Note from the author: "Hey everyone. If you've actually read this far I'm
ecstatic. I realize this story is very long and has a lot to it but I'm
glad some people are enjoying it. The sad part is I still haven't stopped
writing. Anyway, I wanted to ask a favor of my readers. I should first
state that I'm a terrible at typing and have many typos so if you see any
please email me or tell me in a review. I wouldn't ask but I have read and
reread my story and I still cant find them all. Thanks a bunch. ~Saira"
-Lessons and Powers-
The day flew by for once. Everyone in the 5th year was drowning in homework for the weekend but everyone was also putting it off so they could enjoy Friday. Saira looked at her watch.
"6:50" she said aloud
Saira made her way to the Slytherin common room because she'd agreed to teach Draco on Friday nights at 7:00. She really didn't want to do the lesson there but he said no one would be there.
In case someone did happen to come in, saira wore her Elvish clothes because they didn't have the Gryffindor crest or colors. She remembered how to get there from last year when Liz and Ita had been attacked. She reached the stone wall when she realized that she didn't know the password. Luckily the door opened and Draco appeared.
"I was afraid you wouldn't come"
"I promised"
"Come in"
Saira walked past him and into their common room. It was much larger compared to Gryffindor, but it was much less welcoming. All the furniture was either black or dark green and the walls as well. Despite the crackling fire, it was very cold and saira wrapped her cloak rightly around her shoulders.
"What do you think?" he asked
"It's.nice" saira wasn't sure how to describe it without being rude.
"Are you cold?" he asked seeing her shiver
"I'm fine. Well, shall we get started?"
"Sure, sit down"
She did but not beside him. She sat across and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face but Saira didn't want him to get the wrong idea.
"So, how much do you know exactly?" saira asked
"I know all the grammar rules, but I don't really know the words and barely how to pronounce them"
"Okay, well let's start with greetings and farewells and I'll teach you how to pronounce them as we go because it can change depending"
Draco smiled. At first glance saira remembered how kind he was and seeing his smiling face now, she felt guilty for being so rude.
"First of all, you must know Elves are very, um, intimate, I guess you could say"
As the minutes went by, saira became more and more comfortable around Draco. He was being sincere to her and that made her trust him. She knew that when it wasn't just her he would become the boy his father raised but she decided she would forget that while it was just the two of them.
"Okay you mastered both the greetings and farewells and I better be going"
"It's only 9:00," he said
"I realize that but I have other things to do and people to see" saira said grabbing her bag.
"Like what and who?" he asked curiously
"Homework and Master Greenleaf" she said being formal about Legolas as not to attract suspicion.
"Legolas? He's your body guard right?"
"Yeah"
"I don't want to pry but what do you need a bodyguard for?"
"There are a lot of people after me. Too many" Saira said, "Well, I'll see you next week"
Saira left before Draco could protest but as she often did, she ran into someone leaving.
"Oh, sorry" Saira said automatically then saw who it was. "Oh hey, Liz. Voron."
"Hey saira, what are you doing coming out of the Slytherin common room" Liz asked immediately trying to keep a smile on her face.
"I-I-I" saira hadn't planned on telling anyone about teaching Draco. "I was talking to a friend"
Liz eyed her skeptically and suspiciously. "How many friends from Slytherin.. oh!" Liz used her power to find out the truth.
"Voron I'll see you Sunday okay?"
He kissed Liz before retreating to his common room.
"I can explain" saira said instantly
"Explain! What has possessed you? Of all people. Draco!"
"I know! I know!"
"You could have told me," Liz said
"I know and eventually I would have"
"One week of not seeing each other and we have a gap. You know what this means?" Liz smiled.
"A long chat"
"C'mon"
"Wait, Legolas needed to talk to me about something"
"Okay, we'll stop there first"
Saira and Liz walked arm in arm to Legolas' room. Saira was about to say the password but she heard shouting.
"Umbridge" the said together
"This is the third time this week she's come by. Elf hater" Liz said
However they didn't get a chance to go in before Umbridge came out red faced and furious. She glared angrily at the two girls flashing her pointy teeth at them. Legolas held the portrait open smiling.
"Have a nice evening Dolores" he called before turning to the girls. "Come in"
"What was that all about?" Saira asked when they sat down.
"Another failed attempt to get me to leave. She found some of the treaties and thought she found a loophole."
"Cool. So what did you want to tell me?"
"Well, it's actually for all the Elves. Tell all of them to meet at the lake at sunset on Sunday"
"Okay" Saira said "Well, unfortunately I have plans tonight so I'll see you then"
Without another word the girls left. When they got to the common room an owl was waiting with a letter for Saira. When she saw the Hyrule crest she knew it was from either Link or Saira.
