Chapter 2: The first signs
The following morning he woke up by the sound of a hard knock onto the door.
“Just a minute.” He said, while putting on his clothes.
“Come in.” he said when he was ready.
The door opened and it revealed a very angry looking Aragorn.
“Lady Galadriel sends me, she asks you to come down with your belongings. We are leaving as soon as you’re ready. The others are already down. I’m surprised you weren’t awake yet. Don’t Elf’s always awaken with the dawn?” he asked sarcastically.
Legolas winced at the sound of his voice, but he guessed he had it coming.
“Elessar,….. Aragorn. I-I…..” Legolas started to apologize, when Gimli stormed into his room. “Ah there you are, crazy Elf. We are all waiting for you and for you too Aragorn. What’s taking you two so long?”
“I… was still a sleep. So Aragorn had to wake me up.” Legolas, said, only partly lying.
Gimli looked at them both suspiciously. He knew very well that Legolas wasn’t telling him the main reason, the falling of a leaf onto the ground would have been enough to awaken the young Elf. “I see.” He said finally. “Well, just hurry, will you?” he added before leaving them both alone again.
“Wait up, Gimli.” Aragorn called after the dwarf. “I’m coming with you. There’s nothing left to keep me here.” He said looking angry at Legolas. The Elf looked back with pain and sadness flowing through his eyes. That made Aragorn hesitate for a moment and his face softened for a second, but soon his features turned grim once more as he walked out of the room.

Legolas quickly grabbed his weapons and clothes together and put most of them into a light package. He threw on his cloak and quickly descended the stairs in search for the others.
It didn’t take him long to find them.
“Now you are all here I will explain to you how everything is going take place. First you will all have to drink from this bottle, which will able you to go from one dimension to the other safely. If you would not drink it your mind and body would probably be teared apart, through which you would die instantly. Anyhow that doesn’t matter for I have made the potion. When you have all taken it, I will open the portal through which you have to go through to reach the other world. It is very important that you each give a hand to the one standing next to you, so you will not get lost into another dimension. If that happens it will be almost impossible to get back. When you get into the right dimension you will know and Albus Dumbledore will be waiting on the other side.”
“How will be know, Lady Galadriel?” Frodo asked.
“Just trust me, you will understand what I am talking about once you get there.” She said mysteriously as always.
“Alright, have you all got the things you need with you? Right just stand back for a moment.” She asked. She spread her arms and started to talk in elfish very fast. After a while she started to glow more brightly as usual and there appeared some kind of ball filled with light into the air. It slowly grew larger until it was about 7 foot (a/n: that’s a little more than 2meters, right?) and 4 foot wide. The fellowship looked at each other astonished. The ball stopped growing, but was still glowing brightly.
“Quickly, drink the potion each one of you and grab hold of each others hands.” Galadriel told them. She was already getting a little tired by putting so much energy into the portal. When they had all taken the potion, each grabbed the hand of the person next to him. For Legolas it was Aragorn, who grabbed the elf’s hand reluctantly and only held it loosely at first.
But when he started to enter the portal he grabbed a hold of Legolas’ hand more tightly and pulled him close behind him. Legolas himself clasped both of his hands around Aragorn’s, for he was the last one to enter the portal and didn’t feel like getting lost into sotheother dimension. He really didn’t like going into the portal at all!
When Aragorn saw his fear and discomfort, he only pulled the elf more closely and grabbed him around his waste, making sure he wouldn’t get lost in any way. Legolas smiled gratefully at him, now holding onto Aragorn’s shoulders.
When the light had engulfed him, he couldn’t see anything at all, which only frightened him more. He didn’t understand why everything was so dark, when the portal had been so bright. Although he couldn’t see him, he could still feeling Aragorn’s body against his and that made him feel a little better. Apparently Aragorn couldn’t see him as well, cause he heard him faintly calling his name. His voice seemed to come from far away and sounded as mere a whisper into his Elven ears. As an answer he pulled himself closer to Aragorn’s body. After a few seconds the world started to spin around them all of the sudden and after a few seconds it stopped as abruptly as it had started. Legolas could see somet oft of light ahead of him now and started to walk towards it, following the others, who also seemed to be pulled into that direction. When they had reached the light they could see some sort of room behind the blur of light. They slowly walked through the portal again and now came into the chamber one by one. They all checked if everyone was there. Legolas let quickly go of Aragorn as soon as he stood into the room, looking very embarrassed. Aragorn had let go of him as well briefly looking if he was alright and then turning his attention to the others. When everyone had realised that they had all come through safely, they started to look around the room, soon they spotted an old man, who watched them closely with a smile on his face.
He stood up and walked towards them. “Greetings, I’m Albus Dumbledore head of Hogwarts, school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You must be the fellowship I have been waiting for.”
Gandalf approached the old man first, extending his hand. “It’s a honour to meet you. I am Gandalf the White these are my companions and friends: Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, Meriadoc Brandybuck also known as Merry, Peregrin (is that spelled correctly?) Took – Pippin for short. Gimli son of Gloin, Prince Legolas Greenleaf from Mirkwood and King Elessar, also known as Aragorn.” They all extended their hands towards the old wizard, who looked at them curiously.
“If you don’t mind me asking, but from what kind of races are you all from. From some I have a very good idea, from others I haven’t got a clue.” He asked curious looking first at the hobbits, then at Gimli and at last at Legolas.
“Well, we are hobbits. We live in holes under the ground and enjoy our lives a lot. We eat and party all the time and just like to take everything slow.” Merry said pointing at the halflings surrounding him. “Gimli is a dwarf and they also live underground, but they almost always stay under ground, while we only sleep there and eat and play and…” Pippin punched him lightly, telling him to shut up. “Right,” Merry said looking a little angry at his friend. “Anyways they like to work into their mines digging for all kinds of stuff. Gimli is great with his axe and he has already slayed many orcs with it.
Then you have our friend Legolas over here, who is an elf. They're totally in love with nature and have superior sight and hearing abilities. They are also immortal and Legolas is about 3000 years old! He can also walk over snow and without leaving a single footprint, on top of that he is a great archer” Legolas looked embarrassed at the compliments and silently looked at his feet.
Gandalf and Aragorn are human, although Gandalf is also a wizard and Aragorn is the king of Gondor and was raised by the elves. He’s also a great warrior……… Well, I think that’s about it.” Merry smiled contently.
“Now we have all formally met, why don’t we go downstairs and have some lunch.” Dumbledore proposed.

