This is the first new chapter. The others were just ones I reposted from where it got deleted.
A/N: Just to clear things up once more for the persistent reviewers: It is Harry. If you would just wait then you would find that out. I said he is still Harry but how can he act exactly like Harry when he wasn't raised in the same circumstances as the actual Harry? The Harry in my story didn't have relatives who hated him nor the weight of the wizarding world on his shoulders so obviously he will not act accordingly. He does look like Harry as a matter of fact.. I think I would know, hence it is my story. He has the same features but longer hair.. as elves do. So yes this is a Harry/Legolas story. Also if you would wait long enough then "Landion" will start going by Harry. Now please stop. I already had this deleted once because of ignorant reviewers. - And onto other matters, I wrote this chapter and then my laptop crashed and nothing saved so yay for me I had to write it again. I admit it was much better the first time but I couldn't remember everything.
Chapter 9

A couple weeks later I had thought of the best birthday present for Landion. After weeks of deliberation and fretting I now knew what to give him.
I was on my way to ask my father for the gift and I hoped he would say yes.
I knocked on his door and waited for his say to come in.
"It's Legolas."
"Yes, yes, come in," I heard my father call.
I opened the door to his room and entered.
I spotted him standing by the window, looking out to the trees and skyline.
"Father, I have something to ask of you."
He turned to me then and said, "Go ahead, son."
"I'm sure you know of Landion's birthday approaching and his party will be tonight. I have thought of the perfect gift but it belongs to you. I am here to ask if I may have it to give to Landion."
My father looked me in the eye, "Well what is it?"
"The necklace of Girion."
My father's expression turned torn, "I do not know if that is a good idea."
"But ada it will be perfect for him and it is of no use to you! After all it was a mere gift to you as well."
"Yes, but it was a mighty gift and I do not know if I wish to part with it as of yet."
I put on my best begging face and asked one more time, "Please father let me have it! I haven't been able to think of any other gift that would be as of perfect than the necklace. Please."
He sighed, "Fine. If it is that important that you give it to Landion, then so be it."
I smiled widely and gathered my father in an embrace, "Thank you ada!"
He turned to get the necklace and then he handed it to me.
"It's beautiful. Landion will love it." I whispered.
My father smiled, "I hope so. Now go prepare for the party."
"Thank you once again, ada. I love you."
"I love you too, Greenleaf."

I headed back to my room to get ready for the party and to wrap the gift.
I spotted Landion and quickly changed direction so he wouldn't see me or the gift. He headed towards me despite my efforts. I put my hand, that had the gift, behind my back.
"Hello, Legolas." He said with a smile.
"Hello, Landion. What did you want from me?"
"I was trying to get away from all the party commotion and find some peace and quiet. I thought you might want to go somewhere to talk."
I scratched the back of neck, nervously, "Ehh, I would love to but I'm actually busy right now. Maybe we can go somewhere after the party?"
He looked put off but agreed nonetheless.
I said goodbye and headed towards my room, once again.

