-Ita and Aranel-
Ita went back to the common room and to his room and changed into different clothes. He looked in the mirror and muttered something. He hair fixed itself as he tied his shoes. Pretty much all it did was spike up. He opened his bag and saw he had some Potions homework from the previous week and went to find Aranel to help him. She got the second best marks besides Hermione for not being in Slytherin house.
He ran downstairs and out the portrait door. He checked the Great Hall, and an empty classroom where she liked to do her work but she wasn't there. He then assumed she went to their water-shielded courtyard.
He ran in that direction and opened the door, but didn't find Aranel, but Liz and some other elf he'd never seen before. The boy looked at least 17 with blonde curly hair and extremely tan skin which was odd for an elf. His eyes looked the same color as the ocean. Liz was sitting on the cushioned bench with her legs on his lap.
"Liz?"
"Oh, Vedui" she said laughing
"Um, who is that?'
"This is Voron. From Durmstrang."
"Okay . well have you seen Aranel anywhere?"
"Uh, no. Last I saw her was last night after you went to the hospital wing with Saira"
"If you see her, tell her I need her help with Potions, ok?"
"Yeah, sure"
As he was leaving he ran straight into Isilwen.
"Oh, Amin hiraetha" he said --I'm sorry-
"What's the rush?"
"I'm looking for Aranel"
"She's going to the library"
"Ok. Diola lle" --Thank you-
Ita rushed off to the library. There he found Aranel sitting at a corner table all alone.
"Aranel!" he yelled
"Shhh!" Madam Pince said putting her finger to her mouth
"Sorry" he whispered walking over to Aranel. "Hey, I've been looking all over for you"
"Really?" She said in a callous tone
"Yeah, I need help with Potions"
"Typical" she muttered
"What?"
"I said typical"
"What do you mean?"
"The only times you notice me is when you need help
"That's not true. Aranel, you're my best friend. You have been since I first met you"
"Since our first year that we came here together, I realized that I liked you more than as a friend. But I was young and thought it was only a little crush, but came to think maybe it was more."
"Aranel --"
"Let me guess, you don't think of me in that way"
"I'm sorry"
"Ok, you know what, just forget it. I knew nothing would happen but I waited to see" She grabbed her books slamming them in a stack rather loudly.
"Shh!" Madam Pince said again brandishing her feather duster
"Don't shh me" Aranel yelled and stormed out
"Aranel" Ita called running after her also ignoring Madam Pince
"Page 86 in 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi," she yelled
Ita knew she was angry but he followed her nonetheless. He met up with her in the hall and forced her to stop.
"Go be with your girlfriend. You obviously care about her more than me"
"That's not true and it never will be. I'm sorry that I don't have the same feelings but I do know that I care about you more than anyone I'll ever meet. I don't want someone to come between us."
"Too late, Ita. It's too late"
"Please Aranel, please"
"It will take awhile"
"But will we eventually be good again?"
"Someday," she said softly, "But not today" she walked away and Ita felt it was best not to follow this time. He heard Liz laughing behind him, but she became quite serious at the sight of her friend.
"Ita, are you okay?"
"Someday" he said before walking off too
"That's weird"
"Who was that?" Voron said in an Italian accent
"My friend Ita. Of course he's usually like that but with a wider vocabulary. Um, do you know what time it is?"
"Its nearly twelve"
"Do you mind if we stop by the hospital wing?"
"What for?"
"Another friend is supposed to be getting out," Liz explained
"You have a lot of friend"
"More than you know"
They ran into Saira just as she was coming out
"I can't believe Madam Pomfrey let you go" Liz said
"She didn't want to."
"Well, let's go get some lunch, I'm starving"
"Wait, aren't you going to introduce me?"
"Oh yeah. Saira, this is Voron. Voron, this is Saira"
"Nice to meet you" Saira said
"Likewise" he replied
"Ok, let's go, I am literally starving" Liz said
Harry, Ron and Hermione were already in the Great Hall.
"Saira, you're okay," Ron said happily
"Yeah, I'm fine Ron"
"Everyone in the Three Broomsticks were shocked when Ita came in carrying you" Harry said
"I've heard. Apparently I made quite a scene"
Saira could feel someone watching her. "Draco is looking over here, isn't her?" She whispered to Liz
"How'd you know?"
"I just could"
"Alatariel"
"What is it with people saying my Elvish name?"
"Excuse me" It was Professor McGonagall. Saira promptly turned around and apologized
"Sorry Professor"
"Anyway, please come with me"
"Um, may I inquire why?"
"Professor Dumbledore would like to see you"
"Oh.ok" Saira got up and followed Professor McGonagall to the stone gargoyle she went to on her first day with Liz.
"Gum drops" McGonagall said
The gargoyle once again sprang to life just as before. Saira trailed behind her.
"Ah, Saira" Dumbledore said. He wasn't alone though. There was a boy there. Of course, she'd recognize him anywhere.
