Chapter 4- Monkey Boy and the Prince of Darkness
Ron had given another excuse to skip lunch in order to avoid Samantha once more that afternoon. But while he was telling Hermione that he wasn't hungry before dinner and that he was going to use his time to do homework, his stomach grumbled rather loudly. Hermione rolled her eyes and dragged Ron to the Great Hall saying that he didn't have to sit near Sammy.
Ron chose a seat near a tight group of first years that was quite far away from where Sam was sitting. Moments later, they were joined by Harry. As he sat down, he went to begin eating, but found that no food was there yet. Harry gave Ron and Hermione a quizzical look, but his attention was taken away as Dumbledore stood up.
"I have a bit of an announcement before dinner today. As some as you know, there is now two *unusual* characters roaming around the school grounds. I'd like to inform you all that both are from muggle fiction books. The cat you have all seen this morning, is called Cat in the Hat." Ron snorted but Dumbledore continued his speech, "Later this morning, there was a sighting of a creature that appeared to be a, what was it, a 'deformed midget troll'. That is, in fact a creature named, Gollum. The staff has tried to remove both of them from the premises, both with magic and with out, but lets just say it didn't quite work. They both said something about being insulted," Dumbledore coughed and then continued on his speech, "So if you see either of them, please do not provoke them. Now why don't we all eat our dinner before another parody character disturbs us." Dumbledore clapped and suddenly the food appeared in front of them.
"I wonder where they came from..." Hermione wondered out loud.
**************************
The next morning there were no more sightings of 'the Cat', [A/N: From now on, I'm going to call Cat in the Hat, 'the Cat', ok?] Gollum, or any other parody character.
"You don't flick your wand, Ron, you have to swish it, and you're saying the incan-" Hermione was interrupted as the bell rang to leave the Charms classroom. "I have to ask Professor Flitwick about that essay we have to do by Friday. You guys go to Transfiguration, I'll catch up later." Ron shrugged, gathered his books and left the room with Harry following him.
As they walked down the Charms corridor in silence, Ron commented, "She's never going to change, is she?" he said as he sighed. Harry however knew the real reason she had stayed behind, she needed to talk to Samantha.
"I don't think so..." Harry replied to his best friend. But as their conversation went on, Hermione was waiting in the classroom for Samantha. She was busily gossiping with Lavender and Parvati about how Terry Boot and Hannah Abbot had apparently broken up. *God, it's like they're all related or something, all they ever do is gossip!* Hermione thought angrily, *How am I EVER going to get a word in with her with them chatting up a storm?!* But fortunately, luck was on her side.
"Miss. Patil, Miss. Brown? May I see you in my office?" The tiny professor asked in his squeaky voice. All three of them turned around to look down at Professor Flitwick.
"But professor, what did we do wrong?" Parvati asked in the most innocent voice she could make.
"I have already caught both of you passing notes for the fifth time this week," He replied sternly, which was actually quite funny, since his voice was so high pitched. Even Hermione had to do her best not to laugh. "Please follow me, ladies."
Hermione watched as Lavender and Parvati disappeared into Flitwick's office leaving Samantha behind. She turned to find Hermione still there and walked over. "You're going to Transfiguration next, right? I'm not quite sure how to get there."
"Just follow me that's where I'm going." Hermione and Sam walked out the door and proceeded to McGonagal's classroom. She agreed with herself that she wouldn't ask Sammy quite yet. She didn't want it to seem that that was all she cared about. They walked in silence until Sam asked quietly, "You like Harry don't you? I mean, more than a friend."
Hermione went red, it was true. She had had a crush on Harry for while now but didn't act on it, afraid that it would ruin they're friendship. But then again, being in Draco Malfoy's arms yesterday wasn't so bad either.... "No, err-why would you think that?" She asked as she continued as her face continually turned into a deeper shade of red.
Sam laughed, "I don't worry, your secret's safe with me, uhmmm, where are we going?" she added as she looked around finding themselves in an unfamiliar corridor.
"Uhhhhhhhhh, I don't exactly know, I've never been this way before. We better find our way to class before the bell ri-" Again, Hermione was cut off by another bell, this time signaling that class has started. "I guess it doesn't matter now, we're late." Hermione sighed. They wandered around the castle for nearly 15 minutes until she finally recognized the staircase leading to the Astronomy Tower. "I have good news and bad news..." Hermione quietly said as they turned around.
"Lets hear the good news first." Samantha said cheerfully.
