Soft, sweet voices were the first thing she heard. Ginny smiled and opened her eyes to find Ireth and two females that Ginny did not know talking quietly. That's when Ginny realised that she was lying in the softest bed she had ever been in. She felt as if she was lying on air. One of the females had spotted that she was awake and had stepped closer. Ginny thought that she looked rather like Elladan and Elrohir but decided to find out later as Ireth stepped forwards.

"How are you feeling Ginny?"

"Very good actually. Where am I?"

"Middle Earth. Rivendell to be exact. Welcome to my home." She held her arm out to the huge bay window and Ginny gasped when she saw the view.

The valley was amazing. Everything looked so peaceful and tranquil in the setting sun. There was a balcony with seats on it and Ginny recognised the silvery blonde hair as Draco. As Ireth help her out of the bed Ginny noticed that this was the hospital wing. She quickly stepped out of the doors making Draco turn. He smiled when saw her and pulled her close.

They hugged for a while looking at the sun slowing disappearing. Ginny tilted her head up to ask Draco a question when he kissed her softly and sweetly. She blinked up at him and they kissed again which was interrupted by a shout from the ground.

They looked down and saw both sets of twins running for their lives from Molly. Ginny started laughing and led Draco back inside.

"How long was I out for and how much have I missed?"

"Only a day and those four having been causing trouble since your brothers arrived. I dread to think what they will do next."

Draco laughed as Ginny started grinning. Ireth led them out to the main courtyard where Harry was chatting away to some of the guards as if they were old friends. Bran was sitting on the high wall smiling at the view and Neville was talking to a handsome dark haired human who looked up as they appeared on the steps. Ireth smiled and rushed forwards and grabbed his hands.

"Estel! It is so good to see you again!"

"As it is to see you Ireth."

She smiled and hooked her arm through his and turned to Ginny and Draco.

"This is Estel, or Aragon as Legolas calls him. As you can see he is human and is under the care of Lord Elrond who you will meet tonight with everyone else at the welcoming meal." This made Harry and Bran look round

"What welcoming meal?"

"The meal that we will all have with Elrond, Mithrandir and Elrond's family. Don't you remember yours?"

"The twins got us drunk at all three Ireth."

"Oh yeah. Bran go and ask the kitchen staff to not send alcohol to the twins. I want to be able to remember one of these meals."

The three of the boys started laughing and Bran walked indoors. Ireth told Estel she would talk to him later and led the other four to the sleeping quarters. Harry and Neville got bored and went to find Legolas and the two sets of twins. Ireth showed Ginny her room which was right next to Draco's but across from Mr and Mrs Weasley.

Everyone else was spread across the hall and with that Ireth sent Ginny to unpack and told Draco to help her. The elf then pulled out her wand and sent a hex towards Elrohir who was setting a prank above Legolas' door causing it to backfire on him.

-------------------------------------------------

The group stayed separate from each other all day. Harry and Bran walked through the forest while Neville spent the day with the Medics. Pandora was with her family, no one knew where the teachers had went and both sets of twins were no where to be seen. Not a good thing. Ron and Hermione were sitting in the courtyard with the older Weasley's. Draco was sitting on the high wall watching the guards and Legolas practice. Ginny was next to him reading. Ireth was training with Estel and seemed to be enjoying herself.

Soon it was almost time for the meal so they were all rounded up and sent to clean up. They all met up at the end of the corridor and Ireth opened the doors.

The dining hall looked amazing. Ginny and Hermione gasped at how beautiful the large round table was and the walls were dazzling. Arwen had spent most of the day decorating.

Harry, Bran and Neville saw their seats and sat down. The elves and Estel followed them causing Pandora's family and the Weasley's to follow suit. Remus, Severus, Minerva and Dumbledore were still now where to be found. Arwen sent her brothers to find the teachers, Mithrandir and her father and they soon arrived.

"Welcome to Middle Earth my friends. I hope that you will enjoy your stay here in my home." Elrond bowed his head which everyone returned.

Introductions were made and soon they began to eat. Ron, for once, was taking his time as he didn't want to look like a pig in front of Arwen which annoyed Hermione. However Arwen was locked in a quiet conversation with Estel, Legolas, Ireth and her brothers.

The newcomers were rather quiet throughout the meal which confused Harry but he guessed that they just wanted to show respect to Elrond. When everyone finished Mithrandir stood.

"Welcome. I have good things to say and very good things to say." Harry, Bran and Neville became suspicious of the man who had taught them. He never had anything good to say when he said two goods in one sentence. "The good thing is that I like you all and will train you. The very good news is that your three months here will be spent training everyday starting tomorrow." He smiled which made Ron groan at the thought of training.

They were sent to bed and were told they would be up early. Ireth walked with her little group to the courtyard. Harry and Bran cuddled up on one of the benches, Neville was talking to the twins and Ireth and Legolas were standing very close to each other. They had kept their heads close throughout the meal and they all had a feeling something was about to happen.

Everyone was looking out across the valley when Ireth shivered slightly. Legolas pulled her close making her look up at him and smile. They began to move even closer and it looked as if they would kiss. The other five watched with baited breath. The twins had a bet with the other twins riding on those two kissing before the end of everyone's stay. Ireth and Legolas were inches apart and her eyes fluttered close. Legolas leaned down when the guards alarm went off. Everyone jumped out of their skin and looked to the main gate.

Orcs. At least fifty. The seven of them sprinted to their rooms and grabbed their weapons. When they reached the gate they were joined by the rest of the guards. The orcs broke through the gate and were hit with arrows. Legolas led the archers while Ireth, Harry and Elladan pulled out their swords. Neville and Elrohir got their daggers ready while Bran formed two fireballs in his hand.

The orcs were losing after a few minutes. They were losing badly as well. Estel had appeared out of no where and saved Harry from losing his head. Soon the orcs began to retreat and when it seemed like they had all gone Harry sat down and checked the cut on his leg. Bran walked towards him covered in blood and singe marks smiling slightly. He suddenly froze and all colour drained form his face.

"Bran? What's wrong?"

Harry got his answer as Bran fell to the ground and……
