The Ravenclaws were waging an epic food fight. One enterprising Ravenclaw started transfiguring the food, and they could see purple tentacles and green pustules being flung about.

“I have to admit, though, I may have to hear that story eventually. Anything that starts out with ‘Slytherin Keeper’s head’ and finishes with ‘slams into pole’ sounds pretty good to me.”

“Hi, Darla. Have a seat, join the party. It’s ‘Pick on Me’ day. Have you gotten lunch yet?”

“Well, I was thinking about getting a line lunch, but after seeing what’s on your plate, I’m not so sure. What is it, anyway?”

“Second Thursday of the Month Beef Special.”

“What’s it taste like?”

“…Beef?”

“That was a question, wasn’t it?”

It's a worthy movie: lots of gratuitous violence, unrealistic fight scenes, and scantily clad females galore – light on anything that might resemble a plot or reality.

“Does the phrase ‘grounded for life’ mean anything to you?”

“You can mess with me if you so please, there’s five big hulking’ bruisers like you and only one of little me. But it’ll cost you. I’ll give you pain you’ll feel for a week afterwards. I’m a med student, y’know. I know exactly the effect of my boot in your groin, how much it will hurt, how many blood vessels I can rupture, how long it will take until your girlfriend will find you useful again.”

“I want to be perfectly clear on this. You’re a nice guy, and you’re a valuable member of this team, never forget that. I’m glad she picked you. And if you break her heart, I’ll tie you into a pretzel and shove you out the airlock. You know that, right?”

There is a particular punishment, doled out for certain crimes. The guilty party’s wings are bound and he or she is cast out from a tower far above the clouds. The higher the tower, the longer the fall and the time spent thinking about one’s sins. Legend says some find religion on the way down, but the hard ground believes only in itself.

“I found your journal.”

“My what?” Clark looked genuinely puzzled.

“Your journal. I guess your mom gave it to you.”

The light turned on in Clark’s head. “You found my journal? In the back corner of the closet, under an old box of weights, beneath the carpet, standing on end and wrapped in burlap? That journal?”

“I was snooping. It’s what I do.”

“I’ve found you up here in the snow before.”

“I was drunk. How many times do we have to have the discussion about how my drunken exploits can not be used as evidence for my normal behaviour?”

“I’d listen to the discussion if your drunken exploits weren’t your normal behaviour. But they totally are.”

Werewolves did not knit. James made a minute adjustment to his binoculars and peered through them once more, certain that his eyes must be deceiving him. But it was true. His friend Remus Lupin, whom James strongly suspected was going to morph into a werewolf in just under two hours, was helping the school nurse with her knitting. Her knitting! James reckoned that if any of Remus’s fellow lycanthropes could see him now, they’d chuck him out of their creatures of the night club.

“Just what did you take from them, Jonathan?”

Jonathan chuckled nervously. “Ah, well, let’s just say that it’s something quite valuable to me.”

“It was something that belonged to Evie, and you lost it in a bet, so now you have used your dubious charms to get back, wasn’t it.”

Jonathan blinked. “How did you know?”

“How long have you known?”

She raised her eyebrow. “Is that really what you want to ask first? Because I thought it’d be ‘how did I find out’?”

“That’s sort of neck and neck with ‘how mad are you’?”

“That looks suspiciously like a ring, William.”

“It does go by that name in most English speaking countries.”

“I don’t want to read too much into this, but most girls would assume that the presence of a ring implies an offer.”

“Well then, for clarification’s sake, an offer is definitely implied.”

“And by offer you would not actually be meaning a ride in your Bentley where we would be going to say...”

The griffin knew that the mouse was blind, and thus had no idea that he was having tea with an enormous monster that, despite the foreparts of a dodo, nevertheless posessed a carnivorous feline stomach. But it’s lonely being a monster, particularly when your front half is extinct, and so he pretended to be a much smaller creature, and drank tea very cautiously out of the mouse-sized teacups, and kept his voice down to a whisper whenever he visited the mouse. The mouse was, indeed, blind (being descended from one of a moderately famous trio) but was also nobody’s fool, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with his hearing. The griffin’s breathing couldn’t come from anything smaller than a bull elk. He occasionally wondered if he should offer his guest a bigger teacup (or possibly a barrel) but figured that if the griffin wasn’t going to say anything about it, neither was he.

“He was also the club’s owner. So a little leeway can be expected…”

“A little leeway? He was firing a BB Gun at the gardeners!”

“Well they’ve been slacking off a bit lately and he hardly ever hits them. The point is even he doesn’t use real weapons, which is against policy on this course.”

“Oh. So I guess me using that bazooka on the second hole in order to make it bigger…”

“No, but then again I’ve never seen anyone set fire to a caddy.”

“Why not?” he asked her.

“So what?”

“Pale means sickly.”

“Or sunscreen.”

“Or Mad Cow Disease.” she retorted.

“Pale does not mean Mad Cow Disease.” he said, rolling his eyes.

“Have you ever had Mad Cow Disease?”

“Twice last week and my coloring was wonderful.”
