h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Eating, drinking, enjoying the company,
Tom looks around, glad to see no frumpery.
Laughs at Neville,
Calms the tree he hit,
Drinks all the mead he sees,
Thinks to whistle for a bit.

*lifts a feline eyebrow at Peeves. thinks, "Ah, the invited poltergeist has arrived." *

*poltergeist with wicked dark eyes and a wide mouth swoops in*

Hee hee heeeeeee...

*hurls a at Hermione*

*hurls a at Sirius*

*starts singing in a raucous voice*

Oh Potter, you rotter...

*adores all small soft furry things and throws balls of silver foil for all those that are prepared to chase and retrieve them*

*is also quite fond of poltergeists and their devil may care attitude*

*has also drunk rather alot of the excellent mead*

hic

*looking up at all the noise, Hermione snatches up her wand, which is neatly lined up next to her fork, and the tomato is thinly sliced in mid-air, becoming a garnish on guests' plates*

*blushes in case the teachers think she was showing off*

*pulls Mrs Norris' tail*



*starts swooping in small circles above Mad Eye Moody, causing the the mad eye to swivel madly in its socket*

Where did this sliced tomato come from?

Peeves, I would just like to remind you of the bell, book and candle routine. The dear old CofE has just admitted to having a Ministry of Deliverance fron Evil, headed by the Bishop of Reading.

*sniggers up sleeve*

*Is destracted from quizing Gandalf by a large pile of food. Hears someone mention bringing gifts, slaps his hand to his forehead, and gives a shout*

Ah! Bringing gifts! I'd totally forgotten. It is our custom in Hobbiton, you see, that people give gifts on their own birthdays, and recieve them on other peoples'. I'd forgotten it was the other way 'round here!!

*Arl knows this to be a lame, though in character, excuse, and discreetly places two parcels on the table with the presents*

*makes a loud, rude sound, like the air being let out of a balloon*

Pffffffft!

**swoshes across the hall*

*pulls Mrs Norris' tail again*

*hides in Quidditch salad bowl*

"Miaow!!!!!" *eyes go wide and she chases after Peeves for a minute. then sits on the wall opposite to where the is now and licks a paw, looking quite disgruntled*

*throws a silver foil ball for Mrs Norris to play with, if she wants to that is*

*starts munching on *

Smeagol, or is it Gollum, how nice to see you, preciuosssssssssssss

*darts out of the bowl spreading salad all around*

*drops a balloon filled with water over Gollum*





*pulls Mrs Norris' tail again*

*hides in one of the side dishes, disguised as one of the Every Flavour Beans*

*bats at the silver foil ball and avoids Peeves tail pull *

ssso niccce to sssee you, too...cant ssstay for long, however...got to sssleeep ssssometime, and im going to wear out thissss s key if i ssstay on for too long

*enjoys the water bath *

*cranes neck and artfully catches a Peeves-scattered strawberry in her mouth*

Tsk tsk tsk. Peeves, you are deplorable!

*Helps herself to a fresh and tries to conceal her amusement at the hijinks.*

* Picks up Neville with one hand, and removes the gifts from his hair with the other *

I am not a tree, young man-child, and I believe these belong to you. One must learn to go slowly, like an Ent.
