Mardi Gras: or Ron Discovers Plastic Trinkets
Chapter 2
From last time:
"Ya'll are lucky ya'll came just in time for Mardi Gras!" H.T. exclaimed prompting poor Ron to faint.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone turned to Ron.
"He's fainted..." Harry stated as they stared at the red-head's body lying in the middle of the street. (A person in the middle of the street is no big deal so close to Mardi Gras and the hordes of drunken types a few streets over...)
"Thank you captain obvious," Ginny muttered.
At that moment Ron groaned and sat up, smelling like beer, fags (cigarettes you silly things), and dirt.
H.T. helped him up, saying, "At least you didn't fall in the street, those taxis don't stop for just anyone."
The walked into the gilded, fancy-shmancy lower lobby of the Iberville hotel.
"Ok," H.T. looked at the Hogwarts students. "Act natural and follow my lead. Don't say anything about being here accidentally because ya'll dum- dums don't have passports." (Yes even wizards need passports to get in the U.S.)
H.T. turned to one of the elevators and pressed the up button. The doors opened and they walked into the mirrored elevator.
"Ron, c'mon." Hermione said seeing the dirty boy still outside the deathtrap- I mean- elevator.
Ron shook his head and backed a bit up. "I don't trust those Muggle deathtraps!"
"Oh please," Harry groaned and held the door open. "You won't die-."
But he was interrupted by Ginny pushing past him. "No, Harry. Let me."
Ginny grabbed Ron, pushing him towards the gaping hole-err- elevator entrance, struggling to get her brother onto the elevator.
"Noooooo!!!" Ron cried and put his feet and hands on the frame, preventing Ginny from making progress.
At that moment a huge, flying lizard flew towards Ron who screamed like a little girl.
[Kidding]
At that moment a Draco thing popped out from the elevator and pulled the struggling Ron back with him. As soon as Ginny cleared the doorway Harry pulled his foot from blocking the sliding door.
"ARRRGGGG!!!!!!" Ron pounded on the door. "We'll all fall to our death!"
Silence. The only sound was the elevator music playing cheese-y Mardi Gras music.
"We're still on the first floor," Hermione stared at him. She reached over and pushed the Lobby button, sending the elevator up.
Ron started shaking and jabbering. "Is he always like this?" H.T. and Draco asked at the same time.
"Only in different countries. Egypt was the worst," Ginny said as the doors opened to reveal the lobby.
"Hey, Ron. We're here." H.T. nudged the form on the floor.
"...eeeble eeeeble-what?" Ron WAS MIRACULOUSLY HEALED!! Standing up he cried, "I CAN WALK AGAIN!! I AM HEALED!!"
"Right, Weasley, just walk," Draco shoved the raving boy from the elevator and into the vast lobby.
The group got two rooms and for some reason due to the insanity and lack of reasonable plot in the story Ginny, Draco and H.T. were in one room.
These parting words will end the second chapter:
Ron looked around the room, "At least we left the ducks at home."

A/N: Thank you takes a bow review and feel free to flame all you want!
Next up: Camillio Grill (was that right? sorry I can't spell), and they loose Ron!
