Ron: (dashing into the Gryffindor Common Room) Hey Harry, I just bought this joke book at Zonko's! Come look.
Harry: Cool. (walking over to Ron)
Hermione: Great. Can I have a look too? (also walking over to Ron)
Ron: Yeah, but be careful. The witch that worked there said that it might be jinxed. But it's supposed to be really funny. Fred and George said that they already bought eight copies, and it just came out!
Harry: Sweet. How much is it?
Ron: Only two knuts.
Harry: I'll buy one if it's really that good. Do you want one too Hermione? I can buy a copy for you.
Hermione: No thanks, I haven't got time for jokes. I'll just listen to some of them from Ron's book, or yours, if you decide to buy one.
Ron: Well, do you guys want to hear some jokes right now?
Hermione: What about the jinxes?
Ron: I don't reckon a few jinxes could hurt. (opens the book) "What does a wizard's cat like just before it goes to bed?"
Harry: (looks at Ron hysterically) Dunno.
Ron: A…. sorcerer of…. milk? (looking confused)
Hermione: Sorry Ron, but I didn't really get that one.
Harry: Maybe we should try the second one. Go on Ron.
Ron: If you say so. "Why are wizards so good in fishing school?" (looking slightly displeased)
Hermione: (trying to look interested) B.. because they know magic?
Ron: (ears turning pink) No, because they really know how to cast a…. spell?
Harry: That wasn't really bad.
Ron: It was better than the first, but it was really bad, Harry.
Hermione: Why don't you finish the book, then judge it, while Harry and I do homework.
Ron: I'll do home-
Hermione: I've already done mine, so I won't really mind to do yours for you. It's really easy anyway.
(soo after a nice long hour of doing homework for Harry and Hermione, and reading the jokebook for Ron.
Ron finally shut the book with a loud "SNAP".)
Ron: (now red in the face) Well, I've finally finished the stinkin' book, and I must say that it was boring, boring, boring!
Hermione: So did you find any jinxes?
Ron: One, that the whole book was a trick of Fred and Georges'. And Harry, I do advise you not to buy one!
Harry: (grinning) Trust me, I won't.
Hermione: Well, the price of it should have told you that something was wrong! But didn't you say that Fred and George has eight whole copies? What would they do with so many?
Ron: Well I would think that someone as smart as you would realize that they made it and tried to make money off of it. I'll tell mum. I'm going to bed, Harry. (yawned and left)
Harry: Me too. G'night Hermione.
Hermione: I'll stay a little longer. Night Harry.
(a few minutes later, Fred and George came out)
Fred: (whispering) Hey Hermione, did Ron buy a jokebook?
Hermione: Yes…..
George: (starts to giggle)
Hermione: That wasn't very nice you know.
George: But he didn't even waste a lot of money.
Hermione: Still…… well, you guys better not do that again. I'm going up to bed. Night.
The End
