Frodo was trudging through the rocks of Emyn Muil, loyal Sam following on his heels. Just as they reached the top of one cliff, they heard a loud CRACK and beheld a strange sight. Two people, a boy with tousled black hair and striking green eyes, and a girl with bushier hair than Gandalf, stood before them.

"Who are you, and are you a servant of the Dark tower or not?" Frodo said sternly, attempting to sound dangerous. It was difficult not to laugh when the two children were pointing flimsy sticks at him in what was supposed to be a threatening manner.

"EXPELLIARMUS!" cried the boy, and a jet of red light flew at Frodo.

"NOOOOOO!" cried Sam, throwing himself in front of Frodo. However, when the light hit him, nothing happened.

The girl tugged on the boy's arm. "Harry, I think they're good. It's from a Muggle book, a very good one, called the Lord of the Rings. I was thinking about it right before we apparated, and apparently we apparated into the book."

The boy, Harry, shrugged. Evidently, stranger things had happened to him. Frodo was bewildered. What were these strange people talking about? He decided to attempt conversation again. "Who are you? And what book do you speak of? Will it help me get rid of this foul Ring?"

Harry turned to the girl. "Hermione, what on earth is he talking about?"

Hermione replied, "Let me talk to him, I think I can work this out. It won't take long."

…

Four hours later.

"…and so if you'll just let us take you by side-along apparition, you can complete your journey that much quicker."

Frodo was completely bemused. He still didn't understand a word she had said, but they were not trying to kill him, or take the Ring, so they must not be bad.

"Alright, then." he said, and Harry and Hermione grabbed him and Sam, and turned on the spot. Frodo experienced a sickening rush of colors, and caught a glimpse of Sauron's Eye, and suddenly, they were there.

"Welcome to Mount Doom," said Hermione, rather proud of herself. "Quick, throw the Ring in!"

Frodo stared at the Ring for a few heartbeats, then yelled, "NO!" and tossed it into the heart of Mount Doom. Hermione's smug smile evaporated and she whispered a few words to Harry. They grabbed Frodo and Sam again, and turned—EXPLOSIONS COLOR SOUNDS—and Frodo and Sam were standing in a courtyard in Rivendell.

And the Ring was no more.