"Ok well, the good news is I know where we are. The bad news is that we're on the completely opposite side of the castle and 3 floors above of where we're supposed to be. It'll probably take about 10 minutes to get there and McGonagal is definitely going to give us detention for being a half an hour late." They continued towards Transfiguration while discussing what McGanagal was going to make them do. After a while it got pretty far-fetched, such as, "Maybe she'll make us be house elves for a day in the Slytherin common room!" or "Or maybe we'll have to give the Giant Squid a bath!" By the time they were upon entering their class, they were in fits of laughter.
"May I ask you ladies why you are giggling as you walk into my class inconsiderably late?!" McGonagal asked as her mouth went thin. The entire class looked up to look at them as they put down their wands, obviously today had been a practical lesson. Ron ogled at the wide-eyed as he refused to believe that the famous Hermione Granger, the worlds most smartest witch that had best attendance record, was late to class. Not to mention a half an hour late at that.
"We got lost and ended up by the Astronomy Tower!" Sam replied coolly.
"A likely story. I would have definitely not expected this of you Miss. Granger! Both of you will receive a weeks worth of detentions starting this evening, are we clear?" Hermione and Sam nodded their heads as they took the only two remaining seats that happened to be next to each other at the back of the room. "We are attempting to turn quills into monkeys, [A/N: I love monkeys!! And I act like one sometimes, too!!] so far nobody has been successful." McGonagal said sternly as she informed the two of them what they were doing in class. She sat down behind her desk and started to grade papers.
"I don't think she believed our story." Samantha whined as she pulled out a quill and her wand.
"Oh well," Hermione sighed and got to work on her quill. She could ask Sam later. Right now, she had to concentrate on the task at hand.
Forty minutes later, no one yet had been successful at transfiguring their quills into monkeys. Until there was a loud pop. Everyone looked around to find Harry had transfigured his quill, but it wasn't quite a monkey. On the table in front of Harry, sat a miniature Ron who had to be at the most 3 feet tall. Ron stared at his 'mini me'. Mini Ron stared back.
Professor McGonagal sighed, "I suppose that's close enough to a monkey for me. Full marks, Mr. Potter." With that she waved her wand and Mini Ron disappeared with another pop.
Ron made a sudden outburst. "Hey! Why'd you do that?!?!"
"Because this school has already had a pair of Weasley twins, we don't need another pair for quite some time!"
"But he wasn't my *twin*, he was my *clone*! And are you implying I resemble a monkey?!?" Ron whined in a exasperated tone while throwing his hands into the air in frustration. Most of the class looked shock that Ron actually had the wide of a vocabulary.
"Don't worry professor, I see the similarity between the two," Samantha said from the back of the class, not troubling to keep her voice down. Quite a few people laughed at this comment, though they were mostly girls, including Hermione.
"Alright, settle down everyone!" McGonagal said sternly, "And would you kindly get back to work?" As soon as the words left her mouth, everyone complied to her request, though Ron looked quite insulted, who was currently eyeing her moodily.
But all of this reminded Hermione that she still had a task to do, other than her class work. *This is perfect! This way she'll think that I reminded of this because of that comment she made about Ron! EXCELLENT!!* [A/N: Sorry about that 'EXCELLENT!!', it's an inside joke to everyone who has read 'Dude, Where's My Nimbus 2000'] "So Sam, you never did tell me why you and Ron don't get along." Hermione waited for Sammy to answer her. A few seconds later, Hermione showed her impatience with a, "*Well*?"
"Oh! You're actually asking me! I thought you were just making a comment." she said sheepily, the sighed. She started telling Hermione as she sat there scratching her nose. "Well when we were both - OH MY GOSH!" There had been another popping noise. Everyone turned to look, expecting to see another Mini Ron. But as soon as the pop had ended, there were many other noises, almost like a computerized swishing.
But to everyone's disappointment, there wasn't any Mini Ron. There at the front of the class, sat a very white Neville with wide, fearful eyes, which were fixated in front of him, beyond his desk.
At the very front of the class, stood two men, one in white robes, one in black robes. The one wearing the black robes was wearing something between a black knight helmet, and a gas mask. Every breath he took was magnified into a steady *heeeeeeeee whoooooooooo*.
Both were holding a highly decorated foot long metal rod with light protruding out of the end, much like a sword. The man in white's sword was blue, the other was red. Both were swishing their lighted wands madly at each other.
