A Thousand Years (LoTR/Harry Potter)

Chapter 15

Alex's P. O. V.

Students rushed to the Great Hall. Apparently, Professor McGonagall had something very important to tell us. I had recovered from the 'possession', a week ago. Also, I have been spending loads of quality time with Legolas. But there was something not right, Legolas seemed disturbed, I can see it. I wonder why...

"Have you told her?" a voice echoed through the halls.

"No. I can't bear the pain to see her traumatized, knowing that there's a monster haunting both her past and her present!" I recognized this voice. Legolas.

"You know you have to, don't you? It's her life, young prince. Choose wisely..."

"Of course... I'll tell her after the announcement.."

I know it's bad to eavesdrop but hey, I'm a curious girl. I shook it off and continued walking to the Great Hall.

"Hey," I jumped at the voice.

"Legolas! You scared me!" I said.

"Sorry," he said, leaning down, giving me a kiss on the cheek. I blushed.

"You're cute when you blush..." that made me blush harder.

By the time we walked into the Great Hall, hand in hand. We received stares and glares but we did not care. I took a seat beside Lily and Legolas sat beside me. Katie was still no where to be seen!

"Now now, every body settle down!" McGonagall started, "I've called you all here to inform you th-"

"Sorry, I'm late!" a very rushed Katie said. All eyes were on Katie now. She quickly scrambled to her seat which is beside a junior Gryffindor, Slyvia.

"As I was saying, I've called you all here to inform you that, the Triwizard Competition have been canceled, " groans filled the Hall, "There have been many incidents happening due to this occasion. Incidents that most of you are not aware of, one of them is the attack in Hogsmeade. We managed to force words out of a Death Eaters mouth. The Dark Lord has returned."

Everyone gasped.

"And also there's a threat. The Third Wizarding is starting! We need to prepare all of you for war. All first to third years are to be sent home in a months time. Letters have been sent to your parents. All sixth years and seventh years are to learn archery and sword fighting skills as not only wizards and witches we are going to fight, they have made an alliance with unknown creatures called orcs. Master Gandalf will tell you more about these creatures."

"lAlthough not entirely dim-witted and occasionally crafty, they are miserable beings, hating everyone including themselves and their masters, whom they serve out of fear. They make no beautiful things, but rather design cunning devices made to hurt and destroy..." Gandalf started.

"Ada! Help!" a little girl screamed reaching out for her father, "I don't want to fall!"

"Give me your hand Alex!" the father screamed.

"I'm scared!" The girl was slipping, "Ada!" she screamed once more, the branch was breaking.

"ADA!!" the girl fell.

"ALYXON!" tears filled the man's eye.

A bright light burst from below, the little girl flew up. "Ada!" she rushed into the man's arms.

"Alyxon! How did you-- you flew!"

"I flew like a bird ada! It was scary but fun! Can we do it again?"
