What Blind Men See
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING
Authors Notes: Ok people, sorry it took so long with the last chapter, softball, motorcycle riding, and school are killing me. Anyways, the action should pick up a bit in the next chapter, this is just one that I have had in my mind forever. And sorry about the very much detailed description with Ganymede, she is a character I have had in my head since I started writing in general, and I finally put her in a story, it only took me about 5 years. Anyway, this chapter is an attempt at humor, but you hurt and angst lovers don't worry, that will be coming soon! On with the story.
Chapter 9Joke Time In The Common Room
The weekend was gone, and Monday was here, leaving the laughter behind, with the dread of class ahead. Everyone was at breakfast, Lily and Gan had finished their run early, and Remus was still laughing, for Gan seemed to never run out of jokes. 'She had been hanging around us more than usual lately. Oh well, she's a good friend and can make anyone laugh.' Remus didn't really mind her hanging around, for she had been all of their friends since first year, she was the fires person Remus met, but she was by herself a lot too, but that was just the way she was, no one could help what the were. No one rally understood Gan, 'how could they? She's alone one minute, then jumping into the middle of the scene the next. Oh well, we have always thought she had been dropped on her head as a baby one to many times.' Remus smiled at the thought of baby Gan being dropped, then jumping up and doing some Kung Fu on whoever dropped her, it was very possible that happened knowing Gan.
"Come on, lets get to class. We don't want to make the prefects aka the lovebirds late for class and make them give each other detentions where they will probably make out the entire—"
Lily hit Gan upside her head while James and Sirius were laughing, although James was a little pink from embarrassment. Peter and Remus just smiled at them, for this type of thing was daily.
The group left the Great Hall and went off to class. Professor Blackhalls was the meanest Herbology teacher the school had ever seen. She was always yelling at them not to hurt her poor little misunderstood living creatures. Most people fell asleep in her class, for she mostly lectured about pretty much nothing. No one actually learned anything in her class except two things: to never touch her plants or you will be expelled, and who was dating who because the gossip girls loved this class. The Maurders and the girls took this time to talk amongst themselves about pretty much nothing. By the time the class was over, Lily had to wake everyone up because they had fallen asleep. Lily herself had barley waken up in time to hear what the homework was. They had a half hour break before their next class, so they decided to go to the Common Room with the rest of the Gryffondors, everyone except the first and second years had this break.
After about 15 minutes of everyone just yelling and laughing, Gan had an idea. "Excuse me everybody," the entire room quieted down and looked at her as she stood on top of one of the chairs by the fire. "I would like to start a tradition from now on. Every Monday break will now be known as joke time. I will tell a joke around this time every week. Who would like me to start this tradition?" Everyone in the room knew Gan, therefore everyone in the room eagerly raised their hands, some people (the Maurders) raised both hands. "Ok, well let joke time begin!" Gan walked back and forth, thinking of a good joke to start things off with, then her eyes lit up, and even blind Remus could probably see the light bulb over her head. "Perfect" she said, then resumed her spot on top of the chair.
"Ok, one day, three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. And when they get there, St. Peter says, 'We have only one rule here in heaven… don't step on the ducks!' So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first women accidentally steps on one. Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St Peter chains them together and said, 'Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend eternity chained to this ugly man!'
"The next day, the second women accidentally steps on a duck, and along comes St Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another ugly man. He chains them together with the same punishment as the first women.
"The third women has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly man, is very, very careful where she steps. She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on…come on girls, you know who I am talking about, the guy that makes ever female of any species from ages 3 to 150 turn their heads. Well, anyway, St Peter chains them together and leaves without saying a word.
"The women stares up at him and remarks, 'I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all eternity?' And the guys says, 'Well, I don't know what you did, but I steeped on a duck.'"
Laughter erupted around the room, with a couple of girls yelling stuff like, "That was wrong" or "That's mean", then you could hear Sirius say, "That poor guy" and was hit by Lily and about 5 other girls. This only made people laugh harder.
Ganymede was proud of herself. She didn't care about making anyone in the room laugh, expect for Remus, and it looked like he could barley breath because he was laughing so hard, there were also tears in his sightless eyes, 'Maybe, just maybe, Remus could be spared.' They all started to leave to go to their next classes, which Gan did not have with the rest. She said good-bye to them as they walked out to their Care of Magical Creatures class, and Gan went off to Muggle Studies. 'Don't try to think about what you may have to do. If he must die, then he must die, then he must die. Your mission must always come first. Never forget that' 'I wont, I wont' 'You are arguing with yourself' 'Oh' Ganymede was by herself for the rest of the day, no one seemed to care, why would they, she liked it by herself, but then no one would know she was planning something, something big and nothing but trouble.
