Cat Phobia

Legolas' mind had not registered what had happened to him other then what he first experienced was a bunch of bright lights and his whole body aching. His mind was foggy and his body felt heavy, not to mention aqward. His mind also couldn't place why he felt this way.

The next thing he remembered was a heavy weight on his chest, pressing down and a rumbling coming from it. This brought him to open his eyes, to which he had to blink them to adjust them. When they finally adjusted, he saw what was on his chest and his breath came hard. Then, he yelled… as well as he could as his voice wasn't exactly strong yet.

He then heard the footsteps of someone coming to see him. He thought that it was only two at first, but into his view came not just two Edain, but also two child sized Eldar… in fact, they were children, and oddly familiar. The female poked the skinny animal that was on his chest. "Hello kitty… would you like some fishies? Your rather thin. Doesn't the kitty Ai?"

"Irumi! That's Mrs. Norris!" the girl with bushy hair pushed the cat away, rather nervous about it.

"Lekoi," Ai commented as Legolas sat up and hugged him.

"I know where I know you two from… my dreams…" Legolas commented. "But you were the size of three year old Edain then…"

"It's been over a thousand years since you died," Irumi commented.

Legolas held out his hands. "Yes… the burning at the…"

"Is something the matter dear?" a bustly woman asked.

"How do I explain this," Legolas said closing his eyes and allowing his hands to collapse to his sides. "I am the size of an Elfling…"

"All of the Fellowship is back now… all children sized…" the female elfling imputed.

"I don't think I want to ask why…" he glanced around. "Where exactly am I?"

"Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and Wizardry," the bushy haired one spoke.

"So they finally have a safe place," Legolas sighed.

"Do you want to see Grandada?" Irumi asked him.

"Grandada… you confuse me Elfling… who do you speak of," Legolas commented.

"Lord Oropher…" the bushy haired girl stated.

"Grandada sailed away when he wasn't happy with certain things and went to Anwe."

"That makes the two of you and me possibly related… if you two are related?" Legolas asked.

"Ai is my twin," Irumi nodded her head.

"Not possible… even I know that twins when born… only the male ones survive…" Legolas commented.

"Things have come a long way," Hermione sighed. "Muggle Edain have very good things to help with children when they are born to help them live."

"I see…" the Elf commented. "Yes… I would like to leave this place."

"Well, here is a tunic for you… from the old stash from long ago… come, let him change," the old woman bustled them away.

Legolas closed his eyes and frowned. He then got dressed aqwardly, not able to get rid of the smoky smell when he removed the over sized habit that he had been wearing. He knew that the two Elflings hadn't lied to him and he knew he had to go somewhere. And if they had made that comment about the rest of the Fellowship, they might have some way of getting back to normal… but he didn't think anything would really be normal.

He then made to stand and found himself falling to the ground, knocking a metal something or another to the ground. The next thing he knew, an Elfling closer to his size came and helped him up. "I knew they would find trouble."

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" Legolas muttered.

"If your anything like Elrohir and Elrodan… that isn't a good thing," One the way down to the ferry place the children told him about this boy helped him even though he didn't know his name. When they got their he saw a Dwarf with two blue streaks in his beard.

"What is a Dwarf doing painting him beird?" Legolas muttered.

"Your behind the times," the Dwarf laughed. "You were wishing to get home before sunset?"

"Yeah… but it is dark now," Hermione muttered.

"Don't worry… that shadow you saw in the mist… it is a friend and will help us to get back in time… though it won't show itself," the Dwarf laughed. "Let us take off now!"

Author's note – Legolas speaks up. "Yes… I am back now… though the author decided to really torture me. A big influence was the Brother Cadfile book series. Also, the title originally got named what it was because it was supposed to be about finding me, Ai and Irumi's hero. But then a few other hero's ended up emerging in this fanfic, though some aren't really noticeable. Oh… and the shadow is not owned by the author… it is from yet another fandom… but that is a secret. See you next chapter. Oh, and yes the author decided to give me a phobia of cats... for humor purposes..."