I closed my door with a sigh, "Shew, that was a close one," I muttered.
I placed the necklace under my pillow and decided to choose my attire for the party.
I chose some black leggings and a blue tunic. I braided my hair normally and put on a silver robe.
Once that was done, I picked the present back up. I needed to wrap it. I put the gift under my pillow and went outside to retrieve some leaves.
I quickly found some nice leaves and went back to my room. Thankfully I didn't see Landion again.
I wrapped the necklace in the leaves and got some parchment to write a note.
The note said:
Landion,
I hope you like my gift. It is called the Necklace of Girion. It was my fathers and he loved it so I knew it would be right for you. I'm sorry I couldn't spend time with you earlier so we can go somewhere after your party. I hope you have the best birthday ever. May the Valar bless you.
-Legolas
I tucked the note into the leaves and headed towards the door when I heard a knock.
It was an elf I've never seen before, "Prince Landion's party is about to start. Please come with me to the dining hall."
I grabbed the gift and followed the elf. I put it into my pocket and walked into the hall.
It looked beautiful. It had been decorated just for the party. There were golden leaves hanging everywhere and different flowers on every table.
I saw my father and went over to him.
"Hello, Father."
He turned towards me, "Hello, Legolas. I'm glad you are here. The party is about to start, we are just waiting on Landion to get here."
I nodded, "I just hope he likes my gift."
"He will, son. Gifts are not about the value but about the thought. I'm sure he will love the necklace, and if he doesn't well I would gladly take it back." He said with a chuckle.
I laughed with him, "I'm sure you would."
"Speaking of Landion, he is finally here." He pointed towards the door and I followed his gaze.
I gasped when I saw him. He looked breathtaking.
He was wearing an emerald tunic that matched his eyes exactly. He had on black leggings and a robe that was the same shade green. His hair was braided with little beads woven into it. He was also wearing his circlet. He looked like a true prince.
He walked over to his mother and father first and then he headed towards me and ada.
"Legolas, Thranduil."
"Landion, you look very handsome tonight." I said.
He blushed, "Thank you. I'm glad you made it tonight."
"I wouldn't have missed it." I said with a smile.
We turned when we heard a toast beginning and I saw Galadriel standing up.
She motioned for Landion to come over there and began speaking, "Today is my son's, Prince Landion's, 900th birthday. He has been a joy since the day he came into my life and I don't know what I would have done for all those years without him. Me and my husband are so thankful for him and this party is my way of showing that. I hope you have the best birthday ever, Landion, I love you with my all my heart." She finished.
I saw Landion start to tear up and he gave Galadriel and Celeborn a hug.
He came back over to me after he spoke with some of the other guests.
"I think it is time I give you my gift." I said.
I got the necklace out of my pocket and handed it to him.
"Here it is. I hope you like it."
He smiled and tore open the leaves slowly.
He read the note first and then looked at the necklace.
He gasped, "Legolas, you shouldn't have.." He started to protest.
"I wanted too." I said.
I took the necklace from his fingers and went to stand behind him. I clasped the necklace around his neck. "There. The Necklace of Girion. I really hope you like it, I wasn't sure if you would."
"Thank you. And you shouldn't have worried, I love it." He said and then gave me a quick hug.
I smiled, "I'm glad."
I took his hand and headed over to the table for dinner.

After the party was over, Landion and I left to go somewhere more quiet.
We headed outside to the meadow. It was dark but we knew where we were going.
"So, did you like the party?" I asked.
"I did." He answered.
"I'm glad."
"I have to say that your gift was my favorite though." He said with a smile.
I smiled too, "I'm really glad. It was hard to pick something to give you so I hoped you would like it."
We finally got to the meadow after walking a while in silence.
"Shall we lay and watch the stars?" I asked.
"I would like that." He answered and we both laid on the grass.
After laying there for a while in silence, Landion turned towards me.
"I have something to tell you." He said unsurely.
I looked at him, "What is it?"
"I actually have to tell you two things. You know I said that I don't remember where I came from, which is true, but I do remember one thing from my old life. My real name."
I turned towards him fully, in interest, "Wait, your name isn't really Landion?"
He shook his head, "My name is Landion, here. But where I came from I was called something else, something different."
I nodded, "What is your real name then?"
"Harry. My real name is Harry." He said simply.
"Harry. I like it. Do you wish for me to call you that now?"
"You can but only in private for right now. I don't want to cause any confusion among the other elves."
I nodded, "Have you ever told anybody else that before?"
He shook his head, "No. Never."
I smiled and wrapped him up in my arms, "Well I'm glad you chose to tell me that, Harry. You can tell me anything, you know."
He smiled against my chest, "I'm glad because I have something else to tell you, too."
I pulled away slightly and looked at him.
"I am not originally from this world. I was brought here by the Valar. I don't remember anything of the previous world besides my name. I do remember some parts of the Valar, though. The elves that brought me here were Nienna, the Lady of Mercy, and Este, the Gentle. I briefly remember them but I was much too young to remember anything important besides their names."
I gasped, "So you have met some of the Valar elves?"
"Yes, I have when I was a child. I am not originally an elf; I was born human. Galadriel had a vision of me coming to Middle Earth and when I arrived she was there to take care of me. For some reason the Valar gifted me with being an elf and sent me here. I do not know why. I have never asked Galadriel in fear of the answer," He sighed, "So now you know the most important things about me."
I stood up and brought him with me. I embraced him fully, "I'm glad you trust me, know that I would never share your secrets without your permission. If you have anything to tell me, I am here for you."
He nodded and pulled away slightly.
We were really close and I could feel his breath against my lips. I leaned my forehead against his and he closed his eyes.
I was just about to lean in to kiss him when I realized what I was doing. I pulled away and apologized.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me."
He blushed, "It's alright."
"We should be heading back now."
He nodded and we walked back to our rooms in silence.
