Chapter 14

Magic was disappearing in his old world. It looked like whatever he had done when he ripped the death eaters' magic had continued to unravel. It hadn't become noticed until a year ago when people seemed to not have enough magic. Even through Hermione's memories he could tell it was a simple fix. He never sealed the spell when he released it the first time and since he had been the one to cast it only he could stop it. It had taken Hermione months to find a trail of where the problem had begun but finding out he was still alive albeit in a different world was a coincidence.

Having been the one to hear the prophecy and then the one to find clues about his elvish ancestry and link to the Eldars left for him in a vault she inherited from him when he died, left in there by his birth mother. She had left it for Harry when he came of age and he would be able to learn about where he came from and try and find a way home with everything she had left him. Hermione putting two and two together and coming up with four had managed to do what Rowena Ravenclaw herself was unable to do. She found her way to middle earth.

Harry's smile widened as he watched his old friends his brothers and Glorfindel were about to pull back away from the humans when he said "It is alright they will not harm me. I have checked them and even had Lady Galadriel do a sweep through me. They are who they say are there is no need for alarm and I know why they are here." On hearing that Harry had consulted with Lady Galadriel to help him inspect the two and they had come up clean helped them to relax a little bit. However that did not mean they let down their guard. Glorfindel had his arm on harry stopping him from going any closer to the two.

"Fine but they don't come within striking distance. Or I will run them through" Hermione who was using a translation spell understood that was being said in the language of the elves and backed away taking Ron with after explaining they were told not be so close or they would be killed. Harry frowned at Glorfindel in annoyance. He knew Glorfindel would not harm them just because they got too close they had done nothing wrong and with Harry vouching for them should have been enough to at least warrant some trust, but as the twins flagged him on either side he knew he was fighting a losing battle. So he returned his focus to his guests. "Okay I know why you are here and the answer is no. You will not be getting what you came for. I am not leaving my home to save a world that did not want me." Hermione's eyes widened as Harry's words sunk in she managed to say in a small voice that had begun to tremble with tears "H.h. ?" Tears slid down her face as she looked at him. Really looked at him and she saw the resemblance to the friend she thought had died. Ron not quite understanding what was going on noticed her distress "Hermione! What's wrong?"

When she didn't answer and instead kept her eyes trained on Harry he did exactly what Harry expected him to do. He turned towards harry and shouted aggressively "What did you do to her?" All of a sudden before Harry could even speak the guards who were behind him had closed in on Ron and Hermione weapons drawn. One of them fired an arrow and it hit Ron in the chest making both Hermione and Harry scream. Harry pulled away from Glorfindel and ran to his old friends. Another arrow had been aimed for Hermione but luckily he managed to deflect it with his magic. He then shielded both of them from anyone else that might have attacked but no-one dared to with Harry so close. The twins knowing that Harry's magic would not keep them out followed him to protect him from the male who had shown aggression. By then Harry had knelt down by Ron and used magic to remove the arrow and heal the wound. When he was done Hermione turned on Ron and said "Are you deaf or were you dropped on your head too many times as a baby? I tell you they would attack if you went too close and what do you do? You stalk forward aggressively practically screaming to get killed." Ron had the grace to look ashamed of himself. He cringed at what it had probably looked like to the elves especially with a language barrier. For all they knew he could have been trying to harm them so they did the only thing they could they defended themselves.

Harry let down his shield and told the guards to stand down it had been a misunderstanding. He cast his own version of the translation spell on both his friends to prevent anymore misunderstandings. Hermione had only cast it on herself and she kept having to reapply it, she didn't have enough power to keep it going. Harry realised that her magic was wavering as well. Harry spoke to Ron "Are you alright?" Ron looked dazed, it made Harry feel a little uncomfortable as Ron had been his best friend and like a brother to him.

Did he have some kind of allure that he was not aware of? He didn't think so, despite the numerous betrothal requests no-one ever looked quite dazed but then again the only person who was from the race of men that he had met was Aragon, who had come to live with them about twenty five years ago and had become his brother via adoption. He had chosen to live as a ranger and was rarely home. Ron managed a "yes thank you" and seemed to have started drooling while he stared at Harry. Harry decided then that he was clearly too close to the other man and moved away.

Hermione just threw her arms around Harry and cried after saying "It is you." Harry raised an arm stopping Glorfindel from pulling her away and allowed her to cry on him till she calmed down. When he had her attention he said "Hermione I can't help you with what you came here for. I will fix yours and Ron's magic so it will not unravel like the rest but I don't see why I should return to help the wizarding world."

It wasn't really that she couldn't argue till she was blue in the face and produce a few reasons for him to help but she couldn't blame him either for not wanting to return especially after what he had been through. "Would it be okay if we stayed for bit just to spend some time with you? We missed you." There were tears in Harry's eyes as he saw understanding and acceptance in her eyes. He could tell the search may have started off as a way to find a solution to the problem but that had changed when she realised who she was on the hunt for. All the painstaking effort he had seen in her mind was for the hope of seeing him again and that made him feel very happy. "I'm sure ada won't mind and Ron I think the twins could teach you a thing or two about pranking and you can get back at Fred and George for using you as a guinea pig to test out their pranks. Ron was still too busy staring and didn't even respond. "I think I know what's wrong with Ron

Your allure is much stronger on him as he does not have enough magic to fight it off. I mean I can feel it but I can fight it off but then again I haven't lost as much magic as him. He's almost a squib now he can't use his magic to protect himself from it." Harry looked at her and said "Allure? I have allure you mean like veela?" He heard the twins, Glorfindel and even the guards laughing. It was Elladan who said "Gilgalad are you telling me that you are just under 700 years old and ada never mentioned your allure to you?" Harry faced his brothers and said "no I didn't even know I had it." Elrohir was practically red in the face now as he said to his twin in between snickers "Our little brother has not been given the talk yet brother. How long do you think ada is going to hold out?" By now even Hermione was laughing, she had picked up on what they meant by the talk. Harry growled in annoyance "Okay that's enough so ada has not seen fit tell me about something that he doesn't feel I'm ready for so what? Can we get back on track here? Oh since you know so much about this allure here.." He grabbed Ron by the arm and pushed him towards the twins "…you fix him." Ron was literally shoved into Elrohir 's arms where the only thing that came out of his mouth was a mourn causing Elrohir's pale face to blush. He grabbed Hermione and took her to his father's study where he knew he would be to ask if she and Ron could stay awhile.
