This is one of those experimental drabbles, in which I experiment with the characters, the plot, and the scene shown. I've kind of been out of writing for the past week, so hopefully, this'll help bring some sparks back into my writing. Let's see how it goes. :) Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the Beast from "Beauty and the Beast" also make their appearances in this drabble.

It was midday at Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. One could admit Diagon Alley in the Wizardry World was a busy place around the school year. But one could not have foreseen the number of people arriving at the parlor, especially one particular hobbit, who hadn't expected too much for the day…
"Butterscotch, please," Frodo Baggins asked, passing to the wizard some Galleons.
"Rough day," Fortescue asked.
"If only," Frodo said.
"Hey!" said a squeamish fangirl. "It's Frodo Baggins."
"I should run now," Frodo said, just as he was grabbed by a… a beast.
"Sit down," Beast said, forcing the hobbit to a chair. "Rough day."
"Well, now it is," Frodo said, drinking his soda and coughing. "What's in that?"
"Rum!" the pirate captain Jack Sparrow said. "I may have put in a little kick of vinegar."
"Vinegar!" Frodo cried. "No wonder it tastes awful."
"What's it to you how it tastes?" Jack asked, beside himself.
"Well, this day couldn't be more interesting," Frodo said.
"Oh look, I found a penny," Hermione Granger said, picking up the copper coin.
"I rest my case." Frodo said, grateful to have his ice cream. Only it was too cold. Could this day get any worse? Well, next to the goose and those quarters and the funny man wearing a top hat… yes, he resided to leaving the parlor. How could this have turned out to be such a bad day? Honestly, this was one day he hadn't planned out thoroughly. He just hoped that tomorrow was better than this day. Yes indeed.
