luna tried to see if she could send airwaves with her magic.
"Harry, stop this," said Hermione as Harry jumped in the river. Elsa smiled, and so did Hermione, who hadn't had such fun except when she studied her books.
Hermione smiled. She then noticed that due to Harry jumping in the river, water flew everywhere. The bookworm intuitively moved her right arm since she did not want to get wet. As a result, she redirected the water that flew towards her; instead of hitting Hermione, the water splashed on the grass nearby.
"Well done Hermione," smiled Elsa as the group spent a few more minutes before walking away from the river. Since she made a promise to Luna, Elsa decided for them to meet the trolls.
"Queen is here," said one small troll. The rocks began rolling and soon they surrounded the group of four people.
"Elsa, Elsa, Elsa," said some of the younger trolls.
"It's good to see you, Elsa," said the oldest troll
"You two, Grand Pabbie. This is Harry, my cousin, and these are his friends from his magical school," said Elsa as the trolls examined the newcomers.
"She is so cute. Come on, guys," said one of the trolls, as they pulled Harry and Hermione, and began dancing around them.
"Oh no," said Elsa, shaking her head.
"This is amazing. Thanks Elsa," said Luna as she approached the trolls and began talking to them.
One of the trolls looked at Elsa and blinked. "Elsa is in love," said the female troll.
"Wait, what?" said Elsa as the trolls dropped Harry and Hermione, and instead began dancing around the Snow Queen, asking whom Elsa fancied. Elsa felt embarrassed, she would rather face Hans than feel so awkward while the trolls asked her questions and sang song about love.
A/N: next chapter, the group is back at Hogwarts, and Elsa will talk with both the Ministry officials and Headmaster Dumbledore about the new conditions at Hogwarts.
Whom should Elsa contact? I mentioned Delacours, Krum, Weasleys, and Neville. Do you have any other suggestions? What did you think about Hermione and Luna's elements?
