Craig got off the plane. He was crying inside, because he had had to lie to John Paul. He was not going to Dublin at all. He was going to HOGWARTS, to study witchcraft and wizardry. Mainly the wizardry though, cause he wasn't a girl. Just a fag. He couldn't believe that no one had realised he was a wizard until he was 18 due to some completely strange and unexplainable turn of events. He was also worried about how he'd fit in amoung his fellow first years, what with being twice their average height. And a fag.

"Don't worry," said Ron Weasley. "I'm a fag. But I'm in denial. Harry's a fag too! Draco's a MASSIVE fag. In fact, no one is straight!"
"Except for Dumbledore," Hermione pointed out.
"Yes, him," said Ron, dreamily.
"Well i wouldn't be so hasty, Hermione" said Dumbledore from his omnipresent position everywhere.

suddenly Harry Potter appeared from a ball of flames in the middle of the hall. "NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!" he shouted very loudly
"It's because Tom Riddle is just sexier than you," said Ginny, passionately kissing her black diary. Eww, thought Craig. That thing has been in a toilet. Twice.
"Eww Ginny! That thing has been in a toilet! Twice!" yelled Harry, raising his wand to curse her, because no one understood him. Craig's eyes widened and using and impressive piece of wandless magic that he had picked up from watching Heroes, he threw Harry across the room.
"Never hit a woman. Only hit fags that you slept with and sort of love."
"you're a fag?" asked Harry, disgustedly.
"Harry," replied Hermione softly, touching his shoulder "we're all fags here, that's why the school motto is 'i like touching other boys, yum'"
Harry was shocked, "everyone?" he said, his jaw dropping open.
"Yes, everyone" Dumbledore's uncorporeal form said again, confusing all. "But i let you touch me!" shouted Harry, "you said it would help kill Voldemort!"
"OMG DUMBLEDORE" he shouted, storming away through a door no one had previously noticed.

Draco Malfoy slid up in a sliding snake like way because he's in slytherin but remember he's evil and blond!
"What's this I hear about Dumbledore abusing Potter?"
"Well, Dumbledore's been abusing Potter," clarified Hermione.
"Thanks for clearing that up," said Draco, smoothing down his hair in a snake like manner except you know snakes don't HAVE hair.
"I bet he's just doing it to make Snape jealous," said Draco. "But if Potter's vunerable and stuff, I'll go seduce him. Cause I'm evil. And stuff," he said, following through the door that disappeared after he left.
"Well," said Craig Dean. "It looks like Hogwarts is going to be an interesting place to learn, but I miss JP. He was hot."

Just then, Voldemort crashed through the wall.
"JOHN PAUL BELONGS TO ME!" screamed Voldemort, and it sort of made their ears hurt a bit, because he too was evil. Probably not as evil as Draco though, because he's evil and hot, and everyone knows that makes you more evil. Anyways. "We're in love" said Voldemort, his eyes softening a bit from an expression of 'really really really evil' to 'really really evil.' Craig was very very confused, being from the muggle world he had thought that Voldemort was fictional.

"You're not fictional?" he asked. "No, I'm just gay," Voldemort replied.
"Well i figured," said Craig, "everyone seems to be." Which is when Moony appeared, and by Moony i mean Professor Lupin, as he was teaching at Hogwarts again.
"Well," he said, knowledgably "you see, 'straightness' was a construct created by Hitler in one of his evil evil plans. Everyone's gay really, and children really are brought to your doorstep by a stork. I'm sorry the world's been lying to you."

"But i'm straight!" exclaimed Hermione.
"That's not what you were saying last night" replied Ginny, one eyebrow raised showing an expression of 'i'm really cool but you all think i'm stupid because i put my elbow in the butter one time. My elbow's never been the same to be honest, it's always a bit slippery. It's very strange.' Just then, it started dripping butter again, so Ron discretely handed her a hanky.

