Ch. 2- Gaining back Memory
Edoras/ Aranel's Room:
"Remus," Aranel called. The man who had appeared in the gardens was rousing.
Legolas had carried him into the Golden Hall and had laid him on the bed in Aranel's room. Eomer, Eowyn, and Gandalf were wiating for the man to arise so they could see if he'd remember anything. Aranel had remembered this man, which gave possibilities of her full memory coming back.
The man, Remus, coughed and looked around at all of them. Lastly, he looked at Aranel.
"I know you... from somewhere," he said, trying to remember, but couldn't. "Where am I? Who are you," he asked the others. Aranel traded a look with Gandalf. Remus, too, had lost his memory upon arriving in the world of Middle Earth.
"Remus," Aranel said, and he appeared to have remembered his name. "I am Aranel and we are in Rohan. Edoras, to be exact. King Eomer," Aranel called, and Eomer, king of Rohan since Theoden's death in battele, came foward.
"Remus, I am Eomer, king of Rohan. You may stay here as long as you need to," he said and called Eowyn forward. "This is my sister, Eowyn, sheildmaiden of Rohan. I set you in her charge. She will look over you, make you feel welcome." Remus looked at Eowyn and smiled.
"Nice to meet such a bueautiful lady, my lady, Eowyn," Remus said. Eowyn nodded.
"Thank you, my lord," Eowyn said, smiling, and moved back to where she had been standing. Gandalf cleared his throat. Remus, startled, looked at him.
"I am Gandalf, and you, Remus Lupin, do not come from this time or world. You came here the same way that Aranel, once Hermione Granger, came her: by the means of a book linked here from your world. Once we had the book to link a person back, but when Aranel decided to stay we had the book destroyed. I did not think that others would come across the same book that sent Aranel here, for if I had, I would have gone and told someone there to destroy it, and I myself would have come back first, and then destroy the book that linked our world to theirs, but alas! I did not think," Gandalf said in a loud, carrying voice. "Since the book that linked back from here to your world is destroyed, you are stuck her." Lupin sat up.
"Let me get this straight. I have come here by means of a book which linked my world to yours," he asked. Everyone nodded. "And there once was, but isn't anymore, a book that links back your world to mine," he asked, eyebrows raised. "And now that the book is destroyed, there is no way to warn others in my world to destroy the book that links my world to this one?" Gandalf nodded. "So, if anyone else from my world comes, they, too, will be stuck," Lupin asked. Aranel nodded.
"They will also losse their memory... unless they are as powerful as Gandalf... or Dumbledore," Aranel said and placed a hand over her mouth. She had just remembered someone else from her old world. The others had also noticed.
"You first remembered this man," Gandalf said, indicating Remus, "and that was upon sight. Now you remember another from your old world. I believe your memory might be restoring itself."
Why now? Why three days before I will be wed to Legolas? What if I start remembering that Harry Potter boy?
... Harry Potter... boy who lived... untidy black hair... vivid and conspicuous scar... emerald green eyes...
"STOP!" exclaimed Aranel and everyone looked at her. She broke down crying, and Legolas was by her side in seconds, comforting her. "My... my memory is c-coming b-back... b-but I... d-don't w-want it to. Can't y-you s-stop it f- from r-returning, G-Gandalf?" Gandalf shook his head sadly.
"I'm sorry, but when your memory returns, it will return to its full extent. When it returns, you will still remember this place, and everyone here you know and... love," and at the last remark he looked at Legolas. Aranel nodded. She would soon gain back the love for the boy she married in her old world, but she would still have the love she had for Legolas.
"We will cancel the wedding, Aranel," Legolas said, and kissed her on the forehead, "until you choose what you want to do, after your memory is restored." Aranel, a tear rolling down her cheek, nodded, kissed Legolas, and then left the room, running to the gardens. She couldn't love two people at the same time. When the time came to choose, she'd have to choose either Harry or Legolas, both of whom she loved. Loved with all of her heart.
