A Strange Title That Doesn't Mean Anything, I Just Couldn't Think of a Title

The final exams were an ordeal for nearly every student, but the months of vacation afterward were a happy time.

Harry and the others' final exams weren't held at quite the same time as ours, so by the third day of exams at Hogwarts, they could already see the fan group becoming more and more active.

"They only have to take exams for three days? We have a whole week!" Ron had his History of Magic textbook spread open in front of him and his phone in his hand. He stared in disbelief at the chat messages from the group members, who had finished their finals and were celebrating.

(I tried to find out exactly when Harry and the others took their final exams, but all I found was that finals took place over one week in June and results came out the following week. So I'm making it my own setting that exams last a week! It's my own setting! From now on, I'll mark anything I make up as my own setting, except where I can't find official information!)

Gryffindor's Head of House Can Turn into a Kitty: Yay! Exams are over! I'm free! Time to take my homework home! (humbled)

Hermione's Little Darling: I feel like my exams went unusually smoothly these past few days! Except when I went into the exam room, they scanned the Time-Turner merch around my neck. Damn it.

Another Year of Waiting for an Owl: Maybe they were afraid you'd suddenly travel through time halfway through the exam. (doge)

Young Master Devil: The school really went to great lengths. The reason behind it will leave you severely burned.

Bug Ming: Now I'm sad.

Bug Ming: I only had one subject left, and suddenly they announced it had been postponed until the start of next semester, hahaha!

Severus's Little Darling: All our finals have been postponed until next semester, haha. (so much sadness.jpg)

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: You only have exams for three days?

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: (Ron shocked.jpg)

Ron, who had been lurking, suddenly froze. "Why is Fred using my reaction meme?!"

Harry, who was beside him, reminded him, "They've already collected a full set of reaction memes for every one of us. You only just found out?"

Ron: Slowly types a question mark.

Luna Lovegood's Biological Younger Sister: Yeah. Don't you have three days too?

Proprietress Number Two: Hahahahahahahaha I'm free hahahahahahaha!

Magpie: Number Two, you're hurting my eyes.

The Whomping Willow Nobody Cares About: We all take two subjects a day, and four on the last day. Don't you?

My Older Brother Is Farting: Ha... we take one subject a day.

Must Win This Year: So you can take two subjects a day?

Proprietress Number Two: At least yours are all together. We take one exam, wait a few days, then take another. It's torture.

Bug Ming: Same here.

Kerun: I'm different. While you're all taking exams, mine were suddenly postponed until next semester. I'm on my way to a comic convention right now, ahahahaha!

The Grease on Snape's Head: ? Throw the person above out.

[Admin] !: Throw Kerun out and make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Kerun: Don't worry, I'll find some amazing cosplayers, take pictures with them, and send them to you~

Bug Ming: Stuck at home and can't go out. I'm so jealous.

James-Brand Shampoo: Are you cosplaying, Kerun?

Kerun: Of course ✓, I'm doing Ced this year.

I Am Cedric's Dog: Yay! Looking forward to it!

Lock Draco and Harry Together for Me: Jealous. I want to go in person.

Wants to Make Friends: Comic convention?

Cedric: ?

What did "doing Ced" mean? Was Kerun going to dress up as him? It was as if a mouse in Cedric's head was right-clicking refresh. Come to think of it, their lives really were eventful...

Zabini: What's a comic convention?

The young wizards, who didn't have much in the way of entertainment, all grew interested at the sight of a new term, even though it was exam week.

But it didn't really matter, since their exams were spread out.

After an exam in the morning, they had the afternoon off.

The author was jealous of that schedule. We had barely finished class in the morning before rushing straight into an exam in the afternoon, and with so many people online, it was easy for the system to lag and keep us from getting in.

[Admin] Yan: A comic convention? How do I explain it... It's a big entertainment gathering, I guess.

I'm Draco's Older Sister, My Name Is Zui Kou: There are lots of activities, and you can buy merch of your favorite characters and stuff. You can also dress up as your favorite characters and wander around the convention! You can ask them for photos!

Mrs. Malfoy Number Two: But have you never had comic conventions over there?

Fred didn't know whether the Muggle world had them, but the wizarding world certainly didn't. He sighed. "I really want to visit their world. Why does everything they talk about sound so interesting?"

"Comic conventions... Why can't the wizarding world hold one?" George sprawled in his chair.

It was afternoon, and those with free time had come to the Great Hall or gone to the library to revise for their next subject.

