CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

Snape looked up from his desk and only managed not to groan by using great self control “Don’t you three ever go anywhere separately?” He grouched morosely.

Harry didn’t respond he just sat in front of the headmaster while Legolas and Glorfindel stood guard like beside him.

Snape gave in “What do you want?”

“I rather thought you wanted something” Harry replied casually.

“From you never” the headmaster snapped.

“Oh well I didn’t want to speak to Galadriel any way” Harry stood up and looked ready to leave.

“Harry!” Glorfindel was not amused.

“What do you say Snape shall we go and sort this out now” Harry taunted the man.

“What choice do I have Potter” Snape stood up and lead the way out of his office.

It was a bright sunny morning and even the Forbidden Forest looked inviting. The short time the elves had been there had seen a change in its atmosphere. It would have been a pleasant walk but within minutes they were surrounded by armed guardians.

Legolas raised his hands “We come in peace.”

“Shoot to kill” Harry murmured under his breathe and was ignored.

“Leave this forest you are not welcome here” the elf was arrogant and reminded Harry of Haldir.

“Take us to your leader” bitter humour laced Harry’s tone.

“Are you deaf leave this place at once” the guardian wasn’t impressed.

“No, but I am Veela and you sunshine are getting on my wick take us to Galadriel and Celeborn or I wont be responsible for my actions” Harry ordered.

They stared at each other and then the guardian said “You will have to wear a blindfold.”

“Not a chance” Harry growled “Anyway we already know where the caves are.”

“You are Harry Potter I thought as much follow me” the small group were herded deeper into the forest.

“What am I doing here again” Harry demanded.

“Pandering to your bond mates” Snape said snidely.

“Stopping trouble before it has the chance to begin” Glorfindel corrected.

They came to the clearing before the caves where they were left under guard “So Potter what happens now what rabbit are you about to pull out of your hat” Snape’s tone was sarcastic.

“Telling you would spoil the surprise” Harry told him sweetly.

It wasn’t long before Celeborn and Galadriel appeared, Harry licked his lips and stared at them intently.

“Potter” Celeborn acknowledged.

“Celeborn” Harry’s tone took on a silky quality “Galadriel have you missed me?”

When she didn’t reply he went on “Never mind I’m sure deep down you have, would you like me to kiss your hand or perhaps your feet.”

“Enough” Celeborn ordered “What do you want?”

“I hear you have barred entrance to this forest” Harry’s full attention fell on Celeborn.

“A forest you gave us to live in” Celeborn retorted.

“I believe it was the caves I referred to but maybe I am splitting hairs in this case” Harry smiled coldly at the elf.

“This is our home and I will protect it how I see fit” Celeborn all but barked back.

“It so happens that I own this forest and Hogwarts come to that” Harry enjoyed the shock he gave both Snape and Celeborn.

“To show good faith I’m willing to lease this wood to you and your people” Harry left the ball in Celeborn’s court.

“And the length of this lease would be?” Celeborn asked.

“Two hundred years and then we talk again” Harry offered.

“The payment” Galadriel asked quietly.

“Ah Lady I’m sure you can think of something” Harry’s eyes flashed suggestively.

Celeborn stepped up to him “Be warned I am not afraid of you.”

“And I would not touch your mate if she were the last women on earth” Harry hissed sharply.

“A Mallorn seed from Lothlorien” Galadriel’s voice was firm and strong.

Harry stepped back from Celeborn and looked towards his bond mates. From there expressions he gathered it was a good deal.

He took a step towards Galadriel and said “Something rare, something precious?”

“It is treasure that is not metal or stone, it is life waiting to happen and it will bring beauty into your world” Galadriel stated calmly.

“I will have the lease drawn up” Harry was ready to return to Hogwarts, both he and Snape departed while his mates chose to stay a little longer with there kin.

“I sense a great sadness” Legolas commented gravely to Celeborn.

“We are in mourning for the loss of an elfling, I’m worried for the child’s parents” Celeborn frowned.

“Lady comfort and heal you in your time of need” Legolas placed a hand over his heart.

“Thank you, your condolences are appreciated” Celeborn then asked “how do you fair Legolas is the bond all you thought it would be.”

“All that and more, Harry is my world” Legolas replied serenely.

“And you love him?” Celeborn waited.

“Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky. I know this love of mine will never die and I love him” Legolas sang lightly.

Celeborn knew this must be a cultural reference but he didn’t recognise it so he asked “How is Glorfindel?”

“Better still bolshy but improving” Legolas was beginning to wonder at the other elves interest.

“Good” Celeborn smiled reassuringly and continued “is there anything we should know about the caves?”

“Why do you ask” Legolas hedged.

“Let’s just say I have a feeling in my water” Celeborn said crisply.

“The child drown” Legolas wrinkled his brow.

“Yes” Celeborn confirmed.

“Lucius killed himself in the lake cave” Legolas forced the words past his lips.

“Now that is the kind of information you should share” Celeborn was annoyed.

“What good would it have done telling you?” Legolas argued.

“That can never be known now” Celeborn snapped.

“What’s amiss?” Glorfindel asked joining them.

“You could have told me the gutless wonder killed himself in the lake cave” Celeborn told him.

“I didn’t believe it to be relevant or important” Glorfindel couldn’t see why Celeborn was so upset.

“A child has been found dead in the lake cave do you see some relevance now?” Celeborn said more calmly.

“This world still has restless spirits tied to the earthly plain” Galadriel approached them with quiet dignity.

Glorfindel turned to walk away only her hand touched his arm and he stopped “Will you not even allow me to try and make amends?” She asked softly.

“How can you do that Lady you murdered Draco and tried to kill Legolas” Glorfindel managed to reply steadily.

“I changed your life forever and I regret that” her hand left his arm “it is not easy being a Veela’s bond mate.”

“The Malfoy line is dead and the best you can do is tend to your people and your mate” with that Glorfindel finally walked away.

Legolas turned to Galadriel and said “Lady we can’t give you the forgiveness you seek, but you and your people are in my thoughts” he kissed her hand and then followed Glorfindel.

Snape was very unhappy “That is hardly what I would call sorted or even a compromise.”

“The lease will be drawn up to allow limited access to the forest which is all the school really needs” Harry stated firmly.

“You are a right little bastard” Snape said heatedly.

“While you’re all sweetness and light” Harry retorted blithely “and that’s no way to speak to a school governor.”

“But the only way to speak to you” Snape grunted “I want to see that lease before they sign it.”

“That can be arranged” Harry allowed with a tight smile.

“You’ve become quite sly on the quiet” Snape accused.

“I learnt from the best you and Dumbledore were masters of that art form” Harry returned.

“Our reasons were sound yours are just…” He stopped as Harry interrupted him.

“Those of a private citizen” Harry completed the sentence.

“I was going to say paranoid” snapped the headmaster.

“Again I’m in good company infamy, infamy they’ve all got it in for me” Harry smirked.

“School boy humour is redundant here, grow up Potter” Snape ordered.

“I plan to enjoy a second childhood my first one was crap and you can’t stop me” Harry stuck his tongue out at Snape.

“Each year you get more and more insufferable” Snape concluded.

“Though you maybe the bravest wizard I know, you’re still a twat” Harry said plainly.

They broke through the edge of the forest and headed towards Hogwarts “So governor Potter, any plans for the school I should know about?” Sarcasm dripped from the words.

“I’ll be setting up the Draco Malfoy scholarships shortly and I also want to set up schemes where muggle born witches and wizards are introduced to the magical world gradually. Instead of being thrown in the deep end when they first attend this school. Anyway what’s this I hear about cultural exchanges with the elves” Harry asked.

“All Elrond’s idea but there is some merit in it” Snape allowed grudgingly.

“I’ll look forward to learning more about it at the next governors meeting” Harry said.

They entered Hogwarts side by side to be confronted by Neville hanging by his heels. A large leafy plant twisted about his body, squeezing rhythmically.

“Help meee!” Neville struggled frantically.

Harry reached for his wand and stopped letting his arm hang loosely by his side “Do something” he growled at Snape.

“Idiot” Snape pointed his wand at the lower section of the plant “Diffindo”

The thick stem base split apart sending the plant and Neville speedily to the ground. Harry hurried over to see if his friend was alright.

The youth sat there dazed recognizing Harry he loudly whispered “I was working on our project and it got a little out of hand.”

“You don’t say” Harry couldn’t help smiling.
