HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, CONDENSED

Disclaimer: J.K. Rowling, who wrote Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, gave me no permission to write this, and probably has no idea that I did so. I greatly enjoyed her book and hope she doesn't mind this dorky tribute.
Yes, you can link to it. Yes, you can friend me. Yes, you can repost it elsewhere, as long as you keep my name on it--but for the love of mercy, put it under an LJ-cut. No, you can't change or add a few lines and put your own name on it as an author. No, you can't pretend you wrote the whole thing. You will be caught. My loyal minions will find you and make you wish you had never discovered the web.
CHAPTER ONE
MUGGLE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE
CORNELIUS FUDGE leaps out of the fireplace.
FUDGE: Evening!
PRIME MINISTER: Oh, good God, no.
FUDGE: You remember me, right? Magic, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Harry Potter, Hogwarts, Triwizard Tournament, Sirius Black, don't know why I'm still talking since the readers know all this, bringing us to the recent murders and mayhem, which are really Voldemort's fault.
PRIME MINISTER: Right. So...you'll take care of that?
FUDGE: Can't, sorry! Been sacked. I sell sticky buns at Victoria Station now. Talk to this bloke instead.
FUDGE leaves. RUFUS SCRIMGEOUR leaps out of the fireplace.
SCRIMGEOUR: Hallo. Like he said, we've got it all under control. Only, we don't, really. Toodleloo!
SCRIMGEOUR vanishes. PRIME MINISTER collapses into his chair.
PRIME MINISTER: They said to me in the '60s, "Tony, you oughtn't drop acid if you want a future in politics," but did I listen? Oh, no...
Also, "sight" is misspelled "site" on page 10, causing glee among NITPICKERS everywhere.
CHAPTER TWO
SOME GRIMY NEIGHBORHOOD IN ENGLAND
BELLATRIX laser-zaps a fox, just to be evil, then continues chasing NARCISSA MALFOY down the street, the two of them keeping up a steady stream of "Should so!", "Should not!", "Should so!", "Should not!", while READERS wonder what the hell they are thinking of doing or not doing. They knock on a door. SNAPE opens it.
BELLATRIX: Trick or treat!
SNAPE: I hate you both. Come in.
NARCISSA: I have a favor to ask.
BELLATRIX: But since we're here, Snape, tell us how come you've managed not to kill Harry Potter, or find out anything useful about Dumbledore, or really do anything evil except sneer at everybody for the last five years. Are you truly Dark, or are you just an outgrown Goth kid?
SNAPE: Me and the Dark Lord, we're like *this*. (doing the two-fingers-close-together thing) That's all you need to know. So, your favor, Narcissa?
NARCISSA: My poor, sweet, innocent son Draco needs help completing The Plan. Do you know about The Plan?
SNAPE: Of course I know about The Plan.
READERS: You could fill us in on The Plan.
NARCISSA: Promise me you'll help.
SNAPE: Okay.
BELLATRIX: I dare you to make the Unbreakable Vow over it.
SNAPE: Fine.
BELLATRIX sets an Unbreakable Vow around their wrists while SNAPE vows to carry out The Plan if DRACO fails.
READERS: Hm. Well, I'm sure he'll find a way to wriggle out of that.
CHAPTER THREE
DURSLEYS' HOUSE
DUMBLEDORE knocks on the front door.
UNCLE VERNON: What the--
DUMBLEDORE: Hello. Ready to go, Harry? By the way, you inherited Sirius's house and all his things, including Kreacher. Give it a whirl.
HARRY: I summon Kreacher.
KREACHER appears, freaks out the DURSLEYS, and throws a hissy fit. HARRY dismisses him.
DUMBLEDORE: Excellent. Oh, by the way, Dursleys, you have to let Harry come back here at least one more time for complicated enchantment reasons, or else he might get murdered, and then I'll be just the teensiest bit angry. Understood?
The DURSLEYS splutter.
