Hermione- Idril/ Sparkling Brilliance
Severus- Iston/ The Wise One
Harry- Amarth/ Fate
Harry was sweating and panting he glanced at the sky it was getting brighter. Soon, just a little longer and they would be able to turn the trolls into stone just like in the book. It had become clear that they were not going to win this fight and the best they could do was hold out until morning. They were nothing more than an annoyance to these trolls. Harry ducked Bill the Troll's arm and ran off into the Troll Camp. He cursed how did they keep finding him? Hermione's arrows and water were more annoying than his boulders any day.
"Smoke! Cause a smoke cloud!" Harry yelled.
Hermione and Gandalf were on opposite sides of the camp both trying to catch their breaths. Hermione grabbed her staff and threw as much water as she could summon high above the camp where it met and went through Gandalf's fire causing a cloud of heavy smoke to fall over the camp.
Their entire team took this opportunity to hide while Harry and Fáli pulled an injured Gimli from near the fire behind a huge boulder. Harry began using the Healing Skills that Aragorn and the Rangers had been teaching him to tend to Gimli's wound. Fáli was keeping lookout ready to attack any troll that came their way. By the time Severus used his wind to clear the smoke, the sun was up and the trolls turned to stone. Fáli called to the others that Gimli was hurt and to hurry that he thought Harry was low on magic.
They came quickly. Harry was both annoyed and grateful. He was running low on magic.
"I'm not using magic," He assured everyone. Hermione gave him a pointed look. "I'm not! I haven't even closed the wound. I just finished putting some Athelas in it. It looks like one of the weapons was poisoned. " He shook his head. "This is beyond my ability to heal at present."
Aragorn knelt and began his work as did Severus.
"It is good that you are able to admit this, Amarth." Severus said, "You are learning."
"Slowly but surely." Harry chuckled. "but I am as hard-headed as I hear my mother was."
Severus chuckled at that.
"That is true."
Hermione was confused by that interaction. She filed it away to ask later.
Gimli needed to rest and farther healing.
"We need to find a home," Aragorn said, looking around. "Lead us, Idril."
Hermione went to the middle of the camp and looked around biting her lip. Harry did the same.
"It's this way," Harry said, pointing. "I can see a road this way."
"Bloody Seeker," Hermione growled but nodded and followed.
"My Ranger Tracking Skills only make me that much better," Harry laughed. "I can't wait until I can fix my eyesight. One of the scrolls I picked up from the Barrows has a potion in it. I'm going to start brewing it. When my eyesight is fixed I'll have the best eyesight ever. I'll be able to pick up trails miles away."
"Of that, I have no doubt. " Hermione told him fondly.
It took them a good hours march to find the hidden cache of the trolls.
"The screen says that if we clean out everything in here we can claim this as Trollshaw Home. So get to it." Harry ordered his team.
Fáli and Huan were left to stand guard over Gimli. They cleaned everything in the cache out.
"Ha!" Hermione said, finally emerging from the cache last. Her arms were full of swords. "Here you go, brother, Sting."
Harry took the dagger and strapped it on to his waist.
"Iston, here is Orcrist." She handed it to him and he strapped it on around his waist. "Gandalf, here is Glamdring." Gandalf thanked her. "Fáli and Gimli, I found these axes in there. You can have them. I think they might be Elvish but all the same." They both thanked her and took them putting them in their belts. " I got this much smaller Elvish dagger. That should be everything now let's make this place Trollshaw home!"
Harry did as she told him and they were soon entering the Home. Harry instantly went for a bath and knew that he wasn't going to be the only one. After scrubbing his skin almost raw he relaxed in the water and stared at his screen. He began upgrading everything that needed upgrading. That included all the bathrooms in all of the rooms in their home. The home was growing huge with all the doors opening new halls that could be filled with more and more rooms. Harry relaxed in the now much bigger bath and finally got his room where he could mine up jewels and gems. The room came with an attached Blacksmith that had only the basics. Harry didn't care it was great and he was glad to have it. It would probably come in handy.
It took a week for Gimli to recover from the poison. With that, they spent three more weeks in Trollshaw before finally heading out to get to Rivendell. It took them three days to reach Rivendell.
Aragorn could see that Harry was not happy about being here.
Harry blinked at his screen then looked around wildly.
"IDRIL!" He screamed in sheer panic. "IDRIL!"
She wasn't with them.
