Ok, I know I haven't updated forever, my sincerest apologies (does Jack Sparrow hand bowing apology thing). I was busy and lazy, which means I was busy for a while, then I got free time and read instead of writing. I finally looked at my story on , and realized just how impossible computers are. In the new format it doesn't put in my paragraphs, so it's really hard to read. Sorry happy people! I'll try and fix it. Anyway, this chap might be really bad because I haven't written in so long, but on with the show anyway!

Back at Hagrid's hut Elizabeth has finally managed to speak to Will without being chattered into the next century. Oh wait, she's already in the next century. Sorry about that.

"Will, I'm glad you're so excited to see me, but why are you suddenly so hyper? Usually you're just rogueishly ready for anything and to move around. Now you're just way too sugar high," Will looked stricken, and a tear slid down his face.

"You don't like me anymore?" he whimpered.

"Yes, but you're acting like a little kid,"

"HAGRID! Elizabeth's being mean to me!" Will wailed. Hagrid appeared at the door and gathered the smaller man into his arms.

"It's okay Will, I'm sure she didn't mean it," he looked meaningfully at Elizabeth. "Did ya Elizabeth?"

"Yes, I did mean it!" Elizabeth yelled, exasperated. "I'm sorry Will, but if you keep acting like this I'm going to have to break off our engagement!" Elizabeth pulled off the cheap diamond ring(he hadn't been able to afford anything better) and dropped it into Hagrid's hand, as she couldn't see much of Will from inside Hagrid's arms. "You're not the same piratey Will I knew back at Port Royal. If he happens to come back, let me know," she stalked off back towards the castle, sick of both Will and Hagrid. 'I think I'll go study with Harry' she thought. 'He's so much more mature than Will. And his eyes are so green and pretty. Pretty, pretty pretty...'

"Sparrow, Brandybuck and Took please stay back. We need to discuss your detentions," McGonagall's voice cut through the air as Jack, Merry and Pippin froze. They had been the first to the door at the end of double Transfiguration (Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs) hoping the professor wouldn't notice them and they would be able to escape before she called them over to her desk. They slowly turned and slid dejectedly back to the front of the classroom. The other students watched them with sad expressions on their faces.

"Now, as you three now know, there is no drinking of alcoholic beverages in this school. Because you were not entirely aware of this rule when you broke it, I will be lenient in your punishments. However, if it happens again, I shall not be so kind. Sparrow, you are now on probation. If you get into anymore serious trouble, you will be sent back to Port Royal immediately. All three of you will serve a week's worth of detentions with Mr. Filch. Report to his office every night this week at 7:00. On a much lighter note, Boromir's replacement has arrived," Merry and Pippin leaned forward eagerly, wondering who it would be. "Arwen Undomiel will be joining you. She has been placed in Hufflepuff. Mr. Brandybuck and Mr. Took, I will expect you to show her where everything is, and help her catch up on her lost time here. She should be waiting for you outside right now. I suggest you hurry to your next classes, or you'll be late," McGonagall began correcting some papers by fourth year Gryffindors, completely ignoring the three students in front of her. They left the room to find Arwen standing outside, looking at a statue of a wizard looking like a huge prat while holding a scroll out for everyone to see.

"They really don't have any taste here at all do they?" she asked no one in particular. "That is probably the ugliest statue I've ever seen. I mean, even Daddy didn't have that bad of decorating, and you've seen his,"

"Hello Arwen," Merry interrupted.

"Merry! Pippin! Other guy that I don't know his name, but has the handsome manly look down even better that Aragorn! What a surprise!" Arwen smiled, turning to look at them as if just seeing them, even though they had been standing there for about thirty seconds already, and weren't really doing anything to keep quiet. So much for the amazing elvish senses.

"Hi. This is Jack," Merry introduced him, "Jack, this is Arwen. Now, Arwen, I know you don't really like work, but we have to get to our next class. Just follow me and Pip, and we won't let anything happen to you," Merry grinned, well aware that many things would happen to Arwen when she was with Merry and Pippin, but also well aware that Professor McGonagall was probably listening to them from inside her classroom.

"You're so cute!" Arwen giggled. "Lead the way. I can tell I'm going to have so much fun here. Bye Jack!" Arwen followed Merry down the corridor as Pippin and Jack made loud gagging noises behind her.

So, I know it's a short chap, but I should have another up soon. R/R please, if nobody reviews, I won't have any motivation for the next chap and I'll never post it even if I do write it. I want to know if anyone is even reading this anymore. Also, I just went back over some of my other chaps and realized how bad they really are, so new versions should be up soon. I finally got the computer to work right, and the other format works. Try reading again if the story didn't make sense the first time.
