Ooc: Thanks for reading my intermission, excerpt, whatever… Now, back to the story…

That afternoon, the new Trio went down to Hagrid’s Hut and was surprised to see a lot of people turned up. Professor Binns was also there.
Neville said, “Professor Binns! Why are you here?”
He replied, in his usual monotonous and droning voice, “I’ve just been informed by the Ministry that I would take over the Headmasters’ job until… ah… he gets sobered. The reason why I’m here is because I’m a former ballet dancer meself and I would like to see or participate on the occasion.” He then snapped his fingers when he saw Neville’s head lopsided and he was drooling.
Neville woke up. “Huh… What??? Sorry, Professor, could you repeat what you just said.” [The professor obliged, but I’m too tired to write it again, so I give now the mic to Hagrid.]
“Okay people, look there to your right!!! It’s Orlando Bloom!!!” The crowd did as what was told. Meanwhile, on their left side, Dumbledore run up to the castle stripped of his clothes and catching the warm breeze. Hagrid and Fang, who saw this, shook their heads, let out a heavy sigh and pondered on the meanings of life. Draco then said, “Where’s he???”
“Oh, never mind that. I just saw “Return of the King” yesterday and I can’t get him out of my head. Now, everyone, I want all of you to pick a costume in this box.” Hagrid brought out a box and all rushed in and began picking up clothes.
Harry and Neville were fortunate enough to get mime costumes while Hermione got a pink tutu with laces and trimmings, don’t forget the confetti!!!
“Now, the leads are chosen by their costumes. The girl, I hope, who got the tutu and the lad in purple tights, please come forward.”
Hermione did, but only after Harry pushed her forward. Her partner is unsurprisingly, Draco. [Snapey could’ve looked good in it, but, I have to follow the dare, so…]
“Looking good, Malfoy!!!” and Hermione whistled.
“Oh, shut up!!! If it weren’t for Medraut, I wouldn’t do this!!!” He then looked in the crowd and saw Medraut smiling, waving and taking pictures with her Polaroid camera.
“Now then, follow me!!!” Hagrid started with an Arabesque, and he nearly fell down. He then did a Jete, and after completing it, the ground trembled and a big crack emerged.
“Allow me!!!” Professor Binns stepped into the limelight and he started twirling, hopping, tiptoeing, stuff like that.
I commented, “Good show, Professor. But I suggest you do that when THEY are watching!!!”
He saw the crowd lying on the ground and sleeping. Professor Binns, who never had a care in the world, danced the night away.

Ooc: I got the ballet terms are from an encyclopedia, in case you’re all wondering…
