Chapter 6 - Maze
Snow was falling silently as Hermione woke up on the day after Christmas. It looked absolutely gorgeous outside; the ground covered with soft, fluffy snow... Trees and shrubs coated with a light layer of white powder... The lake looked great for skating on... It was all so beautiful. Hermione propped herself up on her bed and just spent a few moments admiring the loveliness of winter. Everything was looking peaceful outside, that is, until she saw some large figure fall off a tree, landing on the ground with a thump. Most of the snow on the tree shook off, and it looked quite odd - like something sticking out on a white piece of paper. She peered closely and realized that the large figure was Hagrid, and he seemed to be holding... a banana. For what... that was for him to know and us to find out...
Suddenly, Parvati barged into her room, squealing excitedly, as the people in Hermione's room began stirring and mumbling in protest.
"Omigosh Hermione, you guys, I heard that we are doing something special today, as a post-Christmas activity. It's like a maze of some sort... we get to go through a maze omigosh omigosh!"
"Er yay..."
The other girls, after listening for a few seconds, decided what Parvati had to say was nothing of importance and went back to sleep. Parvati, somewhat insulted by the lack of response, walked out of the room with indignant air. Hermione just made some sort of grunting noise and started picking out clothes for the day. She had quite improved her wardrobe this year... going shopping multiple times at the muggle stores gave her closet a nice stuffing. She probed at her stuff... there was a gray 3/4 sleeve shirt with a pink star on it, a white, tight fitting shirt with the letter "T", a small, cute black t-shirt with "Joe's Coffee Shop" written on it in blue ... She chose instead a slim-fitting black 3/4 shirt. She put on a pair of stonewashed jeans, threw on a hoodie, put on some chapstick, and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
When see reached the bottom of the stairs, however, she realized that the Great Hall had been indeed transformed into a big maze. Towering walls draped in white silk zigzagged around, and as Hermione stood there, gazing at it, several clumps of students gathered at the bottom of the stairs, obviously as awestruck as she.
There was a sign posted nearby, and Hermione read it (what else would you do with a sign). It explained that the maze was sort of just for fun, and you had to go through it to get your breakfast. The sign also stated that there would be 'surprises' inside the maze...
'How utterly lame and pointless,' Hermione thought to herself, 'All this for a breakfast? Really, SOMEONE had too much time on their hands.' And with that she marched into one of the entrances into the maze.
Harry and Ron clumbered down to the Great Hall just as Hermione entered the maze.
"Whoopdeedoo," muttered Ron, after regaining himself from tripping over his shoelaces and landing on the floor, "Let's go come on."
"Yeah, but," said Harry timidly, "Don't you want to read the sign first? It might be something ... (pause) (dramatic gesture)... dangerous."
"Yes, and Snape is slow dancing with Hagrid," said Ron sarcastically, but then he realized this wasn't such a good sarcastic remark as it confused Harry. Anyway.
Pulling Harry by the ear, Ron walked calmly into one of the entrances.
The inside looked less splendid than the outside. From the inside, it looked like the walls were made of cheap cardboard and the white silk was actually several bedsheets pinned together by clothes pins. The two boys had a great time making a few jeering remarks about the cheapness of the maze. There were several fake plastic statues standing here and there, each holding a weapon of some sort. Harry and Ron were just nearing the end of the maze (it was quite... easy... as there was no chance for wrong turns due to the fact that there WAS only one route for each entrance *cough*lame*cough*) Harry was bored. He decided to punch one of the statues just for the heck of it.
"Hey Ron," grinned Harry stupidly, "watch me punch him"
Harry punched the statue in the stomach.
The statue grunted and doubled over, and using his pitchfork, made several stabbing movements at Ron and Harry.
"Oh my god," squeaked Harry, "it's effing alive! The effing statue is effing alive!"
"Oh my god," Ron gasped, "Ohhh we are so sorry we are so sorry we thought you were a statue..."
The 'statue' was still hunched over, clutching his stomach and twitching.
The boys ran out of the maze.
Later, the boys found out that the 'statue' had been Professor Snape. They were happy that they had the great luck of punching him in the stomach, but they feared that Snape may poison them in Potions. Oh well. The thought of using physical violence against the Potions master gave great satisfaction to Harry and Ron.
When potions time came, the potions got mixed up and Neville and Hermione got poisoned instead.
Oh well, thought Professor Snape, those two are good as well.

Ayaya... not very good, eh. Oh and just a note if you're curious... a lot of the stuff I write about actually happened in real life. That's how I think up the ridiculous events.
