Author's Note: There are several tiny inside jokes… well, all right, there's one tiny inside joke and one huge inside joke. The tiny one is the whole Chicago-Philadelphia thing. I will not attempt to explain that. The huge one is basically the story itself. It's in Five-Minute Voyager format, which was created by the brilliant Zeke (http://www.3sygma.com/fiveminute). Kudos to him. This means that it's all dialogue. Deal with it.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Zero. Nada. I'm alone in the world, except for my Santa hat and my life-size anatomically correct replica of Tom Felton. I mean – uh – my computer. Right.

Owls: Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!
Dumbledore: Boo.
McGonagall: Now I must create interest by referring to you on a first-name basis. *ahem* Are the rumours true, Albus?
Dumbledore: Yes.
McGonagall: Okay. Where's the kid?
Dumbledore: Hagrid is bringing him.
McGonagall: Are you insane? Hagrid can't even count to ten on his own fingers. What makes you think he'll be able to take care of a little kid?
Dumbledore: He'll be fine, because "Hagrid" and "kid" rhyme.
Hagrid: Hi.
Dumbledore: Give the kid here, Hagrid.
McGonagall (muttering): What a bunch of idiots. I'm filing a legal complaint. Would you believe these people pay my salary?
Dumbledore: Now I'm going to leave him here with a family that abhors magic and hates the Potters.
Hagrid: Good idea, Professor! (looks awed) You sure are smart.
McGonagall: Yeah, yeah, just drop the kid off already.
Dumbledore: There. Now don't worry, he probably won't grow up to be a depressed, lonely, abused kid. His aunt and uncle might be nice to him, probably.
Harry: Wah. I'm a depressed, lonely, abused kid. I don't have the guts to call Social Services about my abusive aunt and uncle.
Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia & Dudley: Hi. We hate your guts.
Snake: Hiss! Hiss!
Harry: I know how you feel. Life as an adopted just isn't the all-fire holy thing people think it is.
Snake: Hiss! Hiss!
Harry: They did WHAT? Holy cow, Chicago beat Philadelphia in the semi-finals? Who are they playing next?
Dudley: WHOA! Chicago beat who? Outta my way, kid!
Harry: Grrr.
Glass: VANISH
Uncle Vernon: I have no proof whatsoever that you made the glass vanish! Therefore, it must be you!
Harry: Ah, of course. Muggle logic.
Uncle Vernon: We're being bombarded with letters. I find this terrifying enough to leave our house forever.
Harry: You're such a weakling.
Uncle Vernon: Bite me.
Hagrid: Hi! You didn't turn out to be a depressed, lonely, miserable kid, did you?
Harry: … um…
Hagrid: Who really cares. By the way, you're a wizard.
Harry: That's nice.
Hagrid: You'll be going to wizard school.
Harry: That's nice.
Hagrid: You'll have to pay for it.
Harry: Aw, come on, be reasonable!
Chris Columbus: This movie is bound to be a success, since "Hagrid" and "Harry" and "Hermione" and "Hogwarts" all start with "H". Wow, I'm on a roll!
Ron Weasley: Hi. I'm really poor.
Harry: I see. That would explain why your parents had 5 billion kids - to be even poorer.
Ron: Exactly.
Hermione Granger: Hello. You're both idiots.
Audience: GO HERMIONE!
Harry & Ron: Bite us.
Draco Malfoy: Hi. I'm really quite evil.
Harry: Go away from me now, please.
Sorting Hat: You've got a really, really, really, really screwed-up mind. Off to Gryffindor you go!
Harry & Ron: Lessons suck.
Hermione: You're both idiots.
Audience: GO HERMIONE!
Ron: Let's take this forbidden passage down to a trapdoor.
Harry: Okay.
Hermione: You're both idiots.
Audience: Go Hermione.
Harry: Why are you whispering?
Audience: We don't want to wake up the giant three-headed dog behind you.
Ron: The WHAT?!
Three-Headed Dog: GRRR…
Hermione: You're all idiots.
Madam Hooch: Now everybody, be sure that at least one of you makes a fatal mistake so I can bring them to the hospital, therefore freeing Harry to show off his Quidditch skills.
Neville Longbottom: WHOA! *thud* Ouch.
Madam Hooch: Okay, off to the hospital wing we go.
Draco: You suck, Potter.
Harry: Bite me.
Draco: Hmm… no. I think I'll give you an opportunity to show of your Quidditch skills instead.
Harry: Okay. *FWOOSH*
Draco: Oh look, he caught it.
McGonagall: For disobeying school rules, you get to be on the Quidditch team.
Oliver Wood: Hi.
Female members of audience: *THUMP*
Oliver: Now, these are the rules of Quidditch.
Female audience members: DROOL
Harry: Could you repeat that, please? I couldn't hear you over all the drooling.
Oliver: Sure - gives me another chance to use my accent.
Female audience members: DROOL
Harry: Through no fault of my own, I seem to have figured out what that three-headed dog is guarding.
Ron: Let's go get ourselves killed!
Hermione: You're both idiots.
Male audience members (while cleaning drool off themselves): GO HERMIONE!
Female audience members: DROOL… we want MORE OLIVER! Oh, and go Hermione!
Harry: I must sacrifice myself now. Good luck to you, Hermione.
Hermione: You're an idiot.
Ron: …wait… it's too dangerous… you might get bored! Here, take this pack of cards.
Harry: Thanks. I'm prepared for whatever might lie within now.
Hermione: You're both idiots. But I love you anyways.
Voldemort: MUHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Harry: You can't touch me, you know. Don't ask me how I know that.
Voldemort: Oh yeah? Oh YEAH?! Watch this! (touches Harry) Oh. I guess not. YEAAAGGH!! IT BURNS!! IT BURNS!! (melts)
Harry: Yay, I defeated the ultimate evil!
Hermione: You think Voldemort is the ultimate evil? Then you haven't tried Hagrid's soufflés.
Harry: … Hagrid?… soufflés?… EEK!!
