Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is pretty good so far. Though the beginning has a very…angry mood. Anyway, I'm not going to let the real summer and school year of Harry's 5th year influence my version (Though Tonks is pretty cool!). Most of this chapter was written before the book came out, so any similarities are not plagiarism! Honest! Anyhow, great minds think alike, hehehe. It's just so annoying when I find things that JK Rowling wrote, that I was thinking to do. Grrr…anyhow, please enjoy the continuing story of ºoº Harry Potter Goes to Walt Disney World ºoº.
Chapter 27: More of MGM and the Origin of Tomás
[A/N: Be prepared. After writing this scene, I realized how ridiculously sappy it was…Also, this chapter is very long. Have fun!]
"…so they found you…" Lupin said silently to Harry as they walked back up Sunset Blvd. Harry had just told him what happened and all about Tomás. Snuffles was walking uncomfortably close to Harry now.
"I'm not safe anywhere! How am I going to go back to school?" Harry asked. "For all I know, they might send another spy or something."
"Dumbledore has taken many extra precautions for next term. There are going to be Auror guards and additional safety measures. All Hogsmeade trips have been cancelled as well."
"What!? Why? I'm the only one in danger aren't I?"
"Harry, the whole school is in danger. I shouldn't be telling you this, but…"
"But what?" Then Harry suddenly remembered. He had forgotten all about his dream from the night before. The Death eaters had gotten into the school and nearly murdered Dumbledore. That's why the school isn't safe. That's why the teachers have been so worried. Harry had to find out. "Professor Lupin, you must tell me what happened. I can take it! It's not like I haven't gotten bad news before."
"Well, this trip is not only for you and your classmates, but to get you away from You-Know-Who…you weren't very safe staying in England. Also to prepare you for next school term. See…No, Harry! I've already told you too much…Just wait patiently. All that you'll need to know will be in your school letter," Lupin said patiently as they strolled in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre.
"If it's about Dumbledore's attack…I already know," Harry said, looking down at his shoes. Lupin stopped walking and grabbed Harry's shoulder.
"Who told you?" Lupin asked sternly.
"Last night, when my scar burned…I…I…I dreamt that Dumbledore was attacked by Death Eaters. They had broken into the school…Lucius Malfoy was the first to attack. They all used the Cruciatus Curse on Dumbledore. Then Malfoy…he…he…" Harry choked up. He was surprised with the sudden overcome of emotions. His eyes were starting to tear. Harry squinted hard to stop them. He continued looking at his feet.
"Harry, how do you know all this? What did Malfoy do?"
Harry could barely say the words," Avada-K-…Avada…the killing curse…"
"Harry, how did you find this out. Don't lie to me."
"I told you!" Harry said, angry that Lupin didn't believe his dream. "I dreamt it last night!"
"What?" Lupin said, taken aback. There was a long period of silence between them. He began muttering to himself. "This is not good…premonitions…but backwards…how could this happen…"
"So it's true! Dumbledore was attacked?" Lupin slowly nodded his head. Harry felt deep grief within himself, but Lupin spoke up.
"But you have absolutely nothing to worry about! Madam Pomfrey says he's getting better. He' not dead, Harry. Believe me on this. Professor Dumbledore is not dead!" Harry looked up at Lupin, eyes flowing with tears. They began to dry up. "I would never lie to you, Harry."
"So…he's…all right?" Harry said in a very weak, childish voice. He couldn't help acting so helpless. Lupin nodded again. "Why didn't you tell us before if he's all right?"
"He's fine, but he's still very weak! Besides you, he's the only one to fight against the Avada Kedavra!" Lupin started hissing quietly so no one else would hear. "We didn't think it wise to tell all the students that their headmaster, greatest wizard of the age, is not even strong enough to sit himself up! We didn't think it wise to alarm you all that the one wizard whom was the only one our enemy feared was weaker than a helpless baby! We didn't think it wise to scare you all from coming back to Hogwarts!"
"Dumbledore is too…"
"Yes, Harry. That's why we can't stay in England. That's why we moved the castle here. That's why your summer holiday is in America." They sat there together again in silence. Snuffles had his head lying on Harry's lap and he looked up at him with big sad eyes. Harry held a far greater respect for Dumbledore and even more gratitude. He cared about his students and sent them away so they'd be safe. Harry felt the waterworks turning on again.
"Wait…paw prints…" Harry said remembering the dream (The warm summer night breeze squeezed through with the soft moonlight of the coming full moon…The first wizard had disappeared…leaving behind a trail of paw prints…). "There was a full moon too…Professor Lupin! You were that wizard!" He nodded again. Before Harry could cry out his gratitude, Mrs. Weasley called out.
"Harry! Remus! What are you two up to?" she called, walking towards them. "One minute you're right behind us, the next, we're waiting in line without you."
"Sorry, Molly," Remus said. He too was wiping a few tears. "Just talking to Harry here…Come on Harry, we don't want to miss this one…" Together the two stood up and walked away, both content that the other knew what they needed to know (the reader too). Harry was no longer stressed with the looming problem of Dumbledore. He was cursed by Death Eaters, but in the end, was still a strong wizard, still to be feared by the Dark Lord.

"I told Martha to make a light lunch, if you don't mind," George said, starting on a whole turkey.
"No, this is…fine…" Mr. Cornwallis said, taking one of the loaves of cornbread and cutting it into slices for everyone else. "So have you found a site yet, George?"
"Yes, we have. Some of the boys already started clearing some of the forest. My son, Ringo, and his friends are down there now."
"Site for what?" Penny asked, but she didn't get an answer.
"Paul, George, and Ringo…is your grandfather's name John by any chance?" one of the wizards, Wilkens, asked.
"Yes. How'd you know?" George replied. The English Muggle born wizards had the last laugh. After the laughter died down, Penny spoke up.
"Found a site for what?" Penelope asked again.
"The…uhh…" Percy began.
"For the school of course," the loud booming voice of George said. He picked up another whole turkey and began to tear off the meat.
"Well, you see Penny," Percy continued. "Headmaster Dumbledore had decided it was best if…well…we relocate Hogwarts."
"But why?"
"As Professor McGonagal has already said, Dumbledore had given the Hogwarts students a gift holiday to enjoy the Convention, which he was generously invited to, and to get to know America a little better. Dumbledore's big plan is to relocate Hogwarts to an unknown location around here, as well as make peace with our giant friends here."
"So…he's killing two birds with one stone. But why does he have to relocate the school?"
