Chapter 5: Two Elven Kingdoms
Professor Dumbledore led Aragorn to Legolas' chamber. When they arrived at his chamber, Legolas wasn't there.
"I'll leave you here now King Aragorn. Just wait for your husband here. This will be your chamber during your stay here at Hogwarts." Professor Dumbledore explained.
"Thank you Professor Dumbledore." Aragorn looked around the chamber. It was a nice and cozy one.
"And one more thing, you have to do something during your stay here at Hogwarts. Maybe you could teach sword fighting to the students." Professor Dumbledore said.
"Sure I'll teach sword fighting. No problem. How about my husband? What's his job?"
"He's teaching archery King Aragorn."
Aragorn grinned. "He's teaching archery? Well he's the best archer I've seen." He thought.
"And sorry but we can't call you King Aragorn. Maybe we'll call you Professor…" Professor Dumbledore stopped, as if waiting for him to give a name.
"Strider. Professor Strider."
"Very well then, Professor Strider, you'll start your lessons tomorrow."
"Thank you again Professor Dumbledore."
Professor Dumbledore smiled at Aragorn then apparated back to his office where Gandalf was waiting. When he arrived at his office, he saw Gandalf sitting on his chair behind his desk.
"So… Gandalf…" Albus smiled.
Gandalf stood up and walked towards Albus. When he reached Albus, he teasingly gave him a quick kiss on his lips.
"So… Albus…" Gandalf grinned.
"It's been a long time Gandalf… I missed you so."
"I missed you too." Gandalf replied then he hugged Albus. They stayed in that position for quite a while then Gandalf pulled away. "How's Voldemort?"
"Well he's getting stronger everyday. And Severus Snape informed me that he's slowly regaining his followers." Albus answered.
"What about the Malfoys?"
"No, they're not going back to Voldemort's side. Lucius have decided to stay on our side since his son became Harry Potter's boyfriend."
"Well, that's good. Lucius Malfoy is a big help to our side."
"How's Middle Earth?"
"It is still fine except for a conflict between two Elven Kingdoms."
"Mirkwood and Rivendell?" Professor Dumbledore pulled Gandalf into his chamber.
When they were inside, Gandalf sat on the couch.
"Yes. Between Mirkwood and Rivendell."
Professor Dumbledore gave a sad sigh. "It's been a long time and they still haven't fixed their gap."
*Flashback*
Almost 200 years ago…
"You're not going to marry her. Are you?" Legolas asked with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry Legolas but I have to. She gave up her immortality for me. I don't know why she did it. I'm a half-elf I'm also immortal. I don't know why she had to give up her immortality just for me." Aragorn answered.
Legolas grew angry. "You want to know why?!? Because I told her I love you! I told her I love you and she said she felt the same way for you. She hated me. She also told me to stay away from you. And you know what? She hated me more when I became part of the fellowship. Before our journey begun, she gave you her necklace, sign that she's giving up her immortality. She did it so you'll love her. Well, I guess you do love her. After all you wouldn't marry her if you don't. Yes, you're right. You have to marry her. I hope you two have a very peaceful and happy life." Legolas wiped his tears and ran away.
Aragorn was left confused. It's his wedding the next day but he's still confused if he's going to continue to marry Arwen or he's going to talk to Arwen to give her back her necklace, sign that he's giving her back her immortality, and go after Legolas. In the end he chose to do the first. He went back to his chamber to prepare himself for the wedding the next day.
Inside the palace, King Thranduil and Lord Elrond were having a conversation when King Thranduil saw his son running towards his chamber, crying. He excused himself and immediately followed.
"My son?" King Thranduil knocked on Legolas' door.
"Father, please leave me alone for a moment. Please." Legolas begged. It was obvious that he's crying.
"I'm your father, the King and I don't want to be ignored."
After a short while he heard the door opened slowly. Legolas let him in. When he was inside he immediately noticed Legolas' swollen eyes.
"What is it my son? What or who made you cry? Tell me and at once I'll order the guards to behead him or her." King Thranduil said angrily.
"No father, you don't have to do something like that."
King Thranduil sighed. Then he asked. "Why are you crying then my son?"
"Because… The one I love is getting married tomorrow."
"The one you love… Arwen?"
"No father."
"Ah… not Arwen…" King Thranduil said calmly. "Then it's Aragorn… Alright…" He nodded but then after quite sometime he realized what his son meant. "What?!? You love Aragorn?!?" He exclaimed. He was very shocked.
"Yes father."
"No Legolas, this can't be. He's getting married tomorrow. You can't stay here. We have to go back to Mirkwood at once." King Thranduil commanded firmly.
"But father…" Legolas protested.
"No buts. We'll leave now."
"No father, I don't want to leave!" Legolas said stubbornly.
"My son, do you know what will happen to you if you stay here? You'll see them getting married, swearing to love and stay beside each other for all time. Then you would become very sad until you die… of grief…" King Thranduil went near his crying son and hugged him.
"Father I will feel the same even if we go back to Mirkwood."
"So many things will make you happy in Mirkwood my son, your brothers, memories of your mother and your people. You would forget him eventually."
Legolas looked at his father and answered. "Then I'll go back to Mirkwood father."
King Thranduil nodded and exited his chamber.
Few hours later, King Thranduil, Legolas and the Mirkwood elves started traveling back to Mirkwood.
Legolas looked back to Rivendell and said silently. "I will not forget you my love."
The next day at the wedding…
"Where is Legolas?!?" Aragorn angrily asked.
