A/n: sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. Writers block. It's not that great of a chapter so sorry.

Chapter 5: Dungeons and Elves

Aragorn looked at the two humans he had just met he couldn't help but hope that they were as big pranksters as his older brothers but somehow he highly doubted it. Just then the three elves realized that they had company. Still on a little wary of the people around them the elves kept their hands on the hilts of their swords. Aragorn held out his hand and one of the redheaded twins took it. "I am Estel son of Elrond. These are my brothers Elrohir and Elladan, and our companion Legolas Greenleaf." Each of the elves bowed their heads as their human companion introduced them.

"Nice to meet you all," replied the young human. He then turned and started leading them out of the room and down a hallway. "By the way this is our friend Harry Potter," said one of the twins leading them pointing to the young man with black hair.

"You're the one that told us about the phoenix aren't you," asked Aragorn. He could sense that his brothers and friend weren't in any mood to talk. It was probably because they were all in shock at being pulled into a different world and seeing their human companion being threatened.

"You never heard of a Phoenix before," asked Harry.

"Well obviously not if we didn't know that it possessed the ability to heal just by crying," replied Elrohir shortly still feeling incredibly stupid.

"So uh… Dumbledore said that you were from a different world or something like that…so where are you from," asked Harry?

"We are from Arda," said Legolas feeling a little more comfortable now that the ones who had threatened his friend weren't near and that the man seemed to trust these three. Seeing the others confused looks he said, "Middle Earth?" That didn't seem to help at all so he let it drop.

"Never heard of it," replied one of their redheaded guides.

"Of course you never heard of it George it's a different planet you idiot."

"So could you please tell us where we are going," interrupted Elladan.

"Well right now we are taking you to Dumbledores office, then we think he will find you a room down in the dungeons," said Fred. With that all three elves stopped and started walking towards the large doors they had seen a couple of minutes ago pulling Aragorn behind them. "What did I say," asked Fred. He knew that the dungeons were not the best place in the castle but it would have to do until more comfortable accommodations could be found for the guests.

Aragorn saw the confused looks on the three younger humans faces when the elves took of so he pulled out of the elves' grasp and walked back towards them. "I would turn around and run away if I were you," said Harry with a grin. "The dungeons can be frightfully cold."

"They lock children in the dungeon here," asked Elrohir horrified that anyone could do such a thing.

"No," said George sort of understanding what they were afraid of. After all you do lock someone in a dungeon if you are holding them prisoner. "The dungeon is sort of like a basement, I guess you could call it, it is just the level of the castle that is underground." He said hopping that he had put their fears to rest but it would seem not as three of their guests' faces paled (which was saying something considering that they already looked pale). "What's wrong with them," he asked turning towards Estel because he didn't seemed phased about the dungeons.

"Well you see Elves don't do to well underground," replied Aragorn.

"Elves?" All three of the young humans look confused by that statement. "They are elves," asked Harry. Aragorn nodded looking confused as well. "I thought elves were small annoying creatures that laughed a lot with pointy ears," continued the teenager.

At that Aragorn burst into laughter and the three elves took turns glaring at the two offending humans. "Shut up you insufferable human," said Legolas glaring at his friend.

Harry was about to say something thinking that Legolas was talking to him but before he could say anything Aragorn said, "I'm sorry mellon nin, but I just had had a mental picture of you and my brothers as tall as dwarfs laughing hysterically. Odd huh?"

If they weren't confused before, they were now. How could Estel be Elrohir and Elladan's brother when they were elves and he was a human? And they had also thought the same things of elves that Harry had.

"How dare you compare us to dwarfs you filthy human," yelled Elrohir at his younger brother.

"Ah shut it you prissy elves," said Aragorn.

"Uh as interesting as this has been I believe that we are here," said Fred stopping in front of a stone gargoyle. "Harry you should probably get back to the Gryffindor common room." As harry left George turned to the statue and said "gumdrop." With that the gargoyle sprang to life to reveal a staircase and elves made their way upstairs to Dumbledore's office.
