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

Chapter 27: The Head of the Snake.

Back in Dale, Gandalf could see spearmen and archers kill a massive troll. The Tide was now turning on the side of the Elves, Men, and Dwarves. "We may yet survive this." Gandalf grinned.

"GANDALF!" Bilbo yelled. 

Gandalf killed an Orc then hurried over to Bilbo who was standing at the wall and was watching Thorin, Dwalin, Fili, and Kili ride up a spur of the Mountain to where Azog and Voldemort were. 

Harry could see it too. "It's Thorin!" He realized. And that was when Dumbledore apparated next to him, decimating the Orcs in front. "Professor! Thorin came back to his senses!" 

"Yes he has, Harry." Dumbledore agreed. "And he is taking his best warriors with him." 

"To do what?" Bilbo asked.

"To cut the head off the snake." Gandalf answered. 

"He can't fight Voldemort alone. He needs our help." Harry noted.

"Yes, he does." Dumbledore agreed.

"Ron! Hermione!" Harry suddenly yelled. "Thorin needs my help!" 

Ron and Hermione turned to Harry who was already racing to Azog's Hill.

"Ron! Hermione!" Neville blasted another Orc back. "We'll handle these Orcs. Go help Harry!" 

And Ron and Hermione grabbed each other's hands and started running to help Harry. Blasting any spell they could at any Orc foolish enough to get in their way. 

Whereas atop the hill, Azog heard the sound of Goat hooves and snarled. Thorin, Dwalin, Fili and Kili reached the ruins on top of the hill, killing Orcs along the way. In front of them was a frozen river. 

"That Oakenshield. He doesn't play fair." Azog snarled.

But Voldemort remained calm. He looked to see a Death Eater mark in front of him glowing dark. "Yes, well... neither do I!" He declared for now was the time to send in his reinforcements. 

Back at Dale, Legolas and Tauriel arrived together on horseback, charging through the streets as they went and killing any Orc that dared to come into contact with them. And they came close to where Gandalf was fighting along with Dumbledore, Neville, Ginny, and Luna. 

"Gandalf!" Legolas yelled.

"Legolas..." Gandalf said.

Bilbo looked confused. 

"Legolas Greenleaf!" Gandalf greeted. 

"Hello!" Neville greeted. "You're just in time to join the fight. We're about to beat these Orcs into next week." 

But Legolas knew that wasn't it. "I'm afraid it's a false sense of hope. There is a second army! Bolg leads a force of Gundabad Orcs. They are almost upon us!" He reported as he got off his horse.

"Gundabad..." Gandalf realized. 

"What's that?" Ginny asked.

"It's an Orc Stronghold north of the Misty Mountains." Gandalf answered. "This was their plan all along."

"What was their plan?" Neville asked.

"Azog engages our forces, then Bolg seeps in from the North." Gandalf answered. 

"Wha... the north... where is the north, exactly?" Bilbo asked.

"Over there." Luna answered as she had a compass with her. 

"Ravenhill." Gandalf clarified as he turned and strode over to the parapets to look at the hill where Thorin went. 

"Ravenhill... Thorin us up there! And Fili and Kili! They're all up there!" Bilbo realized.
