An. Yes, I think this might actually be a completely original idea!! I think it might be the first one I've ever come up with. Possibly co-written with Jessi Malfoy, I'm not sure! ^-^
God Works in Mysterious Ways.
Chapter one
James stared at the parchment he was holding. The words all seemed to be blurring together into one big mass of ink.
'James, put that down! You've been staring at it for half an hour.' Sirius called across the room.
James sighed and dropped his charms homework. It was true, he just couldn't concentrate! It was too boring! He heard a muttered curse and saw Remus also abandon his work. His made him feel slightly better, if Remus couldn't do it why should he?
Sirius yawned, 'Oh God! KILL ME NOW!' He yelled at the ceiling. Remus snorted with laughter.
'That can be arranged.' Replied James
Sirius made a rude gesture.
They all laughed, except Peter. This was strange, considering Peter's tenacity to follow Sirius around like a lost puppy. Sirius looked at Peter, who was reading in the corner.
'Wormtail!'
No repose
'Peter!'
Nothing
'Earth to Peter?'
Silence.
Sirius threw a book at him.
Something.
'Fuck you Sirius.'
Remus, James and Sirius walked over to see what could possibly be important enough to make Peter swear at Sirius. Peter was poring over a very small and very dirty book. It looked like the kind of book that authors publish for one reason; to get the free copy.
Remus leaned over to see the title.
'House Elves: A True History? Are you kidding?' Remus laughed
'Written by Daŭnin Greenleaf.' Sirius read off the back.
'Well Peter, as much as this looks interesting, I need to get back to my homework.' James said.
The three boys went back to their bags when they heard a faint 'thud' behind them. They turned to see the book lying open on the floor. Peter was nowhere to be seen.
James walked slowly over to the corner and looked at the book, lying open on its last page. Sirius and Remus stood next to him and they started at the picture staring back at him. It was an Elf, and it was smirking.
It all went black.

Aragorn's feet made heavy prints on the soft grass. Legolas was running behind him, bow and arrows at the ready. Legolas was pale, and his usually dancing eyes were dull with grief. The hobbits were trudging along, thier dirty, tear stained faces clouded in pain.
Boromir and Gimli were last, ready to pick up the hobbits when they fell, sword and axe awaiting action. Frodo fell but Boromir grabbed his shoulder before he hit the ground.
'Aragorn, be merciful, let the little ones rest!' cried Legolas.
Aragorn stopped and looked behind him, it was true, Gandalf's death was draining all of their strengths, even his.
'I feel their pain Legolas, but we must get into Lothlorein.' He turned and continued to run so he wouldn't have to look at Legolas's face.
The passed over the crest of the hill the great forest of Lorien was before them. A new strength came to Aragorn as he ran towards the golden wood. He was about to enter the shade of the trees when a person crawled out from behind a trunk. Another two people came out as well, groaning as they crawled towards him. He heard one of them say,
'Bloody book.'
He stepped forward and grabbed to nearest one, pulling him to his feet.
'Who are you, and what is your business here?'
The boy looked at him though angry blue eyes,
'I'm Sirius Black, who the hell are you?'
