Chapter 10: The War Begins
It was almostone o'clock and Harry, Ron, and Estel just got off Quidditch practice, their first game was the next week, so they were making and had eaten a hurried lunch and were now on their way to meet Legolas by the lake.
They quickly spotted him and made their way towards him. They had asked Hermione if she would like to help but she seemed horrified at the thought of playing pranks on the teachers, even if they would be helped by one.
"So mate do you think he'll have any ideas about what to do," asked Ron as they drew closer to the elf.
"He'll have lots of ideas, Legolas has been looking forward to having his revenge for a while now. Nobody and I mean nobody touches anything of his and gets away with it," said Estel shuddering as he remembered a time when he had put Legolas' bow in a tree. The elf had died all his cloths outrageous colors and put itching powder in his bed in retaliation.
"Estel it's about time you were here," said Legolas as his human friend came closer. "I have a wonderful idea about how to get your brothers back."
"Oh," said the human raising his eyebrows, "and what is this wonderful idea?"
Legolas told them about his idea, everyone thought it was brilliant but Estel, "Legolas I'm disappointed, is that all you could think of," he asked shaking his head. "I thought that all the time you spent in Rivendell would have influenced you a little more."
"It sounds like you have a better idea my friend," replied Legolas.
"Indeed I do Mellon nin," he replied using a friendly business tone.
"Please, do tell," Legolas said in the same tone.
"Well you see we'll use your idea only we will do it like this," he explained his ideas with detail. When he got to the part about sending his brothers to see the house elves Legolas gave him a weird look. Harry, Ron, and Estel then took Legolas and introduced him to Dobby.
When they got out of the kitchen Legolas looked at the three humans in amazement and all he could say is, "your evil you know that? All three of you are just plain evil."
"Yes I know, I just wish that I could have a picture so that the memory could last forever of seeing my brothers like that, not to mention your face when you saw the house elves," said Estel with a dreamy look on his face.
"Well it's too late for you to take a picture of Legolas' reaction but I can ask Colin if we can barrow his camera," said Harry.
"Colin's what," asked Estel and Legolas at the same time.
"You mean you don't have cameras in your world," asked Ron surprised.
"Nope, never heard of it," said Estel looking interested to see what this camera was.
"Well you see a camera is a nifty little thing that lets you take a picture, it's is sorta like an instant drawing," said Harry with a smile on his face.
Estel stopped put a hand on Harry's shoulder, looked him in the eye and said, "Harry, you have no clue how happy you just made me," he then reached up and wiped a pretend tear from his eye.
"Yeah and sense wizard pictures move you will be able to watch the interesting faces I'm sure your brothers will make happen over again, and again," said Ron in a dreamy tone
"You will never realize how happy you just made my entire family, not to mention any elf that have been victim to the twins pranks," said Legolas to Harry and Ron.
"Oh it's our pleasure dear friends," said Harry with a smile and a small bow. "Okay down to business Ron and I will go up to the Gryffindor common room and ask Colin if we can barrow his camera while Legolas and Estel go set up for the first two stages of the prank. After your done Estel I say that you meet us out on the Quidditch pitch and we'll get in some more practice before the game next week,"
"Sounds great," said Estel as he and Legolas quickly made their way to set up.
They put the final touches for the second stage Estel decided that he would go and practice with Harry and Ron. "I'll see you at midnight in the kitchen," said Estel very much looking forward to midnight.
Ron, Harry, and Estel spent the rest of the day flying until dinner, then went upstairs and finished their homework for the weekend. They were discussing some Quidditch plays when the clock stroke twelve and the quietly made their way towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile Legolas was putting the first stage of their prank into play. He quietly tiptoed into the twins room, they had decided to share a room like they did at home, and pored a bucket of sand on the poor unsuspecting twins.
"What they heck are you doing Legolas," shouted Elladan as Legolas ran and dumped a bucket of sand onto Elrohir.
"Putting a new twist on an old prank," said Legolas slyly. He then left the room looking pleased with himself.
The twins being covered in sand were forced to get up and go take baths. They had two showers in their tower so they didn't have to wait to take one, what they didn't realize was what was in their shampoo bottles.
Elrohir who had taken a taken a quick bath so that he could go back to sleep looked up shocked when he heard Legolas laughing.
"What are you laughing at Legolas," he asked looking at his friend as if he had gone insane. "Your little prank wasn't that funny."
