Hope you guys all like the new style because I do.

My story is about the marauders because they are awesome and are easier to write about and I like them.

By the way, I only own Amy and Jess and anything else that doesn't sit right with you.

Hello I'm Iz the beta/friend of this person! I did NOT hack into this accountshifty eyes

Amy slammed her book shut in annoyance.

"Doesn't it bug you that none of this stuff is real?" Amy asked as she waved her book around violently.

"Yeah, I hate it how our world is so boring." Jess said sarcastically without looking at her.

"No, really. I just wish that we could go and live with these guys. They have adventures every day and all we get to do is learn about old dead guys who made history."

"That's because we live in Australia, 21st century and we don't have any sort of magical abilities. And they live in England, in I don't know what century and they have all the magic in the world."

"Yeah, but I would still love it if we got to see the marauders."

"Me too, Amy. Me too."

Amy and Jess just sat and thought about what it would be like if they did live in England, went to Hogwarts and had all the magical ability in the world. The train slowly chugged along, through the humid, summer air.

Then the train came to a sudden halt, throwing Amy and Jess's bags three metres into the air and hitting some poor old lady in the head.

"Oh, shit." Jess jumped up and retrieved their bags from a very disdained looking grandma.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." Jess walked back to her seat next to Amy.

"What the eff was that all about?" Amy asked curiously.

"I dunno. The next stop shouldn't be for another ten minutes."

"Maybe we've broken down or the driver had a heart attack."

"Maybe."

Amy shuffled around impatiently, constantly looking out the window and checking her watch.

"If they don't start up soon, we're gonna be late for roll call."

"Mm hm." Jess thought about doing something about it, because Amy was right and they really didn't need any more detentions with Mr. Stewart.

"Hey Amy, I'm gonna go up to the driver and see what's happened. You coming?"

"Yeah, sure." Amy jumped up and bounced along behind Jess.

The train was really empty today, thought Jess as she walked up through the section that joined their carriage with the drivers'.

"Hello, anybody there?" Amy wandered around the various driving mechanisms tapping each one as she went.

"Amy, stop it. You might do something to the train." Jess said, just as a loud crashing sound echoed through the compartment.

"I didn't do it." Amy squealed.

"You broke something."

"No I didn't."

Jess walked cautiously towards the compartment's door. Then opened it to see the rest of the train sliding backwards down the tracks to the bottom of the hill.

"Now look what you've done." Jess screamed.

"I'm sorry." She squeaked.

"Now what?"

"I don't know." Amy squealed, panicking and jumping up and down.

"Well, at least we can't go anywhere." Jess sighed as she picked up their bags.

"You sure about that?" Amy squealed again and pointed out the front window.

Jess slowly turned around, scared to see what her friends clumsiness had caused this time.

"Aaaaagh." Jess screamed, and ran around pressing buttons.

"How funny is that? We stopped right on the top of a hill, so we either fall backwards into the rest of the train or we plunge down to the other side of the mountain. Huh." Amy said cheerily.

"Thankyou, Amy. For pointing out the obvious."

"Well, look on the bright side. We aren't crashing into the rest of the train." Amy shrugged.

"Oh, yay." Jess grunted sarcastically.

"Hey, Jess."

"Yes." Jess said icily.

"What do you reckon this button does?"

"Well, if it says stop, brake or 'prevent the driving carriage from plunging to its doom', I suggest you press it."

"It says HP."

"What?"

"HP. What's that supposed to mean?"

"I don't know." Jess said impatiently.

"It could be… 'halt plunging'." Amy said thoughtfully.

"Or it could be 'happy penguins' but if you think it'll help, then press it."

"Ok." Amy said as she slammed her hand down onto the big blue button.

The train sped up, the ground at the bottom coming steadily closer.

"Amy, all you did is make it worse."

"I was only trying to help."

"Well don't. Now we're going faster."

"Well, duh."

"I could kill you Amy, but it looks like you're gonna die anyway."

The hills beside them were a blur, the ground became closer and closer and closer. The tracks suddenly turned around the mountain and the girls' compartment flew through the air, over the river below until they crashed into the grass on the other side.

--------------

"Ugh, Amy. You there?" Jess lifted her head slightly, groaning.

"Yeah, over here. Our stuff landed on me so the roof didn't crush me."

"Good for you. Now next time you decide to send us flying through the air, warn me. I won't come."

"Sorry."

"Yeah, well at least we're not dead."

"True."

"How do we get up?"

"I don't know, there's half a train compartment on me."

"Same."

"You know, not many people could survive having a train fall on them."

"Yeah. A train compartment."

"How about we call someone?"

"Yeah. K. You have our bags."

"Uhu."

Jess lay there thinking about how much fun that actually was, despite the fact that they almost died. It could be a ride at Dreamworld someday. She started to wander into fantasy land, thinking about how rich they would be if they came up with the idea of a ride that sent kids flying through the air.

"Hey Jess."

"Mm."

"It's gone all retarded."

"Have you turned it on?"

"Oh, right." Amy pressed a button on the phone, it didn't do anything and she got frustrated attacking the button. "IT's not turning on."

"Really." Jess sat up as far as she could with a train on top of her.

"Yeah, it died."

"That's weird, oh wait, no it's not. Its called dead battery." she said sarcastically.

Then suddenly, the train shrunk and rolled down the hill.

"That's wierder." Amy said.

The girls got up and looked around. To their surprise, it wasn't summer anymore. It was freezing cold and snowing.

"Ok." Jess was really confused now.

"Lets start walking." Amy said and started trekking up the hill.

"K." Jess's mind was somewhere else now.

Amy was about one hundred metres ahead of Jess and she had their bags. Amy went up over a little hill and yelled out to Jess.

"Hey, you gotta come see this."

Jess raced up to her, and stopped dead in her tracks.

"It can't be."

"It could be."

Before them stood a magnificent castle, even higher than the Harbour Bridge and wider than the Bass Strait. They stared at it in awe.

"I think it's Hogwarts." Amy whispered.

"That's not possible."

"What do you mean that's not possible?"

"It's impossible for a make-believe castle from a story to be real. And anyway, it's in England."

"Well, you wanna explain to me any other reason for it to just start snowing. And a massive castle to just appear out of nowhere."

"Well, it could be global warming?"

"And the castle?"

"Movie set?"

"Must be one big movie if they cover the entire state with fake snow."

"But it just doesn't make sense."

"It doesn't have to." Amy said as she clambered down the hill towards the castle.

"Well maybe an adventure is just what we need right now." Jess said to herself as she watched Amy run excitedly towards the entrance to her favourite place in this world and the next.

What do you think?

The characters from the book will come in in the next chapter, don't worry.

Like I'd write a story without the main characters in it.

p.s. sorry about any grammatical errors for you English nerds out there but my shift key ran away so sometimes it works, but, more often than not, it doesn't. And if you didn't read the top I'm the beta so it should be slightly better. Oh and R&R!!
