AN: Thanks to Banana Flavored Eskimo; who gave me this idea about a crossover with Hermione and Smaug relationship. Well here's a shot.

A Wish Across the Stars

Lady Countryrose

Ch. 1

It happened one night; Smaug lying upon heaps of gold, gems, and jewels. Awake for the moment; wondering if this was all there was to living, being the last dragon upon Middle Earth; guarding dwarf treasure for his very own. With his head being the only thing being uncovered; he glanced around and noticed the passage of time upon the walls around him, for it has been nearly sixty years since he was bothered by Dwarves of any kind.

He glanced up towards the cover ceiling; believing that there were stars and not rock and stone, "I wish," he started. "I wish for the one of opposite sex to come before me; who would be more meaning towards me than some hall of treasure, who would give me the new meaning of life." As he grumbled to cover himself back up, he believed there was no such creature that would be such a thing for him.

As he drifted off to sleep with his deep heated breathing; what the dragon did not know, was the stars were out at that moment that he had wished. Even a star had shot across the stars; as if his wish was hunting down for such a female for him.

Gandalf stood upon a hilltop; overlooking towards the Lonely Mountain at night fall, just hours from the moment that the great eagles had set Thorin Oakenshield's company down from a fiery rescue. Dawn was moments away; as he witness a star shooting across the stars, heading towards the place that he knew as Earth, a place far different than the one he lives in.

"A wish," stated Gandalf. "Someone has made a wish." Then he glanced towards the only mountain that could be seen for many miles. "I wonder . . ."

A small voice found its way to the old wizard, "You wonder what, Gandalf?"

The said wizard turn towards the voice with a smile upon his aged lips, "Don't mind me Bilbo; I'm an old man who dreams of happy endings."

Bilbo then made his way closer, "I don't see any harm in that, now tell me what you wonder."

The grey clothed robed man turned towards the mountain, "I'm wondering if a creature like Smaug would make a wish."

Bilbo gave the wizard a started look, "A dragon? Why would a dragon want to wish upon a silly thing like a star for?"

This caused Gandalf to chuckle, "You may be right Bilbo, but an old man like I; would enjoy a different ending than a war with the great beast as him."

At that very moment; as if the great heavenly beings have answered his request, the sky was alight with a flash of lightning. This caused a strike of light to hit upon the ground; just below the lookout, from where the company was staying. Then a mighty shake that was followed by a mighty roared had accrued from the place that the lightning had struck.

This had caused the Dwarves to jump upon their feet; reading for an attack that has not happened, one of them with a mighty voice, "Gandalf, what has happened?!"

The wizard sighed, "Nothing for you to worry about, Thorin. I believe we have a visitor from another place and time!"

As the wizard had said this; all that was within the company had looked over towards the area to where the sound had come from, where they saw a figure lying in the middle of the dent of the ground.

"Who is that," asked Dori.

Gandalf grumbled, "That is where we must find out."

The company had gotten upon their feet and made their way down towards the figure that was lying upon the ground. Neither one of the Dwarves or even the Hobbit that was with them; neither of them have heard something like this before, and none of them knew what to do.

Gandalf with Thorin and Balin walking before the rest of the group; were closer than the rest, to where they found a young looking woman, lying upon the ground of where the flash of light had hit. The wizard leaned down and moved the hair aside from her face; which caused him to gasped, "Miss Granger!"

Balin glanced towards the wizard with a raised eyebrow, "You know of this young lady?"

The ageless wizard closed his eyes as he stood upon his feet, "I'm afraid I know her because I had helped taught her the ways of being a witch."

Thorin asked with a heated look, "Why is she here?"

Gandalf glanced towards the leader of the company, "I do not know. The last I have known of her; she was getting ready for her own adventure, in a different and faraway world from this one."

"What's her name," asked the wizen of the Dwarves.

"Her name is Hermione Granger; the Brightest Witch of her Age, the Guardian to the one who would stop the most evil of wizards."

Thorin gave a raised eyebrow, "You mean to tell me that a little human girl can be as powerful as you?"

Before Gandalf could say anything; the said woman had started moaning, indicating that she was waking up. Her eyes started flicking open; she glanced around to see who and what was making all the noise, then a thought came to her; why was she asleep to begin with.

Once she had pushed her body up to a sitting position; she saw a man that she believed to be a ghost and gasped out, "Professor Dumbledore?"

Gandalf chuckled, "That was an age ago my dear."

Hermione pushed herself to her feet and glanced around, "Where am I?"

"You; Miss Granger, are you Middle Earth. An age and far away from what you know from Earth, my dear."

"What am I doing here? The last thing I remember; I was in the Great Hall, seeing all of my classmates either injured or dead. I just saw Fred upon the floor; along with Tonks and Remus, there was so many," gasped Hermione; as she was trying ever so hard to not shed a tear.

Gandalf sighed, "I'm sorry you had to grow up so young, Miss Granger. As for how you have become to be here; I believed that you were wished here, by unknown force of some kind."

She glared at the wizard and said, "You know that I don't believe in things; such as wishes, headmaster."

Balin smiled, "She is a wise one, Gandalf. Why should one believe in wishes; when one could make their own dreams come true, by working for it."

Hermione glanced towards the elder dwarf and then glanced towards Gandalf, "Are they Dwarves?"

The man smiled, "Yes they are," stated the elderly man. "As from now on; I am known as, Gandalf the Grey. I'm also known as the traveling wizard. These Dwarves and I are on a quest; a quest to get back into their homeland and since you is here; would you be game enough to join?"

She knew her headmaster enough to asked, "From what, may I ask?"

"A dragon," stated the elder man.

Thorin yelled, "Gandalf; I would not be responsible for the safety of this child of man or wizard! If she joins; then it's on her own head if she wants to survive this journey!"

Hermione glared, "I can take care of myself, thank you very much!"

This caused many of the men to laugh; but a few were eager to see what she would do to Thorin, if he did not stop talking.

She gave a smirk worthy of a Malfoy, "I'm game."

This caused many of the Dwarves; which were shorter than even her, had jumped around in happiness. Glad to have another person upon their mission; as for Thorin, he gave a deep dark look of hatred for having a disturbance within his company.
