This one is a bit longer, and I don't like it as much, but it was fun to write. It also takes place during 5th year. Hope you enjoy!

Student: Susan Bones
Prompt: Panda


Bones, Susan

They probably wouldn't win the Quidditch Cup, but Hufflepuff had beat Slytherin and as always, a win resulted in a celebration.

"Are you sure that is pumpkin juice?" Hannah asked, eyeing Susan's glass suspiciously. It looked a little off-color and it was her third glass. Susan had never enjoyed pumpkin juice that much before. Hannah was almost convinced that someone had added Firewhiskey to it.

"Of course it is!" Susan defended, holding her glass close to her. She looked absolutely shocked that Hannah would even accuse her juice of being anything else. Susan would never do anything against the rules. Ever.

Just then, Ernie and Justin entered the common room, looking surprisingly sullen. Justin's robes were messed up and Ernie's eye was a dark shade of purple. They came over and sat down on the large plush couch with Hannah, ignoring the party around them. Hannah gasped when she saw Ernie's eye and quickly asked what happened.

"Crabbe and Goyle were upset about the match," Ernie started, "They called Justin a mudblood so I- Susan, what are you doing?"

In the mere seconds since they had sat down, Susan had run over to Ernie and studied his face closely. When she had finished her scrutiny, she stood up proudly and declared, "You look like a panda!"

"A panda?"

"Yeah!" Susan insisted, "Like the ones in China!"

"Ignore her," Hannah said, falling to the floor with a squeak when Susan suddenly pushed into her place on the couch. "Somebody spiked the pumpkin juice."

"I like pandas," Susan stated excitedly. She seemed to think for a moment before kissing Ernie soundly on the lips. She smiled wildly and proceeded to dash into the girls' dormitories, her braid trailing behind her.

Ernie seemed to be frozen and Justin was suddenly aware of Hannah laughing uncontrollably, holding Susan's pumpkin juice.

"What's wrong?" Justin asked, his worry for his friend growing.

Hannah smirked and held the glass out to Justin. "It's just plain pumpkin juice! Susan acted like that on purpose!" She winked and turned to Ernie.

"Do you want a bamboo shoot, Mr. Panda?"
