Part two
-Trip Home-
It seemed too soon when their trunks were being put into carriages. The elves were chatting away in Elvish as Harry Ron and Hermione put away their trunks. Fleur Delacour came by to thank Harry and Ron again and mentioned she might try teaching next year. After she left on the Beauxbatons carriage, Viktor Krum came to say goodbye to Hermione. Before he left, Ron asked him for an autograph. However the Durmstrang's were held up again when Voron came to bid Liz farewell. He caught her in a kiss she wasn't expecting, then handed her a letter and whispered something before walking off.
Half an hour later, they were on the Hogwarts' Express to King's Crossing. They were able to get a compartment to themselves. Dmitri and Aranel said it was too crowded and moved to a compartment next door alone, which Saira, Liz and Ita didn't like. Every few minutes, they would elbow the wall just incase.
Harry seemed much more comfortable and was finally ready to tell everyone what happened, although Saira already knew. The conversation broke when the lunch trolley arrived. After they ate, the topic came to Rita Skeeter, the horrible woman who wrote terrible things about Harry all year. Hermione said Rita wouldn't be writing anymore confusing everyone.
She then pulled out a jar with a beetle inside and went off explaining how Rita was an unregistered Animagus. She was looking quite smug with herself. Just then the compartment door slid open and Malfoy peered in.
"Very clever" he said menacingly. Saira realized what everyone had been talking about when they said he was the scum of the earth
"So you caught some pathetic reporter and Potter's Dumbledore's favorite boy again. Big deal" He smirked making Saira lose all respect for him
"Trying not to think about it are we? Trying to pretend it hasn't happened?"
"Get out" Harry said. Everyone glared at Draco. Saira muttered a protection spell in case Malfoy tried anything so that her friends would be safe.
"You've picked the losing side Potter! I warned you! I told you, you ought to choose your company more carefully, remember? When we met on the train, first day at Hogwarts? I told you not to hang around with riffraff like this!" He said looking at Ron and Hermione, but avoiding Saira." Too late now Potter! They'll be the first to go now the Dark Lord's back. Mudbloods and Mugglelovers first! Well-second-Diggory was the f-"
A series of loud bangs erupted and spells flew in every direction. They all blinked and saw Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle lying unconscious in the doorway. Everyone used a different hex but it seemed Fred and George had too.
"Thought we'd see what those 3 were up to." Fred said stepping on Goyle's face as he walked in the compartment. George followed being careful to tread on Malfoy as he did.
"Interesting effect" George said, "who used the Furnuculus Curse?"
"Me" Harry said
"Odd" George said lightly, "I used Jelly-Legs. Looks as though those two shouldn't be mixed. He seems to have sprouted little tentacles all over his face. Well, let's not leave them here, they don't add much to the décor."
"It's a miracle none of us got hit" Liz said
Saira smiled proudly but said nothing.
They kicked the unconscious Slytherins out and played a few games of exploding snap. Then Harry interrupted Fred and George to ask whom they'd been blackmailing. They explained how at the Quidditch World Cup, Ludo Bagman had paid them in leprechaun gold that disappears after a while.
The rest of the ride was pleasant and they weren't ready for it to end. They arrived at King's Crossing and stumbled past Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle carrying their trunks. All the elves and Ron and Hermione continued through the barrier separating platform 9 ¾ from the rest of the world. A few minutes later, Harry and the Weasley twins emerged looking very happy.
Saira and Liz said their goodbyes to Harry. Then Ron and Hermione. Finally Mrs. Weasley hugged him tightly and Saira saw Harry walk away with a very large man with a bushy mustache.
"Harry, wait!" Saira called
He stopped as she jogged up.
"Vedui" she said to the man and woman.
"Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, meet Saira, one of the few elves at Hogwarts"
"Elves?" he said
"Yes, I'm from Hyrule. Anyway, I just wanted to say Vedui and to Harry, I'll be at Mirkwood all summer. Send me an owl if you can. I'd love to hear from you"
She hugged him ignoring the sneering looks from Vernon and Petunia.
Liz and Ita waited for Saira saying goodbye to the Weasley's. A few seconds later, Dmitri and Aranel emerged with Legolas following behind carrying his own bag.
"Well, your bodyguard has arrived" Liz said "Now make sure you write"
"Don't worry, I will." Liz and Saira hugged. Then Liz grabbed her trunk and started walking away. She was staying in London for the night with Ita before they both went to Rivendell.
Ita gave Saira a quick kiss, "Namaarie"
"Namaarie"
Dmitri and Aranel walked up
"Hey love"
"Hey, Are you guys staying too?" Saira asked
"No, we are going to Mirkwood until my father sends for me" Aranel explained
"That's great"
Legolas walked up, "Everyone ready?"
