Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth...

"We learned from Beorn that the orcs have recently gathered in Dorgon, so we are preparing to go there to find out," Gandalf explained.

Upon hearing Gandalf's words, Darrigus looked shaken and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Don't go!"

"I sensed an incredibly powerful dark force enveloping me there, one that even terrified me. Now, that force has spread throughout the Great Green Forest, attracting countless dark creatures and making the area even more dangerous!"

"Then we must go!" Gandalf said firmly. "Darkness has returned, and we must know its true nature so that the people of Middle-earth may be awakened and guarded against its return."

"Besides, I wasn't unprepared; I have helpers, don't I?"

"You and Duir? No, no, no, this is too dangerous!" Darrigast shook his head frantically. "You have no idea how terrifying that dark force is. Even if the two of you joined forces, you wouldn't stand a chance!"

"Of course, it's not just us," Gandalf said with a chuckle. "We're here to ask for your help."

"Me? No, no, no, Gandalf, you know me. I'm terrible at fighting. And it's not that I'm trying to boost their morale or diminish our own; even if the three of us teamed up, we might not be able to get out of there safely!"

Darrigus shook his head, his face full of disapproval.

"Knowing it's a trap and still walking into it is not a wise thing to do, Gandalf."

"Don't be so quick to refuse, my old friend," Gandalf advised. "In fact, Duir shares your view, so we're preparing to find more allies to conquer Dorgus together."

"Allies? Who else are our allies?" Darrigast asked, puzzled.

Gandalf looked at Dui.

Dui nodded and got up to walk toward the fireplace.

"Darigast, may I borrow your fireplace for a moment?"

"Could I borrow the fireplace?" Darrigus asked, even more puzzled, but nodded nonetheless. "Please, go ahead."

With Gandalf’s enigmatic smile, Darrigus watched as Duir waved his wand and chanted incantations over the fireplace.

"Alright," Dui put away his wand, pulled out a glass bottle filled with glitter powder, and said with a smile to the two, "Time is of the essence, we should get going!"

Gandalf was the first to stand up, grabbing a handful of Floo Powder from the bottle. He then walked to the fireplace and threw it into the fire, instantly turning the flames green.

"Rivendell!"

Gandalf stepped into the green flames and shouted.

The next second, the green flames engulfed Gandalf, taking him away in an instant.

Darrigast stared wide-eyed at the scene, then quickly ran over, searched thoroughly, and turned to look at Dui.

"Where is Gandalf? Where did he go?"

"Didn't you hear that, Rivendell?" Dui replied with a smile, then handed the bottle to him.

"Grab a handful."

"Remember to clearly state the location name when you throw it at your feet, otherwise it might easily be teleported to another fireplace."

Darrigus grabbed a handful of Floo Powder, looking at the glittering powder in his hand with great surprise.

If Dui hadn't stopped them in time, they would have wanted to put it in their mouths and taste it.

Finally, under Dui's guidance, he took the Floo Powder to the fireplace, threw it at his feet, and called out Rivendell's name.

Watching Darrigast disappear into the flames, Dui followed him into the fireplace and threw in a handful of Floo Powder.

"Rivendell!"

In a dizzying moment, during the teleportation, Dui even caught a glimpse of the fireplace window of the Beon family's house, and could vaguely see Beon's tall figure in the living room.

Before he could finish his thought, his feet touched solid ground once again.

"Ptooey... Cleaned up!" Dui spat out the ash in his mouth and immediately cast a cleansing spell on himself.

The Floo Powder's teleportation is very stable and convenient; the only drawback is that it always leaves you covered in dust and dirt.

Gandalf, Darrigus, and Elrond were already waiting outside the fireplace.

"Duir, clean me and Darrigaster up too," Gandalf said with a chuckle. "To appear before Lord Elrond looking so disheveled is truly rude!"

Upon hearing this, Duy waved his wand and cleaned up him and the somewhat excited Darrigan.

Then he nodded to Elrond, who had a smile on his face.

"Lord Elrond, it's been a long time."

"Welcome back to the Valley, Wizard Duir." Elrond possessed an elegant and noble air, his smile gentle. "Time flies. It feels like only yesterday that you left, and now we meet again. What a delightful surprise."

"I've heard from Gandalf that you came from Mirkwood, a thousand miles apart, yet you arrived in an instant. Wizard Duir, your magic is truly astounding!"

"Lord Elrond is too kind!"

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone got down to business.

Gandalf explained his purpose to Elrond and told him about the current situation in Dorgus.

Darrigus also provided further evidence.

Upon hearing the information provided by Gandalf and Darrigast, Elrond's expression also became serious and solemn.

Unlike Saruman, he was not stubborn and prejudiced against Gandalf, so he believed Gandalf's words and immediately accepted the invitation to go to Dorcourt together.

However, before setting off, he hesitated and asked, "This matter is of great importance. Should we send a message to Lady Galadriel and Saruman?"

Especially since Saruman is the leader of the White Way Society, if this isn't explained, it might make Saruman unhappy.

Gandalf pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Of course we need to send them a message."

"But the journey is long, and Saruman doesn't have Floo Powder to teleport like us. It's normal that he only received the letter when we arrived in Doldurdu, right?" Gandalf said with a deliberate smile and an innocent tone.

Elrond had no choice but to acquiesce upon hearing this.

He knew that Saruman and Gandalf were at odds, and that Saruman had rejected the request to visit Dorgus at the last meeting of the White Path. Neither he nor Galadriel could oppose Saruman's decision, but they actually preferred Gandalf's viewpoint.

Not to mention that as the owner of the Three Rings of the Elves, he naturally had an even closer relationship with Galadriel and Gandalf.

Dui also made the following suggestions:

"Lord Elrond, not only are there a large number of Orcs gathered in Dorgul, but there are also Ringwraiths lurking there, and their master may even be hiding there."

Just in case, could we invite more people, such as Lord Glorfindel who lives in the Valley, in case the enemy possesses greater power?

"I can't make the decision for Glorfindel; we need to ask his opinion on this."

Elrond did not immediately agree.

Glorfindel, as an elf reborn and sent to Middle-earth by the Valar, held a special position, and even Elrond, the Lord of the Valley, respected him greatly.

To everyone's delight, Glorfindel finally accepted the invitation and decided to travel together to Dorgon to destroy the darkness.

Glorfindel's addition gave everyone even more confidence in the mission.

Once everyone had arrived, Dui began distributing Floo Powder to everyone and explaining how to use it.

"Darigast's Cottage!"

With rising green flames and sounds.

One by one, the group disappeared from the fireplace and were teleported to Darrigast's cabin in the dark forest.
