So here's Chapter Two. Big thanks to everyone who's favorited or followed the story so far, I really appreciate it! Also a huge, ginormous thank you to my five reviewers! You guys sure know how to make a girl feel special. As always, I don't own either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings.

Chapter Two

Goodbye

One week later

"But why do you have to leave now?" Whined Ron, as he hugged her goodbye. He was determined not to let her see him cry, but that didn't stop him from begging.

"I told you, Ronald." She said, exasperated. "I want to find my parents. I need to see them." Ron just squeezed her tighter.

"I don't want you to leave, Mya." He said. She looked at him with fondness.

"I know, Ron, but I have to." She answered.

"Why can't I come too?" He was beginning to sound childish and he knew it, but he couldn't stop.

"Because this is something I need to do on my own." Was her reply. Finally agreeing he reluctantly let her go. As she turned to pick up her bag, he leaned in to kiss her. She pushed him away, looking him in the eye. "I told you Ron, I don't love you like that. Part of me wishes I did, because I don't wanna hurt you, but there's someone for you out there so much better than me. Promise me you won't wait for me to get back. Move on and find love." Ron looked at her, before nodding resignedly.

"I will, Mya, but part of me will always love you." Ron said, sadly. She smiled at him before turning to step in the fireplace. Steps on the stairs behind her made her pause.

"Mya, wait!" Ginny called before running into the room. She held a package in her hand that she thrust into Mya's hands. "I couldn't let you leave without giving you a goodbye present. I've been working on it all week." Mya smiled at the young Witch.

"Thank you, Ginny." She said, "I will treasure it."

"It's a scrapbook of your years here with us," Ginny explained, "so you won't forget us." Mya felt tears threaten as she hugged the girl tightly. Not trusting herself to speak, she nodded and stepped into the fireplace.

"Number 12, Grimmauld Place!" She said, loudly before spinning away. Ron watched sadly as she left, before going to see if there was something to eat in the kitchen.

She arrived in the living room of Grimmauld place almost instantaneously. Harry heard her arrive and came in to greet her. He pulled her into his arms in an embrace that almost shattered her heart.

"You're really going, then." He asked her.

"Yeah, I am. I have to find them." She said, twinging at the lie.

"By yourself?" His next question.

"Everyone else is busy rebuilding the magical world." She replied. "I need to go now." She was determined.

"I'm not." Harry said, "I can go with you." She looked at him in surprise.

"Really?" She asked. "You want to?"

"Yes, I want to." He said. She got up and nervously started pacing, causing him to look at her bewilderedly. "What's wrong?"

"I haven't been completely honest with you, Harry." She said, looking at him. "I'm not who you think I am."

"Then who are you?" He asked her. She pulled out a pendant that she always wore under her clothes. Taking a deep breath, she removed it.

Harry gasped at the change that washed over her. She became slightly taller, her skin was more pale. She took on a fiercer look and her ears became pointy. Her wild, frizzy hair was tamed and lay in waves framing her face and emphasizing her deep eyes, which were now cerulean and looked more ancient and wise.

"I am Myana Ehiztari, daughter of Elrond Halfelvin, Warrior Princess of Rivendell." She said looking at him. "I am an Elf, Harry."
