The Fights
The four fished out nine pieces of gold each, piled them onto the counter and fled from the shop, leaving the old man shaking his head slightly. They walked back to the Leaky Cauldron, Aragorn Legolas, and occasionally Tenshi, talking in elfish with Tenshi translating quietly for Gimli and Minerva.
"Aragorn, boe gwennen i tavar?" Legolas asked, indicating to his wand. is it necessary to use the wood? (bare with me, I don't know object or wand or elvish).
Aragorn nodded slowly.
"Caram. Han tir a ae han tan tûr." replied the man we do. It looks as if it makes power.
Tenshi said that they were talking about food and how excited they were to be going to Hogwarts but she telepathically translated to Gimli who began to laugh. She had it touch someone to be able to start a link with them so that's why she 'tripped and fell' by Gimli at the bank. Seeing the frustrated expression on Minerva's face, she silently asked Aragorn to speak in Westron and he complied. Legolas soon picked up the message and switched the topic to magic.
The hanyou sniffed the air, the lingering scent of warm grass and the beach from Aragorn and Legolas's scent of a forest just before it rains, blowing towards her in the wind. The smell of fresh sushi cut through the air along with a shout of annoyance.
"Sam! Come on! We're leaving you," yelled Merry.
Rounding a corner into a back alley, there was a very annoyed Snape standing with Gandalf by a table in the close left corner of the Leaky Cauldron. The two were looking at the hobbits squabbling over a bag of sushi, which Tenshi got with her elemental powers.
A/N : you may be wondering 'how many abilities does this girl have!' so here: element control, smoke leaves and the ability to transform into a fox. The human thing is an illusion that wears down her energy a lot. That's it. A lot I know but oh well.
She slit it open and skewed one on her finger then popped it into her mouth. She gave the bag to Minerva who took one then passed it to Gimli. He grabbed five then thrust the bag at Aragorn who in turn passed it to Gandalf. This continued until the bag reached Snape. There was one left but he took it not and offered it to Tenshi with a sour face. She thanked him, took the bag then munched on the last fish and vegetable roll. Gimli then took the bare package.
"There's no more reason for fighting," said the dwarf, walking over to the four and holding out the empty package.
At once they stopped quarreling and looked at the empty bag in despair. Before they could begin another dispute, Gandalf proposed that they get something to eat. The hungry hobbits settled down rather quickly at a near table. Snape sat to the right of Minerva, who sat beside Frodo. On Frodo's right was Sam and next to him sat Pippin. Beside Pippin was Tenshi then next to her sat the king of Gondor and on his left was the prince of Mirkwood, who Gimli sat alongside. Gandalf sat between Gimli and Snape as food appeared on silver platters before them and everyone dug in.
Tenshi peered round for something that looked edible but saw no fish, rice or vegetables. Instead there was a jiggling, red substance, a golden oblong object, bread like substances and a white mashed thing beside a piece of breaded meat. She soon recognized the bread substance as a muffin and grabbed one at once. She pecked at it as her looked round, noticing that Legolas was poking at the jiggling thing.
"Aragorn, I don't think Legolas is going to eat that. You could offer him a muffin. At least we know it doesn't kill," She said to her brother.
Aragorn nodded, smiling, and turned to his best friend to offer a muffin. Legolas took it hesitantly and smiled.
"This food is so strange, nothing like in Middle-Earth," He remarked.
Beginning to fall into a daze, Tenshi heard a familiar voice echo in her mind, Gimli's voice to be exact.
Are you bored yet?
/No./
Then why am I poking you and you continue to stare at nothing?
/I don't know Master Dwarf./
Blinking, she made an aimless, feeble grab at the dwarf's hand before she jerked back, sensing something amiss. Quickly glancing around, she noticed a blond man sitting by his lonesome on the other side of the room. His grey eyes swept over them before meeting hers then he stood up and vanished with a snapped. Turning back to face the table, Tenshi saw Snape's eyes reverting from the stranger to her.
Minutes seemed like hours for the hanyou until Aragorn grabbed her arm and jerked her out of her trance.
"Tolo. Nâ lû gwanna," He said. Come. It is time to depart.
She nodded as he stood up then she followed. He gave her a mysterious smile and allowed her to proceed as he waited to play his 'prank'. As she moved forwards, he gave her a small shove and she stumbled against Pippin. They fell to the ground in a heap as Pippin gave a shout of surprise. Aragorn looked to the side and pretended that he neither did nor heard nothing.
"Le boe veriad," She growled playfully. "Ú-cerich delu nîn mellon."
She helped her hobbit friend up then lunged at the man. He sidestepped her then dashed to the side of Legolas and fingered the rope round his belt. She came at him again, grinning as she noticed the rope, and pretended that she missed her target. She landed to the left of Aragorn, who used the opportunity to slip the looped rope around her neck then tighten it; Aragorn knew that the little game wouldn't hurt her. Tenshi laughed as her air supply was cut in half and pulled away, which made the rope constrict her neck more. By this time, people in the Leaky Cauldron were looking at the fight.
"Nice trick ranger, but I have to add that my neck is starting to pain a bit. Not too much though," she said.
Aragorn began to answer but Pippin, Frodo and Merry came barreling into him, pushing him into the wall by the fireplace. Unfortunately, he dragged Tenshi along. She hit the wall with a resounding crack that made all who weren't already staring, stare in amazement. Shaking her head and whipping the five with her hair, Tenshi sat up and looked in mock anger at the gang and professors. She met Gandalf's almost accusing gaze then stood up quickly and helped Merry up. His gaze was meaningful and it clearly stated that they should continue this in the castle.
