Yesterday, when I was talking with Sam and Frodo about our trip, we all noticed Galadriel walking by us (gliding would actually be the correct word). Sam wanted to follow her, because other than the fact that he absolutely loves Elves, he was curious (very curious, mind you) about where she was going.
"Mr. Harry, Mr. Frodo," said Sam, "Let's follow Galadriel."
"Why do you want to follow her?" I asked.
"I'm just curious to find out where she's headed off to."
"Yes, Sam," said Frodo, "so am I. But even so-"
"We'll go with you," I said to Sam, looking at Frodo.
Sam looked at Frodo.
"Well, all right," Frodo said.
After Frodo had said that, he, Sam, and I started off after Galadriel. We followed her to a little clearing with what I though was a bird bath in the middle. Galadriel had a silver pitcher with her, and she dipped it into a small stream, and filled it with water.
"You were anxious, were you not, to see what you call Elf magic?" she said, turning around to face Sam, who looked down at his feet.
"I was. And I still am," he replied.
"Here you will see what you call Elf magic, young hobbit," Galadriel said, as she poured the water from the silver pitcher into what I thought was a bird bath, turns out, it wasn't a bird bath. "You may come and look into the mirror, but you must be careful not to touch the water. Anyone of you may come forward first. But first however, I must warn you. This mirror shows many things. Things that were, are, or have not yet happened. And what you see may not even come true for you."
Sam looked up hesitantly.
"Go on," Frodo said, and he gave Sam a little push forward.
Sam came forward and looked at the mirror. What he saw must have disturbed him, because I saw a shadow of sadness pass over his face briefly (later he told me that he saw Frodo lying dead, or as if dead, under a cliff).
After Sam was done, Frodo came up and looked in the mirror. For a while he was quiet, but then he gave a loud gasp. The Ring he was wearing seemed to be a great weight all of a sudden, and it was pulling him forward, towards Galadriel's mirror.
"Do not touch the water," she said.
Right then, Frodo pulled back with a great effort, and the contact with the mirror was broken. Then it was my turn.
I went up to the mirror and looked in. What I saw was pretty surprising. In the mirror, I saw Hogwarts, and then the scene shifted to when I tripped and fell over the tree root, and then, in the mirror, I saw myself get up, brush the dirt away from my robes, and then join Natalie, Ron, and Hermione on the way to Hogsmeade. It was then I broke away from the mirror.
"I know what it is you saw," Galadriel said to Sam, Frodo, and I, "for it is also in my mind." And with that, she left, and Sam, Frodo, and I left also, too deep in thought to talk.