"Yeah"
"Sure"
"Definitely" Saira said, "Um, but you might want to change into Muggle clothing"
Legolas was still in middle-earthen attire
"Yeah, we're all in t-shirts and jeans."
"Earth" Legolas said annoyed, "Okay stay here"
He went into the bathroom to change and had obviously used magic because he had barely gone out of sight before he emerged. His hair didn't do much for the look though.
Saira giggled, "Come here" she took a hair tie and pulled it back into a sexy pony tail
"Ok, let's go before people start noticing that we all have pointed ears." Aranel suggested.
Legolas led the way. They took the subway to London where they went to the Leaky Cauldron. There was a courtyard out the back door. There were brick walls surrounding it. The wall to the right began to blur.
"Right on time" Legolas said, "After you"
"Are these systematic? Is three a scheduled time?" Saira asked
"Not exactly but they are created if needed"
"Oh"
They all walked through and were surrounded by a bright light. A few seconds later they appeared in the middle of a forest. There were horses waiting for them, but they were one short and Legolas offered to share which Saira took him up on.
"We should reach Mirkwood in about an hour"
Before they knew it, they were entering the beautiful forest city. Dmitri had a look of awe on his face but Aranel was used to these sorts of cities and greeted it heartily. Saira finally felt like she was home. She dismounted the horst and closed her eyes overwhelmed with happiness.
"Love, this place is brilliant" Dmitri said staring up
"Isn't it." she opened her eyes and smiled
Two elves walked up to greet them
"Welcome back Lord Greenleaf" The bowed
The elves grabbed everyone's trunks and carried them away as one walked up. He too had long blonde hair but brown eyes not blue.
"Ah, Tarowyn, good to see you" Legolas said
"Master Greenleaf. Welcome home. Your father will be delighted that you're home. And you've brought guests"
Saira remembered briefly meeting Tarowyn. He had been at dinner every night at the front table so he must have been pretty noble.
"Saira, if I'm not mistaken. The Seer has returned. As, and is this the young Princess Aranel Thingol?"
Aranel bowed
"Wait, Princess?" Saira said
"Yeah, I don't tell many people"
"Wow, my girlfriend is royalty" he pulled her into a hug and kissed her
"Who is this young elf?"
"Dmitri's the name" he said shaking Tarowyn's hand
"Please, escort out guests to their rooms. I'm sure Saira remembers where her room is" Tarowyn said to the elves as they returned.
"I'll meet you at dinner later" Legolas said to Saira as he departed for his room
"Please escort Dmitri and Princess Aranel to their rooms" Tarowyn repeated, "I'll walk with you" he said to Saira
Dmitri and Aranel followed the two elves up a staircase one tree over from Saira but a walkway connected them high above the ground. Saira and Tarowyn went to her room. When they reached it, she walked in and was once again filled with a sense of belonging. Her dresser was filled with her clothes and her four-poster bed was made with silky sheets. The desk was blank all but an inkbottle and a quill. Saira sat on down on the bed.
"We'll call you when it's time for dinner. Lord Thranduil is having a feast to greet you and your friends. I recommend--"
"Changing into something more formal?" Saira finished
"Yes." He said leaving Saira. She watched him walk down the stairs through the window. She also saw Dmitri walking up. He knocked on the door then came in without waiting for Saira to open it.
"Hey love. So this is your room?" he asked gazing about her large room
"Yep, this is where I stayed the first time I came with Legolas"
"Your room is bigger than mine"
"Maybe but you're not going to be here that long. Anyway, you're a friend to royalty. I'm sure you'll get great treatment"
Saira walked to her dresser and pulled out the amethyst dress Legolas had given her.
"Wow, is that a dress?" he asked jokingly
"Yes. And don't laugh" she stepped behind her dressing screen and changed. When she emerged, Dmitri looked shocked
"You know, you should really wear dresses more often."
"I only do it here because its inappropriate to dress casually in the presence of the Lords"
"With the way he looks at you, you could easily become royalty yourself."
"Who?" She said fixing her hair up
"Oh, I don't know. He's tall, has bright blue eyes and is a Prince, oh, and he looks at you as if you're the only thing he sees"
"You mean the way you look at Aranel?"
"Ye-no!"
Saira laughed. She didn't get a chance to retaliate because Tarowyn came to the door saying dinner was ready. Soon Aranel showed up all dressed up herself.
"Hey, love could you save me time?"
Saira changed Dmitri's look magically until he could pass off as a Prince. However he wouldn't let her change the hair. Then they headed down together
Dinner was spectacular. Saira finally had someone her age to talk to. She kept glancing over at Legolas thinking about what Dmitri had said. She and the others ended up ducking out early and went to the river pool to talk.
