Potions Master
"Perhaps I could help," came the voice. To everyone's surprise a man with dark, greasy hair stood there.
"Professor Snape… how did you get here so fast?" Hermione asked, pressing her lips together, none to happy about that fact that he had come so suddenly. She then saw Oliver step through what was now a blank spot on the wall and they could see through to the other side.
"He was coming down to get the Weasly's as it is time for them to start heading home," Oliver commented.
"Wood, I am in need of these ingredients from the Potions classroom. Bring them here as fast as you can go to the castle and back," Snape commented. "Use one of the school brooms to go and get back. And the rest of you… I need you to absolutely stay out of my way!"
Ai grabbed his sister's sleeve and dragged her behind him. Hermione and Ainel followed through, yet they could still see through the wall. Soon Oliver came back and Hagrid was walking down slowly down the path.
"'mione… you do know that going through the magic barriers and messing with what you don't know is a good idea," Hagrid muttered, shaking his head at the small group.
"Hey… Hagrid… do you see that hole in the wall?" Hermione asked.
"Very funny… you didn't blow a hole in the wall to get back out, that is very obvious," Hagrid commented.
"No… where we went through, there's a doorway now…" Oliver nodded for the giant to follow through. Soon Harry, the Weasly's who had been there earlier and Dudley came back.
"We got Hagrid, he walks faster then us," Harry commented.
"Of course… he's a giant," Irumi's eyes were wide.
"Of course… she's fascinated more with the giant," Ron muttered, only to be elbowed in the ribs by Ginny.
"I managed to get through the Hobbit… the Mirkwood Elven king was… interesting," Ginny commented. "And the Dwarves are nothing like ours… I don't think Lockhart's idea for Valentines was cute anymore… I think it was horrid."
"Is he related to the stone giants?" Ainel spoke up. Fred and George clapped a hand on his back.
"Finally… he's showing interest in something," the twins commented, only to have the Elf glare at them.
Irumi's head however turned to where the person who came forward to help them was working, but Hagrid broke the view. Hermione frowned as she watched the sun setting. "I don't think I'll be home before dark."
"Sorry Hermione…" Irumi commented suddenly turning around.
"What I do know about the whole magic thing… it takes quite a bit of time…" Ainel commented. "When it's this deep of magic…"
Dudley glanced at his watch, beginning to time the whole thing. When they heard a sudden cracking, he called out the time. "Twenty four minutes… twenty-three seconds…"
"What exactly was going on…" Harry commented as the cracking continued.
"He had better not have done something irreversible," Irumi suddenly said and rushed through the doorway and around Hagrid. Ai followed her and they were just in time to see Legolas standing there. His eyes blinked and then he collapsed… but who wouldn't not having been moving for such a long time.
Author's note – Ron grumbles on the screen. "I don't know what's going on… but the author of this fanfic didn't make it long because she felt she would be pushing it…"
