"We're going to be late for class!" exclaimed Serena Halliwell as she,
Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Harry Potter were running down the halls
of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
"It's not my fault I couldn't find my potions book." Ron said panting. Considering that they were running at a sprint and were carrying bags with about 3 books in them, in Hermione's case, 6 books, this was something to pant about.
"Well, if you were organized," Hermione said," it wouldn't take you twenty min. to find your book."
"First of all, I resent that comment, I have a system," Ron said sticking up for his "toss a book in a pile that has other things from that class" system," and you didn't have to wait for me?"
"Will you two stop fighting already?!" Harry yelled.
As they were running down one of the many deserted dark halls of Hogwarts, it began to change around them. Yet the friends were in to much of a hurry to notice that, seeing as giving Professor Snape any reason to take points away from Gryffindor and/or give them a detention, was not a good idea. They also didn't notice because they were either: (a) yelling at each other(Ron and Hermione) or (b) trying to stop the yelling(Harry and Serena). So anyway, the hall became lighter and the stone columns became more like Greek columns and less like the buttresses of gothic churches. The windows became larger, all most like arch ways and more of them appeared, and some with white window coverings (if you can think of a better name tell me).
The groups running slowed and finally stopped as they realized what had happened.
"Where are we?" Ron asked.
Hermione, having heard a question posed tired to answer. "Well I, um... don't know."
"We're doomed!!!!!!!" Ron yelled.
"No we're not, well not yet." Harry said.
"Yeah, not yet, lost maybe but not doomed." Serena said.
"Ok, so not doomed, well then, where are we? I don't think we're in Hogwarts anymore." Ron asked.
"Thank you Mr. Points out the Obvious, and that line has been said before." Serena said.
"Well then, queen of the comebacks, where are we?" Harry said.
"I don't know."
"I rest my case." Harry said.
"Well why don't we ask them?" Hermione said pointing to two men. One had shoulder length black hair, a shabby beard and blue-grey eyes(hehe combining movie and book). The other had the same length hair only it was blonde and had green eyes(going with Sean Bean here).
"Good idea." Serena said.
So the group came upon Strider and Boromir. They were just in the hall, Strider for some reason(if out of character see the disclaimer) wanted to know what was going on in Gondor. Well Boromir thought it might be strange because Strider was a Ranger. Anyway they were talking about what was going on in Gondor and how it was in trouble.
"Um...Excuse me," Hermione, taking on the responsibility of asking what the hell was going on, said, "could you tell us where we are?"
Well after the initial shock of having four teenagers, or a least they didn't think these were elves, showing up out of nowhere, the two men didn't know how to answer the question. So Aragorn(I mean Strider, don't know real name yet) yes Strider decided to reply.
"You are in Rivendell, the house of Lord Elrond."
"All right, thats good. Now who are you and who is Elrond?" Hermione asked.
Now the two men seemed to think these people(now knowing defenently not elves) were either ignorant or well there was no or, they were here in Rivendell and did not know who Elrond was. This was bad.
"I am Strider, a Ranger, Elrond is the Lord of Rivendell."
"I'm Boromir, son of Denethor."
"Ok, um...now we can panic." Ron said.
"Ron, no not panicking, we just have find out how we got here and how to get back to Hogwarts." Serena said.
"Excuse me, but would you tell us who you are?" Boromir asked.
"Oh sorry, I'm Harry Potter."
"I am Hermione Granger"
"I'm Ron Weasley"
"I'm Serena Halliwell."
They all said this respectively.
"How did you get here?" Strider asked.
"We don't know." Serena said.
"Yes one minute we were running to class and the next we were here, as if by magic." Hermione said, causously slipping magic into the conversation to see how the two would react to it.
Now Strider and Boromir were in a strange situation. They didn't know exactly what Hermione was talking about, but they heard the word magic. They came to a silent agreement that if these people didn't turn out to be evil spies of Sauron, well what could they say, these kids just appeared, then they would show them to Gandalf the Grey.
"What are your intentions in Rivendell?" Boromir asked.
"We have none, seeing as we don't know where this is or what is here." Serena said.
Strider stared at the group. They seemed truly not to know where they were or what was going on. He knew the One Ring was here, but sis they know that? Acting discreetly, as he always did when he knew he should, decided to slip the Ring into the conversation. Although not in so many words.
"There are many things of value here," Strider said, "one of them greater than all others."
Hermione and Serena both picked up one what Strider was actually saying. In other words something like the Sorcerers Stone was here, now. It was Hermione who decided to reply "We do not care what things are here, we just want to get back to where we came from."
Strider relaxed. He now knew that, unless they were really sneaky, but he didn't think that, they were not spies. Boromir was a little slower on the up take, but got it at the end of Hermione's statement what was going on.
"Come we shall take you to see Gandalf." Boromir said.
"Not at the moment, we have the Council." Strider said.
"Oh right, what should we do about them?"
"Let them wonder around and explore a little, what harm could it do?"
So like that Strider and Boromir left the group to go to the Council of Elrond. The two forgot to factor in that, this group, what was said as exploring meant, well, finding where said Council was and then, eavesdropping.
To their credit, they did explore. They saw the vista and looked out upon what was called Rivendell. They saw the waterfalls and entrance bridge. They noticed how it seemed the place was in fall, though it was not that cold and the sun was shinning. They saw some of the inhabitants. There seemed to be something celestial about them, like they weren't human. But walking around and seeing the wonders around them could only hold their curiosity for a little while. They began to speculate on what was here. Serena and Hermione had filled them in on what the conversation had actually been about. They thought another stone might be here, since, well, it seemed like it. The only thing was, these people seemed to be dressed like people out of the past, nothing like from the twenty-first century. So one thing lead to another, and they found out, where they thought (and were correct, really if you have a "secret council" try to put it in a place that is not out in the open) it was.
"We have to look like we're not spying on them, and not be seen." Serena said.
"Well I do have some extendable ears." Ron said.
"Really, thats great, how many do you have?" Hermione asked.
"Um...I think four, let me check, yeah four."
"It's not my fault I couldn't find my potions book." Ron said panting. Considering that they were running at a sprint and were carrying bags with about 3 books in them, in Hermione's case, 6 books, this was something to pant about.
"Well, if you were organized," Hermione said," it wouldn't take you twenty min. to find your book."