"Ginny!" said Hermione, blushing red. "I was drunk and vunerable because Harry and Ron wouldn't let me watch them make out anymore!" "Hermione, there's no alcohol in water," Ginny pointed out.
"Yes there is, haven't you read Hogwarts: A history?"
"No, no one has read that," said Voldemort. "Even I have not read it."
"RONALD WEASLEY!" exclaimed Ginny, looking carefully at the hanky. "Explain!" she pointed to the letters 'DM' embroidered in evil green thread.

"I've read Hogwarts: A History" said Craig in a strange and utterly unexpected turn of events. "OTP!!111!!" screamed an unexpected crowd of fangirls. "oh, why did i publish my address online?" Dumbledore sighed. Everyone had forgotten that Voldemort was there, and he was being very patient, but finally he looked at his watch "look, i realise you're busy" he said "but the thing is i have a meeting in 10, very important evil business. You know how it is. So listen, can a few of you just, like, die so that people are still scared of me. Only it's difficult to keep up a reputation when people are more interested in Britney Spears' hair."
"Or lack thereof" pointed out Ron, unhelpfully.

Meanwhile, Hermione had run off to make out with Ginny. Voldemort left, and Ron decided to be helpful and die.
"*dies*" he said, pronouncing the astericks.

"Damnit Ron, you didn't explain the hankerchief," complained Ginny who had left Hermione in a comprimising position on the pretence of going to find some strawberries. Hermione was secretly quite pleased though, because she had butter all over and it was kind of sticky. Meanwhile, Ron's ghost appeared "turns out i didn't really want to die afterall" he said, shrugging.

Nearly headless nick was thrilled by this turn of events. "Excellent, another person I can molest!"
"I thought you had a thing going on with the bloody baron?" asked Craig, who had been reading the hogwarts gossip column.
"Well yes. But he's so moody. I want someone that understands me," said NIck.
"Awwww," said everyone. At which point Harry reappeared just to scream "WELL NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME!!!" This was followed by a very touching (in the emotional sense, not the sexual sense) family moment between Lupin and Sirius and Harry which was far too lovely to be recorded here, but ended with Harry running away screaming "OMG SIRIUS AND LUPIN ARE FAGS... TOGETHER!"
"well duh" said everyone.

Just then, Sarah Barnes appeared, wearing a hat and nothing else.
"Sarah, what the hell? We've talked about this, you have to wear actual clothes!" said Craig.
"Yeah," added Ginny. "evn *I* don't wanna tap that. And i'm hella easy"
"Sorry," said Sarah, "i was just in a rush to give you this letter, it's from John Paul!"
"Gimme, gimme" said Craig, jumping to reach the letter in Sarah's hands. Finally he grabbed it and read it, it said "plz stp calling me, i'm with Voldi now, he's bttr in bed thn u tbh." Craig was really sad, "but i like John Paul, and being here at Hogwarts has helped me to come to terms with my sexuality."

There was an awkward silence, then Sarah Barnes said "so, are you sure you don't wanna tap this, Ginny?"
Ginny tilted her head to consider, then drank a few glasses of water, and then shook her head.
"No. Please get the hell out of our school. And do something about your hair." At that point, Draco Malfoy shot her. She fell to the floor bleeding. Everyone was relieved.
"Omigosh, Draco, thank you!" said Ginny, throwing herself in to the evil evil blond's arms. They embraced. Everyone else sort of stared. "
What are they doing?" Ron asked Nearly Headless Nick.
"I've heard of this," he said. "It's called hetrosexuality. It's disgusting" he said with a sneer.
"Oh yeah," said Hermione, "i read about it in Hogwarts: An Anti-History, it's one of the five things that have never happened at Hogwarts."
"Well it has now!" said Dumbledore excitedly as he rushed off to make a plaque celebrating the occasion.
"uhmm... hey Nick" said Ron "wanna go get gay?"
"Yeah, okay," said Nick. The couple drifted off through the walls. How romantic. "I'm so glad Sarah Barnes is dead," said Craig contendedly. "I think that everything is going to be OKAY."
"And gay!" added Harry.
THE END.

By Sarah M and I.

Hollywood glamourized my wrath

jumping on the bandwagon!

My lips are quivering as i type this tbh.