"Albus Dumbledore was attacked the end 'a last school year," Hagrid said immediately. "Those darn Death Eaters tried to kill 'im. 'ow could they think they could beat Dumbledore! Their bloody master was afeared of him for pete's sake!"
"Dumbly-dor 'ad already sent 'agrid and moi to diz America before 'e was attacked," Madame Maxime said finally. Penelope was surprised by her sudden appearance. "If 'agrid was still thair, 'e would 'ave squashed zem like zat!" she continued, slapping her hand on the table. Hagrid blushed.
"Is he all right?" Penny asked.
"Yes, he's fine," Percy continued. "Charlie was called immediately for some Dragon Blood and Madam Pomfrey has said they've been working round the clock, developing medicinal potions."
"That's good. Do the students know?"
"They should be told in their school letters."
"Wouldn't that be a bit much to say in a letter? Suppose they get intercepted?"
"They're sealed with Magic that only McGonagal could open."
***
"Thank goodness I sealed it with magic only I can counter-charm…I don't know why I was so worried someone would read them," Minerva McGonagal said to Mrs. Granger. She waved her wand and a sealed envelope labeled Hermione Granger, Suite 120, Animal Kingdom Lodge, "I believe this one is for your daughter."
"Thank you very much. I'll be sure to see that she gets it," Mrs. Granger said. "Uh, do you mind opening it."
"Oh yes, of course," McGonagal said, tracing her wand on the seal. "Just make sure no one suspicious looks at its contents. It has very important information we previously discussed at the Parents' Meeting. Keep it with you at all times and if it gets into the hands of someone not related to the student, it should self-incinerate. Thank you for everything and Have a good day!" She disapparated with a crack back to the Contemporary Hotel to put away the letters. A few minutes later, she apparated back. "Oh my, I haven't done that in a while. Sorry, if I frightened you, but that was much quicker than taking the shuttle."
"No…it's all right," Mrs. Granger said, still shocked from the first time she disappeared.
***
The Weasley's, Mr. Granger, Hermione, Oliver, Harry, Lupin, Snuffles, Sprout, and Flitwick were waiting in line at the Star Tours attraction. Professor Snape had left their group to go back to the Contemporary Hotel. He had had enough of the Disney-MGM Studios and the "silly Muggle rubbish" and claimed he wanted to put his feet up.
"What kept you three?" Hermione asked Harry while they were waiting in line, a forest area with giant metal robots and things. "Did you see Tomás? Did Lupin try and protect you? What happened?"
"We're fine, Hermione," Harry said. "I was just talking to him about last night."
"About how your scar hurt?"
"And about my dream…"
"That reminds me! I had the most horrible nightmare last night! Dumbeldore was-"
"Wait, you too?" Harry was as surprised as Lupin was when he told him. The word "premonition" danced in Harry's head.
"It was the most horrible thing ever! Malfoy's father was there and he-he-he…"
"I know, Hermione. I think we both had a premonition."
"That's impossible! No witch or wizards get premonitions these days! That's all baloney! I can't get premonitions! I'm not about to take a leaf out of Trewlaney's book! Harry that's impossible!"
"Then what was it, huh? It's happened before! Remember last year, and my dream about that old man at Riddle's house? What the that? Because Professor Lupin said that Dumbledore was attacked and-" The twins, Ginny, Oliver, and Ron all turned around and looked at the two. Lupin was behind them and looked very ashamed. Why didn't he just tell Harry it was just a nightmare he shouldn't worry about?
"I better not tell you here…"Lupin sighed. "Just wait until we're out of this. And you he points at Harry and Hermione, not a word out of either of you. It's better if it comes out of someone who knows the truth…"
The line continued inside and finally the group reached the loading area. There were separate lines separated by metal dividers that all lead to a doorway. Television screens hung above the lines. A brief video explained their star tour of the Moon of Endor.
"Galactic Regulations require that all carry-on items be safely stowed beneath your seat…" the video continued as it explained the safety restraints and such. Finally, the doors slid open and the guests boarded the cabin of the StarSpeeder. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Oliver and the twins took seats in the back row while the adults sat in the middle.
C-3PO appeared in a small screen to the right and explained yet again the safety procedures. "Smoking and Flash Photograpy are strictly prohibited. Thank you and enjoy you're flight." After everyone was buckled up the doors slid shut and the spacecraft came to life. A droid named Rex was their pilot and began their flight.
"Welcome aboard! This is Captain Rex speaking from the cockpit. I know this is probably you're first flight, mine too. It looks like we'll have a smooth flight to Endor, so I'll go ahead and open the cockpit shield." The wall shifted to the side and a very large window, rather screen, appeared revealing an air hanger. Flitwick was bouncing up and down again.
"Muggle Space flight! How exciting!" He whispered to Sprout. The StarSpeeder soon left the Hanger and the adventure in space had begun…
***
"Wicked! That was great! The best ride ever! Even better than that Body Wars thing in EPCOT!" Ron said, exiting the ride with the others.
"Ron, they were almost exactly the same," Hermione said.
"What's next?" Harry asked, changing the subject and steering away from Hermione and Ron bickering.
"Professor Lupin is supposed to tell us what happened to Professor Dumbledore," Ginny said, looking up at Lupin. Snuffles pulled Lupin closer to them.
"What happened? Did he die?" George asked, though not intending to sound funny.
"Dumbledore is completely fine and healthy. You all shouldn't be worried…" Lupin started to explain.
"So then why wouldn't they tell us before?" Fred interrupted.
"But…"
"Remus, what the heck are you talking about?" Mr. Weasley said suddenly, joining their conversation.
"He was just about to tell us-"
"As I live and breathe, Oh my gosh we found him again!" Mary Sue cried all in one breath, pointing at Harry, jumping up and down. Her friends, as well as many others with her, all looked up and started to race towards him.
"Oh my gosh! Hairy Potter! You have to sign my book!" a boy said, thrusting a WDW autograph book under Harry's nose.
"Look! Hairy Potter's friends!" another girl said. Some of the girls rushed to get their autographs. Harry was very embarrassed and also angry at the mob.
"This is swell," Fred said, signing his name in a frilly pink book. The books owner looked at it, sighed and squealed as she held it close to her chest in search of another friend of Harry Potter. "I could really get used to this!" Oliver was surrounded by girls and was having his share of delights. Meanwhile, Ginny and Ron stood annoyed, having yet again denied valuable information. Hermione was standing at the side, rolling her eyes and tutting. Abigail Franklin was not too far from her, doing the exact same thing. Harry was on his hands and knees, crawling away from the crowd.
"Hi Harry! My name is-Where'd he go? Where'd he go?" a boy said, looking around.
