Watching Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase I decided that I'd write this chapter that a reader has requested, hope you all like it, not sure how I feel about it now it's finished. Would appreciate your opinions on this guys
"Scooby dooby doo where are you we've got some work to do now, Scooby dooby doo we need some help from u now. Come on Scooby doo I see you pretending you've got a sliver you're not foolin' me 'cause I can see the way u shake and shiver. You know we got a mystery to solve so Scooby doo get ready for your act; don't hold back. 'Cause Scooby doo when you come through you're gonna have yourself a Scooby snack, that's a fact. Scooby dooby doo here are you you're ready and you're willin' if we can count on you Scooby doo I know we'll catch that villain." Hermione snuggled into the sofa in the head's Commonroom a television and a DVD player had been installed.
Zabini had no idea what it was and walked out of the room uninterested saying something along the lines of Malfoy and visiting. Hermione on the other hand was excited for the television to be installed she was now able to watch the programs she loved at home. She had decided that she would watch a cartoon, looking at the collection of DVDs her mother had owled over she had picked out Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase, she had put the disk into the DVD player and had settled down to watch it. She had seen the film so many times she was able to repeat every word. She had become so engrossed in the film she never heard the door open, it was only when she had a feeling that someone was stood behind her that she turned around.
Hermione laughed, the look on Blaise and Draco's face was hilarious their mouths were hung open, their eyes were bulged wide and they were looking at the televison with fear, they took a step back when they saw the trees burning from the volcano.
"Granger," Draco shakily said his eyes still fixed on to the television.
"Yes," she asked calming herself.
"What are you watching?"
"Scooby Doo and would you like to watch it with me?" she bit her lip trying to hold back the laughter.
"Why does it look funny?" Blaise finally said walking closer to the sofa his eyes never leaving the screen. Draco followed behind carefully sitting on the left hand side.
"Scooby Doo is an animation, Scooby is that dog you can see there," she pointed to the screen where Scooby was carrying the firewood. "An animation is a drawing that has been placed on a computer which I'll explain at a later date. It is given colour and a voice. The voice comes from normal people like me who just speak through a microphone and then the voice is linked to the cartoon."
"Okay so if the dogs called Scooby Doo, who are the humans?" Blaise asked a little more relaxed.
"The scrawny man in a green top is called Shaggy he's Scooby's best friend the other male with the blond hair is Fred he's like the unnamed leader. Finally you've the two girls the one in purple is Daphne and the one in orange is Velma, Daphne is the rich pretty one and Velma is the nerdy one."
"So, like you then?" Draco said chuckling as Hermione scowled at him.
"Hermione is that supposed to be a dinosaur?" Blaise asked pointing to the T-rex that the phantom virus was riding.
"Yes it's a T-rex that's what they were supposed to look like." Hermione smiled surprised that Blaise had remembered her explanation of a dinosaur from a few weeks ago.
"Anyway what's the point of this Scooby Doo then?"
"Scooby Doo is an entertainment programme for children about a dog and his friends who go around and solve mysterious. It was first created in 1969 and since then has been very popular with children and adults." Draco nodded turning back to the screen.
Nobody spoke for the next 15 minutes as they watched the gang meet with the other gang in the final level of the game. It was only when they saw the creatures appear that Blaise looked at Hermione.
"You know those creatures are they from separate films that you can watch?"
"Scooby Doo started out as a TV show. Scooby and the Gang would solve the mysteries surrounding those five characters and so many more. If you're really that interested in it Zabini I'm sure I can find the TV shows for you to watch." Blaise nodded and turned back to the show.
"Granger why are some of them in different clothes if they're supposed to be the same person?"
"Well one half of them have been zapped into cyber space which is where they are now, while the other half are from cyber space. Scooby with the green collar is the real one, Shaggy with the green top is also the real one where as the other two are from the game itself, Daphne and Fred's clothes from the game is what they used to wear in the TV shows but they've changed them in this film."
"What other films are there with Scooby Doo in?"
"Well there is Scooby Doo and the Ghoul school, Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders, Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf, Scooby Doo on Zombie Island and so many more I've got them all I'll be happy to lend you them when I get them off my mother," Hermione told Blaise she could tell he was quickly becoming interested in the programme. "Not only are there animated films but films where actual people play the roles of Shaggy, Daphne, Fred and Velma. Everyone has a favourite character mine is Velma probably because she's the really smart one. As a child I wanted to be just like Velma."
"Smart and short? Yeah I think you've got that sorted," Draco chuckled dodging the hand that Hermione tried to hit him with.
"Will you two give up I'm trying to watch what's happening," Blaise said scowling at them.
Draco and Hermione looked at one another eyebrows raised but amused, if Hermione was told to guess which one of the two Slytherins would enjoy Scooby Doo the most then she would have said Blaise.
"What type of dog is Scooby Doo?" Draco asked her.
"A Great Dane, the biggest dog and before you ask Malfoy no Great Dane's cannot talk it's just a programme."
"Okay are there any more animated programmes other than Scooby Doo?"
"Of course there is, there are so many types of animated programmes through so many different years. One of the biggest distributers of animation is a company called Disney."
"Have you any Disney films?" Blaise asked.
"Of course we can watch one after Scooby Doo," the two boys nodded and turned towards the television.
XXX
In his office Dumbledore watched the two Slytherins and the Gryffindor sit together no insults being thrown to one another. He smiled he knew placing the television in the Head's Commonroom was a good idea even though Professor McGonagall and Snape disagreed, what did those two know anyway he thought as he popped another lemon drop into his mouth. Those three were going to become more than friends before they knew it, he would make sure of that.
I'll get around to doing a chapter on when Hermione explained what a Dinosaur is, hope you all enjoyed it haha.
