Why Me?

Disclaimer…….. I do not make any money or own Harry Potter that honor is to JKR and WB……..

A/N: Thank you to all the readers around the world and to all that had made this fic one of their favorites.

In another realm, two children looked at their captors with fear. Emilia had been able to set her shield up, for a few minutes but wasn’t able to sustained it, it was too taxing.

“Keep your energy child, you will need it” a mocking voice sound. One of his captors casted a sleeping spell to Thomas, leaving Emilia to confront the leader.

“Who are you? What do you want?” she asked crying.

“My name is Gaelel and as for what we want; simple, you. You were supposed to be this great ambassador for the realms, they set you as a princess, giving you gifts, because you will be bringing peace and prosperity, blah, blah, blah. That never is going to happen.” Coming closer to her; “you see, that is not good for my business, we need war and chaos to be happy”

“You are a demon” she said. “My, oh my, intelligent little thing; are we?”

“Where are we?”

“Is a house located between realms; not here not there. Most people call it the underworld, hell or limbo depending on the religion. But what it truly is a separation of what makes you one with the universe. Enough chatting, get them in the dungeons.”

Two people grabbed them roughly. Once they put them in a cell she notices that Thomas was still unconscious. She had never been so frighten in her short life. But she needs to focus, concentrate. She needs to find a way to return. He was injured or he could be death. No, no she cannot think like that, her Papa is fine and he will be worried. She needs to think. What her father always told her? Constant vigilance. But now she needed to see how she could send a message to her protectors or the opportunity to open a portal, if it opens she thought, with all this demons around probably it wouldn’t work. She is also responsible not only for herself but for Thomas. Her training wasn’t got to the part of dealing with demons.

If Ael was there what would be the first thing he looked for? Looked for windows, sounds, pay attention to the conversations and relax to be able to concentrate so the magic will transcend. She is tired, cold and hungry. She decided to get some sleep.

Three days later……….

He could hear voices around him. He tried to open his eyes that felt heavy.

“We have to tell him” a voice that he recognized as Ron.

“He is in a very delicate state” said a second voice that was unmistakable Hermione.
With a raspy voice;”What you need to tell me?”

“Harry, you are awake!” that was Luna. He tried to sit but everything hurts.

“Where’s Emilia?”

“Ah, well……”

“Where is my daughter?”

“Harry you need to calm down, you were hit with a Sectumsempra and you are not completely healed”

“This is me being calm Hermione, but hell will break loose if you do not answer me. So, for the last time; WHERE. IS. MY. DAUGTHER?” he shouted, his magic making everything shake.

They looked at each other before answering, “Harry, Emilia was taken.” He looked from one to the other asking that if there were joking.

Before neither one could do anything, they start feeling Harry’s magic crackling and immense force send them to backwards. Harry stands from the bed, holding himself to the reel of the bed. His eyes full of anger. “How many days I have been unconscious?”

The response came from Ael, “Three days, Harry”

“Ah, now you show up. I will ask you then, Where is my daughter, Ael ” Harry’s patience and rage was growing by the minute, his magic were totally out of control.

“We cannot tell you, because what is surrounding her blocks everything else, we suspect that she is another realm or there is too much evil around her.”

“So let me get this straight, my daughter had been missing for three days, AND YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING” as he spoke the windows of the room shattered. Everyone ducked to avoid the flying crystal pieces.

He walked slowly to the door, transfiguring his hospital gown in jeans, t-shirt and sneakers using wandless magic. “Consider myself release from care, Hermione. I have to look for my daughter” storming out of the door, nobody dare to stop him.

Luna recovered first and followed him. In his condition more than one could get hurt if they have the audacity to confront him.

As soon as she was out of the building he saw him apparated, if she knows him well there is only one place that he had gone.

“Where are you going?”

“Luna, that is a very stupid question?” she got closer to him with very slowly movements, the magic around him still crackling. “And where are you going exactly without a plan of action or a location?”

That seems to do it, his movements stop and he slump to the floor sobbing.

“Why me? Why I have to return? Why I exposed her to danger? Why? I should bind her powers and never introduce her to magic, she had been safer” desperate.

“Harry, don’t say that. That could had been disastrous, she is so powerful, she was destined to do a wonderful job, you are only the mediator and primary guide and protector; eventually her powers had shown and then what? You could not change who you are and this could had happen anywhere. She had been target since birth for being your daughter as for being a Princess. We have been searching since she was taken. The only thing that we know is that she wasn’t taken alone. There was another child, Pansy Parkinson’s son, Thomas Burke. She is very strong Harry, I promised she will come back to us, but we need the Harry Potter, strategist and warrior to stand to the plate.”

“Luna you are asking me too much, she is my daughter, for God sake”

“We know that Mr Potter, but there are evil forces combine from both realms that want to destroy the future that your daughter represents; a future with peace and prosperity to all realms.”

