This is my first Harry Potter Fanfic so criticism is welcomed. Flames are not.

Magic Eight Ball

Ron and Hermione were visiting the Muggle world. Ron was extremely uneasy, for he was very bored. Until of course; he spotted a sign. 'Magic Shop' it read.

"What rubbish," said Hermione, "There can't possibly be anything magic in there."

"I wanna see what the muggles perception of magic is." said Ron, "Do you think we should go in?"

"I don't want to." grumbled Hermione.

She wasn't very curious because she knew it was crap. Ron grabbed her hand.

"Please?" he smiled his puppy dog smile.

"Maybe it would be nice." she said, all willpower gone.

They walked into the shop. Ron immediately let go of Hermione's hand.

"Look at this!" Ron exclaimed.

"Ronald honestly, it's only a camera." she couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh." he aimed the camera at Hermione and pressed the button and water came spraying out of the lens at her. Ron laughed so hard he fell over. Seeing him laughing made her laugh. He set down the water camera and they walked over to a section labeled 'Magic Accessories'. The two went down the aisle and Ron picks up a wand. They burst into laughter at the sight of the ridiculous piece of black and white plastic. Hermione grabbed it, pointed to a black top hat and said, "Wingardium Leviosa".

They burst out laughing. Nothing happened which made them laugh harder. They set down the cheap novelties and looked around a bit. They turned the corner. Hermione picked a box up that read 'Magic 8 Ball'. She turned it around and read:

"The Magic Eight Ball: To use the ball, hold with the window facing down. After asking the ball a yes-or-no question, the magic die will think of the answer. When the die floats to the top and one of its faces is pressed against the window, read your answer. Do not shake or jostle the ball it will distort your answers."

"What rubbish." Hermione said.

Ron grabbed the box and took out the 8 ball.

"I want to try."

He flips the ball so it is facing down, "Is Hermione standing next to me?"

He flipped it over. The die floated to the top of the blue liquid and read 'As I see it, Yes'.

"Seems pretty accurate to me."

"Seems it's the first decent thing I've seen in the shop all day." Hermione said, "Let's ask something else."

"Alright, it's your turn."

Hermione took the ball,

"Am I taller than Ronald?"

Obviously she was not. She flips the ball and it read 'My sources say, No'. Ron had a thought.

"Let's see." Ron takes the ball, "Will Hermione marry me?"

She gasped. Ron kneels, turns the ball, and after the bubbles clear, it says ' My reply is No'.

"Maybe it isn't as accurate as we thought." Hermione said, laughing and crying a little.

Ron smiled and stood up. Hermione grabbed his hands.

"What do you say Mione?" he asked.

"My sources say yes."

Hope you liked it! Review please!
