The Perils of Teaching With Elves
by Araflower and Sunlily
Chapter 5
"Oy, out of my way, little people!" yelled one of the most feared people in the school -- Gandalf.
Behind him stood Saruman, principal's stooge, and, Boromir suspected, Gandalf's off-and-on loever, although Boromir didn't like to think about that.
When Pippin tripped over Saruman's staff, Saruman fixed the poor Hobbit with a glare of doom and intoned, "Watch your great clumsy feet, you little bugger. The Eye sees all and knows all!"
Pippin went very white and whispered to Merry (who was standing next to him), "If that's true, I reckon we're both in a heap of trouble!"
Merry laughed, then thought, and then turned as white as Pippin.
Saruman cackled. "The Eye sees ALL!" he shouted. "And he knows what you have been doing, little Hobbits! So you'd better run!"
Pippin and Merry took that advice and dashed off to the safety of their classrooms.
Gandalf turned to Saruman. "Have they really done anything?" he asked.
"Dunno. But by the way they reacted, I'd say yes. Just thought I should scare them a little. Keep them on their toes."
"Ahh, I like your style. Say..." Gandalf leaned a little closer to Saruman. "Why don't a learn a little more about your personal style?" he said, in a lecherous old man voice.
Boromir cleared his throat. "Um, Gandalf, I was wondering if you would teach Elrond's class. He's a little...indisposed...right now."
Gandalf glared at Boromir.
Saruman moved away from Gandalf. "You really should, Gandalf. Those students are little terrors, and someone has to keep them in line. We'll have our learning time later," he said, and was gone.
"Oh, very well," Gandalf said, still glaring at Boromir. "Which classroom?"
