"You seriously aren't expecting us to build a slide all by ourselves…are you?" Andrea asked, looking at Hermione as though fearing for her sanity.
"Of course not. We're going to hire a building crew. I think that if we pool our money, then we'll probably be able to get a slide built," said Hermione. "I would never try to build a slide by myself!"
"That's good," said Andrea.
So the two girls looked in the Wizarding Phone Book, and they found some builder guys in the Yellow Pages who might be able to build them a slide ("Bob's Construction"). The guys said they would be coming the next day, and Hermione and Andrea were not really prepared for that. They didn't have any money left with them to stay in a hotel!
Until, that is, the builder guys (who had backwards baseball caps on, hair that went down past their shoulders, striped shirts, butt cracks poking out of their jeans, were hairy, and were fat, more often than not) decided that Hermione and Andrea were so pretty that they would do the job for free.
"Oh…no, let me just pay you a little bit for all your hard work," said Hermione, when the slide was finished. Andrea, rolling her eyes at this, thrust some money into the builder guys' hands and they looked so excited about it.
"Nice thing to do, pretty!" yelled one builder guy over his hairy shoulder, scratching himself with one hand, a beer can in the other. Then he let out a massive burp and laughed, while putting his arms up. His armpits were so hairy. Hermione and Andrea thought that they were going to throw up or something.
"That. Is. So. Gross," said Andrea.
"Well, they did build the slide for us," said Hermione, trying to look on the bright side, although she was thinking the same thing that Andrea was saying. They went to the top of the slide. Andrea smiled at Hermione.
"Here, you can go first," she said. "I went first last time…"
"Oh, well, okay," said Hermione, even though it was pretty understandable why she wouldn't want to go down another slide, given what had happened the last time she had gone down one. Then she thought of Edward and everybody…and she smiled, thinking that it was worth it. And then she "surfed" down the slide, just like Andrea.
"Goodbye, goodbye!" said Andrea, then she climbed up the freshly built metal stairs to the top of the slide, and then riding down it…actually, "surfing", just like Hermione had, and she had done another time. "BACK TO THE FUTURE!"
