Chapter Two
At first, Bilbo hadn't believed Syrena when she told him of the other world. Then she showed him, her memories. She didn't show him everything, some things he only caught a glimpse of, but she showed him the important things. She also showed him her Bottomless Bag and gave him a few books to read about their creatures and magic. He felt for them, for the hardships they had endured in their world, in their war, but he was also fascinated by this other world. He offered them to be guests in his home for as long as they wanted or needed, asking that, in return, they tell him tales of their world. They accepted and The Shire gained three new residents. The hobbits welcomed them, though at first they were a bit wary of the three Men.
Harry, Syrena, and Teddy stayed with Bilbo for six years before they decided to travel and find a nice area to teach Teddy, who was now thirteen, magic and swordsmanship, among other things. After a heartfelt goodbye with a promise to write, the trio left The Shire. They first headed to Rivendell, where Syrena meet and became close friends with Arwen, daughter of Lord Elrond. They stayed for two years, Syrena teaching Teddy combat and swordsmanship while Harry taught him magic and how to wield it without a wand. After that, they traveled to various cities and towns, though they didn't interact much with others (but they had quite a few encounters with Orcs, the dreadful creatures).
It was five years after they started their travels, in the middle of Teddy's archery lesson, that Harry's gut and instincts told him that they needed to return to The Shire as soon as possible, that they would be needed.
Teddy eyed his father with worry. "Dad?" the eighteen year old called to the man who looked no older than 24.
The twins discovered they weren't aging three years after they arrived in Middle Earth and had a feeling that Teddy would stop aging as well in another few years.
Harry smiled at his son. "How would you feel about returning to The Shire, Ted?"
Teddy beamed, his eyes bright. "We're gonna go visit Uncle Bilbo?!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Syrena looked up from the book she was engrossed in. "What's this about Uncle Bilbo?" she asked her nephew.
"Dad says we're going to The Shire!"
Syrena smiled brightly. She missed Bilbo and the other hobbits. "Truly? We are?"
Harry nodded in confirmation and Syrena and Teddy didn't hesitate to pack all their things in their Bottomless Bags before shifting into their animagus forms, or one of them. Syrena's forms were a panther and a red African Bush Viper, Harry was a tiger and a pitch black hawk, and Teddy was a wolf and falcon. Currently, Syrena was in her panther form, Harry, his hawk, and Teddy, his wolf. They set out for the Shire almost immediately, their movements fast and swift.
It took almost a week to reach The Shire, and when they did, the sky had already darkened. Reaching Bilbo's home, they were relieved to see light coming from the windows. Syrena knocked twice before opening the door.
"Bilbo? Guess who's ba- who the bloody hell are you?" Syrena narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the two dwarves in the hallway. Bilbo had never mentioned dwarves in his letters.
"Aunt Rena? What's wrong?" Teddy asked, peering in over her shoulder. He blinked. "Why are there dwarves in Uncle Bilbo's house?"
"What? Rena, get out of the bloody way, will you?" Harry grunted from behind the duo.
Syrena huffed and entered the hobbit hole, still glaring at the two dwarves. "Are you going to answer me or what?" she snapped at them.
"Fili, Kili, who's at the door?" a voice spoke and suddenly eleven dwarves and an old man were also in the hallway.
"Okay, somebody better start talking before I take out my sword and start chopping limbs off." Syrena growled, hands twitching to grab her two ornate steel swords, which hung on her hips.
Seeing the movement, the old man stepped forward. "I am Gandalf the Grey, my dear girl. A friend of Bilbo's."
Harry raised an eyebrow, easily recognizing the name. "Gandalf, huh? Elrond mentioned you a few times."
Gandalf eyed him. "You know Lord Elrond of Rivendell?"
The trio nodded, Syrena studying the wizard. She snorted.
"Reminds me of Dumbledore."
Harry scowled darkly at the name. "If he's anything like that old bastard, things will get ugly fast."
"Dad?" Teddy turned to his father worriedly.
"Dad?!" the dwarves repeated with disbelief.
"How's that possible? You look the same age!" a dark haired dwarf, Kili if Syrena heard right, exclaimed.
