Charmolypi

Chapter 128

The following day everyone filed into the Great Hall and took their respective seats, but, additionally to the normal set us, there was couch set up that looked as if it was summoned directly from Camp Half-Blood. One main four-seater couch that had a lot of patchwork, two seats that would accommodate two people each, and what looked like a few bean bags. The demigods and the wizards quickly gathered in that area and took their seats as of it was something that they did every day.

James and Lily looked slightly disappointed at the fact that they young Potters didn't sit next to them. Meanwhile, Marlene kept looking toward Thea and Percy that were seated on one of the individual couches, with Matteo leaning on Thea's leg. Leo, who was taking a seat on the beanbag right beside Matteo, tried to argue with the wizard, but quickly stopped when he saw that Thea was toying with his hair.

"The movie's ready," Ted announced as he finished setting up the following movie.

"Which movie are we watching?" Harry asked, grabbing the goblet that had pumpkin juice.

Ted picked up the list that was and read the title out loud. "It's the prisoner of Azkaban," the muggle-born said, causing Harry to slightly snort out his juice.

The boy who lived started coughing violently, alarming the Marauders. Sirius handed him a napkin and a goblet of water. Harry gratefully accepted what was handed to him, and looked at his sister, who was trying not to laugh.

"I think it's better to just start the movie," Thea announced when she saw that several students were going to ask about the title of the movie. Thea nodded at Ted, and he played the film before hurrying back to his seat.

The black screen showed the title of the movie, before it zoomed in on a street. The street had many houses and they all looked similar. The view focused on one specific house, as the sound of a telephone ringing was heard.

Vernon Dursley walked across the living room and picked up the telephone. "Vernon Dursley speaking," he said casually.

"Is that-?" Thea started, and Harry instantly nodded his head furiously, a shit eating grin on his face. Thea turned to Ron, who's face was as red as his hair at that point.

"What's happening?" James asked, but he was instantly dismissed as many of the wizards cracked up laughing.

"You'll see," Harry simply said.

Harry, who was in the room as well, froze when he heard the yelling coming from the phone. "HELLO? HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? I — WANT — TO — TALK — TO — HARRY — POTTER!"

Ron was yelling so loudly that Uncle Vernon jumped and held the receiver a foot away from his ear, staring at it with an expression of mingled fury and alarm.

"WHO IS THIS?" Vernon roared in the direction of the mouthpiece. "WHO ARE YOU?"

"RON — WEASLEY!" Ron bellowed back, as though he and Uncle Vernon were speaking from opposite ends of a football field. "I'M — A — FRIEND — OF — HARRY'S — FROM — SCHOOL —"

The majority of the hall, specifically the muggle-born and the half-bloods, burst out laughing, leaving the purebloods to look extremely confused, not understanding what they were seeing.

"Did he really do that?" Remus wheezed, clutching his gut from how hard he was laughing.

"I can't believe it," Lily laughed out, whipping a tear.

"What is that device?" James asked, truly confused.

"And why is everyone laughing?" Sirius added.
