Chapter Seven: The Gingerbread War

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot. Nothing else.

I know some people are reading this story, I can tell by the number of hits it's gotten. Please R&R..it makes me feel like people actually somewhat care about the story and it would make me feel better too. So if you could...that'd make me a happy girl. :D

I Am Not Crazy

Hermione:

Now I didn't have a clue as to what to do. I didn't know how I was going to find these people or even how I would manage to get the items back. I figured for now I would just keep walking down the tunnel, as it was the only thing I could do. Time passed and I started to get cold. Up ahead, I saw ice blocks and wandered over to them as I heard a commotion coming from behind a very large one. What I saw made me start laughing instantaneously. First, there was Malfoy holding a very large peppermint candy cane, and a pitcher of milk, trying to ward off hundreds of gingerbread men.

"Get back," Malfoy hollered. "I swear I'll pour milk over you all if you don't get away from me." I watched Malfoy for a little while, thinking I'd lost my mind. Truthfully, I was regretting I hadn't brought a camera with me to capture what I was seeing.

After a bit, I noticed Luna Lovegood hovered in the other corner whispering to what seemed to be the Gingerbread King. I overheard some of their conversation.

"Do you know…the muffin man?" Luna asked.

"The muffin man?" the Gingerbread King questioned.

"THE MUFFIN MAN!" The herd of gingerbread men screamed in unison and then turned back to the battle against Malfoy.

"Who…who lives on Drury Lane?" the King asked Luna.

"Yes!" She said with a wild cackle. I knew after hearing that something had happened to Luna's brain. We all knew Luna could be a bit strange but this was going overboard even for her.

"This is what we can do," Luna said, "We can get the treasure away if we distract him. Then, together, we can rule the world after uniting together with the Oh-Amazing-One-Muffin-Man! Hehehehehe!"

Now I might be wrong, but I don't think the King was paying much attention to what Luna was saying. He seemed to be more intent on staring at her in awe.

"And you can be my…my Queen!" he swooned.

Luna was not getting it. "Ooh! Nice idea, more power for us all. Now let's get that candy cane so we can rule the WORLD!"

I watched Luna get up, ready to attack Malfoy. I realized I had to do what I was here to do. I took my Big-Mega-Giant-Get-Back-There-Quick-Machine and shot both of them with it. It was quiet for a moment and the gingerbread army looked at me as I looked at them.

"You!" the King screeched. "You took my…my Queen!" He was getting mad now. "Charge!" he squeaked and I looked around. I saw a hole in the tunnel wall and noticed a ferret poke its head out. I ran over them, crumbling some as I went. I grabbed some ferret hair off the giant ferret as I jumped down the ferret hole.