“I just want my daughter back where she belongs. She is just a child. Why you were not able to protect her?” he demanded.

“Once we followed her to the alley, a dark force blocks our sight.”

“Can you feel her Harry?” Luna asked.

“I only feel her emotions”
Sinora interrupted “Good, that signified that we haven’t lost all connections to her, there still hope”

“Let’s get to work” Luna said. Defeated he followed them down stairs.

They are cold and hungry. They had been in and out of it for the past three days.

Pacing and coughing in the cell, Emilia couldn’t see the solution. ‘What they want from me, I’m only a kid’. The constant whining from Thomas doesn’t help either. She starting to get weaker and her chest hurts; she knows that once the coughing started an asthma attack was imminent. She needs to get out, and soon.

At that moment the door opens, she recognized the person as a wizard, Avery. She recognized the name from the books of JK Rowling about her father. He is a Death Eater, but what he wants from an alliance with a demon is something she hasn’t found out yet, but she kept her ears alert to pick on any conversation.

It was the time that they took them to the bathroom. ‘At least something is civilized around here’ she thought distracted. “Think Emilia think, ok here goes nothing’. “Mr Avery, what you are going to do to us?” Avery snorted.

“If it were for me, you were dead by now, but the boss is waiting for a star formation or something so he will take your powers and your life force”.

“That would be to her, I didn’t do anything” whined Thomas. “Boy you are a coward, at least the girl is not whining all the time and asking for her mummy like you”

Every time that they take them out of the cell Emilia looked around and does a mental note of everything that she saw to see if she can sense any dark magic, up on till now she hasn’t but they haven’t been alone so she can open test opening a portal.
“
Mr Avery, did any of you have perform dark magic here?” annoyed “You ask to many questions, girl. Are you sure you are Potter’s daughter, you sound more like that mudblood.”

“Don’t call my godmother a mudblood you big fat bully, she got more magic in her little finger than you, you jerk”

“You be careful little girl, or you will know what a Crucio is, before you can say Quidditch”.

Emilia kept quiet from that moment on, but time was running out and if she wants to see another day she needs to start using her brain. She certainly knows that her father is looking for her and that he will found her, but she needs to help in any way she can.

Once back in the cell there was a moment that they were left alone, usually those moments didn’t last long so she set her plan in motion. She wouldn’t be able to open a portal to escape but she can open a portal to send a message.

“Thomas, I need you to watch the door, while I do something.”

“What is in it for me?”

“You are really an arse you know,” coughed, “do you want to get out of here or not?” he nodded. “Ok, so keep an eye on the door and if you hear anything let me know” he nodded again.

“Oscailte tairseach” (open portal)” a little hole ripping a piece of her clothes, she sends it through the portal.

‘How do you do that?” he asked. “That is not important. I hope that my Papa see it”

**************

They all felt the ripple of magic in the house. Frantic they start looking from where it came. Jacob and Scorpius were the first in her room. They found Mino, playing with a piece of fabric. They didn’t think was too important until Harry came in.

“Mino, what do you got here? Oh my God, this is Emilia’s!”

Ael touched the piece of fabric and smelled it. “She is with a demon.” Looking at Harry he continues. “If my suppositions are correct, she is in the in between.” He gave the piece of fabric to Sirona.

“She sends this through a portal? She is getting weaker.”

“What? What do you mean weak?

“What I meant was that she wasn’t able to open a bigger portal to escape. It could be the dark magic surrounding her or that she is getting sick.”

“She can use her healing powers, right?” Sirona shook her head no. “Her powers are to heal other people and not to be used on her”
So, what are we waiting for?” said Harry “Can we reverse the portal using the fabric?”

“It could be done but only two persons that love Emilia could go in, once you are in there grab the children and get in the portal as quickly as possible. Once in the portal you will be safe. Stay in one of the cities until you receive a signal from me.”

“I am the logical choice I’m her father.” Hermione step forward and said “I will go, she is my goddaughter”.

“Hermione, I’m grateful for the gesture but you have a family to think about, we don’t know how messy this will go and I don’t want anything to happen to you’

“But Harry…” he put a finger in her mouth to stop her. “I’ll go” from the hallway came Luna’s voice. “She was in my charge and I feel responsible, besides who couldn’t love the little rascal once you know her” she smiled.

“Ok, the portal would take you close to where she is, once you are there you will have about one hour until the second portal could be open. The second portal will be open with the combine magic from Emilia and you Harry. A bit of advice, if you encounter any evil being do not turn your back on them.” said Sucellos.
Harry took his invisibility cloak and his wand, looked at Luna and nodded.

“We are ready, open the portal”

“Good luck. Oscailte tairseach” (open portal).” A hole opens in middle of the air, before the astonished eyes of those present.
Before he crosses the portal he looked at his friends Ron, Hermione, Draco and Neville. “Will be waiting, bring her home Harry” Ron said.

Draco went to look for Pansy, to explain what had happened and bring her there to wait for her son.
