Hogwarts School of Friendship and Harmony
Read It In a Book?
Previous ChapterHarry and Ron wanted to explore their surroundings, to maybe find out where they were, since Hermione had not clarified, but she quickly shot their ideas down.
“Dumbledore said there would be someone to explain!” Hermione reminded. “You’d get lost if you just wandered off! At least I have a general idea of where to go!”
“And how do you know about this place?” Ron asked. “Read it in a book?” he rolled his eyes at this, thinking this was the obvious answer.
“Of course not, Ron!” Hermione replied, annoyed. “You can’t get everything from a book!”
“Words I never thought I would hear Hermione say.” Harry smirked.
“I got it from TV!” Hermione said exasperatedly.
“That’s it. It’s official. The universe has imploded and we’re all dead,” Harry said with a shocked expression, and a poorly concealed grin. “That is the only possible explanation for what I just heard.”
“Oh, shut up Potter!” Malfoy snapped. “We have no idea where we are, and you're poking fun at the Mudblood!” Ron quickly stumbled on his new legs to Malfoy.
“I swear, Malfoy, if you ever say that again!” Ron got in his face and raised a hoof. “I won’t go as easy as Hermione third year.”
“That's enough, Ron.” Hermione said, rolling her eyes. “As I´ve already said, Malfoy, we're in Equestria.”
“Hey, Hermione!” Harry remembered. “How do you know about this place?” Hermione suddenly looked very flustered.
“Oh, well, um…..I, well…. Harry, you know that television program I was talking about earlier?” Hermione stuttered. Harry looked at her blankly, while all three Slytherins (and Ron) looked uninterested, because they don’t care what happens outside of their petty lives, except for Ron, who was just because he wasn’t there for that particular conversation.
“This is the program you were referencing?” Harry asked in bewilderment. “A telly program that has a world called Equestria, or whatever you said! And this world is inhabited by small horses, judging on our appearance! Hermione where the **** do you find a show like this!”
“Well, it´s not like I was expecting to watch it!” Hermione said hotly. “I visited my cousin in America over the summer, and she recommended it to me. I wasn’t all that excited, if you could imagine.”
“Okay,” Harry said, “but then how did your cousin actually get you to watch this show?” Hermione looked down, as if she were ashamed to say. Her head suddenly shot up.
“She literally tied me to a chair and made me watch it!” Hermione shouted. “It’s not like I wanted to! But,as time went on, I, um…” she got quieter with every word.
“Hello, young students,” Celestia suddenly strode in, interrupting the conversation. “I presume you are the pupils Dumbledore told me about?”
