The Path of Elf Magic

Whenever Cedric and Megan weren't with him, Harry could usually be found in Dobby's company. After Harry asked, Dobby started teaching him about elf magic and while it was different from wizard magic, it was still magic. The main difference was how the elves channeled their magic. Dobby knew that with Harry's power level, he could easily do this type of magic and so started teaching him that magic was all about intent and imagination. At first, Harry had a hard time grasping it as it was just too simple and made too much sense.

After Harry struggled for a while, Dobby just told him to tell his magic what to do. Again, this was too easy for Harry but after a while, he compared it to accidental magic and knew it was possible as whenever he had performed it, he got the results he desired even though they were unfocused and wild. As he followed this line of thinking, he knew if he told his magic exactly what he wanted instead of a general idea, he could achieve the results he desired.

Getting the desired results were still not easy for Harry and so Dobby sat down with him and taught him how to meditate. Dobby said "Dobby always being able to touch magic. Dobby thinks elves are born with it. Harry touches magic too just in a different way. Dobby wants Harry to sit down and close his eyes. Dobby wants Harry to stop thinking about anything but Harry's magic."

Dobby watched as Harry did this. "Now Harry needs to find his magic. Follow it back to where it comes from."

Harry said "It feels like it is all around me and not somewhere specific."

"Dobby understands. Does Harry trust his Dobby?"

"You know I do."

Dobby grabbed his hands and joined him is his head. In Harry's mind, an image of him standing there holding Dobby's hand appeared. Dobby said "Wes going to follow the bond to my magic first so Harry can see what it looks like."

They started walking along a light green pathway that led to a glowing green orb that pulsed with energy. Dobby said "This is Dobby. Without this, Dobby be no more. Without Harry, this won't be. When Harry dies, so does Dobby but Harry can live on without Dobby. This is the bond we share."

Harry asked "So if I die, you will too? That's not fair."

Dobby smiled "Dobby wanted it this way. Most elves bonded to family so as long as family lives on, so do the elves. Dobby only bonded to Harry not Potters. Dobby will follow his master in death but not until Dobby has finished taking care of Master. It was the cost in order to fix all the problems Harry had."

"I don't understand."

"Dobby will live long enough to make sure all of Master's orders are fulfilled. Once this is done, Dobby will join Master once again to take care of Harry in the next life."

"Not that part, the part about fixing me."

"For Dobby to fix Harry, Dobby had to tie his core directly to Harry's. It was too much for Dobby's magic and Dobby joined Harry's magic to do what needed to be done."

Harry looked at him wide eyed. "You killed yourself to help me?"

Dobby nodded. "The dark magic behind Harry's scar required a sacrifice to make it go away. Dobby gladly sacrificed his magic to help Harry."

Harry was stunned and did the only thing he could think of. He knelt down and hugged Dobby. "I don't know what to say but thank you. I guess this means we will have to work hard to make sure I don't die anytime soon. I can't let my best friend down now can I?"

There were tears running down Dobby's cheeks. "Harry thinks Dobby is his friend?"

Harry shook his head. "No Dobby, I think you are more like a brother than a friend. I would be lost without you."

Dobby returned the hug and then jumped up. He grabbed Harry's hand and led him quickly along a pathway. It wasn't long before they were standing in front of a large white pulsing orb. Dobby said "This is Harry's magic. Dobby thinks yous needs to step inside it and then you will understand."

Harry did as he was told and felt the connection to his magic better than he ever had. When he stepped back out, all Harry could say was "Wow!"

Dobby said "Now grab a piece of it and bring it with you. It will form a line that you can follow for now. We be going back to where we started"

In the blink of an eye, they were back at the beginning and Dobby let go of Harry's hand and left him standing there. As Harry opened his eyes, Dobby was looking at him with a smile on his face. "Can you still feel it?"

"Yeah"

"Harry needs to do this every day until he doesn't need the line. When Harry can do that, we will be starting new things."

As the weeks progressed, Harry's ability to follow the line became easier until he no longer needed it to touch his core. Harry's next lessons were taught without a wand and were so much easier than when they first started out. Harry got to the point where he could call up whatever he wanted. Dobby declared him taught and told him to just keep in practice. With this new ability, Harry found that the occlumency Cedric and Megan had been so painstakingly teaching him came easily and since he understood the theory and the results of the practice, he easily formed a strong shield that would keep anyone out until he could get away.
