Nostariel, Lithoniel, and Rania were all put into one dorm along with Hermione and Amanda. They all woke up to a very loud crash and lots of shouting.
The boys.
The three elves were confused on why they would be fighting, but Hermione and Amanda knew all too well and rushed out to make sure the boys didn't kill each other. The elves grabbed their small daggers in case they were needed.
They already found the other five girls in the other room helping the boys hold back Draco, Harry, Ron, Fred, and Blaise. They were still struggling when Nostariel screamed out, "What the HELL!"
The five boys stopped struggling and looked at her. Then Ron sheepishly pointed at Draco and Blaise and mumbled, "They started it."
Rania walked up to him and said, "There is one thing I can't stand and that's people who can't take responsibility of their own actions." She then hit his head hard enough to get her point across, but not hard enough for it to hurt.
Lithoniel then stepped in and said in a stern voice, "Now if someone does not tell me how this whole fight started, what exactly you broke, and how we can resolve this, no one will get hurt. But if you choose not to participate," she reached for her dagger, "We are trained in skills beyond your knowledge and we tend to like to practice." She looked at the five boys still being held back and said, "You may let them go. We are going into the common room to talk about this, our differences, how we can make this better and set a few rules down."
"How come the three freak-elves get to be in charge," said one of the guys, Angelo.
Nostariel walked up to him. "Are you the one with the weapon?"
Angelo eyed her warily. "No."
"Alright then. Get back to me when you do," and turned to follow Lithoniel to the common room.
Lithoniel, Rania, and Nostariel arranged the four couches and chairs in a circle and they all took a seat…the elves standing in the middle of the circle.
Rania started. "Ok, Blaise. What happened?"
"Well," he nervously looked at Draco who gave him a glare and Blaise gave him a look that clearly said, 'they have a WEAPON! And they're crazy ass foreigners!' and looked back at Rania, "Draco started it."
Rania gave a pissed off look. "That is not what I asked." and crept slowly closer to Blaise with the dagger. "Now I suggest you tell me what happened. And fast."
Blaise then said, "Well, me, Draco, Harry, Ron, Fred, and George were all put into one dorm, big mistake if you ask me," Rania deepened her glare and Blaise started off again, "and I woke up to the four Gryffindors and they were talking about what this whole thing might be about. Draco was up and when he saw I was also up and listening he loudly said, 'Well, we know there are some people who really shouldn't be here.' Ron glared at him while Harry said, 'Shut up Ferret Boy.' Draco then smirked and said, 'Oh Potty, I was really talking to your Weasel friends. They couldn't defend themselves if someone told them what was going on.' So that's when Ron, Fred, and George started on Draco…and of course I went to go defend him and Harry did the same thing. So that's basically what happened." Blaise said quickly finishing off his story.
Rania nodded and backed away from him. "Now was that so hard?" she asked Blaise.
Blaise looked at Draco. "It will be later," he muttered under his breath.
Nostariel looked at Blaise with a curious expression on her face. "There's one thing that doesn't make sense…how did the fight wind up outside of your room?"
Blaise looked at her with a look that said 'oh shit' and answered, "I can honestly say I don't know. The last thing I remember is punching Fred before we were pulled away from each other."
Nostariel nodded, knowing he wouldn't lie.
That's when Lithoniel turned to Draco and smacked him really hard across the face. Everyone was dead silent. Draco held his hand at his cheek and his mouth was formed in a silent 'Ow…'
Hermione then spoke up, "Was that fun? I did that to him back in third year…and believe me when I say I thought it was a lot of fun."
Lithoniel looked at her with a glare that softened to a smile and said, "Yea…that was kind of fun." and laughed.
Soon everyone was laughing, even Blaise. Draco glared at each of them. "Well it might be funny for you, but that hurt like a bitch."
Lithoniel looked at him. "Come on laugh at yourself. You can't be that big of a jerk. Besides, maybe I'll make up a few more new traditions later on." and winked at him. He seemed to soften and let out a small laugh…but the moment was over.
Nostariel looked at the humans at that moment.
"How can we make this work? Any suggestions?" Nostariel asked voice full of hope that this meeting would end as well as it was going now.
