Disclaimer- Too bad claiming to own it all wouldn't make it come true. In case you haven't figured it out, I don't own Disney, I don't own Harry Potter (or any of the characters), I don't own any of the rides (though I would LOVE to own the Haunted Mansion- I would put it in my backyard so I could ride it all the time). I don't own any of the script excerpts (those came from my disney ride CDs, friends who worked at Disney, and random online sites), I don't even own the shirt on my back (Ok, yes I do. But I have been known to borrow shirts from people from time-to-time.)

Hey BTW- Did yall notice that the Tower of Terror chapter was actually Chappie 13? TOT has 13 floors, 13th chapter, creepy or what! I just -noticed -- de-de-de-de... de ...de..de..de..(Twilight zone music plays in background).

Warning: Minerva is very into her Roller Coasters. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT try to stand in her way. No fluff, no lemons, just pure, milk-spilling-outa-your-nose fun.

It pays to Know-it-All

Once Minerva caught sight of the Rock-n- Roller Coaster they knew it was fruitless to make any attempts to dissuade her. Hermione wasn't sure she could take another wild ride after the Tower of Terror. Her knees still protested and shook under her weight. Ginny, Severus, and Albusquiteagreed that they weren't up for such excitement. Albus wanted an ice cream cone anyway, so this was the perfect opportunity to sit and enjoy one.

"Alright, if you all want to be chicken and miss out on the ride of a lifetime then be my guests." Huffed Minerva. "I'm going."

Draco, Ron and Harry were NOT going to be called chickens be their Transfiguration professor who was as old as time. So they went with her on the Rock-n-Roller coaster.

Ginny, Hermione, Albus and Severus could hear Minerva screaming "Bring it on baby" as the queued up.

They all froze and looked at each other in shock. Suddenly, Hermione doubled over laughing. She and Ginny had to hold each other up to keep from falling off the bench from laughter. Tears poured out of their eyes and they gasped for breath. Even Albus and Severus were laughing rather hard. Albus snorted into his ice cream come. Who would have thought, persnickety, prim, proper Minerva would scream "Bring it on baby," at the top of her lungs in public.

"This has gone a bit far, Albus." Said Severus trying to recover.

"I'll admit, I think Minerva may have an addiction to these roller coaster things." Agreed Albus.

"She's got it bad." Laughed Ginny.

"I wonder what the cure is for a thrill-addict..." Replied Hermione

"Roller-Coaster withdrawal is in her near future." Cried Ginny, immitating Professor Trelawney.

"Oh but she may be seen on the grounds building her own super coaster one night!" Whooped Hermione gasping for breath and trying to calm herself.

"She'll transfigure the Quidditch Pitch and everyone will be so mad!" added Ginny

"Yeah but no one should try to stand in the way of Minerva and her Roller Coasters." Laughed Severus. "That could prove very painful if not deadly."

Albus chuckled and sprinkled a few lemon drops on top of his ice cream.

"Indeed. Perhaps we will have to build her one to satisfy this intense craving." Said Albus with a twinkle in his eyes. "We could use it in Muggle Studies."

"You CAN'T be SERIOUS!" Said Severus.

"Might make a good Christmas present." Albus said to himself.

"The Lemon Drops have fried his brain." Said Severus incredulously. "We must get them away from him ."

Upon hearing this Albus stuffed the box in his pocket protectively, and said "If you ever lay one single finger on my beloved Lemon Drops, I will make you live to rue the day."

The others burst out in laughter again, thinking he was joking, but seeing his face, they became uncertain and decided not to risk it. That man LOVED his lemon drops and he was the most POWERFUL wizard of their time. Everyone has addictions, so what if his was Lemon Drops... Minerva's was apparently Roller coasters!

Minerva returned from her joy ride, nearly carrying Ron and Draco. "This wimps couldn't take it." She said. "They blamed it on riding it after the Tower of Terror."

She pushed them down onto a bench in the shade. Harry flopped down next to them. "I think it would have been fun," he said as Minerva went to buy some drinks. "We just hadn't regained our stomachs from that last attraction."

Ron was positively green. "Weasel barely managed to keep his breakfast in his stomach." Added Draco. "and that bloody mad woman wanted to go again."

Minerva returned with some soft drinks and popcorn. After recuperating, they made their way to something called MuppetVision 3-D. Muppets, they learned courtesy of Hermione, were not real people. They were just puppets. As they entered the building they were once again given 3D glasses. This time they all knew exactly what to do with them and looked a bit smug, as though they knew a special secret or accomplished a great task. Hermione didn't want to point out that small muggle children knew what the glasses were used for and many owned their own, obtained from cereal boxes or movie stores.

The Muppet movie was even more bizarre than the other 3D movie they watched. During this one they were shot with a gush of air and squirted with water. Bubbles even blew around them a few times during the show.

"Wicked!" Shouted Ron, laughing, as he was sprayed with water.

Next, the group headed to the Backlot Tour. They boarded a red tram and learned how movies create scenes using water tanks and pyrotechnics. It was quite exciting to see how a movie was filmed. None of the wizards really thought much about HOW a movie made it to the screen. After all, movies were a new experience for them.

They decided their next adventure would be something called Who Wants to be a Millionaire -- Play It! The audience were given questions and boxes to key their answers.

"Aw, rats." mumbled Ron, "I didn't know there would be a test."

Hermione apparently did quite well as she was selected out of the entire studio audience to be in the "hot seat"!

They were all so impressed and excited. There was little doubt in Harry and Ron's minds that she would do well. They didn't know that she watched the game on the tele during her summer months at home, so she knew exactly the type of questions they asked. She almost always knew all of the answers when she played at home.

"It's alright, you can do this." She mumbled, reassuring herself. "It's just like playing at home. Ignore the audience. You can do this."

The host asked her all sorts of questions, from Disney related questions to what they called "general knowledge". Their "General knowledge" turned out to be bizarre "who-the-heck-knows-this-stuff" type trivia. Well, she wasn't called the "Know-it-All" for nothing! She didn't even have to use any help lines! She knew the answers immediately and shocked the socks off of the emcee. Each time she answered correctly, the tension rose and the audience held their breaths. They cheered and screamed each time she got the answer. Hermione knew it all, usually answering the question the moment the choices were revealed. She wound up winning 15 special Disney pins, a hat, a shirt, a jacket, and a trip for four people for three nights on a Disney Cruise Line, that even included airfare!

"Oh no," sighed Ron, "another plane ride!"

"How do you know she'll even take us," Asked Harry.

"Yeah," said Draco, "Don't count your snakes before they hatch."

"Chickens." Said Harry.

"Who are you calling a chicken, Scar head?" Asked Draco.

"You said snake, the saying is... Oh never mind." Said Harry looking defeated.

After the show, Hermione emerged from the stage excited and blushing. She carried a large bag of prizes and had a grin from ear-to-ear.

"See." She told the boys. "Sometimes it pays to be a know-it-all. Literally."

Albus chuckled and Minerva grabbed Hermione into a big bear hug. "You made so me proud!" She said, tearing up at her Gryffindor. "You will succeed no matter what you do."

"And if she fails," said Harry, "She could always make a living by playing game shows!"

"Ha. Ha." Retorted Hermione.
