Day five

Morning

That morning, the Housemates were all sat in the front room after being woken up by the demonic laughter alarm clock half an hour ago.

"I wonder if I'll get my new bed today" Ron wonder with a far away look on his face "I hope they make this one fire prove so no certain housemate can set fire to it again." He glared at Draco who just simply flipped him off and went back to the newspaper he was reading.

"This is Big brother, today all housemates will be taking part in a fancy dress task. For the course of today, all housemates must wear a costume for the whole day until eleven pm tonight. Housemates who refuse to take part in today's task will be punished."

"Oh great" Draco groaned "I hate the big brother tasks."

"You will take part in this task Draco Malfoy or you will feel the vengence of Big Brother" the voice over woman replied. Draco groaned in protest and flopped back on the sofa.

"Now, you will be called one by one to the diary room to retrieve your costume for the day. First up is Harry potter." Harry got up from the red bean bag he was sitting on and walked to the diary room.

"How come Potter get's to go first" Draco complained "I wanted to be first."

"I thought you didn't want to take part in today's task" Ginny replied "you said so yourself."

"Well I've changed my mind ok" Draco replied sarcasticly.

"Why, scared you'll get punished again?" Charlotte taunted. Draco glared at her and told her to shut up. Charlotte simply shrugged and picked up Big Brother monthly magazine. A few minutes later, Harry emerged from the Diary room, wearing a spongebob squarepants costume.

"Harry potter is a sponge?" Draco asked in shock then grinning "oh my god, Harry potter is a sponge." Harry simply ignored him and sat back down on the bean bag.

"The next housemate to retrieve their costume for the day is Ron weasley."

"Well here goes nothing" Ron declared putting on a brave face and walking confindently to the diary room. All the other housemates just gave him weird glances. When Ron walked back into the front room, he was wearing a peanut costume.

"Don't anybody laugh" Ron warned everybody "it's just a peanut."

"yeah" George chuckled "a peanut brother of ours." Ron grumbled under his breath and collasped on one of the chairs in shame.

"Will Hermione granger come to the Diary room to retrieve her costume for the day" the voice over woman announced. Hermione stood up and walked in a snobbish manner to the diary room.

"I hope she has a costume worth laughing about" Draco said.

"Why?" Ginny asked.

"Then I can make fun of her alld ay long, muhahahaha" Draco delcared evily.

"Patience my son" Lucius said, patting Draco on the shoulder "soon you will be making fun of that mudblood, no matter what costume she is wearing." Draco grinned evily at the Hermione came out the Diary room, she was wearing a hotdog costume. Draco pointed at Hermione and said "Ha ha" like Nelson Muntz from the simpsons. Hermione just simply rolled her eyes and sat down at the breakfast table. The person after Hermione to collect their costume for the day from the Diary room was Ginny weasley.

"What's the whole point of dressing up in stupid costumes anyway?" Snape asked.

"I think it's for entertainment purposes" Harry replied.

"Silence potter" Snape declared "do not answer me back boy."

"I wasn't" Harry protested "I was just say------"

"I said silence" Snape interupted. Ginny emerged a few minutes later, wearing a bunny rabbit costume.

"Oh look at this, it's the easter bunny" Draco taunted "come to shower me with really expensive easter eggs, oh wait I forgot, you're a poor easter bunny so you can't afford to buy really expensive easter eggs, that is a shame."

"You shouldn't be so mean" Charlotte warned "how would you like it if someone made fun of you."

"Well no one makes fun of me little girl" Draco replied "I am the great Draco malfoy and no one dares to make fun of me." Charlotte shook her head and walked off.

"It is now Albus Dumbledore's turn to retrieve his costume for the day" the woman announced. Dumbledore stood up and proudly strode to the Diary room.

"Wow" Harry pointed out "I bet Dumbledore is loving this."

"I'm glad somebody is" Ron replied miserbly "I'm begining to feel ridiculas in this peanut costume."

"Ha ha" said Draco again. Dumbledore was wearing a father christmas outfit when he walked back into the sitting area.

"Oh my word" Draco said sarcasticly "ho ho ho." Dumbledore simply ignored Draco's catty remark and said down next to Charlottte.

"I think it suits you" the young girl piped up "especially with the beard."

"Thankyou very much young one" Dumbledore replied "I am also quite fond of this costume myself." Snape was the next person to go to the Diary room to retrieve his costume and he clearly wasn't too happy.

"I hope I don't get a stupid outfit" he grumbled. Lucius was scratching his bottom in a frustrated manner.

"Jesus, my ass has been itching all morning" he said angrily. Charlotte tried her best not to laugh, remembering that she had put itching powder in his underpants whilst Lucius, Draco and Voldemort scratched away. Snape emerged from the Diary room dressed as a waffle and he was in much more of a bad mood than he was before.

