Okay, I know this took a million years, but I had to write a story for school and I went way over the word limit and my "muse" has been very overworked lately. Also, I was reading Seabiscuit and I couldn't stop reading. I don't know how this chapter will turn out, but please forgive me if I keep putting in Bare-Naked Ladies songs, I just got a new CD. Also, this one is really short, but I'll try to update tomorrow or later tonight. I just want to get something up right away, and I want stop writing for a while. Anyway, on with the show!

Narrator: Jack, Will and Bill waited for about a week for Dumbledore's answer. Jack and Will still hated each other and were still driving Bill crazy, who could very often be heard cursing his slow owl. Finally, after days of waiting with nothing to do but eat, sleep, swim, watch TV, play ping-pong and foosball, they received Dumbledore's reply.

Bill: (running downstairs to where Jack and Will are playing foosball. Again) I GOT IT! HE REPLIED! Come here, we need to read this. (Will and Jack stop playing and go huddle around Bill while he opens the letter) YES! Dumbledore says that you can come to Hogwarts. He didn't know he was taking Elizabeth away from her family and he can tell that one of you is a wizard. We'll be going by the floo network, and Hagrid will meet you on the other side. YES! I'M GOING TO GET RID OF YOU! FINALLY! (starts dancing around waving the paper and singing tunelessly about getting rid of them)

Will: Are we really that bad?

Jack: Yup. I can't believe you didn't notice we've been driving him crazy since we got here. You're so stupid.

Will: (glowering) Not as stupid as you!

Bill (noticing for the first time that Jack and Will are about to start bickering again) Come on, not a moment to lose! Get your stuff, pack and meet me in the living room. Hurry, hurry go on! (Will and Jack leave, looking slightly annoyed, but doing what Bill says anyway. Finally they meet in the living room with their bags packed)

Jack: How are we getting there? We're not going on one of those trains are we? (looks suspicious) I'll never trust anything but the Pearl.

Bill: No, you're going by floo powder. (grabs a pinch from the pot he's holding) Okay, so you take a pinch, throw it in the fire and say Hogsmeade. Close your eyes and remember to keep your elbows in. Jack you go first! (Offers Jack the pot)

Jack: (looking dubious) Fine. (takes a pinch of floo powder, and throws it in the fire)

Bill: Now step into the fire and say Hogsmeade! (pushes Jack into the fire)

Jack: Hogsmeade! (disappears and after a minute stumbles out of a completely different fireplace) Where am I?

Hagrid: Hogsmeade! Now get out of the way, Will should' be comin' soon.

Jack: (jumping out of the way) What's Hogsmeade?

Hagrid: It's a town. It's close ter Hogwarts, so all we'll have to do is walk up ter the school.

Will: (falling out of the fireplace, coughing) Where am I?

Jack: Honestly, don't you know anything? Why do you think we said Hogsmeade?

We're in Hogsmeade. Hurry up, I want to get to this school. See what all the fuss is about.

Hagrid: (looking surprised) Well, follow me then.

Narrator: Back on the Hogwarts Express a couple of days ago, the students are just reaching school. Elizabeth joins the first years in the traditional rowing the boats across the lake, and gets sorted into Ravenclaw. After the banquet she heads up towards the dorm with the other Ravenclaws.

Elizabeth: (looking around and talking to no one in particular) It's huge.

Random Ravenclaw #78: Yeah, it's really hard to find your way around at first. I can help you out if you get lost.

Elizabeth: (looking surprised) Thanks! I think I'm going to need it, and I don't seem to be extremely popular because I'm so old.

Random Ravenclaw #78: That does make it difficult to get people to help you out. I'm Amy.

Elizabeth: Elizabeth (shakes hands)

Amy: I'm in fourth year. Why are you starting so late?

Elizabeth: I'm not quite sure. I'm going to talk to Dumbledore tomorrow I think. You're in fourth year? Do you know Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley or Harry Potter?

Amy: (laughing) Who doesn't know Harry Potter? Yeah, I know them. They're really nice. Why?

Elizabeth: Hermione was kinda showing me around on the train. She was really nice.

Amy: Yeah.

Random Ravenclaw Prefect #3: The password is Chimpanzees!

Elizabeth: Password?

Amy: Yeah, you need the password to get into the common room. Don't worry they're really easy to remember. The portrait has an obsession with the Bare-Naked Ladies. Just borrow the CD from someone and you'll be able to remember any of the passwords.

Elizabeth: CD?

