Hoo-Rah!!! FanFiction works!! (7-20-03)

Nooo!!! FF still doesn't work…(7-20-03 about 2 minutes later)

Yes!! It works!!! (7-21-03)

Guess who's back? Walt Disney World was soooo much FUN!!!! I want to rewrite my whole story now, but that'd be ridiculous! We were lucky though because Mission: SPACE wasn't supposed to open until October, but Disney gave a preview that day, I guess for Fourth of July weekend. It was so awesome, but I got soo sick…it really felt like you were in space and each person had a special job, either navigator, engineer, commander or something else. I was commander, ha-ha. Also the "cool-everyone-gets-to-play-giant" interactive game at the exit for fraidy cats of the real ride was so cool and you can send video e-mail because there isn't that much to do to fill a day, but they close early. We saw a totally awesome Tarzan show and I was reminded of how scary DINOSAUR ls and all that cool stuff. Anyhow, I had a lot of fun at EPCOT and Magic Kingdom and MGM, but Animal Kingdom was a little bit less exciting b was. TOO DARK!! Also, the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster was sooo awesome! Our picture looks so silly because we made silly faces on purpose. I'm probably boring you so here's Harry Potter's holiday at Disney World:

Chapter 28: Castle in the Sky

"Was that cheesy or what?" Ron said after a Sci-Fi preview ended and the dancing hot dogs and soda pop filled the screen, telling the audience it was intermission. The group was just finishing dinner at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant.

"Which one, the women from Venus thing or the Beach party monster?" Harry asked.

"All of it!"

"Well, you know Ron, these films were made in the 1950's and 60's when people thought those things were absolutely terrifying!" Hermione said from behind.

"If you want to see terrifying, just look at McGonagal when you failed to do your homework…" Ron joked. After a few more movie reels, french fries, sandwiches, and milk shakes later, the waitress came flying by on skates to give the check.

"Hey, Harry," she said. "What time is it?" Harry looked down at his watch, but the movie screen answered him.

"It's Snack Time!" the announcer said. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny laughed at the joke. (Hehehe, that really happened when we ate there! Hehehe) They charged the meal to the hotel and the group headed back out into the park, where the night sky showed it was late.

"It's 9:57, we better get going," Mr. Weasley said looking at his watch. "We best get to the Amphitheater for the show."

"What show?" Mrs. Weasley asked.

"Fantasmic!" Mr. Weasley replied. "It's a stunning show with water and light effects and villains and heroes, that sort of thing. I read about it during dinner!"

"Hermione, you have a bad influence," George said to her.

"They say that the show fills up quick, so we better get a head start!" They all dragged their feet as they walked towards the front of the park. To their disappointment, they were with many other families heading to the exact same place. They strolled down Sunset Boulevard yet again and finally reached the entrance to Fantasmic! They walked down a long sidewalk, directed by cast members. A few of them were holding boxes full of lighted and glittering objects.

"Buy a light chaser! Light chasers! Sorcerer Mickey, Tinker Bell, and Buzz Lightyear!" the cast member called.

"No time for that, Snuffles," Lupin said as Snuffles leapt up to see the glimmering lights. They reached the giant open-air amphitheater and found a block of seats in the center section, beating the large Chinese tour group.

"Ha-ha! We got great seats!" Ron said, sticking his tongue out at them.

"Ron, that's rude," Hermione said, turning his head back forward.

"Hey there, Harry," a girl said, tapping Harry on the shoulder. He turned around and Harry felt his stomach drop.

"H-He-He-llo, Cho," Harry said, feeling his legs tremble.

"Well, I guess we got to find new seats, Bye Harry," Cho said, waving and walking.

"Bye Cho!" Harry said a long while after she left.

"You're too late, mate," Ron said. "Hey, Dad, when's the show going to start?"

"Hmmm…in about 30 minutes? Show starts at 10:30," Mr. Weasley said, rechecking the Show Times guide.

"30 minutes! Arthur, why'd we have to get here so early?" McGonagal asked.

"Well, you know…early bird gets the worm!" The others all groaned and leaned back in their seats. But he was right because, most cast members suggest lining up at least 90 minutes before show time!

