Hermione- Idril/ Sparkling Brilliance

Severus- Iston/ The Wise One

Harry- Amarth/ Fate

Would you like to make a Woodhall Home?

Harry blinked his tired eyes at the screen in front of him. This had Hermione written all over it. He sat up in his bower to find that Aragorn had slept with him and roused by his moving.

"Where is Idril?" Harry asked the Elves all looked at him. Harry was shocked to see that they were still there. "I'm begging you to tell me you didn't let her go out alone?"

"She took Huan and two of my kinsmen with her." Gildor laughed.

Severus cursed her getting up as he'd been roused by Harry's cry.

"What's wrong?" Aragorn asked.

"Wrong?" Harry blinked. "Nothing, she's just found another hill home."

"Hill Home?" Gildor asked.

"I'll gladly show you and your kin," Harry said, instantly. "But we have to find her first."

It took them twenty minutes to find her only to find that she was below them at the bottom of the hill they'd camped on. Hermione was grinning.

"Fine." Harry sighed.

He pressed yes.

"Great, I'll give Hermione Woodhall Home's door." He muttered.

There Home was a maze and they liked it that way. So it was no trial to put doors here and there. They all entered taking off their cloaks and shoes. Hermione touched the rune just outside the sitting room.

"We're back and are in my sitting room." she relayed.

"I'm going to the kitchen," Harry said.

"No, you're not, " Severus snapped, "Sit down. I'll go fetch food."

Harry sighed and pulled his Parseltongue book out to read. He was soon relaxing against Aragorn again.

When Severus returned he wasn't alone. He had Halbarad and two other Rangers with him all were carrying food and drink. Harry ate and drank but they noticed he was pale and shaking. He spent some time reading and found out that there was another Nutrient Water recipe in here that was a step up from the one he was using. He brought up his skill screen to see that he had indeed maxed out the one he was using. He informed Severus of this in a small voice. Severus sighed and asked him to translate it as he couldn't read it.

So this is what Harry did.

The elves spent four days with them at there home and even taught Hermione some recipes. She'd begged for the Lambas bread recipe but they'd apologized saying that they were not of Lothlórien and did not know it. Hermione had pouted for awhile while Halbarad laughed and found it amusing.

Harry had brewed the new water that he could carry in his water pouch and just add a mint leaf to. It was easy to brew and Harry brewed it in bulk pushing himself to master brewing it in just four days as well as translating it for Severus. He'd also healed more of his scars.

Harry had loved that Aragorn had shaved his beard and they spent a lot of time at night making out. Harry loved every second of it.

The bridge did eventually need repairs on the third day and he forced Hermione to come and learn what to do. She asked million-and-one questions of course but he put up with it.

On the fifth day, they set out again deciding to go the same path as Frodo would normally take. So they began through The Marish.

Hermione regretted her decision instantly but stuck with it.

After four hours Harry drank deeply from his water pouch. He put in his inventory and got a full one out. He could drink this water every two hours. It helped and was helping with the headaches he'd been having. They kept going not wanting to camp here. Harry wanted to set Hermione on fire when they lost Huan. They found him killing a rabbit and getting himself food.

"See, Harry, he just went Hunting," Hermione whined. "He was hungry."

Harry still glared at her but gathered the loot except for the rabbit meat that he allowed Huan to eat. With Huan found they began again. They walked throughout the night and around midday found themselves leaving The Marish and heading up to Maggots farm. They talked happily with the Hobbit and were rewarded with Mushrooms before they set out for the Ferry. It wasn't long before they reached it. The person manning it who turned out to be Merriardoc "Merry" Brandybuck which had Hermione getting her ribs bruises from elbows that were dug into her sides when she'd almost squealed, wouldn't let them ride.

"We'll pay you," Harry said, randomly. He showed the young Hobbit silver coins. "Take us across one by one."

To this Merry agreed and Harry found himself sitting on his knees on the raft as Merry began ferrying him across the water. When Harry was on the other side Merry went back for the next one. Harry drank another skin of water and began reading it had been a slow ride and he doubted that the others were going to get here faster. He was the lightest of the group except for Huan.

