Harry Potter/LOTR Crossover

Out of the Forest One Day

Chapter 7

Author's Note: First of all, I made some slight changes to the previous chapter with the whole Dumbleyadore thing. Please go back and take these into account.

And wow, my reviewers rock so hard! You guys are the best, I swear! Really, I mean it. I never thought you guys would like this story. My friend Cary, my brother, and I are now working on this story sort of together, so, think of them when reading! Lots of these ideas are us brainstorming together!

Thanks again! Keep the reviews coming!

Fish: Hey that dance routine isn't a bad idea!

The next day, a big construction team came from Hogsmeade to tear down the forest. Dumbledore talked with them for quite some time in his office till they decided it would be best to just use the one sweep method, which would dispose of all the trees immediately in one big swoop.

"Ok, Mr. Dumbledore. You'll have those trees gone in no time." The chief worker said getting up.

"Thank you so much!" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye. "And it's Dumbleya."

"Umm right. Ok, well, let's get down to the forest and see how to do this."

As Dumbleya came down to the forest, they saw almost the entire school had lined up to watch this amazing spectacle. Never had a headmaster decided to chop down the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbleya...GOD! I'm tired of this! DUMBLEDORE was followed by the workers and a huge machine that wizards used to slice down trees and destroy buildings. He stood in front of the forest and looked at the trees. The head worker came up next to him and surveyed them as well.

"Yep, they're pretty well rooted." He said, shifting his weight to the other leg. "We're going to need extra slicers."

He turned around and gave a motion to the machine driver, who pushed a button and twelve more scythes appeared in front along with the six that we're already there.

"Everything ready Mr. Dumbleyadore?" The head worker asked.

"Hmm.......yes, I suppose so. Carry on."

Dumledore stepped back and the head worker gave the signal. The driver began forward when there was a cry heard.

"SAVE THE TREES!!!"

Dumbledore slapped his forehead and the head worker glared.

"What the....." He ran to the trees and saw that a dementor had chained himself to the trees.

"What the hell is this???" The head worker asked angrily.

"I'm so sorry!" Dumbledore said sighing. "That's Frank, our tree hugger dementor. Let me take care of it."

With one motion of his wand, Dumbledore swooped Frank of the tree and sent him flying towards the castle, as he yelled

"You'll see!!! Just wait!!! I WILL AVENGE THE TREES!!!"

The students all watched as he soared over them.

"CHIPMUNKS!! AVENGE YOUR FRIENDS!!!"

Frank hit the doors of the school with a bang and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Ok....." The head worker was standing there with a look of disbelief on his face. "I don't know what that was about, but, carry on."

The driver nodded and drove straight at the tree with full force. As he drove forward, the scythes came shooting out. The students gasped and jumped back, and with one fast one second motion, the trees we're all chopped, and they all fell down with a gigantic boom. Everyone covered their ears as sawdust and pine needles flew everywhere. After five minutes, it all stopped and the students and teachers took their hands down, looking at the trees in amazement.

Dumbledore did not seem phased. He just walked over to the head worker who was now chewing gum loudly and said

"So, when will this all be cleaned up so I can have my tennis court?"

"Soon, Mr. Dumbleyadore. Soon. For now, lets start the clean up." He waved his wand and workers appeared who went into the forest and began waving away dead things so they'd disappear.

Dumbledore nodded in approval and slowly walked back up to the castle. The students stood in awe, and slowly they all dispersed, group by group, whispering and peering back at the forest.

"Dumbledore's gone completely mad." Ron whispered in a squeaky voice. "Completely and utterly mad."

Harry nodded and looked down at Frodo.

"What do you make of it?" Frodo asked.

"I don't know." Harry said, running his hand through his hair. "Do you think that.....ring of yours has a negative effect on us here?"

Frodo pulled the ring out of his pocket. It had already been proved that this ring, and other invisibility items like the cloak, we're all linked to another realm where you could enter any world. Now it was becoming more complicated.......

It was well into night when the workers finally cleared away most everything. But one worker was still working hard near the back of where the Forbidden Forest had once stood. The head worker came out and looked out at him.

"OY!" He yelled. "Come on in, we're done!"

"Well," the worker turned and yelled back at the head worker. "There's these bits of black cloth I can't get up off the ground!"

"Come on in anyway!" The head worker yelled. "We'll get them later!"

The worker shrugged and dropped his work items, then ran across to the other man. They walked slowly back up to the castle. As the big doors closed behind them, the black "cloths" slowly rose from on the ground and black horses appeared beneath them. They held long knives and all stood in a row. They were ringwraiths. They had come for the ring.
