"Ron, how do you think you did on the test?"
"Gosh, that was the easiest test ever! The only thing I had to write was my name."
"Wait, WHAT?! You didn't answer any of the questions?"
"Hermione, calm down. There WERE no questions for me to answer."
"Ron, Ron, Ron. There were 54 questions on that pop quiz. Don't tell me that there were no questions on it when there definitely were many questions."
"No, Hermione, there weren't. All that appeared on my test were a bunch of lines."
"THOSE WERE THE QUESTIONS! Ron, how could you be so stupid?"
"I'm not being stupid! I'm telling you, there were only lines on my paper."
"Yes, Ron, I know that there were lines on your paper. AND EACH OF THEM REPRESENTED A QUESTION!"
"HERMIONE! There was the word Name: on the top, followed by a line, which was followed by another line, which was followed by even more lines, which was followed by yet another line, which was followed by a couple more lines after that, and a few more lines after that, and finally, it ended with another ten lines on top of the rest.
"Since there were so many lines following the Name:, I decided to write my name over and over and over, until Professor Lockhart called time. I only got to write 'Ron Weasley' 683 times. It only covered most of the front side of the parchment."
"Ron, did it occur to you that, maybe there were a reason for all of those lines? Like, maybe for ANSWERING QUESTIONS?! Did it occur to you to look in between the lines to READ the questions?! Did it—"
"Um, Hermione, my test didn't come with questions on it, either. Though, it was numbered 1-54, but there were no questions written next to those numbers. However, mine didn't even come with a Name:" Harry put in.
Hermione spluttered, and then stormed away with a huff.
"Bloody mental, she is," announced Ron.
-ololo-
Later that day, Harry approached Professor Lockhart's office. *Knock, knock, knock* "Professor?"
"Yes? Come in."
Harry opened the door, only to be surprised to see Lockhart sitting at a desk surrounded by massive piles of letters. "Um, Professor Lockhart sir, can I see a copy of the pop quiz that you gave us today during class?"
"Of course, Mister Potter, of course. Over here, now." Lockhart pulled out a drawer, showing a stack of blank test papers. "Here you are! One copy of the pop quiz."
Harry pulled up one of the quizzes, to find on exactly like Ron described. A Name: followed by a bunch of lines. "Um, Professor? Where are the questions on this?"
"Why, Mister Potter! I thought it was simple. All you have to do is squint and read in between the lines."
"I tried that, Professor, but nothing is there!"
"Then perhaps next time you could use a magnifying glass. Good night, Mister Potter."
"Good night, Professor." And with that, Harry left.
