Hermione- Idril/ Sparkling Brilliance

Severus- Iston/ The Wise One

Harry- Amarth/ Fate


Harry cast a Fairy Light Spell and then slammed his staff into the ground. Goblins screamed in agony. Harry slashed at the ones surrounding him with Sting while hitting and forcing them back with his staff. Fili was on the ground at his feet bleeding from a head wound. Fili shook his head and grabbed his axe. He began fighting alongside Harry. Fáli and Kili were close by. Halbarad and Legolas were standing out of reach firing arrows to cover the groups of their comrades.

"I should have known we'd find the first Goblin infested room!" Harry cried, "Expecto Patronum!" His stag burst out of his staff. "Find Idril, Iston, Aragorn, and Gandalf and lead them here!"

The Stag ran off.

A fully grown Huan took out an oncoming wave of Goblins.


"What's that?" Nori asked pointing at the silver stag coming toward them.

"Prongs!" Hermione cried, "Amarth's group must have found the first room! Hurry to the others we're on our way!"

The Stag lowered it's head and ran off again.

Hermione put up her strongest wards to mark their spot.

"How do you know that's from Amarth?" Boromir asked as they ran back the way they'd come.

"It's a protection of sorts. The shape of the protection depends on the person casting it." Hermione lectured. "Mine's an Otter when I can cast it. It's like the only spell I have an issue with. Anyway, Amarth's is always a Stag named Prongs after his father's nickname. Iston's is a Doe. I'm not sure about Gandalfs. Only very powerful Magical Practitioners can summon one."


Severus cursed as they watched the silver Stag come towards them.

"That feels of Amarth's magic." Arwen said.

"That's because it is," Severus said, and held his hand out. The Stag allowed him to pet it. "Go to the next person. I will inform him that we are on our way."

The Stag nodded and ran off.

Severus cast his own Patronus and a Doe appeared.

"Find Amarth's group and tell them "Hang in there my group will be by your side shortly." "

The Doe nodded and ran off.

Severus cast his most powerful wards and they were off.

"Does Amarth not know how to make the animal talk?" Thorin asked.

"It's extremely difficult. He should not even be able to cast this spell at his age." Severus informed. "Only the most powerful of us can do it. It takes even more power to make it talk. If you see an Otter it is Idril's."

"Do not take this the wrong way but isn't she stronger than the young Lord Magically?" Faramir asked.

"No, the wee one is sick," Balin said. "Idril is always saying that her brother is the best magically."

"He's forbidden from using the big spells because his body has not recovered from whatever is wrong with it yet." Bofur explained.

"We must hurry." Arwen said, "Idril's group is just ahead but I feel Amarth's magic building."


"Aragorn, magic is coming," Haldir informed. "That way."

Everyone turned and saw the silver Stag. It ran up to Aragorn.

"I understand, Prongs, we will rejoin Amarth's group as soon as I place the wards." Aragorn said, "Go tell whoever else you need to inform."

The Stag ran off.

"You can cast wards?" Dwalin asked.

"No, I have Ward Stones that Amarth, Idril, Gandalf, and Iston gave me."

He pulled out two glowing stones.

"Gloin, push this one into the wall. Don't worry it will go in." Aragorn informed.

Gloin did as told and he Aragorn pushed the glowing stones into the walls. They all felt the wards form.

"Now, quickly we must hurry!" Bombur said, "I've grown fond of that wee lad."

Eomer nodded.

"Be safe until we arrive." He prayed.


Gandalf stopped his group and cast his most powerful wards.

Seconds later the silver stag he'd been introduced to came speeding towards them.

"We are on our way, tell them to hold on." Gandalf told it.

The stag ran off.

"Amarth's group have found the Goblins we are to come and aide them."

"Then let's go!" Gimli laughed in anticipation.

Oin, Ori, Dori, and Nori roared and chased after him and Gandalf.


The four groups had met up on the run to Harry's side. They burst into the room to see Harry's group surround in a barrier of Harry's magic. Harry was sweating.

"DROWN THEM!" Harry bellowed. "IDRIL!"

Hermione ran into the room emptying her waterskin. She made the amount grow and fill the room. She held her staff high and made it safe for all of her allies as her water filled the room. She noted the Dwarves were protecting her while she worked her spell. She began sweating. She watched as Severus joined her Air joined her Water and began turning it to ice. They'd worked on this before but weren't that good at it.