DUMBLEDORE: Capital. Let's go, Harry.
CHAPTER FOUR
VILLAGE OF BUDLEIGH BABBERTON
DUMBLEDORE: I prefer raspberry jam.
HARRY: Is that going to be relevant later?
DUMBLEDORE: Not really. Also, Inferi are dead bodies brought back to life by dark magic.
HARRY: Okay. And will that be relevant later?
DUMBLEDORE: It might be.
They knock on SLUGHORN's door.
SLUGHORN: Dumbledore, you skinny-assed piece of--oh, hello! You bring celebrity! Do come in.
DUMBLEDORE: Please come back and teach at Hogwarts, Slughorn.
SLUGHORN: No way.
DUMBLEDORE: Oh, fine. I'll leave you two to talk for a minute.
SLUGHORN: Well, my boy, I tell you, it's fascinating: not only did I know Sirius Black, your parents, and everyone else from that generation, but I'm also a Slytherin who isn't completely loathsome.
HARRY: I admit, that is remarkable.
DUMBLEDORE: Time to leave. Too bad you won't work for me, Slughorn.
SLUGHORN: I can't stand it when you beg! I cave. I'll come back.
DUMBLEDORE: Cheers, old friend. Come, Harry: time to take you to Ron's house. By the way, it's totally okay if you tell Ron and Hermione about the prophecy and everything.
HARRY: It is?
DUMBLEDORE: Yes. You'd be lost without their help. We all know that.
HARRY: Uh...
DUMBLEDORE: Oops, did I say that out loud?
CHAPTER FIVE
THE BURROW
MRS. WEASLEY: Harry! Eat, for the love of God, eat!
HARRY eats. There is a knock at the door.
MRS. WEASLEY: Come in, Arthur.
MR. WEASLEY: (through the door) No, you have to ask the security question.
MRS. WEASLEY: Well, all right... What is your dearest ambition?
MR. WEASLEY: To find out why sticking a fork in a toaster is a bad idea. My turn: what do I call you in bed?
HARRY chokes, and quickly stuffs bread in his ears.
MRS. WEASLEY: Mollywollykins? Hotmuffin? Jezebel? Dear, I'm sorry, I forget which one was the password...
HARRY: Right, I'm going upstairs.
NEXT MORNING. RON and HERMIONE have climbed onto HARRY's bed to wake him up.
HARRY: Gosh. Hello...
HERMIONE: Morning. Just making sure you're all right. Hey, Ginny, join in!
GINNY crawls onto the bed too. Before HARRY gets a chance to appreciate this, FLEUR glides into the room. She knocks the other three off the bed and plants a kiss on HARRY.
FLEUR: *mwah!* Oh Arry, eet eez so long seence I 'ave caressed your ears wiz my outrageous French ac-cent! And I would get eento bed wiz you right now, as your friends all do, but I am marrying Bill! Eezn't it wonderfool?
MRS. WEASLEY: Over my dead body, you are! Er...I mean...yes, she is, isn't that nice?
MRS. WEASLEY, FLEUR, and GINNY leave.
HARRY: Wow, I need a smoke after that.
RON: Me too.
HERMIONE: Ahem!
HARRY: Sorry--um, as I was saying...Dumbledore's giving me private lessons this year.
HERMIONE: How nice.
HARRY: And there's this prophecy saying either Voldemort has to kill me or vice-versa.
HERMIONE: Yeah, kinda figured.
HARRY: Oh, and I think we're getting our O.W.L. results today.
HERMIONE: OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME??
HERMIONE runs flailing out of the room.
CHAPTER SIX
HARRY: Neat, I'm the Quidditch captain.
HERMIONE: (and I quote) That gives you equal status with prefects! You can use our special bathroom now and everything!
STEAMY FANFIC WRITERS OF MANY VARIETIES: (taking notes) How handy.
I didn't type this if you don't like this I'll get rid of it
