Hogwarts Comes to Middle Earth:

Several things first. This is Majorly AU. Second, I don't own LotR or HP. I might at the end of the next chapter, and every so often let the readers decide how the story progresses. And this chappie is more like an introduction than the first actual chapter. The next chapter will have a lot more detail about certain things, and will end with their arrival in Middle Earth.

It has been Seven years since the Battle of Hogwarts, and the school has been rebuilt, and turned into the Fortress that Castles were supposed to be. Nearly nothing remained the way it had once been. There were now multiple lines of defense, and the Castle grounds resembled more of a Medieval Capital than a school. The first line of defense consisted of Archer Towers with slits for the Archers to shoot out of, a wall that was about as thick as Harry's Uncle. The gates consisted of a Guardhouse built into the wall, from which members of the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army controlled who entered the grounds. A secondary wall lay meters behind the first with thick Oak doors as its Guards. The center of the School had been turned into a keep, from which the Head of the Castle could conduct their business. A small, but bustling city had been built within the grounds and if the school was to come under siege, they would be able to outlast any enemy, as they could magic themselves water, and a large farm was kept adding to the ever growing stockpile of food with Stasis charms on them. As a matter of course, each student was taught Archery and Swordsmanship. And at the center of it all stood Harry Potter.

Harry had known immediately after the war with Voldemort that Wizards would not be able to hide much longer, and that there would be a war, one that the Wizards would lose. So he used the wealth that he had acquired thanks to Tom Riddle to make it so that the school would be able to survive own it's own indefinitely-so long as they did not come to need more space to quickly. The once seven floored castle now stood twice that, and Harry had quietly amassed what had amounted to a Personal Army when he took control of the Order of the Phoenix, which thanks to it's charter, was technically it's own country. Harry had used this to his advantage, slowly gathering the best and the brightest of minds within the safety of its borders.

He was right. Four years after the end of the Second British Magical Civil War, (Or the Second War of Voldemort), Magic was revealed to the Muggles and war reigned. No longer did blood purity run the Wizarding world, and, in an effort to keep magic alive, countries sent many of their youngest to the last beacon of the Wizarding World. Hogwarts.

Throughout the course of the war, Harry slowly began preparing for a massive undertaking. Thanks to a final gift from Dumbledore, he had safe places that he could take the people. But it would need a massive amount of energy, for he would be transporting the entirety of Hogwarts and it's grounds to another dimension. One in which Harry hoped that they could live in peace. As the war neared its final days, most of the Wizarding world had come seeking the refuge at Hogwarts, and it was only thanks to Magical exspansion charms that everyone fit.

And finally after seven years of war to the day, the moment came. And Hogwarts left Earth forever.

Authors Note:

Yes I know that this is extremely short. This is a trial run. I promise the next chapter, the first true chapter will come next, and be very very very much longer than this one.
