I Am Not Crazy
Hermione:
Ginny did not look happy when she walked in. It looked like she had gone through a pretty rough day compared to my day at Wal-Mart though I DO have to give myself credit for fighting off an army of gingerbread men. Well actually I was running away from them but if anyone else asks, I was fighting them. It's hard without a wand. I told Ginny about my day and she wasn't happy to here that I was in Wal-Mart for most of it. We both laughed over the dress and swore we'd torture Luna over her King for years to come. Ginny and I talked and laughed about the day till we realized we still needed to figure out how to get back to the school. We had both done our missions and we hadn't been sent back to the classroom. Both of us decided to try and figure out a way home as obviously Mr. Crouch was way too out of it in order to help get us back home. We'd probably be in for a lecture about llamas if we tried to get him to send us home.
"You have any ideas?" Ginny asked after 15 minutes of nothing being spoken.
"No, not really." I said, let down. I normally had an idea. My eyes caught something bright green out of the corner of my eye. I turned around in my chair and spotted a new book by a muggle about what they supposed magic was about, fresh on the rack. All of a sudden an idea came to me. I jumped up from my seat. "Ginny! We could try running into walls!" I said, thinking I was a genius.
Ginny burst out laughing. I stared at her; I had found nothing wrong with what I said. "What's so funny?" I asked. She got up from where she had been rolling around on the floor from laughter. "Hermione let me get this straight. You want us to run headfirst into walls in order to get back to the school." I did not understand. "Yes…it'd be like the hogwarts Express." Ginny broke into hysterics yet again. A few minutes later, she recomposed herself. "Hermione, I knew you haven't been quite well…yourself lately but this is pushing even your new limits. A muggle building being capable of having walls with magic? I mean this is just too much even for you to think of!" I was very confused. It was a brilliant idea. We would use the walls like when we boarded the Hogwarts Express each year to get back to the school. Yes, it might not work but it was at least worth a try. I didn't see how this was soamazingly funny.
Ignoring her, I went over and stood about fifty feet away from a nice, plain wall. Ginny, still finding this hilarious, went and stood right next to the wall, hovering a red blanket in front of the wall like I was a bull. I paid no mind to her. I took a deep breath and charged at the wall.
I went right through the wall. My only regrets are that I didn't see Ginny's face when I didn't SMACK right into the wall and fall back on the floor. I was back in the classroom and the room was pure chaos. I regretted coming back as it was better at Wal-Mart. Leprechauns had locked us in the potions room and were chasing everyone around the room with torches filled with rainbow goo.