Everything that wasn't them was frozen. Harry's barrier failed.

"Kili!" Harry cried, falling to his knees.

"I'm fine." Kili said, from his brother's arms.

"I'll be the judge of that." Arwen stated.

"ugh..." Hermione gasped as she collapsed.

Halbarad caught her. Severus stumbled and leaned against a frozen tomb of Goblins.

Harry glanced up.

"Prongs reached you, good." He panted. "Sorry, Gandalf you'll have to melt them out so we can claim the room. "

Gandalf chuckled.


The Dwarves, Rangers, and Elves arrived to claim the room brought Men with them, and all we shocked to see Gandalf melting ice while the Goblins, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir, and Boromir defeated any that came out of the ice.

"Over here." Legolas said, greeting them, "One Dwarf has a deep head wound. Idril, Iston, and Amarth wore themselves out. Amarth is in need of emergency medical attention he's seizing."

Elves responded to his words and rushed towards the group the was clearly the injured or guarding the injured.

Harry felt something in his mouth a plant. He heard someone talking to him in Elvish. He did as told and let the plant melt under his tongue. His body stopped jerking around.

"We were told that he was not allowed to use big spells." An elf said.

"You try not using big spells when your sister is flooding the room." Harry moaned pushing himself up.

"YOU TOLD ME TOO!"

"SILENCE!" Severus bellowed drinking a tea that filled him with energy. "Please give this to both of them. They'll need it."

Harry and Hermione both felt better as soon as they drank the tea.

"The head wound is not as bad as it appeared but he's lost a lot of blood he needs rest they all do." Someone reported to Legolas.

"How did this happen?" A woman was scolding Kili and Fili.

"They heard us coming and lured us into here," Kili told her. " Once we were in here we were surrounded and outnumbered. I was hurt pushing Amarth out of the way of a sword that would have cut him in two."

The woman was not pleased and fussed over the two.

"Sister, stop let them breathe," Thorin said, shaking his head. "They may be young but they did well in battle."


The room they were in was made into a hospital.

Huan whined and pawed at Hermione's bag until Aragorn finally gave in. He picked Huan up and put him in Harry's arms.

"In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit," Aragorn told Harry as he sat next to the teen's pallet on the floor. "Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

He continued reciting the whole first chapter of the book. He noted that while people were doing things around the room to make it habitable for their living needs they were all listening to the story.

"What happened next?" Gimli asked. "Don't stop."

"Ah, but Amarth is asleep." Aragorn chuckled.

"So is Idril," Halbarad laughed softly. "Very well done."

"I've learned a few things about taking care of these two in the months we've known each other." Aragorn said, lowering his head.

Severus just shook his head he was sat against the wall but was mostly asleep as well. He tiredly looked at Arwen when she brushed a hand over his forehead. He felt her magic brush over him she was scanning him. He realized. He told her in a soft voice that he never would have used before coming to Middle-Earth. She just smiled at him indulgently. He normally would have hated that but he was so tired that he didn't care at the moment.


The next morning Harry was forced to eat and drink his water.

Hermione and Severus had recovered but Harry was still pale.

He pinned up his magical map. He explained that it would track each group and mark their progress using their orbs. He once again laid out the plan only on a smaller level.

Hermione posted her schedule.

Medical Room has been established.

"Okay, our first group will be Gandalf, Eomer, Balin, Legolas, Gimli, Huan, and Fili." Harry said, "They will go from Hermione's ward here. As it's the closest to the Medical Room. You'll take this path here if you come across other paths ward them off. If you encounter enemies crush them! If you need help Gandalf is to send his Patronus if you're separated activate your orbs by touching them and say 'Aiya!'. We'll instantly know where you are. If you need medicine or anything send Huan back. You will go for seven hours then cast a ward and return."

He got nods in return.

"Good I will see you in seven hours."

"Then Aragorn will tell us what happens next." Gimli said.

Aragorn laughed but agreed. He could tell that Harry was pleased that he was going to get the next chapter.

Harry spent his day mapping what they'd already seen. Severus taught him and Hermione some Legitimacy so that Harry could see their memories of what they had seen of the mountain so far. He'd been teaching them Occlumency for the last month. Harry had problems with it but Hermione seemed to pick it up easily enough. Severus was amused when it was just the opposite learning Legitimacy. Harry picked it up easy and Hermione struggled with it.
