The silence was deafening.
Sirius was going absolutely mad not being able to be heard. He would scream for hours on end, trying to get noticed without physically tapping someone. But it was all in vain.
Ramar was starting to get carpal tunnel for her magnidoodle, so she quickly traded it in for an etchasketch.
Remus, among other things, was still trying to get Andromeda alone, in hopes of proposing to her. He was trying to at least wait until he could actually ASK her, but Severus was making it rather difficult. Severus was still trying to find himself, (not really, he knew quite well where he was) and trying to explain how he felt about Andromeda.
Andromeda by now was having her own emotional crisis. She was battling the need to kill and disembowel Gilderoy, the desire to slap Sirius and want to push Gladly overboard.
"R wee thar yett?" Gilderoy spelt out.
"For the last time, no." Andromeda replied. "You'll know when we get there."
"Wen?" Gilderoy etched.
"When Sirius's screaming reaches the frequency of your head, and it explodes." Andromeda wrote.
"I don't want that to happen!" Gilderoy wrote frantically. "I don't think I can grow back another one!"
"Give it another fifteen minutes." Gladly wrote. "This sea can't be much further."
"And where will we end up?" Ramar asked.
"Probably the Cliff of Cuteness." Gladly said.
Sirius screamed an obscenity.
"Not in front of the child, Sirius!" Andromeda silently yelled at him, slapping his head. While Sirius rubbed the wound, Severus was busy fashioning a cattle prod out of an extension cord and a glass of water.
"Gilderoy," Severus wrote in a script that was no less than devious, "I have a little present for you."
"GOODY!" Gilderoy exclaimed, holding out his hand. He looked madly happy when he saw what Severus had for him. "OOH!" he creamed. "Eclectricty!"
"No, Gilderoy!" Andromeda wrote frantically when she saw what was going on. "That's no a-..."
ZZZZAAAAAPPPP!!!!
"-Toy."
Gilderoy was barbecued.
"I can't believe that just bloody happened." Remus wrote. "That has nothing to do with the general plot of this story."
"Remus," Andromeda explained, "Don't argue with a godsend."
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Sirius yelled, finally being heard. Andromeda hit him on the head. Ramar closed her hands around her ears. Gilderoy's head exploded.
"Shut up!" Severus said, hitting Sirius as well and hurling his magnidoodle overboard. "We can hear you!"
"We must be near the Cliff of Cuteness." Gladly said, pointing ahead into the dense fog.
Sure enough, dark figures began to take place. Two immense rocks bulged out of the clouds, completely different in appearance. One was the Cliff of Cuteness, named for its pink grass and trees, and the frolicking teddy bears and gumdrop bushes. The other figure was the Ditch of Doom, writhing with snakes and scorpions, and wreaking of poisonous gases.
Sirius glanced at the Cliff, and then at the ditch. "Let's go that way." He said, pointing to the Ditch of Doom.
"That would lead us to the castle of the princess of donuts." Andromeda said. "That's not where we're going."
"Well, f-..."
"Not in front of the child!"
