Taerel was sitting next to Charity in the Great Hall for breakfast Barnaby had been doing his work he finally got some food from the Relem that he had missed it so much and was happy when it appeared in front of him it was a mix of:

🧝‍♂️Dakesi which is a shrub whose salty, red secondary roots are edible
🧝‍♂️Dula which is a starchy, golden-brown, tuberous vegetable similar to the potato; often served sliced and fried
🧝‍♂️Ram Berries which are small, succulent purple berries
Davalsa which are grape like berrys and lastly Sisyita which is a bitter, juicy citrus fruit

The student looked at him wondering what he was eating as they had never seen it before but Taerel just ignored them while he ate he noticed halfway through that a origami bird flew to his plate

At first he wasn't sure if he should open it but as Crackle and Sheen had bothered to do anything as they were napping he opened it

Harry, my sweet sweet love

It is not time for the Yule Ball and we must go together, me the only daughter of the Lightest of families around and you the saviour of our world

Won't you please go with me to the Ball, it is our destiny to be together the stars have said

I wait your reply my dearest love

You wife in waiting

Ginny xXx

Taerel just ripped it up and set it on fire the smoke turning pink as it had been dosed in Love Potion

"Who would do something like that Trell?" asked Charity to him concerned for her friend

They may have only known each other a chort while but she had started to get a small crush on him

"I do not know my dear but it will not work on me we Elves are immune to these types of things" said Taerel as he finished he had saved some Ram Berries and Davalsa for his two animal friends

"I must be going I have to go and see the forest" he got up

"Trell the forest is called the Forbidden Forest for a reason we aren't allowed in there" said Charity

"That my dear is where you are wrong, you have been told that no student is allowed there but I am not a student so this rule does not apply to me" he left being followed by his two pets

Ginny came over and shoved Charity glaring at her

"Stay away from Harry he's mine you hear me!"

"I haven't done a thing to you why shove me? all I can see if a 3rd year trying to get her way where as the one she's pining for doesn't want to know you" said Charity as she got up "hate to break it to you Weasley but me and Taerel are friends" she grabbed her books and left to go to class

"Slut" said Ginny as she walked out

Taerel was strolling through the forest the animals greeted him warmly including the centurs Firenze and Bane bowed to him

"Your Highness what brings you here?" asked Bane to Taerel

"The old coot in the castle summoned me here via my old name I am now stuck until this tournament is over but worse thing yet is that I have to find a blasted date for this damn dance I am being forced to attend, I have soul mates one is found and the other I do not know who it is" he huffed annoyed

"It appears Your Highness..." Said Firenze

"Call me Trell I do not like this Highness stuff way to formal" he smiled to the centaur in question

"Very well Trell it appears that you either take the one you know or hunt for the other"

"True but I do not think that the one known would be acceptable he is a teacher"

"Why should that matter you are older than he is are you not?"

"Yes that is true but here they see me a 24 year old human not a 1400 year old High Elf, it annoys me so" picks a flower placing it in his hair

"We see Trell that it must be difficult would you mind telling us their name?" said Bane

"His name is Severus and I found that his magic had blocks on it, I removed that nasty mark on his arms as well"

"Ah Severus a great friend to the forest and to us creatures he only takes what is needed and replants what he can" said Firenze

"Good to know that he is a friend to you and everyone around here...." he spread his arms wide jestering to the forest around them "...I do hope that he says yes to following me back home I would not know what to do if he says that he will stay"

Sheen mewed his now once pure white fur was no grey Crackle had been playing in the soil and jumped onto him

"Oh Sheen my dear we must wash you your fur is grey, Bane Firenze thank you for your time I will come and visit soon" and he headed off back towards the castle

"A date is seems I must find, that girl will not do she is way to annoying even for me to handle I guess the hunt is one for my other mate" he sighed as he walked back into the castle only to stop when the 'trio of idiots' stepped out in front of him

"Harry my love we have to pick out a colour scheme so then we'll match and be the most attractive couple at the Yule Ball" said Ginny was she tried yet again to hug him only to have Sheen swipe at her scratching her hand

"Ow you filthy little creature that hurt!"

"Touch my familiar and I will kill you" said Taerel to her

"Harry you don't have to be rude to your date" said Hermione

"I do not have a date as of yet even if I were to go it would not be with her"

"Harry mate come on you know you and Ginny are an item and are meant to be together" said Ron eating

"Do not talk with your month it is unbecoming of a Pure Blood wizard" said Draco coming over

"Ah Draconius hello do you mind to show me somewhere I can clean Sheen here it seems Crackle had a bit too much fun in the forest"

"Harry you can't go in there it's forbidden" said Hermione

"To you it might be but I am not a student so I do not have to listen or obey the rules set out for you"

"Harry! you have to follow the rules you could get hurt"

"That is rich coming from the girl that stalks me for no reason"

"Harry my love don't say that to Hermione she's one of your best friends"

"I do not recall her, or the meeting that we had to become friends with her I have met her only this 9th moon change so I do not know her, Draconius if you may"

"Ok let's leave the blood traitors and the mudblood and I'll show you Slytherin's bathroom have you found out what the egg is all about?"

"Not yet but I will speak to them soon regarding it"

"You can speak to them?!"

"Why yes we are taught many different languages growing up Aquan or what you know it as Mermish is just one of the languages I know"
