Chapter eight
Legolas and Aragorn looked at the old man, Legolas spoke for them both, "what do you mean?"
The man replied almost before the question was complete, "the white wand is not one that I have made…I found it in this shop when I inherited it from my father, but the royal wand is made from the forelock of a golden unicorn, the phoenix tail feather is from a silver phoenix the wood signifies strength command and long life"
Aragorn was feeling acutely embarrassed, he looked around to see the head master looking at him with open amazement,
"Aragorn, the wand that has chosen you is made of the hair of an emperor and the feather of a peasant, both are rare among the type of creatures they are…" he glanced down at the piece of metal upon his wrist and said quickly, "I would that we could talk further upon this subject but the time is against us we can not stay"
Aragorn followed Legolas and Boromir out of the shop and back to the leaky cauldron
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
the next morning when Legolas had pushed his way through to the conscious world he looked around to see that firstly the two men and the dwarf were still a bed and secondly the angle of the sun told him that it was the hour at which Dumbledore had told them to be in the feasting halls, he leapt of the tree on to the balcony and called out
"It is time we were gone Mellon nin, we should be in the feasting halls"
in all of three minutes he was following the two men down the stairs, upon entering the hall they found themselves unable to decide upon which table they should sit, there were four tables that reached the far end of the hall, Legolas did not need his elf eyes to spy the red haired group of children,
"Mellon nin, I think it would be wise to go to the table at which we sat the previous night"
Boromir and Aragorn nodded in agreement, by some chance there happened to be three spaces next to the black haired child, who had led them to the head master,
"May we sit here," asked Aragorn casually
"Hello…how come you are in students clothes?"
"The toad woman had a decree of some sort…only students and teachers may stay in the school…the hobbits are staying in the kitchens…Gimli is aiding a hagrid"
"That foul Umbridge…"
"Ron…keep your voice down…McGonagall is coming this way"
The woman in question stopped beside them,
"You must be Legolas Boromir and Aragorn…it this school it is customary to call the students by their surnames"
Legolas looked at Boromir and Aragorn to see what their reaction to this was, it was strange to call a person by the name of their father and not their own, Aragorn spoke for them all
"then our sires-names are Arathon, Denathor and Thranduil" he said pointing to the respective persons"
"thank you…here are you timetables" they each took a piece of parchment each, it was of little help to them anyway as they could not read the runes upon the paper, they decided that they would trouble their minds over such matters once they had eaten, or at least the men had eaten as Legolas felt disinclined to eating any food, the food he had eaten the previous night was more than enough to keep him from starving
"So what lessons do you have today?" one of the red headed children asked him
"I am afraid to say that I do not know, mayhap you could tell me…" he presented the parchment to the boy who elbowed the black haired one in the ribs and was heard to say loudly
"Hey Harry look here, these people have exactly the same lessons as we do"
The boy looked a little surprised
"Then will you be able to show us where the lessons are? And mayhap you could tell us your names…" Estel cut in
"I am Harry potter, this is Ron Wealsy and this is Hermione Granger…Hermione" the bushy haired child next to him looked up from what appeared to be a sheaf of parchment, nodded at the trio and then perused the runes upon the page once more.
Once the morning meal was finished with Harry led them towards the staircase
"Our first lesson is divination; it is in the north tower"
With this said Harry and Ron sped off to the north tower followed by Legolas he did not need to look back to know that Boromir and Aragorn followed close behind him
At length they reached a silver ladder hanging from the ceiling of the corridor, the two boys came to a halt to catch their breath, Legolas stopped but found that the rest was not necessary for him
"So what is divination?"
"Fortune telling…"
Legolas raised an eyebrow
"If the teacher tells you that you will die in the near future don't listen to her, she has been telling Harry that he will die since he first walked into her classroom"
having said this Ron and Harry both clambered up the ladder Legolas followed, the room which he entered was a small comfortable room with small chairs and tables, there were already many students sitting at the tables already, a glitter of movement in the shadows drew his eyes to a corner where he could see a thin woman waiting, a loud noise brought his attention back to the trapdoor where he saw the toad woman scrambling through the hole in the floor…she cast a look around…
"Is the teacher not here yet," she drawled, looking around with her bulging eyes
"I am sorry milady," called Aragorn from behind Legolas, "but the teacher is standing in the shadows behind you"
The woman jumped around to look at the woman behind her
"Well, if you are in the lesson them come forward and take the class"
"Very well…we will begin where we left off…interrupting dreams…bring out your dream dairies and begin…are you three new to this class?"
Once again Aragorn spoke for them all, "we have come to this school from distant lands"
"Well then…potter, who is going to die very, soon, will tell you how to interpret dreams"
She wandered off again
Legolas turned to Harry
"Well, you who are going to die very soon, will you help us"
At this Ron started to laugh silently
"Yes it is very simple…first we will need a dream"
Legolas and Aragorn both looked at Boromir
"Why should I tell my dreams?"
"Estel is elf raised and I am elf kind" said Legolas in the common tongue, "elves walk a very different path of dreams to men"
The toad woman came over to their table
"Hello…now if I am not mistaken you are the boy from the woods yesterday"
Legolas merely fixed her with an elven death stare
"Well then…interpret Harry's dream for me…Harry what did you dream of last night?"
Legolas was surprised to see almost the same look on Harry's face as had probably been found on his not two minutes previously…
"Last night I dreamt that…I was walking down a stair, there were many doors off the stair, but I could not find the right one"
Legolas knew the dream of which he spoke…
"This means that you are searching for a place but can not find it…the place you seek will soon come to you; you will reach it on dark wings"
Legolas looked up to see the toad staring at him…he was fortunate that in that moment that the lesson had ended, he did not feel that he wished to have to explain himself to this addlebrained woman
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AN~ sorry hope that I will be able to have some Umbridge bashing soon,
Next class Dada…I think that Legolas may start to lose his patience…I mean what are they going to do when every one else reads?
