I began to laugh. I don’t know what possessed me to start; perhaps it was a reflex action, in any case, what had begun would not stop. It started with a high pitched shriek of laughter that soon descended into cackles and wheezes that would frighten even the most hardcore Gryffindor. Soon the tall, funny, unbelievably gorgeous co-worker across the room was looking at me like I had grown house-elf ears.
