Disclaimer: I have to say that I do not own any thing from Harry Potter or
Lord of the Rings. Harry Potter is owned by the brilliant J.K. Rowling.
Lord of the Rings is owned by the genius J.R.R. Tolkien. (Notice the
uncanny similarity between Tolkien and Rowling how they both like to use
initials. I thought that was kinda uncanny, but maybe it's just a British
thing. Which I'm not.) In this I use lines from both the movies owned by
New Line and from Tolkien, I just combine them. I own nothing, I'm just
taking the characters for a joy ride.
Harry and Frodo's Big Switch
~Chapter 5, A Long Walk~
On that Christmas, the Fellowship departed from Rivendell to begin the long walk to Mordor. Harry was still adjusting to his new hobbit body, so for him he was the most uncomfortable of the group. But it didn't take long for him to adjust, he actually had some advantages to some of the others like his hairy hobbit feet that had natural shoe like soles, his feet hardly made footprints on the path.
Harry sighed. What a gloomy day, and if it was his choice he would have remained in Rivendell longer. The whole company seemed to be feeling the responsibility and dread of their mission, none more so than Harry. They found sleeping hard to do, and were always hungry and weary. Always watchful, but never ceasing they kept plodding on. Harry found that he had lots of time to think to himself. He hoped that Frodo was all right and would forgive Harry for putting him in this position for when they switched back. That is IF they switched back. Harry really hoped he wasn't making a mistake, but for some reason at the council he was just compelled. He felt he had to take the Ring, no one else. Harry thought it very strange.
On and on they plodded forward trying to go on only at night. At first Harry was quite impressed with the beauty of the Misty Mountains. Gandalf got a good chuckle when Harry told him during one of their meal breaks.
"Would you believe it Harry that in those very mountains Bilbo Baggins found the Ring?" Gandalf explained.
"Really?" Harry asked.
Gandalf nodded. "Did Bilbo ever get to tell you about his adventures?"
"Only some of them, he didn't really get to the part about the Ring."
"There is this creature Gollum that was its bearer for over five hundred years, living in a dark cave deep inside the mountains. One day the Ring abandoned Gollum as it wants to get back to Sauron. And who should pick it up but Bilbo. The Ring saved his life that day as well as many others. That is why you must always have the Ring on its chain, for it will try to slip from your grasp."
Days after Harry's conversation with Gandalf, they reached Hollin, where they took a brief rest. Boromir decided to teach Merry and Pippin how to fence, which amused Harry greatly. "Two, one, five. Good! Very good." Boromir told Pippin as they fought.
"Move your feet." Aragorm suggested.
As they continued fighting, Gimli was announcing his concerns to Gandalf.
"If anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I'll note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way round. Gandalf! We could pass through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome."
"No, Gimli. I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice." Gandalf replied.
Then Merry and Pippin started to wrestle with Boromir after he accidentally cut Pippin. Harry soon found his attention drawn to Legolas who seemed to spot something in the distance. Sam noticed Harry looking into the distance, where a black smudge in the sky was drawing closer to them.
"What is that?" Sam said.
"Nothing. It's just a wisp of cloud." Gimli answered looking.
Boromir glanced at it too. "It's moving fast. Against the wind."
Harry felt fear in the pit of his stomach. "I have a bad feeling about this." He uttered.
Legolas suddenly recognized it with his long seeing Elvish eyes. "Crebain from Duneland!" he yelled.
Aragorn yelled "HIDE!" so they all hid behind boulders and under holly bushes. After the large crow-like birds had flown past them Gandalf said worriedly. "Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras."
Saruman as Harry recalled was the evil wizard who had taken Gandalf hostage for a time. So this horrible wizard knew about the Fellowship. Therefore he would try to stop them if he found out their location. And what pass were they going to take? This Caradhras place didn't sound nice.
"Where is Caradhras?" Harry asked Aragorn.
"There," he said, pointing to the snow capped mountains above them. Harry sighed, his sense of dread growing. As he thought about it, why was he so scared of a mountain? Hadn't he faced the worst wizard of his world a number of times? Why was he turning into a worrywart all of a sudden, it didn't make much sense. Summoning up every bit of Gryffindor courage he had, Harry started going up the mountain with a new vigor. It was just a snow covered mountain, nothing that could hurt him, right? All he had to worry about was throwing a piece of jewelry in a volcano. That wasn't going to be too hard, he thought. And scaling this snow covered mountain wasn't going to be that hard. Or so he thought.
AN: Yes I am back finally updating this story. I'm extremely sorry for the delay, but the real world just hit me in full force. I am now attending full time college along with a full time job, and I'm finding it that I have a hard time spending time with my writing. Plus I have 7 other stories to work on. My plan with this fic, is to have it done on the exact day it (my first ff fic) was published February 22. I would like to thank my reviewers: Stellamucca, Katronette, PixieDust, Strider Evenstar, Ashly Potter, Day-Dreaming Rhiannon, Irish Flying Fish, Illucia, Erin, read-a- holic, and Sony. You guys are great, I'm sorry sorry this has taken me so long to update! ( Anyways, well I best work on my midterm paper! See ya all next time, and don't forget to review!!!
