Chapter 27 - Who Likes Short Shorts?
Hermione and Ginny were dancing in their room. The Muggle radio beside Hermione's bed was playing a ridiculous song, something about Barbie girls. Both girls were dressed in halter tops and very short shorts - naturally, since it was August.
There was a knock on the door. Harry popped his head in. Girls, it's - he stopped at the sight of his friends dancing, and his nose suddenly gushed blood. He ran off, slamming the door behind him.
A few moments later, Ron stuck his head in. Have you seen Har- He stared at Hermione's legs for a few seconds. Then his nose started to bleed, and he dashed off.
Several minutes later, Sirius entered the room. Ginny, Hermione, it's almost - He stopped, stared, and began to drool. A thin stream of blood trickled from one nostril, and he turned and fled.
Still completely oblivious to all the bleeding males running from their room, Hermione and Ginny continued to dance as a Spice Girls song replaced the Barbie girl one. Crookshanks jumped from bed to bed, meowing happily.
Bill pushed open the door. Gin, Hermione, Mum says supper - His eyes widened and he cut himself off. His nose began to bleed, and off he went.
Several minutes later, Remus was sitting in the kitchen amid several males with nosebleeds. Fred, George, Charlie, Mundungus, and Kingsley had also fallen victim to - well, to whatever was upstairs that would cause a nosebleed. They wouldn't tell Remus what it was, and he knew the second floor certainly didn't qualify as high enough altitudes to cause nosebleeds. But he also knew that it was suppertime, and Hermione and Ginny were nowhere to be seen. Heaving a sigh, Remus got up and headed upstairs, ignoring the others as they stuck wads of tissue up their noses.
He knocked on the girls' bedroom door. A radio was playing inside. He opened the door to find Hermione and Ginny dancing to a silly song. They didn't seem to hear what he was saying. He reached over and switched off the radio.
Hermione and Ginny stopped dancing. Hello Remus, Hermione said, as they smoothed their mussed hair. Ginny caught Crookshanks as he tried to leap across the beds again.
It's time for supper, Remus smiled.
As they headed downstairs, he commented, Is there any reason why coming up here should cause nosebleeds?
Both girls looked puzzled. No, why?
Everyone who came to come and get you has a nosebleed, Remus said. I wonder why?
And they headed down to supper, only to find that every tissue in the house was gone, and every man in the house (except Remus) ate while staring at the ceiling.
Perverts.