***

"Some imagination, huh?" Mickey Mouse said as the Fantasmic! Show ended. The guests all applauded for the wonderful performance and there was a mad scramble at the exit.

"Man, these Muggles really don't believe in good witches," Ginny said, recalling the witch from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Maleficient.

"They're the quintessential villain in Fairy Tales, you know," Hermione said as the group exited slowly behind the Chinese Tour Group. "But if that Maleficient was real, she'd be some Animagi."

"Though Dragon Transfiguration requires a very advanced skill in magic," Professor McGonagal said.

"The Muggles sure made their dragons right," said Oliver.

"Did you see when it breathed fire?" Ron said. "For a minute, I was convinced it was real!"

"Mice wizards are pretty ridiculous if you ask me," Fred said.

"It was amazing when they projected images onto that wall of water," Mrs. Granger commented.

"Yes, seeing that just takes your breathe away," Mr. Weasley said.

"The music was exciting," Lupin said.

"Oh, Remus Lupin, you must think we're absolutely horrid with us talking about what we saw!" Mrs. Granger said, half laughing. "I promise not to mention sight again."

"No need to worry, Mrs. Granger," Lupin said. "I'm only temporarily blind."

"What do you mean?"

"Living in the wizarding world has its advantages," Lupin lied. There really was a potion to cure blindness, if treated early. But Lupin wasn't blind. He was only using it as a pretext to allow Sirius into the parks.

"Oh I see!" Mrs. Granger said, understanding.

"Oh I see!"

"Oh I see!" two kids of the Chinese tour group said. (Hehehe, another inside joke, hehehehe, never mind…)

***

"He will return to this lodge tonight," Tomás, the Thompson's Gazelle a.k.a. Tommy (I learned that on the Kilimanjaro Safari), said to the other animals in the savanna plain. "We must plant the book on him tonight." He pointed to a small hardcover book titled Everything Harry Potter Needs to know about Quidditch.

"What if someone else picks it up?" Zeke, the zebra.

"No one else will. They won't be able to come in," Tomás said viciously.

"Suppose your plan doesn't work," the Giraffe, asked. "I mean, what's the point of capturing him then giving him back?"

"Weren't you listening, Geoffrey?!? After trapping him inside this book, I'll hide it in this gosh forsaken place and make his petty little friends look for it-"

"But why can't we just kill him once we have him?!"

"Fool! You want to dispose of him while that old-as-dirt wizard, Dumbledore, is looking out for him?! I want him to come to me so I can finish what that idiot Malfoy couldn't do! Now, as I was saying. His stupid friends are going to ask for all the assistance they could muster and once I have all of them in my hands-"

"You have hooves now, sir."

"Shut up, Interrupting cow! If you can't be patient then…" Tomás the gazelle transformed into the human and grabbed his wand, but he couldn't curse the poor giraffe. Geoffrey transformed as well, changing into a tall dark-haired man with an unnaturally long neck for a human.

"Then what, Tomás?" Geoffrey demanded.

"Nothing. Never mind," Tomás said, stowing his wand away. He needed Geoffrey to get to the balcony of Harry's room. "As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, Potter's friends will be looking for him and once I have them all in my trap, that dinosaur, Dumbledore, will come to the rescue. Then…we finish him off!"

"But how do you know he'll come?"

"Oh, he will, Geoffrey. He will…"

***

The gang was very tired, but finally reached the shuttle on time to get back to the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Everyone was alert and eyed everything suspiciously. Even the smallest of children were deemed as suspicious. One particular little girl with the sweetest of faces and cutest of hair bows looked terrified as Snuffles stared at her menacingly.

"He's usually quite friendly," Harry said, trying to relieve the tension. The girl still looked terrified and clutched closer to her mother. The long shuttle ride back to the Lodge finally ended as it pulled into the drive. The guest piled off wearily and slowly walked to their rooms.

"He's back," Mary Sue said, pointing. "Hairy Potter's back! The Triwizard champion! The nicest Parselmouth! The crème of the crop!"

"Finally!" a girl said. The fans waiting in the lobby all woke up and stood up. Harry ran for it, followed closely by Ron, Hermione, and Ginny. Snuffles was barking at them all.

