A/N: Whatica, my dear friend: SHUT UP!!! It is true that I am Aragorn, (NOT
ARWEN, although I do look like her), BUT I AM PIPPIN TOO! YOU SUCK! My mom
(and my friends) even thinks so: especially with the whole 'you're always
hungry' type thing. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS! And yes, it has been 6 months
since I have seen TTT. For those of you who don't know, I AM COMPLETELY
OBSSESED with LotR. I've seen FotR 35 times and counting! (including
extended version) It's a good thing I haven't done anything drastic yet!
Also, Sakura123, I have read one of your stories. 'Pippin's Mistake.'
Funny! Anyways, here is chapter 13, and I do not, (even though I wish I
did), own anything.
Chapter 13
The next day dawned not as sunny as the previous one. The hobbits were dismayed at this, on account of they had all of their outside classes today. They were eating in the Great Hall for breakfast when they were reminded by the ceiling: it was charmed so that it looked just like the weather outside.
Harry cheered them up by saying that there was going to be one of those Quidditch match things on Friday, and that Ron was going to be playing in it. The thoughts of bad weather were removed from their minds as they now wondered what the sight of Quidditch would be like.
Charms passed nicely, even though they had some trouble sprouting legs on their teacups. Why would we even want to have our teacups run away? thought Frodo as he collected his cup before it ran off the table.
Transfiguration was about the same as Charms, but the hobbits needed even more help from Hermione to vanish their kittens. (They were graduated to kittens after they had mastered snails.)
Care of Magical Creatures class was the same; they studied the bowtruckles now in their own habitat, and watched how it climbed the trees, so easily misguided to be a stick.
Herbology was also the same, even though Sam had a marvelous time. He ended up partnering with Neville on pruning a very interesting-looking plant. Frodo had forgotten what its name was, but whenever you poked it, it poked you right back.
After another day of classes in Hogwarts, the hobbits plus their three new friends headed towards the Common Room. On their way up a stair, though, the four hobbits got separated from Harry, Hermione, and Ron as the staircase moved to another landing.
"Don't move!" yelled Hermione from the landing she was on with Ron and Harry. "We'll come get you!"
Hermione, Harry, and Ron, having experience with this matter, found a corridor and began sprinting down its length to retrieve their new friends.
Pippin was clutching on to Merry for dear life when the staircase suddenly shifted the opposite way, and he was still clutching on to Merry even though they were on firm ground. Merry raised his eyebrows at Pippin, and he let go, blushing slightly.
"Well, do we just wait for them, then?" asked Sam as the forms of Ron, Harry, and Hermione disappeared from the other landing, sprinting down a hallway.
"Maybe we can just go down this corridor here, and wait for them," suggested Merry. The other three nodded and they walked down this new corridor. About halfway, they stopped as a voice greeted their ears.
"Well, look here, boys. The four new Gryffindor students," came a drawling voice from behind them. They turned around and saw that Slytherin student, Draco Malfoy, and his two 'cronies,' as Ron had called them, standing on either side of the pale boy. He had a smirk on his face as he came closer.
"I do believe you got separated from your other, 'friends,' am I correct?" he asked them. They nodded. They were warned about this boy, and they weren't going to let him bother them any more then they wanted. And they wanted nothing of the sort.
"I wonder why," continued Malfoy, "you would want Potty, Weasel, and the Mudblood as friends." The hobbits, not understanding what these nick- names meant, merely glanced at each other. Malfoy found his opening.
"You should get rid of them. They aren't very good people, let alone friends," said Malfoy with a sly sound to his voice. "Once you get to know them, like I have."
"And what makes you think you know them?" Merry demanded, stepping forward. "If anyone fits in as a bad person, they say it's you."
At this Malfoy and his bullies laughed. Well, Malfoy did, the other two just guffawed stupidly after. "Now that's what I've been trying to tell you," Malfoy continued. "They make sure you're their friends, and then tell you that me, myself, is a bad person? Now, if you were MY friends, I wouldn't make hate-situations like that. If you just drop them and perhaps come instead with me, then I will show you what a true friend can do for you," he ended with a slight gleam in his eye.
Pippin stepped up to where Merry was ahead of him. He looked at his friends, then at these new-comers. He gulped as he said, "We are fine without your help, thanks." Malfoy lost the gleam in his eye as he frowned.
"Fools! You'll see that that Mudblood and the rest are only trying to make you hate everyone else who's not in Gryffindor. They are so worked up in themselves that they don't notice the other students, and that Potter just makes himself the hero because he wants the attention. Go on then, go to your precious 'friends'."
