Chapter 1 A Letter from Middle Earth

Author's Note: I've always wanted to do a crossover with The Hobbit and Harry Potter. And I'm very excited to finally being able to post it. As much as I love Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione and Neville/Luna (for those of you who haven't read the books Neville and Luna didn't get married, but at least they hooked up in the movies). I'm curious about the girls paired with someone different.

This is a Thorin/Hermione, Fili/Luna and Kili/Ginny story.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

May 2, 1999

Hermione Granger stood in front of a crowd of witches and wizards in the Great Hall.

Today was the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. She was asked by Professor McGonagall to come down and speak at the anniversary celebration.

She's couldn't believe it's been a year since the big battle. Even though they defeated Voldemort, they lost so many good wizards and witches.

Cedric Diggory

Sirius Black

Albus Dumbledore

Mad Eye Moody

Dobby the Free Elf

Colin Creevey

Fred Weasely

Remus Lupin

Nymphadora Tonks

Severus Snape

All died for the cause. Yet there were three individual that stuck out the most for her. Hermione looked to her right to see the other guests McGonagall asked to come out here to speak: Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood.

After the battle the three of them became close.

Each of them had lost someone special.

For Luna, it was Neville Longbottom.

When Hermione went off with Harry and Ron to hunt down the Horcruxes, Neville was the one that held down the fort at school. It was hard to believe that Neville was the same nervous boy from their first year at Hogwarts that accidentally broke his wrist during Madame Hooch's flying class because he pushed off his broom too soon. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Neville managed to pull the Sword of Gryffindor out of the Sorting Hat. He was attacked by Voldemort's snake, Nagini, but with his last breath he killed the snake and destroying the Dark Lord's last remaining Horcrux. When it was over she found Luna with Neville's body. She remembered watching the young Ravenclaw girl lying her head on his chest, like she was hopping to hear a heartbeat.

Then there was Ginny.

It was no secret that Ginny had feelings Harry Potter since she was eleven-years-old. You would have to be a fool not to notice. But it wasn't until last year that Hermione saw just how much Ginny loved Harry. She snuck into the battle, even though she was told not to by her parents, just to stand by Harry's side. Even though Harry defeated Voldemort he suffered too many injuries in the end.

Hermione felt so bad for her friend.

Ginny not only lost the boy she loved, she also lost two brothers as well: Fred and Ron.

Oh Ron!

Hermione felt her eyes begin to water.

For years she tried to deny her feelings but it took a war to make her realize how much she loved Ron Weasley. They even managed to share their first kiss despite all the chaos that was happing all around them. And for a moment Hermione thought they would be all right. How wrong she was. During the battle she was a fighting a Death Eater, who cast a spell that shot arrows from the tip of his wand right at her. Ron pushed her out of the way at the last minute but one of the arrows pierced his heart. She remembered holding Ron in her arms as he slowly died. She never cried so hard in her life.

So there they stood.

Three young witches that lost the wizards they loved.

They survived the war and even though they lost loved ones they weren't the only ones.

They watched as McGonagall stood in front of the podium to address the crowd. She welcomed everyone to the celebration as a way to honor those who died during the battle.

Before she knew it she heard McGonagall calling her name and asking to say a few words.

Hermione looked nervous but Ginny and Luna gave a nod of encouragement.

Slowly Hermione took the professor's spot. She looked up at the crowd in front of her. At first she didn't know what to say but then suddenly the words came out.

"You all know about Harry Potter. The Boy Who Lived. The Chosen One. The one who defeated Lord Voldemort. But to those that was closest to him, he wasn't any of those things. He was a friend, a brother, a student. To us he was just Harry, " Hermione said.

Unknown to everyone, Professor McGonagall was standing at the sidelines watching Hermione with worried eyes. And it wasn't just Hermione. She looked over Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood, also with worried eyes. There was more to the girls visit than just speaking at the Battle of Hogwarts anniversary celebration.

She pulled out the letter she received a week ago. It was from an old friend of Dumbledore's. Apparently he was asking for help on a quest he was planning on going on with his friends that involved reclaiming a mountain kingdom from a dragon. That made her suspicious. And what made her more suspicious he requested Ms. Granger, Ms. Weasley and Ms. Lovegood specifically.

At first McGonagall flat out refused. She didn't care if this man was friends with Dumbledore or Queen of the fairies, there was no way in hell she was going to let a man she has never met before drag these girls into another war. They were still recovering from the last one. But the wizard in question was very adamant for their help. She finally agreed to at least talk to the girls about it. They had the right to choose for themselves if they wanted to help or not.

She continued to watch as each girl got their turn to speak, all the well still clinging the letter she had in her hand.

From Gandalf the Grey of Middle Earth

Author's Note: What do you think? What does the letter say? Why does Gandalf want the girls? Please let me know what you think.
