That's Not Funny
My brow furrowed and sweat. Hands shaking, knuckles white against the splintered wood of my broken wand. I was in McGonagall's class, every eye on me as I was instructed to turn Scabbers into a teacup. I suggested to McGonagall that he made a better rat only to be scoffed at and threatened. Now, I was scowling in anger and concentration as my wand sparked dangerously in different shades of red, very like my face. Scabbers squeaked, terrified, he tried to scurry away.
"Ron!" Harry stopped him barely, catching him by his tail, I felt the tension in the classroom ease. Harry's eyes flicked from Scabbers to me, the corner of his mouth curling up. He pretended to fumble the rat as he made a second bid for freedom. Scabbers jumped from the desk, darting through the front rows, sending several girls into the air shreiking, while the boys dove under their chairs trying to catch him.
Scabbers nails slid across the floor as he weaved, parchment and quills were tossed everywhere. A few chairs tipped over and crashed loudly echoing in the cavernous classroom. Harry started laughing and a chorus answered him. I felt immediately grateful, and began to laugh too. McGonagall didn't however find it as funny, just when Scabbers rounded the last obstacle before the open classroom door, he turned into a teacup. In a lovely flowered pattern, I noticed, before our looming Transfiguration professor demanded all of my attention. "Well, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley thank you for this clumsy attempt at humour," She gestured widely to the wreckage around us, "but that's not funny."
A/N : OMG THAT WAS SO FRIKKIN HARD, to quote my choice of difficulty. Ron is really out of my comfort zone, not to mention humor in general; so this story has no substance and is very short. However I did spend quite a bit of time thinking about different plot lines and characters, but this was the only one I could complete. This is the first piece of writing I've ever "published".