"Enough of this," a cast member said, shooing away the crowd. "We thank you for visiting the Star Tours attraction, but please clear the area, as some of our guests try to exit." Harry had popped up like a gopher in front of Hermione.
"I'll be…uh…under a rock…" Harry said to her, leaving again to hide in the bushes.
"Oh! He's gone!" Mary Sue said, looking around.
Ginny cried out in a very fake, girly voice. "He went that way!" The mob rampaged down towards Echo Lake, trusting Ginny's false information.
"What was that?" Professor Sprout asked, exiting the unblocked exit.
"American Teenagers," Mrs. Weasley sighed. "Harry? Where are you? It's safe now…" Harry peered over the top of the hedge he was behind. Snuffles barked and looked over at Harry and everyone turned towards them.
"Where's my Dad's old cloak when I need it…" Harry muttered to himself, stepping over the hedge, Mrs. Weasley helping him out. "We better head in the opposite direction."
"New York Street looks good," Mr. Weasley said, scanning his map. "There's another one of them '3B' shows!"
"The farther away from the exit, the better," Lupin said. They set off south, towards the back of the park. The kids were following Lupin closely while Snuffles was walking unreasonably fast, pulling Lupin and the group with him. "Snuffles, slow down!"
"Hello, Professor Flitwick," George said suddenly, squatting down. "So what's the latest news at Hogwarts?"
"I am not saying a word," Flitwick said firmly.
"But Professor, we have a right to know what happened to Dumbledore! If he's not dead, what worse news could there be?"
"Oh, it's…it's…he's fine, and that's that," Flitwick said, feeling worried that he said that much.
"But Professor Flitwick, we know that much al-"
"Laryngitis Maximo," Flitwick exclaimed, George's voice disappearing. "See if you could get out of that!"
"But Dad took my wand!" George mouthed. Meanwhile, the other twin tried the other professor…
"You were just going to tell us Professor!" Fred said. "The suspense is killing us!"
"You know, if you don't think these students can handle it," Oliver started, "You can kindly inform the rest of the staff what's going on…"
"Okay, fine!" Lupin said, wishing to get these kids off his back. Sprout and Flitwick cried in protest, but Lupin ignored them. Heads of flaming red and one of brown surrounded Lupin as he explained to them about Dumbledore.
"Is that all?" Fred said, disappointed. "No crazy distortions or spells gone wrong?"
"Frederick Weasley! This is a very big deal," Professor Lupin said. "If you're not at all worried for the welfare of your headmaster as well as your school, then I don't know where your priorities lie."
"Sorry, Professor. I were only joking. Weren't I, George? George?" The group found themselves in some sort of town square. The comical background music added to the laughable atmosphere. A pig character sat atop a very detailed, child-friendly water fountain that stood in front of a large brick building. A hot air balloon with the face of a very green, cartoonic frog floated above the building. Above the entrance was a sign with the same frog, welcoming guests.
"Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D," Hermione read, as they passed through the entrance. "What on earth is a muppet?"
"Hermione, you know what kappas and red caps and nifflers and grindylows are," Ron began, "but you don't know what a muppet is?"
"Oh, shut it, Ron. It's not like you know what one is either."
"Yes I do. They're uhh…frog creatures…that uh…they're a gang of frogs that put on 3B shows."
"Ron, anyone could've inferred that from just looking at that sign," Hermione said. The group found themselves in a long carpeted corridor with fake doors and odd posters of the Muppets. They were given the same old yellow 3D glasses.
"Gonzo the Great? Fozzie Bear? Rizzo the Rat?" Ginny said, reading the posters and doors. "Those are funny names for creatures."
"They look like puppets. Oh, I get it! Muppets! Puppets!" Ron said finally. Some of the doors had funny sayings as well.
"Stress Testing Dept: Caution! Contents Under Extreme Pressure," Fred laughed, reading a door.
Meanwhile, a gazelle's head appeared out of nowhere in a shady corner, and turned into Tomás. He pulled off the rest of the cloak and followed them into the theater.
***
After a laugh-a-minute hilariously funny 4D Muppet*Vision show later, the group exited into yet another rainstorm.
"Is it raining again?" Ginny said. "Didn't it stop already?"
"Crazy Florida weather," Hermione said, looking up at the gray clouds that had suddenly blocked out the sun.
"Let's make a run for the next show!" Fred said, pointing at how close the Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame-A Muscial Adventure show was. The theatre had a large metal canopy, perfect shelter from the pattering rain.
"If you want to go, we better hurry," Mr. Weasley said, looking at the Show Times Guide insert with the park map. "The next show starts in two minutes."
"Flitwick and I would love to join you, but we better check on the school letters with Minerva," Professor Sprout said. The two waved goodbye and head out into the rain towards the park exit. The group raced across the pavement street and soon were under the shelter of the theatre. Behind them was an odd tall space cushion gliding through the rain. [A/N: He's under an invisibility cloak, walking through the rain, so obviously there's a space that no one's walking through but the rain is hitting it. Think of it like a badly produced blue-screen and you can see the outline of the cloak.] The MGM guests stared at it with apprehension. One man laughed it off, "Now how did they do that?"
Stupid Muggle, Tomás thought. Don't believe magic when it's right under their nose.
The character Clopin, resident Gypsy entertainer of Paris, began to tell the tale of the Hunchback…
♪♫♪
Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame
"We visited the cathedral when we went to France two summers ago," Hermione said, remembering her holiday.
Listen, they're beautiful, no?
So many colors of sound, so many changing moods
Because you know, they don't ring all by themselves
(They don't?)
No, silly boy.
Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower
Lives the mysterious bell ringer.
Who is this creature (Who?)
What is he? (What?)
How did he come to be there (How?)
Hush, and Clopin will tell you
It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster.
♪♫♪
Whatever their pitch, you
Can feel them bewitch you
The rich and the ritual knells
Of the Bells of Notre Dame
The music played the finale of the show and the audience stood up and applauded with great delight. [A/N: This attraction is no longer at Disney-MGM. L ]
"The costumes were simply wonderful," Ginny said, remembering the dressed and outfits of the characters from Paris.
"I wish they had a real Festival like that," Fred said, remembering the Festival of Fools.
"Yeah, you two would fit right in," Mrs. Weasley said. The sun was shining again and the group exited the theatre. While laughing and chatting about the show, they headed towards Mickey Ave. and passed the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure.
"Oh, Mum can we go in there?" Ginny asked, pointing to the area of giant blades of grass and hose and mushrooms and things.
