Ok I own none of the characters in this story. As you will find out as the
story goes on this is a Harry Potter, LOTR crossover. This story takes
place in Harry's 6th year and In Fangore right after Gandlaf's departure.
Chapter 1- Meetings
"Harry wait up!"
"Ron hurry up! We are going to be late for class."
"I know but..." Ron stopped panting at Harry's side.
"Just come on. I am not being late for this Transfiguration twice in one week." Harry said in an annoyed tone.
"Alright I just needed to catch my breath." Ron said a little hurt that Harry was getting angry over this.
As the two of them ran to class, dodging classmates and such Ron started to think again as he had for the past few nights.
"RON!" Harry shouted.
"What Harry?" Ron snapped back.
"You just ran past the classroom. Come back before you are tardy."
Ron had run past the classroom. He had used these halls thousands of times and he walked right past the class still thinking that he need to go to the next floor.
"I wonder why I did that?" Ron thought to himself as he walked into the classroom. He just dismissed it as being to involved in what he was thinking to know where he was.
Harry and Ron took seats right next together and proceeded to get out their books and pens.
"I was wondering when you two would get here." Professor Mcgonagall said.
"I'm sorry we were almost late Professor. We got stuck in the Great Hall. Everyone was leaving and we couldn't make it out in time." Harry thought quickly.
"Likely story Potter. I saw you and Mr. Weasly doing homework in the library. You didn't even stop till after the bell rang. And I bet that was the homework I assigned last week." Professor Mcgonagall snapped. "Now class tun to page 189 in your books."
"Geesh! She didn't have to get all over us like that." Ron exclaimed. "I bet we weren't the first people she has had who did her homework at the last minute."
"You two get quiet or I will give you both detention." Mcgonagall Spat at the two boys.
Ron and Harry were quiet for the rest of class. As they sat there they took a few notes. Neither of them were paying much attention. Ron had started doodling on his parchment. Harry had put his quill down and started to play with a piece of fuzz from off his uniform.
"Ron! Harry! I want you two to show the class how to do this charm. You must know how because you haven't been taking any notes."
Ron and Harry just sat there looking at each other.
"Well what are you waiting for show us." Mcgonagall said.
"We don't know how to perform the charm Professor."
"I thought as much, detention for the both of you. Report to my office tomorrow night at 7:00, in the evening."
The class ended as usual with an essay due by next week. Except this time she gave Harry and Ron an extra assignment due the next class.
As the elf and dwarf rode steadily on they both stared in wonder at the beautiful trees around them.
"They have so many stories to tell." Legolas said finally. "This forest is old and wise."
Gimli just looked around at the trees not enjoying them as much. "All I see is a forest that is dark and uninviting."
"Gimli if you would look harder, and with an open mind and heart, you will sense the trees memories. Don't hold yourself back. Any reservations will lead to the blockage of the memory's passage." Legolas tried to explain.
"I have a better idea. You can read the trees memories and tell me about them." Gimli said.
"It doesn't work that way Gimli. You have to let the trees communicate to you through pictures in your mind and then translate what you perceive. Nothing that the trees tell you can be expressed by any words that we have." Legolas explained to Gimli.
"Fine you talk to your trees and I will be on the look out for some strange creature. I bet once I let my guard down something bad is going to happen." Gimli said staring around at all the dark trees.
"Gimli my friend you need to learn how to relax, and that not always does something bad have to happen."
"Well...I still am going to keep a look out. Never know when something is going to attack you."
The two walked along side Shadowfax, which Gandalf had given them before he had left for across the sea. Everyone missed Gandalf, but everyone knew why he had to go. He just wasn't needed anymore. And he deserved a nice retirement. As for Frodo's going...that was unexpected. Everyone missed the little hobbit. He had won the respect of everyone. And he had won their friendship. Something like that was never put aside easily.
Gimli had been watching for an hour and had seen nothing stir except for the elf and him. He was about to give up on keeping watch. Maybe Legolas was right. Nothing was going to hurt them in this forest. So he closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep to the steady pulse of the drum.
