Wow, I re-read that when I was sane, and still cracked myself up!! Ah well, here's the next chapter
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione stopped in a clearing, gasping for breath. She could barely see the blonde hair swishing from side to side through the dense forest.
"Legolas!" Hermione yelled after him, and started running again. "Wait - for - me!"
Ron and Harry caught up with Hermione with ease, and stared at her as she struggled to keep up.
"You alright there 'Mione?" Ron asked, not even breathing hard.
She glared at him and picked up her pace. "Peachy." She ran hard and finally caught up with Legolas. He had stopped, however, and she ran into him, knocking her to the ground.
Legolas turned around. "You alright?" He offered a hand to her.
She took his hand, smiling. "Yeah, I am now."
Legolas nodded and turned around and pointed to a clearing in front of them. "I heard the scream from here. . .but I do not see Gimili. Perhaps he- "
"LEGOLAS!!!!!" Hermione nearly had a heart attack as a short little man with a braided beard ran up behind her, and jumped on Legolas's back.
"Ah! Gimili!" Legolas shouted in joy, spinning around, trying to get the dwarf off of his back.
"Legolas, there are Orcs! Many of them! I swung at one of them with my axe and they pointed a small stick at me, and muttered some odd words, and blew a hole in my trousers!" Gimili jumped off his back and spun around, showing a smoldering hole in the seat of his pants. He pointed behind him. "But they are unlike any Orcs I have ever seen! They have. . . clothes!"
Ron and Harry had arrived now and looked over their shoulders.
"Those are not Orcs, Gimili!" Hermione shouted.
"Professor McGonagall!" Ron shouted in dismay.
"Professor McWho?" Legolas turned around now, facing the green-clad old teacher. "Oh. . ."
"Ron! Harry! Hermione! I expected more out of you!" McGonagall's cold, disappointed voice rang in their ears.
"Professor! It's not what you think! We were helping Legolas-" Hermione began.
"Who?"
"-and Gimili!" Harry finished.
"WHO?!"
"THEM!" Hermione shouted, pointing at the two.
McGonagall looked up - and down - to look at Legolas and Gimili. Indeed she looked up to Legolas - literally - and down to Gimili. Her eyes widened with . . . interest? . ..when she saw Gimili.
Ron, who was watching Gimili, saw almost the same reaction from him. He was undeniably interested in the wrinkled teacher. He reached for her hand and kissed it.
"Good day, My Lady." Gimili smiled, a twinkle in his eye.
"Oh!" McGonagall blushed as her hand rose to her face.
Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Legolas all turned away, quite revolted.
"That was---" Ron began
"-just-" Harry continued.
"--not right, very --" Hermione tried to carry on.
"-wrong.-" Legolas finished for all of them. "Very wrong."
Ron, Harry, and Hermione all let out a low, feeble "yeah. . ."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Well! Indeed, not as entertaining as the first chapter, but it'll do. Hopefully the next chapter will be better. Read, and review if you'd like!! The first chapter, FYI, was written on New Year's Morning at 2 in the morning. :-)
