Hermione and Ron arrive to the corridore of the room of the requirement. Harry is supposed to meet with them there. Hermione starts reading the Lord of the Rings as they wait for Harry to arrive.
Ron: “Hermione, what are you reading now?”
Hermione: “I’m reading Lord of the Rings.”
Ron: “What’s that about?”
Hermione: “It’s about a hobbit who has to take the one Ring to Mount Doom and destroy it there. Frodo, the hobbit, goes on a journey to destroy the Ring with three other hobbits, two men, an elf, a dwarf and a wizard. And then…
Ron: Laughs. “That sounds SO unrealistic.”
Hermione: “Ron. You are a wizard, you study magic in an old castle and live an unrealistic life in muggles´ eyes.”
Ron: “Yeah. But this is reality.”
Hermione rolls her eyes. As she does so Pippin runs past Ron and Hermione who look at him baffled.
Hermione: “And there runs one of the main characters.”
Ron: “That's a bit odd.”
Hermione: “A bit...”
Gandalf appears from behind the corner.
Gandalf: “Have you seen that fool of a Took?”
Ron: “Who?”
Gandalf: “Fool of a Took. Pippin. Peregrin Took.”
Hermione is still really baffled: “He ran past us a few moments ago. If I may ask, why did you ask that?”
Gandalf: “I have to talk with him about dropping skeletons into wells.”
Hermione laughs nervously: “Again?”
Gandalf continues his way in the same direction as Pippin. Then Ron and Hermione start to hear a noise of goblins in full armor coming closer. Ron and Hermione decide to wait for Harry inside the room of requirement.
