Not Your Sort: Chapter 2: You what?
Harry's laughter came slowly. At first, it was a soft clicking noise. Then, it turned into broken up snorts. Finally, he laughing properly, not even realizing that half the table were staring at him weirdly.
His face turned slightly pink and as the hushed voices of the seriously scared Gryffindors began to get louder, he looked at Hermione in amazement and said, "He wore what?"
Hermione nodded.
Ron just looked at the two and said, "You know, we wouldn't have any problems if at least sometimes, you'd tell me things. For example, why are you laughing?"
Harry and Hermione looked at him and laughed. It was sight you must have wanted to see. Ron's mouth was surrounded by big specks of chocolate frosting. There was a ketchup drop on his cheek, and his hands were shoveling these onto his plate: hard, hot, and blackened toast; a tiny container of salty butter; another slice of cranberry cake with chocolate frosting; spoonful of mashed potatoes; and last, but not least, a chicken wing.
They roared with laughter and Hermione chose this moment to wipe the red ketchup drop off of his dirty cheek. He looked down and wiped his mouth, embarrassed.(A/N: Nawwwwwwwwww!) Then, he looked back up at Harry and Hermione with a puzzled face, "Well? Are you going to tell me?"
Hermione sighed rather heavily and said, "Have you heard a word of what I said before?"
Ron nodded. The, he shook his head and blushed, "No, I don't…think so…"
Hermione rolled her eyes once more and repeated what she had told Harry. Then, she whispered, "…and when he walked in, he was wearing… green, pink-polka-dotted shorts, a sleeveless yellow shirt, and a birthday cone hat! I have no idea why he chose to dress that way, seriously. Maybe it was the age getting to him. But I'm one hundred percent certain that Professor McGonagall wasn't pleased. She just pursed her lips like this," and Hermione demonstrated, making her own lips look like a thin pink line separating the top of her face from the bottom of it, "and said, 'I assume that Headmaster Dumbledore wanted to put in some words?' We all cracked up. The ENTIRE prefect meeting was laughing their heads off. But you haven't heard the weirdest part yet – "
Ron interrupted, "Look who's coming our way…" under his breath.
Hermione did. All hail, the prince of Slytherin was approaching!
