Summary: Legolas and Aragorn's life before their adventure at Hogwarts. PREQUEL to 'Elf at Hogwarts'. An A.U. (Alternate Universe) Fic.
A/N: Hello dearest readers, we're back! Aish and Angelica here… Since we can't continue Elf at Hogwarts anymore (cause it already has its new author and she's doing a really good job, she just finished writing the 10th chapter), we've decided to write a PREQUEL. We came up with the idea of writing a prequel during one boring ******* subject. So, dearest readers, without further ado, we present this prequel to you… *drum roll*
Here's the usual:
*…blah blah .* means they're speaking in Elvish language
And here's something new:
' blah blah….' Means thoughts.

Chapter 1: The Meeting
Aragorn was busy practicing sword fighting with Boromir when a messenger arrived informing him that King Arathorn wanted to see him. He left Boromir without a halt and went to the throne room.
When he arrived at the throne room, he saw his father sitting proudly, as all kings do, on his throne.
"You wanted to see me father?" He asked at once.
"Aragorn, I called you here to tell you that King Thranduil and his son Legolas will be arriving here for a meeting between Elves and Men. This meeting will strengthen the alliance that exists between Elves and Men. So my son, I want you to entertain and accompany Legolas as my meeting with his father and with other Elven Kings progress," King Arathorn said.
"What?!? You want me to accompany that… that… brat?!?" Aragorn exclaimed unpleasantly.
"Yes Aragorn, him, and his not a brat so don't call him one," King Arathorn said sternly.
Aragorn looked down instantly, feeling afraid of his father, and then he looked up again and tried to tell him that Legolas was a really bad elf. "But father, do you know what he and the other Elven princes did to me when the meeting was held in their kingdom?"
"No, enlighten me please," King Arathorn said.
Aragorn frowned and said, "Well, they teased me. They told me I don't look like a prince because I'm so dirty and my hair is so messy."
"Aragorn that was… what…? Ten years ago? It happened a long time ago and you haven't forgotten it yet? Aren't you maturing?"
"Father! Of course I'm maturing but I still hate him," Aragorn's frown deepened.
"Well, I can't do anything about that now, can I? But you will still accompany Legolas during his stay here and that's final," King Arathorn said authoritatively and Aragorn knew he couldn't do anything anymore.
"Very well then father," Aragorn replied sulkily and he turned to leave the throne room.
Aragorn was then near the door when he heard his father speak again, "Aragorn, you and Legolas are old enough now, I expect you two to get along well and to respect each other, is that understood?"
Aragorn faced his father again and replied, "Yes father." Then he left the throne room.
* * * *
"Prince Legolas, your father wanted to know if you're all ready to go to Gondor," An elven messenger said as he knocked on Legolas' door.
"Yes, please tell him I'll be down in a minute," Legolas replied. He was lying on his stomach braiding his long, golden hair. 'Oh, why do I have to go to Gondor with him? Huh! Like I really need to be there' Then, he rolled on his back as he finished braiding his hair and stood up. He picked up his bow and quiver. He went down to the throne room and announced, "I am now ready to go, father."
King Thranduil smiled as he saw his son enter the throne room and said, "Very well, then let's go."
King Thranduil and Legolas then started their journey to Gondor together with some of their warriors. After quite some time, they arrived at Gondor and they were welcomed warmly and were sent to the guest chambers so they could get some rest before the feast that would formally start the meeting begins.
As soon as Legolas went inside the guest chamber where he would be staying during their visit, he looked for the bathroom and gave himself a nice warm bath. 'Oh it was such a tiring journey,' he thought. He relaxed a little and started singing.
* * * *
Aragorn ran out of the palace as soon as he heard that King Thranduil and Legolas arrived. Yes it was rude but he really doesn't want to see Legolas. So instead of being in the palace, socializing with the newly arrived royalty, he decided to do his favorite past time which is visiting all the balconies in the palace. Uh huh, it might be the weirdest past time of all but not to out dear Aragorn. He loved going on the balconies specially those balconies on the highest floor of the palace where he could see almost all of Gondor.
As he went to pass on one balcony, he heard someone singing so he stopped to listen. The voice of the singer mesmerized him and he hadn't noticed that he was going to fall. Good thing he didn't fall off the balcony or he'll be dead by now. He fell in the balcony and there was a loud crash and he knew the singer heard it because the singing instantly stopped. He tried to get up but he must have broken a bone and he was in pain so he had nothing to do but face whoever was coming out of that guest chamber.
* * * *
Legolas stopped bathing abruptly as he heard the loud rash at the balcony. He hurriedly took his leggings and tunic on and grabbed his bow and an arrow from his quiver. He went out of the bathroom and aimed his bow then he saw someone in pain at the balcony. And this someone wasn't just someone but it was the prince of Gondor, Aragorn.
* * * *
Aragorn looked at the lady who went out of the bathroom and was allured by the beauty of the lady. He was enchanted by her long golden hair and sexy… Wait a minute… Women, even she-elves for the matter, do not wear tunics and leggings! And they do not go out of the bathroom holding a bow and arrow and having them aimed at you. He panicked and he tried to move again but his broken bone (now he knows where) on his right arm prevented him from doing so.
* * * *
Legolas put his bow and arrow down on the floor and went near Aragorn.
"What happened your highness? How did you break your right arm?" Legolas asked Aragorn gently.
"I fell," Aragorn answered simply.
Legolas helped him up and guided him towards the bed and he let him sit there. Then he gathered some herbs that would make the healing faster and applied them on Aragorn's broken arm. Then he bandaged it with some bandages and with something hard.
After being treated, Aragorn said, "Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me your highness. One's glad to be of service," Legolas said with a smile then he guided Aragorn out of the guest chamber.
Aragorn stood confused in front of the closed door then he shrugged his shoulders and went to his own chamber.
TO BE CONTINUED… or not…
