One lost Hobbit student

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo was still trying to get used to the idea that the castle was now a school for wizards. Or magic folk as he liked to think of it. He was dressed in his Gryffindor robes, the lion emblazoned on the front of his blazer. Was he Gryffindor material though? He liked to think he was brave, yet he wasn't all that confident with things.

Turning a corner, he realised that he was indeed, lost. He was trying to get to the Library, yet he had come up against another dead end. Why did this school have to be so HUGE? He sighed and held out his wand in front of him. Maybe he could get the wand to do a spell that would aid him? He really had no idea about this.]

You are lost, Bilbo Baggins. Admit it. You have no idea where you are going... [He was hoping that he'd bump into someone else, perhaps a student and ask for directions to the Library.]

[How about a friendly castle ghost? Danny walks through the wall just in time to hear that.

And where's that?

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo span around when he heard the voice. Oh. A ghost? He nearly jumps out of his skin, as he gazes upon the ghostly figure.]

Oh, um...I am looking for the um...the Library. That's it. Yes.

[schrodingersghost]

No prob! I'll show you how to get there.

[unexpected_adventures]

You will? Well, thank you. I must admit, I've never been inside a school before, not like this one. Are you a....ghost? [He had to ask.]

[schrodingersghost]

That's me! Danny Phantom, resident castle ghost.

[unexpected_adventures]

Danny Phantom? [Ok...]

Well, nice to meet you, Danny. I'm Bilbo Baggins, a Gryffindor. Well, only recently, as I have no idea what being a Gryffindor means.

[schrodingersghost]

It means you're all brave and stuff.

[unexpected_adventures]

Brave? Me? Perhaps the hat got it wrong. Yet, I did do a few brave things in my past. [Saving the dwarf king from being beheaded by an Orc?]

[schrodingersghost]

Hey, don't sweat it. The hat never gets things wrong. Maybe it saw that you're going to do something brave.

[unexpected_adventures]

It doesn't? Perhaps I will, I don't know. [He was unsure about the whole situation to be honest.]

[schrodingersghost]

Like I said, don't worry about it. You'll figure it out.

[Castle Ghost x2... the not so helpful version.]

Hey man you need some directions?

[unexpected_adventures]

[Another ghost? Bilbo was already freaked out as it was.]

Oh, um, hello. Yes, I do actually, now that you are asking me. I am trying to get to the Library.

[originalcopy]

[What can he say, this place has a busy history. There are lot of ghosts hanging around.]

The Library huh... let's see what is the fastest most direct way to the Library.

[He floats thoughtfully and then grins.]

You want to go through that wall and up three floors.

[unexpected_adventures]

Go through that wall? [He will now be staring and frowning.] If you haven't noticed I'm not exactly dead. I'm alive and well, not a ghost!

[originalcopy]

[Have a smirk]

Oh well, your loss. The only other way is the grand staircase.

[He pointed helpfully in the direction.]

[unexpected_adventures]

The Grand Staircase? I suppose I'll have to take that route then, as I can't pass through walls. [He looked where the ghost was pointing.] Ah. Thank you.

[originalcopy]

Have fun. [Church chuckles and fades from view. He's going to follow along invisibly because it's always fun watching students navigate the grand staircase.]

[unexpected_adventures]

[Bilbo just frowned at the ghost, as he saw him flying through the wall. Ok, now to find the library.]

[Chihiro eventually passed by, trying to figure out her way herself, when she catches sight of Bilbo.

Well hey there fellow Gryffindor have a also short 6th year prefect calling out to you]

Are you alright...? Do you need help with anything?

[unexpected_adventures]

[Someone who isn't a ghost, at last. The whole ghost thing was starting to scare the poor Hobbit.]

I'm rather lost actually. I am trying to reach the Library but I've been along this corridor at least twice now.

[xss]

[oh but the ghosts are so nice! :<]

Oh! I'm trying to get to the library too. We could go together? I sort of know my way around...

[unexpected_adventures]

Alright then. I am not opposed to company, as I cannot get any further lost than I already am. [True words, Bilbo.] I'm Bilbo Baggins of Bag End. Who might you be?

[xss]

I'm Chihiro Fujisaki, a [she pauses for a moment, still getting used to saying this part] sixth year prefect. It's nice to meet you!

[unexpected_adventures]

Nice to meet you, Chihiro Fuj- Fujisaki. [He wasn't very good at pronouncing people's names.] I'm Bilbo Baggins. A sixth year? Oh, I see. Well, I'm just in my first year and have no idea where I am going.

[xss]

Hehe... If it helps I'm not even sure most older students even know where they're going. I know I'm still getting used to it...

But that's why we're around to help out! Or at least try to...

[unexpected_adventures]

They don't? Oh. [That didn't inspire much confidence in the hobbit.] Well, it's nice you want to help. Thank you.

[nerwen]

[And, as he turns the corner he happens to run smack into a young Ravenclaw wandering the halls- the problem is that she's looking more at the hand-drawn map in her hands than where she's going.]

Oh, I beg your pardon!

[unexpected_adventures]

Oh. Sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going.... [He brushed down his school robes, which were far too big for him anyhow. They weren't made for hobbits.]

What is that map you have in your hand there? [Bilbo liked maps.]

[nerwen]

It is only something to help me find the library. [Bilbo's voice is familiar, though, and she pauses a moment to look him over.] Master Baggins?

[unexpected_adventures]

Oh. Have we met before, as I don't recognise your face. Has Frodo spoken about me?

[nerwen]

We have not yet met in person and if we had, I think you would not recognize me as I now am. [A little rueful smile] I am the Lady Galadriel.

[unexpected_adventures]

Pardon? [Bilbo was awestruck. How could this young girl be the Lady Galadriel? She was much older and taller.]

I have already met the Lady Galadriel here, she is different from you. I'm rather confused.

[nerwen]

[Sigh] The castle is wont to change our forms from time to time. You see me now as I was in my childhood.

[unexpected_adventures]

So, you are Lady Galadriel but....younger? [He swallowed. This was all rather odd. He still bowed anyway.] Then forgive my confusion, my lady.

[nerwen]

Precisely so, and I assure, there is nothing to forgive. You could not have known.
