The remainder of the Fellowship of the Ring and the three Hogwarts students were sitting around the camp talking. Frodo had gone on a walk and Boromir went to collect firewood. Hermione was arguing with Ron where they were.

"We probably just ended up in some foreign country where people are very different."

"But Ron, I've read so many books and not one of them has ever mentioned hobbits, dwarves or elves like these."

"Well maybe we went back in time somehow and um .... Look I don't know what happened but we had better find a way out of here."

"We can't, those two .... hobbits touched the portkey and now we're stuck."

At that moment there was a flash and Severus Snape appeared looking puzzled. As soon as he saw the strange company around the campfire he cried out in surprise and jumped back. The wooden pipe he held flew out of his hand and landed in the swift stream of Anduin the Great and was carried away by the current.

"Potter ...... Weasley ...... Granger ..... what are you doing here? What is this place?"

"We don't really know for certain Professor." Hermione said in a matter-of-fact voice. "I believe it was a portkey."

"The pipe fell into the river!" Harry exclaimed.

"Can you swim for it?" Ron asked.

"That would be very foolish." Gandalf said standing up. "Anduin flows swiftly and the Falls of Rauros are nearby." Turning the bewildered Professor he asked "Are you another one of these wizards?"

"Yes I am, but I do not know how I came here if it was a portkey then we are in trouble."

A clear horn called echoed through the woods.

"The horn of Gondor!" Aragorn exclaimed "Boromir is in need."

"Frodo still isn't back yet." Sam said worried.

The fellowship of the ring sprang up and drew their weapons. The others pulled out their wands. Everyone ran into the woods. Aragorn and Sam ran up the slope towards Amon Hen, Harry and his friends followed by Snape went behind the rest of the Fellowship. Hundreds of Uruk Hai streamed down the hill through the trees. Soon the clashing of swords rang though the trees. Harry and his friends were casting spells in all directions. Hermione was saved from getting a scimitar in the throat by the shield charm that she had used. Ron's arm got nicked by the edge of a sword. He stunned the Uruk that had attacked him and then retreated back to the river.

On the river bank was Frodo, looking across to the other side.

"Hey!" Ron said coming up from behind. "You wouldn't happen to have a bandage would you?"

Merry and Pippin were lost. They had been running around Hogwarts for hours and they hadn't found the way out. The only thing they had run into was the Bloody Baron which they were hiding from.

"I don't think it's going to follow us." Pippin said. "Do you think it was a wraith or a Barrow-Wight?"

"I would rather not think about it. Whatever it is, it's creepy."

"Maybe we should climb out of a window since we can't find the door."

"Have you looked out a window yet?" said Merry. "We're way up high. You couldn't jump or climb or ..."

"Someone's coming. Hide!"

The hobbits shuffled behind a suit of armor. A group of students walked past them.

"What is this place?" said Pippin, stepping out into the hallway.

"I don't know." said Merry "Those people looked normal enough."

Suddenly a pale looking boy came around the corner. He stopped at the sight of them.

"What are you supposed to be? House-elves?" He asked.

"Run!" Cried Merry.
