Ron Weasley had a hard decision to make. He stared down, eyes narrowing as his hand hovered in the air. It seemed to last for hours, standing in that position, but eventually he made his choice…. of what he was going to eat for dinner.
"Liver pie," he mumbled to himself, satisfied with his choice over the steak. He put the liver pie in his grocery basket and headed to the check out aisle.
"What have I become…" He said as he suddenly stopped in the middle the dessert aisle, interrupting the flow of traffic. Ever since Hogwarts burnt to the ground in a fiery waste, leaving only a few survivors, he had to live a life of a muggle. Those freaking muggles and their boring lives.
As Ron's mini existential crisis ended, he abruptly started walking again, without looking where he was going. This caused him to accidentally bump into someone.
"Sorry," he frantically stuttered as his cheeks turned red from embarrassment.
"No worries," a tall, dark skinned man smiled.
Ron thought he recognized him, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Everyone else in the store around him seemed to recognize him though, as they were all gasping and taking photos from a distance like stalkers. This guy must have been famous.
"Do I know you?" Ron asked, mainly to himself.
The man just laughed as he heard his question. "I don't know, have you ever heard of Barack Obama?"
Ron thought for a moment, putting his hand on his chin in deep thought. After a minute he stated, "Nope, never heard of him."
Ron then started walking away, he didn't have time to converse with a stranger. After all, he had more important things to worry about, like not letting his liver pie rot.
Once upon a time, in the far away lands of Creative Writing Club... A normal muggle randomly chose the prompt out of a hat which said, "Ron Weasley Meets Obama." Thus, this creation was born in less than 25 minutes.
In all seriousness, this was the fun prompt I got from my school's club. I'm not a part of the Harry Potter fandom, I've only seen bits and pieces of the movies, but this is what my mind created from what little I knew. So don't be too harsh if Ron is completely out of character, because I wouldn't know. I just thought some of you might enjoy this short prompt, so I hope you enjoyed it! Have a great day!
