Harry Potter and The Black Sword
Chapter 3
The Forest of the Black Sword
It was very dark, this far in the forest, in the Black Sword Forest. A little group of Erklings were sitting around a small campfire, getting drunk. They passed their bottles of Fire Whisky and laughed as Ivory told the story of when he "met" Harry Potter.
"...then he said "the what??" Ivory said. Then they all burst out laughing.
"How stupid humans are!, said Ugo, another small Erkling, The other day, me was walking in bush, and little girl wanted to play with me! But, me eat little girl. She don't want to play no more!"
They talked about the stupidity of humans for a while until they all fell asleep. It was about 10pm when a crackling noise was heard. One of the Erklings, Tofu, awoke.
"Who walks in the Forest of the Black Sword?!"screamed the little Erkling.
"Who..who are you?" replied the voice of Neville Longbottom.
"No..no! The question is...who are you!" played Tofu.
"My name is...Neville" replied the quivering voice.
"Well hello Neville, my my, you do sound tasty!" said Tofu, smacking his lips.
A small, high pitched, petrified scream was heard. The Erkling laughed and laughed. He then ran out, grabbed Neville, and in an instant, Neville was tied to a tree with a small circle of Erklings around him.
"What do you want from me?" asked a sobbing Neville.
"No, what do you want from us?! Why do you come in our forest little fat boy!"
"I ... I ... I don't know! I was walking in the woods behind my house and found myself here. I want to go hoooooooommmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeee!!" cried Neville
"Calm down little boy! Hummm, me see you before. Yes...yes, said Yugo, circling Neville, you know Harry Potter! Me see you with him! Oh, me have idea! You bring letter to Mr Potter, and we let you go home. Do you agree?"
"Yes, anything to get me back home!"
"Here, give this to Harry Potter! If you do not, we shall see you again...soon! No, go off!" said Yugo the Erkling as he gave a letter to Neville.
Neville ran and ran as far away as possible from the cackling sound. He didn't stop running(and tripping!) until he got out of the forest. He found himself in the middle of a deserted street. No house nor human could be found anywhere. Neville sat down in the street and started to cry. He got up, tied up his shoes, buckled up his cloak and started to walk, following the winding street. He walked for two hours until he go to a little village called Aylmer. He looked at his money pouch, to see if he had any money. Lucky for him, he still had a couple of Galleons left from is shopping he did in Diagon Alley that day. He stopped in at a little inn to eat, he was starving. While eating his fish & chips, he took out the letter Yugo had given him. It said:

Dear Mr. Potter,
You may have escaped us the first time, but we will be prepared the next time. Our master is very mad! If you do not come willingly, then we shall use force! We shall see you soon Mr. Potter.
Ivory the Erkling
The Forest of the Black Sword


Neville gasped at the letter. 'I have to help Harry!' thought Neville, with more courage than he actually felt.
"Do you want anything else dear?" asked a kind old lady.
"What? Oh..no. Thank you." replied Neville, smiling.
"I'll be back with your bill"
While Neville was waiting, he suddenly realized he was in a muggle place, so they would want muggle money, but he only had wizard money. He got up and ran from the inn, the little witch screaming behind her counter. Neville ran and ran and didn't stop for about thirty minutes, until he ran out of breath. He looked around and realized he had no idea where he was. Where could he go, he only had wizard money. Neville looked at his watch, it was almost midnight. He sat on the side of the road, and was starting to get very sleepy, and very scared. He could hear owls, and other night creatures. Flocks of bats were flying around. He got up and went into the field, took out his cloak, laid himself down, and fell asleep, crying.



Ok, so there wasn't any Voldemort! I couldn't fit him in. But, I did put in more Erklings! Stay tuned for the next chapter!
Next Chapter: I'm not going to say anything, because I am not sure myself!