With that, Malfoy and the two blundering cronies at his side stalked off in the direction of the stairs.
About five minutes later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione came into view from the other end of the corridor. The four hobbits hurried over to them as they caught their breath, and then made the trip to Gryffindor Tower. On the way, they told them about their encounter with Malfoy.
"Oh, that toad!" Hermione fumed after they told them what Malfoy had said about them. "Don't listen to one WORD that he says! He was only trying to trick you somehow!"
"And don't listen to what he says about Harry, mates," Ron added as Hermione kept grumbling. "Because Harry doesn't do any of that stuff for attention." Harry looked at his friend with a look of gratitude.
"Does what stuff?" Frodo asked them as they gave the password to the portrait of the fat lady.
"What do you mean, 'what stuff?'" Ron replied with an odd look on his face.
"I meant, what sort of things does he do to make Malfoy say that he wants attention?" Frodo responded, as they now took their seats in front of the fire.
"You mean you really don't know?" Hermione asked them. They shook their heads. "Harry, maybe you could- you know- give them a little story about what you've done in Hogwarts? Of course, they probably know already about what happened when you were a baby-" They shook their heads again. "Oh, well, then- Harry? Do you want to begin?"
Harry nodded his head, with a mixed look of amusement and weariness setting upon his face as he began.
It turned out that when Harry was a baby, a dark wizard by the name of Voldemort had killed Harry's parents, and when he tried to kill Harry, he remarkably couldn't. The spell backfired and Voldemort had lost his powers, becoming nothing but a spirit, and he fled. Harry was then transported to his aunt and uncle's house, and that was where he spent his life, never knowing about this parents or the wizarding world, until the letter came from Hogwarts telling him he had been accepted.
In his first year, Harry made friends with Ron and Hermione, and they all told the events of what happened in their first year at Hogwarts. A lot of things, apparently. They had defeated a troll that had threatened Hermione in the girl's lavatories, they witnessed the birth of a dragon called Norbert in Hagrid's hut, Harry was put on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (being the youngest to do so in a century), and they found out about something called the Sorcerer's Stone. (A/N: Or Philosophers Stone, if you like) It turned out that Voldemort had wanted the Stone because it gave the wielder immortality, and he had been feeding the life off of their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at the time, Professor Quarrel. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had thought that Snape was going to get the Stone, and they managed to get passed several obstacles, including a three-headed dog named Fluffy, but Harry alone to the last obstacle. Instead of meeting Snape, he became face to face Voldemort, and he miraculously survived AND saved the Stone.
In Harry's second year, they found out about something called the Chamber of Secrets, (after Ron and Harry almost got expelled by flying a car to Hogwarts). They had found a message written in what they thought was blood that said: The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir, beware. With that message, they had also found Mrs. Norris petrified. After Mrs. Norris came others, including Hermione! Everyone somehow thought that Harry was the heir of Slytherin, for it was rumored that the heir of Slytherin could open the Chamber of Secrets and unleash a monster that lurked inside. Since Harry could speak Parseltongue, snake language, they assumed that he was the heir. But in fact, he wasn't. Harry had found a diary from Tom Marvolo Riddle, and it had sent Harry into a memory of the diary, showing how Hagrid had gotten expelled, and when the Chamber had been opened before, killing a girl. When a certain spider named Aragog told them that it wasn't Hagrid who had opened the Chamber, then they came to investigate where the girl had died, finding the Chamber. Harry had found out that Ginny, Ron's younger sister, had been corrupted by Tom Riddle, who was in fact Voldemort's younger self, a memory from the diary. Harry had to battle with a basilisk, a gigantic snake, and killed it. He also destroyed the memory of Tom Riddle, ending Ginny's corruption. The petrified students were put back to their original state, and Harry had even freed a house elf named Dobby. Merry and Pippin told them briefly about their encounter with Dobby in the kitchens, as Harry then moved the next year.
