Hermione: I'm sorry, I didn't catch your names. You are….?

Colleen: Oops. I'm Colleen, and this is Amanda, my partner in crime—

Amanda: ~elbow~

Colleen: Figuratively speaking, of course.

Hermione: ~looks suspicious~ Ah. And you're witches?

Colleen: Well, obviously!

Amanda: And they consider you the clever one? Tsk, tsk….

Ron: ~snickers~ They seem to know you all right, Hermione!

Hermione: ~glare~

Harry: Well, we've got to meet up with Mrs. Weasley and finish our shopping….and check out that commotion at the Leaky Cauldron. We'll probably see you at school. Bye now!

Ron: See you later!

Hermione: ~suspicious glare~

All three: ~scurry away~

Amanda: Hmm….did you notice that Hermione seems a tad bit….suspicious of us, Col?

Colleen: Indeed. I think we may have to do something about her….she can't be allowed to interfere with our plan!

Amanda: We have a plan?

Colleen: Well, no….just force of habit. We usually have evil plans, like kidnapping.

Amanda: True enough. But kidnapping Harry Potter with Dumbledore around could lead to expulsion….not to mention be quite painful….

Colleen: True, true. We'll have to wait until we graduate to try that.

Amanda: Mwhahahaha!

Colleen: ha.

Amanda: ~glare~ ha.

Colleen: ~silence~

Amanda: Hurrah! I got the last "ha", I got the last "ha"….Woo-hoo!

John: Jeremiah says that Hogwarts is from those Harry Potter books.

Ken: Amanda and I watched those movies! That school is in….England?

Patti: ~sigh~ Well, looks like we're going to have to go on another trip….

Carol: I'll call the airline. I think the tickets will be free this time, since we've racked up so many sky miles chasing after the girls.

Ken: Hmm….that means we'll have more money to spend on….

John & Ken: PIZZA!!!!!

Patti & Carol: ~sigh~

Jeremiah: Perfect! I'll make it to Hogwarts just in time for the Sorting Ceremony. I can't wait to see the looks on Colleen and Amanda's faces when they see me there! I wonder if Colleen will try to kill me….Naw, she won't want to get expelled before she can actually learn anything. This is going to be so much fun! ~pauses~ Well, until Mom and Dad find out, anyway.

Colleen: HA!!!!

Amanda: Dammit! Shoulda known….
