Summary:On his 16th birthday Harry awakes in a strange place. He finds

himself in the land of the Elves long since departed from this

world. There he undergoes training for swordsmanship,

hunting, hand-to-hunting combat, stealth and tracking, as well as

normal classes. He gets trained by the best and soon becomes

the best. To him has been with the Elves one year but in his world

only a week has gone by. He is told the reason he was granted

this training is because the Elves held a long standing debt to one

Godric Gryffindor stating that 'when my full heir is in desperate need

of assistance/training the Elves will take up the call' they were simply

holding true to that debt. Meanwhile, during his training Dumbledore

is looking for him frantically, not enjoying that his perfectly constructed

plans concerning Harry were going down the drain. He will do

ANYTHING to get it all back. Hermione is worried because she realizes

she has always loved Harry more than anything. Harry as well realizes this

in the year he is gone. This is the story about what happens when these

paths cross irrevocably.

When Harry appeared he was quite dizzy. After this passed he looked around and noticed that he was in a clearing of sorts. Somewhat like a meadow. Ramiche had already started walking and was walking to the left, toward the woods. Harry guessed he was supposed to follow.

When they reached the wood, Harry was astounded. It was gorgeous! The trees were taller than normal buildings and there were houses on the outside of the trees and stairs leading all the way up. The lights were like those that have been passed through crystals. It really was breathe taking.

Harry kept following Ramiche to the top of the tallest tree. There, he saw the most beautiful palace he had ever seen. He was awed.

Ramiche led him into the palace and into the throne room. He went right up to the King and Queen of the Elves and bowed. Harry did the same.

"Your majesties. May I present to you Harry Potter- Gryffindor Heir of Godric the Great."

The King looked over Harry, almost as if he was sizing him up.

"Yes, he does look exactly like Godric, although he has different eyes. He could use some building up. Welcome Harry Potter- Gryffindor to the Wooden Realm! Here you will be trained just as our own combat elves are. You will be trained by the best we have so no worries. Now how about you go get settles in and at dinner we will discuss all the things that need to be discussed? Excellent."

Harry knew a dismissal when he heard one. So he turned to follow Ramiche out a side door. From there he was in a long hallway. It was made of the richest redwood. There was a red carpet leading down it and it had the crystal chandeliers hang from the roof giving it the light needed. It occasionally had a small table with a lamp or statue head on it. There were no doors which surprised Harry. How was he supposed to get in the rooms?

Meanwhile Ramiche was walking down the hall. Finally he stopped in front of a statue head. The head was one of, who else, Godric the Great. The statue said:

Godric the Great

Was the great commander and winner of the War with Salazar Slytherin on Earth. He treated all he knew with kindness and fairness. He felt all creatures were equal and treated them like so. The first Human to own a Fire Gryffin as a gift from King Rashink. He was one of the founders of the great magical institute 'Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry'. We give praise to Godric Gryffindor!

Harry was fascinated. Yes, he knew all of that information, but still it was his ancestor! Any information was was good information as far as he was concerned!

Ramiche watched him with an amused expression on his face. He knew that this room would fascinate his young charge. Harry looked up at him and asked,

"Well, where's my room?"

Ramiche smiled and simply reached down and pushed the head of Godric Gryffindor and miraculously the wall next to the table lifted up and there was a beautiful room inside. It had red walls and an oak wood floor. It had oak wood tables next to the bed. The bed was a four-poster, red with gold pillows and trim. It also had oak wood bookcases on one side of the room. It had a gold rug in the middle of the floor right before the fireplace. It was a cheery and homey room, almost like the Gryffindor common room. It also had an oak wood wardrobe fit exactly fit for him. His things were already placed where he wanted them without him having to be asked. Funny how these things tend to work. But really caught his eye was that this entire room was in Gryffindor colors!

Harry went to turn and say something to Ramiche only to find that the Elf had slipped out unnoticed. Harry went to walk around and get used to his hospitable accommodation. It was perfect, set to his exact specifications. If he were to design a room this would be it. The only difference that he made was that the picture he had with himself and Hermione, which had been on the bookcase, was moved to his bedside table. He knew deep down he was going to miss her more than he wanted to admit, even to himself. He vowed then and there to tell her how he felt the second he saw her.

With that thought in his head he turned and laid down on his bed and slowly drifted off to sleep before his dinner with the King.

Albus Dumbledore was not having a good day. First the Wizengamot decided to sack Minister Fudge and while that move was in turn good, who they replaced him with was not. Rufus Scrimgeour did not trust Albus Dumbledore and thus would not consult him when needed. Now Albus no longer had control of the Wizarding world. He had tried to get the Wizengamot to change their minds but did they? No. All because Amelia Bones did not wish to be Ministress. And for the life of him he could not find a way to fix this.