The brand-new concept had caught the interest of the young wizards nearby, and they gathered around.

"What? What? Weasley, what fun thing are those people talking about now?"

"Their stuff is just so fascinating!"

"Have they talked about what our future will be like?"

"What was that comic convention you just mentioned?"

The people crowding around them were all Gryffindors. Fred waved his hand, trying to shoo them away. "We haven't even figured it out ourselves yet. How can we tell you? Go away."

"Finished revising? Our next exam is Potions," George reminded them slyly. The group scattered at once, each returning to their own books.

Phew. In an instant, the brothers felt like the air around them was flowing much more freely. They did want to be popular, but the kind of popularity they wanted brought in money, not questions from every direction.

After that little interruption, Fred returned his gaze to the phone screen tucked between the pages of his textbook.

But why had the conversation in the group suddenly changed so much???

Bug Ming: Ahhh, this Ced is so handsome! Come here and let me have a lick. (what the hell)

Ced Is Mine: Who's my darling? It's Cedric!!

Oh My Mother: Marry, marry me! (rose)

Harry on My Left, Sirius on My Right, Ced Behind Me, Twins Underfoot: Master Kerun is amazing! This Ced looks so much like him, I'm bawling my eyes out!

George stared at the screen in confusion. He had only been away for a moment. Had he traveled through time? Why had the group suddenly changed so much?

"Is Diggory really that popular??" Fred watched the neat row of fangirl messages, his finger swiping up and down the screen as he searched through the chat history. "I don't think he's all that handsome. How come he seems to have more fans than us?"

"Exactly. I'm clearly a bit more handsome." George nodded in agreement, praising his own good looks.

"Bullshit. I obviously am."

Then the two of them found the cause. The person called Kerun had sent a photo to the group. It looked like Cedric, but not quite, and when they looked further down, good grief, it was a cosplay.

"Merlin, that really does look like him."

Fred's eyes widened in surprise.

George thought it took some skill too, and he wanted to learn it himself.

"Hey, then we could disguise ourselves as other people when we sneak out at night."

"Good point!"

The two put their heads together and whispered their plans, completely unaware that a professor in charge of keeping order during afternoon revision in the Great Hall was quietly approaching, sleeves rolled up slightly.

Fred and George: Danger.

Ahem.

Cedric was revising Potions in his dormitory that afternoon. He had just finished a reference book and picked up his phone to check the group messages when he found them discussing comic conventions. Cedric did sometimes envy how eventful their leisure time was. Perhaps this was the kind of happiness people in the wizarding world couldn't experience.

When he saw the cosplay selfie below, even Ced was a little surprised, because it really did look like him. Something felt a little off, though... Seeing someone else dress up as him felt a little strange.

Kerun: Holy shit, I haven't even gone inside yet and I've already spotted an amazing Draco with bangs!

Young Master's Official Girlfriend: ! Quick! Ask for a photo!

Green Disarming Charm: Let me see! Let me see!

Kerun: Wait, I'm rushing over to ask for a photo first!

James-Brand Shampoo: You, you're wearing Ced's face. Calm down when you talk. (scared)

Draco and Harry Are Forever Gods: I'm really afraid that Draco will get scared and turn and run.

[Admin] Yan: ? He flees, he pursues?

Proprietress Number Two: Neither can escape even with wings?

Magpie: That sounds like something Kerun would do. /silence

Bug Ming: Oh no, I can picture it so clearly.

Kerun: Ahaha, caught him! (going crazy! Such a gorgeous Draco!

Kerun: (photo together.jpg)

The Niffler in Newt's Arms: Hey, don't say such perverted things with such a beautiful face!

GGAD Kiss Together: Ask if there are any GGAD cosplayers there!

Kerun: Hehe, I persuaded that Draco to come around the convention with me. I didn't see any GGAD cosplayers outside; I'll look once I'm inside.

A photo of Cedric and Malfoy together. Although they didn't look exactly the same, they were very close, and the sight was extremely shocking to everyone at Hogwarts.

Especially to a certain Slytherin lurking in the chat, a certain young man with the surname Malfoy.

"!!!" Malfoy froze when he saw the photo, frantically refreshing his worldview. "How dare these Muggles dress up as me? And he even let his hair down?"

Don't worry, you'll do the same in a few years.

Blaise was happy to watch the show. "And he's with that Hufflepuff, Cedric." Even though they were other people in costume, they looked about seventy percent alike. Besides, watching Draco bristle was even more interesting.

"Shut up!"

