A/N: HA! I've started a new series now! My last one FLOPPED incredibly, so…just keep swimming; just keep swimming…GAH!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the Bartimaus Trilogy, Harry Potter, Finding Nemo, or the song 'One' from A Chorus Line.

Prologue: In Which Karma Is Brought Onto Earth.

Smoke filled the hall, billowing in dark purple plumes from the coals in the braziers set symmetrically around the pentacle in the marble floor. Nathaniel stood by it, calling Bartimaus…calling

The smoke exploded in silver flame, then immediately snuffed out, along with all the light in the room. A light grew in the middle of the room coming from far away, and growing, growing into a shape.

The lamps flickered back on. In the center of the marked circle sat a girl, who looked about Nathaniel's age, except for her long, silver hair and eyes glowing like molten silver, which were shielded by huge round glasses. A huge book lay open on knees, which she was writing in with a long white quill.

"Bartimaus?" Nathaniel stared down at the girl, who was still busily writing.
"Bar-oh, no." the girl stood up and put her quill and book elsewhere. Brushing off her white robe unnecessarily, she sighed. "He's gone. Vanished, disappeared. Of course, I had to take his calls."

"Who are you?" Nathaniel's eyes widened. A djinn who's name you didn't know was a djinn you couldn't control, and a djinn you couldn't control was as good as destroying London.

"You actually think I'll answer that?" the djinn took off her glasses and sent them to follow the book and quill. "However, you may call me Karma."
"Karma." Nathaniel blinked at her.

"Yes. That's what I do in my spare time, tell people when their karma is seriously screwed up."

"Yes, but what are you?"

"I'm Harry Potter!" her figure morphed until she was standing in the body of an 11-year old boy in black robes. Holding a little stick.

"I've found Flamel! I told you I'd read the name before!" The boy looked at Nathaniel. "Doesn't ring a bell, does it."

In a second, the boy formed into a platter of sushi, with a clownfish flopping next to it. "I found Nemo!" it gasped, then re-formed into the girl in her long silk robes. "You don't get it, do you."

Nathaniel just stared at her.

Karma blinked back, and then stood up straighter. Her figure gained ten years in appearance, and her robe morphed into a tight tuxedo-like outfit, complete with top hat and cane. She started dancing, singing. "One…singular sensation…every little step she takes…one…thrilling combination…every move that she makes…"

Nathaniel rubbed his forehead, and looked at the tap-dancing figure in the center of the circle.

"One smile and suddenly nobody…else…will…do…You know you'll never be lonely with you-know-who!" Karma receded into her normal appearance. "You look intimidated."

"But where's Bartimaus? Nathaniel asked.

"Haven't I told you?" Karma's eyes opened wide.

"No."

"Oh. I thought I had." Karma looked confused for a second, and then chirped, "I don't know."

"You told me that."

"I know. I just did. But really, it's the truth!"

"Gone? But djinns don't just disappear, do they?"

"Not without a reason." Karma smirked. "It appears we are traveling in the same direction now, Nathaniel."

Nathaniel stood outside of the ring in which Karma stood. Thoughts raced through his head. Where's Bartimaus? Why is he gone? But, most importantly, How does she know my name?

A/N: Short, I know, but this is just the pilot chapter to see if there's any interest in this. I am looking for ideas for other humans anddjinn and afrits and goblins and foliots and stuff like that, so I'll be taking OCs, maybe six or seven demons and people.

The form is like this (just an example for Karma)

Name: Karma
Species: Who knows…? (Djinn, probably)
Appearance (most often taken for demons): 14-year old girl with silver hair and eyes in a loose white silk robe.
Personality: A joker, but is really quite intelligent and powerful, and if you've done something wrong, she's going to come after you like an angry dog.

Okay, here's the form, so you can copy and paste.

Name:
Species:
Appearance:
Personality:

If you want to be a villain, you can put that on too.

Thanx y'all!
