Hermione- Idril/ Sparkling Brilliance
Severus- Iston/ The Wise One
Harry- Amarth/ Fate
It was another five days and they'd finally made it down to the Withywindle. It felt so weird down here but they continued what they'd been doing. Talking to the trees in Elvish and watering them.
Harry collapsed against a tree. He'd reached his limit today.
"HARRY, NO!" Hermione screamed, "I THINK THAT'S ... " sure enough the tree moved to catch him. "OLD MAN WILLOW!"
Aragorn went to light a fire.
"NO FIRE!" Hermione yelled.
Aragorn stopped.
They all began talking to Old Man Willow in Elvish begging it to let Harry go and trying to calm it. Hermione even watered it.
"Cin should รบ- n- waking! Medi- coe! Sab- tovon! Sog- plural sogenne- nen! Glenn- na sleep!" Hermione finally yelled desperately.
Agargorn frowned at her. Did she have Earth Magic she was hiding?
It didn't work anyways.
"Does it only work when Bombadil says it?" Hermione asked, she began pleading with Old Man Williow in Elvish.
Aragorn and Severus continued to try as well.
Hermione danced in her spot nervously then something popped into her head and she sang in a loud voice.
"Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!" Hermione sang.
She sang it over and over again and sure enough a man came skipping into the clearing singing.
"Please, " she cried, " Old Man Williow had my brother!"
Tom Bombadil laughed and got Harry free. Harry was barely breathing. Aragorn put Harry on his back to carry him.
When Harry came to he was in the House of Bombadil.
"How?" was all he could say.
"I remembered the words," Hermione whispered sweat-dropping. "From the Barrow-downs."
"Good girl," he praised.
She helped him sit up and drink some of his water.
"Tom is knowing a good house for you." Tom came bounding in. "You will be Tom's neighbors. Old Man Willow will come to like you in time."
"You know where Old Forest Home is?" Hermione squealed.
"Iston, if you wouldn't mind," Harry said, weakly.
Severus smacked Hermione on the back of the head causing Aragorn to chuckle and feed Harry who blushed and was distracted.
"Oh, Tom is knowing the perfect spot." Tom assured her. "You are taking Master Amarth home to heal him. Come, come follow Tom."
With that he was all singing and leading them. Aragorn carried Harry on his back again. It wasn't a long walk. Just a little under a mile away there was a huge mound close to the Withywindle.
Harry pressed yes and again put it in Hermione's section of house. Let her deal with it.
Tom followed them inside with Goldberry.
Hermione pressed the Rune.
"Hello? Is anyone here? Amarth's sick again! We're in my Sitting Room and have guests. I'm coming to the kitchen."
"Halbarad is out, looking after the bridge." a voice answered. It was Gandalf. "I will meet you in the kitchen with Baragund and Barthan."
Hermione took her leave.
Tom and Goldberry examined the rune then began talking with everyone. It wasn't long before Gandalf and two Rangers appeared. Halbarad came in behind them wiping his hand on a cloth.
"That damn bridge," Halbarad cursed. "You say that Amarth is back?"
"He's sick!" Hermione snapped, "You will not have him check the bridge until he's better. I'll go out and check it! He's taught me a little... WHERE IS HUAN?!"
Everyone looked around sure enough there was no wolf.
Hermione grabbed Halbarad and tore back out into the Old Forest before Harry recovered enough to attack her.
It took Harry four days to recover enough to be able to go visit his bridge. Just in time to greet some other friends he'd made. The seemed to like Halbarad but did miss him. Harry explained that he was sickly and had been sick a lot. He wasn't exactly lying. He did some repairs wondering where Hermione and Halbarad were. As if on cue they arrived.
"Sorry, we're late," she said, breathless. "Your wolf decided to go running around the Forest on his own and we just caught him."
"Oh, Huan's mine now is he?" Harry asked, "I thought he was ours."
"He's only mine when he behaves!" Hermione snapped, "You have no idea what we had to go through to catch him!"
Harry smirked a bit and gave them another lesson in bridge rapairs.
When Harry got back inside he snuggled up with Aragorn and looked over what he could buy. He went around upgrading everything he could. Their bookcase had finally upgraded. They now had a three shelf bookcase.