"Quiet, Snuffles! You'll wake the other guests!" Lupin said, pulling him into the elevator, holding the others. The fans thought it was a good idea to bombard the elevator, while the smarter ones headed for the staircase. Luckily, the elevator was quicker and Harry made it into the Weasley's Suite.

Meanwhile…

Geoffrey, the giraffe, was hoisting Tomás, the gazelle onto a balcony, the one to the Weasley's Suite to be exact. Pigwidgeon was twittering when he saw Tomás appear and soon Hedwig and him were flittering circles around them and pecking at his head. Tomás dropped the book from his mouth and swung his head vigorously on an attempt to knock out the owls. He leapt over the railing and back atop Geoffrey's head, which caused the giraffe to collapse under the sudden pressure. Tomás picked up the book, which had fallen into the grass, and ran with Geoffrey as Hedwig swooped back down to the plain and chased them away into the trees.

"Get me back up there!" Tomás ordered. Geoffrey just whimpered. "Geoffrey get up!" But Geoffrey didn't get up. He hardly even moved. His long neck was bent in an abnormal way. Tomás transformed and knelt next to the fallen giraffe. "Geoffrey? Geoffrey…are you…Geoffrey, come on!" Just then, a ball of white collided with Tomás head. "Get away you darn bird!" He took out his wand and sent Hedwig shooting back towards the hotel as if released from a cannon. "Geoffrey, wake up! Please!" Suddenly, Tomás just fled from the scene towards the caretaker's hut.

***

SMACK!

"What was that?" Ron asked, rubbing his eyes. They had just entered the room when Hedwig smashed into the sliding glass door.

"It came from the bal-balcony," Ginny said, yawning. Harry and Ron slid the glass door aside.

"Hedwig! What the heck happened to you?" Harry said, scooping up Hedwig. She flew out of Harry's arms and hooted and ruffled her feathers. "You trying to fly through glass doors?" Hedwig just hooted angrily and flew off towards the trees and zoomed back towards Harry, still hooting her feathers off.

"I think she's trying to tell you something," Ron said, scratching his head.

"What is it Hedwig?" Harry asked. She zoomed off again, but this time, was smacked back again as if kicked. Hedwig shot into Harry's arms and he fell backward on impact. "What was that?" Hedwig shook herself then prepared to fly off again to get Harry to see. "No, don't go back in there! Stay here!" Harry took out his wand and stared into the trees.

"Maybe its Tomás," Ron said, staring as well. "I should get Dad!"

"No, wait…" Harry said, stopping Ron. He squinted to the trees and saw a tall skinny creature wobble up into the moonlight. Two figures began racing towards it from below. "It was an animal. I think a giraffe."

"It looks hurt…" Ron said, leaning on the railing.

"Hedwig, what did you do to it?" Hedwig hooted indignantly and flew away into the night, feeling Harry wouldn't believe the danger she was trying to alert him with.

***

The Ministry wizards and Penny lay sleeping peacefully. Mr. Cornwallis's snores echoed in the giant cabin, but that was soon droned out by the call of George Bunyan as he pushed open the door.

"Good Morning!" George called, his greeting reverberating off the wood walls. Percy lifted his head from his pillow and looked at his clock. It was only 12:00 midnight. They had only been asleep for two hours.

"Morning?" a wizard said, looking out the window. "It's still nighttime."

"Yes, but Dumbledore said to get ready in the morning. Over there it is morning!" George said gleefully. Everybody was awake now and grumbled as they rolled out of bed.

The clearing looked more ominous in the dark of night than at dusk. The moonlight was gone on this cloudy night and the breeze caused whispering oaks. George Bunyan's lantern, the size of a garden shed, was their only source of light. It was difficult to keep up with him since for every one step of George's was 10 steps for the wizards. Even Hagrid and Madam Maxime had some trouble keeping up with George. They followed the trail made by Babe and the cart and they finally came into the clearing. Ringo and his friends were already there, the switch of the giant Transportal switched on. They were digging up the ground with enthusiasm and a map of a bird's eye view of Hogwarts laid on the ground. It was daylight at Hogwarts and many of the teachers were outside with some of their possessions in trunks and boxes. Professor Dumbledore was outside too with Fawkes on his shoulder. Their were also giant lookout towers stationed around the grounds with Auror look outs, searching for spies.

