Chapter 1
Harry, Ron and Hermione were in the Gryffindor common room. Rain was hitting the window.
"What do you want to do?" asked Ron.
"I don't know. Hermione?" said Harry.
"What?" snapped Hermione from behind her book.
"What're you reading?" asked Ron with a little interest.
"The Lord of the Rings," said Hermione with enthusiasm.
"What's it about?" asked Harry.
"Too complicated to explain. I'll lend it to you, if you like," replied Hermione.
"No thank you," said Harry, looking at the size of the book. "I'd probably take the whole year and the next to read it, what with all the homework Snape's giving us.
"Who's written it?" asked Ron.
"J.R.R Tolkien. He was a muggle. It's a lot like the wizarding world. Except for the Hobbits.
"Hob-what?" asked Ron.
"Hobbits. They're a lot like human beings, except they've got hairy feet and pointed ears and are about four feet tall. They don't age very fast. And this books got elves too, only they're much different." She heaved a big sigh. Ron, sensing a lecture on elf rights coming on, continued to speak.
"In what way?"
"I can't tell you the whole story," snapped Hermione. "Read the book, if you want to know."
Just then, an owl flew in through the half open window. It was soaking wet. It was also jet block in color, which was unusual for an owl. It flew straight to Harry and dropped a little box onto his lap. The box had a little note attached to it. Harry picked up the box and read the note out loud.
Dear Harry,
How are you? There's a ring inside this box. Wear it as soon as you open it. I'll explain later. Take care of yourself.
Sirius
"Open it, Harry," said Ron excitedly. Hermione looked a little uncomfortable.
Harry open the box. Inside as a golden ring, a bit like a wedding ring.
"Harry, Idon't think you should wear that ring," said Hermione.
"You're being bossy again," said Ron with a frown. "Why should'nt he, anyway?"
Before anyone could say anything else, Harry had put on the ring. The next second, he had vanished.
"Harry?" said Hermione. "I told you he shouldn't have worn that ring," said Hermione looking at Ron angrily.
But the next second Ron and Hermione had vanished too, to be seen in Hogwarts only a year after.
