A/N: I'm back! I have had so much going on and have been really stressed but I found my muse again. I might have left her in Disneyworld when I went only now has she decided to return form "where the magic lives" or so the hotel keys say. I also have to coach and that has taken up a lot of my time. But I have like 2 chapters for this that I know exactly what I want to do. Plus I have a couple other stories in the works. Sorry if my last chapter was a little edgy, edgy is a good word to describe it.
Dedication: To all my friends who have encouraged me to write, and write this.
Disclaimer: Oh I own all the Harry Potter books, all the Lord of the Rings books, the Harry Potter movies, and Return of the King. But I had to pay for them, they are not mine to say I made them. I wish I could, then no more coaching. But I might be taking over Mordor some time soon so it will all be ok.
The group of friends went back to where Aragorn and Gandalf were. It had taken longer than expected because Harry and Serena had to get a hold of themselves. They took up seats on a bench and dropped their school bags beside them. There was an awkward silence that followed. So Gandalf broke the silence.
"Are you going to tell us where you are from?" Gandalf asked.
"We are from, ah, the future, we think." Serena said.
"Well, why do you think and not know, for you could be from our past." Gandalf said.
"We had not thought about that," Hermione said, "we could be, but I do think that we are from the future. Can you help us get back?"
"Well it will take something. And I think I can do it. I am a wizard after all and apparently a disturber of the peace in the Shire."
"Your a wizard!?" Harry blurted out.
"Yes, he is. Also called Maia in elvish but in the common tongue it is wizard." Aragorn said.
This caused everyone to look at each other and wonder about Gandalf and now if they should tell him that they to are wizards. Yet, Hermione was the one who opened her mouth first. She heard something that made her mind race. It also brought a smile to her face.
"Elvish? There are elves here who have their own language?" Hermione said.
"Yes there are elves here. Why would they not be here for Lord Elrond is one himself." Aragorn said.
Ron thought 'How can an elf rule this place?' But they had not seen any elves, not to their knowledge. So he asks the next question on his mind. "What do the elves look like?" They had seen the elves, just not known what they were. Aragorn described them and Hermione got a puzzled look on her face.
"They do not look like that, they are short and have very large eyes and think that they need to serve wizards." Hermione, not really realizing what she had just said, made a mistake. She had said that the elves she knew of served wizards. To this, Gandalf looked at her and wondered if she had all of her sense.
"I am sorry that you are very mistaken, Hermione, but the elves do not serve wizards, in fact they are on the same level or better than wizards. Elves are the elder ones, the ones who in their own way helped shape Middle- Earth. They are not going ot serve anyone, let alone a wizard. They are wise, that is one of the reasons many seek council from them. Some are even have the gift of foresight." Gandalf spoke kindly, though Hermione was warring his patients.
Hermione, upon hearing the "gift of foresight" mentioned, immediately scoffed. "Foresight, what a load of rubbish. Do they read tea leaves and palms or just look into crystal balls? Oh Harry watch out or they will see your doom!" Hermione said mockingly.
"Fool of a Granger! Do not dissect the elves! Do not say things you do not know! For they will not always be headed. You need to hold your tongue at times and not mock those who you know nothing of." Gandalf yelled.
Hermione was stunned. Her face turned a bright crimson and she stared down at her shoes. Apparently, they had become quit interesting to her. 'I don't know things about elves?' she thought, 'I am the founder of S.P.E.W., I know more than anyone.' Hermione felt like she wanted to run or cry. Serena, seeing her friends discomfort, and wanting to change the subject to maybe get some answers, said "So, Gandalf, you are a wizard? Where is your wand?"
"My staff, if that is what you mean, is this." He was pointing to the staff he was leaning on. Serena was puzzled. He looked like Dumbledore, had the same kindly exterior with the threat of inner power as Dumbledore, but there were many differences.
Since things did not seem to be going by anyone's plan of how they should, Serena decided to say that they were wizards. Well start is more like it. She began "Well, Gandalf, see Harry, Ron, Hermione and I a-muff" Harry had just put his had quickly over her mouth. It was a second later that Ron did the same thing. As an after thought, he put his other over Hermione's but she was not going to say anything any time soon anyway. It took all of Serena's will power to resist from biting into Harry's hand.
"What Serena is trying to say is that we have heard of wizards before, and of how wise they are." Harry said.
Serena turned her head to give Harry a very dirty look, this was in effect to try and get Harry to remove his hand, since Ron had abandon his hand on Serena's face. He was keeping his on Hermione's, and trying with the other to comfort her from the shock. Harry, however, had moved his hand to keep Serena from answering or correcting him.
Aragorn and Gandalf just looked at the people sitting on the bench. It was decided that they were not telling them something. Something that was important, but they could not figure it out. All they could decipher was that Serena was going to say something that there might have been an agreement on not saying. That and Serena really wanted Harry's hand away from her mouth. And that Ron might like Hermione. Yet to get anywhere in not just how to get these children back to where they came from, but who they were, they were going to need to get them talking.
So it was Aragorn who tried to get them to open up some more. "Harry, you might let Serena answer her own question." The response to this was Serena shaking her head very violently, and Harry having to move his hand with it.
"I don't think that that would be a good idea to do. She might say something about the future that would not be good for you to hear. Messing with time and timelines can cause a lot of damage." Harry said.
Serena finally saw her chance to get her mouth away from Harry's hand when he began saying what he had. Thus Serena had jerked her head away form his hand. "We don't even know exactly where we are relative to where we are form. Or the date and how these things are counted! What harm could I do with saying was I was going to say?"
"A lot." Hermione said. She had looked up when Serena had started talking again, figuring that it was a good time to begin to pay attention again. At least she could put what she had learned with the time turner into some use.
"We don't know what we are doing here or what our presence could do or has done. We still need to tread lightly on what we say. Sorry Mr. Aragorn and Mr. Gandalf if we are confusing you, but this is important to say." Hermione said.
"First, it is not 'mister' anything, though I do not speak for Gandalf. I think that you four may still need some time to talk about this. Perhaps, if Lord Elrond approves, although I do not see any reason why he should not, you could stay the night. Maybe a nice meal would clear your heads. I shall return after I speak with Lord Elrond about you four staying here for a little while." Aragorn said. He then got up and went in search for Elrond to see if his plan would be fine for everyone. The five that remained sat in silence, none daring to say anything. When Aragorn returned, he said that they could stay, after this was the last homely house.
So began the time that the four friends spent in Rivendell.
