1. In The Beginning

This work doesn't belong to me (It belongs to 'AislingSiobhan' on another website) and am just posting it on here so I and others can read it on a website we love

There are only three types of beings with any power in this world. Humans rule by numbers. There are more humans on this planet than any other creature. Then there are the Elementals. It was said, that many years ago, Elementals used to be Witches that they were able to wield wands and cast charms and spells, but it is not so today. Elementals are a bred race. If your mother is an Elemental you are sure to be, the same as if your father was an Elemental. However, if an Elemental male and a human female were to procreate, the likely result is that any boy in the union would be human.

The Elementals can wield and focus the natural magic of the planet, the magic of the water and fire, air, earth and lightning, and rarely the power of darkness and moonlight. There were a few who could even channel all the elements at once, and convert that power into the power to heal. Healers were rare, and revered. While there are Veela and Vampires, they are not plentiful so they have no real power behind their names. However, the Werewolves were once like them.

Many years ago, an Elemental named Tom Marvolo Riddle was born from a union between an Elemental female who died during the birthing process and her human rapist. He was an Elemental, strong and powerful. He may have been stronger than the Royal Elemental. The Royals are the family who reign over all of the others.

During Tom's lifetime, it was a man named Albus Dumbledore. Albus could have no children, so he adopted a young man named Alfred Potter. Alfred was the son of two Pureblooded Elementals who had died young. Alfred went on to become Dumbledore's successor.

Tom grew up quickly, like most bitter and cynical children did. And as he grew he came to realize how truly powerful he was. He gathered followers; his followers split the Elementals into groups of Light and Dark. The Dark followed Tom's ideals, while the Lights opposed him and paid him no mind. It wasn't until the Alpha Werewolf at that point got hold of Tom.

His followers searched for him, but when they found him, he was no longer the Tom Riddle they knew. Now, he was Lord Voldemort, and he was the Alpha of the largest Werewolf pack in the land. Many of his followers feared him now, and some turned back to the Light, but none of this deterred Voldemort. He blamed his father for his fate. If his father had not raped his mother, his mother would not have died and left him with Dumbledore. He would not have been turned into a creature. He did not take into account the slight fact that if his mother were not raped, he would not have existed. But, rage is never logical.

And so, Lord Voldemort went on a rampage, and he killed many and he was feared.

Until Albus Dumbledore rose against him, and sacrificing his own life for the greater good, Albus defeated that evil Werewolf, Lord Voldemort. No one chose to remember that Tom Riddle had been an Elemental long before Voldemort became a Werewolf.

Alfred Potter took the throne, and he had a son, who had a son, who had a son, and so forth. Until eventually James Potter was born. James had a son as well, but we'll get to that in a moment.

After the defeat of Voldemort, many of his followers were killed, but there were some, like Amantis Malfoy who claimed to have been forced to do what he did for fear that his young son would be bitten. It was too late for the Lestranges, for they had already been turned. Everyone knew that the Prince family were filled with spies, so no one questioned their involvement, but it was another matter for the Parkinson family. They were cursed, and banished for their involvement in the war. Any boy of their name would be cast out from the Elemental society and forced to live as a human, any girl, however, could be left in the care of another Elemental family. Such was the case with Pansy.
