A/N: I hope you like this chapter. In the last chapter Hermione was four when she met Legolas, she was eight when she moved in to the Longbottom house, and it was three years later when she started Hogwarts. Towards the end of the chapter she is fifteen, and I made Ron a jerk, because I don't like his in this story. I want to thank you for all your wonderful reviews, and this chapter is going to be a lot of lovey dovey, since Hermione is sixteen now.

An Ageless Love – Chapter 2

He couldn't take his eyes off as her, as she leap from tree to tree, shooting the various targets marked in the trees. She was using the bow he made for her, when she had turned fifteen, and couldn't believe she was now sixteen. Tonight was the night of there ceremony, where Elriel, would bind them under the elven stars. Tonight was thenight, in which she finally turned sixteen, and he couldn't be more happy.

She leap from the tree, landing right in front of her, with a radiant smile across her lips, "Just four more hours, and I am officially sixteen, and we are one. I am glad my birthday is in a winter holiday, and dad permitted this to happen," she stared up in the trees, and spread out her arms, "I am glad not many people know of this place, my second home."

The blonde smiled, as he stared down at her, and brought a hand to her cheek, "I am looking forward to the ceremony, which will finally bind us as one. I wish we didn't have to return to Hogwarts, and just live out the rest of our lives here, but I know you couldn't do that to your father."

"The wizarding world is my first home, and I don't think I could ever turn my back to it, nor could I turn my back to this place," Explained the young witch / Elf, as she started walking back to where her grandparents were, as they set up for the ceremony. "So am I better than you with the bow, yet?"

"You are strong," Admitted Legolas, as he followed behind his heart, looking forward to tonight.

The young woman squealed, when she found her father, Neville, Agnus, and godparents, all standing beside her grandparents. She hurried, and embraced her father, "What are you doing here?"

Severus sighed as he looked to his child, and cupped her cheeks in his palms, "I wouldn't miss you sixteenth birthday, and this bonding ceremony for anything, you're growing up so fast." He kissed her temple, "I am proud of you, you've grown into a wonderful young woman."

Agnus approached the small family, and wrapped her arms around the young woman, kissing her cheek, "I am honored to be invited here, it truly is a magical place," she looked to her grandson, and held out an arm to him, "Come greet your friend, Neville."

The young wizard smiled, as he approached his sister-like-friend, and wrapped his arms around her, "I'm glad to know you," he looked up in the trees, towards where a group of elves were standing, and staring down at the new arrivals, "They don't get many stranger's, do they?"

Elriel approached the group, and wrapped his arm around his daughter, as he looked to the young wizard, "My people, they don't see many outsiders, but they know you are family to my 'Star'."

Hermione noticed the confusion of the two Longbottom's, and smiled as she looked up at her grandfather, "He calls me his little Star, because the night I was born, a star was also born." She took Agnus's hand, and looked to her godmother, "Would you two like to help me get ready for the ceremony, with grandmother Jasmine. Normally my mother would hand prepared me herself, but since she is no longer physically here, I want the two closes woman to a mother to help me."

Minerva smiled as she wrapped her arms around her godchild, as they followed her grandmother towards a hut, "I would love to help you get ready child."

She loved the people in her life.

Legolas stood beside Severus, as they looked into the clear pond, waiting for the ceremony to start, "I am pleased you made it, Severus."

"I wouldn't miss my child's bonding, for anything in the world," The wizard responded, as he watched his young pupil, and daughter grandfather looking at various plants, "I was asked to invite Agnus, and Neville, to come along since they are family. I knew I couldn't come without her godparents either."

"Yes, Mione, she is really pleased they're here," Admitted the Elf, smiling as he recalled the excitement of seeing the group made her, "I want her to always be happy."

"I have to return home tonight, but I know she will be in safe hands with you, you have looked out for her all this time," Confessed the Wizard, as he rested a hand on the Elves shoulder, "I thank you, Legolas. I know she will be cared for, if something were to ever happen to me."

"May the stars forbid anything to happen to you," Legolas knelt down to the water, and stared straight across, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Just continue to look out for my daughter," Answered the wizard, before he turned and walked away.

The Ceremony

"We are combining Elven tradition, and wizarding tradition, in binding these two hearts together," Elriel started, as he stood beside Albus, as the couple stood in the center of the circle. He waved his hands, as he walked around the couple, causing different colored lights to appear, "May two hearts be bind, and your homes be in each other."

"Hermione, daughter of Amariel, and Severus, do you take this man before you, as your life partner?" Albus asked, as he raised his wand between the couple.

Hermione stared into Legolas's eyes, and smiled as he cupped her cheeks, "He is my home, so of course I do."

"Do you Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood, take Hermione as your life partner?" The older wizard smiled as he watched the couple, and seeing as the elven, and wizarding magic danced with each other.

"For all Eternity," Answered the blonde, as he moved his hand to around her waist, and brought hers to around his neck.

The older wizard smiled, "I now announce you bonded." He turned to look at the older elf, "Elriel?"

Elriel took the spot the wizard had just vacated, and turned to face the couple, as he raised a arm up towards the sky, "Beneath the star, and Moon above, we are all witness to your bonding. You two may now share your first kiss, congratulations." He smiled as Albus, and Agnus, shot out sparks from there wands. "It is now time to celebrate my 'little Star's' sixteenth birthday, and her bonding."

And without another word, music began to play, and the Elves started to dance.

Later That Evening

Legolas smiled as he brought his heart into his hut, bringing her into his arms, "You are mine," he whispered, pressing a kiss to her temple.

Hermione smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck, and brought his face down for a kiss, "And you are mine."

That night they showed each other, how much they loved each other.
