A/N Kay, I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry it is taking me
soooooooooooooooooooo long to update. I have a lot of school stuff to do
but don't worry, I will finish this story and I plan on writing more. Did
I mention that I'm Really Sorry? Oh yeah and for you pplz who really want
to get technical, if they could get back the way they came, there wouldn't
be a story and if there was no story then you wouldn't be reading this.
Okay, so the stupid portal thing, it is in the air and they don't exactly
know where. It is invisible and even Gandalf doesn't know its exact
location. That means that when the Fellowship goes back, they also have to
take back the monsters with them. That is not an easy task. Okay, now
that all of that is said, I will cont.
Chapter 8 ~*~
Boromir stood against the wall and Dumbledore's office listening to Harry describe what just happened outside. As Harry explained, Boromir's thoughts turned to Frodo and the Ring.
"The Ring should have never been given to the Halfling. It should go to Gondor. We need it most. But we must get home first. Then." Boromir sighed and looked at Frodo sitting in front of him.
"And then Legolas and Gimli saved us," Harry finished.
"This is not good," Pippin whispered to Merry.
"Quiet," Merry hissed looking at the two wizards in front of him.
"Well, I am very concerned for everyone's safety," Dumbledore sighed at last.
"Yes, but sending everyone home does no good. The servants will attack the train and kill everyone on it until they find the Ring," Gandalf said.
"Yes, I know," said Dumbledore.
"Merry, what's a train?" Pippin whispered.
"Shut up Pippin. This is not the time," Merry said punching his friend in the arm.
"Sorry," he said rubbing his arm
"Well, classes can continue but we can't let the students leave the castle," Dumbledore said.
"Gandalf," said Aragorn suddenly, "There is the other portal, the one you used to travel from Middle- Earth to here."
"Yes, Aragorn. That may work, there is just the small problem of getting there and getting all of the monsters back without hurting anyone one," Gandalf closed his eyes in thought.
"Where is this portal Gandalf," Frodo asked?
"It is hidden just outside of London. It can be accessed from the train. If the train were to stop just before it arrived. We could get out and walk right to the spot where it is. Although, you must know exactly where it is and when it will be open," he said.
"When is it open," Gimli asked?
"I believe it will be open for only a short time next week. Wednesday, I think," Dumbledore said.
"And today is what day here," Sam asked? "Today is Thursday," smiled Dumbledore.
"So all we have to do is get these. things into the portal at the right time," Ron asked?
"We, what do you mean we," Hermione protested.
"We could help, couldn't we Professor," Harry asked ignoring Hermione?
"I do not know," Dumbledore said quietly.
"We can help. Really, I know some curses and I can use a sword," Harry said, "If there really are more, they could need our help."
"Please," Ron smiled, "You have to!"
"It would be too dangerous for such young people such as yourselves to be in such a fight as this may be," Aragorn said.
"But look at them, they are even less skilled than us," Hermione protested pointing to the Hobbits.
"Hey, that wasn't nice," Pippin huffed.
"They have more skill than you perceive," Boromir smiled, "They can surprise you. They have done so many times while I have been with them."
"But," Harry started.
"I am sorry, but I have to say that I can not risk it," said Dumbledore solemnly, "You will stay here until their job is done. It is not safe"
~*~ Later that day, on their way to the common room
"That is not fair," Ron whined, "We can help them."
"I know that and you know that, but Ron, maybe they are right. Maybe this is over our heads," said Harry thoughtfully.
"I agree with you Harry," Hermione nodded.
"Of course you would," Ron muttered, "What if we sneak on the train with them. What if they don't know we are there until it is too late."
"Ron, stop saying things like that. That could get us all killed," Hermione snapped.
"Wait a minute. Ron, I like that idea," said Harry.
"Harry, No," she said, "You cannot go. You heard Professor Dumbledore."
"And we have been in this situation how many times. I mean, every year something big has happened. I have always been apart of the stopping of it and this doesn't seem too hard," Harry said.
"Yeah, we are totally capable of doing this," Ron nodded happily.
"Well." Hermione started, "I guess we could, but I better start doing some research."
"On what?" Ron asked.
"Wraiths and Orcs and things like that. There has to be more than what Aragorn taught us," she smiled running off to the library.
"She is of her rocker," Ron muttered.
"Yep," Harry nodded watching her ran away.
~*~ Dinner that night
"Everyone, I have some very important news," Dumbledore said gravely, "As you all know, there was a monster attack earlier today. We have decided to cancel classes until they are gone. I am setting very strict rules. No one is to travel alone. No one is to leave the dorm rooms at night. No one is to go outside the castle. Do not leave the castle at all. If these rules are broken, there will be severe punishment."
The school was very scared anyway and none wished to brake these rules in fear of a painful death. Dumbledore continued.
"Our guests will be leaving tomorrow on the train. I will be going with them. I am leaving Professor McGonagall in charge of you all. When I feel that is safe, I will return and we will resume classes. Be careful tonight, everyone," Dumbledore dismissed the students.
The hall was quiet with no one speaking. Everyone went to their common rooms and stayed there, everyone except Harry, Ron and Hermione. They went to the common room, of course, but they did not stay there. When the Hobbits gathered their things and prepared to leave, everyone bid them a fond farewell.
" Good bye guys," Ron smiled.
"We'll miss you," Hermione said pretending to cry.
"We hope that we will meet you all again," Frodo smiled.
"We may see each other sooner than you think," Harry muttered and gave each of the Hobbit's a hug, "Bye. And good luck."
"Before we go," Pippin said looking at everyone, "I must know, what is a train?"
"Come one Pip," Merry said pulling him out of the common room that was now filled with laughter.
"Thank you again, Hermione for taking me to the kitchens. I will try some of the recipes when I get home," Sam said following the others out.
"Good-bye Sam," Hermione smiled weakly.
When they had gone, the common room emptied and Harry, Ron and Hermione put on the invisibility cloak and snuck out. They walked as quietly as they could without stepping on each others' feet. Finally, they came to the front doors and snuck outside. They ran as fast as they could around the lake to the train. When they got there, the train was already waiting for its passengers. They snuck inside, hoping that Dumbledore wouldn't see them if they passed his cabin. Thankfully, no one was on yet. They found a cabin at the very back and waited. They heard the other passengers get on and then, the train began to move. They heard a sound that was unlike anything they had ever heard. It made their hearts go cold. It was the cry of the Nazgul. They were coming.
A/N: Okay, so how do you like it. I know my whole story has grammical errors and I plan to fix them once I finish this story. As you can see, I am coming very close to finishing it. Maybe one more chapter and an Epilogue. Oh well, please review. Give me ideas for the next chapter. I know this one was kinda short and boring so I need the last one to be good. Anywho. thanks for all the wonderful reviews. I love them. Kay, Bye!
