Ch. 3- Announcement
(Harry's P.O.V.)
Last Time:
He watched them go then remembered the number one question he wanted to ask.
"Wait, fair lady."
She turned back around and looked at him curiously.
"Will I still have my magic? Will I still be a wizard?"
"Here you would be called an Istar, and I do not know. I'm sure in time it will come to you."
With that she left. He heard her talking to a servant. Guess I will get ready. He walked back into his room and sighed.
He looked around his room and saw a mirror, he once again went to have a look. No matter how many times he checked his appearance he didn't think he would get used to it. He looked so different! His hair was flat, not the un-ruly mess it had once been, and he no longer had his mother's eyes. They were still beautiful, but they had been the one thing to remind him that he was hers. He wondered if he was going to live up to everyone's expectations. He never seemed to be able to get away from the spotlight, once a savior of the world, now a prince of an elven city. What else, he thought. He also didn't know what to tell the servant when she came in, did she know who he was? Or was she supposed to find out when everyone else did? Ugh, he was seriously thinking to much. He was about to lie down, but their was a knock at the door. Great.
-Knock. Knock.-
He went to the door and opened it, not really knowing what to expect. He was immensely relieved to see just another elf. She was very pretty. She had extremely pale skin, bright blue eyes, long silky silver hair, and looked quite young. He motioned for her to come in, she did just that. Once she was in he sat down on the bed and looked at her questionably.
"What did the lady ask of you, mam?" He noted she blushed.
"She inquired of me to help you fix your hair and find the proper dinner clothing. She said that we were having guests from different realms over for a visit and also that she had an announcement to make. If I may, I am thinking that announcement is you. Am I right, my lord?"
"You may call me Ha- I mean Marcaunon or Marc for short. What is your name?"
"Well Marcaunon my name is Lindethiel. I advise I start helping you prepare for the dinner. Lady Galadriel also said to look out for your newly beloved. I do not begin to invade your privacy but I'm afraid I have no explanation for that."
"She was referring to my life mate. She said he will be here tonight. Thanks for the message, my dear lady. Lets begin."
When we were finally done; I found myself fitting a greyish-blue tunic with silver leggings. I had my hair fashioned in three braids. One was my bangs in a thin braid to the left side clipped back above my ear, the second was a braid with pieces of thin hair on the right side behind my ear, and the third was a thick braid coursed down the layer of my back laying loosely. I must admit it looked pretty good with my outfit and a thin silver crown on the top of my head with two flowers adjoined together intertwining.
"You look charming, my lord. Are you ready to make your presence known?"
"Lead the way, my lady. When does dinner start?"
"When all the guests and people who were invited are in attendance. When you arrive I would say it will start."
"Are you staying? I want one familiar face to look to besides the lord and lady."
"I was invited, so yes. It would be a pleasure to offer you comfort."
She stopped at a thick looking door and I quickly followed suit. She motioned to the door and said, "Go on my lord. I am right behind you."
I was pretty nervous and didn't want to be the center of attention, but their wasn't another way. I walked up to the large door and pushed it open. It creaked slightly but that was all it took and everyone in the room stopped talking and looked towards me. I caught myself blushing and cursed my pale skin. Their were a lot of elves in attendance, but they had different sections: one was a table of elves with dark brownish black hair, the other had all golden hair, and I expected the last table to be from here because they all had silver hair like Lindethiel. I also saw the lord and lady in a throne at the front of the room looking at me in amusement. Their was another throne next to theirs, but it was slightly smaller and had tiny golden leaves going up the sides and back. It was pretty, and I remembered the lady referred to me as Goldleaf a while back. I guess the throne is mine. That's just what I need, more attention. Ergh, I cursed silently. The lady motioned towards the smaller throne and a lot of the elves looked at me in confusion. I just nodded to her and slowly but gracefully walked towards it. She smiled kindly and I also got a small smile from Celebron. I was unusually pleased to note that because he hadn't really talked to me apart from the introducing. I smiled brightly and finished my walk toward the throne and turned towards the dinner party and sat down more confidently. The lady chuckled under her breath knowing my thoughts. Celebron gracefully stood and extended his arm for Galadriel and she too stood.
He cleared his throat and said in a leader type voice, "We have an announcement to make."
I noticed a lot of the elves interest was peaked because they sat up straighter and looked him directly in the eye.
He continued, "My wife and I have recently added a new resident to Lorien and we want to make his presence known."
Most of the elves turned towards me slightly expecting the correct assumption.
He motioned for me to stand, I did albeit slowly.
Now half the room was paying attention to me and the other half to Celebron.
He also noticed but didn't comment on it. Instead he said, "Marcaunon Goldenleaf. Lady Galadriel and I have made him our heir and newly adopted son. He was sent from the Valar and you now know him as your prince. Please be respectful and I am sure he will corporate nicely."
I noticed a lot of the elves were really looking at me now and some were holding back gasps. One particular golden-haired elf was staring at me openly and I had to bite my lip to keep from gasping. His aura was beautiful. It was very bright and was white with golden and greenish specks. I don't know what was happening but something was pulling me towards him and I barely restrained myself from standing. I squirmed slightly and I saw a flash of desire shoot through his eyes. I found myself not wanting to look away but I knew I was going to go to him if I didn't. I quickly adverted my gaze and tuned into what Lord Celebron was saying. I didn't notice Lady Galadriel chuckling to herself and looking very amused of what had happened.
"The next thing is, I wanted to announce that we have visitors as I'm sure you have noticed. We welcome Rivendell and Mirkwood to our home. Thank you for joining us, Lord Elrond and King Thranduil. We will have a servant escort you and your company to your rooms. Pleasure of housing and serving you, may the Valar watch over this meal. Please help your selves to the food."
He nodded his head and bowed. Galadriel did too, so I also followed their examples.
I ate my meal slowly, trying to figure out what had happened when I stared into the Mirkwood elves' eyes. When I noticed some of the elves leaving, I figured I must of ignored the dismissing speech. When the room was clear and their were no more whispered discussions, I stood and saw Lindethiel standing in the corner obviously waiting on me. I went to go to her, but I felt the ladies hand on my shoulder. I turned towards her and she smiled at me and said, "Get some sleep, ion. If you need to talk to me in the morning about what occurred earlier, I will explain." {son}
"You saw? I'll find you in the morn. Thank you for the dinner."
"No need to thank me, you live here, too. May the Valar watch over your dreams."
She and the lord walked out of the room and I joined Lindethiel. When we arrived back at my room we said our good nights then I walked into my new room. I didn't even change clothes, I fell back on the bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the soft pillow, engulfing me in dreams about the mystical eyes that I saw at the announcement dinner.
I couldn't wait til' the talk in the morning.
