Chapter 2
Harry
Harry awoke to a pounding headache. He looked around and all he saw was rocks and a large black lake. Harry turned and saw Hedwig flying towards him with a mouse in his mouth. Midnight was running under the owl and it looked a lot like they were racing. Harry smiled for the first time in what seemed like years. When they finally reached him, Hedwig sat on his shoulder and Midnight lay down next to him, basking in the afternoon sun. Suddenly Midnight's ears twitched, and she sat up, fully alert.
"What is it, girl?" He asked petting her head with his small hand.
Harry looked at his hand, all concerns for the panther gone. He suddenly remembered what the lady who had visited him had said.
"I will have to make you an Elfling to heal your injuries quicker. You will look like a child, expect for your ears, as they will be pointed. Harry, elves are immortal and are much older than they seem"
Midnight, pulling Harry out of his thoughts, growled. He was about to ask what the matter was, but then heard the voices. A group talking in a strange language. Harry looked around and saw a rather large rock. He got up and limped behind it.
Fellowship
Gandalf led the way to the entrance to the mines.
"There is a simple password, 'The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria, speak friend and enter.'"
Gandalf tried and tried, saying almost every word in Dwarfish and Elvish he could remember. Pippin, getting extremely bored, starts skipping rocks on the lakes cold, black surface.
"Stop," Aragorn said, grabbing the Hobbit's arm before he could throw another rock. "There are creatures in this lake that you do not want to wake."
Pippins setting the rock down sat on a rock and pouted.
"I have it! It's a riddle!" Frodo said, standing up. "What's the Elvish word for friend?"
Gandalf, standing up said one word, "Mellon" and the door slid open reveling a dark passage.
Harry
Harry watched everything. But when the door slid open to reveal a dark passage, he stood up quietly to follow. It was that then he noticed he was wearing a dark green cloak. Slipping the cloak's hood over his dark hair, he smiled to himself. Suddenly he heard a strange noise, and turned around. It was a giant squid coming out of the water. The creature reached out its large arm and grabbed onto the dark-haired hobbit. Harry gasped then spoke one word.
"Sword," The sword of Godric Gryffindore appeared in Harry's hand with a fiery glow. One of the men looked over at the sudden flash of light, but the others just kept on fighting the monster. Harry jumped up from behind the rock and sliced the nearest arm off of the squid. The sound the squid made was horrible. With the burning sword slashing through its arm, it shrieked and let go of the Hobbit.
Fellowship
Frodo fell to the ground with a thud. As Sam, Pippin and Merry went to see if Frodo was all right, said Hobbit got up and said,
"I'm alright. Just shaken up a bit. But who was the person that cut off the Craken's arm?"
The Fellowship looked at Harry, who now stood leaning on Midnight. Harry's sword vanished, leaving him with his hands empty. When Midnight started to stand in front of him and growl, he spoke in Elvish,
"Midnight, down girl." The Panther stopped growling, but sat in front of Harry.
"What are you doing here?" Aragorn asked, stepping up to the small figure.
"I was sent, from a different world, by Lady Nienna of the Valar." At his words, Legolas gasped. The Valar has sent only one other person, and his end came soon after that.
Bromir turned to Gandalf and said, "can someone explain to me what they are talking about?" Gandalf just shook his head and stepped forward to confront the small figure in a green cloak.
"Why were you sent here?" Gandalf asked, loosening his grip on his staff.
"Everyone I once knew is dead. Nienna sent me here for a second chance on life." Harry said, his voice lacking all emotion.
Aragorn went over to the Hobbits, Bromir, and Gimli to explain everything.
"But why? Why is everyone dead? Surely not everyone." Legolas protested, concern in his voice.
"No, not everyone, but everyone I loved, cared about. My parents were murdered when I was just one, my godfather a few years ago, and everyone else, my friends and their families, just recently." Harry replied then sat down.
Legolas went to converse with Gandalf. "Should we take him with us through the mines? And after, leave him with Galadrial at Lothlorien?"
Gandalf thought about the suggestion for a moment then answered, "Lets try your idea. It might even work."
Legolas smiled and then said, "You say that like I don't have many good ideas." Gandalf chuckled and then walked away to go tell Aragorn of Legolas' 'great' idea.
Harry
When Harry saw Gandalf walk away to go talk to Legolas, Aragorn came over to talk to Harry.
"Hello" Aragorn said in Elvish, sitting across from Harry. Harry looked up and nodded, but didn't say anything to the man. Aragorn smiled but tried again.
"My parents died when I was young too. My father died battling Orcs and my mother brought me to Rivendell to be fostered by the elves there. She died soon after." Harry looked up and after a long pause said,
"My mother and father were murdered by the same person. I was left with my aunt and uncle, who made my life a living hell, because my godfather was put in prison for something he didn't do." Harry fell silent again and Aragorn stood up to leave. "I know how you feel. Sometimes, even though I was with one of the best not-family family a person could ever have, I still felt alone and out of place." And with that said, he turned around to leave.
Fellowship
Gandalf watched the confrontation of Aragorn and Harry with wonder. As Aragorn turned to leave, Gandalf caught up with him.
"That was a good thing you did for him." Gandalf said as they walked back to the rest of the Fellowship. "We are going to invite him to travel through the mines with us and then leave him with Galadrial in Lothlorien."
Aragorn thought about this for a moment and said, "That is a good idea. Would you talk to him and ask him?"
"I will have Legolas do it. He is natural with almost everyone and has a nice sense of humor."
The pair reached the temporary camp. Aragorn sat down, and Gandalf went to talk to Legolas. Legolas got up and went to talk to Harry. A few minutes later, Legolas come back with Harry walking behind him, with Hedwig and Midnight following close behind. Gandalf explained the situation to the rest of the group. Gimli stood up and said,
"Let us see if he is able to travel with us through the domain of my ancestors." He started to walk over to Harry but Gandalf stopped him.
"He has gone through enough without you badgering him. Just leave him alone for now."
Gimli sighed but sat down and mumbled something under his breath. Gandalf stood and announced to the group,
"Let us go into the mines while the time is right."
The group picked up their packs and went into the mines. Suddenley the doors closed and there was darkness all around the now expanded group. The only noise they heard was Bromir exclaiming,
"This isn't a mine, it's a tomb."
They were trapped inside of a tomb with no way out but forward.
A/N: I'm sorry for the extreamly long wait. I have started the next chapter and will post it sometime within the month of March. On a happier note, 59 reviews in two chapters! Thanks!
I am thinking about adding someone else from Harry Potter into the story. Here are your choices for a poll;
Draco Malfoy
Fred and George Weasely (either you get both or none at all)
Bellatrix Lestrange
Severus Snape
Thanks! And remember to vote in your review! (poll closes in chapter 4.) I will take your votes into consideration but if I have a really good idea for one of the characters, I will put him/her in and work with that.
