This was my first ever EEFD dare... *sniff* and its sorta longish, but sentimental value, adding to the name of the fic..*babbles on* I'm postin it agian, same with my other ones but just this one for now..

Pumpkin Snorters and the Chaos They Cause.
It was a beautiful, normal day, and Harry Potter had just finished doing his Potions essay. Now to anyone this may seem quite boring and it was. But it was just one of those things that had to be done in order to have some sort of starting point for a story.

As Harry sat there, he noticed a Pumpkin Snorter run past, but he didn't know it was a Pumpkin Snorter at first, Harry thought it was a pumpkin, but, as his Care of Magical Creatures book, suddenly appeared at his side, he flipped through until he found it,

Pumpkin Snorters
A common type of Magical Creature, but not the most friendliest, known to attack others, especially mere muggles, who assume, it is a Pumpkin, when in fact, it is only the Pumpkin's 3rd cousin Twice Removed. Although, they sometimes have quite a family brawl, and will eat their family members...

Pumpkin Snorters love to travel in packs, so, if you find one, you can be guaranteed there will be approximately another 200 following him/her.

When one is elected Head Chief, T'is because the others couldn't beat it and then it becomes very confident, and constantly proves it's leadership skills by beating up the yuonger Pumpkin Snorters.

Pumpkin Snorters are best to be kept away from, but if angered, will call on their mates, who linger not to far behind.

...

Harry sighed, this was not the time to be stopping an attack of Pumpkin Snorters from invading the school, he was sick of saving the school, It was someone elses turn.

Before Harry could do anymore sulking, he saw another group of Pumpkin Snorters run past, Harry, not wanting to be the Pumpkin Snorters dinner, ran towards the school when he fell into the front hall, only to notice Ron being held up by 5 or so Pumpkin Snorters, Harry laughed, which may have been the wrong thing to do, but sure enough they put Ron down, and off he went, No way, was he going to save the-idiot-who-laughed.

Ron walked into the great Hall to find Harry sitting there laughing, Huh? What how did that happen? thought Ron as he heard Nearly Headless Nick screaming his head off (almost literally) at a poor little kid, well a poor little kid until he realised it was none other then that Zabini Blaise or something, the one who's gender confuzzled quite a few.

Zabini (As I can't remember what name went first) was cowering under the ever hateful stare of Nick, even though the whole school was watching in amusement, even Dumbledore was chuckling to himself, but stopped quickly when Minerva gave him a quite stern Stop-it-now stare.

NHN pointed at Zabini, the only words the whole Hall would hear of the argument, "Zabini, How could you, after all this, you you - SnitchSeeker"
Zabini buckled,"A WHAT" he (I've just decided the gender....) roared?
NHN- Oh you heard me, you darn Filthy Snitch Seeker, that's all I ever was to you wasn't it? NOW GET OUT BEFORE I MAKE YOU GET OUT!!!

Zabini ran from the hall, crying, screaming, much like a 5 year old girl who can't get a new dolly, (Which made everyone seriously doubt Zabini's gender once again) he was still running towards the Great Halls Great Entrance Hall, which he had to go through the Great Halls Great Doors to get to.

You know what else was great? Was the way Zabini allowed the Great Halls Great Doors, be left open slightly, allowing 101 Pumkin Snorters of the 201 to run in and steal Hannah Abbott from the Hufflepuff Table.

But not before Dumbledore did his infamous "SILENCE" causing an almost deafening silence in the Great Hall, and Dumbledore allowed the Pumpkin Snorters Head Chief, Pumkin Ninny, get up, and announce why he was in fact taking a Hufflepuffian and not a Slytherin, or Gryffindor. (To which Harry, and Draco both looked mildly disgusted at the fact a HUFFLEPUFF was picked over them...)

Fellow Hogwartians, I Pumkin Ninny, am taking Hannah Abott, because she is useless, and will be your representative for the new Wizarding show, Big Brother: Inter-School Challenge.

