Hello guys…I just wanted to mention a few things….firstly I forgot to explain how Merry and Pippin were able to read the book…dobby read it for them and got the ingredients as well.

When I said they split this was only due to the fact that they have multiple animagus forms but it is easier to see them if they are all presented at once…I cant wait to see the havoc this will cause with plot of the lord of the rings…

Also I know Legolas seems all kinda like all power ful etc, but  in my story all elves are strong magicians, all elves are multimagi…I mean only using magic sparsely over thousands of years you are sure to get build ups and reserves of magic,

 I can't think of anything else to say…except….

"This is English"

This is common tongue

~this is elvish~

Chapter sixteen

"Do you guys realise we have just missed transfiguration?"

Hermione whipped around to stare at him and then at another piece of similar metal attached to her wrist, "so we have, I never got into this much trouble at my old school" she seemed a little overwhelmed

"You think that is bad?" Fred asked.

"We have just missed divination…which we don't mind about…and potions,"

Ron's mouth had dropped open, "you will be scrubbing cauldrons for weeks"

"it was worth while learning how to be animagi on the quick course for that, thank you Legolas" with this said the pair of them hurried out of the door and the sound of their footsteps faded away.

"I suppose it would be wise to talk to the lady McGonagall" spoke Boromir

"I would agree with you" said Aragorn

Thus the eight walkers of the fellowship and the golden trio of Hogwarts made their way down to the transfiguration classroom.

++++++++++++++++++++

"it is normally customary to enter the classroom at the beginning rather than the end of the lesson" McGonagall called to them as they entered her classroom, "you had better have a good excuse" with this said she returned her attention to the rest of the class and did not even look at them once before the clangerous noise that announced he end of the lesson sounded, Pippin found that he really disliked this noise for it was very loud and sounded very frequently.

"now potter I will require a good excuse as to why you, Granger, Weasly, Arathon, Thundril and Denethor were all so late to this lesson and as to why all the rest of our after school activity group is here" the woman seemed irate that Harry would have ever considered missing one of her, Pippin also found that although he could understand the langue spoken he often found that he still heard words which he could not understand, such as the word lesson.

"Since we all had defence against the dark arts first thing this morning we thought that it would be a good time to practise our animagi transformations"

"But potter how could you hope to progress if you did not know the steps that must be taken to reveal your form…"

"Milady, when I accidentally turned the toad woman into a toad night of last, I found that there was a way in which I could find someone's form"

Pippin almost burst out laughing at the anger and irritated face the woman was making

"If you do not believe me then I can do it for you, Harry has told me that you are an animagus but not your form"

the woman scrutinised the elf in front of her and then nodded, Legolas preformed the spell and before him their sat a cat with fur liken to that of the eagle feather Bilbo had returned with when he had gone a travelling. He then returned he to her normal form, once the teacher had stopped gaping at Legolas she seemed to come al little to her senses

"Where is your wand?" she asked of Legolas

"It is stored on the outside of my quiver"

"You mean to tell me that you have just preformed a forced animagus transformation on me with out a wand?"

"If that is what you wish to call it"

"I have never been forced into or out of my animagus form," the woman sounded a little petulant, "so how far have you been able to come? Have any of you been able to start to transform?"

"Why for sure, we are all able to transform completely, milady" called the dwarf from a place just a little further from the ground that Pippin.

"Then Potter, Granger and Weasly I will have to know you creatures and their markings"

Taking this as a hint Harry Ron and Hermione all transformed, Pippin notice the woman's eyes widen as she scribbled on a piece of parchment with a feather

"Would I be able to take your forms also? It is just in case you are injured in you form…"

Pippin nodded eagerly and looked around to see that the others were doing the same; it seemed that Aragorn Boromir and Legolas were erring on the side of caution for they showed the woman only the most boring of their forms.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once all was finished in the transfiguration room it became apparent that the others had duties to attend to and so the hobbits once more slowly made their way back to the kitchens. As they started to walk along one of the corridors the two heavy set boys who had jumped on them two days ago attempted to do so once more. This time they were a little more ready, Merry and Pippin both jumped on to their shoulders and held their hands over their mounts eyes while Sam and Frodo took the far more frightening task of tripping these giants who were so much greater than any of the four of them, they would have succeeded if it had not been for the blonde boy who cast spells upon them whilst they fought his minions, in a last effort to allow themselves a rescue Sam and Pippin both called in the common tongue down the halls in the hope that Legolas would be able to hear their calls,

help us…we're being attacked

The blonde boy spoke to them "don't bother no one will hear you"

"Legolas will"

"Who is Legolas?"

