CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Glorfindel woke in stages slowly coming to realize his head was resting against a smooth hairless chest. Without moving he asked “Why?”

“I could not bear to lose you and not so soon after Haldir” Legolas revealed quietly.

“I have been robbed of my death for a second time” Glorfindel bitterly retorted.

“You have been saved and given time to heal from the hurt of losing both Draco and Lucius” Legolas replied steadfastly.

“And being raped by a trusted friend and his pet Veela” the bleak bitterness was still present in his tone.

“That as well, I’m not sorry your still alive and don’t ask me to be” Legolas told him firmly.

Glorfindel moved restlessly in the arms holding him “How did you manage to convince Harry?”

“He could no more leave you to die than I could fly” Legolas said a touch indignantly.

The door opened and Harry entered the room, his Veela purred at the sight of his mate and consort cuddled together on the bed. A bolt of fierce passion, joy and possession jolted through the three way bond.

“I thought you might be raging” he told Glorfindel curiously.

“I don’t have the energy my grief is too fresh” Glorfindel glared at Harry.

“Draco’s death is not your fault” Harry said getting to the heart of the matter.

“Then whose fault is it?” Glorfindel asked cynically.

“Galadriel’s, mine and Haldir’s brothers” Harry’s own anger and grief showed “get ready Gandalf is waiting down stairs to take us back to Thranduil’s palace.”

The door closed silently behind Harry, left with little choice the elves rose from the bed and readied themselves for the day ahead.

Back downstairs Gandalf watched Harry with apprehension, the young Veela’s grief and fury was held in check by sheer will power alone. He thrice damned Galadriel for causing all this trouble.

“What is the punishment for murder in Valinor?” Harry asked out of the blue.

“There has never been a wrongful death in Valinor before so there is no prescribed punishment” Gandalf was forced to admit.

“And Veela law?” Harry enquired.

“There has been no need for it” Gandalf could have bit his tongue.

“Well there is need of it now” Harry snapped.

“Maybe your right” Gandalf agreed.

When Glorfindel and Legolas arrived downstairs they found Harry and Gandalf sharing an uneasy silence. Harry approached Legolas breathing in deeply the scent of lemon; he kissed his mate briefly on the lips. Then turned towards Glorfindel suddenly noticing the scent of roses and smiling, he kissed him thoroughly. He ignored Gandalf’s quiet start of surprise.

“Veela only have one mate” Gandalf pronounced.

“And I do, Glorfindel is my consort or did you expect me to leave him to fade?” Harry retorted.

“Thank you it is no small thing you have done” Gandalf returned warmly.

Glorfindel bit his lip but said nothing now was not the time to speak of so private matters.

They stepped out of the bright light to find Thranduil waiting for them “She is already here” he told the small group “Celeborn, Rumil and Orophin are with her.”

Turning to Harry he said “I am sorry for your loss.”

Harry briefly nodded his thanks “I am used to death but I didn’t expect his especially here in this place.”

“Galadriel is not usually so rash or ill in her judgement” Thranduil responded.

Harry pursed his lips and scowled but other than that said nothing.

“I will take you all to the library while your rooms are being prepared” Thranduil had a bad feeling about the coming council.

Before they reached the library Gandalf excused himself and went to find Elrond. Thranduil left them at the doorway saying they would be informed when there rooms were ready. The three of them stepped over the threshold, Harry stopped suddenly on seeing Snape who was sitting there reading a book.

“What are you doing here?” Harry demanded.

“They thought you might need some support” Snape replied with a raised eyebrow.

“Not very good judges of character are they” Harry returned dryly.

“Yours or mine?” He asked with interest.

“Both” Harry actually smiled.

“I see your trail of death and destruction continues” Snape said coolly.

“Don’t pretend you care” Harry sat opposite him.

“Draco is the only reason I’m here” Snape’s voice was bland in the extreme.

“I don’t imagine you feel guilty” Harry said with bite.

At that moment the door opened and they were joined by Rumil and Orophin. Both Snape and Harry glared at them with venom only to receive haughty disinterested looks in return.

“I know where the guilt lies Potter and it isn’t with me” Snape’s eyes rested on the new arrivals “you got your burning if not at the stake.”

In Harry’s opinion holding a council in a garden was a very odd thing to do, yet here they were sitting among the flowers waiting for her ladyship to arrive. Both he and Legolas sat on a couch like thing while Glorfindel lazed in the grass next to them.

Everyone else sat on what looked like ornate garden chairs. After what seemed to be hours Galadriel finally arrived hand in hand with her mate, Rumil and Orophin walking behind them. Everyone rose to there feet except Harry who just smiled nastily at her, causing her to flinch which made him laugh out loud.

Hearing the laughter Galadriel’s eyes became flinty and hard. Celeborn squeezed her hand warningly and she lowered her eyes in response.

When they were all seated again Gandalf took it upon himself to start the meeting “Friends we are gathered here because justice needs to be seen to be done. A child has been killed and a Veela and his mate have come under attack.”

“Cut the crap” Harry burst out taking all by surprise “since this place has no laws for murder or laws concerning Veela’s I say we go by the laws of magic. They were good enough to use in the case of Haldir’s murder so why not for Draco’s and the attack on myself.”

“Harry I know you are upset but” Legolas tried to calm his mate down but was cut off mid sentence.

“But nothing she was aiming for you and she knows what that means, she knows the score” the Veela was clawing to be free.

Legolas pulled Harry into his arms “Calm down my love.”

As all waited for Harry to get his Veela under control, Glorfindel rose to his feet and perched on the arm of the couch resting a hand on Harry’s shoulder.

