Inside Mount Everest and the fight with Gollum

Harry looked at the gigantic mountain in front of him. He saw the snow capped summit up on top of the mountain. He looked again at the map Dobby had given him or actually given him directions to write since Dobby was still a ghost of a house elf or a high elf. Harry looked again at the mountain and looked at the map again.

He saw a cave on the side of the mountain on the map. It was named the cave of doom. Above that on the map Dobby had him write beware of Balrog for his own safety. Harry neither knew nor cared what a balrog was. All he could think about was the ring he was going to get. The ring of power that would subjugate the whole world to him. The only threat to him was now dead and with this ring he would rule Britain than the whole world.

Harry got directions from a Himalayan native to find where the cave of doom was. Harry walked on the main road up Mount Everest than came to a side road. He went up that side road and started going on a long trek. He walked and walked and walked until he found out that the road was enchanted to lead him away from the ring. He pulled out his wand and said simply in a elfish tongue, "ERU ADAKA SEYU MAYA SAYA DEUZA MON DEU ZVRA RING" The road started to shake and sputter, and then the road broke up and the piece of road Harry was on landed in front of a big wooden door.

He looked upon the inscription on the door and saw a riddle in dwarf speak. It went in English like this. "I GLITTER. MEN HAVE FOUGHT OVER ME FOR MILLINEUMS, I BUY YOUR GREATEST DREAMS AND TURN SOMETIMES INTO YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE. DWARFVES ARE MY CHILDREN, THEY KEEP ME UP IN MY OOLD AGE, AND WHAT AM I"

Harry looked up at the door and spoke in Dwarf speak the answer. The door opened and Harry walked inside.

He was standing in a large chamber. He walked through the chamber and found the inside of the Volcano. The lava had died down now and all that was left in her was ash. Harry lowered himself via magic into the crater. He searched all over until he found what he was looking for. He found a hardened claw with the Ring on it. Harry reached out to the claw and touched the Ring.

The claw clamped down hard on his hand squeezing it hard. Harry tried to pull away but the clawed figure started to rise. Finally the figure was up and it looked at Harry.

It was a weird grey thing. Harry had never seen anything like it. It looked at Harry and smiled evilly. "Stupid sneak thief thinks he can steal from Gollum." The grey thing said.

Of course, this was Gollum. According to Dobby, Gandalf had charmed him to come alive when anyone seeked the Ring. Harry tried to pull his hand out of Gollum's grasp but Gollum held firm. Harry felt pity for this creature so he tried something nobody had tried with Gollum before. He bribed him.

"Listen Sméagol, I can get you plenty of rings." Harry said.

The Sméagol personality came out and said, "You would do that for Sméagol."

"Of course I would." Harry said.

"No, the sneak thief is lying" Gollum said.

"No, I'm not, Sméagol, I'm your fried, Gollum is against you." Harry said.

"NO, Sneak thief is lying." Gollum said and in his rage he let go of Harry's hand. Harry took that moment to pick up a rock and lunge it at Gollum's head. Gollum was too fast and leapt on Harry. Harry threw in some good punches before Gollum picked him up and threw him fifty feet in the air. Harry used his magic to help him land on his feet.

Gollum howled in rage and leapt at Harry. Harry saw his chance then. He focused his wand on Gollum's Ring finger.

"SECTUMSEMPRA" Gollum's finger parted company from his hand and lay on the floor. Harry dodged Gollum and picked up Gollum's finger. He withdrew the ring and was fixing to put it on his hand when Gollum unleashed his true potential. Harry was knocked front, back, sideways, and crossways and with a haymaker to the chest Gollum brought him to the ground in a horrible crunching sound.

Gollum's assault had broken all of Harry's ribs and his left leg, and his right arm. Despite all this Harry never let go of the Ring. Harry picked up the ring with his left arm and with painful dignity put it on his right ring finger. All Harry's bones healed and Harry got up to his feet. He turned around to face Gollum but Gollum was collapsed on the ground. Harry ran and checked his pulse. Gollum was still breathing.

Harry sighed a sigh of relief but it was short lived. Harry heard a horrible angry roar from somewhere in the mountain. Harry stayed very still. Harry closed his eyes and listened. He heard fifty feet away some ragged breathing. But the only thing in the room was Gollum and he wasn't breathing like that. Harry stood very still.

Then suddenly from behind him, the crater he was standing in opened up and out came a…monster.

That was all Harry could do to describe it. It was a monstrous being made of smoke and fire. Then something Dobby had told him to written made since. "I guess I know what a Balrog is now."
