Hi, I just got back today.
Yay! My temporary insanity is over!
No more crazy,
No more mad
No more in—sane
No more bad
No more stuff,
That would be considered evidence for me to be institutionalised in an insane asylum,
Wait, that didn't rhyme…
I guess I spoke too soon. Ah well, nothing wrong with being crazy. Only kidding, I'm joking! Or am I?
Hmm…
Hmm…
Well… You do realize that I'm just stalling you before you get to read the story? What? Why would I do that? Oh, that's easy, I'm evil! XD
XD
*Hums the loony tunes song*
XD
My sister thinks I'm going crazy because I now enjoy typing. My life for the past two weeks had been dedicated to reading fics, writing fics, listening to music while reading fics, listening to music while writing fics, dreaming about fics, talking about fics, thinking about fics and playing chess with my dad so that he can allow me to go online to get fics.
She's worried for me, I swear. Hmm…. What to ramble on about now…
Oh my, I forgot I'm supposed to be writing a story! Oh, silly me. I think my brain's fried from listening, non-stop for the past two weeks to Shannon Noll, Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift and the Shrek Soundtrack.
Back in Hermione's room, she and Ginny & were talking about every random subject they could think of, and Ginny had still not brought up why she was examining Sirius's food.
"I wonder when the ABF is going to make an appearance" Ginny said, conversationally. Hermione looked at her, puzzled "The Amazing Bouncing Ferret, I'm trying to get it to catch on" She explained. Hermione started giggling.
Hermione had just begun to think that she was in the clear, when Ginny suddenly said "So, about telling Sirius…"
Hermione sighed and let Ginny continue "Actually, you're off the hook. I won't tell Sirius if you do one thing…" The brunette groaned, she should have been expecting that she'd blackmail her. "Show me what you're going to do with The Ferret's wand." Ginny requested with a mischievous smile on her face.
Hermione was surprised, she figured it would be something she really didn't want to do. She said "Ok, then. Watch my master plan, Operation: Fooling The Ferret" with a smile, she led Ginny back to the Common Room and took Draco's wand out of her pocket.
She waved the wand a few times and muttered a spell. Next to the table, a small square of lush red & gold carpet rose up and laid itself on the table. Hermione tapped Draco's wand twice on the revealed patch of wooden floor. A trapdoor appeared. When Ginny asked how she knew it was there, Hermione answered "I didn't, I made it. Fred & George gave me the spell, depending on how many times you tap the floor, either a small compartment will appear, a small cellar or a large room.". Ginny shook her head and said "Those guys really do have some good spells. But, I guess they had to use it a few times to hide their stuff from Mum."
Hermione opened the trapdoor and a small compartment was revealed. Hermione tore two pieces of thread from her clothes and transfigured them into a pen and notepad. She wrote on it:
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Hi Ferret.
I am surprised, you found it! Oh well, still no wand… Oops, did I say it was here? My mistake, I meant that it was right above your head! That poor wand, it has to suffer staring at your face all day.
Do you know, not very many people look up?
Have a nice day,
The Bookworm
PS: I would have thought you would have learned this by now: XD means burnt clothes… Or Hair!
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
She then tore out the paper and put in the compartment. Then she wrote another note:
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
Hi Ferret,
I know *sigh* you want to kill me! Well, that's expected. I've been thinking to myself, 'Well,' I thought 'If the Ferret wants to kill me when I don't do anything to him, then how about when I do do something to him'. It seems to be perfect logic to me.
Then again, you're just wanting to kill me more, aren't you? Well, I might as well make the best of it!
Look, I pity you, so here's a hint!
Near the table
Under the carpet,
Ruin your perfect fingernails,
To try and get it out.
Toodles,
The Mudblood
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD
And put this one on the door that led to Draco's bedroom.
Hermione cast a spell to put the carpet back in place and mend it, then used her own wand to levitate Draco's wand to the ceiling and used a temporary sticking charm to keep it there. She set it so that if he didn't get the wand in an hour after reading the second note, then the wand would hit him on the head until he grabbed it.
When she told Ginny what would happen, her jaw hit the floor. "Hermione!" She said in awe "Are you sure you're you?" Ginny asked.
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked, confused. Ginny put her hands on her hips and started listing what she meant "You wanted a makeover, you kept a secret, you flirted with Sirius Black, you did it for a laugh, you played a prank on Malfoy, you are still playing a prank on him and here's the biggie: You're breaking the rules!" By the end, Hermione was torn between laughing and blushing. "It's not like I don't like it, I just want to know why, so I can make sure you're always like this!" She continued.
