Author's Note: Thanks for the reviews guys and again I apologize for the delay. I've working with a lot of fan fiction stories and neglected this one. So again sorry for the delay on this chapter. Anyway, as you might have guessed, the HP character who is going to make his/her first appearance in this chapter is indeed Sirius Black. One reviewer asked me these two questions:

Is Sirius going to join the Fellowship?

Am I going to pair Sirius up with Paige?

Well, to answer the first question. Sirius will NOT join the Fellowship but like Willow, he will play a huge role in the War, which will be explained later in the story.

As for the second question, there's a possibility of a Sirius/Paige pairing but for now I'm going to play it by ear and see how it goes.

Anyway, in case you are wondering when the other characters from Harry Potter are going to make appearances, here is the lowdown (SPOILER WARNING! If you don't want to know then skip this and go on with the story.)

-- Snape will make his first appearance in the next chapter as will Harry, Ron and Hermione. Their purposes in Middle Earth will be revealed in later chapters.

--Voldemort is in the story and will be in leagues with Sauron. The reason for this will be revealed in later chapters.

-- Lucius is also in the story and he will NOT be in leagues with Voldemort after a series of tragic and unfortunate events unfold. He will also develop a friendship with one of the Charmed Ones. He'll make his first appearance also in the next chapter (and please don't flame me if Lucius is out of character! I don't have the patience for flames!).

--Dumbledore will make his first appearance in two chapters time with a LOTR-like twist.

--Dawn and Frodo's relationship will take an unexpected twist courtesy of Harry and Draco (yes, he's in the story too).

Well, that's it for now. Enjoy and please review. Remember, no flames! I will ignore them and I don't have the patience for them.

Summary: The Fellowship has lost one of it's own, Gandalf, to the Mines Of Moira and has now entered the forest of Lothlorien.

As they entered the woods of Lothlorien, the remaining nineteen members of the Fellowship remained quiet. The loss of Gandalf weighed on everyone's minds including Piper's. She practically liked the old wizard and was sorry over what happened. But she was the most sympathetic towards Frodo. Hearing his agonized cries as Gandalf took his fatal plunge broke her heart and it cast heaviness in her soul that she had never felt before in her entire life. After what happened in the Mines Of Moira, Piper made a silent vow to never leave Frodo and to guide him during the journey to Mordor. She was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Gimli speak.

"Stay close, Hobbits." He said. "I hear that a sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf witch."

Right and I'm the big bad wolf. Piper thought sarcastically but didn't dare to say that out loud. She then glanced at Leo who was shaking his head in disbelief. Paige was trying hard not to laugh and Phoebe rolled her eyes. Cole and Chris both had neutral expressions on their faces.

"Those who look upon her fall under her spell." Gimli continued. Piper shook her head in dismissal and was about to say something to Gimli when she heard a voice.

Piper!

Piper stopped and looked around then she glanced at Leo. "Did you just call me?" she asked.

Leo shook his head in confusion. "No, why?" he asked.

"I thought I heard someone say my name." Piper said. Then she waved her hand in dismissal. "Must've been my imagination."

You bring great power here, Charmed One.

"Okay, who's screwing with my head?" Piper demanded with a glare. She cast her glare at Phoebe and Paige.

"Hey, don't look at me." Paige said rather protectively. "I didn't do anything. Maybe, that Elf witch cast a spell on you."

Piper gave her sister an even stare. "Not funny, Paige." She said in an annoyed voice. Then she heard Gimli say.

"Well, there's one Dwarf, she won't ensnare so easily." He said. "I have the eyes of a hawk and ears of a fox." But he was stopped when he saw an arrow pointed at him. Piper looked and saw that the others were surrounded by Elves with arrows. Phoebe, Cole and Paige glared at Gimli.

"Eyes of a hawk and ears of a fox." Cole said sarcastically. "If you did have those, Gimli, you would've seen this coming." The Dwarf glared at him, Phoebe and Paige at Cole's words.

"Damn, bloody right." Spike agreed as he held his sword out in front of him waiting for one of the Elves to make a move. One Elf whom he recognized as Hadir moved forward toward him.

"A Dwarf who breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark." He said.

"Or this case, a group of travelers who are looking for a place to rest after a long journey."

The nineteen members of the Fellowship all turned at the sound of the voice of a man. He was tall with long brown hair and a beard. Spike's eyes widened in shock, surprise and recongization.

"Bloody hell!" he exclaimed. "Sirius?"

The man turned and gazed at Spike with a surprised look on his face. "Spike?" Then his surprised expression turned into a grin. "Spike, old buddy!"

"Sirius!" Spike bellowed and they embraced warmly. Buffy, Willow, and the rest of the Fellowship at them with a mixture of surprise, weariness and shock. Only Leo and Angel didn't look so surprised.

"Bloody hell, man." Spike said. "I thought you were dead."

Sirius grinned at him. "I was dead for a time. Then the Elders decided that my time was not over and brought me back. Instead of returning to England, I was brought here to serve as one of the Whitelighter guards for Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel."

"What I didn't expect," he added. "Was to find you, Leo or Aragorn here."

Angel turned to Leo and glared at him. "You knew about him and you didn't bother telling Spike about him?" He said in a low voice.

"I wanted to but the Elders told me that it was best if Spike found out for himself about Sirius so I decided not to against my better judgment." Leo replied rather defensively.

Aragorn stepped in between Spike and Sirius. "It is good to see you again, Sirius." He said. "We would not have come if we were not seeking a safe place to rest."

"It's good to see you again, Aragorn." Sirius replied. "I wouldn't have come if Hadir hadn't informed me of your presence here. You are well known along these parts."

Sirius glanced at the Charmed Ones. "Piper & Phoebe Halliwell and Paige Matthews a.k.a the Charmed Ones. You are very well known both here and in England as the most powerful witches to ever walk the earth."

