Chapter 6: Little Dragon's Plan
~*~**~**~**~*~
"It can't be…" Legolas whispered. He put down his bow and arrow and walked towards his bed and sat beside the sleeping man. He leaned forward and gave the man a slight kiss on his cheek. Then he whispered. "Aragorn…?"
Aragorn was awakened. He turned to Legolas and smiled. "I missed you my love."
Legolas smiled back. Then he asked "How did you… When did you… Why did you…?"
Legolas was hushed when Aragorn kissed him passionately on his lips. After a while, Aragorn pulled away.
"I came here with Gandalf; I arrived few hours ago. I came here through a portal Gandalf created and I came here for you."
"What about Elroy? You left our son alone in Middle Earth!"
"My love, nothing will happen to him in Middle Earth for Middle Earth is already free from evil forces. It's you I think of most of the time."
"What if Rivendell attacks Mirkwood?"
"Lord Thranduil is there. He will not let anything happen to his beloved grandson."
Legolas smiled. Then he took off his boots and joined Aragorn in bed.

That night during dinner…
"Three empty seats. Perfect!" Ron said irritably. He saw the head table has three vacant seats but the faculty members were complete, except for Professor Greenleaf.
"Ron, one belongs to Professor Greenleaf," Harry replied.
"What about the other two?" Ron asked.
"Well, the new subjects might be interesting. Just like archery," Harry answered.
"Yeah? Archery? Interesting?" Ron said sarcastically.
"Yes it is."
"Only because Professor Greenleaf teaches it," Ron replied with a frown.
After a while the doors of the great hall opened and Legolas entered together with Aragorn and Gandalf. They walked towards the head table and sat on the vacant chairs.
Professor Dumbledore stood up and acquired the students' attention. "May I have your attention please? We'll be having two new teachers." He gestured at Gandalf and Aragorn. "Professor Strider…" Aragorn stood up. "He'll be teaching sword fighting, and Professor Gandalf…" Aragorn sat down; it was Gandalf's turn to stand up. "He'll be your Defense Against Dark Arts teacher, together with Professor Lupin. Now, we expect you to treat them with respect." Professor Dumbledore then smiled at the students and announced happily, "Let the feast begin!"
Everybody started eating and chatting to each other, but in the Slytherin's table, Draco Malfoy was having something in mind.
"Ah… Professor Strider huh? I think I can use him for revenge while waiting for what my father would do about that stupid elf," Draco thought. An evil grin was on his face as he stood up and left the great hall.
And in the Gryffindor's table, Harry saw the evil grin on Draco's face. It made him worried. "What the hell was he thinking about?" Harry thought, his gaze following his boyfriend.
* * * * *
When Draco arrived at his dorm, he hurriedly got a roll of parchment and wrote his father a letter.
Father,
I think you have to suspend for a moment whatever it is you're plotting against that stupid elf teacher. I think I've found a nice way to get my Harry back.
You'll hear from me soon.
Your son,
Draco
P.S. I hope you and mother are doing well.
He rolled the parchment and sent it to his father. Lucius hadn't actually owl him a letter telling him that he was plotting something against the new teacher but Draco knew he was. Lucius had been supportive of his relationship with Harry Potter, although he didn't exactly show it. But Draco knew that his father was. If not, his father wouldn't send him extra allowance even if he wasn't asking for money, or his father wouldn't let him stay at Hogwarts during Christmas breaks. Lucius was just the same cold bastard and that would never change.
After sending the small note to his father, he positioned himself comfortably on his favorite chair beside his bed and begun thinking about what he would do.
"Well, if he's flirting with that Professor Greenleaf… I will flirt with Professor Strider. After all, he looks cool with that beard; he looks so handsome. I wonder if I could also grow beard. What would father think?" He though he summoned a mirror and cast an illusion charm on himself, giving himself an imaginary beard.
"Argh! I look dirty. Harry wouldn't like this." He said and then made his imaginary beard disappear.
"Anyway… Here's what I'm going to do…" His thoughts were interrupted when he looked out of the window and caught a glimpse of Harry and Professor Greenleaf on broom chasing each other.
"Huh! I have to do it now. Or I lose Harry." He stormed out of his dorm and looked for Professor Strider.
* * * * *
Aragorn was walking back and fourth in front of Gandalf. They were in Aragorn's office having tea and conversing about Legolas.
"So, that's what I came here for? To see Legolas with… with that kid? He didn't even consider my presence when he agreed to have flying lessons with that student. And flying lessons?!? He doesn't need that!" Aragorn was very pissed. He continued to walk back and fourth.
Gandalf, who was trying very hard not to feel dizzy, answered "Aragorn you said a while ago that Legolas was having flying lessons with a student. A kid. Maybe he's missing your son that's why he agreed to have flying lessons with 'that kid'."
"No! He should be with me! Not with some student."
"Aragorn you have to understand him. It's so hard for him to be away from your son for so long. Maybe that student is like Elroy in some ways that's why Legolas is very fond of him."
"What about me? I came here for him. He should not ignore me."
"Aragorn stop being childish! I didn't expect you could behave in such manner."
"I'm sorry." Aragorn muttered. He sat weakly on the chair in front of Gandalf.