See?

The Green Apple in Young Master's Mouth: Oh my god, that young master looks so accurate! Politely asking for his name!

Kerun: He said his cosplay name is Erhu. It's a very down-to-earth name...

Bug Ming: ? Why does that feel vaguely familiar?

[Admin] Holy Crap: Another dream crossover, huh?

The Big Black Dog Is My Husband: ? What dream crossover? What did I miss this time?

Magpie: Ah, these are memories from a past life! (what the heck)

Kerun: ? What are you talking about? We're going in now. I'll livestream for everyone in a bit~

Cold Lamp Illuminates the Rain: Yay!

A livestream? That familiar feeling after so long made Ron perk up at once. The twins, who had fled back to their dormitory, opened their phones and saw the message just in time. They perked up too, ready to get a good look at what a Muggle comic convention was like. They were going to hold one when they grew up too!

Lock Dumbledore and McGonagall Together and Throw Away the Key: Ask Erhu if he wants to join our group! He can come hang out with us!

Kerun: I asked. He said he never joins fan groups qwq

Proprietress Number Two: Damn it, what a shame!

Oh My Mother: You're at a comic convention? I'm jealous. Every convention around here is always really far from my house.

Oh My Mother: (crying Ron face.jpg)

[Kerun started a voice chat. Click to join]

[Group owner] ?: Ah, this convention is the event over in the capital, right?

In the chat, a cosplaying Cedric faced the camera and said, "Guys, can you hear and see me? Yep, boss! That's the one! I'm here, hahaha!"

Something about hearing those words from Cedric's face felt strange, especially with Cedric himself watching in front of the screen.

"Why does this feel... a little embarrassing?" The real Cedric gave a somewhat helpless smile. Seeing "himself" act so out of character made him blush a little.

Bug Ming: Don't say things like that while looking like Cedric, damn it!

Mrs. Malfoy Number Five: Let me see that gorgeous Draco! (offers roses with both hands)

Proprietress Number Two: Are there twins? Are there twins? Are there twins!!

Stepmother Literature: I'm different. I'll just ask: is the HP cast there!!!

Kerun: Holy shit, calm down, you guys. It's too noisy around me, so I'm muting my mic for now.

My Younger Brother Isn't as Handsome as Me: This is a comic convention? Whoa! So many people! Why is their hair all different colors?

Cho: Oh! That person's hairstyle over there is so tall?! Can it really stay up like that?

Cedric: So many Harry Potters...

Hogwarts' Third-Generation Dark Lord: He's the main character, after all, www.

Hogwarts' Third-Generation Dark Lord: Ahhh, I saw a young Riddle!!! He's so tall!

Cho had just finished her afternoon exam. When she returned to her dormitory and picked up her phone, she saw that they were livestreaming. When she clicked in, she found a whole new world. As she watched the strangely dressed people in the footage, she scrolled through the chat history, trying to figure out what had happened.

In the end, she learned that it was a place called a comic convention.

"Another new place?" Cho sat down, her interest piqued.

Meanwhile, Ced watched the many familiar yet unfamiliar faces that appeared as the camera angle changed.

"It seems they all really like dressing up as Malfoy and Potter, and they look like they get along so well." Cedric sounded a little wistful. "It's completely different from Hogwarts." Cedric thought of the less-than-friendly relationships between the houses...

Kerun: ?

Kerun: Who just left their mic on? They were speaking a whole string of English, too. Is it a group member from abroad?

Only then did Cedric realize he hadn't muted his mic when he joined the voice chat.

Time for a brainless little skit.

Harry after getting a phone and internet access: Why don't we look up Voldemort's background on Google?

(Googling Voldemort--)

Voldemort: Harry Potter is dead!! Ehehe--

Harry: Ahhhhhh! (startled) (punches through the screen)

[A lot of people have probably seen the original meme, right? _(:з"∠)_]

Brainless little skit

On what would happen if they traveled to our real world.

Fred and George appeared in a stall in the men's restroom at a crowded comic convention.

After walking out of the restroom, the two stood there for a second, wondering where they were and how they'd gotten there.

Then they happily blended into the crowd and had fun, though they couldn't buy anything because they had no money.

And congratulations to Fred and George on their excellent achievement of second place in the Weasley Twins cosplay contest.

The twins: (grumble and curse as they leave the convention) (travel back to Hogwarts)

Fred: ? Just playing around.

Is it about to drop? Is it about to drop?

Nope, not yet~ Just messing around~
