Three literary terms sat in the common room playing cards around a table.

"Do you think Neville, Ron and Harry are going to have a three-way?" Complication inquired.
"I don't think the author's got enough nerve."
"You're probably right. Pity," Complication sighed. Plot nearly choked. "What? It's not like I'd want to join in. I just think it would be interesting."
"Right..."
"Harry and Seamus would be cute."
"H'mm," Plot replied, pretending to concentrate very hard on the game.
"Draco and Seamus too."
"Mm-h'm."
"Are you even listening to me?" Plot looked up and smiled.
"No, actually."
"Bastard," Complication muttered. Confusion giggled. "What about Harry and Draco? Do you think they'll get back together?"
"Definitely," Plot responded. Complication raised an eyebrow.
"What makes you so certain?"
"That's how these things work. Trust me."

"You know," Complication said, "what the best thing about this whole Plot-nonsense is?"
"No. Do tell," Plot muttered.
"I show up quite often." Plot snorted.
"You *would* like that wouldn't you?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"You keep adding so many damn twists; it's quite tiring," Plot sighed. Confusion mumbled something. "And you- you've got everyone quite lost!"
"Mhts my hgb erterfd," returned Confusion.
"What?"
"I'll translate: That's my job, retard," Complication replied.
"It's hard enough to keep Order here when she keeps running off-"
"You like her, don't you?" Complication asked.
"So what if I do? You like Depth!"
"I happen to like tinsel hair, thank you!"
"ngjdrtjioweuopdio," said Confusion.
"No. Pointlessness can't stand Depth. Incidentally, I think he's gay." Confusion's eyes went wide and Plot looked amused.
"What makes you say that?"
"He's unreasonably fond of Chaos."
"How so?"
"Please, wherever there's Chaos, Pointlessness isn't far behind."
"nicrhweuidnzxnmc."
"I guess it does seem the other way around," Complication admitted. He smiled, green eyes twinkling.
"Uh-oh. What is it?"
"Let's set the two of them up!"
"What?"
"C'mon!"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"Spoilsport," Complication pouted.
"Why don't we just play cards and leave matchmaking to Snape and that wacko author?"
"dhajsdhaiuehcndsjkfsebjksf," Confusion suggested. Plot looked to Complication for help.
"He said, 'Or we could go see if the Mysterious Workings of Life really can be condensed into an orderly sequence of events.'" Plot grinned evilly. Complication was surprised at this lack of protest, but soon he was grinning as well. Confusion clapped his hands and they set off to find the soon-to-be-pitied Mysterious Workings of Life .
