Hedwig and the amazing Red Owls
By Jon White
Author's Note:
This is something I made up after a late night of cartoon watching… you see, I was watching an episode of Scooby Doo, and then my sister came in. "Look!" she cried as a white owl flew across on the screen, "It's Hedwig on crack!" I found this very funny and started my story…
And by the way.. Harry Potter and Co. do not belong to me, neither do Scooby or any of his ppl.
Harry Potter was sitting by the lake hoping no one was watching, he was waiting for Hedwig to return with his, uh, shipment. Soon he saw her flying over the water. She looked very funny and was flying faster than normal.
"oh no, " he said, "Somethings wrong."
Hedwig crash landed at his feet and he picked up the empty box she was carrying with her.
"Hedwig!" he cried, "What did you do with my shipment!"
Hedwig gave an odd hoot then tried to fly off, but crashed not five feet away.
"You didn't get into this stuff did you?"
Hedwig rolled over and went to sleep. Harry heard a shout behind him and saw Ron and Percy headed towards him carrying red outfits.
"Harry! Did the shipment come?" Percy asked, slipping on his costume, which was a giant red owl.
"I think Hedwig smoked it."
"Oh no," Ron cried, "That money was supposed to get us another year of school!"
Harry, Ron, and Percy took what little was left of the shipment and walked towards the water.
"We'll hide what's left in that cave we found." Harry said.
Ron and Percy were both dressed as giant red owls now and they took the shipment into the underwater cave. Just then Hagrid came out of his hut.
"Hey there Harry, got me package?"
"No Hagrid, I'm afraid Hedwig smoked it all."
"Dumb owl, shouldn't have got her, she looks like she was in rehab once. Guess this was too much for her."
"Yeah, she's passed out on the lawn."
"Better get her before Dumbledore sees."
Harry went to get Hedwig, but found her missing. Just then something swooped over his head, flying very fast.
It was Hedwig, flying so fast she looked like a Blast-Ended Skewrt. Harry watched as she flew around the lake on her high, then he noticed some people watching him.
He ran, and the others followed. He pulled on his own red owl costume and continued running. Then he stopped and started chasing his chasers. They ran. Finally he tripped over a log and found himself alone. He walked back towards the lake and saw that Hedwig was chasing them. They crashed into Harry.
"We've got him!" a man cried out.
"Now let's see who the real culprit is!" said a woman.
They pulled on Harry's mask and it came off.
"It's Harry Potter!" they all said, sounding shocked.
"Yes, it's me," Harry told them, and Dumbledore who was standing behind them with Percy and Ron.
"Why Harry?" asked another woman.
"Because Ron was poor and needed money. I thought this would be a good way to make some extra gold for him."
"But it didn't pay off, you were caught!" said another man.
"Well, if it hadn't been for you meddling muggles I wouldn't have been. So there!"
"Well, Harry, Ron, Percy, I am afraid I am going to have to give you all detention. With Lockhart!" said Dumbledore. "And as soon as we catch that crazy owl, she's out of here as well. Imagine! Letting an owl smoke!"
