Chapter 3
They all got into the elevator (It was a muggle restaurant) and went to terrace. It was tall building. Everything seemed to be normal, they all were dressed up, they were going to have the dinner and then get on with their regular routine.
Suddenly…
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
"What the hell?" Ginny said.
"What happened?" Luna asked.
"I think the lift is jammed," Neville said.
"What? That has never happened before," Hermione said.
"Press the emergency button," Harry said.
Ron pressed the emergency button but nothing happened.
"Well, press it again!"
Nothing….
"Oh come on!" Ron said while pressing the button. He pressed it again and again and again and again...nothing happened...
"Now what are we gonna do?" Ginny said.
"It's so hot in here," Neville said loosening his tie.
"I know" Luna said.
"Oh my god, this wasn't supposed to happen," Harry said.
"Well, why are looking at me like that? Keep pressing the button!" Hermione scolded Ron. He kept pressing the button…..
30 MINTUES LATER….
They all were sitting on the floor of the lift.
All the men were sitting there with their coats off and ties loosened flapping the sleeve of their coats for some wind.
All the women were too sitting on the floor with their clutches in the hands flapping them for some wind.
"It is so bloody hot!" Ron exclaimed.
"YOU THINK!" all the people shouted.
"Oh my god! When will we get out?" Luna asked.
"I'm burning like hell over here" Neville said.
"This is turning into the worst 1st September ever" Luna said.
"Ron," Hermione asked.
"Hmm"
"Press the emergency one more time. Please?"
He did so…
Suddenly the lift began to move…
"OH THANK GOD!" Luna said.
"FINALLY!" Harry exclaimed.
When they reached terrace they asked the waiter for their reversed table.
"I'm sorry. Sir but there is no reservation for you,"
"What?" Ginny asked.
"It is way past your reservation time. You didn't show up so we gave the table to the other party in waiting."
"What? Are you FREAKING KIDDING ME?" Luna shouted.
"Miss please, keep your voice down," the waiter said.
"No no no, we won't" Ginny said.
"Hey look, they only reason we couldn't get here on time because you bloody elevator was jammed and we were stuck in there for 30 minutes. I demand a table right now." Ron said firmly.
"Sir we apologise for our elevator's inconvenience, but we can't do anything about that"
"Okay, just give the next table, is any other table free?" Harry asked.
"Sorry sir but there is no other table free,"
"What? You're kidding right?" Ginny asked.
"I'm sorry miss but no table is free right now the next table will be free in no less than 5 hours," the waiter said.
"What? We get stuck inside an elevator for half hour and then we miss our reservation?" Hermione said.
"Hey you've got to do something about that elevator thing. We were stuck in there for 30 minutes. You've got to do something about that," Neville said.
"Well there's another branch of our restaurant in Cornwall. We can get you a reservation there."
"Cornwall!? That's a four hour ride! The restaurant will be close by then!" Neville said.
"We can get you reservation there or here after 5 hours"
"You know let's just go I know another restaurant where we can get reservation and where the elevator is WORKING!" Luna said, shouting the word 'working'.
"All right but this place better be good. I'm starving over here." Neville said.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Ron said "Where are you going Herms?"
"I believe that I'm going downstairs Ronald," She replied.
"By that?" He said pointing towards this the elevator.
"Yeah" she said.
"I'm not going back in that goddamn thing." He said.
"Well then let's go by the stairs" Ginny said.
"We are on the 20th floor of this building" Ron said.
Suddenly Luna started to laugh. Everybody turned to look at her. And she kept laughing.
"I don't see, how our horrible conditions are somehow amusing to her," Harry said.
Hermione smiled and asked her, "What's so funny Luns?"
"Well, I just remembered that we all are witches and wizards above the age of 17 and still we didn't perform magic when no muggle was around when we were stuck inside the elevator for 30 minutes. I mean. We acted like a bunch of stupid muggles." She said while laughing. "And now, we are discussing that how we should down by elevator or stairs when we just apperate out of here!"
Everybody looked gave each other silly grins.
"Okay! I'm gonna pretend that's not true" Hermione, smiling.
And then they apperated out of there.