"I say, are you all ready on that end?" Dumbledore called from the other side of the Transportal.

"Almost, sir," George bellowed. "We're still digging."

"Very well," Dumbeldore called back. "After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, you know." The Ministry wizards crossed through the Transportal to escape the flying dirt.

"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore," Percy said, though sounding very tired and weak. "Is there anything we can yawn help you with?"

"Not at the moment, Percy," Dumbledore replied. "Though when the time comes to move the castle, we'll need every available wizard and witch. You have brought your wands?" Percy nodded and kept nodding as he was dozing back into a sleep again. Penny nudged him on his arm and his head sprang up.

"Yes, sir! We're ready!" Percy said, with rapt attention.

"HooHaa!" George called. Being a giant, his shout caused even the trees at Hogwarts to quake and shake. "We've completed the digging!"

***

The next morning, Mrs. Weasley didn't feel like cooking so she woke them up bright and early to go to a nice restaurant for breakfast. Mr. Weasley was eager to go, for she let him pick the place to eat.

"Why can't we eat in the hotel?" George asked as he slumped into a chair in the lobby. He, Fred, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Oliver, and Mrs. Weasley were waiting for the Grangers and Mr. Weasley.

"Your father felt it would be a better experience to eat somewhere new for a change," Mrs. Weasley said. "He says we're going to a buf-fet!"

"A what?" Ron and Ginny asked. Having had home cooking for years, every Weasley was curious about eating out of the house and school.

"A buf-fet! It's like a restaurant except you serve yourself-"

"Mum, we do that at home!"

"Yes, but at least I won't have to cook and besides, you can eat all you want and eat all you can! Which is a mighty good idea, seeing as breakfast is what fuels you up for the day!" Fred and George suddenly looked eager to get going. Meanwhile, Harry was looking very glum that morning as he stared looking out the large bay window, at the animals roaming the plain.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Ginny asked, noticing how quiet Harry was.

"Hmm? Oh nothing…just tired," Harry said. But really, he was worrying about Hedwig. She never just flew off like that. Hermione and her parents approached as Mr. Weasley had returned from the information desk.

"Hurry up, kids! We don't want to miss the shuttle," Mr. Weasley said enthusiastically.

"Arthur, where are we going?" Mrs. Weasley asked. He wouldn't say as they headed out to wait for the shuttle. She asked again, but he still wouldn't say. The excitement was building as he tried to keep it a surprise. He still wouldn't speak even while they rode the 8:00 shuttle to the Animal Kingdom. He still wouldn't speak once they entered through the gates of the Animal Kingdom. They found a strong wall of Jungle foliage hid the park. Upon entering, they could hear tribal drums and rhythmic music of the jungle. Mr. Weasley lead the way past the Oasis exhibit, across the bridge to Discovery Island, right, and another right, down another bridge into Dinoland U.S.A. They stopped in front of a blue building with a brown-shingled roof. It looked the house of a grandmother in the Midwest.

"Welcome to Restaurantosaurus!" He finally said, waiting for a big reaction.

"Resta-what?" Ginny said.

"It's a Muggle restaurant with a Character hosted breakfast buf-fet extravaganza!" He spread out his arms as if he was introducing a three-ring circus act. "Come on! We don't want to miss the fun!" He walked through the doors and into the restaurant, which looked from the inside like a barn turned into dinosaur research facility and restaurant rolled into one. There was a long line of guests getting food from the buffet line.

"Weasley, party of…10…no wait…11, " Mr. Weasley said to the receptionist. He checked them in and had someone lead him to a table. "Now I'll get the table and you can all get started!" He went off into the dining room following the usher in search of a table to accommodate them all. The Grangers joined the buffet line and picked up their plates. The others just followed suit.

"Can we really get as much as we want?" Ron asked out loud.

"Of course," Hermione said, spooning some eggs onto her plate. "It is 'All you can eat.'"

