Replies to the reviews for Chapter 3.
Marauder no. Five - Thanks for the review. I found your review after I had orginally uploaded this chapter, but I add it and reloaded the chapter. Hope that makes you happy.
wishfullliving89 – Thanks for the review. I really don't think any of the story really has been funny. Well, maybe stuff with Squeak, but that's what the goblins are for.
Chainsaws4life – Thanks for the review. I'm trying to update at least once a day.
FashionAvenue – Even the best authors have someone else look at their work and even then there are mistakes in the books published. I know I've noticed in a few of the books I've read. I may be a beta, but I'm not perfect. Who is? I've gone to your profile. You say your a harsh reviewer, well let me remind you that this is fan fiction. It doesn't matter how good or bad you are we do this because we love the fandom and writing. I won't review your story. No, I'll post my reply here on my own story as well as send it to you. About the spelling, I have never been good at spelling. I've always had problems. I do my best to catch misspelling, but I don't catch them all. Like I said who is perfect. As always your are allowed your opinion, but I love writing and I plan to continue. I thank you for your review.
Severus-Snape-Forever-Young – Thanks for the review. :)
Ayjah – Yeap, he is.
Shadow Shauwna – Thanks for the vote of confidence. :) Your review made me really happy after reading another review. I think you can guess which one. Don't forget that there hasn't been any bobbing for apples yet.
As the saying goes, "you can't please everyone all the time," but I like to think I've pleased a good bit of people. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course.
I changed this from a humor story. I can't really write it. If I feel that the story calls for something funny, I'll add it, but this isn't going to be a really funny story.
So here's chapter 4. I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 4
A large group of chocolate cake belly filled goblins hid in the shadows, just out of sight. Sarah sat on a crate and smiled at the rather large group of goblins around her, most on their backs.
"It was that good, huh?"
Groaning, Squeak raised his little head from the ground. "Much better than last year's, Lady."
Hoggle sat up. "Did you hear that?"
Sarah looked around, trying not to show her fear. "Hear what?"
Slowly, Sir Didymus stood up. "Someone is coming."
As quickly as they could, which wasn't really fast since they all had bloated bellies, the goblins, all but Squeak, disappeared. Sarah stood up, ready to face whom ever was coming towards them.
Taking an involuntary step back, Sarah watched as a man in tight dark jeans and a black shirt with wild golden hair walked into view. Vaguely in the back of her mind, a memory from five years ago began to appear.
"You're him, aren't you? Your the Goblin King."
Walking further into the shadows, he smirked. "Hello, Sarah."
Hoggle and Sir Didymus quickly got between their friend and king. The King's face went blank at the sight.
"Now is this any way to greet your sovereign?"
Sir Didymus drew his sword. "I refuse to allow thee to harm her."
The King cracked a slight smile. "I don't plan to harm her at all, Sir Didymus." He tilted his head to the side slightly. "I only wish to talk."
Hoggle remained in place, although he was visibly shaking from fear. "I doubt she wants to talk to ya."
Smirking again, the King moved closer to Sarah. "Oh, really, Hogsbrain. I doubt you know everything that transpired between Sarah and I."
Hoggle glanced back at Sarah. "I may not, but I'm not going to let you any where near her." Sir Didymus nodded in agreement.
He looked at Sarah. "Always with your protectors, I see."
Sarah glanced into the deeper shadows, hoping Ludo would do something soon, not wanting to look him in the eyes. Damn, he had to know then. He had to know about the dreams she had been having. That had to be the reason he was here now. Well, the fact it was Halloween was also a reason, but the dreams had to be why, after all these years, he was making an appearance.
He moved closer. "I take it they don't know what exactly has been going on. Do they, Sarah?"
Suddenly, a roar filled the air. Groaning, the King moved back as a group of rocks began to move towards him.
"Call him off, Sarah. I haven't done anything to cause him to call the rocks."
Sarah glared at him. "Not today you mean."
Frowning slightly, he moved further back. "I'll remind you once again. Everything I've done I've done because you asked it of me." He stood as he entered into the sunlight. "You asked for an adventure, and I gave it to you."
"Stop. Just leave. I know you can come to this realm because it is Samhain, but just stay away from me. You have no power over me."
Smirking, he moved closer again. "I beg to differ, Sarah. If I didn't, then why are you having those dreams."
A larger large rock rolled into view and lined itself up to roll towards the Goblin King. He looked at the massive boulder.
"We are not finished, Sarah. I could always make your friends leave."
Anger floated off of Sarah as she stepped towards him. "Leave them alone."
Conjuring a crystal orb, he smirked. "Now, Sarah, I am still their ruler. I can do what ever I want with them."
"No, you can not. I once said my kingdom is as great as yours. I claim them as subjects of my kingdom."
"What kingdom, Sarah? Your bedroom?"
"Why you... ," Sarah moved closer again.
"I offered you a kingdom once, Sarah. You refused my offer."
"You only offered me my dreams. I don't need you to get my dreams."
He glanced at the crystal orb in his hand. "Oh, but I know your dreams, Sarah, and you do need me to get them." Tossing the crystal orb towards her, He turned away. "I will see you later, Sarah. I don't plan to return till midnight."
Watching him walk away, Sarah took a deep breath. Damn, this wasn't good, but she refused to allow him to threaten her friends. Even if he was their king. No one would ever hurt her friends, not if she could help it. She looked at her friends.
"So what now?"
Hoggle turned to face her. "We watch ourselves for the rest of the day, Sarah."
Sir Didymus nodded and replaced his sword. "Yes, thou must be very careful until Samhain is over."
Sighing, Sarah looked back at Ludo. "You can call the rocks off, Ludo. He's gone."
The massive creature walked into view. "Okay, Sawah."
Trying to collect herself, she smiled at her friends. "Come on, the day's still young and we haven't bobbed for apples yet."
Sir Didymus glanced around them. "As you wish, M'lady."
Slowly, Sarah lead the group towards where she hoped a bobbing for apples game was set up. Neither her nor her friends, including Squeak, didn't notice the white golden barn owl following them.
There ya'll go. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm going to begin working on chapter 5 almost as soon as this is posted. I'll try to have it ready tomorrow.
So if you please, review.
