Interview with Mr. Weasley
Celebrin: "Hi! Today, Mr. Weasley is our guest."
Arthur: "Hello."
Celebrin: "What is it like to be Minister of Magic?"
Arthur: "It was very different at first. But I do not plan to stay the Minister for long, just until we have everything worked out. Is that a felly tone?"
Celebrin: "A what?"
Arthur points to something.
Celebrin: "Oh! It's called a telephone, Mr. Weasley."
Arthur *excitedly*: "Really? I always get the names mixed up. Does it have a plug, or does it work on batteries?"
Celebrin: "Plug. You plug it into the wall, and then you can call people with it. It's kind of like how you wizards talk through the fire, only it's not as shocking to the person you're talking to."
Arthur: "Really? May I try it?"
Celebrin: "Um, Mr. Weasley, I don't think that would be a good-"
Arthur picks up the phone, and starts pressing random buttons.
Celebrin: "No! Mr. Weasley! Please put the phone down-"
Somewhere in China a phone is ringing. Someone picks it up.
Arthur *shouting*: "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"
Celebrin *face buried in hands*: "Oh no, mom's going to kill me! However will I explain a call to China?"
Arthur *puts the phone back on the hook*: "I couldn't understand what they were saying."
Celebrin *muttering while scribbling franticly on a piece of paper*: "Okay, a phone call to China from here in the US for two minutes, plus the rate of long distance times ten roughly equals. Eep! I can't count that high! *slumps over in chair* I'm doomed."
Arthur *takes out a pocket watch*: "Oh dear, look at the time! I'm late for a meeting. Goodbye! We will have to do this again sometime! *he disappears with a soft pop*"
Celebrin: "But wait! How am I going to tell my parents about this! Well, this can't get any worse, can it?"
The doorbell rings.
Celebrin *gets up to answer it*: "Hello?"
Man from the phone company: "Hello. I have come to disconnect your phone, due to the random calls to China."
Celebrin: "Ahhhhhhh!!!!"

A/N: Sorry this is short, but right after this I'm posting another one, so I don't think you'll mind. I saw Harry Potter on Saturday. I loved it! Man, Lucius Malfoy was wonderful! The actor was brilliant as Lucius! Did anyone else think "Haldir" from the pictures though, or was it just me? Review if you have the time!
Thank yous are all in the next chapter, because I'm posting these together.