Hermione was about to answer, when she heard The ABF's voice talking to Salazar Slytherin. She quickly stopped what she had been about to say, and bolted to her bedroom. Ginny followed, and when they were both in, Hermione cast several wards on the room and made the door see-through to the girls, but not do Draco.
Hermione had just finished casting the spells when The Ferret burst into the room, Hermione could have sworn that smoke was coming out of his ears. He had apparently gotten a new pair of pants, as he was fully-clothed.
He spun around and took the note from the door. As soon as he read it, his clothes burned up again, this time his shirt.
He swore again, but didn't bother to get another shirt. Hermione and Ginny raised their brows at the sight of his chest. He was well muscled and everything all of Draco's flings said he was, but neither Hermione or Ginny were attracted to him in the slightest. Handsome: yes, well muscled: yes, but much too pale, and much too of an egotistical jerk These thoughts were going through both of the girls heads, with the added thought of never cheating on Harry in Ginny's mind.
The object of the girls scrutiny looked around and started to talk while he explored the spot that the riddle had indicated. "That little mudblood, I'll kill her when I find her. I won't even cast a spell, I'll stab her through the neck with my wand. Hey, look here this patch doesn't have any dust on it" The Ferret kneeled on the floor, just below to where Hermione had put the compartment. He began to look around the Common Room for a sharp object to cut the carpet. He got up and walked to his room, and shortly after he emerged holding a pocket knife.
In Hermione's room, Hermione giggled and waved her finger at Draco "Oh no you don't." She waved her own wand to make it impossible to use the knife on the carpet. When he tried it, he swore and threw the knife at Hermione's door. Both the girls jumped, but the knife rebounded off the door and narrowly missed The ABF's head. The Ferret snarled and began to use his perfectly-trimmed fingernails to tear at the carpet. Eventually, he managed to tear a very small hole in the fabric, from there he grabbed one side of the hole he had made and pulled, attempting to tear the carpet out.
After more nail-stripping work and pulling, Draco had managed to reveal the trapdoor, leaving all the carpet shreddings in a pile beside him. He opened the wooden door and pulled out the note. This time, his hair burned. A bald Draco engaged himself in a ten minute swearing bout before looked up and saw his wand.
He swore as he grabbed the chairs in the room and stacked them on top of each other. He had used every chair in the room before he had a several precariously balanced chairs stacked upon each other, for him to climb up and retrieve his wand.
He clambered over the chairs and reached the top of the chairs, only just managing to grab his wand and cast a Cushioning Charm before the tower of chairs fell down and the Ferret with them.
But Hermione & Ginny didn't sit through all this silently, oh no, they were laughing more than when they tricked Sirius, which was saying something. They had been holding in their giggles the entire time, but when The Ferret fell from a tower of chairs, it was the last straw. Both Hermione & Ginny burst out laughing, Hermione clutching the bedpost for support, Ginny just lying on the floor, laughing. Unfortunately, Hermione had forgotten to apply a Silencing Charm when she warded the room, and thus The ABF heard the slightly insane laughter coming from the Head Girls room.
He growled, started banging on the door and trying to wrenching it open at the same time. The two girls heard the attempts to open the door, but couldn't do anything. The sight of a bald Ferret banging on what they saw as an invisible door made them laugh even harder, if that were possible. Draco growled, but then a crafty smile spread on his face.
They want to laugh? Be my guest He thought. He pulled out his wand and cast a few spells on the door so that they wouldn't be able to get out until the end of classes tomorrow. He spelled both doors, the portrait door and the Common Room door. He grinned wickedly, knowing that the Mudblood would rather die before missing a class.
Hermione & Ginny saw none of this though, they were too busy trying to breath instead of laugh. Hermione was recovering when Ginny said, breathlessly "Well, Now he's the Amazing Bald Ferret" and they all started cracking up again
Draco went back to his room, smirking as he shut the door. The mudblood & the blood traitor were in for a surprise tomorrow.
Ok, all craziness aside, I'm at a loss here. My little brain has decided to discard the plot I was planning where someone close to Hermione gives her a potion to make her have mood swings. So, sorry for wasting your time and asking you to think of someone.
I don't want Hermione and Sirius to immediately start loving each other the next time he sees her, but I'm not sure what to do in the meantime. What I mean is, I'm not sure how to start off their relationship.
Anyway, I probably won't be updating again until after next January, so be in for a wait.
