-Predictions and Comparisons-
In the morning Saira awoke and a thought occurred to her. She was supposed to meet Legolas the night before to tell him when she was free. She noticed Legolas was gone so she changed magically and headed out but not before she found a note left by him saying they should continue magic lessons again. She rushed out and as she turned the corner she ran straight into someone knocking a stack of books out of their hands.
"Amin hiraetha" Saira said bending down to help pick up the books. She realized she had spoken in Elvish and felt stupid for doing so. She looked at the person after saying sorry in English. She was at least part Elf by her ears. Her hair was long and brown and her eyes were almost a gray color. Her skin was pale like most Elves but her voice was light.
"Diola lle" she said continuing in Elvish to Saira's delight. Saira also noticed an accent, almost French.
"Sorry again. I wasn't looking" Saira said handing the books to her "You know I thought I knew all the Elves here"
"I transferred this year."
"Oh, well my name is-"
"-Sairalinde Trinity of Kokiri Forest in Hyrule" she said flatly
"How is it so many people now about me when I only found out a year or so ago?"
"It's a legend form long ago. It's just no one knew you were alive yet until Zelda contacted Middle-Earth" she explained
"So, what's your name then?" Saira asked
"Celebrian Ar-Feinel, or Bri for short"
"Nice to meet you. What house are you in?"
"Ravenclaw. I'm a 4th year"
"Oh, how do you like it here?"
"It's different and hard. I am not as fluent in English as I am in other languages. I spent many years in France so I know it better, but not many know it here." Bri explained
"Not necessarily. I'm a little rusty but I do know it"
"Cool" They switched to French to accommodate Bri.
"So where are you from?" Saira asked
"Tirion. It's in Middle-Earth."
"I'm staying in Mirkwood"
For about an hour they talked. Saira didn't have much to tell Bri that she already knew. Saira learned that Bri was brought up in an old Elven group. She was part Elf since her mother was human. They were both killed before her eyes and then she was taken in by the Lord and raised by him.
"Today, me and the other Elves are going to our courtyard after class. Would you like to come?" Saira asked
"Sure"
"We have Defense Against the Dark Arts last. Just meet me in the hall out front"
The first bell ran signaling Saira had ten minutes to get to class.
"Au Revoir" saira said going down to the dungeons for Potions. She waited outside the door for Draco.
He came shortly after though it didn't seem he wanted to stop.
"Draco, hey"
His friends went inside and they stayed in the hall.
"Hey" he said
"I want to apologize. I was doing homework and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until dinner had passed. I'm really sorry"
He seemed to be trying not to smile.
"Anyway, I'm free Friday evenings, so if its good for you, I can give you lessons then" Saira said
"That's perfect. No one is ever in the common room then so just meet me there on Friday" he said happily.
"Alright"
They went in. Class was fun for Saira. It was almost too easy for her. They were making a Strengthening Solution which saira had made back in Hyrule. A few ingredients were different but she basically knew what to do. They thought of Hyrule and it saddened her. When she left the first time she was happy in a way because she left a world overtaken by evil, but she did miss it. It was her home and it always would be.
"Miss Trinity" Snape snapped making Saira jump
"Yes Professor?"
"I wish all my students were as talented as you. Where did you learn suck skills?"
"I worked in the Potion Shop in Kakariko Village and the Elf there had traveled through all the worlds and learned much. He taught me a lot, but I also learned some from someone else I probably shouldn't admit learning from" she said but no one but Dmitri could know what she meant.
"I should hope your skills continue on past O.W.L.S.," he said. Saira filled her vile and corked it. Then she pulled out her wand and got rid of the rest. Snape gave her a sincere smile and walked off. Saira saw Dmitri's potion and got rid of it as well.
"I'm going to fail" e said
"No, you wont" Saira said pulling out an extra vile of potion. She had to pull it away since he went for it
"C'mon love," he pleaded
"I will if you change your hair back"
"You mean his hair isn't naturally blue" Ron said stupidly
Hermione rolled her eyes and Harry laughed. Liz bit her lip and smiled.
"His hair is black" saira said "Well, Dmitri?"
"Blue tips?"
"Fine"
"Alright but you do it" he said
Pretending to cringe, he closed his eyes and leaned forward. She put the vile down and ran her fingers through his spiky hair turning it black with blue tips. Saira smiled proudly and was surprised how good this look was for him.
"Wow, Saira, are you a Metamorphmagus?" Ron asked
"What's that?" saira asked in response
"Never mind" Ron said
"Can you change your appearance and others?" Harry asked intrigued
"Yeah. I've been able to ever since I can remember. Why?"
Harry looked up then blew the hair off his forehead revealing his lightening bolt scar. Saira walked over to him
"I know exactly how you feel," she said smiling gently.
