CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

Glorfindel entered the Forbidden Forest he was not surprised to find Galadriel waiting for him. Silently they walked to the caves once at the entrance he stopped.

“From here I will travel alone” he told her bluntly.

“Indeed you will not” Galadriel declared stridently.

“My wife and I are in agreement you can’t speak to Lucius alone” Celeborn appeared by there side.

“If needs must, come on” Glorfindel marched confidently into the softly lit cave, Galadriel and Celeborn hot on his heels.

It didn’t take them long to reach the lake cave, two guards stood by its entrance they saluted there Lord and Lady. Glorfindel ignored them and peered into the cavern.

An unnatural cold cut through his flesh to chill the very bone. The cavern reeked of death its light dim causing shadows.

“Its bad manners to keep your guests waiting” Glorfindel taunted standing at the caves entrance.

“So it is I welcome you all to my humble abode” Lucius appeared mid air grinning in a most unnerving way.

Glorfindel stepped into the cave “I thought better of you Lucius.”

“Come you’re not that naïve I was a Death Eater” the grin didn’t fade.

“Draco was your son” Glorfindel continued following his own agenda.

“Direct as always, I loved my son” the tone held many meanings.

“Then why did you betray and hurt him so much” Glorfindel needed to know.

“Anything I did to Draco was for his own good it made him stronger, what better way can a father show love for his son” Lucius seemed to believe every word he said.

“You were sick then and you are still sick now” Glorfindel told him.

“Sick am I then I don’t want to be cured” Lucius laughed a little too gleefully “still enough of this pleasant chit chat and since you brought up Draco and betrayal…”

Glorfindel broke in “I didn’t betray you or your son.”

“Guilt is a terrible thing why not unburden yourself” Lucius was less than calm.

“I didn’t kill Draco I did my best to protect him” Glorfindel responded with heat.

“Just because you didn’t light the fire doesn’t mean you’re not to blame” Lucius said sagely.

“What are you going to do?” Glorfindel asked more calmly.

“I’m nothing but smoke and mirrors what can I do?” Lucius claimed innocently.

“Plenty” Glorfindel said firmly.

“Your confidence in me is inspiring” Lucius looked over Glorfindel’s shoulder to where Galadriel and Celeborn were standing “this might impress you.”

Lucius opened his mouth wide and screamed. The sound was piercing; shrill to the point of pain. The ground began to shake and rocks to fall, Glorfindel turned in time to see Celeborn pushing Galadriel from the cavern. Then he knew no more as a large rock struck him on the temple.

Alone in his rooms Harry’s eyes rolled back in his head and he collapsed. Legolas was less fortunate the break in the bond sent him tumbling from Caspian’s back. The horse then bolted at the sudden loss of its rider.

The second jolt to the bond brought Harry back to consciousness, panicking he tried to reach his mates and found no trace of them.

Galadriel screamed in pure rage as she scrabbled at the rock fall trying to get to her mate.

//Galadriel cease, calm down my wife I am unhurt// Celeborn soothed.

She threw herself once more against the rocks and panted trying to control her urge to relaese her Veela and damn the consequences.

//Glorfindel is unconscious, Potter will be on his way you must remain in control// Celeborn continued calmly.

Moments went by as Galadriel reined in her emotions and fought for control //I’m fine is Lucius still in there with you?//

//No be on your guard// Celeborn warned.

Harry knelt beside a groggy Legolas and seethed with barely controlled rage. In less time than it took Legolas to blink Harry’s Veela was free and in control.

The bird like creature beside Legolas screamed and flapped its wings in frustration. Getting to his feet Legolas placed a hand on the Veela’s face //Take us to Glorfindel he is in need.//

At first they just saw a speck in the sky but within minutes it had become large enough to cause the forest guardians great concern. They took aim and a shower of arrows went in its direction.

The thing screamed and headed straight for them, yet more arrows were sent flying towards it. Some found there mark and the creature spiralled out of control heading for the forest below it. Its body hit the tree line breaking branches as if fell. It’s momentum only stopping when it struck a half finished flet.

The guardians climbed swiftly to the flet weapons ready for whatever they might find there. Only to there horror they discovered Legolas and Harry unconscious and bloody.

The guardian couldn’t meet Galadriel’s eyes as he revealed what had happened to Legolas and Harry.

“You brought down a Veela and his mate?” Galadriel asked as if she couldn’t quite believe her ears.

“Yes my Lady” he offered no excuses.

“Where are they now?” Galadriel’s temper was on a hair trigger.

“Sickbay my Lady” he shuffled his feet.

“Go to my bed chamber lying on my dressing table you will find the amulet bring it to me” she turned from the guardian and he left.

