Chapter 2: The caves
After a little while the sleds just stoped because of lack of snow and ice for them to slid. The rest also had to stop because of the same thing. Sam got off of the sled and looked around, but it was useless he couldn't see a thing.

"Lumos!" the three younger 'Hogwarts' members said causing the ends of their wands to light up. The 'Fellowship' looked at them in amazment, while the others looked at thier surroundings.

"That was handy, what else can you do?" asked Gimil before Merry could comment. Ray took out an orb and dropped it on the ground, it started to and dimly. For some reason the light that it cast, no matter how little it looked, allowed them to see atleast 200ft all around them.

"They can so you on the way, now let us continue." Said Ray as he started to walk down the tunnel. The 'Fellowship' and the 'Hogwarts' groups noticed that thier snow equipment dissappeard without a trace.

"Shouldn't we go back to see if your brown-haired friend is alright?" asked Legolas, who was glancing back in that direction.

"Stephanie? Oh don't worry she's fine, besides she's ahead of us." replied a white-haired snowboarder, having glanced back amused at the elf, "By the way, my name is Eleanor."

"My name is..." Legolas was about to say his name when she held a hand up.

"We know your name Legolas, we know all of your names. So, the only introductions that are needed is our own."

"I am called Minda," said the young blonde-haired girl that had commented on the age of the Snowager. She introduced her sled-buddies as Edan (Red-headed boy), Tacey (Blue/silver-haired girl), Dylan (White with Blue Streaks), and Donovan (Black with silver streaks).

The snowboarders had introduced themselves as Carla (red with two black streaks in the front), Denzel (spiky, green hair), Amber (Golden-brown hair), and Eddie (Green hair with blue streaks).

The skiers where: Jace (white and silver hair), Victor (Blonde with one black streak), and Vanessa (Blue and silver hair).

"How do you know that she is ahead of us?" asked Legolas as they walked down the tunnel/passageway or whatever you want to call it. The little glowing ball just rolling along, every so often turning them down a certain path.

"We have our ways." replied Donovan, after a few steps all of the 'sleders' ran forward and out of the light. When the others caught up with them, they found them selves in a large cavern with a celling that was atleast 400ft high. It had a stream lowning through it and on either side was a hot spring. A fire had been built far enough away so it wouldn't be bothered, but it gave enough light to show all of the cavern.

Sleeping on an slightly elevated rock near one of the hot springs was Stephanie. The 'sleders' had gathered around the rock, giggling slightly. Eddie walked over and got into her face.

"Wake up, sleepyhead!" he said with a grin, the children giggled.

"You know very well that I am not asleep, and if you don't get that bad breath out of my face, Eddie, then you will have a dagger up your nose." she said, not opening her eyes or moving anything but her lips, "Tell Dylan, that if he dosen't get away from my foot he will get a bloody nose."

"I know a way that we won't have to worry about our noses getting hurt," replied Edan with a twinkle in his eyes, "DOGPILE!!!"

"NO!" said Stephanie as her eyes popped open, but it was too late. The 'sleders' had 'dogpiled' her, "OW!"

Nearly everyone chuckled or something of the sort. Merry and Pippin got huge grins on thier faces.

"DOGPILE!" they yelled as they ran toward Stephanie and the 'sleders'.

"OW! Not you too!" she said after they landed, the 'sleders' cheered when they did this, "Harry, Ron, Hermione, you guys wanted to show what you could do. I think this would be a good time to show at least one thing."

They shrugged, pulled out thier wands, and said in unison (A/N: I thnk this is nearly impossible.) "Wingardium Leviosa!"

Pippin, Merry and the 'sleders' found themselves floating off of Stephanie. Now, taking no chances, Stephanie quickly got up and backed away a few feet.

"Okay!" she said to the younger three of the 'Hogwarts' group. they nodded and dropped the bunch, but only Merry and Pippin fell.

"Ow!" "Not soft rock!" they said in turn, then they noticed that the 'sleders' didn't fall.

"Cassi did that when we met her, how can you do that without a broom or any other means?" asked Dumbledore, the others nodded wanting to know as well.

"Most beings of this world can, but they don't always choose to when it comes in handy." said Stephanie glaring at the 'sleders' at the last part. They gliggled and floated back to the ground.

"What else can you do?" asked Gandolf, then he turned to Dumbledore,"all of you."

"Well you will find out soon enough about our ablities, but if they want Ron, Harry and Hermione can show you a little of what they have learned." said Carla as she walked toward the fire. The others followed suit and sat on rocks or the soft ground near the fire.

"Tacey, you havn't praticed in a while, go for it." said Victor pointing towrd the fire. She nodded and held out her hand, a red rose appeared in it. She threw it into the air and it floated around the fire a few times before it dived into the fire. The fire changed into a deeper red color and smelled of roses.

The 'Hogwarts' and the 'fellowship' groups started to talk about thier worlds and what was in them. The 'Hogwarts' people had never heard of Orcs and the 'fellowship' had never heard of unicorns. Some of the 'sleders, snowboarders, and skiers' chuckled at this.

During this Stephanie and some of the other residents had started setting up tables with food, and drink. Stephanie comment on how much her sisters pack, while one of the others would chime in saying how much she packs.

The hobbits stopped thier talk about the Shire when they smelled bacon and mushrooms. Everyone looked to see some very large tables, ones that looked like would seat 10 layed out with piles of food. From all of thier worlds. Pizza, Pumkin pasties, Elvish wine, butterbeers, ect.

"Grab a plate, grab a drink, grab a fork, spoon whatever you want to eat with and dig in!" said Stephanie as she grabbed some pizza, a few other things, a non-alcholic margerita (A/N: I hear they taste better), and walked over to her rock and sat down.

Everyone followed suit and started asking each other about the foods. Hermione and Harry couldn't believe that Ron had never tried a pizza. Gimili enjoyed the elven wine, a little too much. The others would help explain what the other groups where saying, but never said anything about thier own world.

Legolas had noticed this and looked at Stephanie, he had decided to sit with her on the rock to see what she would do. She didn't object, just moved over and gave him more room.

"And what of your world, My lady?" he asked looking at Stephanie, she gave him a questioning glance, "You seem to know everything about our worlds, so what of yours?"

By now everyone had stopped talking and listened. Even the ones that knew of what was asked looked with curious expressions on thier faces. She took a deep breath, looked at the celling, then looked around at everyone.

"Well our world is like any other, we have our good as well as evil beings. As long as there is a balance, then we are at peace. It doesn't always stay that way but we move on. Our world doesn't always make sense, but that's the way that we like it. There is one thing that you should know about our world, things are not always as they seem." she looked around and noticed that everyone thought that she was avoiding something, "You also want to know of what ablities that we have that we havn't shown you. Well some of them you have seen, we can fly at will, and use magic. We can also speak in other tounges as some of you would put it. We also can shape-shift, Minda, maybe you should show them."

"What do you want me to shape-shift into?" she asked.

Well that's it for now, you will find out what I have planned for them soon enough, but for now you will just have to wait. I havn't gotten any reviews for this and I want to see what you guys think. Please?
