Hermione- Idril/ Sparkling Brilliance

Severus- Iston/ The Wise One

Harry- Amarth/ Fate

Harry was reading one of the scrolls he'd found in Barrow-Downs. He was frowning and translating them from Parselscript to English, to Khuzdul, to Quenya, to Sindarin, Hobbit, and every other language of Middle-Earth and back again over and over again. He didn't even stir when the Gandalf's group came back or when Severus' group left. He ate when forced and drank his water. Hermione was frowning over what he writing. She corrected him constantly but agreed he was improving.

"Wait, a second." She finally said, "One, I have a major headache from trying to work out your translations."

"Then stop reading them. " Harry told her. "I told you to burn them for fire."

"This here." she pointed to one of his translations. "This says here, Nutrient Water #3 it's numbered, or is that your own addition?"

Harry looked back at the scroll in his lap.

"No, it says three on it." He told her. "No way, did we just discover..."

"I think we did." she agreed. "Next question do we have enough ingredients with us to brew this? I ask because I don't think your current one is working anymore."

"It's probably not." He shrugged.

After looking through their stock of ingredients and comparing them. They were in good condition to try and brew the Potion. They both set up cauldrons to do just that. Others in the room watched them. Hermione complained when it became clear that she was messing up and not doing the same as Harry. Harry blamed his translations but read her what the scroll said so that she would stop bugging him. Then they went back to brewing.

Harry, it turned out had the third group. He had his self-updating map in his hands as he left with Faramir, Eowyn, Legolas, and Thorin. He led them to the place where the last ward was cast. They were actually leading a group made up of the three races as Severus had reported that they had cleared another room. He led them inside the room walking through the ward easily. They all quickly followed him. He tucked the map away in the bag he was carrying.

"Hey, a storeroom." He said, looking around. "Awesome, look at this." he was holding several plants. "These can be used for healing right, Legolas?"

"Yes, these are very good for healing... what are you doing?" Legolas wondered.

"I'm putting them in my pouch so we can use them if we need them." Harry shrugged. He drank some of his new Nutrient Water from his waterskin. Then pulled his map out again. "Okay, let's check this branch off here."

Hermione's original path was a hall full of storerooms and they got into fights in every one of them. Needless to say, that the Goblins were not pleased at having been warded into the Storerooms in the first place.

"I am so protesting that we had to clear this hall." Harry said as he leaned against a wall panting. He downed some of his water.

"I'm protesting that they sent such a small group of us." Faramir said as he tied a bandage around Eowyn's arm.

"We were supposed to have Kili with us." Thorin explained. "He's a very good fighter for someone so young. He was pulled from duty. "

Harry wiped his brow.

"Didn't anyone check to see if there were goblins in these rooms?" Legolas questioned. He was the only one not tired but that was fine with him. He kept the watch. "Lady Eowyn, can you continue with your injury? We have two more rooms to clear."

"I can still fight it's my left arm." Eowyn stated as she ignored her pain. She would not be sent home so soon! She would prove herself to her Uncle! To her Brother! To her people! To everyone! "Let's continue."

Amazingly they'd cleared the two remaining rooms before their shift was over.

"We need help!" Thorin bellowed as he ran into the Medical Room.

"Amarth?" Hermione cried she was getting her group ready to go.

"I'm fine." Amarth said, shaking his head coming into the room. "You're almost there, just a little further."

Legolas and Faramir came in supporting Eowyn between them. Eomer was on his feet and at her side taking her in his arms in seconds and rushing her to an empty pallet.

"Those rooms your warded off were filled with Goblins." Harry reported. "We cleared all of them but Eowyn got hurt. She said she was fine to continue. She probably would have been fine but in the last room one of the store shelves... well, her leg..."

Eowyn's leg was bleeding.

She was now being tended Harry collapsed on his pallet and snuggled against Aragorn. He was forced to eat and drink some more water.

"Up jumped Bilbo, and putting on his dressing-gown went into the dining-room. There he saw nobody, but all the signs of a large and hurried breakfast. There was a fearful mess in the room, and piles of unwashed crocks in the kitchen. Nearly every pot and pan he possessed seemed to have been used. The washing-up was so dismally real that Bilbo was forced to believe the party of the night before had not been part of his bad dreams, as he had rather hoped. Indeed he was really relieved after all to think that they had all gone without him, and without bothering to wake him up ("but with never a thank-you" he thought); and yet in a way he could not help feeling just a trifle disappointed. The feeling surprised him." Aragorn quoted when Harry had finished eating. He had heard Hermione read this book to his Harry so many times that he knew it by heart. He watched Harry drop three drops of a potion in each eye.

