Chapter 7 ~*~
Merry and Pippin sat in the common room eating some carrots that they barrowed from Hagrid and talking about the many things they used to do.
"Do you remember Bilbo's 111th birthday," Merry asked looking at the fire?
"That was fun," answered Pippin happily.
"I miss the Shire," Merry said sadly.
"Me too," Pippin sighed, "But, don't worry. We'll get back there again. Gandalf will get us back. And anyway, we can't let Frodo down. We have to be there for him."
"You're right Pip," Merry smiled as Harry and Ron came in the door followed by two red headed twins that looked much like Ron, "Hello Ron, Harry."
"Hey guys," Harry smiled.
"We'd like you to meet Fred and George," Ron smiled stepping back so his brothers could be seen, "Fred, George, this Merry and Pippin."
"Hello," Merry and Pippin said together.
"I'm Fred and this is George," Fred smiled, "Mum said there was some strange visitors here so we had to come check it out."
"We sent Ron an owl telling him to meet us outside here cause we wanted to meet you," George said.
"What do you mean you sent him an owl," Merry asked?
"Where did you say they were from," Fred whispered to Harry.
"Middle Earth," Harry answered.
"Whereever that is," Fred muttered.
"They sent me a letter," Ron explained, "We use owls to carry our letters to different magic folk."
"Tis' a strange place, this Earth," Pippin whispered to Merry.
"Very strange," Merry sighed.
"I hope that this doesn't offend you but, what are you," George asked?
"We are Hobbits," Merry smiled standing up.
"Or, as some people call us Halflings," Pippin said following suit.
"Never heard of Hobbits or Halflings before," said Fred.
"Not many people here have," Merry smiled, "Ron are these the your brothers that we were supposed to meet?"
"Yeah," Ron answered, "We'd better get some sleep. We'll let you guys talk. And remember, you guys aren't supposed to be here so don't let anyone see you," Ron said going up the stairs followed by Harry.
"Don't let anyone see who," said a sleepy voice from the top of the stairs.
"Hermione," Harry sighed, "What are you doing here?"
"I heard voices and wanted to know who was still up, we have classes in the morning you know," Hermione said pushing her way past Harry and Ron, "What are you two doing here? You aren't supposed to be here. You know that."
"Oh Great. Hello Hermione. Pleasant seeing.," George began.
"Quiet Fred," Hermione snapped.
"He's George. I'm Fred," Fred sighed, "Can't you tell us apart yet?"
"Of course I can but not when I am woke up in the middle of the night," Hermione whispered angrily.
"Oh calm down. We were leaving before anyone got up anyway," George said.
"Well. I won't tell anyone. But I better not see you in the morning," she said turning and going back upstairs past Harry and Ron.
"That was lucky," Ron whispered, "Better not talk to loudly. Anyway, see ya this summer."
"Good to see you guys again," Harry waved and followed Ron upstairs.
"Bye," the twins said together.
So, the four trouble makers stayed downstairs all night talking about the many things they had done. The twins gave the Hobbits tips on where to go and what to do. And so the sun began to rise and the Hobbits found it hard to keep their eyes open. Fred and George said good-bye and snuck out of the common room and to the secret passage they had used to get in.
~*~
Harry got up the next morning and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast. They smiled when they passed Merry and Pippin asleep in the chairs. They went to breakfast and sat down next to Hermione.
"Hello Hermione," Harry said.
"Morning Harry," she answered not looking up from the book she was reading.
"What are you reading," Ron asked taking a bite of his toast.
"A book on ancient creatures that have long been extinct from this world," she answered.
Legolas walked over to the table and sat next to Frodo and Sam.
"Where are Merry and Pippin," he asked?
"They are asleep in the Common Room," Harry said.
"Why are they not here stuffing their faces," Legolas smiled.
"They stayed up too late," Ron said.
"I see," Legolas said, "Well, remember to be careful out there. I must go check on them."
"Bye," Frodo smiled as Legolas got up and left the Great Hall and headed towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"We have care of Magical Creatures first," Ron said to Harry.
So, they are and headed down to Hagrid's cabin. It was a quiet morning. The three friends walked silently towards the cabin with the other students. Before they got there, though, a strange creature ran out of the forest. It had a spear in its hand and a shield in its other hand. It roared and ran straight at Harry. The other students ran away. Malfoy and Crabbe and Goyle were at the head of the group of retreating students. Harry, Ron and Hermione ran towards Hagrid's cabin as fast they could go. They were cut off by more monsters. The Orcs ran from the forest and surrounded them.
"Harry," Ron whispered.
"Yes Ron," Harry whispered back.
"I think we're gonna die," he squeaked.
"Be quiet," Hermione said pulling out her wand, "I need to think of a good spell."
But before she could do anything, the Orcs rushed in. The kids were sure they were gonna die. Suddenly a bright light flashed from Hermione's wand and stopped the nearest Orcs to her. It shrieked and ran off towards the forest. Before it got very far, it fell dead from an arrow to the head. The Orcs nearest to Harry and Ron flew backwards as Gimli rushed in, his new axe ready for battle. Legolas shot his arrows faster than Harry thought possible. Finally, all the Orcs were dead. The kids were very frightened but amazed.
"That was bloody brilliant," Ron said.
"What were those," Harry asked?
"Orcs," Gimli hissed, "Fowl creatures from the depths of Mordor."
"Yes, Aragorn told us about them," Hermione smiled.
"Thank you," Harry said to Legolas, "for saving us."
"You welcome. Come now. Back to the castle. Go to your common room and tell Frodo not to leave. We need to talk to Albus," Legolas said walking towards the school followed by Gimli, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
A/N: Okay, so this chapter is not the best chapter in the world, but I'm running out of ideas. I hope you liked it though. I tried to focus more on Harry in this chapter but it didn't work out. Don't ask what spell Hermione used cause I have no clue. Please review. Tell me where I can change things and give me ideas. Thanks a lot. Bye Y'all!
