Harry Potter and The Droopy Joke Book
- Jokes to the Jugular -
Harry was strolling down the halls of Hogwarts when Colin suddenly popped out of nowhere.
"Guess what Harry?" he piped.
Harry, used to Colin appearing without warning, rolled his eyes. "What?"
Colin held up a droopy, old book titled One hundred and One Jokes for Wizards, "I just found this in the library! There's some of the funniest joke you ever heard in here. I gotta tell you some."
Harry eyed the surrounding area, searching for exits. Seeing none, he sighed "All right. Only a few though. I'm suppose to meet Ron and Hermonie in the common room."
Colin squeaked with delight. "Ok, here goes," the little boy flipped through the book. Halfway through he stopped and grinned at Harry, "What has four legs, a tail, and barks?"
"Err, a dog?" replied Harry.
Colin snickered. "No! A cat in a dog suit!" Laughing hysterically he continued. "Okay, okay, next one."
Harry moaned.
Oblivious to the pain his audience was in, Colin found another joke. "Here's one Harry. There were two guys sitting in a room. One was on the floor and one was on a couch. The guy on the floor said to the guy on the couch, "You couch potato!" The thing was, he wasn't a potato!"
Colin doubled over in another uncontrollable round of laughter. Then recovering slightly, searched through the ragged book once more.
Harry groaned, "Uh, Colin, I think I should be go…"
Colin interrupted him, "In just a moment, one more joke." Harry nodded giving into Colin's absurdity. "Ok here it is. What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?"
"What?"
"Frostbite!" Colin started chuckling and snorting with glee.
Seizing the moment Harry hurried hastily past Colin who was on the floor with laughter. Harry called back over his shoulder. "Uh, thanks for the jokes Colin. They were…really funny."
Colin waved back "Anytime Harry!" and went to his next class laughing down the hallway.