That would be enough to make anyones day bad, but on top that he now had to deal with a missing Harry Potter. The brat seemed to disappear without anyone seeing him, even his relatives! And he knew it wasn't by the invisibility cloak because Mad-eye had been the one on guard and he can see through those.

So where was he? It was like he just dropped of the face of the earth.

"Are you sure he didn't say anything to you Albus?" asked Mad-eye

"Yes, yes he told Fawkes he understood."

"You don't think that the Dark Lord has him do you?" Mad-eye asked hesitantly. He knew how Albus got wen he was Agitated.

"No. We would know if he did. No he went of his own accord. But where is the question!"

Dumbledore now got up and started to pace across his office. Both of Mad-eye's were watching him. Just then the fire in the office flared green and the head of Kingsley Shaklebolt appeared:

"No sign of the boy in Diagon Alley Albus. Have you checked with the Weasley's yet? If the boy was going to go anywhere he would probably go there."

Albus turned sharply. He hadn't even thought of that. Yes of course he would go there. Albus would simply go and collect him, give him the old you-have-disappointed me talk of a grandfather and once again forbid him from going anywhere and take back to that hell-hole. Yes, yes perfect plan.

"No Kingsley, I haven't checked there. But I'll do that right now. Thank you very much."

"Not a problem Albus." And with that his head vanished.

Albus turned to Mad-eye and said "If you will excuse me Alastor, I have a boy to keep safe." and with that he turned grabbed some floo powder, threw it into the fire and yelled "The Burrow!" and he was gone.

Mad-eye watched as he disappeared and said "Keep safe my eye."

Hermione awoke with the sun shining on her face. She looked up and thought what a nice way to wake up. She then noticed a Snowy white owl on the railing waiting for to wake-up. So she got up and went to Hedwig. She untied the letter and package from her leg. She hurriedly read the letter knowing that it is from Harry. When she read it, she was surprised.

However she was happy that he agreed with her about Dumbledore and she was even more happy that he liked her gift. She definitely wouldn't mind taking care of Hedwig. She only hoped that he was safe and happy wherever he was.

From the letter is sounded he was going to come and visit when he came back. With that she ran down the stairs to make sure it was ok with her parents.

All the while she was wondering what it was that Harry had said he wanted to tell her.

---------------------------------------------------HarryHermionePotter---------------------------------------------

Dumbledore appeared at the Burrow in the middle of what looked like a family meeting. Everyone of the Weasleys were present except Percy.

Molly stood up and motioned him inside "what can we do for you Albus?"

Albus looked around making sure everyone present was on him "well you see it appears Harry has gone missing and I was wondering if he has shown up here?"

Everyone had gone pale at the mention of Harry missing.

"No Albus he is not here! Do you think he is ok? Do you think You-Know-Who has him?" Arthur asked shakily.

"No Arthur I know for a fact that Voldemort does not have him. However that mean Harry left of his own free will. That does not bode well for now he has no protection."

Albus was stumped. Where could that idiot boy have gone??!! He knew not to leave and yet he did anyway! It makes no sense and now all of his plans were falling through. Well either way at least he still has the boys trust. He hoped. He turned to the Weasleys and asked "Do any of you have any idea where he could have gone?" Meanwhile, he used Legilimency to make sure they were all telling the truth that they didn't know where the boy was.

They all shook there heads but Ron said "Have you checked at Hermione's? He might have gone there. It is a lot closer than here."

Albus looked at Ron and with that apparated out of there, strait to Hermione.

------------------------------------------------HarryHermionePotter------------------------------------------------

After asking her parents about Harry and wishing them a good day at work she went up to take a shower. Then she went to her room picked up her blankets and comforter and pillows and made her bed. She then sent Hedwig out to hunt, she really loved that owl. She went downstairs to make some breakfast for herself. As she was finishing her pancakes, she heard a knocking at the door.

Before answering the door she yelled 'Who is it?" through they door. The answer was "Albus Dumbledore."

Hermione was surprised. What was the headmaster doing hear? Then she remembered Harry, probably looking for him. With that she pulled up her Occlumency shields full blast.

"How do I know that?" she yelled "tell me something only the headmaster would know!" with that she heard a chuckle.

"You, Ms. Granger received 16 O.W.L.'s."

Hermione knew only the headmaster would know that so she opened the door, keeping up her shields. Unbeknowest to Harry she had been training herself in the art so she could help in case he came to her for help. She now looked up to the headmaster in the eye, playing her part.

