Well, I got humiliated. Who's fault? The New Marauders, that's who's. In the middle of the Halloween Feast, the night of Jenna's birthday and the anniversary of my parents' tragic deaths, something horrible happened. The Marauders got, what they called, 'drunk on bread.' They literally ate ten dinner rolls each, stood up on top of the Gryffindor table, and started stumbling around, singing and quoting.
"Will the REAL Slim Shady please stand up?" Chelsea asked. When Malfoy stood up to leave, she began screaming German swear words at him and throwing dinner rolls at his head. "YOU'RE NOT THE REAL SLIM SHADY!" Jenna began singing 'Harry and Ginny Sitting in a Tree'. Scarlett and Lexi began arguing on ridiculous matters. A few topics were:
- Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
- What does the fox say?
- What noises do sloths make?
- Who is Slim Shady?
- Who is the craziest New Marauder?
- Is it actually possible to get drunk on bread?
I just sat there, utterly humiliated. It was I, after all, who convinced Dumbledore to let the New Marauders come to Hogwarts. The staff, however, looked highly amused. The whole staff table was full of talking and laughter. I just sighed in embarrassment, looking down. This would be a long Halloween.
This chapter is based on an event that I once experienced in the eighth grade. The cafeteria made too many dinner rolls and began selling them for a dime each. The girl who Chelsea is based off of went and bought ten dollars worth of rolls, and the four each got twenty five. They began feeling woozy, and the girl who Lexi is based off of began claiming that there was something wrong with the bread. The girl who Jenna is based off of declared that they were "drunk on bread," compelling the four to start acting like it was true. I'm not telling you who's based off of me, but yes, I participated. Harry represented everyone else in our class. Draco represented a boy in my class who actually got hit by multiple carb-filled projectiles. The friends actually did stand on the table, and the Lunch Ladies just didn't care. I actually heard one mutter "It's just those four." That made the feel GREAT about themselves. The girl who Scarlett is based off of led a few rounds of "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer", though it was early fall, and the four proceeded to slump in their seats and pretend they had hangovers. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and the fact that it sorta actually happened. Please read and review!