"No one talk to me for the love of god" he yelled "this costume is nothing to laugh about. My bum is itching like mad and I cannot scratch it because of this stupid waffle outfit."

"Join the club" Voldemort replied "I also have an itchy anus."

"So do I" replied Draco

"And me" added Lucius.

"It must be these underpants, they must be made of some cheap material that causes bum rash and constant itching" Snape pointed out. Charlotte slapped her hand over her mouth to prevent her from giggling. McGonogal was the next to collect a costume so she went into the Diary room.

"Oh for god sakes" Lucius yelled as he scratched his bottom again "I wish my ass would stop itching like this." Close up on Charlotte on that presise moment, trying not to laugh.

"I wonder what McGonogal will be wearing today?" Ron asked.

"Beats me" Harry replied "we'll find out when she comes back in." When she came back in, she was wearing a queen Victoria outfit.

"Your highness" said Draco with a bow.

"yes thankyou Draco" McGonogal replied. Here was what costumes the rest of the housmemates retrieved from the Diary room to wear for the whole day.

Rubeus Hagrid got a pineapple costume.

Lord Voldemort got a potatoe costume and that made scratching his itchy bottom impossble.

Lucius Malfoy got a Patrick the starfish from spongebob sqaurepants costume.

"This has got to be the worst costume I have ever worn in my entire life" he said angrily.

Draco malfoy got a hamburger costume and that made it impossible to scratch his itching bottom that was possibly covered with itching powder by now.

Fred and george weasley both got giraffe costumes.

Dolores umbridge got a sausage costume and she wasn't amused.

Argus filch got a french maid costume and that made him the most unhappiest man in the house.

"This is an insult" he growled.

Mrs norris got nothing because Big brother didn't have any costumes suitable for a cat.

Vernon dursley got a pig costume and Harry pointed out that it suited him very well.

"I will kill you boy" Vernon raged in anger. Charlotte was the last to retrieve a costume from the diary room and hers was a cat costume.

"Well, I guess this will have to do" she said simply. Later that morning, Ron's new bed arrived and he went into the Diary room to thank Big brother for sending him a new bed.

"You are very welcome Ron" said the woman voice in the Diary room "I bet you are looking forward to sleeping in it tonight."

"You bet I am" Ron admitted "but just one thing, is the bed fire prove?"

"Yes Ron, the bed is fire prove, you may now leave the Diary room." Ron got up and walked out of the Diary room to see his beloved new bed.

Afternoon

Still in their fancy dress outfits, the housemates were sat around, waiting for Voldemort and Filch to finish making the dinner .

"Oh I am a happy peanut, a happy happy peanut" Ron sang "I live in a peanut house with my dear peanut wife and my happy peanut children, oh, I am a happy happy peanut."

"What was the point of that?" Draco asked.

"I was bored" Ron replied "I'm ammusing myself."

"Making an ass of yourself more like" Draco muttered sarcasticly. Suddenly, there came a big commotion from the kitchen and the housemates all ran to the kitchen to see what was going on.

"You idiot" Filch yelled, chasing Voldemort with a broom "I told you to watch the pork chops."

"What's going on?" Charlotte asked.

"That idiot over there" Filch replied angrilly "has burnt the porkchops. He was supposed to be keeping an eye on them but he had to go and muck around with the mop."

"Hey hey" Voldemort protested "That mop is very shiny, I couldn't resist." Filch growled, threw his hands in the air and walked out of the kitchen.

"Never mind" Said Dumbledore "let's stick some noodles in the oven instead."

Evening

It was just after eleven pm and the housemates had changed out of their costumes and into their pyjamamas.

"Ahh , what a day" Sighed Hermione "I am all tired out now."

"I love my new bed" said Ron as he sprawled out on his new bed, kissing it.

"Oh my god, why don't you and that bed get a room" Draco pointed out sarcasticly. Ron flipped him off .

"I wonder what will happen tomorrow?" Ginny wondered.

"I don't know" Charlotte replied "but I am enjoying myself here."

"So Charlotte, how are you coming on with your novel?" Harry asked.

"I'll read what I've got so far if you like" Charlotte replied "Ahem. Once there was a little girl called Charlie who learned that she was going to live in a big house with some other people for a few months. So she packed her suitcase, got on a train to go and live in this big house. When she got there, Charlie was very scared but the other people who were staying in the house were very nice to her and assured her that she would have a great time in the big house. Little did Charlie know that all these other people were wizards and that they could do magic. That's all I got so far."

"I think that's a good begining" Hermione pointed out "I reckon you'll get good grades on that in school."

"Thankyou" Charlotte replied, feeling proud of herself.

Coming up in Chapter Eight, Charlotte comes down with a twenty four hour bug, Voldemort and Draco plot to take over the house, plus Hermione shows her true feelings for Ron, that's all to come in the next chapter folks.
