October 25

I'm at something called "the council of Elrond". It's a secret meeting, but no one knows that I'm here, and no one knows that Sam is here, either.

This morning, when Sam and I were talking to Frodo, Gandalf came in and said that it was time for the meeting. Frodo got up from the chair that he was sitting in and followed Gandalf out of the room. Sam followed, not only because he wanted to find out what was going on, he also had nothing to do. I followed too, for the same reasons.

When we got there, Sam and I hid behind some nearby bushes. I got out my wand and conjured up a deck of cards for us to play with. Sam seemed delighted. Anyway, after a few minutes the meeting began. Elrond got up and introduced everyone to eachother, said a few things, and sat back down. Then Gandalf got up and started talking, and that's where we're currently at. I just saw Merry and Pippin Lurking behing a couple of pillars. They're probably listening in to the meeting just like Sam and I are.

Sam wants to play a card game that I taught him. It's called poker, and we're using my wizard money to take bets on.

Later

Right now it's pretty late. The meeting went pretty well. When it was nearly over, as I guessed correctly, Frodo stood up and said that he would take the Ring into Mordor. Sam gasped, but I silenced him (no, I didn't use a silencing charm). Gandalf went over to Frodo, and said that he would be coming. Then Aragorn got up up and went over to Frodo.

"If I can do anything to protect you, I will," he said.

Then someone called Boromir got up and said, "You carry the fate of all, Frodo, and Gondor will see it done."

Then an elf, Legolas, got up and said, "You have my bow." And Gimli, a dwarf, came over to Frodo and said, "And my ax!"

After Gimli said that, Sam and I rushed out and joined the group, and Sam said that Frodo wouldn't be going anywhere without him. And when Elrond said that Sam and I could come, Merry and Pippin came out from beind the pillars, and Pippin said that Elrond would have to tie them up in a sack to stop them from coming. Elrond agreed to let them come, though somewhat reluctantly.

Anyway, after the meeting, Merry and Pippin were complaing about how bored they were, and how they wanted to start off immediatley, so I got out my wand and did a few spells for their amusement. Merry seems to have taken a liking to me, same goes for Pippin. They have started hanging out with me.

Well, I have to go now. Merry says that it is time for dinner.
