Disclaimer: Okay you all know the routine, I don't own Lord of The Rings, and therefore I don't own any of its characters. Also, to answer a question that someone asked in the reviews… Freda is not in Tolkien's books, she is in Peter Jackson's movies based on Lord of The Rings. Oh yeah, I don't own her character either. Sadly. I like her, she is so cute! LOL. Well read this and R&R. I won't write more chapters unless I get reviews because it makes me feel so special! LoL. Well, I hope you guys like this one.

Chapter 5 The hobbits are off to school

Gandalf drove down the winding dirt road lined with green grass in his wooden cart.  Hobbit children stopped playing their game of catching a bright red ball to run after the cart in hopes that some sort of treat was there. But the children were disappointed. Gandalf, who usually came with loads of fireworks and prizes, had nothing but a single brown woolen bag, which contained dear Gandalf's possessions.

"I am only here on business today." He said with a wink. The children frowned and went back to there game. Gandalf, however, continued down the road, humming a tune about Earendil, the mariner. Then up ahead Gandalf noticed his destination, a hobbit hole, one which was the best gardened, and had a yellow door with a knob in the center. Gandalf stopped the cart in front of the house and walked up the walk to the door where he knocked.

"Coming, coming!" a voice said from behind the door. A few moments later, the door opened and there stood---

"Bilbo, my dear friend!" said Gandalf to the hobbit at the door.

"Gandalf! How wonderful to see you! What brings you to this part of Middle-Earth?" he asked his usual cheerful self.

"Business, Bilbo. Is Frodo here?" asked Gandalf.

"Yes, he is. Now come in, come in." Bilbo said ushering the very tall wizard into his home.

"I will just go fetch Frodo. Have a seat in the parlor, we will be with you shortly friend." Bilbo said. Then eh turned and walked down one of the many tunnels. Gandalf went into the room to his right and sat down on the big fluffy green sofa and waited.

"Gandalf? What a pleasure this is!" Gandalf turned to see who had spoken though he had already guessed. Frodo was standing in the door.

"Well hello Frodo! How do you do?" asked Gandalf.

"I am fine." Said Frodo taking a seat with Bilbo.

"Bilbo said you wished to speak with me." Frodo said.

"Yes, yes. I actually wish to speak with both of you. There is a school being started for all the good races of Middle-Earth, Elves, Men, Dwarves… and Hobbits as well. I have come to ask Frodo if you would like to come to this school." He then went on to explain how the school would work.

"Also, besides you Frodo, I would like it if a few other hobbits would come. I have already picked them. Merriadoc Brandybuck, Samwise Gamgee, Fredrick Bolger, and Peregrin Took." Gandalf finished.

"Well they are all my friends! That would be wonderful if we all went." Frodo said.

"So you'll go?" Gandalf asked.

"Yes, and I am sure the others will go as well. May I go tell them the news?" Frodo asked.

"Yes. But tell them that if they plan on going, to pack right a way. We leave at first light tomorrow." Gandalf said.

"Why so early?" Bilbo asked.

"Because we are farthest away from the school. We must hurry and get there before the school year starts." Gandalf said.

Where is the school?" asked Frodo.

"I am afraid I cannot tell you that. Now hurry along." Gandalf said and Frodo then left.

"And Bilbo." Gandalf said looking at his friend fondly. "I would like you as well to come to the school."

"What? Me? A student? Gandalf you should know me better than that! I am no ones pupil." Bilbo said.

"I don't mean for you to be a student. I mean for you to be a teacher." Gandalf said."A teacher of Language Arts. You're a very good writer and know all the rules to it, you would be perfect!" Gandalf said.

"You think? Yes well……I suppose I will go. I think I am up for another adventure!" Bilbo said.

"well good. Because that school wont be complete with out you." Gandalf said.

Later on that night Frodo came back with news that they would all be going, except Mister Bolger.

"He just isn't ready to leave the Shire. Even for a chance like this." Frodo told Gandalf.

"Its alright. Everyone in his own time. Will the others be ready?" Gandalf questioned Frodo.

"Yes." Frodo said. Then Gandalf told him how Bilbo would be teaching at the school as well. Frodo was delighted. He has been reluctant to leave Bilbo, but now he wouldn't have to.

That night they all slept peacefully and in the morning woke refreshed. They then traveled for many days until they reached the secret location of the school. And what they found there was quite a surprise.

Hahahahaha! Bet you didn't see that one coming! BILBO IS A LANGUAGE ARTS TEACHER! I needed a position to have him fill ad I thought that would be the best. I know I know not the best chapter but I needed to explain the hobbits part and how they get there and stuff. So yeah. R&R PLEASE!! Make poor me happy! Love you all! *mwah*
