The battle of Hogwarts was over. After nearly seven years Harry had finally defeated Voldemort. They were all finally free to live their lives. Harry was currently being hailed as a hero while Hermione walked outside of the castle to get some air. She needed to be away from the crowd to process everything that had just happened.
She went over the past few months in her head. She remembered escaping Bill and Fleur's wedding with Harry and Ron, finding the Horcruxes and trying to destroy them. She remembered the effect the locket had that lead Ron to leaving. She remembered the torture session she had with Bellatrix. She remembered the horrors of the battle still fresh in her mind as she saw several classmates and friends die for them. Tears jerked from her eyes at the thought of the ones they lost. She wanted someone to just give her a well needed hug but there was no one for her, not even Harry or Ron.
She wondered if anyone really knew she was missing or if they even cared if she was. She was not one to fit in with everyone in this world, not even with Harry and Ron. She was their friend of course but she knew she really couldn't have a life here. She wondered if if now would be a good time for her to go home. Her mission here was no over. She didn't want to go and say goodbye right now in the mist of all the celebrations nor did she want to have to explain why she was leaving. She was to drained at the moment to do any of that.
Hermione fingered the silver pendant around her neck. Just then her pendant started to glow and Hermione felt a pain in her stomach hit her. Hermione fell to the ground clutching her stomach as her vision started to blur. She started to faint and was soon on her back looking up at the clear sky. Her eyelids started to fall close as she heard a familiar voice.
"Dear Autheil, come home to us. You are much needed. Come home to us Autheil." Hermione drifted off into darkness and her body disappeared from the Hogwarts grounds.
Hermione felt herself appear on soft grass but she did not open her eyes until she heard to fimilar male voices call her name. "Autheil! Autheil!" she awoke at the sound of footsteps. She was greeted my the sight of her to elven twin brothers Elladan and Elrohir running towards her.
She sat up slowly as they knelt down beside her. "Autheil are you wounded?" Elladan asked frantically. "Where does it hurt?" Elrohir. "I'm fine guys, really." she said. She pulled both of her older brothers into her arms. "It so good to see you." she said as tears came to her eyes. She had missed her brothers so much over the last year. "We missed you too." Ellrohir said.
They pulled apart and she took in her surroundings. She was sitting on the training grounds of her home Rivendel. A place she hadn't been to in nearly two years. The place she could truly be herself, the place she could be Autheil Melitheil.
"Elladan! Elorhir! Are you alright? I heard you yell." Autheil turned to the beautiful voice and saw her beautiful older sister Arwen stop in her tracks. "Autheil" she whispered and then grabbed the skirt of her dress to help her avoid falling over as she ran and embarrassed her youngest sibling. "You're home." she said "But how?" she asked. "I don't know but I think it has something to do with Grandmother." Autheil then proceed to explaining what had happened after the final battle.
"Come we must findAda and tell him your home and safe." Arwen said and helped her sister up. "How isAda?" Autheil asked. "He's been worried. He tired to look into the other realm to find you. He succeed of course but when he did he saw you being tortured by a ugly and evil witch." she explained. I sighed she knew her father would try to make sure she was safe but she had hopped that he would have seen something better than her being tortured.
The four siblings quickly found there father in his study concentrating on some old scrolls. "Ada?"Arwen asked breaking her father stare at the scrolls. "We have a surprise for you." Elladan teased. The look of question on Elrond face was enough for them. They moved out of the way to reveal his youngest daughter. Elrond's breath hitched in his chest but he got up from his chair quickly and made his way across the room to hold his daughter.
"You're home?" he asked almost in disbelief. Autheil nodded "I'm home Ada."
I missed you so much." he said. "I missed you too." she said.
Elrond pulled away from his daughter and took in her appearance. She had a few bruises on her face, a bleeding lip and dirty all over her but he could have cared less.
"Is it over?" he asked. She nodded "It's over Ada."
Elrond let out a breath of relief and thankfulness.
"Let's get you cleaned up and then you can tell us about your journey." he said. Autheil nodded in agreement. She really did need a proper bath.
After she took a nice long bath and applied medications to her wounds she sat down with her father and sibling around her and told them how she aided Harry in his defeat against Voldemort. It was late when she had finished her story so they had all went off to bed seeing Autheil needed to sleep.
