Wishing things would return to the way they were after the war may not have been a good thing. Nor is the reality returned to how things were before the war. After all, something changed for things to have returned to the way they were in the first place, although Hermione doesn't know what changed beyond the world she knew before attending Hogwarts being turned upside down in a rather bizarre fashion. Disclaimer - I don't own Tolkien's Middle Earth or Harry Potter. This is my second attempt at a mega-crossover idea, so along with utilizing Japanese mythology, I'm going to further disclaim that I'm using characters and settings from Great-Uncle Dracula, Chronicles of Narnia, and Fena: Pirate Princess to flesh out the idea that I'll disclaim further along as I introduce characters and settings into the narrative, as well as other fandoms I may bring in. For further context, my first attempt was before the seventh Harry Potter book came out as well as before The Hobbit live-action series came out. I also bit off more than I could handle. (And by that I mean a lot more than I could handle.) I held back on certain things, either by withholding them or changing the idea I had for various reasons I won't go into here. I also admit that, like any other fanfic writer, I've my ship and headcanon preferences. Also, I'll be taking my time adding in the Tolkien elements so that they'll hopefully be believable rather than not.All Rights Reserved