"They could be elves. They're dressed like them." a red haired dwarf sneered.
Syrena glanced down at her tunic, leggings, and boots. Indeed, she was dressed like the woodland elves, despite never having met them.
"We're wizards, if you must know." Harry spoke, tone indifferent.
"What's going on out here?" a voice came from behind the dwarves.
Teddy beamed when he caught sight of the trio's favorite hobbit. "Uncle Bilbo!"
Bilbo started, eyes widening. "My word, is that you, Teddy?" he breathed as he studied the teen. "You've grown. You're taller than you're father now, you are."
Harry pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. "It's not fair." he grumbled sulkily.
Syrena laughed and walked up to Bilbo. "Teddy's been taller than Harry since he was 15." she stated as she hugged the hobbit tightly. "It's nice to see you again, Bilbo."
"And you as well, Syrena. How were your travels?"
"Good, though we had a few encounters with Orcs. Nasty creatures, they are." Syrena's nose scrunched up in distaste.
"You've fought Orcs?" a dwarf, a leader by the vibe coming from him, asked her skeptically.
Syrena narrowed her eyes at him. "Do you doubt my skill because I am a woman?" she asked him, tone dangerous.
Teddy chuckled nervously while the dwarf paled a bit. "Calm down, Aunt Rena." he said, gently tugging the woman away from the dwarf.
"An Orc laughed at her when she went to fight it, once. Want to know what she did to it?" Harry spoke up from his place against the wall.
"What?" a young dwarf asked.
"She cut off it's arms and legs with it's own axe and left it to bleed out after embedding the axe in it's stomach."
Some of the dwarves grimaced and looked at the woman warily, to which she smirked almost maliciously at.
"Anyway, I'm Harrigan Potter, though I'd prefer it if you'd call me Harry. And she," he gestured to his sister, "Is my twin sister Syrena."
"And I'm Teddy!" said teen grinned.
"Ah. These fellows are Nori, Dori, Ori, Bofur, Gloin, Dwalin, Balin, Oin, Bombur, Bifur, Fili, Kili, and Thorin Oakensheild." Gandalf introduced the dwarves.
"A pleasure to meet you. May I ask as to why you're here?" Harry asked.
"Gandalf wishes for me to take part an adventure." Bilbo told him.
"An adventure?"
Syrena straightened. "Does this adventure have anything to do with Erebor and the dragon Smaug?" she asked seriously.
"Dragon? Like the one dad went up against? The Horntail?" Teddy asked his aunt.
Syrena shook her head. "Smaug is a lot different than the Horntail, Ted."
"You've gone up against a dragon?" Dwalin asked Harry, who shrugged.
"Yes, my dear girl, we are indeed heading for Erebor." Gandalf answered Syrena.
The witch nodded. She didn't remember much from the books, since it's been awhile since she read them, but she did know that at some point Thorin, Fili, and Kili die. Lifting her head, she met Thorin's gaze. "I ask to join you." she declared.
The dwarf king studied her for a moment before he nodded. "You may come along."
"She's not going anywhere without us, so we're going too." Teddy stated.
Syrena snorted. "You just want to go on an adventure." she retorted, smirking at him.
Teddy shrugged, a grin on his face.
"The rest of you're family may come as well." Thorin spoke.
Teddy's hair turned bright blue in his happiness, making the dwarves and Gandalf jerk with shock.
"What magic is this!?" Gloin exclaimed, eyes wide.
"Hmm? Oh, Teddy can change his appearance at will." Harry told them.
In response, Teddy morphed into an exact copy of Fili. "Pretty cool, huh?" he grinned.
"Amazing." Fili breathed.
Syrena yawned, suddenly, and ran a hand through her hair. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired. I see you in the morning." she said, giving Teddy, Harry, and Bilbo quick hugs. She turned to Bilbo. "Is my room-"
"It hasn't been entered since you left." Bilbo smiled at her.
She nodded and disappeared down a hallway.
"We should get some sleep as well." Harry stated. "It was nice meeting you all."
"And you as well, Harry." Gandalf nodded his head to the raven haired man.
