Chapter Two
The students of Hogwarts stumbled into the Great Hall for their Halloween feast. Dumbledore had just made them do a 30 minute jog. He had decided that they would do this every Friday morning because, as they didn't have a gym class, his students would most likely become lazy and overweight if they were not involved in some regular physical activity. Needless to say our favourite witches and wizards (and all the ones we aren't to fond of) were positively parched.
Ronald Weasley was so excited when he saw the jugs of pumpkin juice he almost knocked over the gryffindor table. He sat down and anxiously waited for Hermione and Harry to join him. As soon as everyone was seated Dumbledore stood up for the daily announcements and then told them to dig in. The students of Hogwarts swiftly lifted their goblets and drank their pumpkin juice as fast as was physically possible.
Once all the jugs of pumpkin juice had been drained the famished children dug into the large amounts of food. All the teachers smiled at their students over their food. It was the first time that all the residents of Hogwarts had been in the Great Hall at the same time since the beginning of the year. Some of the house tables were so crowded that the students were mingling and sitting with other houses. It was a great display of house unity and everyone was happy. Well, almost everyone.
Colin Creevey had just been booted out of his new spot at the Ravenclaw table by a hungry seventh year. Scowling, he moved to an open spot at the next table. Unfortunately, in his hunger blind stupor, he had taken a spot at the Slytherin table, directly across from non other than Pansy Parkinson.
Pansy saw the Colin taking the seat and reaching for food and angrily slammed her goblet down on the table. Hearing this brought Colin back to reality, and he finally realized his surroundings. He looked up in fear only to be met with the enraged face of Pansy Parkinson.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING SITTING ACROSS FROM ME YOU LITTLE GRYFF-" BANG! Colin blinked twice and stared at the space where Pansy Parkinson had been sitting only moments ago. The whole hall was silent. Everyone had stopped eating except, of course, Ron Weasely who was still attacking his food with frightening intensity.
Breaking the silence Draco Malfoy jumped to his feet.
"YES! THAT WAS BLOODY BRILLIANT!" He did a small dance that could only be one of victory, and skipped out of the hall singing something that sounded suspiciously like "Pansy's gone lalala" over and over again.
"Students, could you please evacuate the hall. The professors and I must deal with this situation. Prefects please escort your houses back to your common rooms. Thank-you." Dumbledore announced turning to the professors and motioning them towards the Slytherin table.
The students stood silently making their way to the door, all of them staring fixedly at the spot where Pansy Parkinson had just exploded.
