Thanks for reviewing everyone!!!! As an answer to your question Healing Hands...if anyone has ever read any of my FF on other sites, which I doubt because they're all small and little known LOTR or HP sites, you know that I wish LOTR had more girls in it so when I write stories I always add more girls to the Fellowship and when I write sequels I always replace Aragorn's son..... errrr something with an E.... with a daughter, Aragwen. I hope this won't turn you away from this story. Anyway since you were all so quick about reviewing I decided to be very quick about adding another chapter!
They hurriedly finished packing and went down to the common room and saw Professor McGonagal standing there waiting for them. They followed her out of the portrait hole and back through the halls and again they stood before the stone gargoyles.
"Ice Mice" said Professor McGonagal
They again stepped on the moving stairs and went through the door and back into Dumbledore's office. Snape was there too with Malfoy who still looked very angry with himself for agreeing to go and Dumbledore stood waiting.
"We have informed all your parents or guardians and they have all agreed. Mr. Weasley your parents understood and said they loved you and would miss you and all your siblings said goodbye and Fred and George tried to give me some of their trick candy to give to you as a going away present." Dumbledore chuckled slightly. "Miss Granger your parents were wary but understood the urgency of the situation and said that they love you and will miss you and good luck to you all. Mr. Potter, your aunt and uncle didn't care in the slightest they just wanted me out of their house. And Mr. Malfoy your mother did understand. Surprisingly." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Well, you are all packed and ready to go. But I must ask one thing of you Aragwen."
"Yes?"
"Would it be alright if I accompanied my students?"
"Of course! Great wizards like yourself are always needed!"
"Splendid! Now if you would kindly explain how we are to get to Middle Earth?"
Aragwen smiled, "Yes, Elvish magic which I must attempt to do. Which could prove difficult seeing as I am only half Elven my self." She rummaged through her pack and extracted a small slip of wrinkled parchment, looked at it, closed her eyes, held out her hand, and mumbled some strange words. Nothing happened. "Oh by the Valar, Why isn't anything ever easy for me!" she mumbled exasperatedly. She tried again and this time seemed to be concentrating harder. There was a loud swishing noise and a swirling cloudlike something appeared before Aragwen. Her eyes snapped open and she smiled broadly. "There we go! I'll step through first and you can follow me." She slung her pack onto her back and with a smile stepped into the vortex and vanished with a whoosh.
"Alright, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco you all go next, together, and I'll follow" Dumbledore gave them a little push. They nervously stepped into it. Immediately they were spinning round very fast and all they could see was swirling fog. Then suddenly they were dropped to the ground. Harry stood up and looked around it was dark and he was standing in a vast field Aragwen was there as well standing staring up at the stars with a smile on her face.
"Wow...Middle Earth." Said Hermione looking around as well. Ron and Draco were looking around too with their mouths open.
"Yes, it's beautiful isn't it." Said Aragwen. Just then Dumbledore landed near them stood up and brushed himself off.
"Well here we all are. Now, where are we going?"
"To my home, the capitol of Gondor." Aragwen began walking and they followed her.
"What's Gondor?" Ron asked as they walked.
"The largest domain of Men in Middle Earth with many cities and princedoms." As they continued walking Aragwen chatted happily about Middle Earth obviously happy to be home.
Suddenly it began to rain, "Ah! That's sudden!" said Hermione.
"Not in Southern Middle Earth, we don't get snow until much later." Said Aragwen pulling up her hood. A few minutes later a great mountain range loomed before them and they saw built into a mountain what looked like a great city. Soon they were right before it and saw even through the rain that it was built of pure white stone and seemed to be built on many levels finishing at the top with a great white tower. But right in front of them now was a great gate made of strong wood with pictures of tall noble looking men with crowns. It whole sight was so splendid that even Malfoy couldn't help but say wow.
"Who are you? And what is your business in the city?" said a voice from above. Looking up they saw guards standing erect through the rain on top of the wall.
"Just open the gates!" said Aragwen.
"No one is allowed into the city without identification." Said the guard.
Aragwen threw back her hood in exasperation and looked up towards the guards her brown locks getting soaked with rain, "In the name of the King just let me through!"
The guards seemed taken aback, "My apologies. You heard the girl! Open the gate!"
The great gate began to creak open. Aragwen turned to them and smiling said, "Welcome, to Minas Tirith!" they stepped through the gates and into the great city.
"Wow...." Harry said. The city was even more amazing inside.
"The whole city is made of white marble. And it's built on seven levels." Said Aragwen beginning to walk very quickly.
"And which level are we headed to?" asked Ron, hurrying to keep up with Aragwen's long strides.
"To the very top, to the Citadel where the King dwells."
"What?!" said Malfoy who was beginning to be out of breath already.
They continued walking up and up struggling to keep up with Aragwen's staggering pace. She obviously knew her way around even through the rain and dark for by now it was getting quite late in the evening. After about fifteen minutes of walking they finally reached the final level of the city and the rain had somewhat subsided. The seventh level of Minas Tirith was a great round courtyard of white marble with the great white Citadel towering over all. In the center of the courtyard was a fountain next to an amazing tree. It was pure white from the trunk and branches to the flowers and leaves and the whole thing seemed to glitter even through the dark and drizzling rain.
"Oh!" said Hermione, "It's so beautiful!"
"Yes! The White Tree! The Tree of Kings!" cried Aragwen happily. As they walked by it she reached down and ran her hand through the water.
When they reached the Citadel door the guards bowed low, "Shall we summon the King?" asked one.
"No, Tandiar just let me through." Said Aragwen.
"As you wish my lady" said the guard opening the door.
They stepped into a great hall made of yet more white marble. All along the sides were marble statues of tall men all wearing the same tall peaked crown. At the end of the hall opposite them sitting upon a great white thrown was a dark haired man wearing the crown depicted in the statues; his head was rested on his hand but he looked up when they entered.
"Aragwen!" he cried jumping up and running across the hall towards her and embracing her.
"Ada!"
"You're late! I've been so worried!" said the man kissing Aragwen on the top of the head,"Arwen!"
"Yes?" a woman emerged from a room on the other end of the hall, she had auburn hair, a fair face and pointed ears. "Aragwen!" she cried when she saw her running over to her and embracing her as well.
"Muma!" said Aragwen.
"You've been gone so long! I thought you'd died!!"
"I'm alright, honestly Muma."
"Well you should at least say what's taken you." Said the man looking her in the eyes.
"I ran into a bit of snow....got a bit lost...." Then remembering that Harry and the others were still there said, "Oh yes, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Lord Albus, these are my parents King Elessar (but really you can just call him Aragorn) and Queen Arwen. Ada, Muma this is Harry Potter, Ron Weasly, Hermione Granger, Draco Malfoy, and Lord Albus Dumbledore."
The King bowed and said, "Very good, you've been long awaited. I'll have someone show you to your rooms and you can clean up and then we'll eat."
"And Aragwen your coming with me. Your soaking wet! Didn't you think to put up your hood?!" said Arwen leading her daughter away.
"you can follow Damian here. He'll lead you to your rooms." Said Aragorn.
OMG! This is really the longest chapter I've ever written in any story ever!!! None of the others will be three pages long I think! I hope you like! I'll update soon! Please review!