"Dmitri!?" And sure enough, it was he
"Sairalinde. Funny finding you here" Her fiend, odd enough as it is, had bright, royal blue hair and eyes to match. He was thin but lean and muscular. Saira ran up and hugged him. He picked her up off the ground as he hugged back.
"God, I'm so glad to see you"
"Likewise" he said, "Course it's only been a week"
"Mr. Alonde will be joining you at school" Dumbledore explained
"What? Why have you come here?"
"My parents freaked when the last eruption occurred on Death Mountain. They didn't want me to live in a world of evil. Course no world has no evil so I didn't really see the point and I think we proved we could handle on many situations, eh Saira? Oh and my parents thought school would provide just a little more discipline"
"Quite right. You never listened to anyone. .Well everyone except for me"
"Most of the time. You were special"
"Anyhow" Dumbledore interrupted, "Dmitri has been put in Gryffindor. I was hoping you could show him around"
"Sure, it'll be like old times"
"Good day to you both then" Dumbledore said allowing them to leave
"C'mon," Saira grabbed his hand
"You are in a good mood. I haven't seen you like that since before Link left"
"Well, its nice to have a friend that I've known for so long a time" she said, "I see, you're still sticking to blue"
"It's practically my trademark"
"Hey, I bet my friend are still eating in the Great Hall if you want to meet them"
"Sure."
Saira took him to the Great Hall where they all still sat. They were all shocked by the person Saira walked up with.
"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Dmitri"
No one said anything. Dmitri got tired of their blank expressions and said something
"Yes, my hair is blue"
Saira stifled a laugh
"Don quena I'lambe tel Edalie?" --Do they speak Elvish? -Dmitri asked
"No, cept' Liz and I think Voron does"
As if everyone's brain started working again, they all said either 'hello' or 'hi'
"So you're a friend of Saira?" Ron asked
"Unless she isn't the girl I knew in Hyrule"
"For the record, everything he says about me are lies" Saira said
"Oh, come on. Is my reputation so horrible that I can't have been born a new person when I got here?"
"Think really hard about what you just said"
He pretended to for a moment then said, "I suppose you're right . and keeping that in mind, I've got to tell you all about the time she came into the Lost Woods with me and --"
"Don't you dare tell that story" she said covering his mouth. "Ok, I'm going to give him the dime tour" she said dragging him off with him still trying to tell them the story.
They began to laugh uncontrollably in the hall and Saira ran into Ita. Her face quickly turned serious seeing his solemn face.
"Ita, is everything okay?"
"It will be" Then he noticed Saira's blue haired friend.
"You know Saira, I think you attract people with bizarre hair," Dmitri said
"Excuse me?" Ita said
"Oh, hello. Don't believe I formally met you" Dmitri took his hand and shook it rapidly, "I'm Dmitri, Saira's weird, blue-haired, tells embarrassing stories about her, friend that just came here"
"Pleasure" Ita said pulling back his hand
"Geez Saira, what a down lot"
"Dmitri could you go wait inside with the others" Saira was serious and Dmitri knew it.
"Sure, love" he replied serious as well. He gave her a peck on the cheek which Saira returned before he walked back into the Great Hall.
"Namaarie" Saira said
"Who's that?" Ita said after Dmitri left
"A long time friend"
"I see"
"Ita, what's wrong?'
"It's Aranel. We fought and I think it will be awhile before everything will be back to normal."
"Then maybe we shouldn't --"
"Don't say what you're going to say. We can still go. Aranel and I just need some time"
"Okay, well meet me in the courtyard later. I was knocked out all and you were nice enough to stay so I think I owe you some time where I'm not unconscious."
Ita smiled weakly and left. The rest of Saira's new friends came walking out laughing and Saira had no doubts as to why when she spotted Dmitri.
"You told them didn't you?"
"It's a great story"
They started walking around when Dmitri grabbed Saira and pulled her back.
"Hey, check out that hot girl, oh and an elf"
"Huh?"
"Her. Do you know her?"
Saira looked at where Dmitri was pointing and Aranel was putting her books into her bag.
"Yeah, that's Aranel"
"What house is she in?"
"Ravenclaw"
"Damn"
"I can introduce you anyway," Saira said
"That'd be great" Dmitri said without removing his gaze.
"Hey, Aranel!"
Aranel looked over but seemed very reluctant to actually walk over.
"Hey, Saira" Then she saw Dmitri, but it wasn't shock on her face but the same look Dmitri wore as he stared at her
"And you are?" she asked
"Aranel, this is Dmitri"
"Hello"
"Hi"
"Ok, well we're just wondering around before class if you'd like to join"
"Sure" she said without taking her eyes off Dmitri. They began walking but someone called out to Saira. It was Legolas
"Saira, we should begin lessons for your spells"
"Yeah ok" she said wanting to go with her friends
"Meet me tomorrow at 5:00"
"Ok, Namaarie" she ran to her friends
The rest of the day was spent wandering the school grounds. Saira met with Ita later on and they talked until curfew. They were the last ones back.
Ita went back to the common room and to his room and changed into different clothes. He looked in the mirror and muttered something. He hair fixed itself as he tied his shoes.
