The Boy Who Lived and the Hobbit. (A Harry Potter/Hobbit Crossover.)

Chapter 20: Fire on the Lake.

Bells rung all over Lake Town in alarm through the calm night. But it would not remain calm for long. Smaug was coming. And all the people in the Town were loading up whatever they could in boats in an attempt to get the hell out of there! And nobody could blame them.

Even the Master was trying to get out of there. "I warned you. Did I not warn you what would come of dealing with Dwarves? Now they've done it! They've woken the Dragon. They brought the apocalypse upon our heads!" He claimed as he pulled a candlestick on the wall which was actually a secret lever to a passage with his boat waiting while his guards were loading up as much treasure as they could. "Come on! Quickly! Quickly! Faster now! I'm trying to evacuate myself here! Careful men. Nevermind the books! Get on, get the rest of it!"

"But Sire, should we not try to save the town?" A Guard asked.

"The Town is lost! Save the Gold!" The Master ordered. 

"You heard him." Another Guard ordered as they loaded up the boat.

That left the rest of the Townspeople to fend for themselves as they started paddling their loaded boats away. While at Bard's House, Tauriel watched the sky knowing that Smaug was coming. And a huge shadow swooped overhead.

"We have no time. We must leave!" Tauriel informed as everyone was starting to get out of there.

"Get them up." Bofur said.

"Come on, Brother." Fili said as he helped Kili up.

"I'm fine. I can walk." Kili replied getting up.

"Same." Ginny said getting up while shaking her arm a bit as Neville and Bofur were getting blankets and other coats. 

"We gotta move. We gotta move right now." Ron insisted tapping his foot. "Blimey, where is Charlie when we need him?"

"He's in Romania." Ginny reminded.

"I know that. I was being sarcastic." Ron shot back.

"As fast as you can." Tauriel said to Tilda.

"We're not leaving. Not without our father." Bain suddenly told Tauriel.

"If you stay here, your sisters will die. Is that what your father would want?" Tauriel asked turning to Bain.

Neville saw the shadow of Smaug's wing above the house. "Guys. He's on the doorstep." And he started having a guilty look.

"Neville. What's wrong?" Ginny asked.

"Guys. This is our fault. We did this." Neville told Ron and Ginny.

"We didn't do anything. We didn't even go to the Mountain-" Ron said.

"You know what I mean, Ron!" Neville shot making even Ginny silent. "And if Smaug is attacking, do you think that Harry and-"

"No time for that kind of talk." Ginny interrupted. "Let's get out of this town before it's too late."

"Right. Just... just say the word." Neville sighed.

"Hey, we're all worried. But you need to keep your head on straight. We'll worry later." Ron told Neville. 

Bard was still stuck in the Town Jail and banging on the cell door. But no one was around. All the Guards were out of there. "Open this door! Do you hear me?!" He suddenly stopped as he saw Smaug flying high above the town. And in a desperate attempt, he tried to break the lock. But to no avail. He rushed to the other side to the window.

While Tauriel, the Dwarves, Neville, Ron, and Ginny started to get on a boat at the back of the house.

"Okay! Everyone in!" Ron shouted. "Let's go! Let's go!"