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," Mr. Weasley said, reading the sign above the entrance.
"Oh don't be silly, Arthur. They built it like this," Mrs. Weasley said, sitting down at a table with Mr. Granger and Mr. Weasley. "All right, kids, you have twenty minutes!" Ginny, the twins, Oliver, Harry, Ron, and Hermione ran into the play area. Though they didn't care it'd be a bit childish to play in a playground. Everyone was as small as a child in this place where grass posed as trees and a giant Lego brick posed as a house. Snuffles struggled with Lupin to go in, but Lupin made him stay.
"I know you want to protect, Harry," Lupin said, looking down at Snuffles, "but it'd seem a bit odd for a blind man and his dog walking through a children's playground." Snuffles whimpered. He crossed his back legs together and jumped up and down.
"What? Ohhh…I'll be back, Molly. I think Snuffles needs to use the little dog's room," Lupin said as Snuffles pulled away towards the bathroom, Lupin sprinting to keep up…
"Harry! Ron! Up here!" George called…er, mouthed. He was still under the effect of the Laryngitis Maximo.
"What's the matter George?" Fred asked. "You haven't spoken a word since after Star Tours…Harry! Ron! We're up here!" the twins and Oliver were all the way up at the top of a series of cargo nets they had climbed up.
"How'd you get up there so fast?" Ron asked from down below. He and Harry started climbing up the nets. Ginny and Hermione had found an odd set of stepping-stones. They were jumping up and down them, for each time you stepped on one, it made a chime.
"Jingle-bells! Jingle-bells! Jingle-all-the-way," Hermione sang, making a tune. The kids were having so much that they didn't notice a certain cast member was watching them from behind a mushroom.
"Harry Potter, you're right in my trap," Tomás said, watching Harry climb the cargo nets. Ron had already made it to the top, but Harry was taking his time. There were no other guests on the white nets, which did not strike odd to the others. Tomás took out his wand. "Arachnidia!" An enormous spider appeared out of nowhere in front of Harry on the net.
"Ahhhhhhh! Harry watch out!" Ron said, who had been watching Harry climb. Hermione heard Ron's yell and looked over.
"Oh no! Tomás!" she cried, realizing the handy-work of the wizard. At the sound of his own name, Tomás looked up and saw Hermione whisking out her wand to save Harry. Harry meanwhile, had froze and was staring mercilessly at the giant spider.
It's just part of the attraction. It's just part of the attraction… Harry thought to himself, though he knew he was wrong. Oliver had started climbing down, though with great caution, to help Harry.
"Don't worry, Harry! I'm coming," Oliver said, reaching down at Harry, who was now lying on his back. He grabbed Harry's collar and started pulling him up.
Hermione started saying curses and waving her wand at the spider. The other guests who heard Ron looked at them with terror and were too appalled to speak. They looked at the spider, and then Harry, and then Hermione, who looking rather mad since she was waving a stick. Lupin and Snuffles came out of the bathroom. They happened to stroll into the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set and Lupin saw what was going on. Ginny turned around and saw them.
"Oh Professor Lupin! Help! There's a giant spider attacking Harry!" Ginny screamed. Lupin started to think fast. He turned to go behind one of the giant pieces of Cheerios. "Where are you going?"
"Sirius, we have to do this quickly and we can't break out of character," Lupin whispered. Ginny had followed them inside. Sirius transformed before her eyes. She opened her mouth to scream. "No Ginny! It's all right! Listen to me. This is what we're going to do…"
Harry and Oliver had managed to get away from the spider and they climbed up to the top with Ron and the twins. The spider continued to climb up. They soon were trapped and Tomás was laughing like a maniac. Finally, one of Hermione's curses worked and the Spider stopped moving and froze on the cargo net. Lupin, Ginny, and Sirius emerged, looking different in odd costumes. Lupin had a white cap that read "Director" on the front and wore a vest over his shirt that also read "Director". He still had his sunglasses on and was holding a megaphone in his hand. Sirius was holding a Muggle movie camera and had black framed spectacles and his hair was in a ponytail. This was the first time he appeared human in public during this trip. He wore jeans and a t-shirt that read "Cameraman" on the back. Ginny was chewing gum and holding a beautician's make-up case and a large brush.
"Well done Miss Granger!" Lupin called through his megaphone. "Let's get those kids down from there." Harry, Ron, the twins, and Oliver looked utterly confused.
"Uh…thank you Profes- er Drama Coach!" she called back. She squinted at his hat. "Er…I mean Director! Silly me, always forget…"
"Miss Granger could use a little make-up," Lupin said aside to Ginny. "Please clear the area folks. I'm terribly sorry you got involved in this." The Muggles all looked at him with amazement and started waving at the camera that Sirius was panning around. Tomás stood absolutely flabbergasted and knew his plan failed. He disappeared with a crack to plot his next plan elsewhere.
Ginny had made her way over to Hermione and started brushing powder on Hermione's nose. The boys soon got the idea and climbed down, carrying the spider as if it were a prop. Ron just followed behind.
"Are you a movie director from Hollywood?" A muggle man asked Lupin.
"Why yes! I'm actually a television director from England of a new show called uh…Witch Weekly…uhh…" Lupin said, recalling anything that came to mind.
"I saw you at the Animal Kingdom Lodge," a muggle woman with a southern accent said. "Isn't your name Professor Lupin?"
"Uh…yes…"
"And is that kid that star Harry Potter that all those teenagers were wooing about all over the park?" a grandmother asked. It all fit in perfectly.
"Why yes, he's the new star," Lupin said, continuing to make up lies.
"I thought you said the show was called Witch Weekly."
"Did I say star? I meant co-star…"
"We better go and take them to their trailers," Sirius muttered.
"Splendid idea, Siri…er, Cyrano," Lupin said. Sirius frowned at his fake name. "Good-bye everyone!"
"Good-bye!" the guests called, excited to have met a "real" television director and stars all the way from England. The kids and Sirius followed Lupin out of the set and congratulated him. The twins and Oliver were still carrying the spider. Ron was walking far from them.
"Well done, Professor," Fred said, slapping him on the back. "That was a great prank!"
"It got you out of that mess didn't it? But that was too close! We have to be more careful!" Lupin said.
"What happened?" Mrs. Weasley asked when she saw them. She didn't look to happy. She especially freaked out when she saw Sirius. "What's he doing here like that?"
"Who is that anyway?" George mouthed, pointing at Cyrano, the cameraman.
"Who is that anyway?" Fred asked. "George wants to know, and so do I. And where's Snuffles?"
