Chapter One
"Adar?" came a timid response from behind Ron.
"Esta tinuamin? Hermione?" Came the Elf's reply. "Is that you? Lower your weapons!"
Hesitantly the elves with drew their bows and arrows, the dwarves pulled back their axes and the two men returned their swords to their hilts.
"Mione, what's going on? Do you know these people?" Harry asked, as he and the others pocketed their wands. Hermione didn't answer. She kept staring at the ring at the alter in front of Elrond.
"This is why you didn't want me to return? Because Sauron had started regaining power?" Hermione asked looking at Elrond.
He couldn't answer, it was true but he couldn't admit it to his youngest daughter. Gandalf stood up. "Hermione, it is good to see you. But you have to understand we did this for your own good. You were safer at Hogwarts."
"Safer? My own good?! I'd have rather been here, helping. I am no longer of use in their world," Hermione told him, while indicating to her five friends.
"I understand..." Began Gandalf.
"Do you? Do you have any idea what it's like to be in a strange world? To be separated from your family? From you loved ones?" She shouted at the elder man. He shook his head. "No, I didn't think so."
It was quiet for long time. Hermione looked around at those assembled. She saw the elves of Mirkwood and she smiled politely at them. Next to them sat a group of dwarves, who gave her looks that spoke of their distrust for the new group who had magically arrived. Then came two humans. One a stranger to her eyes, but the other an old friend. She smiled at him, and he nodded as he acknowledged it.
"Erm... Hermione what's going on? Who are they?" Ginny asked interrupting the silence. "And what was that word you used?" Luna added.
"Yes. My family and friends. Father," Hermione answered. They were short and sweet, but left room for more questions that she knew were coming.
"Father?" Came a chorus of five voices. She nodded.
Hermione lowered her eyes. Elrond noticing her discomfort ordered that Frodo keep the Ring safe until tomorrow, when the Council would meet again. After everyone (except Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, Draco, Elrond, Gandalf and Aragorn) had left, Hermione sat down on one the empty chairs.
"So, what do you want to know?" She asked her friends. "Well..." Started Draco before he was interrupted by the blonde elf returning.
"Lord Elrond. Lady Arwen wants to know why we have dismissed so early. Shall I let her enter?" Elrond nodded.
He left but returned a few minutes later with a female elf that looked a lot like the male one in front of them. He bowed and turned to leave but Hermione asked, "stay with us Legolas. It is good to see so many familiar faces."
He sat down. "It is good to see you again after so long, Lady Hermione," Legolas told her as he kissed her hand. She smiled at him, her first true smile in weeks. This caused Draco to scowl at them.
"I hate to break up the touching reunion," said Draco, sarcastically. "But what did you mean when you said 'my family and friends'? I thought that your parents were muggle dentists and aren't they, well, dead?" This was true Hermione's 'parents' were indeed dead, killed by Deatheaters just after the war.
"The Grangers were never her real parents. They were childless couple we asked to take care of Hermione, until she had helped you defeat Voldermort," Elrond told them.
"Okay, I still don't get how you are Mione's dad. You're an elf aren't you?" Ginny asked. "Yes, I am. So is Hermione. Gandalf if you can, will you remove the spell that was placed on my daughter?" Gandalf nodded, picked up his staff and whispered a few words. A bright light hit Hermione, and after it had faded Hermione had pointed Elven ears, her hair was darker than before and she looked older, at least as though she was in her mid-twenties.
"Hermione? Wow. You look older," Ron said. Ginny and Luna nodded in agreement.
"Well, being 2022 years old, I would," Hermione, replied off-handily. She looked at their startled looks.
"Elves are immortal. We age, but our appearance doesn't. We can only be killed during battle, from grief or by forsaking our immortal lives for that of a mortal," Hermione explained. She then went on to explain the different species that inhabited Middle-Earth, Elves, hobbits, Ents, Maiar, Dwarves, men, and orcs. Then she told the tale of the Ring and its power. "Well, what else do want to know?"
"What else is there to know?"
"I'll start at the beginning of my life. I was born on the 19th September, during the Third Age of Middle-Earth. My Mother was the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn Lord and Lady of Lothlorien. Lord Elrond is my father and ruler of Rivendale. Arwen is my older sister. Aragorn a ranger from the North and Prince Legolas of Mirkwood are both old friends of mine.
I came to your world about 18 years ago, around when Lily and James got married and had you Harry. I was sent to help protect you from Voldermort. When I learnt you had been accepted to Hogwarts I got in contact with Dumbledore and told him of my task, he accepted me into the school and cast a glamour spell upon me."
"But why were you sent? I mean around here it appears as though males are still in charge of the women," Draco asked.
"Most are. But you occasionally get a headstrong woman who prefers to fight and read to learning how to sow and raise children. I was such a woman. Adar realized this and thought my skills would be better served helping the wizarding world." Hermione told him. "I think that's everything. If you don't mind I'm going to go for a walk, alone. Adar could you find somewhere for my friends to sleep?"
He nodded in agreement. She gets up and is followed by Arwen, Aragorn and Legolas. "I thought you said alone?" Draco asked still scowling at the blonde elf.
"These are my oldest friends and one is my kin. I have much to catch up on."
The four of them walk off leaving Elrond and Gandalf with the confused and tired humans. "Follow me," Elrond ordered.

Hermione and her friends spoke late into the night. She learnt of Arwen's decision to give up her immortality and bind herself to Aragorn. She learnt of how Bilbo Baggins (a hobbit she knew well) had been in possession of the Ring for years and how Sauron was regaining power. After she discussed parts of her own adventure, she felt it was time to get some sleep.
"Let me escort you to your chambers," Legolas said. Hermione quickly replied that it would be fine if he did so. She had been waiting to speak to him alone since she got back.
"Legolas. I've missed you most of all," Hermione told him. "I've missed our talks, and our fighting lessons."
"Is that all?" Legolas asked sadly. "No!" Hermione replied hurriedly. "I also missed not waking up next to you, being able to touch you and not being able to do this."
She placed her hands behind his neck and lowered his head to hers. She tilted her head to the side as Legolas' lips met hers. The kiss was full of passion that had built up in the last 18 years. He pulled her closer as he deepened the kiss, letting his tongue slide into her mouth, where they both battled for dominance. After several minutes they broke apart gasping for air.
"It has been too long, melamin," Legolas whispered in ear. "Uma, Heruamin," she replied.
When they reached the door to her room he whispered, "Mar lor, an'híril."
"Will you stay with me tonight?" she asked. "I would love nothing more than do so Mya, but I think it best you sleep alone. It's been a long day, you need to rest." Legolas told her, and with a final kiss he departed to his own room.
'It has been a long day. I am finally home. And with the one I love.' Hermione mused before climbing into her bed, where sleep quickly claimed her.
