**Legolas Point of View**

"Legolas! Pay attention," Thranduil snapped at me.
I shook my head, "Sorry, what were you saying?" I couldn't remember anything my father had said and apparently he had noticed.
He looked at me in disbelief. "I was telling you that you should be getting married soon and that maybe I should arrange you a betrothal."
I looked at him quickly, "What brought this on? Why the sudden interest in me getting married?" I said calmly, but on the inside I was panicking. I can't get married now! I had barely been outside of Mirkwood and I'm only 900 years old.
My father took a deep breath, "Well, I have actually been considering it for a while now, but I didn't know if you were ready or not. After all your training and the way you have matured into a calm, level-headed elf, I thought maybe now was the right time." He took a seat and looked out the window, "You know I was married at 1,000 summers and I don't want you to wait too long. Aragorn has already been married to Arwen last summer and all the elves your age have, too."
I considered what my father said. Sure, all the elves have been married recently and I was the last one in the city to be single, but that doesn't been I have to get married now, does it? He said he thought me to be level-headed so I need to act that way and not outrightly tell him no. I hope this doesn't backfire.
"Ada, I don't think that is such a bad idea, and I will consider it, but does it have to be so soon? Can I not wait at least a few more summers or maybe until I am 1,000 years of age, like you were?" I walked over to the window so I wouldn't have to look him in the eye, because I always give in when I do.
I heard him get up and felt his hand on my shoulder, "Legolas, if you were to agree to get married, why wait? That is the whole point of me telling you to get married now and not in a few summers. I think it will be best for you to get married now. How do you feel about marrying a non-elf?"
Wait, what? I looked at him, "What? Why would I marry a human? I mean I have nothing against mortals. I love Aragorn like he is my brother, but I couldn't do what Arwen did and sacrifice my immortality. I haven't grown up with humans like Arwen with Aragorn, so I couldn't adjust to being a mortal! How do you feel? Lord Elrond didn't want Arwen to marry Aragorn, but you want to hand me over to some mortal I don't know?" I couldn't believe this. His level-headed son was no more.
I went to walk out the door, but my father's voice stopped me in my tracks. "I love you, Greenleaf. You know I do, but I was considering all the options. Unfortunately all the elf princesses are taken and I only want what's best for you. I was thinking Eowyn of Rohan or.."
He pushed it now. "STOP! I will not be marrying Eowyn or any other mortal! I thought I just told you that I can't live like a human! If I am to marry so soon it will have to be to an elf." I turned around, "I'm sorry, ada, but I feel you are pushing this too far. You just brought this up and now you want me to die in 60 some years and leave you!" I shook my head and walked out of his study.
*5 weeks later*
I was sitting in my favorite tree in the garden looking at the flowers below. My father had been unusually quiet since I had blown up at him weeks ago. A few hours after that incident I had went to apologize, but he had accepted it as soon as I said it and told me that it had been his fault anyways. If that wasn't sending warning bells, then this morning when I had been told, by a guard, that I was to go to ada's study before dinner, then this did.
I saw the sun start to set and hopped out of the tree. I walked to ada's study and knocked.
"Come in," Well, didn't sound like anything unusual was occurring so far.
I opened the door and walked in to find my father sitting at his usual place.
He was holding a letter and I wondered if it had anything to do with him requesting me, I soon found it that it did.
He looked up at me and smiled. "Legolas. I have some very important news to share with you."
Okay? I went to a chair and sat down. "Yes, ada?"
He sighed, by the way, that isn't a good sign. "You know how I said you should consider getting married soon?"
Well, my interest is officially sparked. "Yes, ada, I remember. Does this have anything to do with that?"
He nodded, "Yes." He looked me in the eye, "Well, you are now officially betrothed to someone."
My eyes widened, "What? I thought we were going to discuss this! You can't just marry me off to someone without my permission." This was outrageous.
His eyes hardened, "I can and I have. I'm sorry Legolas, but you weren't taking me seriously and I took matters into my own hands."
I looked at him in confusion. How was I not taking him seriously?
He looked at me with determined eyes, "You are to marry Landion of Lothlorien son of Celeborn and the Lady Galadriel."
Okay, doesn't sound so bad.. WAIT! SON?
A/N: I like the idea of a betrothal between Harry and Legolas so I went with it! Please review and in this Galadriel has a son.
Landion means broad (yeah idk I liked the name..)
Pronouced: Lahn-dee-on