"Oh, ok. I know, let's play Truth or Dare" Dmitri said
"Oh not that stupid Muggle game. And with only three people?"
"Don't call if a stupid Muggle game. We used to play this all the time in Hyrule"
Saira looked at Aranel then agreed
"Yes! Alright, Saira?" he said
"Truth"
"Aw, wimp. Ok, do you ever think of cheating on Ita?"
"What?" she asked shocked then realizing this was Dmitri and most likely a joke, she said, "Depends on with whom"
"Who?"
"Nope, you'll have to save that for another question" she said slyly. "Ok, Aranel?"
"Truth"
"Okay, what did you first think of me when I got to Hogwarts?"
Aranel hesitated, "I really don't want to answer that"
"C'mon its just a game." Dmitri urged kind of curious
"In all truth, I didn't like you. No offense, but you seemed a little stuck up and plus, well the whole Ita ordeal."
"Okay before we continue I want to make one thing very clear" Saira said not trying to sound mean, "I told Ita--"
"Saira, forget it. I don't care anymore. Anyway if it wasn't for you, I never would have met Dmitri"
They turned to look at him but he was gone
"Dmitri?" They said together
"Hey love!" he said loudly
They looked up. He was standing atop the rocks above the pool of water poised to jump.
"Dmitri don't you remember what happened when you fell of Gerudo Falls?!" Saira yelled back.
"Why? What happened?" Aranel asked beginning to be worried
"He wanted to prove he could"
"But what happened?" Aranel pleaded
"He slipped and hit just about every rock on the way down. I jumped in a saved him but he'd broken a lot of bones and ended up spending a month in bed. I started learning healing spells because of his stupidity"
Hearing this Aranel yelled, "Dmitri get down!!"
"C'mon, it's only 30, maybe 40 feet"
"Dmitri I'm not kidding!"
He looked at Aranel. However, Saira had something else on her mind. She felt as if someone or something was around watching them. Aranel and Dmitri continued to yell at one another.
"Shh!" Saira yelled. "Dmitri I never thought I'd say this but I want you to jump!"
"What? Are you crazy?" Aranel hissed at Saira
Saira whispered to Aranel in Elvish, "There is something here. Listen" she whispered
The wind blew and by the look on her face, Aranel sensed something too.
"Listen, when he jumps, use magic to slow him. Whatever it is it's up there but Dmitri. If you dare Dmitri to jump, he'll do it. He never backs down from a dare."
Aranel nodded and yelled to Dmitri and Saira made her way up the rocks
"Dmitri I dare you to jump!" Aranel said
"Seriously?!"
"Yes, Jump!" Saira was almost to the top when an orc jumped out of the bushes running at Dmitri
"Dmitri! Jump!" Saira yelled
The orc barely missed him. Dmitri wasn't helped though because another orc had Aranel bound
The other or barred his teeth at Saira. She glanced and saw Dmitri floating in the water. She held her hands behind her and muttered the fireball spell Legolas had taught her. This time she didn't care how much power she used.
She threw a ball at each of the two orcs. One threw Aranel in the water and the other jumped in the water to put of the fire. Saira ran down to help Aranel carry the unconscious Dmitri. The other orc was still flailing around trying to put out the fire. They must have been making a lot of noise because many elves ran through the trees to help them.
Saira and Aranel pulled Dmitri out whose ankle was at a sickening angle.
Legolas ran up, "Put him out!" he yelled pointing at the orc
Two elves helped carry Dmitri
"Take him to my father" Legolas shouted
The orc was put out but gave off a foul smell.
"Why are you here?" Legolas yelled holding a knife to the orc
In a raspy voice he answered, "I was sent by Lord Ganondorf to dispose of the Seer and kidnap the Princess"
Legolas stood and nodded to a different elf that came and slit the orc's throat. Then he turned to Saira and walked over to her.
"Saira, are you alright?"
"I'm fine" she said falling back into a vision
This was short unclear and painful. There was a flash of Ganondorf reading a letter then barging his fist on the table. She came to of the vision holding her head. She tried to stay conscious, but it was difficulty because of the pain in her head.
She felt someone pick her up and carry her away. She felt the person running fast and then laid Saira on her bed. She finally fainted feeling the silky sheets of her bed. Legolas kissed Saira's cheek as she fell asleep. He went to check on Aranel who was lucky to only have a few cuts and bruises.
He entered her room but she wasn't there so he went to Dmitri's. He'd already been bandaged up
"How are you?" he asked
"Could be better" she answered
"Your father sent for you before this ordeal. Escorts will arrive in the morning for the both of you."
"Thank you'
Legolas bowed and left. 'What a start to the summer' he thought. He was proud of Saira though. She had defeated two orcs magically by herself.
