Authors note:
I'd like to dedicate this story to Alsia, Lily and Charlene and all the other wonderful people from our 'common room'... you're names were in here first. =)
Apart from that, I wrote this story straight after a Discworld book, which probably explains the style a little... ::grins:: Ok, now I've finished ranting and you can go on to the story ::snores in the background::
Please review!
A new day
The common room was quiet.
Actually it wasn't. Quietness is only the absense of sound. The sound was here alright. It lurked behind a corner, with a similar expression a robber has while waiting for the gullible watchman with a crowbar.
And, like the watchman, it doesn't have to wait for long.
See the yellow room, sparkling golden in the sunlight.
See the ornamental badger stick their head out of the wooden frame and twitch it's nose.
See...
'Guys! For pity's sake, we're late already!' Fred yelled, leaping down the stairs.
'Coming, coming,' George ghasped, tripping after him.
'Wait for me!' Lee wheezed, colliding into George who had stopped to catch his breath.
'Oh no...' Fred groaned helping George and Lee up and dragging them out of the common room.
Silence retreated, with a bit of a grin.
And the common room was empty once more.
Not so the dungeons.
'Two spoons! I said: "TWO SPOONS!" Snape yelled above the commotion, and a few desk away from where Harry, Ron and Hermione were hiding.
'Yeah, but you never said what kind of spoons, did you?' Hermione muttered. A few drops of exploding potion flew over her head an stuck to the wall, where they turned into Hamster with the ability to fly around and bite people. The situation would have been funny, preferably from a safe distance and a glass plane between it and you.
'This is really, really stupid.' Ron murmured, trying to swatt a hamster which was buzzing around his head.
'Perhaps if we make it to the door we could buzily buzz away and get someone,' Harry grinned.
'We wouldn't make it to the door,' said Hermione, pointing to a group of Slytherins who had been cornered by hundreds of angry hamsters. 'They're vicouse.'
'Buzz,' Harry said again, uncase somebody hadn't got it. Hermione and Ron glared at him.
At that moment, tha hamster Ron had tried to swatt turned into a drop of green potion and fell to the floor. At once there were angry yells to be heard from the Slytherin corner, and above all Snape's voice was heard again: 'Quick, scoop it up and bring it to me at once!'
The three Gryffindors sighed, more out of theatrical effect than anything else and went to work.
A new day had begun.
