Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter books, blah blah...
(A/N just one thing.... in this fic, Harry, and later Hermione (and maybe even more later on) are out of character. This is intentional. I am a twisted person that way, and making them out of character fits my story. Please don't hate me.. :)
Ch. 1
Harry Potter walked onto the stage that had been set up in the Leaky Cauldron. He looked around, smiled, took out his wand and put it to his throat, and muttered something that sounded like "blunderbuss". He smiled again, stepped up to the middle of the audience, and said, his voice magically magnified (A/N- try saying that 10 times as fast as you can),
"Ladies and Gentlemen, honored witches and wizards, welcome to the Leaky Cauldron's 1st annual auction!" thunderous applause. "For those of you who don't know me-" a few laughs. "I'm Harry Potter, and I'll be your host for tonight. All the funds for this auction go to a great cause- saving Bernie Botts, the maker of your favorite every flavored beans, from bankruptcy. We all know about that unfortunate incident with the asparagus-flavored bean and our Minister of Magic, but luckily Bernie has been able to save enough money that didn't go into the court proceedings that he'll give a free bag of beans to everyone here tonight!" more applause. "And finally, let me remind you that this auction is for a date with your chosen one, nothing more and nothing less." his eyes passed over to a group of goblins who were looking very excited. "All right, and now... the contestants!
Ron Weasley- this wizard loves a good time, and enjoys a good laugh, not to mention anything but corned beef!
Severus Snape- this Hogwarts Potions professor loves a romantic evening by a softly bubbling, fuming cauldron, not that he wouldn't say no to a bit of red wine!
Hermione Granger- this clever witch loves a moonlit stroll along a beach, and reading by the fire (as long as it wasn't made by house-elves).
Draco Malfoy- this wizard likes painful torture devices- haha, just kidding after all, and spending time with a loved one.
Fleur Delacour- this French witch is doing this for the cause, as she wanted me to say, but probably wouldn't say no to a nice dinner of bouillabaisse as well!
Minerva McGonagall- this Hogwarts Transfiguration witch "loves Bernie's beans", haha, and "doesn't want to see them going anywhere!"
Millicent Bulstrode- this beautiful witch just wants a "night out on the town" with her prince charming.
And your last contestant will be yours truly! So, haha, save the best for last, ladies!
Everyone ready? Lets get started! Bring out... Ronald Weasley!
A/N- tell me what you think! I'll be posting ch. 2 sometime this weekend... it gets better, I promise! That's right; just press the little button at the bottom of your screen...
