Author's Notes: This one is kind of short, sorry. But there'll be another one in a few days, I expect.
Elfy Gas
So Harry, in a bout of sudden talkativeness, blurted out that he was worried the Sirius was unhappy he was going back to Hogwarts and wouldn't be able to stay here. We were cleaning out this practically decaying cupboard at the time, so all I could put forth was a sneeze at first, which sent me flying into the wall right behind me, and this piece of dead cupboard got stuck to my finger.
Hermione assured him that Sirius was being a big prat, so I cut in. "That's a bit harsh, Hermione." But since I was a bit preoccupied with my finger barnacle, I couldn't put up much of an argument, only being able to back that last thing up with, "You wouldn't want to be stuck inside this house without company."
The thing is, I don't believe Hermione would mind terribly being in this house alone. She's much too sensible to get caught by demonic jumpers or squeal at the sight of spiders, plus, she found the Black library and has been sneaking off to it every now and then to investigate it's Death Eater-esque literature.
Anyway, me and Harry argued with Hermione a bit more (She thinks Sirius is mad!) and then Mum came in and told us we were big slackers. Is she aware that the house was practically made of mold when we got here, and now most of it…isn't!
But I made the mistake of comparing myself to a house-elf, and that got Hermione started again about spew.
Me and Harry proceeded to ignore her until she ran out of elfy gas.

I've come up with the idea that Ginny is not related to me. She can't be. I'm not even completely sure she's human. I'd bet Ludo Bagman that she was switched at birth with a baby from the ghoul in the attic at the Burrow. I bet she was too horrible for the ghoul.
The reason I think this is that Ginny slipped me a piece of Fred and George's latest concoction, a Chocolate Hair. It's like this kind of Muggle candy, a chocolate bunny, it was shaped like one, but when I ate it, I started sprouting green hair all over my face. I mean all over my face. It looked like a had a forest sticking out my ears, and a willow tree growing out my nose.
I've been in my room since Hermione noticed it. I couldn't even feel it, that's part of the candy, so that it's more enjoyable for everyone else, the victim can't tell what's growing, I could see it or feel it unless I looked in a mirror.
I was running up the stairs to my room and Fred shouted down from his and George's floor, "Finally got some whiskers there, Ronnikins?"
I thought I was going to hex myself to death, it was so embarrassing.
I was in one of the parlors we'd cleaned, getting Hermione to help me with a bit of homework and we were talking and she sort of got really wide-eyed and started rubbing her face, hinting at me.
Of course, me being the idiot I am didn't get the hint. Well, it was partly because I couldn't. But then she said, "Er…Ron…you've- er - got something on your…er…face." I asked her what it was and she just pointed at the mirror on the other side of the room. So I got up and looked and I had about an acre's worth of green hair growing faster than Harry during Quidditch season.
I froze for about five million years, and kept trying to pull it off. Hermione just stared, she couldn't think of anything to do.
Then I ran upstairs and here I am. The hair stopped growing by now, and it's starting to poof away in little clumps, I expect it'll be gone by morning, but for Merlin's sake! Under all the green I had to have been blushing like mad and probably looked somewhat like a certain red-and-green holiday.
I'm tired…I think I may never bother getting out of bed.

A/N: Yes, yes. Here we have another filler chapter. I thought it was pretty funny myself. The next one will definitely be bigger, but there was a few days in the book that I wanted to use. Don't want to stick to the book completely, that would be boring.
And for those of you who haven't read any of my other stories, think about reading Desire's Rose. I think it's my best yet.

Kylala-San: I got out of school just a few days ago (YES!) and so happy days are here again. It's been around an exact year since I got into fanfiction, and I shall dance around to funklicious musicto celebrate.