"This is just splendid," Lupin said sarcatically. They all sat down to explain all about Sirius Black. Mr. Weasley listened intently while Mr. Granger held Hermione close to him, having watched the Muggle news and reading the papers. Hermione basically did all the explanations, and they all felt better about the so called criminal and felt sorry for poor Sirius Black.
"But what about what happened in there?" Mrs. Weasley asked impatiently.
"This may take a while to explain, Molly. But first, I want to know why you conjured a spider, Hermione," Lupin said. "You've been doing a lot of illegal magic, young lady."
"It wasn't me! I was only trying to save Harry!" Hermione said. "I bet you anything Tomás conjured it up. It looks like I was wrong. He wasn't waiting for us at the exit. He followed us…"
"What's all this about that Tomás fellow?" Mrs. Weasley interrupted. They tried to explain again talking at once. Finally, Mrs. Weasley got the gist of it. Lupin then explained his plan about pretending to be a television director and how the same had happened with Hermione, Penny, and Percy. Speaking of Percy…
***
"That was a wonderful meal, Mr. Bunyan," Percy said, shaking George's enormous pinky finger. The others all muttered their thanks, still afraid of the giants. After all, they were at least 20 feet each.
"You should be thanking the Missus…So anyhow, I can show you the sight now," George said, his very loud stentorian voice echoing in the giant cabin. They all headed back out into the sunlight and started walking past the forest. The wizards and Penny, as well as Hagrid and Madame Maxime, had to run to keep up with George. They followed a trail marked by deep trenches in the dirt and leaf littered floor. After about a half hour of running through the forest, they found themselves in a nice clearing where five other giants, even taller than George Bunyan, were busy clearing away logs and loading them onto a cart with wheels the size of a small ferris wheel. Hitched to the cart was an enormous baby blue ox.
"This is it! What do you think?" George said, beaming at the area they had cleared. The clearing seemed big enough for two Hogwarts castles.
"Uhh, George, this is better than perfect!" Mr. Cornwallis said, spreading out his arms. "It's positively brilliant! We better start setting up the posts."
"What posts?" Penny asked.
"We're setting up posts to create a giant transportal connected to the Hogwarts grounds to transfer the castle," Wilkens explained.
"You're going to move a whole castle?"
"Yes, with some simple levitating spells and a few giants to help carry it," Percy said as if they were simply moving a box. "It shouldn't be too hard."
"But Percy, that's a giant stone, ancient castle you have to move!"
"Well, Dumbledore says we can manage it." The moving continued and they all started setting up the transportals. Night began to fall over the forest and giant gas lamps were lit as the sun began to set. The transportal was complete and Mr. Cornwallis switched it on. A view of Hogwarts castle, all the way in England was shown. It was darker, because it had already been night there.
"Want to give it a try?" Percy asked Penny. He held her hand and together they walked through the portal.
"That's amazing!" Penny exclaimed, looking back at the forest of Montana. Professor Dumbledore was sitting in a wheeled-chair with Madam Pomfrey, waiting for them.
"Ahh, Mr. Weasley, Miss Clearwater. How wonderful to see you both," Dumbledore said, sounding very healthy. "I see that the portal is in fine working order. Well done!"
"Are those really giants, Albus?" Madam Pomfrey asked, looking through the portal. Ringo and one of his friends gave them a wave.
"They're standing right in front of you Poppy," Dumbledore said. "Is there reason to not believe your own eyes? Now let's see. We better try moving in the morning. Good night to you all. I need my rest. Tomorrow will be a big day." Madam Pomfrey pushed him around as Percy and Penny walked back through the portal.
"Dumbledore says, we should try to start moving in the morning," Percy reported to Mr. Cornwallis.
"Splendid, splendid," Mr. Cornwallis said. "George, I think you could tell your boys that they could stop working now."
"You can call it a day Ringo! It's quittin' time!" George yelled, causing the trees to shake and quake. "Babe, you can start pulling back towards the mill."
Babe the Blue Ox began pulling the cart back out of the forest with the wizards and giants following. Dumbledore's big plan was working. He had made friendly relations with the giants and managed to find a place to get Hogwarts out of harm's way. Little did he know that his students were in danger…

"He has too many people around him! We have to get him alone," Tomás said, back at the Savannah plain. He was back in his gazelle form and was talking to a giraffe, two other gazelles, and a zebra. Rather, he was inside their heads. If you haven't figured it out already, but Tomás is the mysterious voice.
"Perhaps you could trap him in a book, like you were," the zebra said, recalling Tomás's past.
"That's a stupid…wait, you have some sense there Zeke…Bring me my diary," Tomás said. One of the other gazelles trotted off and returned with a tattered black diary in his mouth. It had a hole right in the center of it and most of the pages were splattered in ink and blood.
"The diary of T.M. Riddle…the brilliant idea of a boy and the Dark Lord…my brilliant idea…Mwahahahaha!" Tomás laughed. The other laughed with him. "They all thought the memory of Tom Riddle was dead! But no! He was still very much alive! Stupid Potter! I owe him my life though. For it was he that returned this tattered old book to Lucius Malfoy!"
[A/N: Sorry if any of you think this is stupid. I thought the idea was pretty cool.]
Flashback! The Origin of Tomás…
"You think you can fix it? Get the spirit out again?" Lucius Malfoy asked a man at a tavern somewhere in Africa.
"If the price is right," the man replied. He had dark black hair and spoke with a Spanish accent.
"I'll give you 2,000 galleons. No more. No less."
"Done! I'll give it to you in a week or so."
"Good. The Dark Lord is very much satisfied with your work. I've only just spoken to him. He couldn't get to that stupid Potter the first time. The boy knows we're back and he knows that we're out to get him. With this, he'll be utterly surprised." With that said, the two laughed maliciously and the old Spanish man transformed into a gazelle right at the table. The diary of T.M. Riddle was in his mouth and he pranced away into the darkness.
***
"Ink doesn't work anymore…How can I get you to talk again?" the Spanish man said a loud in a small hut in a real Savannah plain, somewhere in Africa. "Maybe if I carve words into your paper…" The man took a crudely made knife, tied to a piece of wood with a leather string. He began to rip the paper with the knife. "Hello- Ahhhh!" The pan accidentally pierced his own finger that was holding the book down as he carved with the knife. A drop of blood dripped onto the page and was absorbed. [A/N: OMG! It is not a rip off of Umbridge's detention. I thought of this waaaayyyyy before the book came out! Be careful. It gets very graphic with the blood. So if you don't like blood, stay away from this scene.]
