Chapter 3-Strange Runes!
Remus Lupin had been sitting at the teachers table when the doors disappeared. After Harry's disappearance Dumbledore had offered for him to take up the Defence against the Dark Arts position again. Once the runes had appeared, Remus had stayed where he was and smiled.
"Albus, how did the doors seal?" Professor McGonagall quietly asked.
"I do not know, Minerva" Professor Dumbledore stated looking contemplative. "I do not know of any a spell that can be used to seal a door in such a fashion, only those to simply close or lock, not to melt."
"Albus, what are these runes? What do they mean? It's of no language I recognize" asked the Ancient Runes professor.
"There is a very good reason you don't know what these runes is. They come from a language that has not been read or seen by humans in over 10,000 years. It is High Elvish." Remus spoke up.
"High Elvish? You mean the House Elves have a language?" asked Snape.
"No. House elves are nothing compared to Elves, they are mere cousins really." stated Remus. "They are a race that has not been seen on earth in millennia. They are extremely powerful and skilled warriors, and were capable of doing magic without the need for wand."
"But what does these runes mean, if the High Elves died out ages ago, how is it that there language is up on that wall?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"I did not say that the Elves no longer existed. I said they have not been seen by humans since they left." Remus replied. "They were considered to be one of the greatest embodiments of Light that ever walked the planet. It was said to be impossible for a Elf to go Dark. They were able to communicate with all forms of living things, both non-magical and magical, and even it is known that some Elves could talk to trees."
"Well? What does it represent?" demanded Professor Snape loudly over the clapping that had sprung up after the fight.
Remus turned away from the doors, to look at the teachers, and into the rest of the hall, everyone was waiting in anticipation to find out what the mysterious runes meant.
"Speak, Friend, and Enter"
The doors to the Great Hall burst open, slamming back into the walls with a huge force. Three figures stood in the doorway.
Heads swerved and jaws dropped as the owner of the voice drew further into the Hall.
"Silly password … will talk about that …" muttered the first of the three.
Please Review
Thanks to all who reviewed. Again what would be a good nickname for Gimil-(said by a friend ie Legolas or Aragorn)?
I did hope that this chapter could be longer but the conversations between Lotr and Hp world are being a pain.