Saira waved her hand over his scar but it was covered for a second until saira felt a burning on the palm of her hand where a lightening bolt burn appeared. Harry, too, grabbed his head in pain. Saira's leg buckled from pain in her side despite it was almost healed. The bell ran and people filed out. Dmitri ran to Snape's desk and put the vile there before running back to Saira and carrying her out.
Everyone gathered out into the hall and surrounded Saira. Dmitri pulled out another vile of red liquid and poured it on Saira's hand. Saira sat for a moment waiting for her side to stop throbbing. Aranel walked up but Dmitri wouldn't leave Saira's side.
"Dmitri, I'll stay with her" Harry said noticing Dmitri had a weird look as if he couldn't decide whether to stay with Saira or go with Aranel whom he knew never liked being late to class.
"Prefects gotta go Harry" Ron said
"Go"
Everyone left and it was just Harry and Saira
"I can honestly say that's never happened before" saira said smiling
"If I'd have known I wouldn't have asked"
"I know, but this gives us a chance to talk." Saira said getting up.
"What do you want to talk about?" he said helping her up
"Do you remember my first day here?"
"Yeah, I went up to your dorm and found you crying"
"I was a wreck. Not much has really changed. And now you seem to be one. Sirius said you and I aren't that different" saira said as they climbed the stairs to the North Tower.
"How so?"
"Think about it"
Harry thought for a moment. "Were both your parents murdered by an evil wizard and left you orphaned?" he asked challenging her. Saira had never really told Harry about her life.
"Wizard? No. Murdered? Never told. I'll probably never know"
"What do you mean?" he asked
"My brother and Vienne-"
"Whose Vienne?" he cut in
"Vienne is Dmitri's mother. She helped raise me until she and her husband moved to Kakariko." Saira explained
They reached the North Tower just as the bell rang. That morning Professor Umbridge had been appointed High Inquisitor of Hogwarts. It was her job to evaluate all the teachers and see if they were fit to teach. They found her sitting behind Professor Trelawney as they went up.
"We'll talk after okay?" Saira said as they joined their friends
Trelawney was angry about having Umbridge in her class. Liz and saira paired up to do their dream journals. Aranel tried to do hers with Dmitri but he kept kissing her neck when Umbridge wasn't looking. Everyone listened hard as Umbridge asked Trelawney to predict something.
"The Inner Eye does not See upon command." Trelawney said
"I see"
Trelawney stuttered but all she predicted was that Umbridge was in grave peril.
"Right well if that's really the best you can do" Umbridge said
"Tonight it's going to ran. Neville is going to trip going down the stairs on the way out and Dmitri's hair will be blue again in 5 minutes" saira said casually flipping through the pages of her book.
"Excuse me" Umbridge said
"Tonight it's going to rain. Neville is going to trip going down the stairs on the way out and Dmitri will be blue in, well, now 4 minutes" saira said without looking up.
"How do you know that?" Umbridge asked with her toad-like smile
"Because she's a Seer" Liz said
"Really? I didn't know that" she said
"Well, what you don't know could fill a warehouse" Dmitri said
"Detention Mr. Alonde. All week. Now, Miss Trinity, what else can you predict?"
Saira closed her eyes. "In your class Hermione will have already read the book. And tonight you're going to stop by Legolas' room and attempt to get him to leave again" saira said curtly
A few people laughed, some rolled their eyes in disbelief and the rest just sat dumbfounded. After class a few people praised Saira. Neville tried to but he fell down the stairs on the way out and saira looked back and saw an interesting look on Umbridge's face.
"I didn't know you could do that love," Dmitri said with his blue hair.
"I only use that skill on rare occasions and sometimes its not always right"
Everything happened just as saira said it would that night. However Legolas was out with Saira while Umbridge came by.
Thursday came and all that remained of Saira's wound was a horrible scar. She hid it with magic but the thought that she knew it was there haunted her a bit. Legolas also wanted to start training again. He had been swamped with tutoring the students but still fit her in three times a week. And now with Elvish lessons for Draco, saira barely had times for anything else since she had so much homework.
Saira finished her homework with ten minutes to spare before she needed to meet Legolas at the lake. As she headed down there she felt she was being followed. Legolas barely let saira put down her things before he threw her a sword and began. Saira was rusty and lost very quick on the first round.
"Oh, my goodness!"
Saira was bound but she'd recognize Umbridge's voice anywhere. She sighed and turned to look with her hands still bound.
"Dolores. What a horrible surprise" Legolas said
"What on earth do you think you are doing?"
Legolas let Saira go
"It is my job to teach and protect saira," he said
"By attacking her with a sword?!"
