Title: Betrothal of the Elves

A/n: Yay chappy 3! ~~So someone asked me why I made this a Harry Potter crossover and it's because Landion looks like Harry. It's still Harry but with a different name for right now. No one really knows his name is Harry but soon he will be called that, just wait. And there will eventually be back story on how he got to Middle Earth. But know that he is still a wizard. Just changed his name when he became Galadriel's adopted son. Thanks.

Anyways, thanks for waiting and enjoy. :)

Chapter 3

It was the night before we would arrive in Lothlorien and truth be told I was a nervous wreck.

I had no recent memories of Landion. I know that when I was really little we visited Lothlorien and I played with him but that was almost 700 years ago. He probably had no memory of me for he was younger than me at the time. I had no idea what kind of elf he had turned into or whether he would be an ideal elf for me to marry.

All I had was my ada's trust that everything would work out. I pray to the Valar everything works out for the best.

I spotted the beautiful city coming into view and knew we had arrived. I followed the guards into the forest and looked over at my father. He was looking wistfully up at the city.

He had always loved Lorien.

I was stunned out of my haze by someone clearing their throat. I looked at the elf that had coughed and realized it was Haldir. I smiled and got off Arod.

Haldir smiled back at me and reached out his hand but I hugged him instead.

I had not seen him in what felt like a lifetime.

"Mae Govannen, Haldir."

He smiled and bowed his head.

"Mae Govannen, little Greenleaf."

I flushed at the nickname and remounted my horse.

"I have instructions from the lady to bring you to the throne room. Follow me."

We did as was told and followed him to see Galadriel.

Haldir pushed open the door and me and my company followed after Ada.

I laid eyes on Galadriel and beside her was her husband Celeborn.

I didn't see Landion, not that I knew what he actually looked like.

Galadriel rose and greeted us, "A star shines on the hour of our meeting."

We bowed and she continued, "You have grown, Legolas, since the last time I have seen you."

I nodded my head, "Yes, it has been a while, my lady."

She shook her head, "There need not be formalities between us. We are soon to be family."

I nodded once again, albeit awkwardly, and my father stepped into the conversation, "Galadriel, it is lovely to see you."

"Likewise, I think we have made the right choice here," She turned to me, "I will have a guard show you to your chambers while Thranduil and I have a discussion."

I nodded and followed the elf that had come to show me to my chamber.

I walked into my room and laid my belongings down. I sat on the bed and the elf, who had led me here, spoke, "Dinner will be in an hour. I will be here to lead you to the dining hall." And then he left.

I looked around and noticed it was a very nice room.

I laid back on the bed and fiddled with my mother's necklace between my fingers.

I soon drifted off, tired from the journey.

I awoke from my nap and looked out the window. It was sunset which meant it was almost time for dinner.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

I changed into a green tunic and brown leggings and re-did my braids.

I heard a knock at the door and opened the door. It was the elf from earlier so I assumed it was time for dinner.

"It is dinner time, Prince Legolas."

I nodded and followed him out the door and to the dining hall.

He walked through the doors into the dining hall and I spotted an empty seat beside my father and beside Lady Galadriel.

I made my way over to them and Galadriel greeted me, "I'm glad you have made it, little Prince," and motioned for me to sit in the seat beside her.

I sat down and looked around the table. There was Galadriel and Celeborn and an empty seat beside him.

I wondered who that seat was for and thought it was probably for Landion.

Seeing where I was looking Galadriel confirmed my thoughts, "Landion will be here shortly. He is probably making his way from the library this minute."

So he liked books I take it. Well that is one thing we have in common.

I nodded and looked to my father.

He was staring at me, "What?" I asked.

He just smiled, "I cannot wait for you to meet Landion. I have heard from the guards and residents of Lorien that he is a good young elf, handsome too," he winked.

I flushed and the doors to the hall opened once again.

In walked who I assumed was Landion. He was beautiful. I had never seen an elf, or mortal, who compared to his beauty.

He noticed everyone was looking at him and flushed and hastily made his way to his seat.

On impulse I stood from my seat before he sat down. He stared at me in surprise and slowly sat down.

I realized what I had done and flushed and sat down, too.

I caught him staring at me and gave him a little smile.

He quickly looked away and I just smiled fondly.

This was the Landion I had remembered briefly from childhood, the shy and quite elf.

I looked to my father and he was smiling at me, having caught our interaction, I smiled back at him.

Celeborn was whispering to Landion and Landion only nodded at whatever he had told him and glanced at me.

Apparently it was about me then.

I ate my dinner and soon the dining hall cleared all for ada and I and the Lady and Landion.

Galadriel stood, "Why don't you show Legolas to his rooms Landion?"

I looked to Landion and he looked a little nervous, "Okay, mother."

He started walking and motioned for me to follow him.

I caught up to him soon and walked beside him.

"So, Landion, do you remember me from when we were little?"

He looked surprised that I had spoken but nonetheless answered me, "I remember."

His answer was short and I wanted to talk to him more so I said, "That is when I first learnt to use a bow and I was so excited that I gave you a lesson." I smiled in memory of my childhood.

Landion looked like he was in thought and slowly smiled, "I remember that. I was so happy that someone was teaching me because mother said I was too young to learn and refused to let Haldir show me."

I just looked at him. His smile was beautiful.

I must have been staring at him because he looked away and continued walking.

I flushed, having been caught staring at him.

We continued our walk in silence until we got to my chamber door.

"Celeborn has asked me to meet up with you tomorrow so we can get to know each other. So I will come by after breakfast. Goodnight." He bowed and left.

This was going to be difficult trying to crack him. He was really shy and barely talked. Maybe tomorrow would go better.

I still can't believe that I will be marrying him when we barely even know each other.

I guess that will have to change.
