It's December 21, 2010. The warm and insulated house protects my family from the blasting wind outside. My 12 year old brother is desperate to go outside and play in the snow, but my parents say that he's crazy and tell him to make some hot chocolate instead.
My parents are the fun type. They are strict when they want to be, but are overall loose and let me do whatever, as long as everything is planned out ahead of time. My mother, Lisa, has short and curly brown hair and is about 5'7''. My dad on the other hand, has a 5-o'clock shadow and is practically bald. Michael is his name. My mother and father are relaxing on the couch watching "Ghost Adventures". My brother trudges to the cabinet, his brown hair swept to the side of his face.
Me? I'm zoned out on Facebook, just scrolling through the endless song and movie quotes and pictures of "cute couples". I twirl my waist-long brown hair and reposition myself on the wooden chair at my desk. It is most uncomfortable and decide to go sit on the couch with my parents and watch the "Ghost Adventures" marathon. As I move my cursor from the Facebook scrollbar to the big red X at the top of my laptop's screen, I see the "1 new story" message pop up on my newsfeed. I wasn't doing anything anyways, so I click on it.

"Wow Heather, you so would." I mutter to myself with a half smile on my face. Heather loves Harry Potter, so it only fitted that she would post a link to a Harry Potter Literal Trailer. I decided to watch it.
"TOBUSCUS!" My computer screamed at me.
"That was an interesting...uh." I say to myself.
"Introductory helicopter nature shot... Bad guy at a safe distance.. Seeeeecond helicopter introductory nature shot... Bad guy at an uncomfortablyclosedistance!"
I catch my self sputtering a laugh.
"Turn. Careful, Harry, he doesn't have a noseee-ah!"
I laugh again. I'm not a huge HP fan; I've only read 3 of the books, but seen all the movies. I don't know what makes this so funny.
By the end of the 2 minute video, I'm trying to catch my breath because I've been laughing non-stop throughout the whole thing. I play it once more, slowly memorizing the lyrics as I go. I scroll through the comments, only to find things along the lines of: "OHMYGOD DYING OF LAUGHTER" or "toby, you are great". or "I am a HUGEEEEE harry Potter fan! (Woohoo!!!!) and i APPROVE THIS LITERAL". I wonder if this kid knows how much people love him. I decide to find out more about him, and click on the next Literal Trailer.
