Please, please, please don't ask where the idea for this came from. Because I'm not sure myself…

Timing… late June 2011.

"Well, this is stupid," grumbled Dr. Insano. SOI had wanted to go to the Harry Potter theme park so here they were. All right, the use of science to impersonate magic was nice enough but there were too many people and he kept getting bumped into.

At least Spoony hadn't asked too many questions; he had been too excited about 'getting a new car' or something to care. So Dr. Insano and SOI were wandering through the theme park. As a pink orb SOI couldn't go on any roller coasters and Dr. Insano didn't want to leave him alone to ride one without him.

"This isn't a real wand!" came an irritable voice from a mock Ollivander's nearby. Dr. Insano halted, commenting, "Somebody's read the Harry Potter books a few too many times…"

"Riki-tee!" panicked SOI.

"No, not you. Not yet anyway."

"Riki-tee," sighed SOI. Dr. Insano should have known reading Harry Potter for bedtime stories would have backfired on him eventually- all his plans seemed to sooner or later.

But when an explosion came from the store, Dr. Insano's interest was piqued. Explosions were always fun. SOI purred eagerly, wanting to see the source of the explosion as well.

Bemusedly Dr. Insano poked his head into the wand store. "Can I help blowing stuff up?"

"YES!" shouted a woman in a black cloak and velvety violet gown, wielding a wooden staff topped with an orb, blasting everything she could with the staff. Sometimes the backlash would make her stumble but she kept going.

Laughing insanely, Dr. Insano got out the junior chemistry set he always had on him. Happily he and SOI made a scientific device with the storekeeper cowering behind the counter. Grabbing the woman by the hand, Dr. Insano told her, "Come on, this place will be stinky soon thanks to my and my son's stink bomb!"

"Bomb?" echoed the woman blankly but she let herself be pulled out of the store. When the stink bomb went off the stench was almost visible. Dr. Insano pumped his fist.

"FOR SCIENCE!"

"Ha. For magic is more like it," argued the woman. Glaring at her through his swirly goggles Dr. Insano asked, "Who are you, anyway? I'm Dr. Insano and this is Son of Insano or SOI for short."

"Riki-tee!" SOI chirruped happily.

"I'm Juno the Sorceress."

"Hi… so want to get a butterbeer and trade stories?"

"I like stories," agreed Juno, leaning on her staff. As they headed off she commented, "Dr. Insano?"

"Yes, Juno?"

"Thanks for the help."

"I like chaos; why were you causing it through?"

"The wands didn't actually do magic… I was hoping one would help me channel my magic better," Juno explained wistfully. Dr. Insano almost scoffed but then reconsidered- how would he feel if he couldn't do his SCIENCE properly? Pensively he commented, "That must be problematic."

"It is. I mean, I can do magic but it doesn't always go perfectly…"

"Well, neither does my science. Perhaps it is just their natures not to always work…"

"Perhaps."

"RIKI-TEE!" squealed SOI as the Hog's Head came into view, making the two adults exchange a look and laugh.
