A/N: Hello there again! Thank you so much for your reviews! Finally this chapter covers their first lesson of the term and Alfirin's first lesson with Harry and mates. Enjoy!


Chapter 11: The First Lesson

"Harry," Dean Thomas, a fellow Gryffindor and Harry's room-mate shouted as he climbed through the portrait hole into the common room. "Professor Alfirin wanted to see you now."

"Really?" asked Harry pratically jumping out of his chair.

"Yeah, she asked me to tell you to see her in her classroom. What is it that she wanted to see you? It's Sunday today."

"Ugh, not sure.Thanks anyway, Dean." With that Harry climbed out of the portrait hole and ran towards the Ancient Runes classroom as fast as his legs could carry him.

Knock, Knock!

"Come in," said Alfirin as she paced around the room.

"Alfirin?" called out Harry.

"Come here, Harry. Sit down," urged Alfirin, as she held out her hand towards the door and casted a Silencing Spell.

As she sat down on a chair opposite Harry, she stared at Harry with a grim look before she began. "Harry, it looks like you have a gift of foresight like Adar."

"Huh? A gift of foresight?" asked Harry puzzled.

"Yes, Harry. Every elf have a special talent in them. Like Adar is foresight, me is healing. Apparantly that dream of yours are the future when u defeated Voldermort, but he was not dead. He was just too weak to resurface. So he said he wanted to go look for someone to help him get stronger."

Alfirin paused for a while expecting Harry to ask questions but received none. She continued, "that battle scene you dreamt, Adar, Glorfindel, Erestor and I agreed that it will be a battle in the near future."

Harry jaw dropped to the floor when he heard the words near future, which meant that he will involved in a battle sooner than he thought.

"Harry, Harry, are you all right?" asked Alfirin, which Harry jumped.

"I'm all right. I'm just thinking I will be in battle sooner than I thought. And I don't feel good about it," said Harry slowly.

"Oh Harry," whispered Alfirin as she walked over to Harry and hugged him. "I swear to protect you even if it costs me my life."

"Your life? Wait, isn't Elves suppose to be immortal?" asked Harry, humourously.

"Ha, you can joke now."

"Galadriel, what do you think?" asked Lord Elrond

They had talked through a full-length mirror that Lady Galadriel of Lothlorien had put in Lord Elrond's study room and hers at Lothlorien. They used that to communicate to each other whenever they had something important to discuss.

Lord Elrond had told Lady Galadriel about the dreams Harry had.

"Those creatures that Harry dreamt which were unknown to him, with the what he described, it looks to me that they were Orcs," said Lady Galadriel seriously.

"Orcs? Are you sure?" asked Lord Elrond with a raised eyebrow. "How can they travel to Harry's world? It is absolutely impossible."

"Not totally impossible. If you think carefully, remember the dream about the hut?"

Lord Elrond thought about the hut and the conversations Harry heard. Suddenly his head jolted up staring into the mirror at Lady Galadriel with seriousness.

"The precious. You mean the one those two are looking for is Sauron?" his tone deep and dark.

Lady Galadriel did not say anything but smiled at Lord Elrond. Lord Elrond's face grew dark. "No, this cannot be. How did he know about Sauron?"

"That I am not sure. Somehow he did managed to know about Sauron and the Ring and found a way to access to them," said Lady Galadriel. "And I believe the scene about the battle, what Harry saw standing side by side Voldermort is Sauron himself."

"Lord Elrond's eye grew wide when he heard this. "Wait a minute. You mean that battle is after Voldermort and Sauron had combined? This cannot be!"

"Ion nin, you cannot deny it, for that is the truth."

"No! Orcs cannot stay under the sunlight. They can only move about in the dark."

"Obviously, this is another species of Orcs," replied Lady Galadriel amused.

Lord Elrond did not want to believe it. Two worlds would be in trouble if Voldermort and Sauron were to be combined.

"Morning everyone, silence now," said Alfirin as she walked into the classroom.

Harry and Ron were seated in the front row, right in the middle. While Hermione were on their left with Parvati Patil. They were once again joined by Slytherins. Ancient Runes was their first lesson after lunch, before that, they had Defense Against the Dart Arts, double Transfigurations and Care of Magical Creatures.

Everyone fell silent as Alfirin walked towards the front of the class. Well, almost everyone, except for the three Slytherins, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. They were busy whispering to one another to notice that Alfirin were standing in front of them.

"Ahem!"

No response.

Alfirin knocked on the tables with her knuckles and the three of them jumped and looked up only to find Alfirin staring at them with angry eyes.

"Are you here to study or to talk? If you want to talk, I will be gladly to invite you three outside where you can talk all you want," said Alfirin in a serious deep tone. Giggles could be heard from the Gryffindors and a few from the Slytherins. Shades of reds could be found on the three faces as Alfirin turned back to her class and began her lessons.

"By the way," she said, turning towards Malfoy, "ten points from each of you for talking in my class."

As Alfirin tried to began teaching, Malfoy made a statement that made all the Slytherins laughed.

"I'm sure you are no older than twenty-three. How do you suppose we can trust you to teach us? I would not want to fail any subjects this year," stated Malfoy.

Alfirin looked at Malfoy and smiled, while Harry stood up angrily and demanded an apology from Malfoy.

"Ooh hoo, what has it got to do with you, Potter?" sniggered Malfoy. "Trying to get Professor Alfirin on your good side like you did to all other professors? Or have you got other ideas on the Professor?"

By then, all of Gryffindors had stood by Harry took their wands out of their robes aiming at the Slytherins who also had gathered around Malfoy aiming their wands at the Gryffindors.

"ENOUGH! WANDS DOWN, GO BACK TO YOUR SEATS!" yelled Alfirin.

Everyone were stunned by the uproar from Alfirin and went back to their seats.

Walking towards Malfoy, "Thank you for your compliments, Mr Malfoy. What proof do you like to see for you to trust me?" Alfirin asked in a mock sweet voice.

"Let's see, how about receiving twelve Outstandings in NEWT during my school years? Or how about the knowledge on Elvish languages, Dwarvish, Common Speech and several other, probably thirteen, ancient languages?" asked Alfirin, as she began speaking in different languages.

Harry could not help but cuckled at the look on Malfoy's face.

"I hope that is enough to convince you?" asked Alfirin, which Malfoy nodded. "Now for all those troubles you all made just now, twenty points from both houses."

Alfirin was started her lessons with a revision of Elven language, Sindarin. Unlike Professor Babbling,whos class was as boring as History of Magic, Alfirin's class was more lively as there were a lot of interactions between professor and students. Often, Alfirin would give out some quizzes. As that was the last class she had for the day, Alfirin asked Harry to stay behind after the lessons.

"Harry, is there any more dreams you had?" asked Alfirin, after she casted the Silencing spell on the door.

"None for now. Why do you ask Alfirin?"

"Nothing. Adar asked me about it. Now, Harry, if there is any more dreams, come tell me at once. Do you hear me?" said Alfirin, seriously.

Harry was surprised by the seriousness from Alfirin, he couldn't said anything but nodded.

"Good. Now, how was my lesson just now?" asked Alfirin relaxed.

"It was so interesting! I love it! But, when did you get twelve OWLs? You did not even attend school," asked Harry, smiling slyly.

"Well, I did not in fact. That was Valar's doing," replied Alfirin, smiling equally slyly.

Harry did not buy that at first, but he could not stay for long as he need was getting late for the next class.

After Harry had left, Alfirin casted an incantation and went back to Rivendell, not realising she would be hearing some bad news that would shook her.
