Cool Personality test I took today, wow I'm crazy! LOL...

I've written about 700 words of the next chapter. It will deal with mainly how Harry's homeworld a.k.a. Dumbledore and the Dursleys deal with his disappearance. I haven't decided yet if Harry will meet Gandalf or Mithrandir as the elves call him in this chapter or in the next, so I guess you'll have to stay tuned to satisfy your curiousity. I hope to have the chapter done and uploaded to both Livejournal, TTHfanfic.com and Fanfiction.net before this week is over, but since it's almost christmas there might be some delay since I'll spend the days with my family. Anyway the chapter should be done by the latest by tuesday.

By the way the next chapter will be dedicated to all those who have reviewed this fic on all three sites I've uploaded it to. It's really nice to get some feedback on my writing since this is the first major fic I've written so far.

I've had a brief pause writing on my fic 'Of Wizards nad Elves' the last two days which would explain the delay in getting out chapter four. 
I've finally managed to finish as small oneshot that's been floating around in my PC the last five months. 

Anyway barring real life incidents and disturbances Chapter 5 should be written within the week. 
I've only gotten 250-300 words written as of yet but knowing me I'll get into the zone and write out the chapter fairly quick. 

Those of you who have read chapter four will probably notice that it does not span Harry's life from age 6 to eight, in fact it stops by his 7th birthday. 
This is simply because it seemed like a more logical place to let the chapter stop and also because my fic has gotten a head of its own and thinks it is in charge of me, not the other way around. 

Oh well, as long as it's written out well, I suppose I can't complain.

A/N: Harry's elven name will be Estel; yes I know this is Aragorn's name, but I felt the name would fit Harry better, since it means 'Hope' and that is how the wizarding world sees him. Harry has also gained new hope for his own future by coming to the elves and that is why I chose it. So for this fic, let's just pretend that Aragorn was called something else by the elves.

CHAPTER FOUR

It had been a week since Harry's joining ceremony and he had been asked by his Adar to start classes with Erestor and Glorfindel.

Erestor would be teaching him math as well as writing, history and geography.
Harry could already read since that had been the one thing the Dursleys couldn't take away from him. Yes, they could take his

Glory sat in her hotel room in London, watching her reflection in the mirror. She smiled to herself, if she had to be caught in a human body it was only fitting that she was stunningly beautiful. Of course she was, being a Goddess she could hardly be plain, no matter what her form happened to be.

“My most radiant gloriousness, you have a visitor.” One of her loyal little henchmen said, it was the one who had the loveliest oozing sores on his face, she never could remember his name. She wondered briefly who would dare to disturb

Progress report

I've just started chapter four in my multi-chaptered fic 'Of Wizards and Elves'. this chapter will be all about Harry or Estel as he is now called, life from his adoption by Elrond at the age of 6½ years to his 8th year. 
He will be spending his time taking lessons from both Erestor and Glorfindel while spending time just being a 'normal' kid with his new family. 
As of yet I've only written about 700 words but it will likely be almost as long if not longer than chapter 3.
I've made a rule for this fic which states that no chapter may be shorter than 2000 words.
The lenght of individual chapters will depend on the content, but  will ALWAYS be longer than 2000 words.
Anyway I've got some school stuff coming up tomorrow so I will probably not be able to write on the fic before friday and it should be ready for uploading saturday if everything goes to plan.
Again I would like to thank my beta Tals who is also an author of fanfic herself and she can be found at TTH where she has written among others 'Dawn Summers, Marine'. Look it up if you have the time.
Anyway I'll upload chapter 4 around saturday both here and at FF.net.

I've finally finished chapter three, it's about 7-8 pages long and thus far the longest of my chapters. I had planned initially to cover more ground in this chapter but this seemed like a natural place to stop.

I still can't believe how fast I update this thing.
I hardly do anything but write these days and the story just comes out automatically whenever I sit down in front of my PC.
I don't know when chapter four will be done since I've only written the first line and I'm taking the rest of the day off to do school related stuff.

Anyway I decided to go with Estel for Harry's new elven name and all I can say to Aragorn is:

"Too Bad, So Sad!"

Oh well, stay tuned for another chapter of 'Of Wizards and Elves', coming to a computer near you within a week or two, though seeing how quick I am right now it might be a matter of 3-4 days.

CHAPTER THREE

Harry had been with the elves ten days now, four of them out of bed after his injuries had healed.
This morning found him sitting in a corner of the library, almost hidden from view by the book cases and a tapestry hanging on the wall beside him. He was curled up in a patch of sunlight that had managed to penetrate the clouds and was halfway asleep when Elrond found him.


Elrond reached out a hand to gently shake him awake.

“Harry, child, wake up it is time for your breakfast.”

Harry startled awake, flinching at the unexpected touch.

“ No, I'm sorry, I didn't do it, please don't hit me, I sorry.”

He babbled, trying to disappear into the wall behind him. His eyes were wide in fright, and his voice shook with fear.
Elrond frowned, the boy was more affected from his abuse than he had first realized, not that he had expected him to come out of it fully healed, inside and out, but he would have to be careful with his new son. Very careful and gentle if he wanted the boy to truly trust him and his own safety in this place.

Change of plans.

I've decided that chapter 3 will NOT cover Harry's life from age 6 to 8, mostly because if it did it would be a huge monster of a chapter. 
Already it's over 6 pages long and its not yet finished. 
Instead of being a telling of his life from 6 to 8 it will recount the first few moths with the elves, and end with his adoption by Elrond. 

I've even invented a nifty little adoption ritual for him to go through so tune in for the next chapter which will come to a computer near you in 1-2 days. either here or at ff.net. 

Anyway that's all she wrote for now.

Need HELP
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I've already gotten about 1700 words of chapter three written and so far it goes very well, all my characters are behaving themselves and they actually want to follow the plot, yay! 

Anyway since this chapter is meant to follow Harry's life through ages 6-7-8 it will be somewhat longer than the others. and my lovely Beta, Tals is also doing a wonderful job, but then again, she always does, she has had writing classes once so she even knows some technical stuff which is is happy to share with me. 

Any way the one thing about this chapter that did give me a few problems was Harry's elven name, which he will recieve in said chapter. i've been over tons of translation sites and elvish language sites, and found a lot of good words, only either the english translation has absolutely no significance to Harry or the elven version sounds somehow 'off' from what I want it to sound like in my story. 

So after countless hours spent trying to find out a name for Harry I've decided that I'll simply steal Aragorn's old elvish name Estel, which means Hope, which fits with Harry and his position in the wizarding world as well as with his own new hope at having another family who actually likes him.
however if anyone out there knows the elvish translation of Lightning I would be happy to concider this name for him if I think it sounds good.

So anyone who knows a bit of elvish is more than welcome to reply to this message with that translation and help me out  a bit, if you have some other good name for Harry for me to consider, thanks in advance,