"Severus, go with Fáli. Gandalf, go with Gimli. Aragorn, Huan, and I will go this way!" Harry ordered.
They left the path to Rivendell to the Elves that had undoubtedly heard him screaming.
Harry ran as fast as he could looking for his best friend and sister in all but blood.
"Why do you not want me to go Rivendell?" Aragorn asked as they ran. "It is clear that you do not."
"You want to do this now?" Harry demanded.
"Yes, now." Aragorn agreed.
"Because of Lady Arwen," Harry explained. "The Hobbit isn't the only book in the Series, Aragorn there are more. The Silmarillion comes before The Hobbit and is like a History of Middle-Earth it's really hard to get through. All those names and places. After the Hobbit there comes a Trilogy called The Lord of the Rings. You feature prominently in it and you end up with Lady Arwen. But I won't let that happen! I want you for myself!"
Aragorn was shocked to hear this. He pushed Harry against a tree and kissed him soundly.
"You have my heart, Harry," he told him. "Now, let's go find your sister."
"No need," Hermione said, they looked to see her holding Huan. "I take one bathroom break and you guys leave without me! Rivendell Home is this way." they began following her towards Rivendell. "You're lucky the Elves found me and brought me to Rivendell."
"You already passed into Rivendell?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I really needed to go to the bathroom. I told them I was traveling with you two, Gandalf, Huan, Severus, and two Dwarves they promised to fetch you!"
When they reached Rivendell it became clear why they hadn't come looking.
"Damn," Hermione said, pulling her bow and fitting it with an arrow. "Where are we in the book timeline that there are Goblins assaulting Rivendell?!"
"Your guess is as good as mine," Harry said, pulling Sting out. "We should pay more attention to our blades and your hairpiece."
"Why?" Aragorn asked.
"They glow blue when Goblins and Orcs are around. " Harry stated.
"Here, Aragorn, you can have my dagger then," Hermione said, "If I have my butterfly then I won't need it. I just wanted it for that effect."
Aragorn laughed but took the dagger and sheath.
The Elves of Rivendell were shocked when a rain of arrows surrounded in Lightning rained down on the Goblins. They got a second shock when two men ran into the battle with glowing daggers with a massive wolf. The arrows were explained by the female they'd rescued earlier who was on the Wolves back. It looked like she'd found two of her companions.
It was some time before they saw another man arrive with a Dwarf wielding a glowing sword and an axe. Shortly after another Dwarf arrived with Mithrandir. The female's company had arrived in full force.
Harry cut through Goblins using every stat point he had to stay alive and dodge his sister's arrows. He was sorry he ever taught her that spell when he'd taught to himself. Suddenly, he was lifted from behind and handed up a ladder to another elf who passed him to a third. He was on the battlements. He blinked stupidly for a second before drawing his staff and sheathing Sting. His rage suddenly came out.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" He bellowed making the elves around him back away. His eyes glew with power as he held his staff high in the air and the ground began shaking.
Hermione looked up from where she knelt her dagger in hand having already taken down four goblins from this stance and willing to take down more. Nearby Huan was down and not moving. She moaned.
"TO THE TREES!" She bellowed running to the nearest one and climbing up. "GET IN THE TREES!"
Her companions listened to her and the elves quickly obeyed when they found it hard to keep their footing. One managed to scoop up a now small Huan before joining her in her tree.
The ground rose up then came crashing down on the remaining Goblins killing all of them in one go.
Harry collapsed on the battlements. He was panting and drenched in sweat.
"Gandalf's going to kill me for that one." He muttered but of course, the elves heard him.
Hermione rushed to Harry's side with Huan. She was followed by the others.
"He's a very overprotective little brother." Hermione sighed shaking her head when she spotted him.
Aragorn lifted Harry into his arms.
"Is Huan okay?"
"No," Hermione said, mournfully. "I was hoping Lord Elrond might try and heal him. We have no experience in healing animals."
"I will do my best." An elf near Harry chuckled. "Huan?" he asked the wolf as he gently took him. "You have a mighty name, young one."
Huan nodded and try to swell up in pride only to whimper.
"and you earned it," Elrond told him as he led the way to his home. "The first Huan was very protective of his charges as well. From what I saw you are as well. I name you Huan Twice Blessed."
Hermione beamed. She had been wondering how the elves would take their naming of Huan but it seemed he had already earned the name in their eyes.
Harry pouted as he ate, drank, and was lectured by Gandalf for using "Big spells" while still in his condition.
