Chapter 2 A New Friend
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters except Darlene. My parents took me through the portal leaving Middle Earth, and to the train leaving for Hogwarts. I said good-bye and went in to get a seat. I found an empty car and sat alone. It wasn't that I didn't want company, but that the other cars were full. I decided to read the letter Legolas had put inside the box.
Dear Tanrothien, I just wanted to say thanks for being my friend and being there for me. All of us in Mirkwood are really going to miss you. We hope that you have fun and enjoy Hogwarts. Maybe you'll actually learn something for a change. Just kidding. So have fun, be smart, and tell me everything. See ya when I see ya. Your Friend,
Legolas Greenleaf
"Excuse me, would it be ok if I sat here? All the other cars are full." A boy about my age with perfect brown hair asked.
"Go ahead. I don't mind." I answered. Actually I was glad to have someone to talk to.
"Hi! I'm Oliver Wood." He introduced himself.
"I'm Darlene Rain." I shook his hand.
"Are you a first year at Hogwarts?" He asked.
"Yep. You?" I was hoping he was.
"Yup. So where are you from?" I could see he was trying to make conversation.
"Rivendell." I smiled.
"Rivendell? Isn't that in Middle Earth?" He said curiously.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" I was surprised.
"I read the Hobbit. It's my favorite book. So do you know Elrond?" He smiled.
"Know him! Of coarse! He's my grandfather!" I was ecstatic to find someone to talk to about this stuff.
"Wow. Then you must be an elf!" He shrieked.
"Half, my mother's a witch. My dad's an elf." I pulled back my hair to show him my ears.
"That is so cool. I was I had ears like that." He laughed.
Just then two red headed boys came in and sat down. One sat by me and the other one sat by Oliver.
"Hello there!" The one next to Oliver waved.
"Hi!" I smiled.
"Darlene, these are my friends Fred and George. Fred, George, This is Darlene." Oliver introduced us.
"Hey, by the way, cool ears. We saw 'em on our way in. Where you from?" George asked.
So we talked about Middle Earth for a while. Then we talked about Quidditch. Oliver, Fred and George are on the team. Oliver is team captain and keeper. Fred and George are the beaters. I had a great time talking to them. The train eventually came to a stop, and we all got off.
"Hopefully we'll see ya later." Fred and George waved as they walked towards a tall, gruff looking man. He smiled as he called all first years towards the boats. I later found that his name was Hagrid.
I was put into a boat with two other girls. They both had pointy ears like mine.
"Hi I'm Darlene Rain, or Tanrothien." I introduced myself.
"Hi, I'm Sylvia. I've heard that name before. My cousin Legolas is always talking about a girl by that name." Sylvia looked surprised.
"I'm Novelle. I'm from Gondor. My father is Lord Aragorn, and my mother is Lady Arwen." I instantly realized that she was my cousin.
"My father is Prince Elladan and my mother is Princess Melificent. But she's not an elf she's a witch." I explained.
So I got to know Novelle and Sylvia. So we became best friends instantly.
