AUTHOR'S NOTE~ I spelled my pen name wrong. It's supposed to be AnkhesEnamun, not AnkhesAnamun. Well, at least they sound almost the same…

When the Ranger got downstairs, he found a mound of gifts on the floor by the fireplace. One of which, was moving. Ron was desperately trying to stop it from wiggling into the hearth. Obviously he had almost failed at one point, since the wrapping paper seemed to be singed at the corners.
"Legolas hurry up and open it," Ron said, irritated at the parcel. "It's addressed to you by someone named 'Luinaiwë'."
"Oh no," the elf moaned, hurrying to get to Ron's side. Luinaiwë was known for giving rather- unusual gifts. The fact that the parcel was moving confirmed this. Last time he had given Legolas a bullfrog wrapped in tinfoil. Carefully unwrapping the paper, he grinned as the last bit fell away.
"Luinaiwë sent you a ferret?" Aragorn asked, raising an eyebrow. The furry creature began gnawing at the bars of its cage.
"Not just any ferret, this is Ambar. Remember him? He was the one who chewed a hole through your best breeches." Legolas said, opening the cage door. "At least my father will be happy now that he's out of the palace."
"You named your ferret 'doom?'" Estel asked, raising an eyebrow. Ambar began crawling into Legolas' sleeves (As I know, many fangirls would like to be in the Ferret's place at the moment); the elf had to pull him out by his tail to stop his explorations.
"My father named him that, since he only causes chaos," Legolas answered, allowing the ferret to crawl through his golden tresses, "like someone or some ones I know," he added with a smirk.
"Did you just compare us to a ferret?" Ron asked holding up a knitted sweater from Mrs. Weasly, Harry held its twin.
"If I did, it would have been a complement," he yipped as Ambar got one of his paws stuck in his locks and had begun to pull to try and free himself. Not wanting to cause himself or the ferret anymore pain, he carefully untangled the creature from his hair and plopped him back into his cage.
"Looks like Mom sent you a sweater too," Ron said, handing Aragorn and Legolas a pair of lumpy packages. Legolas' was dark green with an Elvish L on the front. Aragorn's was a lighter shade of green, and had no letters on it, most likely because Mrs. Weasly didn't know what name he was going by.
"I feel horrible, we didn't get you anything," Legolas' said, pulling the knitted sweater over his head, it was a bit wide for his slender frame, but he liked it.
"Well, there is one thing…" Harry said slowly with a slight grin, "you could teach us Elvish…"
"Sindarian or Quenya?" the elf asked.
"Quenya," the Ranger stated firmly, knowing that Legolas, himself and most of the Elven population spoke Sindarian. Quenya was left for high celebrations and occasions. Sindarian was the common tongue.
"Aragorn, amin n'nowa Quenya tanya mae (I don't know Quenya that well *A/N ~ funny, because that is Quenya…*)," Legolas said with his tongue in his cheek.
"lle uuma (you don't?)" Aragorn asked.
"Well, I wasn't raised in the house of Elrond," Legolas said, bringing their conversation back to common, "in Mirkwood, all we needed to know was how to speak and write, never mind the High Tongue. Some things are more important."
"You found it too frustrating, didn't you?"
"Ai!" Ambar had managed to bite the Elf through his bars, begging for attention.
"Was that an aye or an ai?" the Ranger asked, watching with amusement as Legolas let Ambar out and allowed him to crawl in his lap. (Again, many fangirls would like to be in the Ferret's place… too many author notes.)
"Anyways, we'd be glad to," Legolas said, ignoring the Ranger's last comment.
Ron smiled evilly, "can't wait till Hermione gets back, we'll finally know something she doesn't."
~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~ (Unfortunately, the end of Christmas Holidays)
"Hey, Hermione, Auta miqula orqu, (go kiss an orc)," Ron said as Hermione dragged her luggage into the common room.
"Did you teach him that?" Aragorn whispered into the elf's pointed ear.
"He wanted to know," the Legolas whispered back.
Hermione seemed undaunted. "Mani? Auta miqula orqu? Amin n'nowa ikotane (What? Go kiss an orc? I don't think so.)," she replied stiffly, and then dragged her luggage back into her room.
"Hermione one, Ron and Harry, zero," Harry said desolately.
I got my stitches out! Didn't hurt a bit.
Irish QT ~ Hey, run-on sentences are fine. I just got yelled at every time I used them. Don't ask how I got an A. Well, I hope this chapter turns out okay!
Sunrunner of Summer ~ Can't breathe… You should do choreography. No, that's not the right word… er… composing… or something like that.
Voltor ~ Thanks. It actally didn't hurt at all. I hope you survived your car wreck okay, something I would never like to experience.
Blue-elf3001 ~ Smoke is a potential choking hazard!!! (My friend always says that. Everything is a choking hazard to her.)
Audrey ~ If you though that was creative, see my other story, Lord of the Cows.
Willow Myst ~ Er… be creative…
Callie ~ You're name is Callie, but yet in your review you sign by Miralas. Oh well. I think sympathy is different from pity, but the computer says it's a synonym. Oh, and think, Professor Quirrell is here, so what year is it?
MoroTheWorfGod ~ But it didn't hurt. My friend was screaming for help, and the first word I said after I got out was "What? Paige, what?!" Then I saw the blood and realized I was bleeding.
Spency ~ If it's the stupidest thing you've ever heard, does that mean you're too stupid to read it yourself, and is having someone else read it to you outloud, or are you just to unintelligent to say anything else?
Elendrila ~ Hamsters really don't like me. Spare my life!
La Vache ~ I don't understand french!!!
Caitlin ~ Sorry, Haven't gotten around to answering your e-mail. No, my friend taught me Elvish. But if you want to learn, just look up Sindarian Tengwar on Google. Sindarian is easier than Quenya, to me anyways. Or follow this link.
Tindomiel ~ Thanks!
Sirithiliel ~ I know, but I'm only twelve (13 in three months). What did you expect?
Jen ~ You're right, I should never doubt a faithful reviewer!
Astralalex ~ Joy to the world!
imperial princess Evelyna ~ I should really take down that "what does A/N mean? I've gotten at least 20 people telling me that. Thank you for your indispensable advice, I shall treasure it!
Pointy Ears Are My Thing ~ At least you don't snort when you laugh. I do, anyone can tell you. I find that most HP/LOTR crossovers are usually Slash. I can't write something like that, and I don't plan to.
Well now that the answers to reviews are twice as long as the story, I must take my leave!
