Crazy Quest 2: Mission to Asia
Writer's Note: Ok, here is the new Crazy Quest story that you have all been
waiting for. All the characters belong to J.K. Rowling, except Dushan.
/////////////////////////
The Turkish Minister of Magic gave them a portkey (that was a fig) to take them to Arabia. When they touched it, they were pulled into the swirling mist and landed onto a sand dune in the desert.
'My mouth is full of sand!' Yelled Filch, spitting the sand out.
'There are no trees in this desert.' Mumbled Hagrid, who obviously had not studied Geography.
The sun beat powerfully from the cloudless sky, burning everything in its reach. Our friends got up.
'Where are we?' asked Sibyl, looking around.
'In the middle of nowhere,' growled Severus.
'We should at least bought some umbrella's from the market,' said meekly Dushan.
Filch had suddenly lost his nerves.
'That's wonderful!' he snarled, and began pacing around,' We are in the middle of a desert, with no water or shade! We don't even know where we are, nor know where to go. Without these things, I think the trip has been a waste of ti-aaaiiiiii!!!'
Filch screamed, as the sand below him gave way, and he fell down into a secret tunnel underneath the dune. He landed on the soft sand, so he didn't get hurt.
'Argus, are you alright?' asked Sibyl frantically, as they crowded around the hole.
A groan was heard from down there.
'Yes, but there is a corridor down here, that leads to somewhere.' Called back Filch.
The rest jumped down into the hole. They had landed onto the soft sand and looked around. In front of them was a dark, stone corridor.
'Lumos!' said Severus.
The light of his wand wasn't big enough to show the end of the corridor, but it had showed the mysterious pictures on the walls.
'Look at this!' exclaimed Severus.
On the walls were beautiful drawings of eagles, cobras, griffins and dragons. They were all pointing to the direction of the corridor.
'Come on!' called Dushan.
'But where is Argus?' asked Sibyl, noticing something wrong.
A muffled cry was heard under where Hagrid was sitting. Hagrid quickly got up, and under him was squashed Filch. The others quickly helped Filch up, while Filch shot daggers at Hagrid.
'Well, what have you got to say for yourself?' asked Filch, turning to Hagird, expecting an apology.
'Thanks for softening my fall!' answered Hagrid, cheerfully slapping Filch on the back.
Filch just rolled his eyes.
'Let's go!' barked Severus impatiently, startling all of them.
'You don't have to be so rough!' complained Sibyl.
Severus softened when Sibyl became involved.
'I have a bad feeling for this place,' he explained,' something is wrong, I know it.'
Our friends continued down the corridor, with their wands lit. As they went more down, the wider was the corridor, and there were more pictures on the walls. Suddenly, the corridor finished and opened, revealing a huge room. It was breath taking. It was painted in gold color, and was supported by huge silvery white pillars. The floor was made of white marble. There were pictures of a fight of dragons against griffins, unicorns against Cerberis, eagles against serpents, vampires against werewolves and much more. It seemed as if Michelangelo painted the whole room. There were ancient Chinese and Persian carpets on the floor, all leading to an altar covered in green silk. The was a silver casket on the altar.
'Beautiful.' Murmured Severus.
Hagrid took a step forward.
'Stop!' ordered Severus.
Severus took a Knut and threw it before him. At once, the floor gave away beneath the Knut, and it fell into a bottomless pit. They couldn't even hear the echo of the coin landing on the floor...if there was one.
'Sibyl,' said Severus, turning to Trelawney,' You must use your Inner Eye. I heard that they could be used for telepathy. See where all the traps are.'
Sibyl nodded and closed her eyes. An invisible wind blew around them as the Powers of the Inner Eye worked. For a few minutes it suddenly stopped. Sibyl opened her eyes.
'The first four squares are with bottomless pits,' she said,' the other two squares aren't, but once you step on them, a poisonous dart will shoot from the wall, hit your neck and you will die. The small part in front of the altar has pits, in which when you fall, you will land on sharp knives on the floor.'
The others became nervous.
'Why don't we apparate?' asked Dushan, but when he tried, the magic wouldn't work.
'They put an anti-appiration spell just like in Hogwarts!' said Severus, looking around. He eyes wavered to the carpets.
'Maybe...no, that sounds stupid,but..' Said Severus.
He suddenly jumped on a carpet. It began to rise, and soon it was floating in mid air!
'Wow! The carpet flies! Just like in the "Aladdin" cartoon!' amazed shouted Filch.
Severus flew over to the altar and took the casket. There was something in it. He flew back to the others and everyone cheered. Sibyl hugged him again and kissed him. Severus returned the kiss and everyone whistled.
'Yeh go Preffeser!' cheered Hagrid.
Severus blushed and took off the lipstick.
'That was simple!' commented Dushan.
'A bit too simple.' Frowned Severus.
'Well, at least this is over!' said Filch happily.
'Not quite yet!' snarled a familiar dangerous voice behind them.
Author's Note: What do you think. This chapter had more action and adventure than comedy. It's some kind of an Indiana Johns/ Tomb Raider/ Aladdin crossover. Now the excitement begins! (Starts singing Aladdin's song: Arabian Nights..) Please Review!
