Chapter twenty six
Legolas, Boromir and Aragorn were sitting at the Gryffindor table in the great hall, no one was speaking, thought one can imagine what there single thought was "how in the name of the valour was a hobbit going to survive in the castle of a fearsome dark lord that no one really liked to name" the great hall started to fill with people. Professor Dumbledore entered and made a bee line for Aragorn.
"Mr Arathon, it would appear that Mr Samwise has attempted to contact you"
Aragorn took the letter from Dumbledore's hand, he glanced at the letter, it was obviously written in a script of middle earth but it was not one that Aragorn was familiar with, he passed it to Legolas who had no greater success in its translation, he passed it to Boromir who glanced at it and then said
"Mayhap it will make sense to the hobbits"
"It may…it may indeed" said Dumbledore, "Would you care to accompany me to the kitchens?"
All three nodded as they were eager to find out the meaning of Sam's message.
It was quiet in the kitchens when they entered, although the customary house-elf came and asked them if they would like anything to eat, they declined. They gave the note to Frodo as Merry and Pippin were absorbed by Dobby's tales of the many pranks that had been proformed by the weasly twins. Frodo's face lit up as he started to read it
"Sam is safe…well as safe as it is possible to be in the situation he is in at the moment, he is in the kitchens, he says that there are five house elves working for this evil person, he wonders if the bat person could bring more clothes for the elves, and that they could perhaps be portkeys…" Frodo trailed off
"May I ask what is the script it is written in it was unfamiliar to me" said Aragorn
"This…this is the common tongue but Sam never really learn his letter properly, his father always told him all he needed letters for was to mark out the rows in the vegetable patch…this is the written common tongue of under the hill"
"Now all is made clear" said Boromir with a laugh, "tis the same in the cities of Gondor, only the rich are able to read and write with ease"
"Well, Frodo you have been a great aid to me, I will now be able to inform mister Snape that Samwise is safe and has created a plan for escape…"
Unfortunately for Sam he had not been successful in remaining unnoticed, he had just started to doze when a large black shape had entered the kitchen Sam put up a good fight. Managing to drive the shape out of the kitchen with fists and feet he then transformed into the wild cat and hid on a high shelf. Then a creature the size of a tall man with a white face and red eyes entered the kitchen
"Where is the intruder have you been hiding him…vermin…impero" the man waved his wand at Wisey
"Where is the intruder, answer me truthfully"
Wisey tried to fight but it was impossible
"On the top of that shelf master"
"Crucio…never shelter intruders again report all visitor to me at once is this understood"
The house elves nodded, the Master pointed his wand at the shelf Sam was sitting on
"Reducto"
Sam sprang to the ground and returned to his normal form,
"What are you?" asked the red eyed person coldly
"Who wants to know," asked Sam
"Do you not know who I am?" Sam shook his head
"I am the dark lord Voldermort"
"I've only ever heard of one dark lord…Sauron…"
"I am the greatest"
"you don't look as scary as what my old gaffer told me Sauron looked like…and Boromir said that Sauron was a great eye lidless wreathed in flame"
"May I enquire what you are doing here?"
"I'm lost"
"A likely story…maybe pain will loosen your tongue?"
"no…its more likely to make me lose it if you know what I mean…I don't like being threatened…I aint going to talk anymore no matter what you do to me" Sam slipped off the langue ring and place it in his secret pocket along with the box of seasoning he had brought with him from the shire.
Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli were talking together quietly.
"So, you three will be going to the castle on Snape's head, and once there will rescue Sam" Gimli was saying
"Yes, Legolas will transform us into flies we will be able to travel on Snape's head, without him noticing" said Aragorn
that evening just as Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir were preparing to eave there was a timid knock on their door and Harry poked his head around the door and asked if they could have a DA meeting, everyone agreed, at the end of the meeting Harry noticed that Legolas Boromir and Aragorn were not there…neither were two of the Hobbits, once the last DA member had gone Harry took out the marauder's map and revealed it, to his immense surprise he saw that the dots labelled Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir and Snape were all merged as one, in the corner of Snape's office was a dot labelled Frodo Baggins
"Something is happening in Snape's office," said Harry
Ron and Hermione looked at the map and turned away their eyebrows raised.
"My father's cloak?"
Hermione nodded
Snape was not looking forward to having to go to the dark lord's lair again to night but it could not be helped. The door opened and then closed again, he frowned…it must be Potter, Snape smiled, if he could catch Potter in the act then he would be able to have the arrogant brat expelled, he charged at the door, failing wildly hoping to be able to grab hold of the invisibility cloak, he was perplexed when he found nothing. He almost jumped out of his skin when there was knock on the door, he composed himself and opened it, there was no one there he walked up the corridor a little but found no one. He returned to his office. Ten minutes later his arm started to burn he cursed and got into his deatheaters gi…his portkey was not self activating
He said the code required to make it work and he left
