CHAPTER 7

'Oh no, no, no!' Hermione snarled, literally snarled, tossing a book down, before running her hands through her overly frizzy hair.

'Relax 'Mione, everything will be fine, we just have to keep looking.' Harry soothed. He had never seen her so careless with any books, her personality seemed as frazzled as her hair over all this.

'Don't you dare tell me to relax Harry Potter, I. Am. Fine.' She stressed in an unnatural voice, before burying herself in another book, how there could be so many on one subject baffled Harry.

Harry sat quietly, still searching the book he had. Ron had disappeared, after exhausting his pile, most likely to search out more.

A few more minutes passed before a sudden banging door alerted them to a new person in the library.

'Not taking the beetles seriously, Merlin, it will destroy the whole forest…' The pair quietly watched as Professor Sprout walked passed them and into the Restricted Section of the library… muttering non stop, they heard a familiar voice answering a moment later, Sam.

'Think we should-' Harry was immediately cut off.

'Don't know, don't care, we have enough problems of our own.' Hermione snapped at him, scratching sharply with her quill on the parchment as she found a long monotonous paragraph that might prove worthwhile.

Harry unconsciously moved his chair away from her, a little bit afraid… maybe it was just that time of the month, or… or… well he hoped, whatever it was, it was a natural thing that could right itself, really, really soon.

He suddenly felt a hand pat his back, nearly falling off his seat. Maybe he should have taken up those extra lessons that Dumbledore had been talking about, the ones that would sharpen his senses. Now he definitely was reconsidering it as he turned, to be met with a mysterious boy, no girl-with the face covered with her dark hair like that she had looked like a boy- towered over him, smirking.

Well, not really towering… she was too short to do that, he glanced down, noting she was on tiptoe.

'Don't worry mate, she will be right as rain by the end of this story.' The extremely pale girl frowned. 'I mean by the end of you fixing this mess somehow… which I am sure you will… and…. um…' The girl suddenly looked uncomfortable and with a nervous bye and wave, she sprinted out of the library, leaving Harry to stare.

'Herm, that girl who just was here-'

'What girl?'

'The one who was just behind me, talking.'

Hermione blinked, giving him a funny look. 'Ron is right, you really are going nuts aren't you?'

'I am not!' Harry muttered indignantly.

'Uh huh, find anything more?' Harry shook his head, turning back to the book.

Both looked up when Ron came running up to them, an excited look in his eyes.

'Ron, did you find t-' Hermione was cut off by an excited redhead.

'Guys, I know this sounds weird, but…' With that he was off and running with his idea.


'We weren't doing anything! We were just taking a look around the grounds-'

'-and we knew that it was safe-'

'-not to mention the fact we are both full grown hobbits-'

'-we didn't think we would have to ask your permission, we are the same bloody age!'

The pair of 'twin' hobbits finished, yelling out the last part together, startling Aragorn.

'That may be, but this is not where you are used to, and you should not be out wandering around all over the place, it just isn't safe.' Aragorn turned curiously as the door slammed closed, Sam's handiwork it seemed, he followed the hobbit with his eyes as he plucked up his coat and the few packets of things he had had in his pockets before being brought to Hogwarts. A moment later he hurried back out with only a glance and a nod at the three of them.

'Oh, playing favourites are we then? Why is it he can do as he pleases, while we get a scolding?'

'Because he is going out to help one of the teachers with some sort of plant problem, you two however were just trying to sneak around and do who knows what.'

'Besides the point.' Merry muttered, turning to go and sit down, he ignored the snoring Boromir on one of the couches.

'Loud isn't he?' Pippin smiled, jumping into the chair beside him.

'So, what do you think of that greasy thing in hall that was practically swooning over Gandalf?' Merry said, mainly to get the fact out of what they had got to watch.

'He was not swooning!' Olorin bellowed from behind a door that connected to the next room.

'He was, he is just too embarrassed to admit it.' Aragorn was chuckling at it all.

'Gandalf, someone having a crush on Gandalf, never thought I would see the day…' An indignant shout came from the door again, waking Boromir.

'whuzhapnin? Wherthor's?' He fumbled at his side, looking for the sword that wasn't there, but leaning against his bed, three rooms away.

'Nothing is happening 'Mir, we were just poking fun at someone mooning over Gandalf.

With an almighty yawn Boromir said 'I never thought I would see the day that someone went after him.' He let out another yawn.

'That is definitely highly agreed with.' Merry snickered.

'They would make a good couple though wouldn't they?' Pippin said absently, suddenly throwing himself out of his seat with a squawk as a series of random objects were thrown at him from the now opened door, they saw a glaring, blushing, face glare out from the crack in the door, before disappearing again

'It would appear the feelings are mutual.' Aragorn said, laughing as he ducked an odd racket thing hurrying out of the room.


Ron hefted up the potion ingredients, as Hermione opened the bag, Harry held another armload of carefully sorted items to go inside.

'I really hope this works.' Harry mumbled after the next armload had been taken from him.

'Come on, we have to get and round them all up.' Quickly they left, rushing down to the rarely used corridor.


Sam fell onto the ground with an appreciative sigh. He was covered in dirt, and it looked like the majority of his packets had been used, Sprout fell to the ground beside him.

'I cannot thank you enough Mr. Gamgee, with all your help, I think we just might beat these bugs!' She had a smile the size of a canyon on her face.

'Just call me Sam and-' he paused to yawn. '- don't worry about it, I do however feel that a nap would be perfect right now.' He stood, with a smile and a wave made his way back to the castle. He had nearly gotten to the doors when they burst open, revealing the trio, followed by the rest of the fellowship

'Sam! Hurry up! They think they've finally figured something out!' Frodo cried out, not meaning to sound so exasperated on the something. He was quite excited, though he paused, shielding his eyes from the sunlight. Being cooped up in his room undisturbed to read since they had gotten their first books had not left him to many sun rays.

'What? Really?' His eyes shone. 'Oh boy! I hope Daisy and all are all right and oh dear, all the paper work that must have piled up and-' Ron covered his mouth.

'Relax and come with us, if we do this right you might not have to worry about that at all…'

With that the large party hurried back inside, unknown to them, they were watched from one of the many windows that were part of Hogwarts.

'An idea hm? This might prove interesting.'


Well, all things must come to an end, this will be soon, I do have a sort of story I am figuring out as a follow up of sorts... why does no one know