Harry was so caught up in his book that he didn't notice when Severus and Aragorn arrived, but he knew exactly when Hermione arrived. She was yelling that Merry had left Huan on the other side.

"I'm going back for him, " Merry defended himself. "I can't risk you overturning the boat. I didn't want to risk it"

With that Merry was gone again wanting to get out of range of Hermione's staff. Little did he know she could cast to the other side if she pushed herself and her magic.

Harry got to his feet to stop her. He tucked his book back into his Inventory as he did so.

Huan bound off the boat and up to Harry in seconds. Harry picked him up and put him on his shoulders. Harry paid Merry and asked to be let into the Old Forest. Hobbits all over were listening now as Merry lead them through the town. He took them to Brandy Hall and a meeting with the Master of the Hall.

"What do you want to go in there for?" The Master of the Hall asked.

"We're studying the Forests of Middle-Earth." Harry lied. "We have homes around here and heard about the Old Forest. We wanted to conduct some research. I hear that it's alive and I would like to see it for myself. With your leave, we would like to be let into the Old Forest."

The Master of the Hall forced them to spend the night and dine with him. Then they were shown to rooms. Hermione managed to talk the Master into letting Aragorn and Harry share a room. He agreed to this easily enough while giving Hermione and Severus their own rooms. He did ask if they wanted to bed together but Severus almost putting an arrow in his heart made him retract his statement. Huan was put out in the Garden and told not to kill all the rabbits. Huan promised and asked if he could have a tomato. This was of course translated by Harry who found it funny.

The Master was shocked but ordered that Huan be taken to the largest tomato they had.

"I can't believe they let us in," Hermione said, as they entered the forest the next morning.

"I believe that they let Severus live." Harry drawled.

Severus' cheeks tinted a bit. Huan was trying to get back to the garden. He was telling them all about how much food was in it compared to there's at bridge home. Severus was annoyed by this his garden hadn't been doing well even though they'd been infusing it with their magic and watering like crazy. Apparently, it was being watered by whoever was staying at the home while they were gone.

They began exploring the forest at their leisure. Aragorn informed them that he had never been into this wood in all of his years and was looking forward to exploring every inch of the place.

They spent five days just wandering around and exploring.

"I don't know what they were talking about, "Hermione thought out loud. "I'm finding this rather enjoyable."

Harry was sitting against a tree, drawing in a book. He was trying to get every detail of the forest down.

Aragorn was relaxing on the ground next to him while Severus had gone to a stream to fetch some water. They could still see him.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you," Hermione spoke to a tree in Elvish. "Are you feeling well today? Would you like some water?"

There, was a creek and a groan. Hermione smiled brilliantly and used her magic to water the tree. It groaned happily at her.

"Making friends?" Harry asked, looking up from his drawing.

"I hope so." Hermione beamed.

They had all been talking to the trees in Elvish. Most seemed to respond to them. One, a Yew tree had liked that Harry had watered it so much that it had rocked him to sleep in its roots. Harry had slept great that night. That had been two days ago.

Harry smiled at her and returned to his drawings. His left hand traveled down and began playing in Aragorn's hair as he kept drawing. He thought he heard the man chuckle but wasn't sure.

Severus returned with three skins of water.

"Where is this Old Man Williow you want to meet?" Aragorn asked.

"We don't know," Hermione said, shrugging. "I had thought that we would get down there by now but our new friends seem to want to protect us so have kept us on a different path. "

The trees seemed to agree with her.

"But we want to meet him." She argued with her new friends in Elvish. "We are going to try and calm him. Plus there is someone down there we really want to meet. Oh, please let us go down there."

The trees began talking to each other in creeks and groans and Hermione knew that she should just sit down and allow it, besides, her feet were killing her from all the walking they'd been doing. She had also been hunting for Old Forest Home but hadn't found it yet. She sat down and stretched her feet out in front of her. She glanced over to Harry and smiled. This new Nutrient Water that he was on was agreeing with him. He wasn't as pale and didn't shake as much. He'd also been able to make longer treks with fewer rests. She was also happy to see that he and Aragorn were getting along well. Her eyes turned to Severus now if she could only find someone that Severus was interested in. He deserved to be happy as well. She sighed out loud and relaxed against the tree that Harry was leaning against.
