25 YEARS LATER
The three ladies were sitting at a table at MacDonalds…why would three grown women socialize at a fast food restaurant of evil? Because their kids wanted to play at the thingie that kids play on…what's it called?
Huma frowns, "You suck at narrating."
A little girl who resembles her mother squeals, "Mommy said sucks!!"
The mother panics, "No no, I meant duck, yeah that's what I meant."
Rucha and Kim laugh whole-heartedly at her. Huma rolls her eyes, "What like you haven't accidentally used an offensive word?"
They watch as their children go on the slide and play in the ball pit. Those things are fun.
"Anyways, how's it going?" Rucha says.
"You know how it is, kids always want to go shopping and always whine about something." Kim shrugged.
"Yeah, now I see what our parents went through." Huma nodded. "Were we really that evil?"
"I know I wasn't but I don't think I can say the same for you Huma." Rucha smirks.
"What the he….heck is that supposed to mean?" she exclaims.
"What're kids into these days? The Nintendo Wii 3000." Kim asked.
Huma nods, "Yeah they sure have gone pretty far with technology."
"You know what I don't get," Rucha started, "how come global warming didn't kill us yet?"
Huma shrugged, " I guess things were better after they made the cars that run on corn."
"I like corn." Kim said.
"Yeah so do I." Rucha added.
"Remember back in the day when we actually used to read as kids?" Huma asked smiling.
"Yeah….we were losers." Kim laughs.
"Ha! Remember our Harry Potter phase!" Rucha recalls.
The three women laugh as they remember their crazy obsessive phase.
"Yeah, that's old news now." Rucha said.
The three women sit in silence until they cant control themselves anymore.
"Oh my god did you see the new HP collectibles!" Huma bursts out.
"Yeah! And they made HP theme parks in almost every country." Rucha said.
"I went to at least four of them …with my kids of course." Kim said.
"Yeah grown women going to a theme park meant for kids is kinda weird…" Rucha said.
"True….so who went on the 'Knight Bus' ride?" Huma said.
"I did!" Kim and Rucha say together.
"I had to practically ground my children and force them to read the books for an excuse to go." Huma laughed.
The other two exchange looks. "OMG so did we!"
They laughed hysterically.
"So I guess HP was never phase…" Rucha said.
"No way! HP still rox!" Kim yelled.
Huma got up excitedly, "That's right! The Harry Potter legend will live on!" she screamed and stopped to see everyone looking at her. "…hello…"
Her daughter came up to her and tugged at her shirt. "Mommy can we leave now."
Huma looks down disappointed. "But we just got here!"
"Yeah but your embarrassing me."
Huma gasped, "Well back in my day I wouldn't have said to my parents….okay I would've, lets go."
"Same time next week?" Rucha asked.
"You bet bitch." Huma laughed.
"MOMMY used a BAD word!!!"
"No! I didn't, I said itch! I had an itch!" Huma tried to cover it up.
Her daughter gave her an all knowing look. "Whoa…" Huma said, "you really are my daughter, you even have my glare. Just don't tell daddy what I said."
So the three women still shared the love for Harry Potter….will it never end? I mean seriously it was just a book.
Rucha frowned, "Huma was right this narrator does 'duck'."
Kim nodded, "Yo! Can we get a burger over here!"

So that was a boring and weird one shot…but I was just thinking what would happen 25 years later? Exactly that, but maybe not MacDonalds.
So yes I was Huma. Kim is Mrs. Charlie-Weasley-that's-me. Rucha is RuchieSmooch.