"An elf"

The boy started to laugh, "how can an elf help you, they are lower than humans they bow to us not us to them"

"Is that so…" a soft voice asked from behind the blonde boy, "no doubt you will have heard of what happened to the toad woman…do you want that to happen to you? I could make you into a ferret"

This seemed to be too much for the boy for be seemed to think that caution was preferable to the fate he described.

"I wonder why he dislikes the form of a ferret so much" Legolas mused

Pippin thought on the subject but not in great detail, "may hap you should ask Harry he might know"

"I will, I hope you are unhurt"

"We are but it would appear that Merry and Frodo have fallen prey to some form of bewitchment"

Legolas waved a hand and the pair was free of the hex, Legolas must have noticed the hobbits stares for he shrugged and muttered something about seeing someone perform this counter and then leave the scene as quickly as possible.

Once they had reached the kitchens all four of the pulled out their pipes and readied themselves with the lighting thereof.

"Did you see that? An elf bashful" Pippin exclaimed the first "it may seem strange, I think he was embarrassed over rushing to rescue us"

"Would not you be, cousin" asked Frodo

"There is reason their in, I think that the boy who just attacked us needs some attention from the kitchen mischief"

"Now see here Mr Merry we don't want these house elves to incur a bad reputation" Sam seemed a little worried, dobby came to see of what they talked

"The matter of causing the food to be hexed is serious little masters who were you planning to hex little masters?"

"This boy he keeps on attacking us, he has trolls in his service and his hair is fair and sticks smoothly to his head"

"He looked like this?" dobby conjured a portrait of the boy

"Yes that is him,"

"Then I will help you this boy was my master before good and great and wonderful and kind Harry potter freed me, that boy was cruel master"

"Dobby could you look in the book to see if there is any suitable punishment for him"

"No little masters there is nothing suitable for this crime in this book"

For a moment Pippin's vision went completely blank then he smiled

"If he hates us so much why not turn him into one of us for a while? Surely it would take the same potion as last time with the exception of a switch between the carrots feather to hobbit hair"

"Good idea Pippin…it should be given at lunch time and made to last until midnight"

A look of agreement had passed through the faces of the participants.

+++++++++++++++++

the charms class had been enjoy able, but the end had been ruined a little by Ron continually moaning about how hungry he was until Legolas placed a lembas into his hand, with the comment of, "don't eat all of that it is my last one" typically Ron could only manage one mouthful.

The real enjoyment of the lunchtime was when Harry told them of why Malfoy disliked the form of ferret so much, by the end of his story and Legolas' subsequent one there were many people almost in tears for laughter.

Whilst they were laughing the drawling voice of the boy they were laughing at was heard beside the table, when people turned their gazes toward the voice they saw not a human Draco but a short blond hobbit

+++++++++++++++

boogalaga- sorry but its just the fact that the elven kind is powerful so Legolas could be weak amoung their numbers

 the grinch- thank you

pussin boots- would have done racoons but I wanted them to have orange fur

PippinpIRATE- their you are one sorta hobbits in the kitchen, I put them their so I wouldn't really have to write about them…well never mind

estella brandybuck- that is just the spells way of showing extra forms…Aragorn can turn only into one of his creatures at one moment

naurein- soz if I speilt the name rong…are you alkways this impatient?

Nothintobelieve- thank you…you can not know how much that means to me, I had to look up everything in my copy of plants and wildlife in great Britain to ensure that the fellowship wont stick out like a sore thumb when they transform
