Lord Of The Rings Meets Harry Potter Chapter 9

Inside the castle grounds Legolas and Saphira felt smothered from all the unwanted attention they were receiving not just from the students, but from that deplorable and reprehensible Umbridge woman.

Honestly neither of them could've gotten out of there fast enough. Saphira had to restrain herself from slapping the woman for her arrogance, choosing wisely to put on an impassive face.

Finally when they got away all the two desired was a way to escape which was granted.

Here in the Dark Forest there's at least a semblance of home.

The students are forbidden from stepping foot in this place unless it's under supervision from Hogwarts staff, so they don't have to be concerned about that.

Here they spent a very long time exploring these woods. As Elves they could travel quietly and unseen. They managed to locate a lot of the indigenous magical creatures that reside here. Centaurs, Spiders, Unicorns, etc. There are so many creatures that they've never seen before along with magical beings that do come to memory. Legolas nearly shot one of the Spiders on the spot in an instinctive reflex. He hasn't had any good experiences with some of them in the past after that business before the legendary Battle of the Five Armies at Erebor. Saphira had to remind him that these aren't the same Spiders. Sauron has no hold on those here.

To take their minds off that the two of them did some hunting. Something that she knew Legolas always enjoys. Hey, maybe even bring something back as a thank you to their hosts for allowing them to linger at Hogwarts until a solution is found to send them home.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

Authors Note:

What do you think it should be that Legolas and Saphira bring back as an offering?

I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

I've been meaning to get back to this one for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it.

Right now during this epidemic with the coronavirus that's impacting every nation in the entire world we really do need find whatever sources we possibly can in order to lighten our spirits. Especially those who are unfortunately stuck sick or those locked in self isolation in order to prevent both contraction and spread of the illness. For those of us who have the abilities to do this we have a duty to keep up morale and that's exactly what I wholeheartedly desire these new stories and updates concocted during this time do for you.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm very satisfied and happy about it.

I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Morning Star, Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, Rava's Journey, Princess Of The Forest, A Revolutionary Romance, Aunt, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8thLoser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, The True Catwoman Of Gotham, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D

By the way, Morning Star, Rorschach's Legend, Aunt, Mandalorian: The 2ndFoundling, Eira Byrnison, and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, Rava's Journey, Princess Of The Forest, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, and The True Catwoman Of Gotham, are some of the best newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of the Golden Compass and Watchmen which are the new series on HBO then you will love these. Then if you haven't saw them yet then I recommend that you check it out. Since there are still just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.

I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con 2019! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D

For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance. Unfortunately this year it appears like Comic Con might be skipped not just in New York, but also in all it's regular places during the course of scheduled events. I think we all know the reason for it is plain as day.

The coronavirus.

Can't exactly blame with how dreadful things are getting in escalation and the fact that places like the Javits Center in New York have been temporarily converted into makeshift hospitals in order to deal with the overflow of people contracting infections from this rapidly spreading virus that might as well be called a plague at this point. Let's keep fingers crossed that an aim is to have this pass us before then so things can get back on track. If it is then New York Comic Con might be exactly what people need in order to lighten their spirits after all this darkness. Stay safe everyone and long to eventually see you there.
