Chapter 4
"Get on to the cart," said Gandalf.
Harry, Ron and Hermione got onto the cart.
"You must be Frodo," said Hermione to the creature sitting with them.
"How do you know?" asked Frodo, surprised.
"I'll explain everything later," said Hermione.
Harry and Ron looked at each other and shrugged.
"Dumbledore said that he had a twin brother. Aberforth, I think," said Harry. "Maybe this guy's him."
"His name's Gandalf, Harry, not Aberforth," said Hermione impatiently.
The five of them rode across a bridge. Harry, Ron and Hermione could see creatures like Frodo working busily all around.
"Where are we going?" asked Ron.
"To Bilbo's,"said Hermione. "Didn't you hear Gandalf?"
"Who's Bilbo?" asked Ron.
"He's Frodo's uncle," said Hermione. How do you know?" asked Ron. "I'll explain everything later," said Hermione yet again. "You know, you're really beginning to irritate me," said Ron. Hermione pretended not to have heard this. Finally they reached a little hill with a round door in it. There was a sign in front of the gate that said "No admittance except on party business". Gandalf opened the gate, paying no attention to the sign. He was followed by Frodo and the three newcomers. Gandalf knocked on the door. A voice from inside said, " No, thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well wishers or distant relatives". "And what about very old friends?" asked Gandalf.
The door opened just a tiny bit and another creature, very much like Frodo, could be seen peeping through the gap. Then the door opened wide.
"Gandalf?" said Bilbo
"Bilbo Baggins!" said Gandalf, for indeed it was Bilbo Baggins.
"My dear Gandalf."
"You haven't aged a bit," said Gandalf, looking at Bilbo, who just smiled in return.
"Who are your friends," asked Bilbo.
"Young Frodo and I found them on our way here," said Gandalf. "Bilbo, these are Misters Harry Potter and Ron Weasley and thisis Miss Hermione Granger.