"¿Ay Dios Mio!" the man exclaimed. He let more blood drip onto the pages of the diary and they were absorbed. Soon words formed with the same drops of blood and T.M. Riddle came alive once more.
"Who's there?" said the very scribbled message. It was almost illegible. "Give me more of this! More blood!" The Spanish man did what he was ordered and soon he gave so much blood he was looking very pale. They began writing back and forth about Voldemort and Harry Potter and the life of this man. Soon the messages written by Riddle were clearer.
"Potter must die! Look what's he done to me! Destroyed my book! My memory! Give me more blood!" The Spanish man was soon crying as he let his blood flow into the book. The man was getting extremely weak, having given so much blood, but Riddle kept asking for more. Soon he had done to this man what he had done to Ginny. He used the man's blood to become alive again. Though since it was this Spanish man's blood, Tom Riddle was very much like the man. Soon the man collapsed over his knife, and blood started flowing more and more into the opened diary. Tomás Riddle was reborn…
[A/N: Disgusting…So know you know. Tomás is T.M. Riddle, resurrected with the blood of life from this mysterious Spanish man.]

"Father, that looks like Harry Potter owl," Draco Malfoy said, looking out his window. Lucius put down the Daily Prophet and stood up to see what his son was talking about. "Can I catch it to read his mail?"
"Now, Draco, we don't want to be caught with that kind of crime. Here's a rope…" They caught Hedwig and she started struggling in the hands of the good for nothing Malfoys. Draco unrolled the parchment and read Harry's letter that was meant for his friends. "There's nothing here but an announcement of his holiday. Isn't that convention thing where he's going, Father?"
"Yes. I think it would be nice to pay Walt Disney World a visit…Our guest may very well like to see Harry Potter."
"But I don't want Harry Potter to ruin my Potter free holiday," Draco complained. "Besides, what does Tomás care for Harry Potter anyway? You don't know if he'd want to go!"
"He very much wants to meet him so we're going and that's that," Lucius said. He took the letter from Draco and began to roll it up again. He read it again, and something caught his eye. "Piggywink's? Now where have I heard that before?"
"Isn't she that witch in loads of trouble for doing magic on Muggles?"
***
"Well where is he now?" Mrs. Weasley asked, frightened for Harry's sake.
"We don't know, but we must be extra careful," Lupin said. "Sirius, you better change back before those who read USA Today notice you."
"This is so awesome! We're pretending to be Television stars while prancing around Disney World with a criminal dog and at the same time dodging a crazy Death Eater!" Fred said. "This is the best holiday ever!"
The group decided it was best to act normal so that they'd blend in better with the crowds at MGM. They knew that leaving now would be what Tomás was expecting. They rode the Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour by tram-car.
"Here is the actual house used in the opening scenes for the hit TV show The Golden Girls in the 1980's," the tour guide said as the tram passed through a street with all kinds of houses. Many Muggles gasped and started taking pictures.
"I think I'd find it more amazing if we actually owned a TB," Ron said to Harry as an excited old lady began clicking away with her camera. Soon the tram was driven into crisis as they were left in Catastrophe Canyon. The tram began to quake and shake and flames erupted in the canyon as a truck began to move. It soon started to rain and the guests were getting sprayed.
"It's raining again?" Ginny asked as the simulated rain poured under a clear dark blue sky.
"The rain drops are refreshing," Fred said sticking his head out of the tram. The guide suddenly spoke again.
"Please keep all body parts inside the tram at all times please," he said. "Or you'll be soaked."
"What do you mean?" Fred asked, pulling back in. A sound of a lot of rushing water reached there ears. Soon water crushed out of the canyon and flooded the area.
"Oh no! We're going to get wet!" Hermione said. She was sitting at the edge of the tram, and she pulled on her poncho. Soon the show ended and all the guest clapped at the movie simulation. The guide drove the tram around the back of the fake canyon and explained how everything was done.
"Did you get a picture of those pipes, dear?" Mr. Weasley asked, nagging his wife. "Oh look! Get a picture of that!"
"Now the electricity needed are provided by these generators," the guide continued.
"Look Molly! Plugs!" Arthur Weasley said excitedly, pointing to them. Muggle guests looked at him with surprise. The ride soon ended and they all piled off the tram and headed towards the front of the park. Oliver made the next decision and they found themselves at the very large amphitheatre for the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. They were a little late, but they enjoyed the show just as if they saw the whole show.
"Indy!" Marian cried as she climbed above the fake building in the pretend village market.
"Marian, come on!" Indiana Jones said. After more fighting and explosions and stunts and comedy, the show ended, as the 2,000 guests applauded the wonderful stunt show.
"Good choice, Oliver," George mouthed.
"Good Choice, Oliver," Fred said. "George days the same."
"Oh for Pete's sake," Hermione said, uncursing George. George began talking very fast just like Ron had before.
"ButDadtookmywand!ProfessorFlitwickwhatdidyoudotome?…(lots of speech from the day)…thatwasagreatshow.Goodchoice,Oliver," George was out of breath, having talked so much. Though he was no longer under the Laryngitis Maximo curse, George remained quieter than usual for the remainder of the night.
"Where are we going for dinner?" Ron asked as they past Echo Lake.
"The Sci-Fi Dine In Theatre Restaurant," Mr. Weasley said. "I made reservations this morning. You're going to love it! Afterwards, we can see the Fantasmic show." They walked all the way to Commisary Lane and to the building marked "E" on the map. Once inside, they heard a lot of talking and the sounds of a horrow movie. Though the bulk of the inside was blocked by a tall wood panels and such. Professor McGonagal and Mrs. Granger were waiting for them. After checking in at the front desk, the waiters led them into the theatre.
"Wow!" George said. "Wow" pretty much summed it up. The restaurant was set up like they were outside in front of a giant movie screen.
"It's another one of them TB's," Ron said. "And look! There are cars everywhere!" He was right. Instead of tables and chairs, old open 1950's convertibles were equipped with counters and cushiony seats. All the cars faced the movie screen where everyone was watching old Sci-Fi flicks.
"It's like a drive-in theatre," Hermione said.
"A what?" Harry asked.
"Glad you asked, Harry," Hermione said, beaming. She began to explain the history of American Drive-In theatres. As they sat down in their cars. Each car had three sections fitting about three people each. Harry and Ron took the front seat, Hermione and Ginny in the middle, and the twins and Oliver sat in the back. The next car over sat Mr. And Mrs. Weasley in the front, Mr. And Mrs. Granger in the middle, Lupin, Snuffles, and McGonagal in the back. They all enjoyed eating and watching "The Blob" and "The Giant Killer Tomato" and such. It was truly a wonderful experience, for it wasn't a dinner and a movie, but a magical meal that could only be provided by the magic of those Muggles at Disney.