"I'll admit that my prank wasn't that funny but it seems as if Estel played a prank of his own," he said between his laughs.
"What are you talking about…" he trailed of as his twin came to see what the commotion was all about.
"Dan, what happened to your hair," he asked laughing himself.
"What did I do what did you do to your hair," his twin stopped laughing and both ran for a mirror and both let out a blood curdling scream when they saw what state their hair was in. Legolas just kept laughing.
Elrohir continued to stare at his once raven hair, which was now hot pink and then his brother's hair, which was now neon green.
Both twins looked at each other and one name came to their heads "Estel," they both said.
"You can't go after your brother now. He is in bed asleep," said Legolas.
"Perfect it will be easier to murder him if he's asleep," said Elladan.
"Now just calm down. He tried the same thing on me a few days ago. Now before you go and kill your brother I suggest you get your hair back to its original color. It turns out that the dye will come out with lemon juice," said Legolas reciting what exactly what Estel told him to say.
"With what," asked Elrohir.
"Lemon juice you can find it in the kitchen," said Legolas coolly. "You just go down the wooden steps that are in the entrance hall. You then go down the passage until you come to a picture of a fruit bowl and you tickle the pear."
"We tickle the what," said Elladan.
"You'll see when you get down there. And as for the lemon juice I suggest you get a lot of it because you are going to need it," said Legolas hiding the smile that was threatening to spread onto his face very well.
It had only taken Legolas a few minutes to convince the twins to go down and get the lemon juice. He quickly took several shortcuts that Estel had shown him earlier to the kitchen and arrived to see Estel, Ron, and Harry sitting around eating.
"I suggest you all hide, they'll be here in a few minutes," said Legolas grinning.
"So it worked," asked Estel looking forward to seeing his brothers.
"It worked very well. I doubt that you will soon forget what your brothers look like," said Legolas his grin growing by the second.
"Ok Dobby, there are two people coming down here right now. When they arrive I want you to make sure that they know that you are house elves," said Harry.
As they all found a hiding place the kitchen opened up and you could hear two elves talking.
"All I am saying Dan is that it is very suspicious that Legolas was so willing to help us," they could all hear Elrohir.
"I know Ro but…what have we here," said Elladan as he spotted they house elves.
Dobby walked up and bowed very low, "Dobby at your service masters what can we house elves can do for you?"
When Dobby spoke those words several things happened at once. The twins' faces dropped in pure horror, Estel, Ron, and Legolas jumped out of their hiding places to see the twins' reaction, and Harry stood up camera up to his eye and said two words, "say cheese."
The twins looked around and their eyes stayed on Legolas and Estel. Legolas was holding his ribs, they were beginning to hurt after all the laughing, and Estel and Ron were leaning on each other to keep upright.
Harry was happily clicking away with the camera taking as many pictures as possible know that it would be excellent black mail material for his two teachers.
The twins both walked over to Estel, who had finally stopped laughing. Elladan grabbed him by the color of his shirts pulled him up to his face. "You think this is funny little brother? Just you wait, you will pay for this," said Elladan with his most threatening voice which sent Estel into another fit of laughter as his brother didn't seem very intimidating with neon green hair.
Elladan let go of Estel and both twins stalked towards the door. They stopped before going out and said, "you will all pay for this." They glared and Harry, who was still taking pictures wondering what he was doing, and left without another word.
They had all finally stopped laughing when they decided it was time to turn in for the night.
"That was priceless," said Ron. "You all really do take this as serious business," he asked turning to Estel and Legolas.
"Oh yes, we do in fact take it as very serious business," said Estel.
"You are all lucky, you don't have to share a room with them," said Legolas who had just thought that at any moment the twins would be able to do anything.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about them yet," said Estel with a mischievous grin.
"What did you do Mellon nin," asked Legolas trying to think of anything else Estel would do after that.
"Oh I just put some slow reacting itching powder that I got from Ron into all their cloths. I think that they will have quite an interesting day tomorrow considering it's magic itching powder and takes twenty-four hours to wear off," said Estel very pleased with himself.
"And I did the same thing to my brothers. I thought that sense we are making the first move in the prank war that it shouldn't be to horrible," said Ron looking just as pleased with himself as Estel.
"I have said it once and I will say it again. You are all very evil. Good night," said Legolas making his way toward the tower he shared with the twins as the three Gryffindors went into their dorm to get some sleep.
