POTTERY IN MOTION

PART 10

"Ok here we are," said James when he and the chaps stopped outside the Hogsmead hourglass Tim, the tallest building in all of Hogsmead.

They went inside and were instantly met by one of the Keepers of the Time. According to his tag he was called Mr Gimp and he had a peanut allergy.

"Hello sir can we have a tour it's for this project we have to do for school?" Jame asked.

"Certainly!" Mr Gimp replied and bid them to follow him.

The tour was extremely boring.

"Come this way and we can all sit down and see a movie about the invention of the minute," said Mr Gimp.

"We just want to see the top," said Sirius. "That's what our project is about. It's about the top of buildings."

"Oh?"

"Oh."

"It's true, because what is a tall building without the top?" said James. "The top makes it!"

"I suppose so. Hogwarts students?"

"Of course!"

"I suppose it makes sense now. Ok, this way, please."

Mr Gimp shoved aside gates to a lift and shoved the chaps inside.

A wind blew at the top of the great Hourglass.

"The top of Tim is not like most tops," said Mr Gimp. "It's an extraordinary top. You see, it was none other than Anne of Cleves who-"

Sirius uncapped a can of snakes. "Peanuts? Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't see your tag there!"

Invisible peanut particles travelled through Mr Gimp's pores so his face and neck swelled. He losened is collar and backed towards the lift.

"No snacks allowed!" he wheezed.

Then he confiscated the can and hurried to get some medical attention.

"Peanuts, what can't it do?" said Sirius.

Doing Wicca rituals was boring now. The chaps drew the symbol, held hands, said the enchantment and waited.

Then, as soon as the angry golem-seahorsi had been summoned they had their murderous eyes thoroughly blinded by the most powerful light the chaps could master and toppled backwards, one by one falling from the great Hourclass to their shattering death.

"Phew, looks like we got them all!" said James, spent and just wanting to spend the rest of the day playing Pong.

"Wait. Look," said Remus.

Below them, Clayopatra II was clinging to a bra that had gotten stuck to one of the clock hands.

"Rrrraaah!" she roared, her manicured fingers clutching the side of the roof top.

Sirius stepped on them.

"My naaaaails!" cried Clayopatra II as she fell.

It looked like this would finally put an end to the entire golem episode.

It certainly would have, had a random stranger on a flying carpet not swept by and rescude Clayopatra II last minute.

Damn perverts and them being everywhere!
