A/N: I'm BA-ACK! You thought you'd be rid of me! You thought I'd gone! Well, YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!! I'll come in the night, in your dreams while your sleeping, and I'll steal all . . .your . . .MILK!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA! MUAHAHAHAHA! Ahem. Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. No, I am not dead. I had the flu and didn't feel like writing.

Legolas maniac: Meep! *cowers* All right already! I heard you! I'll put him in! Anyway, thanks for reviewing! =P Oh, and the reason Frodo thought that Hogwarts was more magnificent than Rivendell was because he had never seen anything like it before and Rivendell is kinda the first thing to come to mind when you think of something to compare it to.

Moonlight Sonata: Yeah, I love that scene too. Hehe, it's so funny when Gimli and Legolas fight.

Lausiek: Glad you like it! =D Sorry about the short chapters, but I have like zero time to type lately because of my evil teachers and their confounded piles of homework. DOOM AND GLOOM! -_-

Rehtaeh: Yup yup yup, don't worry, this won't be one of those weird fics where Dumbledore turns out to really be Gandalf. He just looks like him. =0 Anywayz, glad you like it!

Lausie: Thanks! =P

*sniff* Only five reviewers . . . Oh well! I'm still happy! Lalala . . . *dances offstage singing random songs* Be one with the cheese =P

Mist . . . shadows . . . trees . . . WHAT?! were Aragorn's first thoughts coming into consciousness. Jumping from his lying position onto his feet (A/N: A handy little skill warrior peoples have! =D), he drew his sword and looked around wildly.

Nothing recognizable.

Trying to contemplate (A/N: Another cool word!) the situation calmly and keep a cool head, he quickly thought of all possible theories on how he could have gotten to this place.

The last thing he remembered was touching the strange rock in the clearing . . . A light clicked on inside Aragorn's head.

It must have been a portal. Gandalf had told him of portals before; they would send the person or thing to a different universe entirely.

If that was what had happened, then Aragorn was in big trouble. It took extremely strong magic to open a portal from the opposite end and Aragorn, while a strong warrior, didn't have any magic in him whatsoever.

The only thing he could do was to try and find someone who could possibly help him.

Sheathing his sword, Aragorn strode off in the direction of Hogwarts, though he didn't know it at the time.

'Gandalf?!' Frodo cried incredulously. The old man looked down in surprise, not having noticed Frodo there at first.

'I'm sorry,' said the man kindly, 'But I am not Gandalf. I am Albus Dumbledore.'

'Oh.' said Frodo, looking down in embarrassment. It was true, upon closer look the man was not Gandalf. 'Sorry.'

'No offense taken. You are a hobbit, are you not?'

Frodo nodded.

'Ah. I presume you were sucked through a portal?'

Nodding again, Frodo wondered how this man could possibly have known about the portal.

'I see. Can you wait in here for the moment while I have a word with some of the staff members? I will be back shortly.'

Dumbledore and Hagrid turned and exited the study, leaving Frodo alone and very confused.

Now what? Frodo thought, but his thoughts were interrupted by a soft chirp from behind him.

A/N: Yes yes, another short chapter. *ducks under computer desk as fans roar and pull out tomatoes* But wait! The next chapter will be longer, I promise! Bet you can all guess what will happen next . . . muahaha . . . Anyhoo, who should I send through the portal next? Tell me in your review! Tootles.
