Chapter 7- Hagrid's ditch.

[[After a gruelling potions lesson, in which Snape had made them sing a song about Combine Harvesters.]]

Seamus, Dean and Neville walked past Harry and Ron.

Seamus: All together now!

Seamus, Neville + Dean: [Singing] Oh I've got a brand new combine Harvester . . .

Harry: They're all mental.

Ron: [singing quietly to himself] Combine Harvester, combine harvester, combine harvester . . .

Harry: RON!

Ron: [Falling over in shock] WAH!

Harry: I hated that lesson.

Ron: Me too.

Harry: Do you want to go to Hagrid's ditch now?

Ron: Sure.

[[He got up, and off they went.]]

[[As the set off across the grounds to Hagrid's cosy, smelly little ditch, they spoke of memories past.]]

When Harry knocked he heard a frantic scrabbling from inside and several booming chirps. Then Hagrid's voice rang out, saying: "Back Wine Gum, Away from the door!"]]

He let them in, but gave them big neck pads to keep his Vampire Canary, Wine Gum, off their necks.

[[There were hundreds of rooms in the ditch, as it was so long, but unfortunately they weren't all very nice rooms, as it was a ditch. I mean, come on!]]

Hagrid: Make me a home!

Harry: What?

Hagrid: Err . . . never mind. No Wine Gum!

[[Wine Gum has started biting Ron's ears.]] Harry: That's Ron.

Hagrid: A Malfoy eh?

Ron: No! A Weasley! And Damn proud of it too.

Hagrid: Oh. We'll good for yer.

Harry: Fergus Acne is really mean.

Hagrid: I know! And that albino Ring Tailed Lemur o' his! What an ugly thing.

Ron: Who, Mr Borris?

Hagrid: Yer. 'Im.

Harry: Snape was a bit of a Rude Boy too.

Hagrid: Well he's like that to everyone!

Harry: He's such a farmer!

Hagrid: Rubbish! Why should he?

Harry: Why should he what?

Hagrid: Err, never mind. Ron! How's Chazza?

Ron: Charlie? He's great.

[[While Ron spoke to Hagrid, Harry went on a walk to some of the less nice rooms to have a snoop. After checking Hagrid's stocks and pension plan, Harry found what he was *really* looking for. (What's that then?) He picked it up, and conveniently, read it aloud.]]

Harry: Grungy Bank Break-in, the latest news.

Investigations continue into the break-in of Grungy Bank on the 1st of August, widely believed to be the work of fluffy witches and wizards unknown.

Grungers and Moshers from the bank insisted nothing was taken. The vault that was search had in fact been cleaned that very same day, and emptied the day before.

"But I want to get back to my Linkin Park CD, so shove off." said a Grunger's Spoke's Mosher today.

Wow.

[[He wandered back to the living room and told Hagrid about the strange coincidence.]]

Hagrid: [grunt]

[[Later Harry wondered about the strange coincidence some more, and went to sleep-as you do.]]