"Headmaster! What do I owe to this splendid surprise?" she beckoned him inside.

"Well I'm afraid I have some bad news." Albus looked at the young girl in front of him, she paled when he said that. He tried to use Legilimency against her but was thrown back by shields. Now she scowled "Headmaster, I would appreciate it if you did not try to read my mind."

Albus was surprised, not many people could feel him going through her. But he knew it was her. However she did not need to know that.

"I apologize Ms. Granger, but I was merely making sure that it was indeed you. The information I am about to give you is quite confidential" he looked at her and saw tears in her eyes now.

"Is it my parents? Are they ok?" she cried

"Yes dear, they are fine. However Harry is not. It seems he has gone missing. Do you know anywhere that he could be?"

Hermione's eyes got wide "No sir! Do you think he is ok?? Do you think Voldemort has him? Oh no! Maybe I could look up a way to find him. I did get this book about tracking charms. Maybe I could find-"

Dumbledore interrupted her rambling "No dear. You can't but I must be going. Maybe they have seen him in the Alley by now. If you see him, will you let me know?"

Hermione looked at him "Of course headmaster. I promise" she said as she walked him to the door. "Thank you for letting me know. I definitely have some reading to do. You have a good day and good luck with finding him. But can I ask you a favor?"

Albus was once again surprised by this girl "of course dear, what is it?"

"Will you let me know when you find him? I'll be worried until he is found..."

"Of course. Good day Ms. Granger" and he walked down the front path as the door closed.

Inside Hermione was leaning on the door thanking Merlin she took primary school drama to help with her acting talents.

Harry Potter awoke yo knocking on his door. He went opened it revealing Ramiche "It is time for Dinner with King Rashink, Master Gryffindor. We must be leaving now" and with that he turned a motioned for Harry to follow.

Harry was brought to a large hall with drapes depicting all of the Elven history. He saw one with a man that had an uncanny resemblance to him fighting of a man with Elves around him fighting together. He must be Godric Gryffindor, he mused to himself. In the middle of the hall was a large table with many Elves already sitting down. There were only four spots open as of now all near the head of the table. One was the head spot for the King the other was on his right-hand-side for the Queen. The other two were on his left-hand-side. That is were Harry and Ramiche sat. Harry guessed that Ramiche was the Kings advisor so of course he would sit near the King. Harry sat next to Ramiche. Just then the King and Queen entered.

They all took a seat and the King quickly turned to Harry "So how are you enjoying your rooms? Amazing are they not?"

Harry thought back to his room and the comfortable bed "Yes sir, exactly to my tastes."

"Good! Now do you see that young Elf down the table? He has two swords strapped to his back?" the King said pointing.

Harry looked and did indeed see the Elf which had long blond hair and Grey sharp eyes. He was tall and skinny but you could tell he was quite strong, "yes sir" Harry answered dutifully

"Well, that is our best swordsman, actually our best everything. He will be your trainer. Most Elves would kill to be trained by him and you get too! Isn't that exciting?!!" Harry nodded "Anyway, he is quite tough and he will push you to your limits and beyond. He isn't afraid to hurt you. Know that this year will not be an easy one for you. He will teach you everything he knows from the sword, to the bow, to magic. You will leave here quite well practiced."

Harry gulped but knew he needed this, so he simply nodded. The King seemed to understand his thinking.

"Now! On to some good news." He snapped his fingers and an Elf appeared with a large red and gold egg. "Do you know what this is Harry?"

Harry looked but could not place where he had seen the egg before so he shook his head.

The King smiled and said "I would hope not! If you had then something would not have been right! Anyway, I am sure you know all about our leaving custom?" the King asked.

Harry nodded and said "that any time you are leaving or someone is leaving you, you give them a gift correct?"

The King seemed please that Harry had caught on so quick "Yes. Now this will be you gift. This, my friend, is a Fire Gryffin egg. Normally you would not know your gift until you leave however this way the egg will have hatched about 2 days before you leave and can bond to you as your familiar. What do you think of that?"

Harry was awed and humbled. To be able to have this rare pet as his familiar and be able to bring it with him to his world was amazing. He looked at the King and nodded his head and said "Thank you so much your majesty! I really don't know what to say to thank you enough!"

The King simply smiled and said "Good. Now I would say you might want to get off to bed, your training begins tomorrow and I know you will need your rest. Have a good night."

Harry said thank you and excused himself from the table. He went back to his room and laid down once again but this time he fell into a deep sleep with dreams of Hermione.