At this announcement, everyone cheered, not for the fact they were participating on the show, but for the fact they WEREN'T the chosen representative, all except poor dear old Hannah. She shouldn't of resisted, she should've went quietly, do you think she did? Nooo-ooo.

She kicked, she screamed, she reached for her wand, but Second to the Head Chief, Jack Pumkinston, already had the wand, and already had it snapped, not in Half, but in millions of pieces, as if a steamroller, had accidently been in the Great Hall and accidently ran it over.

"You darn SNITCHSEEKER!!!"

The Great Hall rang with a loud silence.
The Pumpkin Snorter's dropped her.
Flat on her face to be precise.
3 Pumpkin Snorters, came and carried her away.

Dumbledore rose from his seat, "Now, I have had enough, I've had it up to here with you lot"
(Dumbledore placed his hand near his knees as he said this) "Why must you go around calling people Snitchseekers? It is really quite annoying, every week, there are people going *Mimicking voice* Professor Dumbledore sir, so-and-so called me the S-word the other day! Sir, what can you do about people calling you Snitchseekers?"

Dumbledore stopped mimicking, enough just to yell the S-word at everyone. Everyone looked aghast, and for once the Great Albus Dumbledore, had cracked. He had screamed the S-Word. Then he Magicked a pillow and put it against his face and screamed. Everyone clearly heard him, it sounded a little muffled though, so instead of sounding like SNITCHSEEKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It merely sounded like Mmphmeeka!!!! Which of course doesn't sound quite as offending to anyone else.

Storming off, and out of the Great Hall, throught the Great Doors of the Great Hall, went the Great Albus Dumbledore, once out in the Entrance Hall, (which isn't as Great as the Great Hall) he screamed once more into his pillow. Then "Sonorus" his vvoice boomed throughout the whole entire school, which was entirely pointless, seeing as everyone but him were in the Great hall.

"Guess what, if you don't know who this is, then guess, but just thought I'd let you know, I'm leaving this school, there will be a coin toss between nobody, and I hand the Headmastership over to the only English Speaking Pumpkin Snorter, the only Head Chief!!"

Nobody applauded, only the Pumpkin Snorters clapped and grunted. The Head Chief stood up, and made a small polite speech, it went something like this...

"Ex-Headmaster Dumbledore, we thank you, for kindly allowing us to stay, right now, our other 100 fellows couldn't be here, as they are currently giving birth down in one of the dungeons, Dungeon 5 Block C, I believe."

Snape turned a very sickly green, and dashed off, probably to go and save his precious dungeon 5, Block C class room, that was his favourite room. Now it was going to have 300 odd Pumpkin Snorters in there.

Head Chief aka Pumkin Ninny, continued (after the not-so-great-Snape left the Great Hall)
"We hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, and NEW RULE= Don't annoy us, we are hungry.
That is all, Let the Feast begin!!"

The students sat there shell-shocked, but it was going to get worse, at the precise moment the words BEGIN were finished, the other 300 odd Pumpkin Snorters came running in, grunting, and running and did I mention grunting?

And then Snape returned, this time, his clothes were in tatters, before he fainted, he managed to somehow say "The silly snitch seekers, they breed like rabbits......"

And before he even got to the floor, another 200 odd Pumpkin Snorters came bounding through the door. and started wreaking Havoc. Soon, all the students and teachers were gone, except for the trio, who would most likely be left to clean it all up, That was until Harry walked off.
"Oi, you silly bother, where do you think your going?" shouted Ron, obviously getting quite peeved that Harry decided not to save the school again.
"Somewhere where you silly Snitchseekering Idiot's can't find me!" And so off he stormed.

*Stomp Stomp Stomp, Storm, Stamp, Heavy Stepping, Stomp Stomp Stomp *

"Oh be quiet!" Harry turned to see a portrait, It looked like a man-version of Umbridge, staring angrily at him, so he hurried off. Just as he got near the door, a Pumpkin Snorter blocked his way, and cursed him into Oblivion.............

(apparently it's TOO long, so the rest is in next post..)
