Somewhere in the Himalayas
Hermione had begun her search several day before, in hope of finding the fabled Staff of Merlin. This artifact was thought to contain the magical core of Merlin. She had read about it in a book she found in the depths of the Hogwarts library.
Her sixth year had ended with Dumbledore dead, and the world in mourning. Her parents had agreed to allow her trip to Nepal only after she had convinced them it was safer then staying home for the summer.
The mountainous terrain was extremely difficult to navigate, and only with the help of a magic ball of yarn (purchased in 'Spell Mart') was she able to continue her journey.
Reaching a small clearing, she set down her pack and sat down on the ground. The air was very thin, and she could feel the temperature dropping so she began to search for shelter. Finding a small cave a few yards from the clearing, she took out her wand and, lighting it, entered the cave.
'At least Nepal underage magic restrictions are almost nonexistent, or this trip would be a lot harder.' Hermione thought.
Hermione looked around the cave. It was bare except for a few rocks, and opening on the far wall. Making sure not to leave anything unchecked, she looked through the opening. Finding a small tunnel, she ducked down and crawled into it.
Continuing on, the tunnel opened up into a large cavern. Hermione could feel her wand vibrating from the shear magical energy in the air.
"This is the place, it has to be!" She yelled. Walking towards the center of the cavern, she could see the air rippling around it. Taking her wand, she cast a revealing charm, and a pedestal appeared.
Hermione walked closer to the pedestal, and instead of the staff she had thought to find, on the pedestal was a simple oil lamp. Walking closer she saw that it was made of pure gold, with gems inlaid in it.
Hermione, as everyone does when finding a lamp in a remote location, began to rub the lamp. Suddenly, the lamp began to vibrate and shake. Blue gas began to spew out of it. Suddenly she could hear a voice coming from the very center of the lamp.
"Who dare disturb my eternal rest?!" The voice roared.
"Well, it can't be eternal if I just woke you up." Hermione answered with her usual know-it-all-ness.
"First you wake me up, and then you mock me? Fine! See how you like it!"
The Lamp began to shake, and vibrate. Hermione could feel her body trying to pull itself apart. Frantically, she tried to cast Finite incantatum(sp?), but it did less than nothing. She could feel the very structure of her body begin to disappear. Looking down at herself, she finally realized what was happening. Her body was becoming a gas!
When the transformation had ended, Hermione couldn't feel any part of her body. 'Probably because I don't have any nerve endings or skin.' Suddenly, she could hear the voice again, despite having no ears.
"Now you'll see how it feels!" With that, Hermione realized that her gaseous form was being pulled into some sort of container. Although the container was solid, she could feel what was outside it.
'Lots of water…' she thought, wondering how she could have gotten from the middle of a cavern to the ocean. Suddenly she realized something. 'I'm in a soda can!'
Well, that's the end of the first chapter. Tell us what you think. Just a heads up that I'll probably be doing most of the writing, and thejabber will do most of the ideas.
