Chapter 77 - Go Fish!

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting by a window, trying to amuse themselves during break. Hermione had a pack of cards in her bag (normally used for playing solitaire during slow times), and she and Harry decided to teach Ron how to play Go Fish.

"The rules are really simple, Ron," Harry assured his best mate. "The idea is to try and match up the cards you're holding. You can ask me or Hermione if I have any of the cards you need. If not, you have to pick from the pile. After all the cards are gone, we count who has the most matches, and that person's the winner."

"Okay," Ron said, confident that this was at least one Muggle thing he could understand. "Let's play."

Hermione dealt the cards, and the game began.

"Hermione, do you have any threes?" Harry asked.

"Sure," Hermione said, handing the Three of Diamonds to Harry, who matched it with his Three of Clubs and set them by his side. Hermione turned to Ron.

"Ron, do you have any fives?"

"Yeah," Ron said, handing over his Five of Hearts. Hermione paired it with her Five of Spades and placed them in her lap.

Ron glanced down at the seven cards in his hand and contemplated what to ask. "Um. Harry, do you have any aces?"

"No, sorry," Harry said. "Go Fish."

Ron stared at him. Then he sighed, opened the window, and pointed his wand at the lake. "Accio fish!"

A squirming fish flew out of the lake and into Ron's outstretched hand.

"Um... Ron... that's not exactly what I meant..." Harry sweatdropped.

"Oh, okay." Ron levitated the fish back into the lake. "Accio giant squid!"

"AAAAUGHH!" Hermione and Harry fell over backwards as the giant squid rose out of the lake and zoomed towards the castle...
