Hermione and Mentos

Disclaimer: I don't awn yadda, yadda, yadda……

Hermione is in the Hogwart's library to research poltergeists. She sees one of the required books that everybody is after sitting and that there is only one copy left. She races to grab it but Milicent Bulstrode shoves her to the ground, grabs the book and sneers at her before taking out the book.

The other Slytherins are laughing and pointing at Hermione, who is now fuming inside like a volcano about to erupt. Hermione gathers up her books and stalks away with as much dignity as she can while ignoring their mocking laughter. On her way to the restricted section, she hears a rattling and walks towards it. Hermione sees a big cupboard padlocked and chained and remembers that there are three boggarts in it. She whips out a tube of Mentos from her bag and pops one into her mouth, smiling.

She walks over to Milicent and her fellow Slytherines, who are standing in line to take out the book, taps her on the shoulder and beckons her to follow. Milicent and the other Slytherins give each other annoyed looks before following her. When they found Hermione, she is smiling with an elbow leaning on the cupboard. She whips out her wand and simply says, "Alohomora" and the padlock undoes itself. The chains fall and the boggarts come out in the forms of a giant anaconda, the Bogey Man* and Slimer*. Milicent and the Slytherins had terrified looks on their faces as they screamed shrilly and ran out of the library, leaving the much sought after book behind.

Hermione lazily said "Ridikulus" as the boggarts turns to Harry, Ron and Neville in grass skirts, coconuts and leis before shoving them back into the cupboard, putting the padlock back, picking up the book and walking out of the library. Nobody found out who did it because Hermione had put Milicent and her gang under a forgetting spell.

Holding up the tube of Mentos, Hermione flashes us a brilliant smile.
