OMG GUYS, I'm so sorry I went without an update for like, what? 2 months? Eeeeek! I have my finals next week and I've been studying around the clock :(

Oh well, enjoy this short chapter I typed during a study break :)

A small pool of water rippled in the boys' bathroom.

"Glad it's all over. Man, that Celeborn is a total nightmare! Now we have extra work to do, as if we don't have enough already!" The door swung open and Merry flung himself onto the nearest sink.

"Relax, we can always go to The Green Dragon afterwards for a drink right?" Pippin absent-mindedly turned on the tap above Merry's head, sending a gush of cold water onto his hair.

"OI- Hey! Stop it!" Merry pulled his head back up, spluttering.

"Well, I thought you needed some refreshing."

Merry gave his companion a dirty look. That cheeky bastard.

"Where's Frodo going anyway?"

"To Elrond's. He needs to check up on that arm remember?"

"Oh, right..." Merry dried himself with a large wad of toiler paper. "Any ideas for a new prank?"

"Well..." Pippin tapped his chin thoughtfully. "We could steal Legolas' hand sanitizer, hairspray, shampoo, and all that... He's too tight on personal hygiene."

"Perfect, you know the combination to his locker, right?"

A ridiculously large pile of books were set upon one of the library tables. Only a pair of ballet flat slippers were to be seen from under the table.

This is Arwen Evenstar. Voted student president 3 times in a row, straight-A student, library assitant.

"Mr Bilbo? How many more boxes are coming this week?"

"Hmmm? Oh! There's probably about seven more on the way." Bilbo who has retired from teaching had decided to stay in the school to become the librarian.

Arwen checked another box on the list. She had permission to skip classes to help sort out the new books for a week.

Bilbo adjusted his wire-rimmed glasses and checked his watch.

"Goodness me! Is it time already? You better head back to your classes Arwen, there's still 2 more minutes before the bell. Off you go!"

Arwen slung her messenger bag over her shoulder, closed the door and left.
