Hitomi: hey I'm glad to see people reviewing, and yes I do need a beta.*hint hint nudge nudge*unfortunately all my close friends into fanfiction are also not very good at spelling. Were all Japanese or Foreign language majors, and personally I think that has something to do with it. Please keep R+Ring, and when I find a beta, all the chapters will be replaced. I'm probably going to back track a few times myself, anyway, to add on more and fix some things.
Thank you to all who have reviewed, its wonderful to see you're comments. I know last chapter left off with allot of questions, and unfortunately they cannot all be answered right now. So you'll have to just wait it out and read up. . . and maybe review some too. Lol well here is chapter three!!
Chapter 3
Aspirat primo Fortuna labori
Harry sat with the others around the fire. Surprisingly he had gotten away without too many questions ask to him, and had learned allot, especially from the funny little hobbits that reminded him slightly of the Weasly twins. He had been explained what hobbits were, laughing at their love for food, and had been informed Legolas was an elf, and Gimli a dwarf. Harry had held back a tease on Gimli's hight and typical dwarf look, due to the fact he knew Gimli had yet to warm up to him. In all honesty he was surprised to see the hobbits except him so, and Legolas to only question him slightly.
It seemed to be bed time now, since the hobbits and Gimli had rolled out their sleeping gear and were now dozing off. Legolas had announced he would take watch, and sat silently across the fire from Harry, seemingly very taken by the stars.
"You may rest, if need be Harry," being addressed Harry turned and looked to the fair elf. Harry was quite attracted to him, and couldn't pry his eyes off his beautifully carved features. He had a long face with slightly higher cheek bones, long blond hair with brunet streaks running through it, and blue eyes that would pierce through your soul. He was very tall, had to be a good six to seven feet versus Harry's own five six, and from Harry could tell, said body was carved into a muscular perfection.
Shaking from his daze Harry smiled the best he could and shrugged," Sorry. I'm not really tired. It's so different here from where I come from," he paused looking away into the sky," It's quite. Peaceful almost. Where I'm from there is never a minute where you're not busy. Always on the go. It's so loud, even if you were to go into the deepest part of the forbidden forest, you would still hear all that live in it."Harry lost himself in memories and allowed himself a soft smile. How many times had he gone into said forest? He probably did it half the time because it had Forbidden in its name.
"Forbidden Forest? Why would it be forbidden?"Legolas soft voice had jerked him from his thoughts and he was surprised to see the elf sitting next to him now, studying his face. He would like to dream that Legolas was studying him in the same manner he did to the blond, but sighed. Dream was the important part of that thought, as for he discovered all to easily in the past, blond hot guys just wouldn't settle for Harry Potter.
Harry thought for a moment before opening his mouth," The Forbidden Forest is home to many beautiful, and many dangerous creatures. Its real name is the Ab Extra forest. It's called the Forbbiden Forest by the students of Hogwarts school and its professors, since students are not allowed in it," Harry watched as Legolas listened and seemed to take in every detail of what Harry said," Hogwarts is a school for young witches and wizards. I went there, to learn about magic and all the things that come along with becoming a fully fledged wizard."Harry focused his gaze to the moon murmuring," It is such a place of beauty and magic. The feeling you get when you walk into those halls, it's unreal. There is no name to it."
The two sat together for a long time before Legolas murmured," Do you wish to return? You mentioned how the spell you cast upon yourself led you here without you're knowing. "
"No," Harry replied quickly, attempting to keep the pain from his voice," There are too many bad memories. Though I wish it were not so, since it is the one happy memory I have. The one place I could call home."
Legolas frowned. The boy in front of him seemed to be fighting down his emotions, yet the elf could easily pick up the sorrow and hurt. Standing up he put a hand on the boys shoulder," Sometimes," he whispered when the young ones shining green eyes whipped to him," It is good to cry, and indulge in our pain when one is near another that can help take the burden."
Harry didn't know what to say. He had never so quickly felt drawn to a stranger. It wasn't just because the elf was attractive, this was something different. He felt that he needed to let the other in on everything in his life, lean on him, cry on his shoulder, allow the other to share his pain and lessen it. As these feelings rose in Harrys chest, so did uncertainty and Harry quickly shied away from his feelings. Accepting people into his heart was something that had only ended with hurt, and Harry's fragile soul wasn't sure if it could take anymore. So, closing himself off like he had for years, Harry pushed away Legolas's hand, ignoring the hurt blue eyes.
"I'm sorry," Harry murmured getting up," I think-"
Before Harry could try and straighten himself out enough to give Legolas a good answer, probably one beside 'we just friggen met! Are you kiddin' me?' since he was sure the elf wouldn't handle that too well, they heard a shriek in the distance. Harry froze, knowing all too well the sound, and not liking it.