"Wait a minute." Gimli thought opening his eyes at once. "There is no drum."
"I can't believe she gave us detention." Ron said.
"Me neither. She must be mad at something, or someone, Because we didn't do anything really. I mean we only weren't paying attention. What was so bad about that?"
"Who knows. But at any rate your stuck with me till your detention is up." Hagrid said.
"Hagrid!" Both Harry and Ron exclaimed.
"You are giving us detention?" Ron asked.
"Yup! Mcgonagall assigned you two to me cause she had too much work to do. So lets walk down to me hut and get the supplies we need." Hagrid said enthusiastically.
"Hagrid what is our detention?" Harry asked.
"Yeah Hagrid are you going to give an easy one?" Ron asked excited to know they would be spending the night with Hagrid and not Professor Mcgonagall.
"Yeah it is pretty easy. I'm gonna take you into the Forrest and let you help me pick some mushrooms. Dobby needs some for the cooking later on this fall. I think he is going to use them in one of the Holloween soups." Hagrid said as if that was going to be the best punishment in the world.
"You...you are going to make us go in there?" Ron stammered. "La...last time we were there we almost got eaten be a spider."
"Well...yes but this time you're with me. There is nothing to worry about." Hagrid said.
With that Hagrid turned around and walked to his Hut. Harry and Ron waited outside for him until he came out with a few pouches, gloves, and a shovel.
"Hagrid what do we need the gloves and shovel for. All we are doing is picking mushrooms right?" Harry Asked.
"Well yes." Hagrid said. "But these mushrooms are underground. So we have to dig them up, and the gloves are just so we don't get dirty."
"Since when do you care about getting dirty?" Ron asked.
Hagrid just gave them a funny look and turned toward the forest. "Come on. We have to go pretty far in to get these." Hagrid said.
They walked for what seamed like an hour. They walked in and out of clearings and into a place with hundreds of tiny trees and then in places with 20 huge trees. They finally stopped and Hagrid threw the shovel onto the ground.
"Here we are. Now all we have to do is dig em up." Hagrid said.
"How much fun this is going to be!" Ron said sarcastically.
The three dug for a while and got a lot of mushrooms. They were just about to head back when it started to pour. The three were wet in a matter of seconds.
"Hurry into that tree!" Harry shouted. Harry ran into a hollow tree that was three times bigger than Hagrid. Ron and Hagrid followed so they could get out of the rain. When they got into the tree Harry was nowhere to be seen. Ron and Hagrid just looked at each other in puzzlement.
"Legolas! What is that beating?"
"I don't know. I am following it now to see. I have searched to memories of the trees and they have no recollection of it."
The elf and dwarf moved closer to the noise and soon found it to be coming form a huge hollowed out tree. It was big enough to fit one hundred elves into it.
"What kind of tree is that?" Gimli asked looking into it.
"I don't know. I have never encountered a tree like this before." Legolas said.
Just as they were about to turn away from this massive tree a boy appeared.
"What in the name of Gandalf just happened?" Gimli asked starring in wonder at the black haired green-eyed boy who had just appeared in front of them.
"My name is Harry Potter. Where am I?" Harry said looking very confused at the elf and dwarf.
"I am Legolas and this is my campaign Gimli." Legolas said pointing to himself and Gimli. "You are in Fangore forest." Legolas said walking toward the boy and the tree.
"Were is that? Somewhere in Scotland?" Harry asked puzzled.
"What in bloody being is Scotland?" Gimli asked.
"Boy you are in Middle Earth. Where are you from?"
"I am from Earth, England to be exact." Harry said. He was thoroughly confused by this point.
Legolas got down from his horse and walked into the tree with Harry. He was just about to shake Harry's hand when he vanished. Harry and Gimli just stared. They had no idea what had just happened.
As the rain stopped Hagrid and Ron stepped out of the tree. As they started to look for Harry a figure was seen walking out of the tree.
"Oh Harry there you are. You gave us a good worry there for a minute." Hagrid said.
"Sir I'm not Harry. My name is Legolas."
