Last night, Miami University attempted to win some dining hall award by spending something like $4,000 on three different dining halls to host a Hogwarts Feast. So there were like, steak to eat and "Butterbeer" and house flags and a sorting hat and Harry Potter movies playing on the tv. At the dining hall I went to, they even had the tables moved into--you guessed it--four long rows.
There was this guy dressed up like Hagrid, which was a little scary, and this guy we call Harry Potter (because he looks JUST LIKE HIM) was dressed up as (duh) Harry, and all the staff were wearing witch hats. So I'm thinking they better win this award.
So anyway, this dinner was a big deal. And there were a LOT of people there. We had to wait in line for like 15 minutes to get in, and it was packed. Which makes the story I am about to tell much more embarrassing (but for a change, it's not embarrassing to ME!)
We're sitting there, eating our Portkey Pumpkin Soup and Bertie Bott's Beans and other faux-Hogwarts fare when suddenly this kid who just got his food trips, dropping a tray FULL of food. Everyone got quiet but the kid didn't get up for a few seconds, giving everyone a chance to stop and look. And then he jumps up, pulls his hood over his head, and bolts out the door.
It was one of those things you always wish you could do in that situation, but know probably isn't going to work out like you'd hope.
So THEN, this kid looking out the window says, "He's still running!" And he was! All the way across the quad! Till we couldn't see him anymore!
And the funniest thing is, I wouldn't have written this post if he hadn't tried to avoid embarrassment. And really, does it get much more embarrassing than being on the internet? Oh the irony, I JUST LOVE THE IRONY.
