Flying Lesson
Hermione sat with Ai, Dudley, Ainel, who had just finished speaking with Dumbledore about something, and Ginny as they watched Harry, the twins and Ron try to teach Irumi to fly her broom. She couldn't help but laugh at the over zealousness of the boys and the look of irritation coming from the elfling, but then the boys really wanted to share their favorite sport.
Turning to Ginny, she asked, "So why aren't you down there too?"
"Because I'm not dumb… she doesn't need a fifth person interrupting Oliver,"
Finally Irumi had enough. "You… I don't like you… you two are one to many... it wasn't your idea to teach me… go sit down with them!"
"Wow… she sure is direct and to the point," Ginny sighed.
"Most Elves are Kit," Ainel muttered as he looked at Ai's spiral.
"Kit?" both girls asked.
"Ai drew a picture of you with fox ears and tail. It's best not to ask where he gets these wacky things from…" Hermione laughed.
"Possibly Anime," Dudley imputed to which Ai nodded his head but continued drawing.
"What else has he drawn?" Ginny asked.
"Let's see… there's a not to flattering picture of Ron the Weasel, two otter twins, Harry the Owl, Dudley the Pig… I think he gets that from Irumi, Malfoy as a ferret, me as a beaver, with a just joking speech bubble, and Oliver is a Panda bear…"
"Yeah… speaking of that nickname… don't get on the wrong side of that Elf!" Dudley muttered.
"What is she going to do? Punch me?" Ron asked suddenly.
"Some sort of martial arts moves," Harry shook his head at his best friend. "I was there when she came to visit Ms. Figg, though I didn't remember until now… thought she was a normal Muggle… except for the fact we both thought she was a ninja…"
This caused Ainel to laugh. "It isn't martial arts! Though the Elven fighting style is like martial arts…"
"Hey… back on the subject of Ai's pictures, did you say that Oliver was a Panda bear?" Ginny asked.
"Yes… why?" the brown haired girl asked.
"Because Ai… I want a copy of that to blackmail him once I get into school!" to which Ai replied with a salute and a smile.
"Oh… you're bad Ginny,"
"Bad like us!"
"Good job!"
"Stop incouraging her you two!" Ron snapped at his twin brothers. "Hey… where did Irumi go and why is Oliver so pale?"
"Irumi flew up a certain height and said she saw something. The next thing I knew was she was testing those brick walls and then actually went through one!" Oliver muttered. "We should have gone into the Quiditch grounds!"
"Yeah… but then we wouldn't have seen so well," Fred commented.
"You guys weren't even watching… Ai… not there or you'll disappear too! Hey!" Oliver was in a panic.
"Someone go and get an adult…" Hermione commented. "I'm going in after Irumi and Ai."
"I'm going too… I should have known they would do something weird like this," Ainel commented. "They always do…"
Both of the children then hurried forward and disappeared themselves through the wall. A site beheld their eyes as they found themselves in a circular area with thirteen statues. There were twelve of monks surrounding the outside and one of an Elf in the middle. Irumi was circling around the one in the middle while Ai waited patently.
"Irumi, what are you doing! Get down from there!" Ainel snapped.
"Can't… I have to see what the matter is and fix it so he can come back, but so far I'm not seeing it," a few minutes passed and she sighed. "I can't find the key to it…"
"Irumi… is this… Legolas?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"Yes…" Irumi commented. Ainel suddenly had realization hit him and turned pale. "I know there has to be a way to get him out… damaging the statues is out of the question… so I am not sure…"
"Perhaps I could help," said a voice that startled the children.
Author's note – Ainel folds his arm. "Who do you think is going to help us… and how do you think the situation is going to be fixed. And are you comfortably surprised?
