A/N: This takes place right after Half-Blood Prince, and will not tell too much about the HBP, but a ton about the lord of the rings books. The star wars crossover will be out before long, but not for quite a while yet, I'm pretty sure I can only do four or five stories at a time, and once school starts again it will be a bit harder, but hopefully you'll forgive and keep reading. Core of Evil, King of Evil, and To Annoy, chapters will be up within the next one or two days. Hope you enjoy.

Summary: After a horrible year, Harry and six others are thrown into the realm of Middle Earth, but with all of them separated, they will need to find each other and help the occupants, as well as work with enemies if they ever wish to return home. But a war is festering in the land and Harry and co. have entered at the start of it. Harry Potter/LOTR crossover

Harry Potter and The Battle for Middle Earth

Prologue:

"Fool. Even with the sixth destroyed, I am invincible, my other self has already become immortal, and I am well on my way to heading there." Voldemort laughed triumphantly in his opponents face.

"You are mortal, Tom." Harry Potter, the-boy-who-lived voiced.

"Don't call me that." Voldemort or Tom hissed.

"What's a matter? Are you afraid? I can kill you now, and I will, just like I did to your followers, I offered them mercy, and I'm offering it to you as well." Shock registered on Voldemort's face for a moment, but then he sneered triumphantly.

"No, Potter. It is you who shall die here tonight."

"We'll see Tom." He ignored Voldemort's hiss and raised his wand blocking the curse that Voldemort had cast so easily Voldemort looked fearful. But only for a second, before he began lashing out with as many curses, hexes, and jinx he could, the killing curse added often. Harry dodged or blocked all of them, he got hit once by a cutting curse, fortunately it wasn't deep and was on his arm opposite the one of his wand. Harry summoned the sword of Godric Gryffindor to him and swung it once as if testing it. He then took a confident step foreword and began swinging with intense concentration and speed that Voldemort almost faltered. The Dark Lord began shooting off spells as quick as he could and as a last effort transformed his wand into a sword as well. It was dark black with red ruby's and several pale green gems within the hilt, he smirked and brought it up to face his nemesis.

"I am not the only one who has been taught in the art of muggle sword fighting, prepare for your death, one way or another." The with astonishing speed he began to go on the offense with Harry parrying as much as he could, while Voldemort effortlessly tried to slice his head off.

"A shame, Dumbledore couldn't be here to see me defeat his Golden Boy." Voldemort hissed and Harry looked at him in rage.

"He is here, as long as there are those who still believe in him he'll be here." Harry said and watched to his amazement as Fawkes appeared after his long absence and flew at Voldemort dropping the Sorting Hat into his lap once again. A reminiscent of second year. He put his had in the hat and was surprised to see another Sword dragged out from it. It was long and silver, with a royal hilt and a very sharp blade, Harry almost dropped it in surprise and was deeply thankful he had not put it on, as he would probably have died. Voldemort looked at the sword and hissed in rage, fury, and disbelief.

"That sword! I've seen it before. In the research I was doing, but how can it be here?" Voldemort said angrily to more himself than Harry.

"What are you on about Tom?"

"None of your business. I still live, and shall continue forever, go ahead smite me. I'll just be back more powerful than ever before. I've discovered legends of a certain trinket, one of which will make me both immortal, all powerful, and invincible." Harry hesitated one moment and that was all Voldemort needed.

"Fool." Then suddenly he began disappearing.

"What the-?" Was all Harry could say from the shock he received. Voldemort whispered something to him.

"Not to worry, I'll return, and when I do, it will be the end of you." Voldemort laughed crazily and then stuck his own sword through his chest. With one final laugh Voldemort shook and then disappeared. Leaving Harry to wonder why and what just happened? He stood up and went over to the surviving members of the D.A.

"It has begun." A elderly voice spoke softly.

"It cannot be. How?" A rich, powerful, feminine voice asked.

"Another being must be interfering." An older more grubbier voice with a slight accent said.

"It's the same being, only under a different name." Another voice said elderly, but not as elderly as the first, holding much wisdom, and power.

"No it is not. It is as if someone is interfering, four now search for it." The first voice said mysteriously.

"Four? Surely not he?" the female asked with fear indebted in her voice.

"It is. I told you he had a trick up his sleeve. I told you it would turn out bad in the end." The fourth voice spoke again.

"Nonsense. Even if he did, it won't change a thing." The accented voice said.

"It will. And it has. You've felt it have you not?"

"Yes, but I thought it was His doing, how can you be sure."

"I can be sure enough for all of us, it seems as if the Dark Lord already sent death there, the dark mark has been seen in the lands, already it has changed the future, and not for good, I might add." The first voice said bitterly.

"But, what can we do, we cannot interfere, it is a law." The female voice said.

"But Voldemort interfered, it will shape the past and the future, unlike any we know, and even worse if he gets the Ring." The fourth voice said.

"We cannot interfere." The third voice said rather gruffly.

"WE can't, but others can." The first voice said finding the loophole.

"But that will affect the past and future even more." The third voice whined.

"Does it matter? Everything is at stake, I say we do it and hope it follows the same path. Maybe nothing will change." The female voice said.

"Are you sure? This could effect the two times more deeply than we know." A fifth melodious voice said. "I have seen the future of both worlds, and both shall fall into darkness if nothing is done, but we could make it worse, is everyone prepared to face the consequences of our or their actions?"

The other four hesitated for a moment before in clear passive voices said as one, "We are."

"We could cause a major paradox, or even worse, some of us might not exist, we of the New Valar can only hope, now my husband has a few final words he would like to say." The fifth voice, female said.

"Very well, if you all accept this, collect the seven, choose well, and Godspeed." A sixth voice said cheerfully, "Hopefully it won't eradicate our own existence, hopefully everything will turn out in the end. The one of the Dark, he can aid the fight, a chance to prove himself, and the one of Light will hopefully be up to the task of his new mission. Now let's prepare for our guests. I bid you adieu, and happy hunting."

A/N: How was it? This is going to be a different take on the harry potter, lord of the rings crossovers, as you can see, a bunch is already different. Does anyone know who the six of the Valar are? You should know at least five of them, and the sixth is also someone famous, they are all wizards or witches as well. A seventh there is also, but you probably won't meet them until much later in the story. Next chapter we'll see who the seven going to Middle Earth are, as well as the names of at least four of the Valar members. All the members of the Valar have died, that should be a helpful hint. Let me know who you want to go to Middle Earth, I already know who I'm planning, but there may be an eighth as well. Hope you enjoyed, next chapter will be longer, this is only the Prologue after all. Remember please Read and Review.