"Harry, grab me another plate," Ron said as he loaded the first one. After they all settled down in their seats and were just about to tuck in to their meals, the doors to the kitchen swung open. Costumed cast members embarked into the restaurant and began to meet and greet while the guests ate.

"Who are they?" Fred asked.

"It's a costume party!" Ginny guessed.

"Attack of the Giant Mice…and dogs…and yellow bears…" George said as Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy, and Winnie the Pooh bear made way around the dining room. They were all dressed in Safari gear and taking pictures and signing books. More characters came out…"…and ducks…and tigers…and pigs…and, now what in the world is that?"

"She looks like one of them Muppet things," Ron said, pointing to the costumed character with long black hair accompanied with a blue alien. It was Lilo and Stitch.

***

"What I don't understand is why this giraffe was out so late," a woman said, examining the creature in a well-lighted laboratory. Tomás just blushed and didn't reply to her remark. "He's lucky you found him, otherwise I might not be able to save him."

"So you can…fix him, right?" Tomás asked, hopefully.

"Yes," the woman said. "But it will take maybe weeks or months to heal…"

"Months?!?" Tomás said. He needed Geoffrey tonight!

"I know it's hard to see animals hurt, but he'll be better before you know it," The woman said, patting Tomás comfortably.

"Er, yeah…" Tomás said in reply. "I…er, have to go." He thanked the zoologist and left the room to head back out to the savanna plain.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid…" he said, smacking himself on the forehead. How was he going to get Harry now? He'd have to do it alone, and this time he could not fail!

***

"That was a very…interesting experience," Mrs. Weasley said as they headed back into the park after a filing breakfast.

"It's too bad Professor Lupin wasn't there," Hermione said. "We have to show him these pictures." She was holding a few pictures and passing them around as everyone looked at them.

"Yes, Snuffles probably would've liked it, though I'm afraid it wouldn't have made much difference to Remus," her mother said. She and McGonagal weren't there during the big explanation. Hermione just smiled weakly and they all kept walking.

"Where is Professor Lupin anyway?" Harry asked. "He isn't spending the day with us today?"

"No," Lupin said, approaching. "Or should I say 'yes.'? I was always confused when answering those types of questions." They all greeted him good morning and set off through Dinoland U.S.A.

"Can we go on Dinosaur first?" Ginny asked, studying the map in her hands. Everyone was surprised with her daring.

"Whatever you say, Ginny!" Oliver said, excited to ride what was described as time travel rescue mission to save the last dinosaur. Hermione opened her map and found an advertisement for Fastpass (Poof! Go the long lines) and saw a picture of Dinosaur underneath. The guests were sitting in a jeep like vehicle and were under the attack of a ferocious reptilian beast with long teeth and mean eyes.

"Ginny, are you sure you want to go on this?" Hermione asked.

"She picked it. We're riding it," Fred said, following his twin, sister, and Oliver. They entered the entrance area of Dinosaur and found a pool of water with a statue of a life-size Iguanodon. It was Aladar, from Disney's Dinosaur.

"Oh, he looks adorable," Ginny said, looking up at the dinosaur. They entered the cream-white building and found that the line was very short. The line was also a bit like a pre-show area, as Bill Nye the Science Guy told them they were at the Dino Institute. It seemed like a museum with models and dioramas and information all about dinosaurs. The gang was shooed into the pre-show area where a video played, explaining how they were going to have a nice trip back in time through the world of the dinosaurs. An enthusiastic researcher at the institute then interrupted the video. He's changing the tour just for them so that they go to the last minutes of the age of the dinosaurs to capture an Iguanodon.

"This sounds like fun!" Ron said as they descended down the metal staircase to the loading area. It was very dark beyond the loading area.

"Uhhh, I don't think I can do this…" Mrs. Weasley said, looking at the darkness beyond.

"Oh, come on, Mum," Ginny said. "You haven't done anything!"

"I went on that, er…Test Track thing and that was enough! Besides, we're thirteen and those cars only hold twelve" There was no argument there and it was better to just let her wait for them instead of splitting up their parties. So Mrs. Weasley entered the vehicle, but exited while everyone else loaded on. Ginny requested a seat on the right edge, right in the front. A very bad idea indeed. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny sat up front with Mr. Weasley, Oliver and the twins in the middle, and Mr. And Mrs. Granger, Lupin and Snuffles in the back. Snuffles looked odd in a seat belt in the back seat. He was ecstatic because usually, as a dog, he wasn't allowed to ride.

