The next day~~~~
"Weasley!" Ron, and Harry turned around as Professor McGonagall walked up to them in the Entrance Hall. "Here's your rat back."
"Scabbers! Thank you Professor."
"You're quite welcome Mr. Weasley. Now get to breakfast." She walked away into the Great Hall, which had been transformed back into a dining hall.
Harry and Ron walked into the Great Hall and sat at the Gryffindor table with Hermione, Fred and George. The mail had already come, and Hermione was reading the Daily Prophet. She looked up when they sat down. "Hey, the play is in the Newspaper."
"Ooh!" Ron exclaimed, and snatched the paper away.
"Hey!"
Ron ignored her as Harry leaned over to read.
"Hogwarts students put on an excellent spoof of a famous Muggle movie last night, the movie called Monty Python and the Holy Grail, was changed to Harry Python and the Holy Stone." Harry read out loud. "In the Lead Role of King Arthur, was, of course, Harry Potter." Harry sighed, and continued. "They don't even mention any of the Knights, or anyone else. Just me."
"Well, you are Harry Potter." Hermione pointed out. Harry shot her a scathing glance. Meanwhile,
"Mr. Potter aside, the play was stolen by the Weasley twins, Fred and George." Ron read. "Single-handedly, they changed the entire movie to make the play funnier, if that's at all possible, changing the names of all the characters to the actors names. They also added several scenes onto the end of the play, using skits from other Monty Python movies, 'And now for something different', and 'The Meaning of Life'. By far the funniest part was the huge row between all the Weasley boys, all 6 of them, between the scenes. It is impossible to know if Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, and Ron planned the scene, but it was the high point of the play." Ron started to laugh loudly at that, earning a look from the teachers at the head table.
"Your fight was the high point of the play?" Hermione asked snobbishly. Ron didn't stop laughing, and Harry had to join him. Hermione shook her head at them, and went back to her scrambled eggs.
"What else does it say?" Harry asked, after they stopped laughing.
"Ummm..." Ron said, scanning the article. "It mentions something about Snape in it, and Filch chained in the dungeon in the Camelot Song. Other than that, that's about it."
"Cool." Harry said.
"So, you want to keep the article?" Ron asked.
Harry shook his head. "Not with that thing about me in the start. You keep it. You're mentioned in it."
Ron grinned and folded it up. "Cool. Thanks."
Just then, Malfoy came in, and the whole Slytherin table starts laughing at him. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw join in too.
"That's new." Harry observed. "What happened?"
Fred leaned over from across the table and a few seats down. "Oh, I might have mentioned to some of the people who can't keep secrets that..." He paused for effect, a grin splitting his features, "Malfoy fights like a girl."
"Hey!" Hermione cried indignantly, Harry, Ron, George, and Fred burst out in laughter.
That night~~~~
The Gryffindor Common Room was still partying, but Harry was all partied out. As he got into his pajamas and got ready for bed, he thought about the play. He thought it went very well, and hoped there would be more of them in the future. He got into bed, and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was asleep and dreaming of 'riding' through the countryside accompanied by his Knights and Draco walking behind him, banging coconuts together.
The End~~~~