While they ate they discussed all sorts of things. Legolas didn’t talk that much, but was content with listening to his friends. He found the food tasting really particular, as he wasn’t used to eating human food especially not this kind. He couldn’t even make out what it was, he was eating. He finally stopped poking around in his found and decided to just try something. He took a piece of chocolate cake with lots of sugar and whipped cream on it. It smelled okay, he thought. So he took a large bite. As soon as he tasted all the sugar in his mouth, he began to choke. This was way to sweet for his liking! He coughed several times before he finally managed to swallow some peaces of the cake. His eyes had started to water and he could feel someone clapping his back. After a minute or so the cake in his mouth was completely gone and after he had drunk his glass of water, he managed to say: “That was disgusting!”
Everyone looked at him amused, trying not to laugh.
“That, master elf, was a chocolate cake. Was it too sweet for your liking?” Dumbledore asked innocent, while sparkles shone in his eyes.
“Most humans and as I can see now also Hobbits, are very fond of it.”
Legolas glared at all of them, deciding not to eat anymore. He pushed his plate aside stubbornly, which only made the others smile broader.

As soon as they were all finished, Dumbledore took them to yet another room, which seemed to be some sort of hospital wing. There they found three other people waiting for them. One men and two women. The man had black greasy hair and his skin looked almost white. He had a hooked nose and his eyes seemed almost completely black. He remembered Legolas a little bit of Wormtong, but he noticed that this man didn’t look evil or untrustworthy. He even smiled when they all entered. The woman closest to him also smiled at them. She wore glasses and her grey hair was bind on top of her head in a tight bun. Her eyes were greyish blue and gave away a lot of intelligence. The last woman seemed to be a nurse, she had red hair and two small green eyes, which were staring at him. Her mouth was slightly parted and she didn’t even seem to blink once, since they had gotten here.
Legolas looked at her uncomfortable. He didn’t like the way she was watching him, so he quickly positioned himself behind Gandalf and Aragorn. Unfortunately that didn’t help as Gandalf moved away from his spot to introduce himself and the others.

Aragorn could hear Legolas behind him, shifting uncomfortable from one side to the other. He looked back at him ready to question him of what was wrong. But as soon as he followed Legolas’ gaze he saw what was bothering him. A woman, who appeared to be a nurse, was now walking up to his friend, probably to talk to him. No one else seemed to notice for they were all discussing of what was to be done. Aragorn decided not to interfere just yet and just see how it would go.

