Chapter 6 ~*~
"I'm have ananouncment to make, please settle down," Dumbledore said at breakfast the next morning, "Now, this may be a dissappointment to some of you, but this weekends' Hogsmeade day has been canceled due to some unexpected events that have occurred."
"I'm gonna kill those Hobbits, or whatever they are," Malfoy snarled to Crabbe and Goyle as the Great Hall erupted in noise.
"Quiet, quiet please," said Dumbledore, "Thank you. Now, we have deemed that no one should leave the school alone. You should all travel in pairs. Do not leave your dormitories at night, under no circumstances may you leave." He looked at Harry briefly, "Prefects will fill you in on the matter after breakfast. So please go straight to your common rooms. Now, we should eat Tuck In."
Everyone ate quite quickly because they wanted to know the reason they had these new rules. Harry and Ron kept asking the Hobbits but they wouldn't say anything. Even Merry and Pippin were quiet. So, after breakfast, everyone filed up to the dormitories.
"Quiet! Quiet Please! I can't tell you if you aren't quiet," the Griffynor Prefect was saying. The students got quiet and the Prefect began to inform the students of their danger, "There is a great host of Orcs and Wraiths in the forest. They will do anything, kill anybody to get what they seek. If they find you, you most likely will not return. We do not know if they have found Hogsmeade yet, but this is just a safety precaution. If you do encounter one of these creatures. It would be best to hide. If they see you, you should try to get away using any means possible. It is best to travel in pairs or large groups. Do not travel alone. Use spells on them if they find you. That is all we can tell you. Keep safe and stay out of trouble. Thank you."
The students were all very confused but most decided not to ask questions. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had Defense Against the Dark Arts later that day and decided they would talk to Aragorn about the Orcs and Wraiths. The Hobbits decided they didn't want to go anywhere with Harry today so they said they would stay in the Common Room.
"All right," Ron said, "Stay if you'd like. Maybe you can find something to do."
"Yes, I think we will be fine," Frodo smiled weakly.
So, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. They took their usual seats and waited for Aragorn to come in. When the bell rang, he walked in quickly. Harry thought he saw the glint of something like a sword under Aragorn's cloak.
"Alright class," Aragorn said, "You all know that there are Orcs and other fowl creatures learking here. I am going to tell you what you are up against." Hermione raised her hand quickly. "Yes, Miss Granger?"
"Will we be tested on this," she asked?
"No, I do not think so. I am only going to be here for alittle while. I do not think your teacher will test you on this," Aragorn smiled, "Although you may be tested on this in real life if you are not careful. I have fought these things before. They are unlike anything you have ever seen or encountered before. The Wraiths. They are the most fowl creature you will ever see. And I hope that you never see one."
The class was quiet. They wanted to learn more from this stranger. He seemed so wise and kingly at times. At others, he was just a man. A man who wanderered all the time.
"Wraiths. They were once kings of men. They took the rings offered them and became the slaves of the Dark Lord Sauron. Nine of them. They are neither living nor dead. They can not see the living world that we are in, but they see in the shadow world, which you do not have to worry about. They have a very good sense of smell and even better sense of hearing. I tell you this, do not try and stab them with a blade you may have or any other weapon you may posscess. You will be turned into a Wraith like them. I may be able to help, but I do not know if you have the plants I need here. The only defense you can give yourself is fire. They hate fire. I do not know what spells you have for fire, but use them if you ever come in contact with them. I regret to say, if they stab you with their swords, you will be lost forever. You do not have the elfish medicine here that would be needed to bring you back."
The class was shocked. They didn't know how they would be able to defeat something you cannot kill. They were quiet though, and listened to the rest of the lesson. Aragorn explained about the Orcs and he told of the creature Gollum that they had with them. He was careful to not say anything about the ring that Frodo bared. When class was over, the students were speechless. They didn't want to meet any of the creatures that Aragorn has spoke of. They all went to their next class quietly. All thinking of a way they could be saved if an Orc jumped out from behind the next corner.

When the kids had left the Common Room, the Hobbits decided they would leave too. They were going to go find Legolas and Gimli. None were reluctant to leave the castle. They needed to get out of the stuffy corridors and just relax. But they knew they couldn't just relax anywhere without the proper protection, not with the Wraiths after them again. So, they headed for Hagrid's cabin where they hoped Legolas would be. They knocked on the cabin and heard a great barking sound. They screamed and jumped back when the door opened. There stood Hagrid with Legolas and Gimli and a big dog.
" Ello' young Hobbits. Ow' may I elp' yeh," Hagrid smiled.
"We wish to see Legolas," Frodo said nervously watching the dog.
"Well, come in then," he said opening the door.
"If you don't mind, Legolas, we want to see the grounds a little more. We know we shouldn't be out alone, so we came to ask you if you would like to come with us," Frodo smiled hopefully.
"Of course," said Legolas standing and coming to the door, "Hagrid, I will see you later."
"Oh, Alrigh'" he said as they left.
"Why did you ask me and not Aragorn or even Boromir," Legolas asked when they had got away from the cabin?
"Well, Aragorn is teaching now. And I would ask Boromir, but for the warning in my heart," Frodo sighed, "I cannot get what Galadrial told me out of my head. I fear Boromir. I do not fear that you will take it from me. Even if I offer it to you freely." He held out the Ring for Legolas to see.
Legolas stood for a moment as if in a deep thought. He smiled and bent down. He closed Frodo's hand and stood, "I will not take it form you. It would do great evil through me. I would never willingly take it, even if it was offered to me by the Counsil. I will protect you Ring Bearer."
And so the Hobbits and the Elf wandered around the grounds joking and laughing and playing games. Frodo knew Legolas had passed the test. He only wished that he was back home in the Shire enjoying a party or just wandering in the woods. He knew that if he failed, life would never be the same.
"But how can I accomplish my task if I am here on Earth. I fear that I will never return home. Poor Sam and Merry and Pippin. I can see it in their eyes. They long for the comforts of the Shire just as I do. Gandalf and Dumbledore will find a way to get us back. They will send us and the creatures of Mordor back and then I will not fail," Frodo thought as they walked along the shores of the lake.
