The following week was very difficult for Ori and Kili, some students were unfriendly, some were rude, while there was also a group trying to kiss their asses and benefit from the acquaintance. Bofur was the only real friend they had and so they spent all breaks and time after school together. Two week going to school went by really fast and slowly the school got used to them, and they got used to the school. Legolas would send them a cold glare from time to time, but he never approached them anymore. Having individual lessons was way better than being in class with all the other students so both boys profited greatly from going back to school.
At the end of the second week however they had a difficult situation. When they were going to the library they noticed a group of boys standing around something, or as it turned someone. It was small kid probably first year and he has cute curly locks all around his face. The other kids were kicking the boy and yelling rude things at him. Kili seeing that went furious, he jump in front of the group, pushed away two boys and told them to fuck off.
"He's a fag! Let us finish the job!" One of the boys told him in rage.
"So what!" Kili replied and held a firm glare and he immediately noticed Bofur and Ori get the kid up from the floor.
"Leave him he's a Durin!" One of the boys whispered to the other most aggressive boy.
"Durin my ass! There hasn't been a Durin in this school for eight years!" The boy replied spitefully. "If you think you can come in here and use a fancy name like that without any proof you're wrong!" One of the boys told him.
Kili face was stern, and anyone who knew Thorin would have recognised the strong stare and cold eyes.
"You're speaking about things you have no idea about!" Kili replied with a strong grim.
"Kili..." Ori whispered quietly trying to warn his best friend.
Before Kili could step down the boy took a swing at him, and Kili reacted instinctively and punched him in the face.
And that's when Mrs. Galadriel was passing down the corridor.
Half an hour later the whole school was whispering about a person who entered the school, and the voices were spreading. "Fili Durin came in to get the new kid!" "He really is a Durin!" "He's so handsome!" "I wish I could get just one chance to talk to him..."
When Fili arrived at the headmaster's office of his old school he stopped and wondered in what kind of trouble Kili was in so that they would call him in.
"Fili!" Gandalf smiled happily at the newcomer. Fili saw many people gathered in various parts of the big office and he rushed to see Kili and Ori standing by the window in the company of another boy.
"Mr. Durin this boy here who claims to be a part of your family hit my boy without warning!" A woman approached him and began gesticulating, she pointed to her son whose face was covered in blood, probably from a broken nose.
"He wanted to hit Kili first!" Ori told Fili immediately.
"He wanted to save me, so please don't be mad at him..." A cute dark haired boy began to cry.
"It's outrageous such violent kids are accepted in this school!" The father of another kid added.
The boy crying the people yelling and demanding something from him drove Fili crazy.
"Shut up all of you!" Fili finally told them. And the woman just murmured "How rude!"
"Kili what happened?" Fili turned towards Kili trying to keep a cold face and play the parental role instead of the lover he really was.
"They were kicking this boy and calling him names and using bad words." Kili told slowly, but when the other parents tried to say something Fili gave them a cold glare which made them shut up.
"We helped the kid but they decided to pick on me instead, they said some rude things and that kid wanted to punch me so I punched him." Kili said emotionlessly.
"Ori do you have anything to add?" Fili turned to the boy who was trying to calm down the crying boy.
"It was exactly like Kili said." Ori told him.
"He saved me..." The crying boy added.
"My son says something different!" The woman began speaking. "He said that kid pushed him and later punched him and..."
"I don't give a shit what your son said." Fili informed her doing his best Thorin style face and thinking what Thorin would actually do in this situation. The woman just gasped and went silent.
"Gandalf can we see the footage from the school monitoring system?" Fili asked the headmaster.
"No one informed us that there is a monitoring system in the school!" The man gasped.
"If you would have read the school rules carefully you would find a note that a school monitoring system was installed for safety reasons several years ago." Gandalf informed the two parents.
"Yes, I have the recording ready." Gandalf played the film on the TV; it was evident a group of boys was bullying the small kid and that Kili, Ori and Bofur helped the kid out.
"It's evident who is at fault, so the case is closed. I expect an apology from your juvenile delinquents and if any further attacks happen I will file for the use of the recording for trial reasons." Fili noticed coldly.
The woman pushed her son forward, who was still holding his bloodied nose, and the boy quietly said "I'm sorry." The man did the same with his son, and soon they were gone.
"Thank you for coming. Some of these parents have no sense of reality." Gandalf noticed.
"So where are your parents?" Fili asked the crying boy.
"Dead..." the boy started crying again.
"His uncle couldn't arrive." Gandalf replied. "He's a close friend of mine." He added.
"So you're not going to protest if I take the boy with us for lunch?" Fili proposed.
"Not at all just bring him back before one." Gandalf replied.
"Are you coming?" Fili smiled at the boy and went out of the office.
The hall was filled with students and many of them were staring at the four people leaving the school. It was evident to all that Kili was speaking the truth about his relations to the Durin family, which really surprised many students and which made Legolas really mad.
During lunch Frodo, the boy they helped, explained that his parents died and he was adopted by his uncle. They moved to New York from a small town and Frodo had lots of problems adapting. Frodo was really surprised when Ori told him about his family and quickly they got along. Kili took Fili's hand under the table finally feeling safe again. He tried not to show it but the situation really stressed him out and he was worried how Fili would react, it felt really good to know Fili had his back and the way he put those people into their place was kick ass.
After driving the boys back to school, Fili wrote a message to Thorin about what happened.