"Open it" Liz said urging
"I am"
" 'Dear Saira,'" she began after ripping the letter open
"Is it from Link or Saira?" Liz asked first
"Link. 'I felt an urge to write you. This is a small letter but I thought you should know some things. I am in hiding right now. I can barely cross the village because Ganondorf has increased the security so much. He has also found out about the information you have obtained from the Hylian scrolls. Guilds are waiting at a moments notice for you to have an unguarded moment. Keep your eyes open and keep your skills high. I know about your injury and I hope you are healing quickly. No in this time of absence from each other I love you with all my heart and never forget that. Link."
Saira folded the letter then a vision consumed her but this time it was painless. Saira was back on a sailboat and she was filled with a sense of fear. However she saw her reflection in the water and saw that she was Serenity.
"Serenity!"
She turned happily hearing that voice. Legolas came up and kissed her.
"Happy birthday love" she said to him
"Happy birthday? Is it really?"
"You told me 1,000 years ago and I've never forgotten even if you have"
"Are you sure it was in Narquelie?" -October-- he asked
"Positive"
Saira's vision ended and she smiled breathing a little harder.
"You alright?" Liz asked
"Sometimes next month someone has a birthday and I think it'd be good to do something for him" Saira said
"Huh?"
"You already know so don't act stupid"
"Sometimes its not fun knowing all that" Liz said
"Anyway."
"Anyway what were you doing with DRACO!!?"
"Okay, first you already know"
"I can control it. I want to hear it from you. He's the definition of evil Saira"
"He's only evil to you guys. If you've heard the things he's said-"
"Like?" Liz asked
"Well he said I'm the only person that's ever made him feel guilty for the things he's done" Saira said
"What?" Liz asked
"He wants to learn Elvish and I'm just giving him lessons"
"Liz closed her eyes then got a huge grin on her face.
"Wow, I would have never guessed that he had a heart or that it would belong to a Gryffindor Elf" Liz said trying not to laugh
"What are you talking about?"
"Draco has the hugest crush on you. Be careful or you'll be pulled into another love triangle"
"No way. He know I'm in lo-"
"He knows all right but he doesn't care" Liz said
"So can you tell what anyone anywhere is feeling?" Saira asked curiously
"As long as it's in the same dimension. My mum was one of the most talented and her gifts passed to me. Literally"
"Cool. So what is Legolas feeling?"
"Make a prediction first"
"What? Are we swapping powers for amusement?" Saira asked
"What else are we gonna use them for?" Liz said "Now you have two cool powers so double for me"
"Moocher" Saira said "Only one power each time though. Prediction or appearance?"
"Prediction" Liz said
"Okay, about who?"
"Um, how bout Voron"
"Tomorrow he is going to trip down the stairs on his way to get to you"
They both laughed. Then Liz screwed up her face in concentration.
"He he. Dmitri is frustrated because of Potions. He doesn't understand. God he's gonna fail without you."
"I know."
"So can you change everything?" Liz asked meaning her appearance
"Yeah, hell I could change into you"
"Sure. I'll believe that when I see it" she said unconvinced
"Just watch" saira stood up. She ran her fingers through her hair making it long and black identical to Liz's. Next the waved her hands in front of her entire body except her face and they changed to Liz's too. Saira then put her hands in front of her face for a second then removed them revealing Liz's face down to the last eyelash. Liz jumped up and stared in amazement because it was as if she were looking at herself.
"Incredible" Liz whispered. "What about the voice?"
And in the same voice that came form Liz, "But of course. However only a select few can do all this"
The portrait door swung open and Voron walked in. Saira winked at Liz. The look on Voron's face was utter disbelief.
"Liz?" he asked but it was Saira who answered
"Saira is being a show off"
Voron slowly walked up unconvinced. He stared into Saira's eyes then at Liz. He then leaned down and kissed the real Liz.
"This is Elizabeth. Nice try Saira"
Saira shook her head and returned to her normal state.
"How'd you know?" Liz asked
"It didn't feel right. Anyway I just came to return your book. You left it on my bed"
He smiled broadly then left. Liz's cheeks were bright red and Saira had her head tilted as she looked at her friend.
"His bed?"
"It's not what you think"
"Uh huh. Your turn" Saira said sitting down again.
"Pick your person"
"How bout Ron?"
Again Liz's face screwed up in concentration then she started laughing
"What?" Saira asked in surprise.
"Since the end of first year it seems" she said
For another half hour they entertained each other and later Harry Ron and Hermione joined them asking Saira to change into all different people.
"You know, we could use your talent to our advantage" Harry said later on that night
"If you're going to suggest that I impersonate the teachers to stop giving us homework or something, no can do," Saira said, "I'm pretty sure the teachers know"
"But at least you're still here for our amusement" Liz said
Saira and Liz put on a little show for everyone with their Elvish powers. It was a lot of fun and they even managed to get Harry in a good mood.