Then he glanced at Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies. "Buffy Summers a.k.a the Slayer, you are also very well known here and in England. All of your friends are known to us as well."

Buffy grinned at him. "Thanks." She said.

Both Sirius and Hadir waved their hands for the Elves to lower their weapons and they did so. Then Sirius turned to the Fellowship and beckoned them to follow him and Hadir.

"Follow us." He said.

The members of the Fellowship followed them deeper into the forests of Lothlorien. After a few hours, they stopped at the borders of the center of the woods. Buffy and the Charmed Ones gasped.

"Oh, my God!" she exclaimed. "What is that?"

"That, Lady Buffy, is Caras Galadhon." Hadir said. "The heart of Elvendom on earth. Realm of Lord Celeborn and of Galadriel, Lady Of Light."

"This is a breathtaking sight, make no mistake." Phoebe whispered. The nineteen members of the Fellowship entered Caras Galadhon, which was breathtakingly beautiful in the inside as well as outside. There were trees everywhere as far as the eye could see and to Buffy, it was a place she wouldn't mind calling Heaven. She and the others followed Sirius and Hadir to a long staircase, which they had to climb on to reach the top. On the top was another staircase but they were stopped from going on it. Within a few minutes, Buffy knew why and her eyes widened in amazement. A pair of Elves, she assumed to be Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel, slowly came down the stairs. Once they were in front of them, Buffy found herself making eye contact with Galadriel.

Welcome, Chosen One. Buffy heard her say in her mind. She tried to say something but couldn't make out what she wanted to say. So instead, she kept looking at the Lady Of Light and waited for her to speak out loud.

"The enemy knows that you are here." Lord Celeborn said. "What hope you have for secrecy is now gone." Then he looked over at all of the members of the Fellowship.

"Nineteen there are and yet twenty cast off from Rivendell." He continued. "Tell me where is Gandalf? For I much desire to speak with him. I cannot see him from afar."

After a few seconds, Buffy heard Galadriel speak out loud. "He has fallen into Shadow." Beside her, Legolas spoke up.

"He was taken both by Shadow and flame." He said. "A Balrog of Morgoth. For we went needlessly into the Net of Moira."

Buffy glanced over at Gimli and saw a sad expression on his face. She immediately felt sorry for the Dwarf. Poor Gimli. He's blaming himself for what happened in the mines. She then shifted her gaze back to Galadriel

"Needless were none of the deeds of Gandalf in life." She said. "We do not yet know of his full purpose." Buffy saw that the Lady Of Light was shifting her gaze at Gimli with a sympathic gaze. Buffy turned back at the saddened Dwarf along with Piper, Leo, Dawn and Spike who were also glancing at him with sympathy. Then Buffy heard Galadriel say something that almost brought tears in her eyes.

"Do not let the great emptiness of Khazad-dum fill your heart, Gimli, son of Goiln." She said to him gently before she removed her gaze from the Dwarf. She glanced at everyone as she spoke again.

"For the world has grown full of peril and in all lands love is now mingled with grief." At those words, she drew her gaze at Willow and Boromir. After a few seconds, the Gondorian warrior drew away from the Lady Of Light's gaze breathing heavily.

"Boromir?" Willow said in a worried voice checking him over. He tried to smile to reassure her that he was all right but failed miserably when he saw the concerned looks on Angel and Cole's faces. Sirius glanced at Boromir in sympathy knowing exactly what had happened between the Gondorian warrior and Galadriel.

I know how he feels considering that I went through the same thing when I first came here after the Elders brought me back.

Sirius then turned his gaze back to Celeborn and Galadriel not noticing the look on Paige's face when she glanced at him with a small smile. Then once again, his attention shifted to Frodo and Dawn. He could tell by the look on the teenager's face that she was in love with the young Hobbit and was determined to help him destroy the Ring. It was the same kind of love that Sirius saw in someone that he once knew back in the days when he was a student at Hogwarts.

Lily.

Thoughts of his best friend's wife and his godson filled his mind. There hadn't been a day since he was brought back to Middle Earth that Sirius hadn't thought of Harry, his godson. He missed him terribly and often wished that he could go back and see him just for a moment but he also knew of the danger that would pose to everyone back home if he returned in the middle of a war between an evil Dark Lord and Middle Earth. After a while, Sirius had to resign to the fact that he couldn't go back yet and remained in Middle Earth.

But that doesn't mean that I have to like it or understand it. He thought. Sirius was so lost into his own thoughts that he didn't feel Spike slapping his shoulder.

"Hey, Sirius!" Spike said. "You're to escort us to our rooms for the night."

Sirius snapped out of his trance and glanced at his friend with an embarrassed look on his face. "Sorry. I was distracted." He said softly. Then he followed the members of the Fellowship downstairs to the ground to rest. Sirius's eyes never left Dawn and Frodo as they were walking and holding hands. Then his focus was then shifted back to Paige who smiled at him as she walked in front of him.

She reminds me a little bit of Lily. He thought. Except for the hair and the eyes. Just her smile. She has such a great smile…

"Bloody hell!" Sirius shouted not realizing that he was saying it outloud. Then his face turned red when he saw the stares he was receiving from everyone and hearing the giggles from Buffy, Willow, Dawn and the Charmed Ones. At that, he felt even more embarrassed than before.

Great, just my bloody luck!

Piper couldn't help but laugh at the expression on Sirius's face. She knew that what he shouted out had a lot to do with Paige because of the way that he was staring at her and at the way that Paige was staring at him.

I wonder he's developing feelings for Paige. Of course, I could be wrong. Then again, I could be right. She thought as she continued laughing and for the rest of the walk, she, her sisters and her friends kept on laughing.