It's been a long time since November 7th so here's a little guide to remind all you dear readers what has happened only three days ago at WDW! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ FROM CHAPTER ONE! I do not intend to ruin the story for first time readers, so if you're first time reading, go back to Chapter one, please, to enjoy the full story of HPG2WDW. You're not being tested on it anyway.
Harry Potter Goes to Walt Disney World: The Cliff Notes Reader Recap version a.k.a. the reason why Kram had taken so long to post this chapter.
Chapter 1: Harry sends a letter to his friends through Hedwig about his vacation with the Dursleys. We also learn about Dudley's attendance to Miss Piggywink's School for the Obese and the new improved Dudley.
Chapter 2: Plane ride to Florida. A witch stewardess notices Harry and gives him complimentary peanuts.
Chapter 3: The Dursleys and Harry arrive at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and learn that the Animal Kingdom is NaHTaZu (Not a Zoo). The hotel is set in a lush African savannah plain where animals roam free (within the confides of the WDW property)! While watching the animals from the balcony, Harry sees an unknown blonde perform magic. Another familiar character is introduced when Harry could see the works of a certain clumsy wizard.
Chapter 4: Neville and Grammy Longbottom join Harry and the Dursleys on the shuttle to the Mag…er…Castleland. Vernon and Petunia realize they are magicfolk and they call themselves Marigold, Walter (Dudley), and Uvvern (Uncle Vernon was so nervous, he stuttered and Gram thought that was his name.) Before the shuttle departs, Colin Creevey and brother, Dennis, come aboard and deliver Harry a package from Hermione. They had caught Hedwig and knew where to find him. We learn Hermione has been with Viktor Krum and is returning early for a surprise trip from her parents. Here the reader learns about a pattern or events and can foreshadow that more Hogwarts students will arrive. The end of the chapter introduces a family with red hair.
Chapter 5: The Weasleys arrive, without Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George (The twins will arrive later). Ron is angry with Hermione and soon the shuttle arrives at the Transportation and Ticket center, where the wizards first see the Monorail, which Mr. Weasley, who is ecstatic with all the Muggle objects, calls the Mongo-rail. Percy takes out his instant camera, which has key importance later in the story. The monorail passes through the Contemporary hotel and arrives at the Magic Kingdom, where everyone is amazed and bewildered with the beauty of Cinderella's castle. The group splits up with the Creeveys taking the Walt Disney World Railroad on Main Street, the adults headed to Adventure land, and Percy and the other teens head to Tomorrowland. Then that group splits up with Harry and Ron heading to the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter. Here, we find out where Hermione's parents surprise vacation was planned at. (Duh!)
Chapter 6: Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Mr. Granger experience the Alien Encounter, but Harry gets stuck in his seat at then end. A cast member, Tomás, had told Harry that he'd have to stay on the ride until it can be fixed, and Harry is a little bit scared.
Chapter 7: Harry finds Dudley, Neville, Percy, and Ginny among the group of guests (Chinese tourists and two blondes). They experience the ride again, but something goes wrong. All the Muggles are asleep and Tomás comes to the rescue. He claims to have put a sleeping charm on any Muggle in the theater so he could meet Harry. Harry sees that the two blondes have not fallen asleep, but were awake and disapparated. They all leave the attraction to meet the others and they go on Space Mountain and the Carrousel of Progress. When in line for the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, Harry discusses the blondes with Ron and sees them at the exit of the Speedway. They had just bumped into the car holding Seamus Finnigan and Justin Finch-Fletchley. They talk about the weirdness of them all being there and then all head to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café. All the Muggles steer away from the restaurant and the group notices the many wizards. A booming voice welcomes them to the 92nd Wizards' Convention.
Chapter 8: Ludo Bagman had just welcomed them to the Convention. They all see that their Hogwarts friends and classmates are all there. The Weasley twins have come with Lee Jordan. Professors McGonagal, Sprout, Flitwick, and Snape have arrived. McGonagal speaks to the students about Professor Dumbledore's gift of holiday trip to them. The professors all cry a little (except Snape) at the mention of Dumbledore. The wizards enjoy the convention. Somehow, Dudley got inside, and Harry and friends go over to him to see why. Ginny suggests that he may not be a Muggle. McGonagal calls Dudley over to the stage.
Chapter 9: Harry figured the blonde was Draco Malfoy, but it ended up being Fleur Delacour (and that's the end of the blonde mystery, pretty stupid). McGonagal had told Dudley that he is a wizard and that he is accepted at Hogwarts. Dudley flees in terror and the others are surprised. They then tour Fantasyland, riding the Mad Tea Party, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Snow White's Scary Adventures, Peter Pan's Flight, it's a small world, and Cinderella's Golden Carrousel. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville end up at Ariel's Grotto where they find Fred, George, Lee Jordan, and Oliver Wood ogling at the mythical mermaid. After a long while, they leave and end up in line with the Patil twins at the Haunted Mansion. A chapter addition tells the reader that Oliver Wood will be a teacher at Hogwarts next term.
Chapter 10: Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize in the Haunted Mansion while Harry and the gang tour the mansion. The group pairs off two by two. Neville is ultimately spooked and the students learn of where the Hogwarts ghosts had chosen to spend their holiday. Moaning Myrtle, Peeves the Poltergeist, Nearly Headless Nick, the Bloody Baron, and the Fat Friar make cameo appearances. The gang later heads to the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue for a light snack, and then the Country Bear Jamboree. Next, Ron picks the next attraction: Big Thunder Mountain, where they meet up again with Percy and Penelope. Hermione breaks the law and uses to magic to keep cool while waiting in line. {A/N: there is an error in this chapter. Some parts with Harry and Parvati are a bit confusing. After Moaning Myrtle flees from the ballroom, she sits in a Doom Buggy with who should be Hermione and Ron. I don't know why I changed it.)
Chapter 11: After Big Thunder Mountain, a wonderful roller coaster ride where Hermione yet again uses magic (she tends to do this a lot in this story) to shut Ron up with the Laryngitis Maximo spell. She un-curses him and they all head to Splash Mountain. Neville is eager to get on and he ends up crashing into the end of the line. Draco Malfoy was whom Neville crashed into and the group learns that Draco no longer goes to Hogwarts. He won't tell them why and he also knows what happened to Professor Dumbledore. After the ride, they take the Walt Disney World Railroad to Toontown Fair to get to Tomorrowland to get to the convention to see the other Hogwarts professors. They don't find them and Harry decides they should go to their hotel: the Contemporary Resort Hotel. They take the monorail to the hotel and find Professor McGonagal. She's in great distress because the school letters are missing.
