Chapter Four: Ron's Stupid, Stupid Questions

"Exactly how close to Seabiscuit's grave is your house?''

Only an hour ago had they passed the strange man talking about pants when they met two Muggle women walking through London. They were conversing about Sea Biscuits and Triple Cows.

Hermione thought, "Good thing Mr. Weasley isn't here."

"WHAT?!" Ron wondered.

"Here we go again," Harry mumbled, rolling his eyes.

"Mione, what's a Sea Biscuit?"

"It's a horse, Ron. Muggles like to race horses."

"Then what's a Triple Cow?"

"Triple Crown, Ron." Hermione snapped. "Hurry it up, I don't want to be late for the Hogwarts Express!"

Ron was whining. "BUT I WANNA KNOW WHAT A TRIPLE COW IS!!"

"Ron, it's Triple CROWN!!! Now shut up, I can't take many more of your stupid questions."

"Fine. Harry, do YOU know what a Triple Crow is?"

"Like Hermione said, it's a Triple Crown. A triple crown is..."

"Don't tell him! He'll just ask more stupid questions!"

"But I want to know!"

"Too bad."

"Ron has a right to know, Hermione. Just let me tell him."

"No."

"Oh, come on, 'Mione! Let him tell me!"

Hermione sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you. A Triple Crown is a game where the horse wears three flaming crowns on their head until they burn to death."

"NOOOOOOOOOO! WAAAAAAAAAHH!! THAT'S SO SAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!" Ron bawled.

Harry sighed. "They're simply hopeless."
