This is a Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter crossover but it mostly stays with Harry Potter. Hope you like it.

-------------------------------------------Prologue-------------------------------------------------------------------

The sun was setting turning the sky red, orange, purple, yellow and blue. In Privet Drive, house number four, a teenage boy was sitting on the window sill watching the sky. It was the fifth of July and this boy was Harry Potter. He was waiting for his owl Hedwig to get back from his friends house. He looked at the ground and saw old Arabella Figg glaring at someone. Most likely someone from the Order of the Phoenix. He sighed and looked back up at the sky and saw Hedwig flying faster than normal. He opened his window and jumped out the way just in time. She was quite agitated and held her leg out so he quickly took the letter and read it.

Harry,
I don't have much time but I have to warn you. There is going to be a death eater attack on your house as soon as the sun has set. Please try and get out before it's too late. I hope Hedwig has arrived in time to let you escape. Please just get out of Privet drive.

Hermione.

Harry looked out the window and saw the sun had almost set. He had to work fast if he was going to get out alive. He grabbed his Firebolt and his invisibility cloak and ran towards the door. He was about to open it when he head a faint noise behind him. It sounded like a hissing cat. He spun round with his wand out ready to hex whoever it was. He stopped when he saw a girl about his age standing watching him calmly. Her hair was dirty blonde and came down to her waist. Her blue eyes stared into his emerald ones as if she was trying to work something out about him. Harry was about to ask her who she was when she cut him off.

"Harry, you must come with me. You won't get out of this house alive if you don't come."

"Who are you? How do you know I won't get out alive?" he kept his wand pointed at her but this didn't seem to put her off. She took a step towards him.

"I am Ireth. I know you won't get out alive because I saw what will happen in a dream. Now please lower your wand and come with me."

"Where will you take me if I come?"

"I will take you away from this realm. I will take you to a safe place where you can be trained to be a great warrior."

"What is this place called?"

Ireth couldn't help but smirk "If I tell you the name here you will not believe me. In this realm it is a well known tale. It is a favourite with the humans here."

"Humans? What do you mean humans? You're a human aren't you?"

"You assume so much yet know very little. I am no Human. I am an elf and I am here to help you escape."

Harry was shocked by this announcement. He lowered his wand without thinking. They heard a loud bang outside. Thinking quickly Ireth grabbed his arm and quickly whispered something that he couldn't hear then Harry saw black.
