Elvish Wizardry
Chapter 3 – Meeting Dumbledore

"Well that was weird." One of the remaining aurors said, scratching his head.

"Yeah, I wonder if she was telling the truth about coming from middle earth," another auror said.

"That would be cool! After all, the Lord of the Rings trilogy is awesome," the first auror replied.

"Yeah." All of the remaining aurors agreed. Then, their conversation finished, they began to inspect the room and the cauldron, which was still smoking.

"So, Your name is Menelluin Liantasse. You are half-elven, come from middle earth, and you were hunting in Fangorn Forest when you felt a jerk and were transported here." Dumbledore summed up what Llu had told him. "Then you saw the Bloodmage and shot him with your bow."

"Yes, and all I want to do is go home, I know that I have no place in this world." Llu, replied.

"Well, I shall do everything in my power to get you back to your home, It just might take a while." Dumbledore said.

"But Dumbledore," Kingsley protested, "Where shall she stay? There is no place for her at the Ministry and I doubt that any wizarding family will want to take her in for a long amount of time."

"And why not?" Dumbledore inquired.

"She has magical powers." Tonks jumped in.

"So do we." Dumbledore said.

"But she does not use a wand!" Kingsley looked distressed. "It is abnormal, she gave us a demonstration of her skills and I do not think she showed us all that she could do."

"No, I did not," Llu said. "It is forbidden to reveal all of our powers to strangers."

"With good reason." Dumbledore stroked his beard and fixed his hat. "I am assuming that you are fatigued after such a long day." Llu nodded. "Well, Tonks will escort you to a room and you may rest. Will you give me a demonstration of your skills tomorrow?"

"Yes, I would be glad to." Llu agreed.

"Okay child, come this way." Tonks headed towards the door and beckoned. "It's not far."

After taking a bath and eating a small snack, brought to her by a small animal that said it was a 'house elf', Llu settled into bed and reviewed the days events over in her head.

.: I wonder what will happen? This world is so strange. Everyone seems to know about where I come from. Why have I not heard of this place? :. She turned over, restless, .: At least they are not angry because I killed that man! The people here are very nice, especially that Dumbledore man. Still, I wish I was at home. :.

The next day, Llu walked into Dumbledore's office. He sat at his desk, looking through a humongous book, with a large red bird on his shoulder.

Llu cleared her throat and Dumbledore looked up. "Ah yes, you are certainly up early for a young person." His eyes twinkled, "But no matter, shall we start the demonstration?" When Llu nodded he shrugged his shoulders and the large bird flew to a perch on the side of the room. "Off we go, I set up a room downstairs because I have a lot of delicate instruments in here that are disrupted by magic." He led the way to the door.

(A/N: coughcough. The instruments come in later. Dumbledore failed to mention that they were disrupted by DARK magic.)

"So," Llu asked, "Where are we? This structure is very large and seems to have a lot of desks in it, from what I've seen."

"Well, we are in a school. Hogwarts, to be specific, I am the headmaster. The school year is starting in one day, I would invite you to join the sorting ceremony because you might as well have something to do while you are here, but the Ministry has claimed possession of you for the next few days." Dumbledore saw Llu's eyes flash and added hastily, "Not possession, I am sorry, they only wish to question you."

"Oh, ok, when will I be done? I wish to learn more about you 'wizards' and your school." Llu said. "This place is very different from what I am used to."

"Yes, I'm sure." Dumbledore agreed, "We are here, would you like a lemon drop before we begin?"

Llu said no, and they entered the classroom, which had its desks piled on the sides of the room. There were two comfy-looking chairs set in the middle of the room.

"What would you like me to do?" Llu asked, after they were seated.

"Well, because I don't know the full extent of your powers, why don't you just pick your favorite spell?" Dumbledore

Llu's eyes twinkled mischievously, "Ok." She raised her hand, and pointed toward the window, through which the sun shined in a cloudless sky. "Watch this, I learned this a few days before I came here." She twitched her finger and a cloud suddenly appeared. Unfolding from inside, it formed the shape of a star, and then streaked across the sky, leaving a small trail of whiteness. The cloud/star reached the sun and 'exploded', whiteness reaching out in all directions. Then as soon as it appeared, the cloud disappeared, the whiteness vanishing from the sky.

"That spell was purely for amusement. I also know spells that are more practical, such as this." She pointed towards Dumbledore's robes, on which a small rip could be seen, and while they watched, the rip mended together. "My mother taught me that one because I was forever ripping my clothes out in the forest." A small tear gave her eyes a glassy look. "When do you think I can return to my home?"

"I am not sure, and for that I am sorry. I just want you to know, I am using every bit of time I can scavenge to try and find a way to re-open the portal." Dumbledore leaned forward and took Llu's small, strong hand in his own. "I promise that you will get home."

A knock sounded on the door. "Come in," Dumbledore said. The door creaked open and Kingsley and Tonks entered the room.

"Dumbledore, the person from the Ministry of Magic is here to take Menelluin for questioning." Kingsley said.

"Well," Dumbledore replied, "We can't keep them waiting, can we? Lets go meet him Llu."

Llu, looked sideways at Dumbledore, the twinkle was gone from is eye. .: I guess he doesn't like the ministry. :.
