Chapter 6: The tea party.
Disclaimer: I own nothing that seems familiar.
A/N: Here's another chapter of my story. In my story, Scabbers isn't dead. I hope you like!
The next day, the cheerleading results were posted. Ron and Hermione had both made it. There was a tea party the next day in celebration. It said you had to wear your favorite hat.
"Oh Ron! Doesn't a tea party sound fun? I already know which hat I'm going to wear. What about you?"
"Do we really have to go to a stupid tea party? All you do there is drink tea and gossip about boys. And since I'm a boy there probably won't be any gossiping so all we'll be doing is drinking tea, which is boring!" Hermione just stared at him.
"You still have to go Ron. Would you rather drink tea or eat a live spider?" Hermione put her hands on her hips.
"Alright I'll go. But I'm bringing Scabbers with me. And I'm wearing my favorite hat."
"Ron, don't wear a baseball cap. It's embarrassing!"
"Don't worry. I'm not wearing a baseball cap."
The next day at the tea party everyone stared at Ron when he walked in. He had kept his promise. He wasn't wearing a baseball cap. He was wearing something much worse. Much, much worse. He was wearing one of those hats where there are two coke cans on the side of the hat, and there is a little tube that goes to your mouth so you can drink it. Ron sat down and asked, "Where's the tea?" Ginny handed him the teapot with her mouth hanging open.
The tea party was silent all the way through until, "Hermione, I can't find Scabbers!" said Ron frantically. They tried to look for Ron's rat as quietly as possible so to not draw any attention to themselves. But Ginny noticed and whispered to them, "Can you please stop fidgeting! It looks like you're having a seizure!"
Then Ron said, "But we can't find Scabbers! He's lost." Ginny just rolled her eyes. Then Cho Chang got the teapot to give herself some more tea. But to her surprise, tea didn't come out, but a rattail did. She screamed and threw the teapot.
"Well, I think we know where Scabbers is." said Hermione.
"He's going to get hurt if the teapot breaks. We have to catch him!" said Ron. The teapot was coming down. Ron ran underneath it and caught it. But there was one problem. The teapot was over the treacle pudding. So Ron jumped into the pudding and caught Scabbers.
He then noticed everyone was staring at him, so he took a taste of the pudding and said, "It's delicious. It's such a shame I ruined it."
"You are so lucky Ron. You could have been kicked out." said Hermione.
"I can't mess up this time. Or else…" he ran his finger across his neck.
A/N: Was it good? I'm not sure if some people got the part about Scabbers in the teapot. If you remember Alice in Wonderland, when she is with the Mad Hatter they have a little sleepy rat who lives in the teapot and tells stories. I just thought I'd tell you if you didn't already get it.
