Author's note - Someone asked if Irumi would have any romantic relationships. The one thing I can say is, if it is so, it won't be anyone in LotR cannon of HP. Also. special thanks goes to the reader currently known as Mikol for pointing out that I accidentallyreplaced this chapter with chapter four when I was editing them. It took awhile as this chapter was only on my old computer and it had gone down for the count for awhile. Special thanks also goes to my brother, known on site as Anonymous XII, for getting my computer up and running.
Fireworks, Waterworks
Hermione looked up to see a girl approach them. She had obviously gone to pick up a food tray from the cafeteria and was setting it down to eat. She had yet to notice Hermione, but was paying apt attention to China as she sat down.
"Do you remember anything about a Purple Istari?" Irumi watched as China tried to not choke on her veggie sticks. She was unable to answer, but found Irumi's question to be quite funny.
"The Istari's were five. The white, the grey, the brown and the two blue," Hermione spoke up in her know it all manner. It was then that Irumi noticed her. She stopped and narrowed her eyes at Hermione, not sure what to say.
"This is Hermione Granger," China said, glancing away from Irumi. She obviously didn't want to know how the other would react. The boy with brown hair however did glance up, as if he expected her to blow her top.
"I am not fond of wizards," Irumi said as she began to stick her plastic fork in her food.
"Then why is it you are fascinated by the Istari? Are they not Wizards?" Hermione was quick to see around her response and to come back with a comeback.
"Let me rephrase that. I am not fond of human wizards." Irumi was looking at Hermione now with curiosity and annoyance. She didn't seem surprised when Hermione came out with another response.
"From that statement, I can assume that you aren't human. Elf perhaps?" Hermione watched as the boy with brown hair tugged on Irumi's sleeve. She glanced over at him and he shook his head. She turned back to Hermione with a response, ignoring him obviously. But her response was interrupted by the fact that a girl came up to them.
"Hi! My name is Gigi Haskle. I'm going to go to Hogwarts and marry Draco Malfoy. And then when he dies from defending Harry Potter, I'll find out I'm really an elven princess and I'll also find out I'm betrothed to ..." Gigi suddenly found Irumi right in her face.
"Legolas?" Irumiwas glad to see Gigi cower away. "Do you know how many times I've heard you say that? Too many."
"I'm an elf. Your ... you're a freak." And with that, she spun on her heals and took off to her table.
"I take it see likes blond haired guys with blue eyes?" Hermione said as Irumi sat down. Irumi blinked a couple of times at her. "Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Sure! You are on fair ground," Squeaked the little girl with curly red hair. Irumi glanced at her, still in shock.
"I agree. You stumped Irumi, it is fare enough. Right?" China looked at the boy sitting next to Irumi. He grinned and nodded his head. Irumi saw this and just sighed.
"Fine. Ask away. But please, be quite about it."
"My first question is how is it you can speak English. I thought you all spoke Westron and the other languages?" Hermione watched as the boy tapped his watch.
"My brother means that it is because of time. We learned and adapted."
"Are the two of you twins?" The boy nodded his head. "I thought twins were always boys?"
"And, as you can see with him, that's the result of when they are not both of the same sex."
"Irumi's putting it mildly. Usually both twins die. On rare occasions the male survives. With girls, only one girl usually survives. That's why it isn't heard of very often. They're lucky."
"Sorry for asking such a personal question." Irumilooked like she was about to get angry, but she felt a tug on her sleeve. A big grin stopped her.
"I don't like human wizards." Hermione in turn narrowed her eyes at Irumi
"Why is it your able to go to school with everyone else,"
"That's easy. The Elves elflings, much like us Hobbit children did. Until we reach adulthood, we age like humans."
Irumi was then caught some sound, as did her brother and China. They glanced over to a table where Sariah was speaking to a girl about seven years old with curly hair like Hermione. When Hermione saw this she looked at first confused. It was then that the girl stood up next to her chair. She took a deep breath and began talking.
"Some people are thinking, hey Harry Potter is real. Well, since they seem to have evidence of Harry Potter is real, we, the fans of Lord of the Rings are going to find elves! Death to Harry Potter."
Irumi and her friends looked away, trying to not look inconspicuous. Irumi then saw Irumi looking in the exact opposite direction.
"I don't know her. I am now so glad she never went to Hogwarts!"
"Don't lie! You do know her!" Irumi hissed.
"Irumi, do something! They're starting to look." Irumi and the others heard a yelp as someone grabbed someones hair to see if it was pointed.
"You know that I got in trouble,"
"If Hedgin and Dals were here, they would be up there making a riot to get noticed as Hobbits."
"I think Sariah was counting on that!" China looked at Irumi's brother. "You do something."
This caused him to baulk and look at the floor. China just moaned and covered her eyes. "Why did I get stuck with you guys."
They didn't notice Hermione digging around in her backpack until she pulled out something. It was then her comment to the Hobbit that made them notice. "How good is your throw?"
"What?"
"I know that you're a Hobbit. Hobbit's are good at throwing things. Can you toss this into the drinking fountain without being noticed?" Hermione said, digging threw a few things she had found in a store that resembled Wizard Fire Crackers. She had bought them on the spur of the moment, probabbly from some bloke trying to pick on Muggles. She hadn't wanted to try them until now, but it was likely they really were what she thought they were.
"Of course I can! I am a Hobbit!" She took what Hermione handed her and chucked it at the fountain. And, as soon as it hit, the room erupted with fireworks. Everyone was screaming or ducking at the tables. Someone yelled to pull the fire alarm and someone else to that to heart. At that point, they hurried out of the room. Hermione saw Irumi by her.
"I have respect for you Granger."
"I thought you said that you hated human wizards?"
"Your not male or a dark wizard. You've proven that much,"
Author's note - Irumi walks onto the screen. "Aren't you glad Hermione's sister never went to Hogwarts? I sure am."
"As for those fireworks, I think I'll ask Hermione where to get them. I'll give some to Elrohir and Elladan. Bit NOT before I use them on them AND Gandalf. See you later. The teachers think the building is on fire."
