My EEFFD: Squid Bait
Part one:
The trio enters the Great Hall for Breakfast on a Monday morning. It was a great weekend; they had gone to Honeydukes and were still buzzing off the sugar high. They found it odd that everyone was quiet. They sat down at the Gryffindor table and waited to see what Dumbledore wished to announce.
“I have a quick announcement I need to say before we may eat.” Dumbledore says. He has an odd look to him; he seems to have lost some weight. “If anyone has any fried Octopus, you must turn it in to me at once! Anyone found with fried octopus with out giving it to me will be expelled immediately.”
Harry looks at Ron and says “What’s going on? Why can’t he just go down to the kitchens and ask for some?”
“I reckon they don’t have any, I have never seen any served here before.” Ron answers. “Hey do you guys hear that? What’s Malfoy complaining about now?”
Ron and Harry turn to see Draco Malfoy, proud Slytherin, to be arguing with a Hufflepuff prefect.
“I don’t care what the sorting hat said! I want to be in your house!” Malfoy yells.
“Why do you want to be a Hufflepuff? I thought you loved Slytherin.” The prefect answers curtly.
“Oh yes, I did but look at the people who are in my house.” Malfoy says and he points to Crabbe and Goyle. “They’re the biggest idiots in the school!” Malfoy said.
“Well, you will just have to live with it.” The prefect said.
“Wait till I tell my dad.” Malfoy growls as he walks away.
As Hermione is heading for her Charms class, alone since she has a different schedule than Harry and Ron, she sees Dumbledore entering the kitchen. She quickly follows him to see what is going on. She overhears him speaking to Dobby.
“What do you don’t have any fried octopus? What am I paying you for then?” Dumbledore rages.
“You may have this sir.” Dobby said and he holds up a tray with half and orange on it.
Dumbledore grabs the orange and throws it so it lands on Winky’s nose. “You’re lucky I don’t fire you” He said as he storms out.
Hermione is shocked by this outburst and rushes in to see if Dobby and Winky are ok. She sees Winky sitting by the fire drinking butterbeer and completely ignoring the orange on her nose. She then spots Dobby smashing his head in to the wall.
“Dobby, stop that!” Hermione shrieks. “It’s not your fault Dumbledore has gone mental. Please stop,” Hermione says as she attempts to pull Dobby away from the wall.
“Okay, I will stop. But I need to find my master some octopus.” Dobby replies.
“Don’t worry, he will either find some himself or just give up.” Hermione says, trying to comfort Dobby. Hermione quickly leaves without as much as a glance at Winky.
When Hermione enters the common room later she finds Harry and Ron busily working on their homework. As she gets closer she realizes that they are actually painting Colin Creevy brown.
“Stop that!” Hermione yells as she casts a spell that cleans Colin and sets him free. She then snatches up the tube of brown paint they were using. “What do you think you guys are doing!?”
“Well he’s always annoying Harry, so we decided to include him in some of our fun.” Ron replies with a grin.
“I told you Ron, we should have used that paint from Fred, the one that doesn’t come off with magic.” Harry said, still engrossed in the thought of painting Creevy.
Suddenly a first year screamed and pointed out the window. “It- it- it’s Dumbledor!” The little girl screamed.
Harry instantly looked out the window and ran for the lake, with Ron and Hermione right behind him.
