NB: There is a BG flavour of this story. If you're more into BG, go read
that version instead!!
CLAIMER/DISCLAIMER: Casy is mine (leading char. from BG). Jaheira belongs to the brains behind BG, Legolas to JRR Tolkien/LoTR, and everything else to JK Rowling!!

*^^FOR THE ELVES!!^^* (Harry Potter flavour) … cos elves RULE!
~ Part One ~
A tall handsome elf named Legolas stood patiently under a tree, shading himself from the sun. Locks of long blonde hair stuck out from under his hood and hung over his deep green eyes.
He turned and squinted beyond the tree, to a shimmering field of green grass where two figures were quickly approaching. He slung his bow behind his back so as not to look menacing when he approached.
'Hail there!' called one of the figures, a lady with long brown hair that was spotted with beads. Her ears poked up very clearly through it and Legolas glanced at them.
'You are an elf?' he questioned.
The lady gave him a curious look. 'Half,' she said. The man beside her pushed back his hood and stared hard at Legolas. His own pointy elf ears protruded from specially made holes in his leather armour.
'Was that an insult or a threat?' he spat.
'Hush now, Casy,' said the lady elf in gentle rebuke. 'We have not yet cause to be suspicious.' She turned and smiled at Legolas. 'Your name, good elf … sir?'
'Legolas.' he smiled and held out his delicate slim hand.
'Jaheira, and well met to you,' replied the lady, shaking his hand. 'And this is Casy.'
The tall man beside her drew himself up exaltedly and allowed the blade of his sword to glint in the sun. 'Yes, I'm Casy, and I'm a well-trained Swashbuckler so you'd better beware.' he said, with a devilish grin.
'Good for you. I am an archer and I am not afraid to draw my bow.'
'Boys, boys…' sighed Jaheira. She paused and squinted into the distance, and then froze. Two figures were approaching; one tall and bushy-haired, the other green and small. As they got closer it was apparent that that little creature had pointy ears like an elf, but he looked nothing like Casy and Legolas and Jaheira.
'Greetings!' cried Legolas, striding forward and offering out his hand. The bushy brown-haired girl shook it, grinning and showing buck teeth.
'Hi, I'm Hermione,' she said jovially. [A/N: I know, I know, Hermione's not an elf but I have to use her anyway] With her other hand she gestured at the creature beside her. 'And this here's Dobby.'
'Greetings, sir. I is Dobby, a house-elf. And I has work at Hogwarts. Miss Hermione's school.' He, too, drew himself up (as much as any vertically challenged person could) and looked dignified.
'Yes! Of course. I am Le—'
'You – you have work?!' cried Casy, cutting rudely across Legolas' words. 'You are… how much are you paid?'
'Er… Dobby is paid a Galleon a week, sir.'
'A… *Galleon*!?'
'Yes sir. Dobby thinks you would not understand because you are not in the wizarding world.'
His eyes flashing wildly, Casy turned desperately to Hermione. 'Please, good lady, we're adventurers come side-tracked! The adventuring road is wearing on our gold! We need a job! Any job!'
Jaheira pitched in, 'We can do anything you want! Anything! We can cook; toast, rabbits, trolls. Even marshmallows! Please, please help us!'
Legolas' face lit up as though he had a sudden idea. 'You can assist our fellowship back in Middle Earth. Many fellows I know wouldn't mind roast marshmallows from your hand… although… they would indeed be able to pay you but I doubt that what we have back there would be of much use with you existing in another dimension.'
Hermione paused and looked thoughtful. She turned to Dobby. 'S.P.E.W isn't running anymore, is it? It's a shame. Though I'm not sure that it would qualify to cover elves outside of the wizarding world.'
'Outside of the wizarding world!!?!?!' Jaheira's eyes glittered dangerously. 'My buttocks!' And she mumbled nonsense and threw a bright gleaming ball at Hermione. All at once the girl began to blow bright blue. 'Aid spell,' muttered Jaheira. 'You're lucky I didn't curse you!'
'All right.' squeaked Hermione in a tiny voice, looking very cowed. 'All right. I'll help you. You can come back to the kitchens and… and cook for us. Yes. Dobby. Come.'
Dobby beamed at Casy and Jaheira. 'Dobby thinks it is a good job to have. Dobby cleans, cooks in the kitchen! Much fun!' He looked over at Legolas. 'But Dobby also be thinking, sir, that your friend is hot.' Legolas stared blankly at him, though without blushing. Most likely he was used to the admiration. 'Might we take him with us?'
'Oh, yes.' said Jaheira absent-mindedly. She was quite busy ogling at Legolas' chest though he wasn't a woman and didn't have any breasts (which would have made her gay…). 'Come on. The task is at hand. Onwards to the Hogwarts kitchens!'
