Ch 5
Quite a Whoop" WOO-HOO-HOO!"
Everyone whipped around to look back up the mountain just as Ally and Sirius flew past them down the mountain- on Boromir's shield.
Sirius sat inside, knees up and toes on the edge, Ally between his legs with her own knees bent and her own toes in front of her on the edge of the shield. Both were clutching the shield edge on either side of them, their knuckles white. Their hair flew out behind them and their eyes watered with the speed and cold air. Snow flew up behind them as they sped past the group.
Gandalf's eyes were huge and he was leaning his full weight on his staff as he watched them fly down the mountain. The other travelers stopped dead in shock, their own eyes bugging out of their heads.
All but Remus and James.
James dropped his head and closed his eyes in what appeared to be exhaustion. Remus spun on his heel, throwing his arms up in the air (" For the love of Godric!") and letting them fall back down and slap against his thighs.
Sirius and Ally were definitely gonna reach the bottom first.
* * *
The shield and its cargo were finally able to break. Well… sort of. In a way… Fine. They hit a rather raised snow mound, which sent both shield and riders careening into the air.
Ally hit first, landing face down in a large pile of fluffy snow that cushioned her small frame quite well. She lifted her head and shook the snow out of her face just in time to see Sirius land flat on his back about fifteen feet away.
" Ooh! Ouch!" She muttered to herself as she pushed herself up with her arms. Part of her felt bad for smiling because Sirius could be hurt, but then part of her just really didn't care and found the entire situation bloody hilarious.
" Holy… fucking… Hippogriffs!" The wheezy curse was that of Sirius and it was all Ally could do not to drop to her knees in uncontrollable laughter. She stumbled over to him just as he attempted to push himself up on his elbows. He promptly fell back again but did not give up. A moment or so later, he was in a considerable sitting position and Ally was kneeling in the snow next to him, her smile refusing to miss the action.
" Everything alright?" She asked cheerfully.
Sirius rubbed his back a bit but nodded.
Ally continued to smile. " Nothing broken?" She asked. Sirius shook his snowy head. " Everything feels relatively normal?" Sirius nodded. " Nothing sticking out that shouldn't?" Sirius shook his head. " Still got all five limbs?"
Sirius snorted and it was all the permission Ally needed to fall over backwards with laughter.
Sirius laughed with her and watched her until she closed her eyes while she laughed, before promptly grabbing the front of his robes, pulling them open, checking, and sighing with relief as he smiled and fell backwards himself to enjoy the hilariousness of the moment.
Still got all five.
He looked up the mountain and about halfway up saw a cluster of dark specks moving slowly in their general direction. He fell back down again. We definitely made it to the bottom first.
* * *
" Bloody hell, Padfoot! What was that?!" Demanded James when the rest of the group finally reached the bottom of the mountain.
" I think it was a shield," Sirius answered honestly as he helped a giggling Ally to her feet. They hadn't stood for a good twenty minutes while they'd waited for the others to catch up. It probably would have taken a lot longer had James not gotten fed up and finally pulled out his wand and used a bit of fire to melt them a decent path.
" Where is my shield?" Asked Boromir.
" I think it's over there," said Sirius, turning around and pointing off to a brown dot among the pure white snow about a hundred yards or more away. When the cruel hand of Gravity had caught them, the shield had hit after Sirius and slid along the snow and ice for a bit before the sometimes-no-fun-force-of-friction halted it to a stop.
Boromir shook his head in disbelief and started off after his shield.
" I have never seen such speed of mortals," said Legolas. James thought his voice held a tint of awe. " It was as though you were flying."
" That may not sound as far fetched as you think," said Sirius as he unconsciously rubbed his surely bruised bottom.
Ally let out a short laugh before clapping a hand to her mouth and trying once more to regain her composure.
" You should know," said Gandalf suddenly, not bothering to hide his smile, " that we have many enemies in our world at the moment, for our journey is not a pleasing one to some. Therefore it is best to not hoot and holler at this time." He winked at Ally and she simply smiled back. He brushed past them and started to walk their journey's path once more, Boromir (having retrieved his shield), Aragorn and Gimli falling into place behind him as he went.
Two of the other small folk smiled at Sirius and Ally for a moment before following the rest of the group. The other two, the same two that had laughed at Ally's black robes comment atop the mountain, walked up to them, an unhidden excitement burning in their eyes.
" Can you show us how to do that?" Asked the smaller of the two in a hushed hyper voice. The other nodded enthusiastically, his smile seeming to be as wide as it could go.
" Maybe some other time," smiled Sirius. He half expected them to be disappointed, but they simply continued with their nodding and went to join the rest of the group.
" They shall hold you to that," said Legolas with a smile. He nodded once at Ally- who kept her smile and felt her cheeks grow hot- and then he too joined the walking group. All that stood now were Ally, Sirius, James and Remus.
Ally was still smiling but she had a bit of a confused look in her eyes. " I wonder why Gandalf winked at me like that," she thought aloud.
" Well that was quite a whoop you gave going down the mountain," laughed James.
" Yeah, really, Ally," agreed Remus with a wide grin.
Ally snorted, trying to hold in her new wave of laughter and Sirius' cheeks grew at an alarming rate to a bright red- probably from the cold.
" We should go then, eh?" He suggested quickly and spun on his heel to catch up with the others at a speed no one but himself and Ally would ever understand the reason for.

A/N: I am so sorry that this chapter wasn't longer, but at least it's up. I'm adding a bit quicker now that the CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS HAVE STARTED!!!! WOO-HOO-HOO! Lolz! Anyways, sorry it couldn't be longer, and I know there isn't much of a story line yet, but I promise the next chapter WILL be longer and full of action as I know you can probably guess where they're headed next in Middle Earth. Lolz.
So sorry once more and PLEASE review it! The more reviews the more chapters!
