Chapter thirteen
Harry looked around to see who had cast the spell; it was the slytherins who had been able to see the thresterals. There was deathly silence in the forest glade, Harry turned to were he expected to see Legolas lying spread eagled on the floor like Cedric had been at the end of last year. This was not the sight that greeted his eyes, when he looked he found that the elf was still standing and looking for all the world as though he had not even noticed that a barely stoppable killing curse had been sent in his direction.

Aragorn looked around at the class; they all wore expressions of horror and amazement.
~mellon nin~ the elf beside him called ~do you think that we have done something wrong?~
Aragorn passed his eyes once more over the gaping students; he saw that Hagrid was moving towards the boy who had cast the last spell with a menacing air. He stopped, took a deep breath and bellowed,
"wha de ye think ye wer doin'? yer've got yerrself life imprisonment at Azkaban prison" "no I have not," cruel cold voice replied, "I am leaving" with this said he pulled forth a small stone muttered something and vanished.
"nah, I've gotta go tell Dumbledore wha' appened, could ya six com with me?"
they all nodded and followed him, the rest of the class followed behind them.
"what was that spell? And what is Azkaban Prison?" he asked
Hermione spoke, "that was the unstoppable unblockable Arvada kardavra curse, which is one of the three unforgiveables, the use of them on a fellow human being warrants a life sentence in Azkaban, which is a prison guarded by dementors which are…"
"alright Hermione," said Ron, "we do not need to hear the text book recited to us, to put it simply you just survived a curse that only one other person has ever survived…the other person was him" Ron pointed over at Harry.
"the scary think was that he was able to do the Arvada kardavra curse, it takes a fairly evil spirit to produce one" put in Hermione
"mellon nin, you have all neglected to tell us one thing…what does this curse do?" asked Legolas the same question that Aragorn wished to know the answer to.
"the avada kardavra curse is the killing curse, as Ron said only one person has ever managed to block it."
"someone tried to kill Legolas, had I but know I would have killed that evil orc in human flesh…I may yet." Aragorn felt anger coursing through his veins.
"what I would like to know is why he would wish to kill an elf…in public and so obviously" said Hermione.
"it is obvious," replied Legolas.
"then tell us" put in Ron exasperated
"when I came to the lesson of care of magical creatures yesterday, I could feel the evil falling of that boy in waves…elves are creatures purely of light…"
"so the boy was a death eater,"
"yes he carried with him a small part of a powerful evil entity" ~it was not Sauron, it was too weak~
Aragorn breathed a sigh of relief.
"so he had you know who telling him what to do…"
"I do not know who you refer to,"
"he is referring to Lord Voldermort, evil dark Lord of this world heir of Salazar Slytherin"
they were now in the entrance hall, they made their way trough the corridors to the head masters office. Upon hearing the news of the curse upon Legolas Aragorn felt he could safely say that he had never seen anyone so shocked before in his long life.
"this curse was placed upon you and there have been no effects?" asked the man in a low whisper, Legolas nodded his reply
"well that is a miracle…I am grateful, I would not want to face Gandalf truly angry." The old man turned to hagrid, "was it a student?"
"I dunt think so….he'd come ta las' class thou'…" the head master frowned and then reached into a drawer of his table and pulled out what resembled at thin sheet of parchment save for there was a life like portrait of the boy who had disappeared in the woods,
"yeah tha' wer him, ho is tha?"
"this…this is only Voldermort's son"
"yer telling me he had a son…"
"yes unfortunately it is so…it is also unfortunate he escaped, do not worry yourself hagrid it was no fault of yours." He turned to the waiting students, "Aragorn boromir and Legolas I will not think to ask as to how you have managed to be placed in detention on your first day, but I would advise against agrivating the Professor Umbridge"
"we did not set out to annoy the good toad but it was unfortunate that we were unable to read the books"
"you write with different letters?" Aragorn nodded as he notice the other two doing likewise.
"that would explain two things, the first that the rings can only translate langues that have the same alphabet as English" said Dumbledore
"what is the second thing that has been explained?" Aragorn asked curious.
"it would explain the owl that delivered a letter full of symbols that none of the staff here have been able to read" the man rummaged around on his desk and brought forth a scroll of parchment, Aragorn also noticed the seal was that of Gandalf's.
"it is a letter from Gandalf, we can learn of his progress" Aragorn held out his and was passed the parchment, once he had opened it his eyes were met with the Darion script of the elves. He cleared his throat slightly and read
"to the fellowship of the ring, fate has been kind, I have found the ancients but the istar's require my help, we will be able to return you to your world after the mid winter festivals, it would seem that we would be able to forward your travel by sending you to the woods of lothlorien, I will return to you once my work on this earth is stable, but I will not be able to stay in middle earth for as long as I have again, I would also request that the entire fellowship learns the task of turning into an animal at will as I believe that this will aid you in times to come, yours faithfully Gandalf"
there was a moment of silence then Dumbledore spoke
"who am I to deny an istar? You will learn the art of the animagi the hobbits too, it will take long but the reward will be great if you achieve it, if you would like to have lesson they can be started today, I would also like to extend this invitation to the rest of students in this room as well. The three normal students jumped at the reference to them but were all found eager to participate.
"very well I will have to call Professor McGonagall, then your lesson will start now"
