What if...

The Super Bowl

In a colourful landscape with its exact location unknown, twelve competitors of various backgrounds, shapes and sizes competed ferociously in a battle filled with danger, pursuit, and magic. The winner of this chaotic event was yet to be decided, but no one could ever be sure of who the victor would be, as nothing was predictable.

"On god, bro, this shit be bussin', for real, no cap." Neville stated while playing as Dry Bowser as he passed Hermione, who was playing as Koopa Troopa.

"What the fuck did you just say?" Draco questioned as he turned to Neville, sadly losing first place as a result, being passed by Ginny. "Oh, that's bullshit!"

"Sounds like a skill issue to me- aw, who threw the blue shell?" Ginny complained as the icon appeared on her screen.

"That'd be me." Harry smirked as Luigi drifted past Baby Peach, entering first.

"Oh, fuck off, Harry!" Ginny moaned.

"Sucks to suck- ah shit!" Harry got a bomb lobbed at him from behind, losing his position once again.

"Haha! This game is rather enjoyable!" Luna cheered as she commandeered the leading position.

"Someone kill her!" Draco yelled.

"Already on it." Hermione chucked a red shell out, only for it to hit Neville.

"Agh! Friendly fire!" He shouted in complaint.

"There is no friendly fire in Mario Kart." Hermione smirked, taking second place.

"Yeah, there is. Nice weather we're having!" Harry made polite small talk as he nailed her with a banana.

"Oh. I guess that technically proves me wrong." Hermione shrugged.

"I won! Woohoo!" Luna chirped.

"FUCK!" Draco and Harry screamed together. Usually, being this loud and aggressive with Luna would be a bad idea, but since they were such good friends, it was always guaranteed that no one actually meant anything they said to anyone present. That was just how a strong friendship worked.

"I think we need to have a rematch." Ginny declared.

"No, we said we'd play Mario Party after this." Hermione reminded her.

"Or we could go outside and get some fresh air." Neville suggested. The rest of the group stared at him for a few seconds. "Yeah, stupid idea, what was I thinking." He waved his hand.

"What about Super Mario Bros?" Draco rationalised.

"Eh, you can only have four players in that." Harry said.

"Well, the same goes for Mario Kart, and we hacked that." Hermione responded.

"Speaking of which, how did you do that?" Neville asked her.

"Oh, it was just a bit of simple magic." Hermione shrugged. "It was surprisingly similar to casting a patronus."

"Yeah, and it still shocks me that Draco was able to cast one." Neville said jokingly.

"What? Of course I could cast one, Neville, don't be ridiculous." Draco turned his nose up at the other boy.

"Well, I thought you had to have a pure heart." Neville continued.

"That's actually a myth, you just have to think happy things. Even Voldemort could cast one, he's just constantly ticked off." Hermione corrected.

"Besides, my heart is pure. Pure, unadulterated badass." Draco smirked.

"Pfft, more like pure unadulterated ego." Harry muttered with a grin.