[A/N: I really don't think dogs are allowed on rides at Disney World, but hey, he's on vacation and needs his share of fun, so there!]

"Calm down, Snuffles," Lupin said to Sirius. The ride attendant came over to check their seat belts.

"What an adorable name for a dog!" she said, patting Snuffles on the head. "Everyone please pull the yellow tab on your seat belts to make sure they are securely fastened. Everyone all buckled in? Well, have a nice trip!" The time rover drove out into the darkness and began the trip through time!

This is a really really really great ride and it was really really cool and really really scary that words couldn't describe it. Well keywords can: Dark, dinosaurs, turbulence, dark, scary, oh-my-gosh-they-look-so-real, dark, surprises, you get the picture.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Ron screamed as the Canotaurus invaded their territory. Ginny was sorry she had chosen to ride Dinosaur as well as choosing to sit in the front on the edge, for the ferocious dinosaur was only a few feet away from her, breathing and roaring with fury. Everyone was screaming and Snuffles had his head down.

"We're not going to make it!" someone called. It was hard to tell among all the noise. Suddenly, the time rover dipped and ran straight at the Carnotaurus. It continues dipping and then beamed back to the present time and the ride was over.

***

Back in the forests of Montana/ Hogwarts…

"Higher…a little higher…no lower…no, that's too low!" Dumbledore was viewing the moving of the castle and it wasn't going too well. Dirt, stones, and all sorts of creatures were falling from the bottom of the castle. Some pipes and tubes and plumbing got left behind in the ground. Most of the wizards and witches of Hogsmeade who promised to help were scared off by the giants. Almost all of the giant population had come to carry the enormous castle. This was no easy task, even for a giant. "Just a little higher…we wouldn't want Professor Snape's dungeons to be snapped off while we move."

"Isn't there another way to do this?" Mr. Cornwallis said, struggling to keep his wand up.

"Maybe we could transfigure the castle into a snow globe or something," Penny suggested, using two hands to hold up her wand.

"That would be wonderful, but the wrong positioning and alignments could be disastrous," Dumbledore said. He stood pondering on alternatives. "Of course! Why didn't I think of it before? Cumulus!" A single white puffy cloud burst out of Dumbledore's wand. He directed it under the castle and sent a few more. The other wizards got the idea and puffs of cotton like clouds zoomed under the castle. Soon the castle was settled on a bead of Cumulus clouds. It looked like they had brought the sky down to the ground.

"I always wondered why in the world that charm was written," Penny said, sending one last cloud. "But how do we move it?"

"My brothers do have quite a powerful wind spell," Percy said. "But it may blow off course."

"Why not just push it?" Ringo said from above. Everyone looked at each other, feeling stupid for not thinking of such a simple idea. The giants all positioned themselves behind the castle.

"Onward!" Hagrid cried, pointing towards the dark forest. The giants started pushing towards the Transportal and the castle indeed did move. "No, you're going too far right! Stop!" The giants had to stop pushing and they all moved to the right side and pushed it back towards the center of their path. They started moving again and soon they were almost all the way through.

"Wait!" Percy cried. "The Transportal is too short! The North Tower won't go through!"

"Stop the moving!" Professor Trelawney cried. "I foresaw that my classroom would not fit through. Lucky I knew to remove all my belongings. Please, headmaster, you should terminate until you've lengthened the Transportal."

"Of course, Sibyll. We wouldn't want to lose our Divination classroom," Dumbledore replied. "Though, if you knew this was to happen, why hadn't you forewarned us?" Trelawney didn't answer and just continued looking stern until they resized the Transportal.

