A/N - this fan fictional piece was written while I was chatting on gryffinroar...
Disclaimer: the characters in this story are the magical characters of people... I did not create them, the only one I created was Jay as she is my character.
the world they are in is the wonderful world of harry potter created by J. K. Rowling.
I only created the story line and the chants...
Reviews are appreciated...
And then there was silence. A shadow fell across the group and everything went cold. A beast of 16 feet towered over them. A low growl from the monster sent shivers down their spines. The bedraggled group stood like statues as the giant bent down and grabbed one of their number, Griver. Runner snapped out of her trance as Griver let out a scream, "help me!" Runner pulled out her wand and shot a few strong spells at the creature but to no avail as they bounced off the giant, leaving no damage. Griver called again, this snapped the rest of the group back into action. Jay and Lumos pulled out their wands and joined the fight. The commotion caught the attention of another wizard, Drat. He came running to the group's aid sending spells at the beast's hands as to release Griver from its clutches. The combine force of the group's spells caused the giant to let go of Griver who started falling to the ground. Jay momentarily turned to from the fight to cast a spell at Griver to slow her descent then turned back to the monster. Griver got up, pulled out her wand, and joined the fight. The combined power of the 5 wands destroyed the beast and the wary group breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank-you for helping us, Mr.…" Runner said, turning to Drat and shooting him a questioning look.
"Drat or DT," he answered. "And you're welcome. Do you know where the giant came from? There aren't supposed to be any more in this country?"
"Feels like magic gone wild," stated Jay, walking around the area where the monster stood. She knelt down and felt the ground, "I sense the presence of unfinished dark magic, as if someone was interrupted in the middle of a complex enchantment."
Drat looked at Jay in slight surprise while the rest of the gathering looked worried and anxious.
"If Jay is right, and with this she normally is, there still may be the pool of dark magic that this beast stumbled upon," said Griver, shakily.
"And it needs to be taken care of ASAP," continued Lumos looking up at the group from her low vantage point on the ground.
"Make a circle and hold hands," instructed Jay, "we must cast our minds into the forest to locate the magic before some other unwary traveller comes across another of the enchantment's wretched creations."
Drat still looked a little doubtful but joined the ring anyway.
"Close your eyes and empty your mind of all though and emotion," Jay said calmly. "Feel as one with the wind. Repeat after me, keeping your mind blank. I cast out my mind, brave and bold, to find the magic dark and old. The path I must see so please show it to me."
The chant was taken up by Runner, Lumos, Griver and Drat and it resonated around the circle as a large blue ball of light grew in the center of the group.
When the sphere of light was around a foot in diameter, it split into 5 smaller balls that rose up into the sky and took off into the forest, searching for the pool of black magic. The lights wove around, over and under the plants in the forest until one of them found their quarry. A dark shimmering cloud floated an inch off the ground and in the middle of a clearing in the trees. It looked like a tear through reality. The ball of light whisked back to the entranced group and hovered in the middle while the other minds (as the lights were the mines cast out of the bodies) to return. As soon as all the lights converged and disappeared, the group snapped out of their trance.