""Don't be a fool, Bilbo Baggins!" he said to himself, "thinking of dragons and all that outlandish nonsense at your age!" So be put on an apron, lit fires, boiled water, and washed up. Then he had a nice little breakfast in the kitchen before turning out the dining-room. By that time the sun was shining; and the front door was open, letting in a warm spring breeze. Bilbo began to whistle loudly and to forget about the night before. In fact he was just sitting down to a nice little second breakfast in the dining-room by the open window, when in walked Gandalf. "My dear fellow," said he, "whenever are you going to come? What about an early start?-and here you are having breakfast, or whatever you call it, at half past ten! They left you the message, because they could not wait." "

Aragorn told the whole chapter and by the time he was finished Harry was fast asleep again.

Hermione took her group and left her group of Dwarves had wanted to hear more of the story about themselves. She frowned at the map she'd taken from Harry. According to it they were going to Severus' stopping point. She nodded and headed past her stopping point dropping off what she deemed to be "the civilians" as they passed. It was good that they had storerooms now.

Harry woke with a start.

"Idril is in trouble!" he cried. "Idril needs help!"

"She has sent no word." Arwen said trying to calm him.

Just as she said that an Otter burst through the wall and ran around Harry.

"IDRIL!" Harry cried he was up and running before anyone could stop him.

Severus and Halbarad followed him. Aragorn not far behind.

By the time they found Hermione's group Hermione was doing her best to hold Boromir from falling down a shaft. She wasn't alone of course Bofur was helping her while Fáli, Haldir, Dori, Ori, and Nori protected them.

Harry began firing arrows as Severus, Halbarad, and Aragorn joined the fray. Harry finally got over to Hermione and helped her and Bofur pull Boromir back up to safety. Then the four of them joined the fray again.

When the fighting was done Hermione was left blushing as Harry looked her over for wounds. She tolerated it and hugged him when he was done.

"Thank you for saving me." Boromir finally said once they had recovered. "and thank you for catching me when I was forced off the path."

"It's no problem." Hermione told him. "I'm just glad I was able to send off my Patronus."

"I knew you were in trouble before that." Harry told her. "I had a dream. You were in a big cavern and there were platforms that circled down for a hundred miles filled with Goblins and there were drums. Loud drums and they kept getting louder and louder and you were screaming..."

"Are you sure that wasn't in Moria?" Hermione asked.

"This sure looks like a platform that circles down deeply." Bofur said, "I think the lad might have been right."

"But there were no drums..." Boromir frowned. "But in Gondor, we do not discard dreams easily. Amarth's dream means something and he was right we did need help."

Harry frowned and cast his fairy light spell. He sent it around the room and they cursed.

"WARDS!" Hermione cried, "Whoever had magic left cast the wards!"

Harry, Severus and Hermione ended up combining their wards like they had been doing on their homes to keep the swarm of Goblins coming up from advancing.

"Arrows ready!" Harry called, "Pick them off!"

Haldir nodded and they began picking off the goblins trying to get through their barrier. They went down and cast more wards.

"Crap, I'm out of arrows!" Hermione cried.

"Me too." Harry said.

"Fall back!" Aragorn ordered. "Our weapon supplies should have arrived while we were down here."

They managed to get back to the medical room in one piece where they were all checked over and forced to eat. Harry was rather annoyed by the second part.

"We should move to Aragorn's stopping point." Hermione said, frowning at their map hours later she wasn't letting the next team go. "If you're right then Severus' stopping point leads down a hundred miles and we saw for ourselves that it's infested."

"I agree." Harry nodded, frowning.

Severus was frowning but cast his vote in their favor as did Aragorn and Gandalf. Huan cast his vote as well but refused to go with any group that didn't have his Harry in it. The others agreed with him so they left him behind.

Harry began practicing his drawings. He wanted to show the Dwarves who hadn't seen the room that they'd just been in the room to see if they knew any Dwarf who would have made this tunnel.