Legolas quickly awoke the others of the party as Harry peered out into the darkness, attempting to see what lay beyond the moons silvery rays. Coldness suddenly lay around them, and the ground slowly began to cover with frost. Harry tried to keep his breathing in check as he looked ahead of them, still unable to see the dark cloaked monsters.
"They are monsters sent by an evil that has not shown its face," Hissed Legolas, and Harry jumped at the malice in the normally soft spoken elf's voice. The elf seemed pained, and Harry didn't blame him. Already he could feel a cold empty feeling in his heart, and all happiness and calm feelings were replaced by fear and hurt.
Suddenly a dozen or so black figures appeared from the darkness, coming to the group fast, and circling them. One came close to Pippen, who swiped his sword at it, but it did not good. It seemed to take a deep breath and seconds later the hobbit fell to his bottom.
"Pip!"Merry had rushed to his cousin's side, worry playing its role well on his face.
"What are they!?"Yelled Gimli as he through a smaller axe to one, only for it to imbed itself into its cloaked figure, and get pulled out. The figure had screamed a screechy, breathy scream but came upon Gimli and did the same thing to him as one of the other had to Pippen, only Gimli held strong and leaned himself over his axe.
Harry, unlike the rest, though, knew what these where," Stand back!"he yelled and held himself in front of the group, allowing himself feel the familiar feel of the holly wand in his hand before swishing his arm and yelling," Expecto Patronum!"
A silvery light jumped from the tip of his wand and quickly took shape into a stag and began rounding up the dementors. They quickly retreated and he expected that they had not expected anyone to know magic, much less a Patronus spell.
The stag walked up to him and he smiled," Thank you Prongs. That was great!"the stag laid its head on his shoulder before disappearing into a bright light.
"What was that,"Gimli looked pale, and Legolas held him and kept an eye on the weakened hobbit that was being held by Mery.
Harry frowned at them and pulled his shrunken trunk out of his pocket, and brought it back to its normal slight while explaining," Those were Dementors. Horrid creatures that feed off of any happiness or good feelings, making you feel cold and empty. They come from my world, and that spell I did was the Patronus charm. The only thing to keep them at bay. There is no way to kill them."
He pulled out a small bag of chocolate marbles, unwrapped and gave a couple to everyone in the party," This will help. Don't worry it's just chocolate," and as if to prove the fact that it was safe, he popped a few in his mouth too, trying to rid himself of the cold feeling in his heart and the screams of pain and suffering in his head.
After a few minutes of nervous chewing Gimli and Pippin looked allot better, giving Gimli the strength to begin interrogating him again," If those are from where you come from, how do we know you are not but as evil," Harry grimced as the dwarf continued his onslaught," You might have saved us, but anyone who has come from a place with such vile things cannot be good at all!"
Legolas laid a hand on his friends shoulder and gently consoled him," You must remember what we have been with too, Gimli. Did we not cross many dreadful creatures' paths on our way to destroy the ring?"
All company stood silent, and Harry quickly picked up on the fact that this was a very touchy subject.
Legolas looked up to Harry, continuing face devoted of emotion," you are very powerful, young Ishtari. Please aid us in ridding our home of evils such as this. I fear for the peace we have tried so hard to obtain might be broken soon, and many cannot handle any more evil then what they have seen."
After this was said another silence fell upon the four, and Harry knew not to ask. Though, he felt trapped, in a way he hadn't felt for almost 70 years. It was the same feeling he got when he knew he was destined to fight Voldemort, it was the same feeling he had before he went to save a friend, only to see many lost in the battles all leading up to the dark lords death. It held his heart in its hands, and he for a moment he felt like his eleven year old self, innocently oblivious while he sat in his hospital bed, looking for comfort to something he knew he would have to face alone.
Saying no was on its way to his mind. Yet the Griffindore in him never allowed it, instead came a strangled," I cant make any promises."
With that he turned to his trunk murmured,"Reducio." And took the now palm sized trunk and pocketed it once again.
The hobbits looked at him in a since of awe, and he saw the look of sudden respect, at least to his magic, that he got from the group," come on lets sleep." He said as he trudged away. He never wanted to be looked at like that, to become something great. He never wanted to truly be golden boy ever again.

"Yes my lord," said a smooth voice of a figure cloaked in dark green robes," I can gather the boy for you. I will owl you with the knowlge of whom his soul mate is once I find out for sure."
The man with long black hair on the throne chuckled,"Good. Now go. You are one of my most trusted wizards. I do not expect failure."
After that the man nodded and vanished with a loud pop.
The plan was now being set into motion.
