Chapter1 ~*~
Harry Potter and his two best friend's Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, sat in the Griffyndor common room, doing the homework their teachers had given them on the first day of school. Harry was glad to be back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and he knew his aunt and uncle were glad to be rid of him. Harry was now in his sixth year at Hogwarts. He sat staring out the common room window towards the Forbidden Forest.
"Harry! Harry, you'd better do your...," Hermione was saying when Harry saw something.
"Look there! Someone is coming! Out of the forest. Look," he said pointing
Ron and Hermione leapt up to look out the window. They saw, there on the lawn below, what looked to be four figures. Three were very tall and one was quite short. Two of the tall ones had something on their backs that no one could make out in the dim light. The figures were walking slowly, limping in pain towards the front doors.
Hermione looked around the empty common room and said, "We should tell someone."
"But who," Ron asked?
Harry thought a moment. Not knowing where any of the teachers were at this time of night, he said, "Hagrid! He'll help them."
"But we're not allowed to leave the castle at night," protested Hermione.
"Have you forgotten what Harry's got," Ron said surprised.
"Of course not. I just don't...," Hermione started, "Well, if those people are hurt, we had better get some help.
Harry ran upstairs and got his invisibility cloak, which he had received from Dumbledore his first year at Hogwarts. He came back down and they all snuck out the hole. They walked around a corner and put on the cloak. They went along silently until they came to the front door. Making sure no one was around, they slipped out. They ran as fast as they could to Hagrid's house, not noticing the company making their way slowly towards the steps.

"Someone will find us here," Gimli said painfully, his breathes coming out in gasps.
"Yes, this castle does not feel evil to me. It is big and dark so if we knock no one will hear us," Boromir said painfully setting Merry and Pippin down next to Sam and Frodo where Aragorn had laid them.
The Fellowship was in so much pain that they all fell unconscious on the great stone steps.

"Hagrid! Hagrid! Open up! It's us," Harry said banging on the door.
The familiar sound of Fang's barking met their ears. Then the sound of Hagrid coming to the door and finally the door being opened.
"Hullo Harry. Harry? How many times do I have haf ter tell yeh, don' come sneakin' ter see me. It's against school rules," Hagrid said. "It's an emergency," Hermione said.
"Oh, come in then," Hagrid opened the door wide, "Is yeh in?"
"Right here," Ron said throwing off the cloak.
"Now, what's the emergency," Hagrid asked?
"We saw some people come out of the forest a few minutes ago. They were goin' really slow like, and limping pretty badly," Harry explained.
"Really, come on then. We better go help them then. Where did yeh see em'," Hagrid asked?
"They were coming out by the Womping Willow," Ron said.
"Do you know who they were," he asked?
"No students here that's for sure," Hermione said.
"Not students anywhere," Ron said, "They were tall, full-grown men, least three of them were."
"Right, they was comin' towards the front doors then," Hagrid said.
"I guess so," Harry said thoughtfully.
"Well, they have already made it there then. Come on Fang! You kids ad' better put that cloak on. No tellin' who these people are," Hagrid said walking out the door, "Foller me!"
They followed Hagrid up to the castle. Silently, not making any sounds. Hagrid was right. When they reached the steps, there was not four but eight people. Three very tall men, one shorter man with a long bushy beard, and four small people that Harry thought looked like four very young children. All were unconscious.
"S' all righ'," Hagrid said, "You can take that off. They people in more danger than they are ter us."
"Oh, the poor things," Hermione said walking towards the little people.
"Hermione, go find Dumbledore," Hagrid said quickly.
Hermione nodded and ran up the steps in the main hall.
"Who are they Hagrid," Ron asked looking at the tall blonde man with pointy ears. "I don' know, but spose' Dumbledore'll know," Hagrid answered.
Harry didn't say anything. All he could do was wonder how these people had gotten so badly hurt and what if whatever did this to them had followed them here, to Hogwarts.

Hermione hadn't made it very far when she ran strait into Dumbledore himself.
"Hello, Miss Granger," Dumbledore smiled, "What brings you out this late and in such a hurry?"
"Headmaster," Hermione said surprised, "We saw these... and we snuck out... and found Hagrid... and now their out there... and I'm sorry. I know we shouldn't have left the common room."
"Now, Miss Granger. What are you talking about," Dumbledore asked his tone becoming more concerned, "Is someone hurt? Who is it?"
"I don't know, sir, but they're out there with Hagrid and Ron and Harry," Hermione said.
"All right, come on then. Show me the way," Dumbledore said quickly.

"This one here's an elf," Hagrid said.
"An elf, but he don't look a thing like Dobby," Ron was saying as Hermione and Dumbledore came out the doors.
"Oh my," Dumbledore said.
