Harry's Unexpected Trip

Chapter 4

Harry was very frustrated. He had mysteriously landed on Middle Earth and the first person to befriend him, was now barely alive because of the fatal knife wound. The Lord of Rivendell, Elrond had told them how very little chance Frodo had of surviving and Harry remembered what Strider had said about Sauron enslaving Frodo if he died. Everyone, including the elves seemed extremely concerned for the ill hobbit. Harry and especially Sam spent a great deal of time by Frodo's side.

Everyone had seemed very surprised when they saw the young boy alongside the hobbits and Strider. During the rare occasions when Elrond wasn't tending to Frodo he asked Harry a million questions about his world. One thing was for sure, elves could win awards with their inquisitiveness. The only ones who could beat them were hobbits.

The elves in particular seemed very surprised seemed very surprised about the strange magic that Harry possessed. Harry in return thought it was strange how the elves looked so young, yet their wisdom far surpassed Dumbledore. Then he found out that the elves were immortal.

Not long after Harry had arrived in Rivendell, he finally met the fabled wizard Gandalf. Gandalf looked so much like Dumbledore that they could have passed for brothers. When Harry told him about his random appearance in Middle Earth, Gandalf seemed concerned. "So you were on your way to a friend's house and you all of a sudden landed here?" he questioned.

Harry nodded. "Yes exactly. I'm just worried because the powder looked a little strange, and poof here I am in a completely different world."

"I see. Do you know who might have done such a thing? Anyone who might be interested in harming you?"

Harry bit his lip. A moment later he answered the one thing he didn't want to even think about. "There is this evil wizard Voldemort who I defeated when I was one. Since then he was reincarnated and he's alive again. And I'm his #1 target."

Harry looked at the old wizard who was staring at him in amazement.

"Did you say you defeated a powerful wizard when you were a baby? If that's true then there must be some powerful magic residing in you. How on earth did you defeat him anyway?"

"Well, first off I am a wizard too." Gandalf gasped, but Harry continued. "The reason why Voldemort couldn't kill me is because my mom sacrificed herself for me. Then when the killing curse was performed on me it rebounded on him and gave me my scar (points at forehead). Though unfortunately last June he came back to life."

After a long pause Gandalf spoke again." So you say you can do magic. Show me something."

Harry took out his wand, pointed it at Gandalf and said "Petrifcus Totalus." Gandalf's body stiffened and then Harry performed the countercurse.

Gandalf looked at Harry smiling. "Quite some trick. Not the sort of magic that I would have expected. Where did you learn it?"

Harry smiled. "I go to a school called Hogwarts, where I learn it. I still have three years to go before I'm a fully qualified wizard though."

"That's very interesting. So you learn it at a school. On your world there must be a great deal of magical people. Here only the Istari, the wizards of my order can perform magic. Tell me all about your magical school."

For the next couple of hours, Harry told Gandalf everything. He started with the day Hagrid picked him up from the Dursley's and ended with the misfortunes of the third task of the Triwizard Tournament. Harry got depressed thinking about Cedric and Voldemort's rebirth, but for some reason he seemed to be able to trust Gandalf totally and so spilled everything.

Gandalf was absolutely fascinated by everything Harry had to say. When Harry was done Gandalf told him some about the magic of the Istari. Gandalf said that his magic was so complex that it would take a lifetime for Harry to learn. This was partially because of all the old languages involved and partially because it took tremendous power that took even Gandalf a long time to fully grasp.

Then Harry asked the question that was closest to his heart. "Can you send me home?" Gandalf gave Harry a sympathetic glance before he answered. "Harry the kind of magic that was used to put you here, was very powerful indeed. It would take a stronger power to reverse it. I will be able to send you home Harry, but not right now."

Harry was about to protest, but Gandalf put a hand up to silence him. "To send you back would take a great deal of time and energy. Both of which need to be used in order to fight the Darkness that is consuming Middle Earth. I was put here to do just that. I cannot abandon my work long enough to send you back. When this whole matter is cleared up I will then send you home. I promise it and Gandalf the Gray always keeps his promises. In the meantime you might want to consider joining in the fight. Or you might want to expand your mind by learning skills such as archery, fencing, lore, and the Elven language. This may help you sometime in the future. What do you want to do?"

"I will help you fight. Its not like I haven't fought evil all my life or anything."

"I see...and don't worry you will return home someday."

"I just hope that when I get there everyone will be alright."

"It doesn't help to worry Harry. And though you are not there with them, I am sure they will manage alright. From what you tell me they are intelligent and strong people, much like yourself."

"Mithrandir, we think he might be awakening soon. Come," said an elf motioning for them to follow him.

"So it seems like our young hobbit friend is a fighter after all. Let's go, shall we."