After another 3 hours of work, the castle was positioned correctly in the area cleared for it in the woods. Through the giants had dug too much and there was an empty moat surrounding the castle. Dumbledore solved this by filling it with some of the lake from Hogwarts. He even convinced the giant squid to come along, of course speaking in Squidish. The Merfolk decided to remain at England. By 5 o'clock a.m. Montana time, they had managed to fully "install" and settle the great Hogwarts Castle, filled its new moat, and correctly connect and route the plumbing system. They set up the Quidditch Pitch and Stadium, transported the old winged-boar gates over the path made by Babe and the giants' carts, and set up Hagrid's cabin in a cozy site with young Maple saplings. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was ready to begin a new year in its new home.

***

Cliff Notes continued as promised:

Chapter 20: Percy discovers television while Penny ruminates on her relationship with Percy. After viewing a scene from a Soap Opera, Penny and Percy talk and make it up. After their really sappy, cheesy make up, Percy still has to leave to deal with giants for the Ministry. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have dinner with Lupin and Sirius in their room at the Lodge. They show the days' photographs and Hermione discovers a deer in the picture with Ron and Neville in front of a forest (Yes, this is important).

The Truth Unfolds: Harry dreams again about Dumbledore at Hogwarts, where this time he sees the whole event. This dream seqeunce is similar to the one seen in GoF with the old man, where Harry views an actual event. Dumbledore's Attack causes Harry's scar to burn like mad. Ron wakes up and Harry sends him to get Sirius. He finds the twins and Oliver, covered in shaving cream, still asleep. He opens the door and discovers Hermione, who had had a horrible nightmare. Fred and George wake up and Ron shoos them away while Hermione fetches Sirius. Back at their room, Harry's pain increases and the mysterious voice begins to speak. Ron feels pain too, from the voice's owner. A gazelle outside the window began to transform into a hooded human being, causing the pain. As Sirius and Lupin and Hermione race in, everyone awakes, but think the commotion was only Oliver, who discovered the shaving cream. They go back to sleep but Ginny finds out what's going on. Sirius transforms and crashes through the window. The cloaked figure gets away but Sirius returns with a sack. Mrs. Weasley checks on them and Lupin and Sirius disapparates. After convincing Ginny and Mrs. Weasley that they were watching scary movies, Hermione, Harry, and Ron discuss the mysterious voice.

Chapter 21: This chapter is set at Hogwarts after the attack and explains the aftermath. Malfoy and the other Death Eaters were sent to Azkaban and we learn that Dumbledore is alive, though gravely ill. This chapter as well as the previous is worth reading again for a better explanation.

Chapter 22: The next morning, the paper reads: English Prime Minister Notifies President Bush of Mad Criminal on the Loose. Also, Ginny's Potion problems takes place (Hehehehe, have fun with reading that one again!). We also learn that Madam Hooch retired and Oliver is the new Flying Teacher (because Quidditch teacher seemed too ridiculous). The group heads to the Disney-MGM Studios.

Chapter 23: The gang heads to the Magic of Disney Animation tour. As they exit, they are yet again bombarded with Harry Potter's Fan club and Hermione panics when a cast member questions his popularity. She says he's a look alike of a British television star and then explains why Harry needs to be more careful. Lupin and Snuffles arrive and assure that they're safe. Ginny realizes again who Snuffles is and is finally told the truth about Sirius. They talk about the letters but are interrupted by the twins. They then head to the Beauty and the Beast show. Earlier that day, Penny had used a home-made, rather hotel-made, transportal to get to Percy at the ministry of magic.

Chapter 24: (This was the chapter that was lost when my computer refused to turn on, so most was written from memory) The gang views the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage show. They then get in line for the Tower of Terror where they find McGonagal, Sprout, Flitwick, and Snape. They talk about the letters and then about the history of the Tower of Terror. Tomás is found again, boarding passengers on the ride. (Dum-dum-dum!)

Chapter 25: Penny finds Percy and he's happy, but tells her she should leave because they have a top secret project and she shouldn't be there. She stays anyway for a tour of his office and meets Percy's co-worker, Gavin McDougal and Mr. Cornwallis, his boss. Mr. Cornwallis invites Penny on their business trip and announces that he's told their plan to the Daily Prophet, which Percy finds as outrageous. Back in Florida, the gang has a zip-a-dee-doo-dah-good time on the Tower of Terror, though when reading between the lines, one can infer that their trip in the tower was tampered with. (Dum-dum-dum!) Back at the Ministry, Percy, Penny, and the Giants Project team head to the Department of Magical Sojourns and Travels to go to America, where the last remaining giants live. Mr. Sedgewick sets a Transportal for Montana and the team begins their trip.

