The Chicken Vortex
By HedwigFan101
Disclaimer: I solemnly swear that The Chicken Vortex belongs to JK Rowling. I also swear that this is pure fiction. The Chicken Vortex is a rather unpleasant doorway to a very funny world.
Everyone had their jaws on the floor. A vortex stood in front of them. Swirling feathers abounded. Swirling chicken feathers.
"This is it," Fred said.
"The Chicken Vortex," George said in reverence.
They did not have time to celebrate. They were being slowly drawn into the portal. Finally a very strong wind sucked them right in. The swirling vortex vanished behind them.
The Chicken Dimension was weird. An endless plain of chickens, and one had to step on their backs because only chickens could walk normally.
Harry and Hermione were with them.
"This sucks, why are we here?" Hermione asked.
She had a point. But Fred spoke up. "Hermione, you said you would come…."
"….and besides, I have a solution," George said. "We transfigure ourselves into chickens."
"Awesome!" Fred said.
"NO!" Harry and Hermione cried at the same time.
"Well, somewhere in the center is the chicken we need. A golden chicken. If we don't get it, the world basically ends," Fred said.
So they waded through the chickens. Multiple times the saw golden feathers, but they did not see the golden chicken until they noticed a pool of water with a spire. On the spire perched a golden chicken.
That was the one they needed. It was certain.
But they had to get it. How?
If you wan to know what they did, think: Fred and George knew most spells. But pretty much every wizard or witch knew the one they used.
Still want to know? Read on.
Fred smiled. "We don't actually need the chicken. We need an egg. And I know just how to get one."
He pulled out his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" A golden egg floated from the nest.
And then it came. It poured at them. It was horrifying.
A wave of chickens poured at them. Fred pocketed the egg. "RUN!"
They had to run. Not easy. If they did not step on the chicken's backs, they would fall into nothingness. The chickens did not make it easy like before. But the group managed to stay a little ahead of the wave….and ran right into Hogwarts, the doorway having opened in front of them.
Fred held the egg up. "One ingredient down. Three to go."
Author's Note: I wrote this story as the first in the Vortex series. Fred, George, Harry, and Hermione must make the Golden Potion to restore the world to its former glory. It is the summer after first year. Hedwig is at the Weasley's. Ron is there too, he was not chosen for this.
The others in this series are called The Snake Vortex, The Kitten Vortex, and The Time Vortex.
