Hogwarts Play: Mirror of Galadriel

[David <dfrankiswork@netscape.net>]

Dear HPFGU members,

I attach another short report from the rehearsals of the Hogwarts 
Christmas play, The Lord of the Rings.  I asked Ms Skeeter to tell 
me the identity of the cast members, but she seemed in the grip of a 
superstitious fear that something bad would happen to her if she did.

Ever yours

Scene: Lothlorien, at night.  Enter Galadriel and Frodo, and Sam.

Galadriel: Empty your mind, my dear, as you gaze into the Basin.  
Tell me, what do you see?
Frodo: Er, I see, er, Gandalf
Galadriel: Is he looking very mangled? As if he'd come off worse in 
a fight with a Balrog?
Frodo: No, he's walking along a road... he's gone now... oh! It's 
gone all black!  Oh, and now - oh no, it's looking for me!

Enter Merry and Pippin.

Galadriel: I know what it is you saw.  Alas, it is seeking all the 
time, drawing nearer and-
Merry: Oh for goodness' sake! Not that ridiculous Eye again!  
Honestly, it's quite preposterous!  As if an eye could ever hope to 
put on a ring!  How can he just be an eye?
Pippin: cough*Akallabeth*cough
Exit Merry, followed by Pippin

Galadriel: Alas, I knew that one of your number would fail the 
test.  I fear your quest is doomed.
