Just a short one for some laughs - our Golden Trio has so many bizarre inside jokes that it leaves everyone baffled... or do they?
"But Ron, I don't understand," said Harry as they walked through the halls of the castle. "You're making less sense than a jiggling Puffskein!"
Dean Thomas whipped his head around as he passed the pair, trying to decipher Harry's words. After a few moments, he just shook his head and ran off, missing how the boys' laughter filled the hall.
"You're such a prat, Seamus!" Ron yelled across the dormitory.
"At least I don't worry about someone trying to roast a marshmallow on my flaming red hair!" Seamus retorted, his face screwed up in anger.
"Merlin, you're just as bad as a truffling Snargaluff!"
At this, Harry's head popped up, and he made eye contact with Ron. Neither teen could hold back their laughter, and as they left the dormitory in high spirits, Seamus decided he really, really did not want to know.
Hermione had a sly smile on her face as Harry's hand shot into the air.
"Professor McGonagall," he said, "I don't quite understand how this can even work, I mean there are no real similarities between the-"
"Mr. Potter," Professor McGonagall interrupted, "perhaps if you paid more attention to last week's lesson, you would comprehend this rather simple Switching Spell."
"Excuse me, ma'am," Hermione said in a sickly-sweet tone. "Harry would have paid attention last week, but he was a bit preoccupied handling the jumping Horklump of a situation in the Gryffindor common room."
Harry couldn't contain his laughter, grabbing Hermione's hand and tearing out of the room to compose themselves. Professor McGonagall spent the remainder of the class questioning the other students on the meaning of Hermione's words, frustrated when all of them expressed her same exasperation.
Back in the hall, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were doubled over in laughter.
"D'you think anyone will figure it out?" Harry gasped, a beaming smile across his face.
"What?" said Hermione, resting her hands on her knees. "That none of these ridiculous phrases mean anything?"
Ron shook his head, catching his breath. "Not even a chance!"
