Laughter and tears.

I seriously dont like drama now. Even more than before. OH, damnit la.

What made me laugh yesterday, when I was so down, and yet made me laugh again just now? This:

"Something for you?" Harry asked coolly.
Ron took a deep breath and jumped into the air. "Aauggh!" he shouted as he came down. And jumped again. "Aaaggh!" And again. "Oooh! Ahhh! Hunh, hunh, hunh, hunh, baaahhhh!"
Draco darted out of nowhere and joined the insane dance, which had gathered everyone’s attention in the few seconds it had been going on. "Bawk, bawk, bawk, bawk," he chanted, hopping around and flapping his arms like a chicken.
Harry couldn't keep a straight face. I don't believe this.
Hermione joined in, her choice of vocalization a high-pitched yowl. "Oww, oww, oww, oww, oww..."
Ginny's yowls were similar, but a bit deeper. "Mowwr, mowwr, mowwr..." Harry found himself watching the arc of her red hair as it rose and fell in counterpoint with her jumps.
Luna made little noises like Ginny's owl Pigwidgeon as her feet hit the ground. "Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo..."
Neville and Meghan were jumping hand in hand, one up, the other down, yelping an insane duet. "Eee, ahh, eee, ahh, eee, ahh..."
Ron, still capering around and yelling, met Harry's eyes and grinned at him bashfully, then brought his hands up to his face and stroked them down both cheeks.
Harry surrendered to his rising laughter, nodding frantically even as he laughed, and then turning the laughter into his own noises as he, too, began to jump up and down, joining in the dance rather than being the one danced around. And other people were beginning to join in, he noticed - Seamus and Dean were bouncing with them, as were a few small Hufflepuff girls, a Ravenclaw or two -
And then suddenly it seemed that most of the courtyard was doing the Trouble-Taking Dance, all jumping up and down and making a variety of odd noises, most of them by now related to laughter in some way, as it all struck everyone as so very funny. A few people were up on the low walls of the courtyard, jumping on them. Harry thought that looked like a good idea, and bounced his way over to join them.
And from that vantage point, he saw the one thing that could make this day even better.
He waved his arms frantically to get people's attention and beckoned for silence, and for them to keep jumping, pointing in the direction of the person he'd seen. The word spread quickly, so that when Professor Snape rounded the corner of the outdoor passageway, he was confronted with a courtyard full of students all leaping up and down in complete silence except for the sound of their feet and the occasional stifled snigger.
It was easy to hear the bell ring from inside the castle, with no one talking or making a sound. And it seemed the most natural thing in the world to keep jumping as they collected their books and possessions and streamed back into the castle, hopping and bouncing past Professor Snape in silence and attempting valiantly not to laugh at his expression of total and complete bewilderment.


Lol! Its really funny. Just visualize it in your head, haha! Hm, yeah.
I cant wait for Friday, it makes up for all the bad times this week. Sele's coming my hse. Yay! Finally, someone decides to venture out of the East, whoohoo! (: Shes gonna see Starbucks and help me carry the racquets. And today, we ( Cheryl, Kaylie, Sele and I) were walking out to the bus stop, I asked my mother to fetch me from there, when I was talking to Sele, and Cheryl was holding the racquet and refused to give it to me, then my mother suddenly honked, and so I went to the car.. Inside the car le, realised that I didnt have the racquet, and looked out the window to find Cheryl waving the racquet like crazy to me, and then I just beckoned her to keep her. Lol! And she said I bully her, which is funny, cos she refused to give up the racquet, haha. The racquet's WF's.. Haha. Cheryl, better not spoil it or something!

Obviously, I'm in a better mood now! And the news of going to Malaysia made it so much better too! (: Cant wait! FRIDAY! Whoohoo! And Cao Cao by JJ's nice.
Cheers, enjoy!

I'm dreading school. Sigh. I miss 2H.