In third year, (after Harry almost got expelled from inflating his Aunt Marge), they found out that a murderer was on the loose from the wizarding jail, Azkaban, and was trying to find, of all the people, Harry. Harry later found out that this man, Sirius Black, was in fact his godfather! And to top that all off, he was the one responsible for Harry's parents' death. They also had gotten a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin, who had been Harry's father's and Sirius Black's friend. Hagrid had been made the Care of Magical Creatures teacher and had shown them something called Hippogriffs, a creature part horse part bird, but Malfoy had accused the Hippogriff called Buckbeak that it had hurt him on purpose, and they Ministry of Magic had put an execution date for Buckbeak. On the day of Buckbeak's execution, Professor Trelawney had made a sudden prediction that the Dark Lord's true servant would return to him, and only Harry had heard it. After they had paid Hagrid a visit before Buckbeak's execution, Scabbers, Ron's rat, had run off, and the three of them ran towards the forest, where a big dog had gotten hold of Ron and dragged him down to a secret passage in the Whomping Willow, a tree that does not like being hit. When Harry and Hermione chased after them, they found themselves in the Shrieking Shack, a 'haunted' house in Hogsmeade, and found that Sirius Black was there. After a number of things happened, which included Lupin finding them, they found out that Sirius Black was not responsible for the Potters' death, but in fact Peter Pettigrew, who was Ron's rat, (he was an Animagus), was. When they tried to go back to the school, they had found out that Lupin was a werewolf when the full moon came out, and when they separated to try and escape when Lupin changed, Harry found that about a hundred dementors, who were looking for Sirius Black, was advancing towards him and his new godfather. When Frodo asked what a dementor was, and Harry had described it, Pippin almost fell out of his seat exclaiming "Black Riders!"
When that little scenario was over, Harry continued. When he and Hermione found themselves in the hospital wing after trying to ward off the dementors, they found out that Snape had captured Sirius Black, but Dumbledore, after having a word with Harry and Hermione, (Ron was unconscious), Hermione pulled out something called the time-turner, and they actually traveled back in time! They instead rescued Buckbeak from his execution, Harry stopped the dementors, and the two friends helped Sirius escape with Buckbeak, but Pettigrew had escaped as well.
Harry then told them briefly about last year, his fourth year. He was entered into something called the Tri-Wizard Tournament, where three wizard schools compete with one another, and that year, Hogwarts was hosting it. Three students, one from each school, competed, but only if they were 17 years old. Well, after the three students had been picked, the entire school, staff, and other two visiting schools were shocked when Harry was picked to represent Hogwarts along with Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff. After much arguing, the judges of the Tournament let Harry compete, since it was in the rules. Harry had to go through three tasks. In the first, he had to get past a dragon, a Hungarian Horntail. In the second, he had to go into the lake on the Hogwarts grounds to recover something that the merpeople in the lake had taken. In the third, he had to go through a maze full of obstacles with all of the other champions, to find the Tri-Wizard Cup in the middle. Well, it turned out that Cedric and Harry were there at the same time, so they agreed to take it at the same time and let it be a tie, a Hogwarts victory. But unknown to them, the Cup was a portkey, (a method of transportation where a wizard disguises something, like a boot, to take them someplace else), and that portkey took them right to Voldemort, who killed Cedric and tied Harry up. Harry found that Wormtail, who was Peter Pettigrew, had returned to Voldemort, and with his help, (and Harry's, although he had no choice since he was tied up), Voldemort returned to his body. Harry somehow miraculously escaped, and when he got back to Hogwarts, he found out that Mad-Eye Moody, who was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for that year, was actually not Mad-Eye Moody, but a servant of Voldemort. After Dumbledore had come and they found out about the imposter, Harry retold everything to Dumbledore (and Sirius, who had come since he was in hiding near Hogsmeade) in his office. Harry then went to the hospital wing, but it turned out that Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, didn't believe Dumbledore and Harry and the rest about Voldemort being back to power, and so now, Harry said, they were trying to get people to believe them, especially Dumbledore. The Daily Prophet, the wizarding newspaper, had made Harry and Dumbledore look like people who were not right in the head, especially Harry, and they had to take the torment of their peers or other wizards who would not believe that Voldemort really was back. Frodo and the rest felt bad for Harry, but were amazed at how much he had done. Forget Malfoy, and whatever he had said about Harry and the rest certainly was not true. They were also amazed at how much their world was like Harry's, in some parts. They too had a Dark Lord, although this one was entirely different, and trolls and black riders and who knew what else.
It was getting late, so they all went to bed. Harry was sure exhausted, telling them all about the past few years of his time at Hogwarts. Who wouldn't be?
A/N: Wow! Now this is one big chapter! I'm sorry to those who think it was a waste of time for me to even write this chapter, because I really wanted Harry to discuss the things that he had done, so that the hobbits would get a better understanding. I probably shouldn't have gone into so much detail, and I would have added more, if not for the length, so- Anyways, please Review! I have 21 at the moment, and I would like to double that amount, if possible! Lol. So please keep those Reviews a-coming! Thank you!
