Marshmallow Madness

This is in response to a request by Ez. He wanted something like it and this is what I came up with. It might be expanded on in the future. Anything in this section has not been read by a beta and will not unless I expand on it. Hate it, Like it, your choice. I'm just writing it for my humour.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or Ghostbusters.

Outside Hogsmeade

"Harry, wait up," cried Ron as he stumbled on a loose piece of rock. He now knew how his food felt when he was eating. "Don't leave me to die!"

"Confringo," Harry said as he swung his wand around and watched the blasting curse tear a chunk out of the leg of the creature chasing them. "Get up! Run!"

When Ron finally caught up to him, he chanced a look back at the creature. To his horror, the wound he inflicted was healing. "Damn," he muttered. "This is so not happening. I must be dreaming or something. Fred and George must have laced my drink."

"Less talking and more running," screamed Hermione as she re-joined them. "Head for that cave. We can hide there. He's too big to fit in. I hope."

The trio made it into the cave just as the creature came around the bend. "You know," Ron breathed. "If I wasn't so scared, I'd be hungry. What is that thing anyway? I mean, here we are walking around Hogsmeade and that thing shows up."

"Stay Puft," Harry said as he peaked out of the cave. "I think he missed us. He seems to be heading off into the forest."

"Stay Puft?" Ron said in confusion. "What's that?"

"Honestly Ron," berated Hermione. "I don't know how wizards survive while isolating themselves from the rest of the world. Stay Puft is a fictional character from the film Ghostbusters. It is…"

"What's a film," Ron interrupted. "And is a Ghostbuster something like that dustbuster my dad has in his shed?"

"Can I kill him," Hermione begged in frustration. "Please. I'll do whatever you want."

"Not yet," Harry said with a smile. "We still need him. He can be a distraction while we run."

"Hey," protested Ron. "Why do I have to be the distraction? Anyway, I'm hungry."

"Only you," Hermione said as she slapped her face.

"Don't blame me," Harry said. "You're the one engaged to him."

"Don't remind me," she said. "Anyway, where to? Hogwarts is under lockdown."

"How about Diagon Alley," Harry suggested. "We should be able to apparate there."

Diagon Alley

"What happened here," asked Ron as they looked around the carnage. There was white gooey stuff everywhere. "And what is this stuff?"

"Stay Puft was here," Harry commented. "Someone must be transporting him. There is no way he made it here that fast. And that is marshmallows."

Ron's head perked up at that. "Marshmallows? That thing is made of marshmallows? Why are we running from it?"

"For one thing, it's big," said Harry. "Second, it's trying to kill us. Three…"

Harry was cut off as a large rumbling sound stirred the birds nesting in the wreckage of Madame Malkins. "He's back."

"Run," screamed Hermione. "Ron, what are you doing? He'll step on you."

"Don't worry," Ron commented. "He's food. I've never run from food and never will."

"Get back here, you idiot."

They could only watch in horror as Ron stalked up Stay Puft and tried to bite into his foot. "He's mental. He's finally gone around the bend," said Hermione.

"Well, you chose him," Harry said.

"Don't get me started…"

"Help…," Ron screamed as Stay Puft picked him up.

"Hold on a minute," said Hermione. "I'm having a discussion with Harry."

"Ahh."

"Now, don't get me started on your choices. You're the one who hooked up with the Slytherin. I mean, what were you thinking. She was promised to Draco."

"Hey, she was very cute. I can't help that I have very good taste."

"Help me. He's trying to eat me," Ron screamed as he used his feet to push away from Stay Puft's mouth.

"One minute," Harry screamed.

"Ahh."

"Daphne Greengrass was promised to Draco."

"Yes, I know."

"And you took her virginity."

"Yes, your point?"

"Draco no longer wanted her then and you had to pay her family a large compensation plus the agreement to marry her."

"And where is the down side here? I have lots of money and I am engaged."

"Urrgh. You can be so aggravating sometime."

"Noooo."

They turned back just in time to see Stay Puft swallow Ron.

"That's going to give him indigestion," Harry said.

"How could you say that," Hermione said shocked. "He was your best friend."

"And your point was?" he said. "Now I'm afraid that your time is up."

"What…"

She was cut off as Harry banished her into the waiting mouth of Stay Puft who promptly swallowed her.

"Thanks Luna," Harry yelled.

Upon hearing him, Stay Puft began to morph until it took the form of a young human female with blonde hair. "No problem. I don't often get the chance to change into my animagus form. Though I do believe you were right when you said Ron would give me indigestion. Hope you have a good wedding."

Greengrass Manor

"It's done," Harry said. "They are gone."

"How'd you do it," asked Daphne's mother. "Throw them off cliff?"

"No, Stay Puft ate them," Harry said. "Now that I have completed my part of the bargain, I wish to get married today."

The End
