An Adventure for Martin Miggs, The Mad Muggle

An Adventure for Martin Miggs, The Mad Muggle

(In my story Martin isn't Mad.)

Martin Miggs was a mad, evil & gross muggle scientist. He lived in Madover Lane in a laboratory. Martin was the only muggle in the whole world & that was the way he liked it. Even if he couldn't use magic, he was still very powerful. One day, he was lazing around, as usual, looking for a way to have magical powers without being a wizard himself, when...

"I've found it!" exclaimed Martin, "2 cups Beetle Juice & 3/4 cups Spider Legs!"

He was still writing the blueprints for his "potion".

"Let's put it all together now!" said Martin, excitedly.

He boiled the Beetle Juice in a cauldron for half an hour. Afterwards, he was gradually popping the Spider Legs in, one by one & then he let the cauldron simmer. He dropped a spoon into the boiling, hot cauldron & fished some liquid out & drank it. It had a very, very bitter taste.

"Aaaarrgg," growled Martin.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning came flashing down. Martin turned into a.... wizard!

"I'M A WIZARD!" shouted Martin, angrily, "I DON'T WANT TO BE A WIZARD! MY BLUEPRINTS ALL WENT HORRIBLY WRONG!"

Martin then worked on a potion that would bring him back to his original self. Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning hit the lab's floor. It was shaking Martin as though he was being electrocuted. After all that riff-raff, a book that looked like a diary, appeared next to Martin's blueprints:

Mister,

I'm Tom Riddle. Please write your name here ___________ IN INK!

Martin scuttled around to find a quill & his ink bottle. When he had found it, he wrote his name on the line provided.

So, Martin Miggs, you want to turn back into a muggle, do you?

Martin scratched a, "YES" on the notebook. He wasn't very much used to ink & quills. He waited curiously for the directions (well, that's what he thought would come next)

All you have to do is follow these:

A POTION FOR MARTIN!!!

4 shoots of a juicy Mandrake (This is the vital ingredient)

3 leaves of Moon Weed

2 Spider legs that have been roasted ON AN OVEN

5 Salvaged Pea Grains with Dragon Root wrapped around it (salvaged means split)

8 cups Luke-warm Water

Method:

1# Mix everything in the PEWTER cauldron, except the Mandrake and the water.

2# Churn the water into the mixture (your PEWTER cauldron should NOT be on the fire yet)

3# Rip the Mandrake into tiny, microscopic pieces. Then, squeeze out all of the juice.

4# Bring your PEWTER cauldron to boil.

5# Slid the wasted Mandrake pieces into the cauldron, one at a time. Then, pour in the Khaki coloured juice & boil at maximum temperature.

6# Drink with your nose holes closed. You should turn into a muggle now...

Tom then paused & then pushed on.

Hope you like it, Martin.

Martin then wrote a, "Thank you" & closed the notebook. He had memorised the whole potion. Martin followed the directions & he then turned back into the happy & mad muggle that he was previously!

The End
