Frodo Baggins: The Early Years
Chapter 5
Bilbo had personally witnessed Drogo and Primula leaving in their boat. So it was he who hours later noticed that they should have come back...a long time ago. The party was over, everyone was still in high spirits from the very fulfilling entertainment of that night. Bilbo had the feeling that something was not right. Bilbo made his way over to Rory Brandybuck, to tell him his suspicions "Rory, Drogo and Primula left on a boat hours ago, they haven't returned yet," the traces of panic evident in Rory's voice.
"Are you sure Bilbo?" asked Rory. The old Master of Buckland knew how dangerous the Brandywine could be, and to go boating in the middle of the night is not a smart thing to do. Especially because of the bad spots in the river that could easily tear up a boat. Rory wanted to think everything was going to be alright, until the last possible moment.
"Yes Rory, I saw then leave. But they went so fast, that by the time I got there they were already far downstream. I think a search is in order Rory," replied Bilbo. "Who knows what could have happened to them."
"Well I don't want to alarm the whole household. I think only a few should do the search party, we can go on ponies. Saradoc! Merimac!" Rory called for his two sons who rushed over immediately sensing the alarm in their father's voice. Rory started explaining immediately. "We think that Drogo and Primula might have had some trouble on the Brandywine, so I want the two of you to help me with a small search party. But be aware I don't want any word of these matters exiting this circle until we know the facts. Is that understood?" Saradoc and Merimac nodded.
The four hobbits quickly saddled some ponies and began at different points of the Brandywine and they would all meet up in the center. All four of them had a small horn, which they would sound if they found anything. Being hobbits, they had good vision and it was a clear night, so in all practicality they shouldn't have any problems.
Saradoc hoped beyond hope that the worst had not happened. He had always been fond of his Aunt Primula and Uncle Drogo. And what would happen to poor Frodo if the worst had actually happened. Nobody wanted to be an orphan, but an orphan at such a young age and living in Brandy Hall too. Poor child.
His pony plodded along and Saradoc was wishing that he would just catch up with their boat and Primula and Drogo would be just fine, laughing and having the time of their lives. Saradoc looked ahead at the raging currents when he spotted something ahead. No, it can't be he thought, seeing it..several pieces of wood and the rest was the small capsized boat. The tears started to fall...it had actually happened. Primula and Drogo had ceased to remain in the world of the living. Saradoc's hand was shaking as he brought his horn to his lips and sounded a great blast.
AN: Well that's kinda a useless chapter...except now the hobbits know that Drogo and Primula passed. In the next chapter is Frodo's reaction to the loss of his parents...and I think I'm going to cry writing it. Oh well. I have that chapter partway done, and I will have it completed by tonight sometime. So look in the near future for another chapter. Until then bye byes! And please review!
To my two reviewers:
French Pony: Thank you very much for your review and for your constructive criticism. I always love hearing ways of improving my writing and I tried to follow your advice to the best of my abilities. As for Rino, don't worry...he has a big part to play in this story.
Love ofthering: Thanks again for reviewing this, your words are really inspiring. The last chapter had me sobbing as well. I'm going to feel bad on the next on as well, since Frodo is going to find out.

SURVEY TIME: Have you ever gotten one of those annoying survey emails? What if the Harry Potter crew filled them out?
SURVEY TIME: LOTR Style: Basically the same survey, just with LOTR people filling it out.

Harry and Frodo's Big Switch (When Frodo Baggins and Harry Potter trade bodies what oh what will happen? And will they return?)
