A/N: Oh gosh, I'm sorry I've taken so long to update! It's just that I had zero time due to evil teachers and their army of zombie homework assignments. Oh, and add three different class projects to that. -_- On a happier note, happycrazywow yay and hyperness! I've finally broken fifty reviews! *does Kit's Little Funky Dance (tm)* Butterbeer and cookies for all! *hands out cookies and butterbeer to those in audience*
Lady Foxfire: If you had just been sucked through a portal to God knows where, wouldn't you be a little jumpy? Legolas was just a bit on the edgy side from the whole ordeal, and when he spotted Frodo and Aragorn walking around with someone he didn't recognize, he just sorta flipped out. But yeah. Anyway. *cackles evilly*
Moonlight Sonata: OH NO! I'M RUNNING OUT OF STORIES! *flips out* NOOOOO! *falls down to the floor* Struck by lightning, struck by lightning! *gets up again* 0_0 Ooh, lookit all da pretty mithril stuff! *eyes grow really big* Anyhoo, not sure I'll make the rock come to life. Maybe I'll make Boromir trip and hit his head on it. Then he can get amnesia! *giggles stupidly* Fun fun fun!! . . . Or maybe I won't. I'll just have to wait and see.
Lausie: I dunno how I'll do it. Maybe I'll take your suggestion. Oh well, I'll just stick to the ones I already have in Harry's world for now.
Midnight: *cackles evilly* Give my creation LIFE! *runs around in circles screaming for ten minutes, then forgets what she was excited about* Don't worry, no cliffies this chapter, honest! *is crossing fingers behind her back*
Silver Saffire: *pats gold-plated computer lovingly* Don't worry, it works just fine. Here, I'll demonstrate! *whacks random audience member with computer* *RAM falls over unconscious*
Smallfry: You betcha!
Reigh Evenstar: Thank you!
Tinttinabulation: Well, *someone* has to keep those rascals out of trouble! ^_^
Legolas Maniac: Yay! You're back! *hugs trophy* Thank you! *whacks RAM with it* Glad you like how I wrote Legolas; I was sick of seeing fics about a sickeningly perfect Legolas, so he won't be that way in my stories. *stares around at the horde of orcs* . . . I WANT YOUR SOULS!!!!!! *the orcs scream loudly and run away*
Morodiel Dunna: *wipes saliva off of screen* I totally agree about the Lawn Gnomes! *nod nod* They're going to take over the world someday!
Burning Phoenix: Glad you like it! Don't worry, plenty more Legolas to come!
Rehtaeh: Yeah, history projects suck, don't they? Heh, I liked the Legolas thing too. Personally, I can't stand fics that make him out to be a perfect hero. I believe that he, like everyone else, has his own faults. Like falling out of trees while he's asleep ^_^ lol. And about Frodo, he does seem to have a knack for getting himself into silly situations like that. And don't worry, Aragorn has plenty of scenes in the rest of the story . . . in fact, I think you'll like this chapter! *cackles evilly*
A Smile: *sighs* Yes, I seem to be incapable of writing long chapters. But don't worry, this chappie should be longer than the last ones. :)
Whew! I'm getting more reviews than I thought possible! On with the fic! Oh yeah, and for all you Harry-lovers out there, you're in for a treat!
'Sam? Sam! Wake up!' Sam heard these voices as if from afar. Slowly he opened his eyes. Merry's grinning face filled most of his vision.
'Oy, Pip! He's awake!'
'Ooh, where am I?' Sam moaned, sitting up.
'Dunno,' said Merry cheerfully. 'Great flash of white light's all I remember, then whammo! Here we are!'
'Doesn't really matter, anyway.' said Pippin. 'Hey!' He spotted the peach that they had been fighting over lying on the moss next to him. Picking it up, he bit into it, causing juice to dribble down his chin.
'Doesn't matter? DOESN'T MATTER?!' shouted Sam, getting to his feet. 'WE'RE LOST IN SOME FREAKY PLACE AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS 'DOESN'T MATTER'?!'
Ignoring him, Pippin tossed the remainder of the peach away and looked around for other edible things. 'I'm still hungry. See anything good, Merry?'
Merry looked around, and then spotted something through a gap in the trees. He grinned.
'Come on, mates, I think I see something that'll do just the job!'
* * * (A/N: Just to let you know, we last left off with Dumbledore, Frodo, Aragorn and Legolas, who were going to investigate the roar coming from Hagrid's hut.)
'What was that?' said Frodo.
'It would appear that Hagrid is very angry at something,' said Dumbledore. 'We had best go and see what's wrong.'
Running towards Hagrid's hut, Frodo spotted two very familiar red-headed figures dash past, closely followed by Hagrid, who was wielding a shovel.
'Run, Merry!' shouted one of the figures.
'I'm going as fast as I can, Pip!' shouted the other.
'PEREGRIN TOOK AND MERRY BRANDYBUCK! STOP RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE!' bellowed Aragorn as he recognized them.
