Chapter Three: Hello Hogsmeade/Midget Meeting
"Hogsmeade!" Hermione breathed. She looked around. All the shops were still there, but somehow things were different. She walked to the fountain in the middle of town and sat down. That was when she heard it. Laughter. Well actually, giggling. It stopped as soon as it started. She looked around, but saw no one. On a normal day the streets were filled with wizards. Where was everyone? Laughter again! Hermione turned but still didn't see anyone. Then a light appeared out of nowhere. It grew bigger and bigger! Hermione gasped as a man appeared. She recognized him right away.
"Dumbledore!" She said quietly.
"Hello my dear!" He said excitedly
"Oh! Dumbledore, I'm so happy to see you! My house! I'm lost!" She said. She looked up at him. He looked amused.
"I'm sorry. I don't know this Dumbledore you speak of. I am Dumble-Bumble. Or D.B for short." He said smiling at her.
"Where am I?" She asked a look of worry across her face.
"Well, you're in Hogsmeade. I should tell you that I'm a good warlock. The only one around, sadly. You've dropped your house on the wickedest warlock of the streets. Thank goodness too. He was planning on killing my midgets." Dumble-Bumble said shaking his head sadly.
"The midgets?" Hermione asked
"Well of course! The laughter. They're rather shy. Come out my children. The wicked warlock is dead. This young woman saved you!" Dumble-Bumble said happily. Hermione watched as several children walked out of the bushes. They were all wearing either bright pink or green robes. They also had flowers in their hair. They gathered around Hermione and whispered excitedly. Then a group of boys came out of the crowd. Two specific ones stood out in front of her.
"I'm Colin and this is my brother Dennis. We are the representatives of Quill Guild. On behalf of Hogsmeade we welcome you." Colin said. He handed her several different quills.
"Thank you." Hermione said smiling at him. She opened her mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by two midgets wearing baggy pants and weird looking hats.
"Yo, you. I'm Ginny Weasley and I'm here to say, if it wasn't for you we'd be fucked today, you saved our lives and we owe you dearly, we'll give you admiration and respect yearly, the mean old bastard's in his gave, we gotta let the world know that we've been saved." The red head sang.
"You came to us from the sky, if I hadn't see it myself I'd say it was a lie, we know it'll be hard to pay you back, and we'd like to start with this handsome plague, we hope that ass hole put up a fight, this is a thank you from Rappers D-Lite, Bitch" The blonde sang.
"Um.....Thanks....." Hermione said uneasily
"Young lady, we'd like to thank you for ridding us of the evil warlock. Your name will go down in history. And you will have a place in the wall of fame." A mayor looking midget exclaimed. Cheers went up throughout the crowd, but the cheers were short lived. They became screams of panic and worry....
"What the fuck?"