“Hello.” The nurse said to Legolas. “I’m Poppy Pomfrey and you are?”
“Legolas Greenleaf.” He said shortly, not daring to name his title, because he knew that then the woman would be probably all over him.
“What a beautiful name, it suites you well.” She said closing the space between them a little.
“So, you are here to help us with our struggle against the dark lord. You must be very brave then, to leave your world behind and sacrifice your life for some strangers. You must be a very noble man.” She said, almost drooling. now now had his hand on his chest and Legolas was quickly backing away until he had his back against the wall. When he saw that she was closing in on him again, he made a swift moment, so he stood on the other side of her, having enough space again to back away.
When he looked around him, to see if anyone could help, so he could get rid of the woman without hurting her feelings, he saw Aragorn looking amused towards him. He silently gestured for his help, but he didn’t move an inch and only laughed. Legolas glared at him and returned to the woman, who was now touching his face. The elf grabbed both of her hands and put them down. “I’m sorry, but I’m already married.”
Pomfrey looked at him sadly, while she slowly backed away from him.
Legolas turned around to look at Aragorn triumph shining in his eyes. Aragorn looked at him strangely as Legolas approached him. “What?” the elf asked him.
“I didn’t know you were married.” He whispered.
Legolas looked at him surprised. “Of course you don’t know about that. For I am not really married.” He whispered back secretly.
Aragorn’s eyes seemed to brighten at this.
“If you tell this to her, I’m going to kill you!” Legolas added only half joking.
Aragorn smiled at him. “Your secret is save with me.”
“I already hoped you were going to say that.”

They turned their attention to the others and soon found out what the plan was:
Most of the fellowship would go undercover at the school. Either as a student or a teacher. Only Gimli had another task. He had to keep an eye on Hogsmeade, a small town nearby and the only place where only wizards and other magical beings lived.
The hobbits were going to be first year students as they could easily pass for eleven year old humans. Legolas would become a seventh year student, supposing to be transferred from Australia to England’s Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Aragorn would become the new Herbology teacher as Professor Sprout was on a year of absence and Gandalf would be the latest Defence against the dark Art’s teacher.
“Now each of you knows about their task, I have another, maybe not so great thing to tell you. Since most of you come from races unknown to this worle mae may have to remove some of your races features, so you can blend in.”
Legolas looked at Dumbledore in shock. Albus saw the Elf’s look and quickly added:
“Of course you will be easily restored in your original shape as soon as you go home.
Legolas thought about what had to be changed on his part. His ears for one thing, hmmm anything else? He groaned as his realized that his hair probably needed some changing too.

The first ones to be changed were the hobbits. Their feet were reduced to the size of that of a human of their age, then they changed their ears and their hair a little so they wouldn’t look to much a like. Then it was Gimli’s turn. Pomfrey removed most of his facial hair, which caused him to look much more human.
At last it was Legolas’ turn. He sat down reluctantly. Praying he wouldn’t look too stupid, with his hair short. First the nurse laid a spell on his ears making them round just like any other human. Then she took a pair of scissors and started to cut his long golden h Leg Legolas held his eyes shut, not wanting to see, what they were doing to his hair.
When the scissors had stopped he peaked through his eyelids to see everyone staring at him. He slowly opened his eyes fully and looked around in search for a mirror.
He didn’t have to look far, while Pomfrey was walking up to him holding one.
He gasped when he saw his reflection. Most of his long golden hair was gone. It now only reached till just above his ears. He touched it slowly, thinking of how strange he looked.

“Alright, when you are all ready, you can follow me to your temporary rooms, where there will be some new clothes for you. When you have all changed, we’re going to Diagon Alley to buy you all kinds of new things, which you will be needing this year.
Legolas and his friends were let to almost the other side of the castle where they went up to some stairs. Legolas couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the people in the pictures on the walls moving and talking to each other. Some even greeted him, he wasn’t able to say anything back as he was at a loss for words at the moment. The other strange thing was, was that the staircases changed. As Legolas closed the line of the group and stayed a little behind for he was so busy with his surroundings he noticed too late that the staircase he was on was starting to change. He quickly run and jumped to the others. Aragorn grabbed his tunic, just to be sure he wouldn’t fall backwards, even though that wasn’t very likely.
The two teachers, who he had learned where called Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall stared at him in disbelief.
“What’s wrong?” he asked insecure.
“Well you just jumped about ten feet down, with the floor being more than a hundred feet beneath you.”
“So? Any of us has done that at bridge of Khazadûm.”ûm.” He said softly, not liking all this attention.
The two teacherokedoked at him strangely, but decided to drop the matter and started to walk again.
“I don’t think you should do that again, when the students have arrived.” Aragorn whispered to him. “That goes for all your other elven skills.”
Legolas sighed. “I’ll try my best not to.”