Amy: It's a muggle thing that they use to play music. They record music onto it and when they want to hear the music they can play it back.

Elizabeth: (remembering what a muggle is, why a portrait would have passwords and trying to understand Amy's description of a CD, is luckily saved by the portrait opening and the Ravenclaws filing into their common room)

Amy: See you tomorrow. We have different dorms. Yours is the bottom one. Your trunk should already be there. (waves and goes up stairs to girl's dorms)

Elizabeth: (follows)

Narrator: A couple days from now, in Dumbledore's office, we find Will and Jack. They're talking to Dumbledore about what they will be doing at Hogwarts for the next year.

Dumbledore: Jack, I believe that you are a wizard. When we are finished deciding what

Will is going to do, you will be sorted into a house. I'll give you the speech later. Will, what are you going to do? Do you want to stay here, or do you want to be returned to your time?

Will: I will never leave Elizabeth!

Dumbledore: Okay. We don't have any positions open for muggles right now. You could either apprentice yourself to the gamekeeper, Hagrid, or to Argus Filch, our caretaker.

Will: I'll stay with Hagrid. He was nice. He gave me candy! (pulls out a lollypop and begins sucking on it and smiling like some little kid whose entire existence is to eat sugar, complain, and be hyper)

Dumbledore: Okay then. (turns to Jack) Your house is where you will stay. You will eat, sleep and take classes based on what your house is. The prefects of your house are there to enforce rules. Obey them. Now, I'll get the Sorting Hat. All I have to do is put it on you, and you will be sorted. (picks up Sorting Hat and puts it on Jack's head)

Sorting Hat: (quietly) Hhhhhhhmmm, very smart. Very very smart. Pretty courageous. Definitely not a Slytherin though. I'd say (loudly) RAVENCLAW!

Dumbledore: (whisking hat off his head) Very good, very good. Will, Hagrid's hut is on the grounds next to the Forbidden Forest. You will stay there. Jack, I'll get Elizabeth to show you where classes are. We'll catch her in between classes at the next switch.

Jack: Okay then.

Narrator: Meanwhile, Frodo, Harry and Sam had gotten very close. Frodo had introduced the Fellowship to Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred and George. Fred and George were getting on quite well with Merry and Pippin. They were plotting something, and Fred had asked Harry for the Marauders Map back so he could teach Merry and Pippin the secret passageways of Hogwarts. Ginny, Gimli and Legolas were having a wonderful time thinking up new ways to do each other's hair. Hermione was getting on quite well with Gandalf, and they were swapping mythology stories. Sam and Ron were getting along quite well and having a good time trying to outdo each other with sidekick stories. Aragorn had joined Harry and Frodo constantly acting like a smug drunk monkey. Elizabeth had also joined their group of friends, mostly hanging out with Ginny, Gimli and Legolas, but occasionally spending her time with Hermione and Gandalf. Everything was going well for the Fellowship, and people had almost stopped giving them weird looks until the day before Jack and Will arrived at Hogwarts. Our scene opens in the library, with Harry, Frodo and Aragorn "doing research" for a project, while Sam, Hermione and Ron did research so that Harry, Frodo and Aragorn could copy off their papers later.

Random Hufflepuff #9867: (whispering at nearby table) Do you think he's THE Frodo Baggins? I mean, how many people have those eyes? Or that beautiful name?

Random Gryffindor # 487: I know, he's so dreamy. Let's just ask him where he's from.

Random Hufflepuff #2476: Yeah, we should (Frodo Fan Club (FFC) walks over to Frodo and Random Gryffindor #487 steps out of the crowd)

Random Gryffindor # 487: Hey, Frodo. Where are you from?

Frodo: The Shire. I used to live at Bag End-(is interrupted by screams from his fan club as he is carried off by them) SAM! Help me Sam!

Sam: I'M COMING MR. FRODO!!!!!! (jumps onto tables and runs after Frodo, trying to save him from the mob of fan girls. The mob, Frodo and Sam all disappear out the door of the library)

crickets chirping

Ron: That was interesting.

Hermione: (looking disgusted) Those sick girls. I wonder what will happen to Frodo?

Narrator: After a day of not seeing Frodo, Sam or any of the fan girls, the Fellowship gave up hope of ever seeing Frodo again. The situation was not helped by the fact that Hermione got a letter from her parents telling her about a report on the news about Frodo Baggins having been found in England, swamped by fan girls. It didn't look like he would ever be able to get away from them ,but at least Sam was there at his side.
