::peeks out from behind bodyguard:: um…hello…im back with a new chappie…please don't hurt me for taking so long!!! ::sob:: I bruise easily, ya no….he he he hope this chappie was worth the wait!!!

Special thanks to Laure for threatening me with bodily harm if I didn't get it out soon!!!

Oh hey if u get a chance check out my new web page…the link is on my profile, thanks!!

Sorry, more notes…um I no u guys probably wanted to see a lot 'elf-butt kicking action' in this chappie but…I started thinking…dangerous, I know…but yeah, would Legolas really have to exert himself that much just to take on the Dursley's? I think not…plus, I don't think it is part of legolas' character to hurt women or kids…no matter how idiotic they may be…so yeah I hope that's ok…just to let u know why in case u were expecting it…but worry down we WILL see some lego action in the future, of that I promise…he just needs a worthy opponent…any suggestions?

Chapter 12

New levels of tension were invented during those few moments directly following the unexpected, and most certainly unwanted, event which had revealed to that dim witted Dursley clan the motives behind Legolas', or shall I say Lego Greenleaf's, seemingly well meaning visit.

In a sudden rush of freckles and messy black hair, the two young wizards who had been standing in the stair well rushed towards the door, hoping beyond all hope that they might take advantage of the Dursley's shock and actually make it out before they regained their senses. Unfortunately, they were quite wrong.

Moving surprisingly quickly for a man of his impressive girth, as Ron would later recall when this instance seemed as nothing more than an entertaining story to tell over the dinner table, Vernon dashed to the doorway, slamming the door with a resounding boom while Petunia flinched at the tinkling sound of breaking glass as the decorative panels in her lovely door smashed to bits.

Legolas noted with humor the snarling expression on the red, beefy face of Vernon Dursley. 'And this without trying. Really, it is quite unfortunate that there isn't a movie being made. This man would make an excellent troll…or perhaps a balrog…'

Harry, who was sure the vein popping out of his uncle's forehead could easily be measured at a full inch by that time, glanced quickly at Legolas only to find the elf standing with his arms crossed in the middle of the foyer with the most curious expression on his face. Why, it almost looked as if the elf found this situation to be humorous; the reason for this being that Legolas actually did find the situation humorous. Of course, the ancient warrior prince would have much preferred to leave with both Harry and Ron in tow without arousing suspicion. However, though the trio had indeed been found out, Legolas harbored no doubts that they would still escape, unlike his two incredibly nervous companions. The situation had simply become more involved.

It seemed that Vernon, who had up to this point been so utterly bewildered that he was at a complete loss for words, had finally calmed down enough that his mouth was functioning properly.

"Whaat.." began Vernon slowly, his many fleshy chins quivering in anger, "do you all think you are doing?"

The teenage boys backed up as Vernon began to inch forward, his hands raising as though he planned to lunge at any given moment.

"You thought you could get away so easily, eh?" continued Vernon, a mad gleam in his eye as he continued to advance upon the young men before him. "HA! I think not," spat out the fat man with a snarl " You won't get away so easily. Oooooh No!!"

Once again proving that the heavy set group is not necessarily lacking in agility, Vernon jumped at Harry, seeming to forget that Ron was there, so disturbingly intense was his focus on his wife's nephew.

If Vernon had hoped to feel with great satisfaction the scrawny neck of young Harry between his large meaty hands, he was sincerely disappointed. In fact he was surprised to find himself backed against a wall, his feet actually dangling a few feet in the air, his entire weight held up by the slim young man he had of course assumed to be an acquaintance of his nephew.

Yet even more surprising than finding himself thusly indisposed was the change in this Leo Greenleaf. He had of course previously noted that there was simply something…off…about the young man, but it was as if he were a being transformed. Where his skin had seemed to shine when they had first met, the man now emitted a vibrant glow, though he could not certainly say this light was exactly drawn from his skin. No, for some inexplicable reason Vernon could tell it came from a place far deeper than that; it was as if his soul was far too bright, too vibrant to be fully contained in a physical form and was literally bursting out of the seams.

And still, his mysterious glow was hardly the chief of Vernon's fears, for the instant the man made contact with the other's eyes, he knew without question that this…being…was not your average human. It pained him, thick headed as he was, to look directly into the fathomless shimmering depths of Legolas' silver blue orbs. Anyone could tell that these were indeed beautiful eyes, of the utmost perfect shape and coloring, yet Vernon could not admire these eyes as they instilled in him a fear so intense and cold that it shook him to the very core of his being. Yet try as he might, he could not look away. As a moth to the burning flame, Vernon was drawn into them. Sweat began to pour and he was visibly quaking, much to the amazement and utter confusion of his wife and son, who were both watching this event take place from a safe distance in the next room.

"What…" cried Vernon, tears actually falling from his beady eyes as he attempted to control this odd fear welling within him at an alarming speed, "What are you?!"

