Harry Potter/LOTR Crossover

Out of the Forest One Day

Chapter 3

Author's Note: Hey everyone! Thanks for the awesome reviews! I am definitely ready to write lots of chapters but right now I am juggling three stories at once: my third Ron and Shanon, this one, and one on Fiction Press. So just give me some time. I don't want to rush it and make it bad!

Ok enjoy!

"No........see.......a wand is like a magical.......stick."

"Stick?"

"Kinda. Well, it's made out of cool stuff. Like.....phoenix feathers or unicorn hair."

"Oh. So, a......a.........huh?"

Harry was trying to explain wands to Frodo, but Frodo could not grasp the concept. He just didn't understand how a simple piece of wood could create magical spells.

"Umm.....let me think....." Harry looked around trying to think of a way to explain. Ron jumped in with an explanation.

"You're old wizard guy! He has a staff! Our wands are like mini staffs!" Ron smiled triumphantly at his explanation as understanding dawned on our little friends.

"OH!" Frodo and Sam nodded. "So, they're like small orbs of magical energy harnessed into a fabricated man made thing." Ron stopped grinning and frowned.

"Uh sure. Yeah." He scratched his head, and pondered on the big words. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Yes something like that." She said with a smile.

"What about you?" Harry asked. "That ring?"

"That ring is dangerous!" Sam interrupted. "Mr. Frodo can't tell you anything about it."

"Sam, relax! I can tell them a bit." Sam grumbled as Frodo took the ring out.

"See, this is the one ring. It was forged in the Fires of Mount Doom by the Dark Lord Sauron. The only way I can destroy it is to throw it into the fires of Mount Doom."

"Gee, how cliché!" Ron laughed. Hermione slapped and he stopped immediately.

"That sounds............a lot more complicated then our story." Harry said. In his head he was thinking "I wanna go on a big adventure to a volcano! No fair!" He sulked and Frodo went on to explain the rings that were given to the dwarf lords, the elves, and the men, and the rest. By the end, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were fully engrossed with the story.

"AWESOME!" Ron yelled. "Tell the dragon part again!"

"Dragon?" Frodo looked puzzled. "My uncle fought one but.............."

"He means the dragons that the Ring Wraiths fly on, Mr. Frodo." Sam cleared things up.

"Oh!" Frodo explained the story again. Ron's eyes were wide and he giggled randomly sometimes.

When he was done again, Harry wondered what else to show them. Almost all had been shown. Even secret passages. Then it hit him. The pensieve.

"Hey, I'm going to show you something." Harry took the two Hobbits by the hand and pulled them along the hall to Snape's office.

"Harry, where are we going?" Hermione whispered. Harry grinned.

"To Snape's pensieve." He whispered back. Hermione gasped.

"Harry!!"

"Yeah, good idea Harry!" Ron laughed. Hermione glared at him and he stopped immediately.

"We can't Harry! We'll get in trouble!"

"Not if we're invisible!" Harry pulled out of his bag his invisibility cloak. Hermione looked at it, sighed, and got under it with Harry and Ron. The hobbits gasped.

"Where'd they go???" Sam gasped. Frodo looked around. He heard a laugh and Harry's head appeared floating in mid air.

"Don't worry!" Harry pulled the cloak off completely. "This is an invisibility cloak. It makes me invisible!" Ron and Hermione immerged. "To get to where we're going, I need it. You should put that ring on."

"NO!" Sam jumped in front of Frodo. "He can't! The dark lord will see him!" Frodo put his hand on Sam's shoulder.

"Only for a bit Sam."

"But Mr. Frodo!"

"No, it's ok Sam. I'll put it on just for the little bit." Sam was about to protest, but he sighed and let him do so.

Sam got under the invisibility cloak grumbling to himself. Then the other three slipped under it, and Frodo heard their footsteps. Harry left the smallest sliver of his coat outside of the cloak for Frodo to follow. Frodo took a deep breath and slipped on the ring.

He was in a strange place. Around him things blew and there was loud noise. He could just faintly see the four of them in front of him. But wait...........they had an invisibility cloak on. How could he see them? Wasn't he in a different realm as soon as he put this ring on? Yes, he was. But then how could he see his friends here? Past the cloak?

Before he could think about it anymore, Harry was telling him to take the ring off. He took it off and the blowing stopped. Everything was normal. Frodo blinked. What was that? Was this ring linked to other worlds? Was it...........

"Frodo!"

Harry interrupted him.

"Well here we are!"

Frodo looked around. They were in an office like place with lots of bottles and potion like things. In front of them was a desk. It had papers and quills scattered all over it. Quite messy too. But the thing that caught Frodo's eye was a giant cauldron like thing on the desk. It was steaming and Harry walked up to it and grinned.

"What is this?" Sam asked, peering into it on his tippy toes. The contents were swirling around and looked very hot.

"This is a pensieve." Harry pointed to it. "Uhh....how do I explain this?"

"Let me!" Hermione pushed in front of him and stepped over to where Frodo and Sam were standing, looking at the pensieve.

"It's a memory device."

"It helps you remember things?"

"No, you can extract memories into it and keep them there. It's like, if you feel you have too many memories you can keep them in here." Hermione smiled at the Hobbit's amazement.

"Let's go!" Ron was about to go in but Harry stopped him.

"Wait! Let me just explain one more thing to them." He turned to the Hobbits. "This is our potion teacher's pensieve. It's his memories. Some of them are..........pretty funny." Harry snorted and Ron stifled a laugh. Ron coughed, and it sounded like "underwear."

"Anyway," Harry smiled and leaned over the cauldron. "Here we go!" All of a sudden, he was gone, sucked into it. Ron went next. Hermione motioned to the Hobbits.

"Stand on the desk!" she said. The two of them climbed up on it, and they too were sucked into the swirling bubbling liquid.

They were in a living room like place. Children were everywhere. They were running around smiling with birthday hats on and confetti was everywhere.

All of a sudden, a huge purple dinosaur burst in yelling "HO HO HO, HEY KIDS!!!!" Most of them ran to him, but one didn't.

It was toddler Snape. He was screaming his lungs out as the dinosaur ran at him yelling "HEY THERE NOW KID. DON'T CRY."

They were sucked out immediately.

The five of them sat on the ground of Snape's office, panting.

"What WAS that thing???" Ron gasped.

"Poor Snape..........." Hermione sniffed. "Such sheer terror........"

"And I don't blame him......" Harry rubbed his bottom, sore from falling out of the cauldron.

"Are they always like that?" Frodo asked, confused.

"No." Harry replied sharply.

They were all quiet. Then Ron spoke.

"Never in fact." He gasped, his eyes wide. "Was that thing a deatheater or what?"

"Maybe a new form of orc......" Sam whispered to Frodo. Frodo nodded. With that, the friends left the offi,ce invisible.

Author's Note: What do you think? I know Barney isn't really that old but, it's just so funny!

I need to thank people now: my reviewers, readers, Linkin Park for being my background music, and my brother Charles for helping me with the plot. He's eight.

AHEM NOOO thanks to my other brother Teddy..............ahem Ok that's enough. Next chapter soon.