Sam, one of the Gryffindor girls, then suggested, "How about we all call each other by our first names? It's a start right?" She meant to say it directly at Draco, but it wound up going for everybody.
Rania then laughed. "What, you mean you call each other by your last names? How old are you, like five?"
All the elves laughed while the humans glared at them.
Lithoniel looked at them. "Valar, your serious aren't you? All right, since we have such an issue with names, we'll go around in a circle and introduce ourselves. This'll be our new start. You must act respectfully to each other, and if we catch you not acting appropriately outside of this room, we will tell either Aragorn or Legolas." They didn't seem to get the threat in that, but they knew they would. "Ok, we'll start off with Draco."
He sighed. "My name is Draco…Malfoy."
And it went on from there. They all said there first and last name. When that was all done the elves said their names, since it seemed appropriate.
"Ok," started Nostariel, "I think that's good for now. Lets get changed and go to breakfast. So, I think you should meet us in the Great Hall at 1:45 and we'll look for Aragorn and Legolas around the grounds from there. Just to get ourselves situated for the first day." She looked to her fellow elves for approval, which they nodded and she turned back to them. "Yea, so that's it. Bye."
And with that, they went their separate ways. As Nostariel, Rania, and Lithoniel reached their dorm with Hermione and Amanda, they changed into their clothes (jeans and a t-shirt for the humans, non-formal dresses for the elves) and went downstairs.
They chatted on their way down and went their respective ways to eat. Nostariel, Lithoniel, and Rania walked up to the head table to ask Professor Dumbledore if they would be able to sit next to Aragorn and Legolas that morning. He approved and conjured up three extra chairs next to the two new teachers and the she-elves sat down.
Aragorn gave them a wary look. Nostariel looked at him and shook her head.
"It's too early in the morning to piss you off."
He seemed somewhat relieved by that statement and asked what they wanted.
Lithoniel jumped in on this one, "We wanted to know how it's going to work later. Where are the classes going to be held? Whose teaching what? Who's in whose group, you know that kind of stuff."
So they discussed how they were going to handle that later on and made Aragorn and Legolas aware of the tension between the students and how they were trying to ease it.
"Good, you were doing exactly what you were sent to do. There's also one more thing…." Aragorn trailed off.
Rania gave him a suspicious look. "What is it?"
"You have to start teaching Elfish to your group today. Just for today…ease into. Give them simple phrases and days of the week…something like that. Will you be able to deal with that?" Legolas finished for Aragorn.
Nostariel answered for the rest of the elves, not taking her eyes of Legolas. "Oh, I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out."
Legolas smiled at her, which caused Nostariel to blush slightly and smile softly.
They finished talking and the she-elves walked back up to their room. They had no idea what to do around the massive castle, so they decided to stick with what they knew. They sat on a couch in the common room and stared at the screen. Nostariel asked out-loud, "What is it?"
They suddenly heard a slight noise behind them and quickly turned around. They saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Harry answered Nostariel's question with, "It shows a story through many pictures."
The elves nodded, but didn't really get it. Noticing this, Hermione asked, "Would you like to watch a movie?"
They shrugged and she turned on the TV. The whole time Hermione didn't take her eyes off of the she-elves. The beginning titles showed the name of the movie to be 'Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.' A couple of minutes into it Lithoniel shouted out, "Hey! That's Gandalf!"
The other two elves stared at the screen in amazement.
"How did he get there? He's back in the White City!" exclaimed Nostariel.
Hermione quietly explained, "The realm of Second Earth knows more of your own realm than you might think. I don't know one person who hasn't heard of this story. Tell me if you recognize it."
Harry and Ron didn't get the importance of this very moment, but Hermione did. And she knew that the elves had to be kept a secret, only to be known in Hogwarts.
The elves watched in horror as the story that their world had just finished recovering from played out once more before their eyes. After the movie was over, only showing one third of the journey, they demanded to watch the next one. The time was 1:30 when that one finished, and the elves knew they had to leave their state of shock to go meet the others in the Great Hall. They mumbled a feeble 'see you in a few minutes' and walked the way to the Great Hall in silence. The students gathered in front of them, but they did not make conversation, as they would have.
Quietly they walked out to where they said they would meet Aragorn and Legolas. They knew they couldn't tell them what they had found out.
…Not yet.