Legolas simply flashed a saucy grin and, gathering his strength (Dursley was even heavier than he looked, if one can believe that), the elf threw the man into a nearby corner.

"What am I, you ask," said Legolas, a cold smile adorned on his face as he crouched beside Vernon, who yet lay crumpled in the corner like a helpless rag-doll.

"I am a horrible nightmare to a man like you, Vernon Dursley," spat Legolas, all pretenses of friendliness dropped. Turning to gesture at the young wizards who were looking on with awe and admiration at this amazing revelation of their friend's strength, Legolas said "You consider wizards like Harry Potter and Ron Weasly to be the lowest form of life possible, do you not?"

Vernon watched with wide eyes, sweat continuing to drip down the rolls on his neck, as this person paused and watched him. Was he supposed to answer…

"Answer me," stated Legolas stoically.

Very well then. Vernon, though nearly as big an idiot as his son, was not so stupid as to fail to realize that answering that question in the affirmative would very likely be detrimental to his health, to phrase it lightly, however pride and stubborn-headed behavior were two qualities Vernon prided himself for owning and he had begun to have enough of this man's, or, ugh, wizard as it appeared he might be, heavy handed behavior.

"Yes," hissed Vernon through clenched teeth, his heart beating rapidly, "Those freaks are without a doubt the very scum of the earth."

Legolas smiled once more, closing the gap between himself and his prey with every passing moment, "By what then, do you suppose, would you refer to one such as I? For you see, dear Mr. Dursley, I am not even remotely human."

Vernon could not say a word as he looked on with horror, wishing with all his might that this were some horrible dream, that Petunia would soon be calling to him to tell him that his breakfast was being cooked and that it was time to get ready for another day. Yet it was so horribly real…from the unnatural glow of his skin to the unnervingly infinite silver spheres that were his eyes.

It almost appeared that this creature's unnatural qualities intensified as he said proudly, "I am an elf of the ancient world, now unknown to all mortals who dwell upon this earth. Does that idea disturb you, Vernon Dursley?"

"monster…" whispered Vernon in a small voice after several very long, and quite gratifying from Legolas' point of view, moments of painfully intense silence.

"monster…" he said again, and began repeating it in increasingly louder volumes until he was nearly screaming the word. "monster, monster MONSTER!!"

As his volume raised, so did he, until he was standing in front of the creature. So enraged was he at the fact that this…thing…would dare come into his home, infect his air with his nasty abnormalities, expose his family to the oddity that he was, obviously casting some wicked spell over his innocent wife, that he pulled back his arm and swung at the being with all his might.

Now it should be noted that Vernon had been a boxer in the days of his youth, and while those days were now long forgotten, he would probably have still been quite an effective fighter…if, that is, his opponent had not been of elf-kind.

As it was, Legolas merely grabbed the man's wrist as it came flying at him and, clenching it in a viselike grip, said "Now really, was that a smart move?"

Legolas suddenly released the Vernon's wrist and leapt smoothly to the right just as Dudley hurtled himself directly into his father. Had Dudley known exactly who he had been attempting to attack, he would never have even thought of taking such action, but as it was he had been spending the past few minutes with his head tucked safely under a sofa cushion. He would have like to hide his entire body in the sofa but his head was all that fit and even that was a squeeze.

"Duddy-kins!!" screeched Petunia as she flew from the adjacent room and jumped on Legolas' back, attempting to claw at his hair and face.

Sighing and shaking his head despondently, the woman still clinging to his back, Legolas looked at Harry and said "Did you really live with these people all of your life?"

"Yes, unfortunately," said Harry, who, along with Ron, was still considering whether he should give into the feelings of awe at this elf, or fall on the ground shaking with uncontrollable laughter.

"How very sad. Really, we have already spent far too much time here. It was meant to be a quick maneuver. So, if you will excuse me."

Grabbing one of Petunia's shoulder's he yanked her off of his back and slung her over his shoulder, depositing her on the floor beside her husband and son.

"Truly my dearest Petunia, I hope this will not be a problem for us. I do not know how I should survive without your beauty in my life."

Obviously forgetting that she had just been flung to the floor by this elf, Petunia melted into a sickeningly sweet smile and said naught a word.

"Well Harry, Ron, let us be off. Do not forget the trunk young wizards, I should say you will need its contents. Fair well Dursley family. It has been…entertaining for me. I hope you can say the same."

Two glares and one simpering look of adoration watched the trio as they gathered their belongings and made their way out of the house.

"Are we just going to let them go, dad?"

"PETUNIA!!!" roared Vernon, "Alert the police!!! There's a madman on the loose!! Where's my pistol?!!"

Meanwhile Ron and Harry followed the elf as they made their way through the neighborhood as inconspicuously as possible for an elf and two wizards carrying a large trunk.

"Legolas, my uncle will hardly let us go without more of a fight."

Legolas turned to his young friends and, with a cheeky grin, said "Of course Harry. I'm counting on that."
