The Quest For The Lost Llama

The gang (led by Ginny and Ron--they seemed to be the most enthusiastic about finding the llama) left the Gryffindor common room, after they packed a bag full of Mountain Dew, because they figured they'd get thirsty while looking the llama.

They started by looking in the Great Hall, under the tables. Much to their dismay, there was no sign of any llamas.

Then they decided to check the Room of Requirement, because if the llama was trying to escape, he'd need a hiding place, and this was a place that the llama could hide. There was no llama there, but they did find fifty more cans of Mountain Dew.

After that, they went down to the lake to look. No llamas whatsoever.

Then they went to the Shrieking Shack (from the Whomping Willow passageway.) There were, unfortunately, no llamas, but they did find a llama footprint.

"By George I've got it!" Ginny said.

"Got what?" everyone asked her.

"Got milk?" she asked.

"No, but we do have some Mountain Dew," Hermione told her.

"I'll take one," Ginny said.

"That'll be eight bucks." Ginny handed Hermione eight dollars and the gang left the Shrieking Shack, and went into Hogsmaede

They went to the cave where Sirius had hid with Buckbeak in their third year, and Hermione, Ron, and Harry started crying, which left Neville, Luna, Ginny, Lavender, Dean, Parvati, and Seamus way confused. They sat there for ten minutes when Seamus said; "Can we please leave now? There's no llama here," and they left, Hermione, Ron and Harry still weeping.

The groups walked silently down the road to Honeyduke's. "Llamas like candy," Ginny had told them earlier.

When they reached Honeyduke's, all of the lights were out except one in the room above the shop.

"The llama must be hiding there," Ron said.

They all walked on tiptoes into the shop, which was deserted. (Or desserted! Get it? It's a candy shop!) And they headed for the old stairs leading up to the old room. They stood outside the door, staring at the purple doorknob. "Why is the doorknob purple?" Neville wondered out loud.

Just then, they heard an earsplitting scream! They turned around to see that Hermione had just stepped on a toad, and it had frightened her. "Hey! That's Trevor! I haven't seen him in ages!" Neville shouted.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP? WE'RE ON A MISSION HERE!" Ron yelled.

Ginny reached out her hand and twisted the purple doorknob.

Suddenly the lights went out, and flickered back on. "My pearl necklace is gone!" Parvati shrieked.

"You had a pearl necklace?" Seamus asked.

"No, but it seemed like one of those old movies where the lights go out and someone takes a lady's pearl necklace, you know?" said Parvati. They all rolled their eyes and stepped into the room, to find... (Long dramatic pause) A LLAMA! But, sadly, the llama was not the llama they had been looking for.

"How many llamas are there around here?" Ginny asked.

The llama looked up from the cord it had been chewing and said, in a very sophisticated voice, "Well, actually, there are precisely 20 wild llamas running around Hogsmeade at this very moment, and 3 llamas that are pets."

Ginny, Ron, and Harry seemed the least bit surprised that a llama had just spoken to them, but the others were very surprised.

"Eek!" Neville screamed, and hid under a table.

"Eek?" the llama asked Neville.

"Yes, eek!" Neville said.

"Weird humans," the llama muttered, then cleared its throat and said, "Are you looking for a llama?"

"Yes," Ginny said politely. "There was a nice llama in our common room this evening, and we were curious whether it was a boy or girl."

"What was the llamas name?" the llama asked Ginny.

"We never asked," Ginny replied.

"Well no wonder the llama left, it's very impolite for humans to not ask for a llamas name," the llama told them.

"Then what's your name?" Ron asked.

"My name is Yo," the llama said.

"Yao?" Neville asked from under the table.

"Yo," the llama repeated slower.

"Yao?" Neville asked again.

"YO!" the llama shouted.

"Oh, you don't take checks!" Neville said.

"Okay," the llama said, confused. "What are all of your names?"

"I'm Ginny," Ginny started, "and this is Harry, Ron, Neville, Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, Dean, and Seamus. Oh and that's Luna," Ginny said. She had forgotten Luna had even been there because she was being so silent.

"How am I supposed to remember that?" Yo asked them.

"Er, I dunno," Ron said.

"Anyway, I can help you find this llama, but it won't be easy. I'll have to call up all my llama friends and see if they know any llamas that were up at Hogwarts. Let me call them," Yo said, and then he picked up on old shoe from on the ground and started poking it in various places. He then started talking into the sole of the shoe in some kind of llama-language. "They'll be here in a jiffy," said Yo, setting the shoe on the floor.

"I have a question," Dean said.

"That's nice," Hermione commented.

"Why is this place using electricity? And why does Neville know a commercial from a muggle TV set?" Dean asked no one in particular.

"I can watch TV if I want to!" Neville (who was still under the table) shouted.

"And Honeyduke's can use electricity if they want to," Yo said.

"Oh," Dean said. "So when are the llama dudes coming?"

Right after Dean said that, about 9 llamas came walking into the room. "Wassup, Yo?" One llama that was wearing sunglasses said.

"We're looking for--" Yo started but was interrupted by Harry.

"What are your names?" Harry asked.

"I'm Homey, this is Bob, Rooster, Ice Cream, Peace, Mentos, Fork, Smoothie, and Parallelogram." The llama (Homey) with sunglasses said. The group looked at him like he was crazy. "The 'rents be a bit disturbed in the head, alright?" Homey added.

"Oh," the group said.

"So, Yo, what are you lookin' for?" Homey asked.

"I'm looking for one of our fellow llamas. A llama was at Hogwarts this evening, and left before these kids could ask him a question."

"So you think it's a boy, too! See Ginny! I was right!" Ron said, and he stuck out his tongue at Ginny.

"I meant to say it," Yo said.

"Oh. Forget I said anything," Ron said, sounding disappointed.

"Well, Yo, there were two llamas up at Hogwarts tonight. Cheese and Disco were up there," said Smoothie.

"Were they boys or girls?" Ginny asked.

"Disco's a girl, and Cheese is a boy," Mentos said.

"Where are they now?" Ron asked.

"According to our llama-tracker device, they are both in the Forbidden Forest," Smoothie told them.

Author's Notes:

Please excuse the lame joke about Honeyduke's being "desserted." I'm just really cheesy like that. Oh, and about the llamas' names: I just typed some things that were around me. Except there wasn't a Bob around me, but I named Bob after my quarter that I named Bob. (MY QUARTER!) Anyway, I know the whole story's really lame and all, but give me a break, I was bored and had nothing better to do!

And by the way, this is my idea of a cliffhanger!

ONCE AGAIN, NO LLAMAS WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS FANFIC.