This time it was Galadriel’s turn to laugh “Can’t Legolas keep you satisfied, you really must be an old throw back if you need both a mate and a consort.”

Harry jumped to his feet and blasted back “I prefer it to being a frigid bitch like you; I thought Celeborn had a hungry look about him if you wish he can spend the next few nights with me.”

Galadriel snarled but Harry only laughed in her face.

“If we could get back to the matter in hand” Elrond said placidly.

“Potter has a point our law was good enough for Haldir so it is plainly good enough for this situation” Snape said firmly.

“Your law can demand death or imprisonment” spluttered Celeborn.

“If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime” Snape snarked.

“This is getting us nowhere” Thranduil snapped.

“Banishment” Harry said loudly and all eyes turned to the two Veela.

“How would that be any different from prison and where could we be sent anyway?” Celeborn demanded.

“From Valinor to my world, there is a set of caves in the Forbidden Forest that would suit you both well” Harry told him coldly.

“How long would we have to remain in your world” Celeborn didn’t sound enthusiastic about the idea.

“Until the day I die” Harry offered nonchalantly.

“And that is all you want” a distrustful Galadriel asked.

“That and the promise of no harm to me, mine and anyone or thing I even remotely hold dear” Harry told her sharply.

“What say the rest of you” Galadriel threw at the council.

“I would say accept lady he is asking little enough” Thranduil said caustically.

Several of the elves present nodded there heads in agreement. Snape examined Harry’s face and stance but kept his own thoughts to himself.

“Can we have a show of hands those for” Gandalf counted seven including his own “it is decreed that the lady Galadriel be taken from Valinor within 48 hours and placed in the world of men. She may not return until Harry Potter Thranduilian breaths his last and may the Valar guide her every thought and deed.”

“Gandalf” The tone of Harry’s voice caught everyone’s attention “I accept the gift from the Valar.”

Gandalf closed his eyes and breathed in deeply “I thought you would.”

“What is this treachery” Galadriel spat.

“This is not treachery the Valar offered Harry the gift of the elves and he has accepted it” Legolas told her with satisfaction.

“He will be immortal and you lady are banished for good” Glorfindel added his tone hard and unyielding.

“You’ve changed Potter, I won’t say matured but there is a definite change” Severus Snape felt a grudging respect for the Veela.

“A compliment” Harry taunted lightly.

“I said no such thing” Snape’s face flushed.

“Since the council has ruled I suggest a break and a period for reflection” Elrond lead them from the garden grateful that blood had not been shed.

It wasn’t an unbearable pain just constant and in the background of everything. Harry didn’t want to move he felt so tired, he only realized he was lying down when a slim body joined him and wrapped him in lemon scented arms. Legolas his mate, his life, his love, but someone was missing. The word consort drifted into his consciousness.

“Glorfindel” shock waves went through the atmosphere, everything became tense and strained.

There was a distant noise harsh words he couldn’t make out and then the scent of roses as a profound beautiful rest stole away the limited consciousness he had.

Legolas glared at Glorfindel “If he didn’t need us so much I would beat you bloody.”

“You could try” Glorfindel challenged.

“Stop you’re bickering and tell me what is going on” ordered an exasperated Elrond.

“In return for the gift of the elves he had to give up his magic” Legolas informed the elf.

“And?” Elrond was sure that wasn’t all of it.

“The rest is none of your business” Glorfindel said sharply.

“I beg to differ Harry is my patient and I need to know all the facts” Elrond wasn’t put off by Glorfindel’s attitude.

“But I am not” Glorfindel replied stubbornly.

“Tell me how did you become part of there bond” Elrond’s eyes never left Glorfindel’s face.

But the elf refused to answer and it was left for Legolas to say “He took both Lucius and Draco’s deaths very hard and began to fade.”

“And you all consented to the bond in an effort to heal him” Elrond looked at the group lying on the bed “tell me Glorfindel consented Legolas.”

His request was met by damning silence “A rape bond.”

“We had no choice” Legolas defended there decision.

“You had a choice not a good one I’ll grant you but a choice all the same” Elrond bit out.

“You would have left him to death” Legolas said angrily.

This time it was Elrond who didn’t answer.

“I am still here and as I told you before Elrond this is none of your business please close the door as you leave the room” Glorfindel ordered with bearly concealed anger.

Elrond left after a disapproving look at the three on the bed slamming the door behind him.

“Let’s get him through this shall we?” Glorfindel wrapped an arm around Harry.

Silently Legolas agreed and they both settled in to wait for Harry to wake from his sleep of change.

Elrond burst into Thranduil’s study to find his mate wasn’t alone “Why didn’t you tell us?” He fumed at Gandalf.

“I thought it would be quick, Harry will recover shortly” Gandalf puffed on his pipe.

“What’s going on?” Thranduil demanded.

“Harry forfeit his magic for the gift of the elves” Elrond enlightened his mate.

“You get nothing for nothing in this life” was Thranduil’s dry comment.

Elrond braced himself “When were you going to tell us it was a rape bond with Glorfindel.”

Gandalf sighed “I thought as much.”

“You didn’t ask them” Elrond was astounded.

“You have become squeamish over the long years Elrond, if you remember I had a distant cousin saved by the same method” Thranduil was frowning all the same.

“Its rape plain and simple” Elrond announced bluntly.

“Yes its rape though there is nothing plain or simple about it in this case” Gandalf took another draw on his pipe.

“Then all we can do is be there when they need us and hope the Lord and his Lady have mercy on them” Elrond said sadly.
