Chapter nineteen

When Aragorn woke the next morning he lay on his back thinking of many things, the foremost in his mind was to wander as to how well Legolas had succeeded the night before with his plan, he thought also of this new magic he was learning the experience of being able to change into the form of an animal was a novel one and Aragorn found that he enjoyed it immensely, he also knew that it would be useful t disguise the fellowship in the open country although it would be better if as few people as possible knew of this, he sat up in his bed and turned to face the window, a smile cracked its self upon his face when he saw his friend resting in the tree that came up to the balcony, he looked around at the remainder of the room, then from beneath his pillow he brought a package which resembled that of those carried by the Mithrandir when he had travelled to the shire last and drawing his wand from the table beside his bed he prodded it with the end of the wand and threw it into the middle of the room and ducked back under the cover of his bed, Fred and George has assured him that to would waken any person in the same room within five seconds what ever those were, in an incredibly short time there was a loud explosion and sparks of light filled the air. Through a gap in his sheets Aragorn watched as Boromir appeared to levitate above his bed for a short while, gimli started to curse loudly in dwarfish, he looked back at Legolas' tree to find that he was no longer sitting on his branch but hanging from it, this caused Aragorn to start laughing loudly, but luckily for him the sound was drowned out by the firecracker

As Harry made his way into the great hall he noticed first that Legolas had returned and was sitting in at the Gryffindor table as though nothing had happened the night before, although when he sat down he found himself unable to converse with Legolas as the elf's eyes were glazed and his countenance relaxed. He plied Aragorn as to what the elf was doing,

"Nothing much he is merely looking home to our homelands to ensure that our stay here has not resulted in an increase of the darkness in our land" answered Aragorn

"You seem to know much about the elven races of your middle earth…now is this so?" asked Hermione from her place a little further up the table,

"I was raised in the home of a great elven lord, that is how I met with Legolas, I have know him for a long time" said Aragorn

it transpired that the first class for the day was charms this was taught by a hobbit like man who stood upon a pile of books to address the class, they were learning the colour change spell, Boromir surprised all of them when he was the first in the entire class to be able to perform this spell to perfection, although Aragorn was not far behind, by the end of the class most of the students appeared to have been able to successfully cast the charm, Ron appeared to be having a few difficulties with it, not in that he could not cast it but his casting was far from accurate.

Their next class was defence against the dark arts, it seemed that Harry, Ron and Hermione recognised the new professor as soon as they walked through the door,

"Tonks?" they all called in one voice

"yes, I have been requested by the minister for magic to replace Dolores Umbridge until such time as she can be returned to human form" the woman cracked a smile, "I can tell you one thing though, we will not be reading from this boring book that should never have been written none the less published as all it is good for is firewood, even although I am not supposed to believe that you-know-who has returned I still feel that he is not the only evil in this world and you should be prepared for any of them"

This speech was greeted with loud cheers from the students who were to take the class as they all looked excited at the prospect of actually learning some proper defence techniques

Hermione leaned over to whisper to Aragorn, "When are you returning to you homelands?"

"After the midwinter festivals it would appear that we are to travel to Lothlorien, but I know not when the mid winter festivals are held in this world so I can not be sure of the date"

"The mid winter festival of Christmas is in four weeks, we have two weeks left until the school ends for these holidays so we will have six lessons of proper defence against the dark arts"

she was prevented from further comment by Tonks who had once more started to talk, "now seeing as how this class is between sensible houses we will have an inter house battle this lesson, Gryffindor against the Ravenclaws, nothing dangerous you have a short time to prepare your tactics then it will be full out battle until one side is victorious"

As the Ravenclaws made their way to one corner of the room the Gryffindors migrated to the opposite corner.

"So what can anyone suggest?" asked Seamus Finagen as soon as they were all met

As idea flew left right and centre from the wizards Legolas and Aragorn discussed quietly together in elvish.

the ravens plan to attack one on one Legolas told Aragorn

so the wisest course of action for ourselves would be to have all of us in a small band in the middle of the room

with stronger people defending the weaker?

yes

they turned to the rest of the group who it appeared was having a full blown argument, Harry was allowing to run its course as Hermione and Ron verbally ripped each other to shreds.

Aragorn drew his wand and muttered a few words which resulted in Ron and Hermione no longer making any sound, he then turned to the rest of the group

"we will get nowhere it we argue amongst ourselves Legolas has listened to the enemy plans, it would be best to defend from their tactics by staying together in a small knot or circle with two or three people standing in the middle holding a strong shield around the group whilst the rest of the people in their positions will be able to fire curses at the enemy"

This plan was met with approval.

you will make a good king yet mellon nin Legolas murmured to him

the proof of the battle will be in the victory replied Aragorn

Greenleaf's gal- thank you very much

Norah-  I can only really attempt to write crossovers, I have some potc/lotr that I have strted but they are not up for much

Yavie Aelinel- coursework is worse than evil its about Voldermort plus all the dementors in askaban evil, must I remind you again tha patience is a virtue? I up date as quickly as I can I can do not better, thank you for the review

Naurien- if we are up for swopping gruesome medical experience, I had my tonsils removed over the last summer under local anisethic which failed to work, eat loadsa ice cream

Celebwen telcontar- I appologise the word was meant to be shines not sparkle, as 'brightly shines the white city at dawn' thus displaying his love of his people and his country, I did mention I did not know now to spell Meras, what I was trying to imply was that the unicorns were the wizard world evquvalent

A sly fan- I am trying

Pussin boots- sorry I just wanted to get askaban security sorted out, Legolas will fall out of the spot light a bit and let someone else take the centre stage, as for the speed blame Yavie Aelinel, she so pushy, Yavie Aelinel if your reading this I don't mean to be offensive, I sometimes think she'd kill me if I took a long time to update.

Boogalaga- don't worry Legolas' big part is over, he is still almost omnipotent but he is hiding it better now, and no I am afraid to say that the only plot I have is the time at which people travel between worlds, plot ideas are good, hint hint, but I don't think I can manage a romance this is my first fanfic, ideas for pranks are good…

The grinch- I don't really want to embraress Legolas…but I think he will start to cover up his powers a little more, he was just not used to the power when he first came.

I know not much happens in this chapter but please reveiw