Everyone watched with wide eyes, and mouths open. But the two men seemed oblivious to their surroundings. As they continued their duel, the man in the white knocked the other's weapon out of his hand. The man in black backed away from him.
"*heeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooo, Luke, I have *heeeeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooooo* something to *heeeeeeeeeeeee whooooooo* tell you. *heeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooooo*" He said in a deep voice.
"What?" the other said threateningly.
"*heeeeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooo* Luke, I am *heeeeeeeee whoooooooooo* you father! *heeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooo*"
Luke blinked. "I'm listening..."
"*heeeeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooooo* Isn't this the *heeeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooo* part where you *heeeeeeeeeee whooooooooo* scream 'NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'? *heeeeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooooo*"
"I *said* I'm listening!" Luke said in a what seemed like an annoyed tone.
"*heeeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooo* Uh, ok ..." the man was obviously thrown off by his son's attitude. "*heeeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooo* Well anyways, *heeeeeeeeee whoooooooo* do you want to *heeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooooooooo* join the Dark Side *heeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooooo* and become the Prince of *heeeeeeeeeeee whoooooooooooooo* Darkness? *heeeeee whoooooooo*"
"SURE!! Being a Jedi is so boring!! I love you Darth Vader! I mean Dad!!" He said as she flung his lighted sword aside (that narrowly missed Seamus' head) and hugged his dad.
By now, the students looked as if they didn't know what to think. It was then that Luke and Darth Vader noticed where they were.
"Uhhh, where are we?" Luke asked.
"*heeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooo*I don't know.*heeeeeeeeee whoooooooo*"
"I say we kill them all!" Luke laughed insanely.
"*heeeeeeeeeee whooooooooo* Be patient son. *heeeeeeeeee whooooooooooo* We must first come up with a plan that will never work that somehow leads to taking over the universe and killing them all at the same time ... oh yeah *heeeeeeeeeeee whooooooooooooooo*"
"Ok, whatever you say Dad!" Luke said happily and skipped out of the class, closely followed by Darth Vader with his robes billowing behind him, which reminded the students heavily of Snape.
Nobody said anything for quite sometime, until Ron said in a quite shrill voice, "What was that all about?"
Dean answered his question. "It was two characters from Star Wars ... how that's not what's supposed to happen ... how did they get here anyways?"
"The last I saw was Neville trying to transfigure his quill..." Lavender said quietly.
By now, McGonagal found her voice. "I-I am going to the Headmaster's office to inform him of what has happened. Everyone is not to utter a spell of leave this classroom until the bell rings," she glanced at the clock, "Which will be any second now." And with that she left her class.
Immediately after she left the class was filled a buzz of talk.
"I still don't get what happened!" Seamus complained.
"Well I don't know what else to tell you!" Dean replied innocently.
"What if we're all going to die?!?!" Ron said fearfully.
"Oh of course we're not going to die, Monkey Boy." Sammy said as she rolled her eyes.
"Who asked you?!?" Ron shot back.
Samantha opened her mouth to tell him off but the bell rang, and there was a rush of students that swept them all into the hall. She rushed to catch up with him to give him her retort, leaving Harry and Hermione there in the middle of the Transfiguration corridor. "We should go to lunch," Hermione sighed.
"Did she tell you?" Harry asked anxiously.
"I would have told you if she did," she responded gloomily.
Harry gave her a sympathetic look, grabbed her hand, and intertwined there fingers. There eyes met for a second more than what was necessary. Hermione felt her heart skip. *Oh my god...*. Harry was thinking along the same lines, *Wow her hands are so soft! And she has the prettiest eyes ... Erg! Don't think like that Potter! She likes you as a FRIEND!!*. Harry looked away. "We should probably go and save Ron..." he trailed off as he started to walk down the hallway pulling Hermione along behind him.
Hermione certainly didn't exactly feel appreciated being pulled down a corridor. But this action only led Hermione to other thoughts. *Ohh...*, she thought as her heart sank, *he only wanted to grab my hand to drag me around to find Ron ... How could I be so stupid to think that he would like me of all people?!? He could have anybody!!*. She was pulled back to reality with Harry's voice, "I think I see him. Uh oh, this doesn't look good, he has his wand out and is pointing it to Sam. We go and rescue him before he starts puking up slugs again..."
"Sure..." Hermione replied dully and let herself be pulled towards the crowd of people who had now gathered around Samantha and Ron.
