I almost threw up when Jamie showed me the poster she had made. It was horrible. Funny but horrible.

"Jake, that's a brilliant picture," I said. He smiled. Next to me Jamie and Frodo were laughing together.

"What's so funny?" Billee asked, sitting down beside me. His eyes lit up when he saw the paper. "Show me" he commanded, holding out his hand. Jake passed it to him. Billee stared at it for a moment and then began to smile. He looked at Legolas and they both laughed.

"I like it" Billee said after a moment. Jake looked relieved. "I think we should wait a day or so," he continued. "Until the Randy one has died down a bit. Everyone is talking about it"

"Where's Baz?" Jake asked, looking around. "I thought he would have been here by now"

"He got held back by Celeborn" Billee said with a shrug. "He said he'd be along as soon as he could"

We all jumped as we heard the plate crash to the floor. As I looked around, I saw that Randy had finally shown his face in the dining hall. And as usual he was picking on someone. Sam, Frodo's best friend, was cowering in front of him, his lunch over the floor. Even from where I was sitting, I could see that he was crying. Most of the teachers weren't in yet and no one else seemed to be taking much notice. Apart from us guys of course.

"Sam!" Frodo jumped up, intent on going to his rescue, but Jaime grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. Jake began to get up, and then changed his mind. We all turned to look at Billee.

Billee was on his feet in a second. Clenching his fists, he marched across the dining hall. Legolas and I glanced at each other and went after him.

"Hey Randy!" Billee said loudly. "Is it good, picking on people smaller than you?"

"You shut up" Randy turned to face him, his fists raised. "I know you put that poster up, Billee. And I'll get you for that if it's the last thing I ever do"

Billee moved around so that he was standing between Randy and Sam. Sam had stopped crying and was looking at Billee hopefully.

"Billee" he whispered, so quietly that we could barely hear him. "Don't let Randy hurt me"

"Don't worry Sam, I won't let him hurt you" Billee said, locking eyes with Randy. The two stayed like that for a moment, eyes locked and bodies tense. Finally it was Randy who lowered his eyes.

"I swear I'll get you for this, Billee" he spat. "And your pathetic group of friends too. You had better watch yourself" He turned round and stormed out, banging the door behind him. Frodo rushed up to Sam and hugged him.

"Thank you Billee," he said sincerely. "I don't know what we would have done without you here. Everyone else was too scared of Randy…"

"It was no problem" Billee gave them a faint smile. "It's just a pity that Baz missed it. He'll be really disappointed"

"You will be careful, won't you?" I whispered as the hobbits cheered for him. "If Randy had it in for you before, he'll really have it in for you now. I don't know what I'd do if you got hurt…"

"I'll be fine" Billee promised, giving me a hug. When he drew back, I saw Boromir watching us with a funny expression on his face…
