There was a shifting among the giant kernels of popcorn. A single large kernel appeared in the corridor and popped with a rather loud bang. Instead of a normal-sized human, a pixie about the size of a large dragonfly appeared out of the resulting mess. A very handsome, but grumbling and butter-sodden pixie.

Pix? Had she really just heard that? Was one of her friends here? Megan's heart leaped as she heard the voice, ignoring the fact that it didn't sound too familiar at all, and altered her course from being on her way to browsing the Hufflepuff food libraries to backtracking in the direction of the voice. Which was, oddly enough, the popcorn room and not the Sorting Room like she would have thought.
She poked her head in the door, wondering who it would be. Surely not Santo--the voice was all wrong for her big rock friend. Not Victor, either--maybe that new guy, Jonas? Aaaand... no, it wasn't either of them. It was a tiny buttery guy with wings. "Oh," she said, disappointed. But it only lasted a few seconds. "Hi! Welcome back! I'd offer you a hand but I don't carry a handkerchief around and I don't know any magic spells to make butter disappear

Jenks looked up, startled to see a.. very large pixie. He paused midflight, actually dropping a couple of feet before recovering. His wings reddened and he buzzed closer to her, leaving a trail of brightly colored dust in his wake.
"Turn me," he swore softly. "You're.. how did you get so big?"
He sniffed, "Wait.. you're not a pixie. At least.. not like any I've ever seen. Not human either. Wait, not entirely human." Jenks scratched his head, officially stumped.

"There are lots of us back home, you just need to look in the right gardens. We've gotta keep an eye out for birds, faries, and other kinds of trouble like that."

He raised an eyebrow at the pixie, and asked, "Might I be of assistance, small one? You appear as if you might be lost."

"I.. I think I was one of those," he ventured, gesturing at the room of massive popcorn kernels. "It's still a little.. Turn me.. you're an elf!" He stared at Elrond, astonished.
Why no, pixies aren't subtle creatures.

He smiled slightly at the pixie, finding himself a bit amused. "I am Elrond Half-Elven, of Imladris. And yes, most would call me an Elf. But I fear that I do not know what to call you, small one."

"Half-Elf huh? I thought most of you guys were in the ever-after, or died out after the Turn. Never thought I'd see one in person."
He seemed to shake himself, "Sorry! Call me Jenks." The pixie sniffed, "You don't smell like a regular elf. You smell like.. like growing things," he said, unable to quite convey what he meant.
