Chapter 1

'Crap, I dropped my stuff.' Harry whined and bending over to pick his stuff up, he saw a golden ring under his desk. He picked up his stuff and hurried off to join Hermione and Ron. 'Hey guys, I found a ring!' He held it out to show Harry and Hermione. 'Hey, let's go up the common room!' Ron said, and they skipped merrily up there (oh, we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz :). They got into the room and looked at the ring. 'Hey, if it's one of those magical rings, we have to throw it in the fire to see if it has writing on it!' Hermione said, trying to grab the ring from Harry. 'Where did you get a stupid idea like that?' Ron asked. 'I read it in a book once.' She said, reaching once again for the ring. Harry shrugged and threw it into the fire. He waited for a minute, and then snatched it back out. He could see red writing on the ring. It said: This ring belongs to the Dark Lord, Sauron, care of 666 Mt. Doom, Mordor, Middle Earth, 55555. 'Cool.' Harry said, reading the ring. 'Put it on.' Hermione said. 'Let's see if you become invisible.' Harry placed the ring on his pointer finger. He became invisible and his friends started looking around for him. He stood at the window and opened it, while Ron and Hermione scurried away. Out the window, he could see a large, black tower coming closer. At the pinnacle was a large eye. 'POTTER!' it called to him and he shrieked, removing the ring. He looked around. 'Ron, Hermione?' there was no trace of his friends. He decided to go down to Professor Dumbledore's office. Meanwhile, several creatures in black robes came through the window, just as Harry had left. They all drew their swords from the sheaths which hung from their belts. The leader of the Nazgûl, the Witch King, led them up to the Boy's Dormitories. They searched each room until they got to the fifth year's room, where they found Ron and Hermione making out on Ron's bed. They all made the shriek that they always make and ran out of the room. Gandalf the White in turn walked into the room and slammed his staff on the ground. Ron and Hermione had not taken notice that they were falling through the rooms below them until the got to Dumbledore's office. 'Oh my.' Said Professor McGonagall, her eyes widening. Harry the came into the office at the same time to view this sort of disturbing romance. 'I'm hurt,' he said, tears welling up, 'That you two didn't invite me to join you.' 'Get a grip Potter.' Professor McGonagall said, punching him in the arm.
