((Whoo!! Okay, gangses. I'm the resident LotR nut; therefore, if I make
some HP mistakes, don't kill me. I'm sure Drag will have done a very
thorough job of it already.
Anyway.. italics are in [brackets] and thoughts are in ::colons::.. ie, [Italic word] ::thought::. Got it? Good! Now, ladies and gentses... no flaming, and be nice.))
Chapter Two: Discovery
"A child?"
"I told you so, Kingsley."
"With a BOW? Tonks, even this is hard to believe..."
"Yeah, it's a bow. By the Valar, why are you holding little sticks? They feel magical, but..." The girl, though apparently confused, didn't lose her coolheaded approach to nearly everything.
"Sticks?" The man who was called Kingsley laughed. "They're [wands], my deranged child. See?" He twirled the stick around, said something, and bubbles flew out of it.
"Oh, magic? S'easy." The girl pointed a finger; without saying a thing she sent huge, blue-violet bubbles- much more impressive than Kingsley's- flying through the air.
"Um, Tonks?"
"Yeah, I saw that. Must've been an illusion. Do it again? Or a different spell?"
Over the course of the next five minutes the two Aurors were amazed. The young girl made more bubbles, flowers, miniature animals, and repaired a crack in the wall- all without saying a thing, and without a wand.
"She's a freak!" Kingsley was always rude. Tonks sighed.
"Kingsley, we don't know where she's from... there was a twisted portal in here, remember?"
"Good point. Girl, what's your name, where're you from?"
"You're being hasty."
"Doesn't mean anything to an Auror."
"What's an Aurour?"
"Oh, nevermind that. At least say where're you're from."
"Middle-Earth; Lothlorien, to be exact. I WAS in Fangorn, looking for Treebeard... but then I get jerked here and there's some obviously evil guy looking all malicious, so I killed him. S'easy; I'm a dead shot with a bow, and equally problematic, as my cousin so kindly puts it, with sword and dagger. By the way, if you're still wondering, my name's Menelluin.."
"Now that's a mouthful." Tonks looked confused.
"Llu. Just call me Llu."
"Much easier; my thanks. I must say that you're a wondrous actor, however."
"Actor? I am no actor; I am a half-elven warrior maid. Truth."
::Dear god, she's convinced she's a character straight out of Lord of the Rings... but I never heard of a character called Menelluin. How strange.::
"So which Lord of the Rings book are you pretending to be from?"
"Lord of the Rings? What?"
"You know... the Fellowship..."
"Oh, you mean Aragorn, Boromir, Frodo, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Gandalf, Gimli, and Legolas? I know them all; well, knew Boromir. It's a pity he died, greedy and lustful though he was."
"You know them? So which of your friends are playing them?"
"Nobody's 'playing them', as you put it. I'm from Middle-Earth! I was born in Rivendell- I never knew my parents, and so I went to Lorien as a babe to two wonderful, caring elves! I know and knew them all! Why are you testing me like this? I'm half-elven! Believe me! I only want to go home... if there are places like this in the world, I'm never leaving home again!"
::I only want to go home.. I only want to be free of this madness, I only want to go home... is that such a bad thing to want?::
"Um, Kingsley?" Tonks's voice dropped to a low whisper. "I think she's telling the truth."
"So do I..."
"We need to see Dumbledore, and now. School starts in three days... if we hurry we can get things set. I don't know how to send her back..."
"Neither do I. Dumbledore is the best bet... y'know, I just remembered. It's Potter's third year; we should go out there anyway."
"Kingsley... this Bloodmage guy..."
"I know. Let's go. Llu?"
"Yeah?" Both of the Aurors had expected her to have been crying; her captivating eyes were clear and without tears.
"We're going to go see a powerful wizard named Dumbledore; he might know things we don't."
"As long as it might get me out of here, or to somewhere less... revolting, I'm fine with it." The girl touched the insides of her wrists together; they chinked ever so softly. She walked out of the room, a slight smile on her face.
((Okay, gang. Reviews!
From Dragon:
Dolineth: yeah i know he seems like a coward, but we kinda needed a reason to get our OC into the hp world... and besides... the 'bloodmage' was just being overconfident, and everyone knows that wont get you anywhere! also, the 11 year old with a bow was half elven, so she was an 11 year old with a bit of magic and was a master with the bow
From Blu:
Okay, all of you. YOU RULE!!!
Dolineth: He is a coward. I think Drag was modeling him after Pettigrew... oh well. Hey, see what she said. I have no idea really.
Soup: hey, thanks.
Oorjit: I can't wait how it works out either but expect... must I hint... no need for love potions? (Strictly because, honestly, they won't be needed... hopefully life'll be taking its own course... mwahahahahaha...)
Lily Evans: Yeah, I know. Major crossover... it's more a LotR/HP xover then anything else tho.
So guys R&R!!! Hugses to all!!))
