Disclaimer: Not mine, i tell you!
Harry and Taryn exchanged puzzled looks. Ponytailed Bill (it sounds like a famous person) talking baby talk to a hedgehog?
"Er...Bill," Harry ventured cautiously, "are you feeling alright?"
But Bill went right on talking to the hedgehog, who was looking adoringly into his eyes, and ignored Harry's question.
"Youse are growing handsomer by the minute. Don't you worry, my little pumpelkins, Papa will put this mean little lady to rights," and Bill turned to look fiercely at Taryn.
"Maybe he's been out in the sun too long," Taryn said to Harry paying no heed to Bill's ramblings, "you know how weird that can make some people." (not implying anything Miss. Editor. Hee! Hee!)
As Taryn was babbling on about Bill, Harry watched open-mouthed as Bill crept up behind Taryn. He had a fanatical glint in his eyes and was foaming at the mouth. When Taryn finished her sentence he suddenly crouched down and leapt into the air...
...
and turned into a bonnet-wearing, purse-carrying elephant.
"There we go," said Taryn calmly, "got rid of that weirdo. Now we only have to deal with this evil hedgehog." She turned with an evil grin to the poor hedgehog who was quivering in the sand.
Harry's mouth felt like a quaffle had been stuffed into it (if that's possible) it was open so wide. Finally, he managed to blurt out, "Uh...hey Taryn...why...why don't we forget about the hedgehog and go find...find the map."
"Let me deal with this nasty bugger first," Taryn proceeded to poke the poor hedgehog with a golden want that she had drawn out from behind her ear with a flourish.
Suddenly the hedgehog let out a shriek, turned into a bat, and flew away into the air.
"Thought so!" Taryn said triumphantly. "That was a spy sent to tell Voldemort what we were up to. Bill must have been bewitched by him."
Wow!, Harry thought to himself. How had Taryn known? He opened his mouth to ask her but she was already galloping off in the sand to the nearest pyramid.
Harry closed his mouth (something he seemed to be doing a lot lately) and ran after Taryn.
And ran...
and ran...
and ran. Jeez, an exhausted Harry thought, Taryn must have eaten a super-energy bar or something. Finally, when he was sure he couldn't run another step or he'd drop dead (and then the story would be pretty pointless with the main character as a ghost) Taryn disappeared like a puff of smoke.
Where had she gone? Harry frantically looked around. He was already picturing the notice that would be found in the paper:
Harry Potter Found Fried in Egypt
Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, died the other day among the
pyramids in Egypt. How did he die? Ministry officials say it was
from overexposure to the elements. Yes, this famous boy didn't
die battling Voldemort. No, he died without food or water on the
hot sands of Egypt. Why was he there? Had he gone crazy? Nobody
knows for sure.
Sitting down in the sand, Harry felt like crying. Why had he come here? to find some stupid map? Why hadn't he just stayed home?
"Snap out of it buddy. Do you need a good punch in the face?"
Harry snapped his head up. Who was talking to him? Whirling around he turned to face the speaker...and saw no one.
"Er...hello," Harry said nervously remembering how the hedgehog had turned out to be a spy, "Um...sorry...but er...who am I talking to?"
"Duh! Haven't you ever used wizard talk before? This is Taryn. I am talking to your mind."
"Wow was all Harry could say.
And then he remembered... "hey, where are you?" He demanded angrily, "you abandoned me."
"Sorry, you were running like a turtle," Taryn's voice drifted into his mind.
Running like a turtle? Harry had been running his fastest.
He decided to push aside the insult and move to a more important issue, "um...can I join you?"
"Yeah sure! Just hold on one sec ok?"
Impatiently, Harry waited. Suddenly he was rushing through the sand going like lightning past the countless pyramids. He had no control over his body. If he had wanted to stop he was pretty sure he couldn't.
So Harry decided to just close his eyes and relax. When he finally stopped he opened his eyes and saw...

Editor's Note
So, how'd u like it? Review and tell us! We want to thank Allison M. Potter for her continued support and being our #1 fan and all. We love you! (not that way for any dirty-minded readers out there) Last chapter it was 90 degrees outside. Today, less than a week later and still in April, it's supposed to snow. ?!?!?! So much for the ocean keeping us from going to extremes. anyway, I think this is one of the best chapters so far (IMHO= I think that means In my humble opinion but i'm not sure) anyway hopefully the 9th chapter will be out soon. What does Harry see? What happened to Bill? Cya next time!
