Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth...

In the void and chaos.

A golden meteor flashed past from beyond countless universes, heading towards the depths of chaos.

But as they passed through a magnificent universe, an unparalleled will from the cosmos cast its gaze upon them, accompanied by melodies that were sacred, supreme, and majestic.

With just one glance, He discerned the golden meteor.

Suddenly, the meteor changed direction and was drawn into this universe.

An unprecedented new note has emerged, bringing a new melody to this world composed of grand musical movements, adding a touch of dynamism to the originally magnificent composition.

……

"Hey, sir, wake up!"

Awakening from his slumber, Dui heard a voice in his ear.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a desolate green forest.

There was another person looking at him with a worried expression.

Dui was a little confused. Shouldn't he be sleeping at home? How did he end up lying in the wild?

And who is this foreigner in front of me?

Having a question in mind, he asked it directly.

"Who are you?"

"Uh, I am Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins, sir."

Bilbo Baggins? That sounds familiar...

Suddenly he froze, his eyes widening in disbelief.

How could someone whose English grades were barely passing during his school years suddenly understand what this person was saying?

Even when they speak, they use the other person's language, as if it were their mother tongue—an instinctive way.

When he stood up in surprise, he realized that Bilbo was less than half his height.

dwarf?

It doesn't look like it.

Observe more closely,

Only then did I realize that this little dwarf had a pair of pointed ears, and its large feet were barefoot, covered with thick pads and downy fur.

This is not a known human race at all!

Then, thinking about his name, an absurd conjecture popped into my head.

"Are you a hobbit?!"

The simple-minded hobbit nodded sincerely.

"Where is this place?"

"This is the Shire, Hobbiton of the Shire, sir."

Dui was completely disheartened.

Good heavens, what on earth is going on?

How did he end up in a time-traveled world after waking up, and in such a dangerous one at that?

It is important to know that this place is home not only to extraordinary species such as orcs, trolls, and elves, but also to lesser gods such as wizards, dragons, balora, and Maia, as well as the god-level Valar and even the creator god Ilúvatar.

How can an ordinary person like him survive here?

This is an absolutely hellish start!

Bilbo stared at the human before him, his expression shifting like a palette of colors, and couldn't help but quietly take a few steps back.

This human seems a bit mentally unstable.

But as a kind and friendly hobbit, he couldn't bring himself to abandon people.

"Um, sir, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I just can't find my way home!" Dui said with a wry smile.

Are you lost?

Bilbo exclaimed in surprise.

"Perhaps you could buy a map at the village; they sell maps of places outside the Shire."

Dui shook his head dejectedly and helplessly.

"My home is very far away; I may never be able to get there in my lifetime."

Bilbo looked bewildered, somewhat unable to comprehend how far the distance he was referring to was.

But seeing this human surrounded by loneliness and sadness, the kind-hearted hobbit was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort him.

"Uh, sir, I mean, would you perhaps like to come to my house as a guest?"

Dui looked up, a hint of surprise showing in his sorrowful expression.

Bilbo felt a little embarrassed being stared at like that.

"We rarely have outsiders visiting the Shire. If you have nowhere else to go, you can stay with me for a few days."

Dui immediately showed a grateful expression and readily agreed.

"Thank you for taking me in, Mr. Bilbo Baggins, you are a truly kind man!"

Bilbo was very embarrassed by the praise.

"Well then, please follow me, sir."

As he spoke, he slung the fishing rod, which was more than twice his own length, over his shoulder and carried the fish bucket in his other hand, leading the way.

Dui, who was walking behind, suddenly lost all sadness and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although his emotions were genuine, he was mostly putting on an act for Bilbo's benefit.

All in order to gain the hobbit's sympathy and be taken in.

After all, he had traveled to this unfamiliar world all by himself.

If no one takes them in, they'll probably have to sleep in the wilderness.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Bilbo Baggins could be considered one of the main characters in this world in a sense.

Whatever his future plans are, being around the protagonist will give him more opportunities and choices.

Follow the winding path, passing by one hobbit house after another.

These houses are very Hobbit-like, mostly buried in mounds of earth, with roofs on grassy slopes, round wooden doors painted in light green, light yellow, or light blue, and gardens full of flowers in front of them.

It's like the rabbit hole in a fairy tale.

The passing hobbits curiously peeked out from their gardens to observe the human following Bilbo.

Bilbo, contrary to his usual behavior, did not greet his neighbors and even unconsciously quickened his pace.

On the contrary, Dui didn't care at all about being watched, and took the initiative to smile and nod to these hobbits.

The two arrived at a cave-like structure at the end of the road. A wooden sign hung at the entrance of the courtyard, which read "Bag End Cave".

This is Bilbo Baggins' home.

Bag End's garden is flat and beautiful, clearly well cared for by its owner.

"I forgot to ask your name, sir. What's your name?" Bilbo asked as he opened the door.

"My name is Dui... Er?"

Just as Dui was about to say his own name, the name Duir suddenly popped into his mind, and he unconsciously uttered it.

It's as if this is what I've always called!

What's going on?

Dui was shocked. When did he get this name?

Bilbo didn't notice Dui's odd behavior and reminded him as he entered, "Alright, Dui, please keep your head down a bit when you come in. After all, you know that you humans are much taller than us."

"Bang!" Dui was caught off guard and his forehead slammed directly into the roof beam, instantly clutching his head and letting out a cry of pain.

"Well, Mr. Duir, are you alright?" Bilbo asked with concern and a hint of suppressed laughter.

"I'm fine!" Dui rubbed his head and waved his hand.

He couldn't afford to let his mind wander anymore. The hobbit cave was a bit unfriendly to his 1.85-meter height, so he could only keep his head down and bend over, afraid of bumping into the roof beam again.

Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and found a seat to sit down.

Bilbo, on the other hand, went straight into the kitchen to prepare to entertain Dui.

[Hogwarts Check-in System: Location: Shire - Hobbiton - Bag End. Check-in required?]

An entry appeared out of nowhere in Dui's sight.

"What the hell?!"

Dui was startled.

"What is it, Mr. Duyle?" Bilbo popped his head out of the kitchen.

"No...it's nothing!" Dui realized that the other person hadn't seen the entry in front of him, and immediately shook his head.