Chapter 12: McGonagal won't say what happened to Dumbledore, but she did bake a chock load of cookies. She also told them why Draco no longer attends Hogwarts. He had been expelled. The group heads back and tried to forget their troubles. They end the afternoon in Adventureland where they experience the Enchanted Tiki Room, the Jungle Cruise, and the Pirates of the Caribbean (Oliver would say, "Ca-rib-b-in or Car-a-b-ean?"). The day ends with dinner at the Crystal Palace and a view of Spectromagic light parade and Fantasy in the Sky fireworks display.
Chapter 13: This short chapter is the same night at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Harry sees that more Hogwarts students and American wizards were also staying there. He meets a very eccentric girl, Mary Sue Greenberg of Tennessee, and Abigail Franklin of New England. Thoroughly annoyed by Mary Sue, Harry, Ron, and Hermione manage to get away from them. Harry dreams about Dumbledore while in his bunk. He had bunked with Ron for the Dursleys felt Harry was better off with them. Harry dreams about Dumbledore at the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts. The door is open as the full moonlight shines through. As he shuts it a gruff voice speaks. Harry awakens and sees Hedwig at the window. Behind her is in odd flash of red, though Harry may have imagined it. Hedwig has brought an unsigned note to Harry. The sender says not to worry about the school at that they'll see him soon.
Chapter 14: Percy begins everyone's breakfast at the hotel restaurant with a speech about his work for the convention. He's interrupted by a large group of American teenage wizards who are all watching Harry eat. Harry and friends leave to watch the animals with "Harry Potter's Fan Club" close behind. The group travels to EPCOT and discover the wonders of the Living Seas attraction.
Chapter 15: Dudley awakens to the memory that he is a wizard. He sees a dictating gazelle and feels he's hallucinating. At breakfast they talk about Piggywinks (Look back at this part of the chapter, it holds some importance). Meanwhile, Harry and friends head to the Land pavillion for ice-cream and then see the Food Rocks! Show and the Living with the Land boat ride. They leave the pavillion to head to the Imagination! Attraction with Figment then exit and play in the jumping fountains in front of the Honey We Shrunk the Audience show.
Chapter 16: Mrs. Weasley dries everyone off with a drying spell and they go to the HWSTA show. Having exited, they find they could either move south towards the World Showcase or continue east to the remainder of Future World. The adults head south and Penny and Oliver want to follow. Percy acts like a control freak and orders his girlfriend to follow him. Penny is insulted and they yell and she flees away. Oliver gets mad at Percy and Percy doesn't admit to his totalitarianism-like ways and he justs leaves. Harry, Neville, and Ron go to the other side of Future World with Percy while Hermione and Ginny follow the adults. The boys are amazed with the Test Track and cars and wait in line to ride. Percy realizes his stupidity and runs off to catch up with Penny.
Chapter 17: Penny runs to the France Pavillion where Oliver finds her. They talk and Oliver comforts her with a friendly hug. Percy had caught up too and saw them together. We flashback to when Percy runs off and see that Ron, Harry, and Neville go on Test Track. They see Malfoy again and he makes fun of them because they don't know about Fast Passes. They read about it and are angry and plan to get some after they ride Test Track. They have fun and ride with Mary Sue and her friends: Abigail, Wendy, Billy and another kid who didn't get a chance to say his name. After buying the photo of Test Track, which was made normal by the witch cast member, Carrie Jean Greenberg, they head to the Fast Pass machines and find out they need their park tickets, which Percy had volunteered to keep for safe-keeping. They race to the World Showcase to find Percy. Tomás helps them and they find Percy and see that something was wrong. He doesn't tell them and walks away. They decide to let him be and find his camera. They take pictures of themselves, and hear the mysterious voice again. Neville could hear it to. When they search the forest, all they found were disturbed leaves. Tomás calls out and takes them to the convention.
Chapter 18: They find the rest of their group at the Friendship boat headed to the convention. Hermione and Penny run out to explain things to Percy. The conevention was through a transportal (you'll see a lot of these later in the story) and they see the huge Quidditch Exhibit. Oliver and Devlin Whitehorn, creator of the Nimbus 2000, convinces McGonagal to buy a new set of brooms for the school. Meanwhile, Penny and Hermione head back to the hotel and get to Percy to explain everything. He says he's leaving to go back to work. He won't listen to them and accuses Penny that she only went out with him to get to Oliver the so called "quintessential All-Star student." They get mad and Percy storms out, but Hermione doesn't give up. She stuns Percy before he could leave. Remus Lupin is shocked by Hermione's outburst. With him is a large shaggy black dog.
Chapter 19: Lupin passes off Hermione's outburst as a rehearsal for a movie and pretends to be her Drama coach. They all get Percy to his room and Penny ties him up before they uncurse him. They leave the two to sort out they're troubles. Hermione, Lupin, and Snuffles head to the convention. Everyone is happy that he's there and that he's the new DADA teacher. Lupin also pretends to be blind so that Snuffles can go into the parks. They all leave with more packages, Ginny had a very secret purchase she wouldn't show anybody. The group gets fast passes for Test Track then head back to Norway and ride the Maelstrom. They then visit the remainder of World Showcase and head to Wonders of Life and Ellen's Energy Adventure and Test Track. The day ends and Harry returns to his room and saw a dictating gazelle. He blinks and it's gone.
Part Two next chapter b/c I'm getting tired. Sorry folks! Thank you all for your support and reading this story. All your comments are very much appreciated. Thank you! On the 30th of June my family and I are going on holiday. I just finished this chapter, what am I going to do next? I'm going to Disney World? Remember those commercials? Anyway, I'm really excited and I need to start packing! So I won't write again for a while until I come back. I hope you had fun with this chapter! Two or three more and the story will be complete and the sequel can begin! Have a nice summer! ºoº Have a Magical Day! ºoº
Oh yeah…As I said before, Kram will not lie to you nor plagiarize. I was very upset when I found many similarities with my plans for my HP stories and the 5th book's plot and events. IT'S NOT FAIR! Anyway, great minds think a like. Most of this chapter was written before the book came out and what kept it from being posted was finishing the chapter, the Cliff Notes and reading the 5th book. Please don't accuse me of plagiarism or copying. Thank you again and I hope you continue reading!
