Sorry for things taking so long but things at home are erratic right now.  My grandma is 86 years old and has always been in perfect health; lately she has been very sick and had to have surgery to remove cancer from a huge bump at the top of her head.  It has been very difficult for me and my family, between watching over her and getting her to the places she needs to go.  So for a while yet my updating will still be erratic, but I will do the best I can.

On the bright side of things I just finished my first year of college and made dean's list and all that.

Cool Quote

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
--Theodore Roosevelt

Now on with the show

Last time

Elrond knew that Harry being half-elven and half-wizard would be a very powerful man, one that you would not want to cross.  Harry would have to learn how to control both his elven magic and his wizarding magic and see how they mix together.  Harry would be able to get the elven magic lessons in his kingdom just fine, and even some of the wizarding ones.  But, he realized that for Harry to be the person that he needs to be and to have the control he needs to, he would have to attend the Wizarding School to obtain control on that magic. 

Elrond realized that this scared him more than anything else, for he knew what some of the outcomes could be, and he had a pretty good idea of what was to come in the near future.  And that future absolutely terrified him.

Now

Chapter 6

(Rivendale At Last)

"Ada, one of the first things I insist we do when we settle in and get the pressing things taken care of is to find a new way of traveling, this walking everyone, nowadays, just does not cut it" whined Elrohir, who looked like he was wiped out. 

Which for an elf is very unusual because they have quite a bit of stamina and it takes a lot for one of them to become tired.  But the journey back to Rivendale was tiring, both in a physical and mental sense.

"You know Ada, I usually disagree wit5h just about everything Elrohir says, even if it is just a point made so that we can argue.  But this time I beg and implore you to listen to the dunder head and to head his advice" said Elladan to his father, while at the same time he had a slight puzzled look upon his face, like he could not figure out where the words had come from or why he was agreeing with his twin.

Elrohir and Elladan were the best of brothers and friends; Elrond was proud of both of his children.  Sometimes though the arguing of his children exasperated him to no end his boys argued over any and everything.  But boy or boy if anyone was to say anything bad to one of his sons and the other one found out all he would break loose.  Neither of them accepted slurs on the other one's character, unless of course it was them doing the slurring. 

Glorfindel who had been quite up till this point replied to the twins comment in an excited voice "I totally agree with the boys, how about one of those sporty cars thingies we seen on the way to get the little one.  It was something to do with a cats name, kitty……………no no, that's not right Lion…….no.  Well right now I do not recall but it sure looked fast.

Elrond who had gotten a smirk on his face doing the time that Glorfindel was talking replied "Glorfin, my dear, dear friend, your age is starting to show.  You know they say to memory is one of the first things to start to go" Glorfindel upon hearing this started spurting, trying to get words out.

Elrond seeing what was happing ignored it and continued on "The next sign of getting old or so that I have heard is trouble of making one's self understood"  Elrond could see that a red hue was over taking Glorfindel's face so he decided to end his friend's misery.

"No matter though, maybe you are just having a bad day.  Anyway the car that you and the boy seen that you loved so much was called a Jaguar" Elrond finally ended.  So that his friend would not see him smiling at his loss of dignity he looked down upon the angelic face of his grandson.  He knew that Harry would be waking soon.  He had been keeping Harry in an induced healing sleep, which at the same time keep the child calm until things were explained to him. 

Elrond was now looking upon his kingdom and seeing how is people were settling in and seen that although is was towards evening everything seemed fine, he and his small group were approaching his house, and he would soon be able to take care of Harry. 

"Old,…….Old……Who are you calling old, Elrond of Rivendale" replied Glorfindel who was unable at that moment to come up with a better response.

Elrond snorted.

Glorfindel in a huffed voice told Elrond "I was only able to look at the car for just a second, my friend, because I was busy keeping watch that no body approached us.  And for just a quick glance I knew that the cars name had something to do with a cat……did I not?"

"Whatever you say my friend" replied Elrond.

During the time that they had been bantering, they had finally reached the home of Elrond and his family.  The sky around keep on darkening and everything and one was preparing for the evening meal and bed. 

They came to a hall that spilt with hallways leading to the right and left and steps leading up to more rooms.  Glorfindel nodded to the twins and Elrond, and patted Harry on the back and turned towards the right so that he could reach his room. 

The twins started to go to when Elladan asked "Ada, where are you going to put the little mite for the night, would it not be strange and scary for him to wake up in a new place with no one he knows?"

Elrond smiled at his son's thoughtfulness and replied "I had thought of that already my sons, that is why for tonight he shall stay with me in my room, so that when he wakes up I shall be there to comfort him and explain what is happening to him."

Both of his sons nodded and left but before they were totally out of sight Elrond raised his voice and told them to go and get something to eat before they went to bed.  Elrond then continued up the grand stairs and on up to his room.  

Elrond went into his room and laid Harry down on the gigantic bed.  The bed was the size of about to 4 posters put together that were made of oak.  The room itself was open and airy.  While the room had feminine touches like curtains at the balcony windows, you could tell that this was a purely masculine room. 

The bed that Harry was laying in made Harry look so small and vulnerable, making Elrond want to just pick him up and hold him tight, protecting him from everyone and everything.  Elrond took a last look and walked over to his bathroom and wetted a rag, he then walked out and into his room and stopped at his armoire and picked up silver colored tunic that Harry could sleep in and be comfortable in. 

He then went back over to where Harry was at and stripped the child of the filthy rags we was wearing and washed him off, being careful to avoid hurting the many bruises and cuts the child had, while also making sure everything was clean.  Elrond then gently leaned Harry up and placed the silken tunic over his head.

Harry had a smile on his face as he was gently lowered back down.  Elrond then placed his right hand on Harry's head and left over his hear and proceeded to heal Harry as much as he could. 

Elrond before leaving to get his self ready for bed leaned down and placed a kiss upon Harry's head. 

By the time Elrond returned Harry was in a deep sleep, Elrond carefully slid in bed next to Harry and carefully cradled the child to him. 

And this is what lured him into a peaceful sleep. 

Hope you guys like it.