Chapter 26: The Giants Project team finds the Giant village, which is giant, and find Hagrid, who had arrived earlier with Madam Maxime. He then introduces the head giant, George Bunyan, son of famous Paul Bunyan. The giants of the world migrated to America and now live in peace and harmony. Dudley daydreams of being on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? while in line for Who Wants to be a Millionaire?- Play IT! Attraction at MGM. A Florida rainstorm catches the group as they head to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. To dry off, Fred uses his "Big Bad Wolf Wind" spell, and cannot control it. It sends the sudden appearance of the Creevey brothers flying into a puddle and causes him to get in trouble by Mrs. Weasley. He and George confuse her and weasel out of trouble. They get in line, but Flitwick isn't allowed to ride because he's too short. They ride once, but only Harry, Oliver, the twins, Ginny, and Hermione ride again. Then the girls leave, feeling sick and the boys ride again. And again. And again. While riding, Harry begins to see something wrong and Oliver and the twins disappear with a poof. They reappeared in the control room, where Tomás is at the controls. He stuns them and lets Harry keep going and going until Hermione and Ginny storm in and try and stun Tomás. He transforms right in front of them and they learn about the evils of Tomás and the gazelle.

Chapter 27: Harry and Lupin talk about Dumbledore and the school. Lupin feels Harry's dream was some sort of premonition. He elaborates on how weak Dumbledore is and the dangers of remaining in England [Another reason why they were sent to Florida]. After all, He-who-must-not-be-named has returned, which I was reminded how dangerous it was towards their world in OotP. The gang rides Star Tours, where they were bombarded by the Fan Club upon exiting. They then see the Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3D show, Disney's Hunckback of Notre Dame- A Muscial Adventure and play in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure. Here, Harry was attacked by a giant spider, complements of the cast member Tomás. Hermione curses the spider into paralysis and Lupin, Sirius [yes Sirius, not Snuffles], and Ginny continue Lupin's charade as a BBC Television Show crew and cast to get them out of the Muggle seen situation (heh, I liked that scene). They all exit and Lupin finally has to explain about Dumbledore as well as Sirius Black. Back in the giants' village, Penny, as well as the reader, is told of how the giants were clearing an area for the relocated Hogwarts School.

The Origin of Tomás: Tomás is T.M. Riddle from the diary, reborn with the blood of a Spanish wizard who could transfigure himself into a gazelle. Lucius Malfoy had brought the diary to him and taken Tomás back to his home, where he brought him with his family to WDW where it is inferred that he became a cat member.

Back at Florida, the gang rides the Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour then has dinner at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theatre Restaurant

Phew. Another day, gone. A new one begins with Animal Kingdom. This story is coming to an end. How sad…sniff. Anyhow, I'm trying to finish with at least 30 chapters so that means only two chapters left! They may be really long or the end may be a story by itself (Though reading this story is required in order to understand). So the proposed sequel may be the third installment.

WARNING: The following ending author's comments may spoil Order of the Phoenix. I truly do not want to be the one who ruins the story for you.

Anyhow, I'm excited to start my version of their 5th year, as I was somewhat disappointed with the published version. Though it makes sense with the many many many many too many anger sprees Harry has, he's a teenager who's been through A LOT after all. The ending was also disappointing, but somewhat confusing. Like, he just fell through a curtain. How could they be sure he has passed away? That's probably why I wasn't too upset, since I doubted he was dead anyhow. I just got really pissed off when Harry found that package in his trunk and could have used those mirrors a loong time ago instead of using stupid Floo Fire and all that. The new characters are pretty cool (Except for Umbridge) and I was happy with the very last part of the last chapter at Kings Cross, so next summer seems a bit brighter for Harry! Still, the 5th book had a lot of good things about it and exciting things and new inspiration for new fanfics! I enjoyed this book, though I still feel the 3rd and 4th are the best of them all.

ºoº As always, Thank you everyone for reading! Have a Magical Day! ºoº