"Idril, go put more books in our library." Harry ordered.
"You have a library?" Barthan asked.
"It isn't much." Hermione sighed, "Now don't go spending all our money on windows again!"
"No new rooms." Harry muttered, shrugging. "Hmm... let's see. Oh, we'll do this." He nodded, "and...lets see..."
When Hermione and Barthan reached the library the Sitting Room rune lit up.
"Oh, Amarth thank you for the new bookshelf!" She cried.
"We'll need some things for the training room." Harry muttered choosing what he wanted.
"There's a training room?" Baragund asked. "Where is that?"
Severus began giving directions.
"Go down this hall to the cross roads, turn towards the West Wing, take the first left, go down until you see the black door, cross the hall, turn right, take three lefts..." Severus rattled off.
"Uh, maybe just show me?" Baragund pleaded. "Exactly, how big is this place?"
Severus smirked and lead the way out of the room.
Harry closed the screen and snuggled into Aragorn.
"Lets go to our room," he mumbled.
Aragorn smirked smugly and agreed they were soon relaxing in their hammock kissing while it rocked.
After a bit Aragorn began kissing down Harry's jaw to his ear that he began nibbling and sucking on. He moved to kiss, lick, suck and gently attack Harry's neck. Harry gasped and moaned.
Suddenly, his door opened. Whoever it was fled having almost been struck by a fireball. Aragorn went to find out who it was. He then alerted Hermione and Severus that someone he didn't know was here and in Harry's sitting room. He then went back to Harry and continued his attack on Harry's neck.
"Hello?" Hermione called, entering Harry's sitting room. "Hello, is someone here?"
"Here!" A voice cried, sniffling.
Hermione looked down to see a child rubbing her eyes. A Hobbit. The little girl that had brought them to Bagshot Row.
"How'd you get to this side of the House?" Hermione frowned taking her hand. "This is the East side of the House, Honey, you should have stayed in the North side of the House. I'm sorry my brother scared you but he doesn't like people in his room and he's been rather sick lately. How'd you get in?"
"The door wasn't locked." She said, frowning up at Hermione as she rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, yes, of course it wasn't. Did you need something?"
"I wanted to play with the puppy." She informed. "We were going to play at the Mill today."
"Huan isn't a dog, dear, he's a wolf." Hermione said, once they got back to Bagshot door Hermione showed her the rune and encouraged her to call for Huan.
"Huan, it's time to go to the mill!" The little girl called into the door. "Haun, come on, the others are waiting."
It was only a minute later when Huan appeared running to the girl and licking her. He pawed at his pack and Hermione put it on him a little confused.
"Alright, Huan, I can't go out with you today, so you go play with your friends but you be back by dinner do you hear me?" Hermione stated, "One minute late."
Huan nodded tail wagging.
"Remember if you ever find yourself in here or get lost in here again press the rune..." Hermione told the girl.
"Hello, Idril, it's Barthan. I seem to have gotten lost. There's fourteen doors in this hall, I count seven windows, there's a black door..."
"Don't go near the black door!" Hermione yelled, back. "Iston, Barthan is near the Training Room can you fetch him please?"
"Where are you?" Severus' voice asked.
"Near a black door."
"DON'T GO NEAR THE BLACK DOOR!" Severus bellowed. "I'll be right there."
The Hobbit girl's eyes were wide. How big was this place? and why was it so easy to get lost? She could have sworn that, that sitting room wasn't there when she'd come in. Or that rune or whatever it was for that matter.
"I'm sorry about that," Hermione said, kindly. "Here you go, honey, a sweet roll for the road." she handed the child a sweet from the table in the Sitting Room. "Made by my borther Amarth. So you know it's going to be good. Have fun today."
"Yes, Miss. Idril." The girl said, diligently, "Come on, Huan!"
Huan barked and the two ran off.
Hermione waved after them and then closed the door. She went to make sure that Barthan hadn't gone near Harry's black door. That was where Harry did his magic training. The whole room was charred black on the inside. It was also where Harry used a device Gandalf had given him to store some of his magic so that it made it easier for Harry to control what he had. The magic was known to lash out and it was dangerous. They really needed to get wards on that damn door! She'd talk to Harry about it.
