Why hello. This shall be my second fiction and well it started out because of a journal assignment for my English class. If it shall ever be updated I shall never know! We had to write about an iguana… I'm not sure where the idea came from but I wrote the iguana into HP…Who knew that it would work. Well here you go! And now: If Only That Iguana Hadn't Showed Up!

Chapter 1: How it all started

            "The plan would have worked if that bloody iguana hadn't showed up," said Ron. As usual he and Harry had been up to something in potions class.

            "I bet it was Neville, probably transfigured his scales by accident," replied Harry. Ron and Harry had been trying to do something behind Hermione's back. They had planned to throw a batch of wet start fireworks into Crabbe and Goyle's cauldron, which just happened to contain a shrinking potion. They were hoping that it would hit Snape's nose, and shrink it. But before Ron could even put the fireworks into the cauldron, an iguana had appeared.

~10 minutes earlier~

            Every one had been quietly adding the last ingredient to their own potion, when they heard Neville gasp. Every one stopped, even Hermione who had been concentrating on lowering the temperature of her fire, and looked up. Hearing Neville gasp was a bad sign and every one knew it. Snape stalked over to Neville and looked down his elongated nose at him. "What have you done now?" he asked.

            "No-N-Nothing," stuttered Neville, "Bu-but look!" Snape looked to where he was pointing, along with the rest of the class.  Snape's smirk slowly turned into a frown, and he muttered something that sounded like "crap", under his breath. Hermione, realizing what this meant, suddenly swayed on the spot and almost collapsed had it not been for Ron standing next to her. Ron just looked at her confused until Snape told them to leave, for the iguana had moved closer to Neville's potion. "Leave. NOW!" shouted Snape. Every one quickly left, glad to be let out early.

~Back to present~

            Ron and Harry had walked half way down the hall when they had heard an explosion. "That sounded like the potion's class room," stated Hermione. The trio stopped, turned around, and let their mouths hang open. Smoke was issuing forth from the classroom door, and an utterly disheveled Snape walked out.

            "Damn iguana! Doesn't Longbottom know what an iguana can do to a potion!?!" said a very irritated Snape as he walked off. The trio stood there silent for ten minutes before Ron started to laugh. Soon Hermione and Harry joined him. Once they had stopped laughing, they turned and started heading to the great hall. Once there they sat down and started to eat their lunch. "Good thing we didn't throw those fireworks," said Ron. Harry stopped what he was doing, and looked at Ron.

            "WHAT?!?!" said Hermione.

There you go. If you really like it I can write more… Voldie would come into play of course but tell me what you think!