"No need to be sorry. Just don't be so narrow-minded. Legolas is just looking for someone like Elroy… all right? Now, I have to go meet a certain headmaster. Now, if you'll excuse me." Gandalf grinned, before standing and leaving, using Floo powder.
After quite sometime, Aragorn heard small knocks on the door accompanied by a voice of a young boy.
"Professor Strider?" The young boy called.
Aragorn stood up, he wondered why a student would talk to him. He hadn't started teaching yet and it was eight in the evening! Why would this student want to talk to him?
He opened the door and standing there was Draco Malfoy.
"What is it you want from me, young man?" Aragorn asked.
"Well Professor, I was about to knock on your door when I heard you talking to Professor Gandalf about Professor Greenleaf. I couldn't help but listen to your conversation." Draco replied.
"You what? Do you know young man that it is not good to eavesdrop?" Aragorn asked furiously.
"Well, I know that Professor. That wasn't my intention in going here but something about your conversation made me interested. That's why I decided to eavesdrop."
"What do you want?" Aragorn asked coldly.
"Well… Your husband and my boyfriend might be having an affair." Draco answered lazily.
"What?!? How dare you accuse my husband of such thing! Your boyfriend may be capable of cheating but not my husband." Aragorn exclaimed angrily.
"Really? Do you know where he is right now?" Draco asked mockingly.
"Of course I do; he's tutoring a student." Aragorn replied, but he had doubts.
"Oh really? Tutoring a student huh? Why don't you look outside your window?" Draco said sarcastically.
Aragorn raised an eyebrow. He walked near the window and looked outside. His eyes widened and he felt his heart drop at what he saw. Legolas and Harry were flying and Legolas was laughing as he was being chased by Harry.
"Legolas…" Aragorn whispered softly.
"See, I told you. I have a proposition to make. Are you ready to listen to my proposition now?" Draco asked.
Aragorn sighed. "Yes," He replied weakly. He still couldn't believe Legolas cheated on him.
Draco smirked and explained his plan.
* * * * *
The next day at the archery class…
"Okay class, you're dismissed." Legolas announced.
The rest of the class left except for Draco and Harry.
"You don't have to wait for me Draco," Harry told Draco, mistakenly thinking Draco was waiting for him.
"What made you think I was waiting for you?" Draco sneered.
"But… But if you're not waiting for me then why are you still here?" Harry asked, confused and hurt.
Draco didn't answer and walked towards Legolas.
"Is there something I can do for you, Mr. Malfoy?" Legolas asked.
"Yeah." Draco drawled. "I heard you and Professor Strider are good friends, so I was wondering if you could tell me where he is."
"I think he's in our chambers, why? Do you need something from him?" Legolas asked.
"No, I don't need something from him but could you give this gift to him? My father sent this to me and I don't think I need it so I want Professor Strider to have it," Draco explained and then he handed the package to Legolas.
"Okay. I'll make sure he gets it," Legolas answered hesitantly. He glanced at Harry with a confused look on his face.
Harry just shrugged. He had no idea why Draco would give Professor Strider a gift.
"Alright, thanks," Draco said. Then he walked back to the castle.
On his way back to the castle he passed by Harry and he just raised his eyebrows at him.
Harry pouted when Draco just walked pass him without even saying goodbye. And he was really jealous because Draco gave Professor Strider a gift.
Draco ran to Aragorn and Legolas' chamber and looked for him.
"Professor Strider!" Draco called out.
"What?" Aragorn answered coming out of the bathroom.
"I did it! You should have seen their faces, they…" Draco stopped abruptly and his jaw dropped open. He saw Aragorn came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around his waist. He was so sexy.
"Hey Draco, are you okay? They what?" Aragorn asked.
"Uhm, They… They were so jealous, especially Harry," Draco said uneasily. He still couldn't take his eyes off Aragorn's beautiful body. "Professor Greenleaf will give you the gift later. Make sure you act excited," he continued. "Uhm, I have to go, bye!" Draco said and he hurriedly ran out of the chamber.
Aragorn was left confused.
* * * * *
That night…
"Aragorn, I'm back!" Legolas announced.
"Hi, welcome back," Aragorn replied. "What's that?" He asked pointing at the package Legolas was carrying.
"Oh, yeah, Mr. Malfoy told me to give this to you. He said it's a gift," Legolas said softly.
"Really? Let me see!" Aragorn said excitedly. He took the package from Legolas and opened it quickly. "Wow! It's beautiful. Winter is coming so this is exactly what I need." He said happily as he was putting the cloak around himself.
Legolas saddened when he saw how happy Aragorn became when he received Draco's gift. "If you want I'll buy or make you another cloak," he offered.
"No it's okay, this is perfect," Aragorn replied.
"Okay," Legolas whispered sadly. He walked towards the bed and curled himself on one side of the bed.
Aragorn followed and laid beside Legolas. He leaned over and kissed Legolas on his cheeks and caressed his arm.
*What's wrong my love?* Aragorn whispered.
*Nothing, I'm alright.* Legolas replied softly.
*No, you're not alright. I know when you're upset.* Aragorn replied. He was a bit irritated.
Legolas sat up and hugged Aragorn tightly. *Nothing's wrong with me I promise.* he said.
*Okay, let's go to sleep then.* Aragorn said. He pulled Legolas closer and covered him with a blanket. Then he whispered *Goodnight love.*
*Goodnight.* Legolas replied sleepily.
