A.N.: I have to thank my wonderful beta-reader, Farah, for al her enthusiasm and support (not counting those many hours at the chat listening to me trying to make a decent plot) and, obviously, for making the text a bit more readable for the readers.
Disclaimer: I'll only write it this once: I don't own neither Harry Potter universe (background), nor Lord of the Ring's, nor the Darkover series (from where I took the mechanics of the psychic powers), and much less Star Wars (naming and stuff). I'm only mixing elements with a (I hope ) plot for the fun of it and, God knows, I'm not making any money with this stories.
Important: This fic was originally posted at the Crossover section, but honestly, I thought this was much more of LoTR than a crossover, since the 'crossover' bit is mostly in the background and hardly appears. Also its rating was raised from PG-13 to R, for all the violence, cursing and sexual themes implied. It was also thoroughly revised at 5-5-03.

Prologue: Concerning Arien"The world is changed.
I feel it in the water.
I feel it in the earth.
I smell it in the air
Much that once was is lost.
For none now live who remember it." Galadriel, LoTR (movie)
What has gone on before:
With the defeat of Sauron at the first War of the Ring, the peoples of Middle earth try to go back to normality. Galadriel, lady of Light, sends her sister Aredhel as an ambassador to the northern elven realms of Greenwood and Arton. However, when Aredhel leaves Greenwood to go to Arton, her party finds the elven realm destroyed by an expanding human empire from the north. She barely escapes, but her bodyguards are killed in the conquer battle where two mortal armies fought over the lands, they had the misfortune of stepping into, and she is later caught prisoner.
Aredhel keeps secret about the southern elven realms and guarantees that the Dorian empire would not invade south. With time, she fell in love with a general of Dorian, Glaucus Antonius, they got married and had two children, Andrea and Ariel. Their elven inheritance was kept secret with lies and isolation. However, Dorian was too corrupted and the emperor puts one minion against the other in order to keep them weak. In the games of power, Glaucus is unjustly charged for treachery and his family dies trying to escape, saving the youngest child, Arien.
Arien fled seeking the legendary haven of the half-elven. Aredhel believed her half elven offspring wouldn't be entirely welcome in either Men or Elf realms, as most of the peredhil crawled in the shadows to a secret kingdom of theirs in the First Age. With the help of Fangorn, she learns the localization of Antar, but when she was approaching the city, Arien crossed an interdimensional gate – a wide marble wall with huge marble gates- and was transported to Earth, a land of incredibly advanced technology, were non-magical folk (Muggles) live not knowing of the existence of with wizards and witches, unicorns, vampires and all kinds of magical creatures.
With the help of Dumbledore and the emotional support of the Weasley family, Arien is enrolled at Hogwarts, a great school of witchcraft and wizardry, where she first learns how to use magic and that not all wizards are good. Shortly after her arrival the Wizard World War erupts, when all wizards separate in two sides and fight fiercely for over seven years, and most the students of Hogwarts join the side of Light. Arien was separated from her Weasley friends and sent to the Mediterranean Resistance unity in France, serving there until the final battle in Phoenix, Texas. After the fall of Voldemort, wizards return to their lives as it once was, and the group of Ravenclaws known as The Eagles travel around the world writing two books on curiosities from both Muggle and wizarding society. Arien later marries Sirius Black, her former superior in the Intelligence department, and after his death goes to Hogwarts as the Charms Professor and Head of House of Ravenclaw. One hundred and fifty years later, Arithmancy experts from the Order of Phoenix point the exact time and place of the next gate opening, and Arien crosses it to go back to Middle earth – Only Interdimensional gates are not precise in its time/space delivery and the half-elven arrives at earth on what had been her homeland (Dorian), almost three thousand years after her departure, and one hundred and nine years before the Second War of the Ring.
All Arien wanted was to find a nice place for her to settle down, continue teaching magic and enjoy herself in peace.
Fate had a different agenda…
