-----------------------------Chapter 1------------------------------

When Harry woke up he found himself in a forest with Ireth sitting on a rock not too far from him watching. He then noticed a quiver of arrows and a bow were sitting at her feet. He quickly sat up but wished he hadn't when his head got sore and the trees began to spin making him lie back down. Ireth shook her head and pulled out one of her arrows and loaded the bow. She then stood up and walked over to Harry and stood beside his head.

"Your going to kill me now aren't you?" Harry looked up at her then closed his eyes.

"Don't be stupid." He heard the bow twang and the arrow hit a tree. Someone cursed and walked towards them. "Damn I missed"

"Why did you do that Ireth? You knew it was me."

"Of course I knew it was you Elrohir. Now where is your brother?"

"Right here Ireth."

"Get over here Elladan. I think I need a hug from my favourite cousins."

Harry opened his eyes and saw two men. Twins. They had long black hair. Well at least he thought they were men.

"Ok. Enough hugs. Mithrandir is expecting Harry. Help him up would you? He's a bit dizzy." Ireth moved away and the twins moved to help Harry up.

"Did you bring the horses? Or do we have to walk back?" Ireth had picked up the quiver and had strapped to herself.

"We brought horses Ireth. We know how much you love riding Meren." The guy on Harry's left answered.

"Thank you Elladan." She whistled sharply and four horses came into their clearing. One was white, one was black and the other two were brown. The twins helped Harry over to the black horse. "Wait. Do you know how to ride a horse Harry?"

"Kind of. Well I've been on a hippogriff and a Thestral."

"Well it shouldn't be too hard then. But then again we are here to help if anything goes wrong." She quickly got onto the white horse while the twins helped Harry onto the black one. They then got on the brown horses.

Ireth whispered something to Harry's horse and it followed the twins. Ireth then followed behind Harry. They went at a calm pace, so Harry was able to look around a bit. The forest seemed to be quite old. He could hear running water, as if there was a large river near by. He thought he saw something move in the trees above but dismissed them to be birds or some other creature. Suddenly the twin at the front stopped and looked up. His brother looked up as well then shouted something. Ireth came up beside Harry and grabbed the reigns of his horse. The twins took off and Ireth gave a sharp tug on both sets of reigns and Harry had to hold on as hard as he could as both horses took off as well.

After a while the horses reached a set of gates. The guards opened the gates quickly then shut them as soon as both were through. Ireth kept the horses running but allowed them to slow down a bit. They soon reached a large courtyard and the horses stopped. Ireth jumped off her horse then helped Harry down. They walked up some steps and were met by a blonde guy. Harry looked up at him, as the guy was taller, and felt that he shouldn't mess with him.

"Ireth, are you ok? The goblins were right on your tail according to Elrohir."

"Yes Legolas I'm fine. Meren was too quick. And you need to stop worrying about me. You'll go grey and end up looking like Mithrandir."

"I can't help it. I've known you since you were a year old. I feel the need to look after you."

"How did I know you were going to say that? Oh, this is Harry, Harry this is Legolas. One of my oldest friends here."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Harry Potter. I am Legolas Greenleaf. I have heard and read much about you." Legolas bowed his head in greeting.

"It's...um....nice to meet you too..." Harry didn't know why but he felt that if this Legolas guy was friends with Ireth then he was alright. Ireth caught their attention and nodded up the steps. Harry looked up and Legolas turned slightly to see who it was. A wizened old man was walking down them. When he reached the bottom Ireth and Legolas both bowed their heads.

"Harry Potter. I'm glad to see that Ireth got you out of your realm without any major injures. I am Mithrandir or Gandalf the Grey. I welcome you to Middle Earth."

Back in Privet Drive Order members were modifying the muggles minds. They had caught many Death Eaters as they had been tipped off by an unknown aid. But they hadn't come away without injuries. Alistair Moody and Nymphadora Tonks had been hurt. Moody's good leg had been broken and Tonks had broken her right arm. Her wand arm. She was currently being helped by Remus Lupin. They sat on the low wall of number four and looked around.

"You know....I thought Harry was a goner for a minute there. But he wasn't in his room when I went to check. His stuff is missing too. He was helped out or got out without anyone noticing." Tonks hissed as Remus moved her arm and put it in a splint "That bloody hurt Remus, but I suppose it's better than nothing. So where are we going? Headquarters or St Mungo's?"

"You talk too much and we're not going to either. We're going to your house then mine then headquarters. To hell with Dumbledore's rules." Before she could argue Remus cut her off "You're not staying in that flat alone. You can get some stuff then move into my spare room. I'll heal your arm as best as I can at my house." She nodded and they stood up and apparated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in Middle Earth Harry was sitting on the bed in his new room. He had been told that he would be in Middle Earth, the one from the book he had read one summer but hadn't finished, for three years. But in his world it would only be about a month and a half. So he'd be back in time to get his school stuff and catch up with the Order, as much as he didn't want to but Ireth had told him that she would be going to Hogwarts. He had lightened up when he heard that but he couldn't understand why. He didn't even know the girl.

Then there was the fact that she was an elf. Everyone here was an elf. Except Gandalf who was a wizard like Harry. He was sort of different but he reminded Harry of Dumbledore.... At the thought of Dumbledore Harry started glaring. Harry of course blamed himself for the death of Sirius....but it was mostly Dumbledore's fault for not teaching Harry Occlumency. The stupid old fool was to blame for that vision appearing in Harry's dream. Some of his magic must have been released because next thing he knew Gandalf and Ireth had burst into the room. Harry looked at the wall and saw that he had made a hole straight through the thick stone. Ireth sighed and Gandalf walked out chuckling to himself.

"Harry you need to rest. You look like you haven't had a good nights sleep in years."

"Maybe I haven't been having a lot of sleep. Every time I sleep my dreams are plagued with people I love dying."

"I know a way to stop that happening. It's a spell that I came across not too long ago to help a friend. I could perform it if you want."

"Yeah, thanks, I'd love to able to sleep for at least one night."

Ireth just smiled and stood next to the bed. Harry lay down and she started chanting in elfish. Harry couldn't understand it but he felt his eyes drift close. As soon as they closed he was asleep. He didn't even hear Ireth walk out or hear the wall being repaired. For the first time since Sirius died he was able to sleep peacefully.
