Thanks to all the reviewers!
Chapter Three: Truth wears pants?!!?
"Look, J.C., I've heard this from you before. The light can get halfway around the world before the truth even has its pants on.''
The old man was muttering to himself while walking through Diagon Alley.
Hermione was about to run up to the man and give him the biggest telling-off of his long, long life, but Ron restrained her.
"No, Hermione. He's nutters. Don't bother."
"But Ron!" Hermione was quite distressed that day, her hair was more bushy than ever.
"No."
Harry had also heard the man's rambling; he wanted to know what the heck was going on. So he cried, "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?"
Ron and Hermione replied, in unison, "We have NO clue."
"He said the truth wears pants! What did he mean by that?" Ron asked, more confused than ever.
For once, Hermione could not answer a question.
Silence.
Ron's facial expression brightened. "Wow! For once Hermione doesn't have an answer! So she DOESN'T know all the answers!"
"Well duh." Hermione replied. She went on to say, "If I knew all the answers, I'd know how to make you stop asking such stupid questions."
Ron opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't.
A/N: I'm starting to like these ficlets...-gets glint in eyes-