"I wasn't attacking her. I'm teaching her to fight as I have been since last year"
"She could be seriously hurt if you miss"
"For one, I'd never hurt her because she's too good" he swung at her but she rose her sword and kept him from striking her. "And two since when do you care?"
"I care about the well being of all my students"
"Don't lie. If you had your way, Elves would never be allowed to set foot in Hogwarts"
Legolas was growing angrier every second but managed to keep his cool persona.
"As High Inquisitor of Hogwarts I order you to cease and desist and your immediate removal form this school" Umbridge said
"You can't do that!" Saira yelled angrily
"I can and will"
"I'm afraid saira is right. You have no authority over me, or any Elf here. We may not tell them but its true. I serve a higher order your Ministry has no control over"
"You do not control Hogwarts"
"Neither do you" he said coolly
"I have the right to rid this school of any teacher I think is unfit."
"Well, fortunately I'm not a teacher. I am a guest and tutor. Were you informed about any of the special circumstances concerning particular students you would understand. And no matter what Cornelius institutes, there were laws and treaties created hundreds of years before either of you. I should know; I was there"
"You were there?" Umbridge asked disbelieving.
"That's the great thing about being an Elf. We're immortal" saira snapped
"Saira" Legolas warned. "Yes, I was there. I can give you precise dates and places if you want"
"I cannot allow this to go on. Soon all students will want to learn swordplay"
"Wrong. Saira is the only one allowed. She has unique circumstances which you obviously don't know about"
"Fine, but saira must go straight up to her dormitory after"
"When has she not done so?" Legolas asked
"Sunday night she was not in her dorm"
"I was in the hospital wing" saira said
"So you say"
"If you have nothing else to accuse me of, then we'll continue" Legolas said
Umbridge stormed off angrily. Her face was redder than a beet
"Were you really there when the treaties were done?" saira asked as they sparred again
"Yep. Serenity wrote them, I approved them and presented them"
Saira was shocked to hear this enabling Legolas to defeat her.
"Serenity wrote them?" Saira asked
"Yes. She had many ideas about politics. I think it ran in her blood, but she and I both preferred to go out and explore rather than mess with it. Almost like you"
It was well past dinner before they finished. Despite Umbridge's warning saira stayed with Legolas that night because she was too exhausted to go back. She wished she could spend every night with him just like in Mirkwood. The feeling of Legolas' arms around her was enough to keep saira content.
Bri had started hanging out with all the elves since Saira had introduced them after class. She liked Saira the best because she could speak French with her. Saira returned to her dorm Friday morning. Hermione was there making clothes for the house-elves.
"Hey Hermione" saira called
"Hey saira. Have fun last night?"
"Tons"
"Has anyone told you about this weekend?"
"Nope. I was planning to go with Legolas" saira said helping Hermione magically knit the clothes
"You know, you're the only one that ever helps me. Anyway, can you cancel with him?"
"Give me a reason to first"
"Do you remember when we asked Harry about teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"Yeah"
"Well, we've having the first meeting in the Hog's Head"
"I'm there. I can make it up to Legolas" saira said
Hermione put away her knitting and went off just as Harry was coming in. He ran straight up to saira.
"I've been looking for you" Harry said before she could even say hello. "Ever since you started talking, I've been wanting to know what you meant"
"Really?"
"Yeah. You said we were alike and I just have trouble believing it. I mean you weren't kept in the dark like me were you?" he challenged again
"As bad, no. Worse, probably" Saira said
"Worse?"
"Let me explain. My father died in a war. I only know that because Link was left a letter when my mother died. I never got a chance to learn how she died but I guessing she was murdered. I lived in Kokiri Forest with Link"
"Wait, Link's your brother right?"
"Yeah" saira said "Well he left when he turned 10 leaving me with Dmitri. He came back one time then he was trapped in another dimension for seven years. In that time I went looking for him but you have n idea the things I've seen"
"Try me" Harry said listening intensely
"Well, I've done all kinds of things in Kokiri. Dmitri and I have tried all kinds of dangerous Kokiri Magic that's almost gotten us killed. I've been all over Hyrule too. Once I turned ten I went traveling and in that time I was imprisoned by the Gerudos, stuck in Earth, stayed in Zora's Domain, attacked by skeletons, knocked out by octoroks, and fallen off a cliff and knocked out for a week.or I think it was a week."
"So, where's your brother now?"
"Trying to awaken the 6 sages of Hyrule to save the land. He's already fought with phantoms and was nearly charred to death by a dragon"
"Okay, maybe you do have it a little worse"
In the morning Saira awoke and a thought occurred to her. She was supposed to meet Legolas the night before to tell him when she was free. She noticed Legolas was gone so she changed magically and headed out but not before she found a note left by him saying they should continue magic lessons again.