"He's not here. He left." Arwen replied casually.
"What do you mean he left?"
"You're not important to him Aragorn. If you are, he wouldn't be missing this very important occasion in your life."
Aragorn looked fiercely at Arwen. Then he snatched Arwen's necklace from his neck and he placed it on the table.
"I'm sorry Arwen. I cannot marry you. I don't love you."
"You can't do this to me. I've already given up my immortality for you!"
"Then take it back." Aragorn said.
"I don't want to."
"Well then, it's your problem not mine. I have to go after Legolas. He's the one I love truly." With that Aragorn ran out of that chamber, out of the palace of Rivendell. He then rode on his horse and ran out of Rivendell.
In Mirkwood 4 days after…
"My son…" Thranduil called. Legolas was still very sad.
Legolas wiped his tears then he looked at his father. "What is it Father?"
"You should go on with your life now. He's already married to Arwen."
Legolas looked down. But Thranduil held his chin up. "Cheer up my son. It's not the end of the world. When your mother died I felt the same way. But I thought I had you and your brothers so I had to move on with my life. You'll find another who'll love you. And I know you'll find that someone soon. After all you are my son, the prince of Mirkwood and you're the most beautiful elf in Middle Earth."
Legolas smiled at his father. "Thank you Father."
"It's getting late. Take a rest now." King Thranduil gave him a kiss on his forehead and went out of his chamber.
Legolas went out to the balcony then after a while he saw something running towards their kingdom. It looked like a horse with someone riding on it. And as the figure came closer, it also became even more familiar. Until it reached the kingdom and it became very familiar… It was Aragorn.
Aragorn was looking up to Legolas who was standing at the balcony. He got off his horse and he remained staring at Legolas.
"Aragorn…" Legolas whispered.
Aragorn smiled.
"It is you…" The sad look on Legolas' face vanished.
Legolas hurriedly ran down to where Aragorn was standing. Then he found himself standing in front of Aragorn. Aragorn touched his right cheek then he kissed him. After a while Legolas pulled away.
"You're already married." Legolas said.
"I'm not." Aragorn smiled.
"What do you mean?" Legolas asked confused.
"I didn't marry Arwen. I gave her back her necklace. I didn't marry her because I love you."
Legolas smiled and Aragorn leaned forward and gave him a passionate kiss on his lips. When they broke their kiss, Legolas pulled Aragorn inside the palace.
"Father!" Legolas called.
They went to the throne room and there they saw King Thranduil sitting proudly on his throne.
"Father! Look he's here!" Legolas happily announced.
King Thranduil stood up and asked calmly. "What are you doing here Aragorn? You're already married. Aren't you supposed to be in Rivendell or Gondor with your wife?"
"I didn't marry Arwen, you're highness. And I came here to ask for your permission. I want to marry your son for I love him truly." Aragorn said courageously.
King Thranduil smiled. "You have my permission."
The next day, Aragorn and Legolas got married and after another day, the army of Rivendell attacked.
"We're being attacked! We're being attacked!" The guard elf cried out loud as he was running towards the palace.
When King Thranduil heard it he furiously got up of his throne. "And who dared to attack us?" His voice roared.
"The army of Rivendell you're highness." The guard elf answered.
"Prepare our soldiers! We're going to fight back." King Thranduil said then he commanded some servant elves to help him put on his battle gears.
After a while, Legolas and Aragorn came running in the throne room. It was obvious that they just woke up.
"What's wrong father?" Legolas asked worriedly. "Why are you putting on your battle gear?"
"We're being attacked." King Thranduil replied.
"By whom?" It was Aragorn.
"By the army of Rivendell."
Legolas gasped. Aragorn's eyes narrowed furiously.
"I'll fight along with you." Aragorn announced.
King Thranduil looked at his son-in-law and nodded.
Aragorn and Legolas went back to their chamber to get their things. Aragorn got his sword and tried it while Legolas got his bow and arrow.
"Be careful my love." Legolas whispered to Aragorn then he gave Aragorn a kiss.
"I will be careful. Take care of yourself and be careful too." Aragorn replied.
Then the army of Mirkwood faced the army of Rivendell.
"What is the meaning of this Elrond?" King Thranduil asked angrily.
"Your son stole Aragorn from my daughter. I came here for revenge." Lord Elrond responded with fiery.
"It is not Legolas' fault! I do not love your daughter." Aragorn shouted.
Lord Elrond glared at him then he commanded. "Attack… NOW!"
Then the battle begun. It lasted for quite sometime but since they were in Mirkwood, King Thranduil and his army knew the place better and they were able to defeat the army of Rivendell.
Before the army of Rivendell left, Lord Elrond left some words. "This is just the beginning of a war between our kingdoms."
*End of Flashback*
* * * * *
Legolas went up to his chamber. It had been another tiring day. Then he reached to portrait of the middle aged lady. He was about to tell her to password when the lady spoke.
"There is a very handsome guy in your chamber."
Legolas was confused. "Maybe you're hallucinating, my dear lady."
"I'm not. Professor Dumbledore brought him here a while ago. Anyway, tell me the password now so I can open your chamber for you."
"Alright, Mirkwood."
The portrait swung open and Legolas eagerly entered. He got his bow and arrow ready for whoever is in his chamber. Then he went near his bed and someone was sleeping on it. It was a guy. He was facing backwards and he has brown hair and he looked very familiar.
"It can't be…" Legolas whispered.