//Celeborn// she reached out to her mate.
//What’s wrong? // Celeborn could tell something else had happened.

//Our guardians have attacked Legolas and Harry// her tone was flat.

//Good grief can anything else go wrong// Celeborn asked in exasperation.

//I wouldn’t tempt fate my love// Galadriel sighed//how is Glorfindel fairing?//

//Still out cold// Celeborn moved Glorfindel into a more comfortable position in his arms.

The guardian returned and waited for Galadriel to notice him. Impatiently she took the amulet from him and issued an order “Go to Hogwarts and inform Headmaster Snape of the situation.”

Acer looked down at the bed where Harry and Legolas lay. Some might have thought Legolas had been fortunate only suffering a dislocated knee plus cuts and bruising. But whether the prince would feel the same way was another matter.

His once beautiful and flawless face was so swollen his eyes were tightly closed. More shocking was the jagged tear in his skin that ran from his left temple down his face to his chin.

Acer had cleaned it carefully and stitched it as best he could. Still he knew the scar would be a blemish none could ignore least of all Legolas himself.

Harry was pale and not showing any visible signs of life, his shoulder was heavily bandaged as was his left thigh. Where Acer had removed deeply embedded arrows Harry had lost so much blood it had worried the healer greatly.

“Why do you people assume I care whether Potter lives or dies” Snape blasted the elf before him.

“He saved your world or so I’m told” the elf replied frostily.

“With a lot of help” clarified Snape.

“Jealousy doesn’t become a man of your position” sniffed the elf as he left the fuming headmaster.

Never the less half an hour later Snape was escorting Madam Pomfrey through the Forbidden Forest, grumbling every step of the way.

“Severus Snape hold your tongue or you will lose it” Snapped Poppy when she couldn’t stand it anymore.

The sound of laughter didn’t improve Snape’s mood at all

Galadriel put the amulet to her lips closed her eyes and kissed it, the curtain flared before her “Follow me” she ordered the guardians with her and walked through it.

Celeborn picked Glorfindel up and headed towards his wife “We must get him to the sickbay his skin is clammy and cold.”

Acer stood beside Rumil’s bed in the sickbay the elf had long since stopped his incoherent babbling and now just lay there quietly fading. Anger and sadness pulsed within Acer it was such a waste of life.

He took hold of a cold long fingered hand “Fight it even now there is hope for you” he urged his patient.

“Do you really believe that?” Celeborn entered the sickbay carrying Glorfindel, Galadriel by his side.

“When all else fails the Lady may still help” Acer replied.

He was examing Glorfindel even as Celeborn laid him on the bed next to Harry and Legolas. Like magnets they sort each other out and then settled.

Long minutes later Acer concluded “He is uninjured apart from the initial blow to the head; the link must be keeping both him and Legolas unconscious.”

“Potter is that badly injuried” Celeborn asked frowning.

“It would appear so my Lord” Acer replied bluntly.

“Awake Harry Potter and hear my words” the voice was strong and musical.

Harry refused to respond he was comfortable, warm and content.

“You are at a crossroads Harry open your eyes” the voice wouldn’t leave him be.

Reluctantly blinking his eyes open Harry came awake with a start. All that he could see was pitch blackness and he seemed to be alone.

“This is death?” He asked.

“Far from it” the voice told him.

“Where is Legolas?” Harry demanded.

“Safe with people who care” the tone was gentle.

“Are you saying he’s not safe with me?” Harry’s hackles were rising.

“No one is safe with one as powerful as you” the voice was monotone.

“I’m not powerful, I’m not even a wizard now” Harry rejected the words that had been spoken to him.

“Ah but you are Harry Potter you bear the shield of truth and the sword of justice, your duty is written in the stars to protect all who are in need.”

“Who are you?” Harry asked carefully.

“I am your faith and you have found me and though you might struggle you know the truth of my words.” The voice seemed to wrap around Harry.

“You’re a God?” Harry found himself asking.

“I am many things to many people I listen to all and to a special few I give a calling. You are one of my chosen Harry Potter and my gift to you is purpose and direction.”

Harry was briefly lost for words then they came in a rush “No thank you I like my life just fine the way it is.”

“You do not have a choice from this moment on you will be the first Istari on your earth, chiefly concerned with the magic world and the elves of the Forbidden Forest.”

“Look I’m not really suited to playing the hero, I’m vengeful, bitter and sly” Harry announced quickly.

“That has been taken into account” the voice was amused “I have provided you with a conscience.”

“Legolas and Glorfindel” Harry muttered.

“Your brighter than you look” the voice concluded.

“Ha bloody ha” Harry grumbled.

“Now rest your bondmates need you” the voice sent Harry back into unconsciousness.
