Aliya POV
When Aliya woke up the next morning she looked around confused, remembering what happened and why she was there, she got out of bed and got dressed into her dress from Lothlorien which was where she had left it.
Then she opened her trunk, pulled out two cat bowls. Then Aliya set one bowl down and walked into the bathroom with the other one and filled it up with nice cool water. Lastly she pulled out a food bag and filled up the other bowl.
Once seeing that Mittens was eating Aliya sat down on the bed and started braiding her hair. Ginny and Hermione helped her learn while at Hogwarts.
Once Aliya had finished her hair she headed out of the room and walked down the hall when she realized she had no idea where she was going.
Aliya looked down at the floor trying to remember where the great hall was when she ran into something that felt like a giant stone wall. Aliya almost fell when whatever she hit caught her and stood her upright again.
Aliya looked up at who she hit and she felt her face go pale or red she didn't really know. She found herself looking up at the king. His cold blue eyes piercing right through her.
"Is this going to be a new habit that I will have to avoid?" Thranduil asked, showing no emotion at all.
"N-no." Aliya stuttered.
Thranduil gave a disapproving frown.
"It's a good thing you," Thranduil thought for the right words, "found me."
Aliya looked at him nervously.
"Come with me." Thranduil said, starting down the hall.
Aliya followed nervously behind.
Soon they arrived at Thranduil's room. Thranduil opened the door and Aliya slowly entered, Thranduil followed, shutting the door behind.
"I see you have returned." Thranduil said.
Aliya opened her mouth to tell him why but he cut her off.
"No need to tell me. Legolas told me everything when he came to talk to me about something this morning." Thranduil said.
Aliya looked down at the ground. She heard Thranduil give a frustrated sigh.
"Why do you fear me?" Thranduil asked, showing no emotion.
Aliya hesitated before saying, "Because you are king."
"Because I am king." Thranduil repeated. "Most people fear me yet they don't stare at the ground. Besides, Legolas is prince and you don't stare at the ground when he speaks to you. Let alone fear him."
Aliya heard the frustration in the king's voice and looked up at him. She focused her eyesight on his hairline instead of looking at him in the eyes though.
"Now. You're probably wondering why I brought you here." Thranduil said, circling her.
Aliya gave a small nod.
"I want to know more about you. Usually I don't need to know much about people because I tend to not care, but I want to know more about you."
Aliya became confused but pushed her confusion to the side as the king started speaking again.
"Sit." Thranduil said, motioning to the couch.
"Because I am king." Thranduil repeated. "Most people fear me yet they don't stare at the ground. Besides, Legolas is prince and you don't stare at the ground when he speaks to you. Let alone fear him."
Aliya heard the frustration in the king's voice and looked up at him. She focused her eyesight on his hairline instead of looking at him in the eyes though.
"Now. You're probably wondering why I brought you here." Thranduil said, circling her.
Aliya gave a small nod.
"I want to know more about you. Usually I don't need to know much about people because I tend to not care, but I want to know more about you."
Aliya became confused but pushed her confusion to the side as the king started speaking again.
"Sit." Thranduil said, motioning to the couch.
Aliya took a deep breath and sighed happily.
Once she finished her apple she hopped down from the branch she was sitting on and walked through the garden when she remembered the words Thranduil had said, "Is this going to be a new habit that I will have to avoid?" It was true. Somehow she had a habit of running into people. Literally.
Aliya turned a corner and a group of elleths ran past her. Aliya simply shrugged and kept walking until something caught her eye. She stopped and looked up into the trees where she had noticed it. She watched as the figure jumped down from the tree, it was Legolas. He looked around cautiously.
"What were you doing up there?" Aliya asked, picking a leaf out of his hair.
"Hiding."
"From who?"
Legolas did a head motion towards where the elleths had run away.
"Fans or something like that."
"Do they only bug you or is it your father too?"
"Me and my father."
"Who has it worse?"
"Me. But my father will have it worse than me soon."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
Together Legolas and Aliya walked through the garden then they headed down to Aliya's room.
Once they got there Aliya walked over to the foot of her bed and opened her trunk. She could hear the sound of a little bell ringing and out of the corner of her eye saw Mittens run past her.
"You have a cat?" Legolas asked.
Aliya looked over at him and couldn't help but smile. Legolas was sitting one the bed with Mittens on his lap batting at his hair.
"What's her name?" Legolas asked, attempting to move his hair only to get swatted at.
"Mittens." Aliya said, laughing when she saw Mittens look around to see who said her name.
Aliya turned her attention back to her trunk and pulled out the picture from Fred and George.
"Those your friends?" Legolas asked walking over.
"Yes." Aliya said, "That's Fred, George, Ginny and Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter."
"And these are your parents?" Legolas asked, picking up a picture of Aliya and her parents.
Aliya nodded and Legolas put an arm around her sensing her sadness.
"It will be alright." Legolas said.
"I know. They will always be with me. No matter where I am." Aliya said.
"Aww how touching."
Aliya and Legolas whirled around and Aliya's eyes widened with complete shock along with Legolas. There standing right in front of them was none other than Elrohir, Elladan and Fred and George Weasley.
"Fred? George? What are you doing here? How are you here??" Aliya asked quickly.
"Elrohir! Elladan! What are you doing here?" Legolas asked smiling, "And how did you know where I was?"
Elrohir, Elladan, Fred and George exchanged looks before saying, "We have our ways."
