When Aliya woke up the next morning all that was on her mind was going to speak with Dumbledore.

She quickly got dressed, ate breakfast then headed straight to Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon drop." Aliya said.

She waited and the eagle slowly turned and she stepped onto the staircase as it went up.

Once Aliya reached the top she knocked softly on Dumbledore's door.

"Come in." Dumbledore's voice called.

Aliya entered the room and Dumbledore looked at her with mild surprise.

"Where have you been?" Dumbledore asked.

"Long story." Aliya responded.

"Well luckily we have time." Dumbledore said, smiling.

"I got transported to another world somehow when I was looking for a pixie in the forbidden forest." Aliya said.

Dumbledore nodded.

"I see. Now, what is it you need?"

"I was wondering if I would be able to go home and see my parents. I wanted to leave Monday morning."

"Of course. Come up to my office Monday morning and you will be taken home."

Aliya thanked him then started her journey back to the gryffindor tower.

Once she returned she found Harry, Ron and Hermione sitting around the fireplace talking.

"Ah we were just talking about you." Hermione said, looking at Aliya.

"Were you now." Aliya said walking over and sitting down with them.

"Yes. We were wondering if you wanted to join us in the room of requirement for some dueling." Hermione said.

"To see if you are still good." Ron chimed in.

"That sounds like fun. Why not." Aliya said, standing up.

They all started out and headed for the room of requirement.

Their walk was once again mostly quiet as they walked down the halls hence it still being early in the morning.

Soon enough they reached the room of requirement. They all thought about what they desired most and then entered.

The room looked the same as it did for all of the DA meetings.

"Alright. Who wants to duel who?" Ron asked.

"I'll start off with Aliya so you and Harry can duel." Hermione said, pulling out her wand.

Aliya pulled out her wand as well then they both lined up.

"On the count of three. One…two.. three!" Hermione shouted. "Expelliarmus!"

"Reducto!" Aliya shouted.

Hermione's spell backfired off of Aliya's and disarmed herself.

"Looks like I still got it." Aliya said proudly.

"Yeah." Hermione said, picking her wand up.

"Can we switch? I'm sick of losing." Ron complained then minuets later.

"Fine. Harry you can duel Aliya. Ron you can duel me." Hermione said, walking over to where Ron was.

"You're going down." Aliya said, raising her wand towards Harry.

"You wish." Harry said. "Expelliarmus!"

Aliya attempted to cast a spell but was too late. Her wand flew out of her hand towards Harry.

"Beginners luck." Aliya said, taking her wand back from Harry.

"Yeah we'll see about that." Harry said determinedly.

"Everte statum!"

"Expell-" Harry started when he got hit by Aliya's spell and thrown across the room.

"See?" Aliya joked.

Harry rolled his eyes as he stood up.

Together the four of them spent the rest of the day together, hardly leaving each other's side.

At the end of the day they all headed back up to the common room and went off to bed.

Aliya laid on her side looking out the window. She sighed happily. She was so happy to be back.

Legolas POV

Legolas walked swiftly through the halls, guards following. He walked up to large palace doors and pushed them open heading outside with everyone else.

It was already dark out. No stars could be seen.

Legolas stopped in a clearing then looked at everyone else.

"Elros. I want you, Esteliel and Dílloth so go patrol the east side. Feren, Lichion and Estelien you can patrol the west side and Tauriel, you and me will patrol the south." Legolas said.

Then they all went in their directed directions.

Legolas climbed up a tree and walked gracefully along the tree branches listening and scanning the surrounding.

Everything was silent. The only sound that could be heard were crickets and the wind. A cool night breeze blew through the trees.

Legolas found his mind wandering back to Aliya. He quickly started thinking about something else. Thinking about her only made his heart ache.

Maybe it would have been best if we just didn't meet. Then at least I wouldn't have to suffer the thought of her never returning. Legolas thought sadly.

The truth was that he missed her more than he would care to admit. He wished she would have stayed but he was glad she was finally happy.

Just then Legolas heard a rustling in the bushes below. He quickly turned and scanned the forest floor. Only a small deer could be seen.

Once everyone had patrolled their section they all headed back to the halls.

Legolas bid his goodnight to everyone then started down to his room for the night.

I hope you like it so far. Don't worry it will get better. ;)