Pippin stopped dead in his tracks, but Merry, who was still running, cannoned into him and sent the two of them sprawling into a patch of brambles.
'Rubeus? What happened here?' asked Professor Dumbledore curiously as Aragorn hauled the two mischievous Hobbits from the thorny brambles.
'Th-they were raidin' my strawberry patch!' Hagrid said, and he almost looked close to tears. Anyone who knew him well enough knew that he had a fierce love for anything that grew in his garden.
Aragorn glared sternly at Merry and Pippin. 'Well? What have you got to say for yourselves?'
'Sorry!' they said in unison, each of their faces liberally stained with strawberry juice. 'We were just hungry,' Merry added innocently.
'Hungry?!' panted a new voice. Everyone turned to look and saw Sam jogging towards them, out of breath (A/N: Merry and Pippin left him behind when they ran off to raid the strawberry bushes! ^_^) 'They've done nothing but beg for food since the moment we left to search for-' He suddenly noticed Frodo. 'MISTER FRODO!' He hurled himself onto his friend.
'Sam, I'm fine! Get off!' Frodo protested as Sam tried to check his pulse.
'I know you're fine, Mister Frodo, but I'm just making sure!'(A/N: Just a little note to all you people who are thinking what I know you are, this is NOT slash! I HATE slash, and will never, ever write it. Sam is just over concerned with Frodo's safety, that's all.)
Dumbledore smiled and turned to Merry and Pippin, who were now looking truly guilty at having stolen the strawberries.
'We didn't know they belonged to someone,' said Pippin. 'We never would have taken any if we had known.' (A/N: Riiiiiiight . . .)
'Aw, it's okay.' said Hagrid, who was extremely softhearted. 'No real damage done.'
'Well,' said Dumbledore. 'We should probably go back up to my office and decide what's to be done with you all.'
* * *
Within an hour, Frodo, Aragorn, Legolas, Sam, Merry and Pippin were all sitting in Dumbledore's office, bored out of their minds. Dumbledore had told them that because it was spring vacation, there were very few students in the castle. Therefore it would probably be all right for them to look around. But after exploring every nook and cranny of the floor Dumbledore's office was on and the one above it, they were running out of ideas to keep them selves occupied.
'We could play a game,' suggested Sam. 'All right,' said Aragorn, 'Just as long as it's not-'
'Hide and seek!' exclaimed Pippin.
' . . . that.' Aragorn finished.
'I'm game,' said Frodo.
'I'd prefer to sit out, if you don't mind.' said Legolas, who had just picked one of the books in Dumbledore's bookshelves.
'That's fine.' said Merry.
'Yeah, me too.' said Aragorn, starting to sidle over to the bookshelves, but four pairs of hobbit hands grabbed him.
'Oh no you don't! You're playing too!'
Aragorn scowled. 'Why do I have to play when Legolas doesn't have to?'
'Because I'm better than you.'
'Oh, be quiet.' Aragorn growled at the smirking elf.
'Stop arguing, children.' Merry said, much to the annoyance of Aragorn and Legolas. 'Now,' He pointed to Aragorn. 'You start counting, and we'll go and hide.'
With a look of despair that clearly said 'Why me?', Aragorn turned to the wall and began to count.
'One . . . two . . . three . . .' After awhile, Aragorn had given up on counting and was just staring at the wall.
'What's the matter? Lost count?' asked Legolas.
'Shut up.' Aragorn said flatly. Legolas grinned and went back to his book.
Finally, Aragorn judged that enough time had passed and left the office to search for the hobbits.
'Why? Why of all games to play it had to be this?' he muttered to himself as he stomped down the corridor.
Entering the library, he looked around. No sign of them here . . . Wait! He spotted a figure sitting at a table with its back facing him.
Short, skinny, slightly messy black hair . . . For a moment Aragorn wondered why Frodo had picked such a lame hiding place.
Sneaking up behind him, Aragorn grabbed his shoulder. 'Found you, Frodo!'
Letting out a panicked shout, Frodo whirled around and punched Aragorn in the face.
He stumbled backward, bewildered. Then he realized that it wasn't Frodo! (A/N: Wouldn't that be so embarrassing? *dies laughing*)
Blushing furiously, Aragorn stammered out an apology to the boy he had mistaken for Frodo. 'I'm very sorry, I thought you were someone else.'
The boy, who appeared to be in his early teens, slowly lowered his fists, which he had been holding in front of him.
'It's all right,' he said. 'You just scared me a little.' He held out his hand. 'My name is Harry.'
'Mine is Aragorn,' said Aragorn, shaking Harry's hand.
Harry, who had just opened his mouth to ask Aragorn why he was in Hogwarts, was interrupted by a piercing scream coming from the floor above.
A/N: BWAHAHAHA! ANOTHER cliffie! I LOVE cliffies! *jumps around in a circle screaming about cliffies* Anyhoo, bet you can't guess who the screaming person is! Actually, you probably can! But so what! Review or I shall turn you into a rainbow-colored monkey! Tootles!
