The Space Race

Harry Potter, Ron and Hermione were all walking down the corridor.

Suddenly, a bookshelf opened and the three could see Dumbledoor standing inside.

"Yes, marvelous!" chortled Dumbledoor, while using a cleaning cloth on a shadowy object that they could not see.

The three wondered what it could be, and why was there a secret passage in the corridor anyway?

"It's finally ready, after all these years!" said Dumbledoor, interrupting them in their thoughts, "When the plans for this were constructed I was a little boy!"

Then Harry, Ron and Hermione ran off as Dumbledoor left the room and went a way.

Later on, the three came back to the corridor, and looked around.

"Where is the thing to open this bookcase?!" asked Harry, banging on the door.

Suddenly, Harry banged a book and the shelf opened up, and the room lights to on, revealing a bright red spaceship!

"Such a spaceship!" exclaimed Ron, and they all went up to the spaceship.

Hermione examined the spaceship in her experiments.

Harry just looked.

"Look at this!" said Harry, pointing to the word 'Titanic' encrusted on the spaceship and the number 13 carefully painted on the tailfin, "This must be really bad luck, we shouldn't ride such a thing!"

"Superstitions don't exist!" laughed Ron.

"And we are to ride!" yelled Hermione, "This is such a majestical spaceship! It would be a very crime commited if we did not take the time to ride this contraption!"

Harry and Ron looked confused.

"Let's go!" laughed Hermione, and she ran inside and started to press buttons.

"NO!" yelled Harry and Ron together, and they both ran too Hermione, to try and stop her from pressing the buttons.

But it was too late. The three turned and the door was closing quickly. BANG! The door had lodged itself shut.

The spaceship started to quake and make noises.

"Oh no!" yelled Harry, as the spaceship took off into the stars...
