Vicky, Manda and Deejay
Disclaimer: I own nothing, etc. etc.
I'm just going to get on with it, I think.

"Enervate."
The first thing Vicky saw was a hand holding a stick. (A/N huh?!) The hand led to an arm, which led to a shoulder, which led to a neck, which, rather unsurprisingly, led to a face. What was surprising was that it was Aimie's face. (A/N Nooooooooo! Get it away! Get it away! It's horrible! *pauses* oh, it's you. Oh. Whoops!)
The face spoke. (A/N Wow.) "Vicky. Vicky? How many fingers?" She held up two fingers.
"Oi!"
"Good. Come over here a minute, I'd better explain." She dragged a very confused Vicky a few metres away. "Now. Listen carefully. You know how I'm probably the most careless person in the world?"
"Yes." She answered. Aimie glared.
"You were meant to disagree with that!" (A/N Why? Hasn't this fic demonstrated quite clearly that you are?) "Anyway, shut up. You know that nice new necklace I bought?"
"I told that was cheap! Where is it, I'll see if I can fix it…"
"I said, SHUT UP!!!"
"Ok." She squeaked.
"Well, did everything go purple after I read out the inscription?"
"Er…yeeeeees."
"Well, it happened to be a magical amulet. Apparently called an amulet of portae praetexta, which are really, really rare and powerful. It seems we have been…"
"Hey! What are we doing in a forest?!"
"…transported into another dimension. . . "
"And are there some other people over there? Who are they?"
"Which is the dimension that…"
"That guy looks just like Harry Potter!"
". . . Harry Potter comes from."
Vicky's eyes opened very wide. "Harry Potter's here….?" She stared.
"Yes, now. So I can do magic now, thanks to this pendant, and I'm going to use a linking charm so you and everyone else can use magic as well. We'll get extra powers too, like telepathy and stuff, sounds cool, huh?"
Vicky had gone glassy-eyed. "Harry Potter…"
She started to walk slowly forward, as though drawn by an invisible force towards the man of her dreams. Aimie grabbed her by the collar and yanked her back. She looked over at a very alarmed Harry.
"Now you see why I told you to stand back from her."
Harry looked scared. "Point taken."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They wandered through the forbidden forest, following Aimie, who was dangling the amulet before her, and seemed in a sort of trance. So was Vicky. Luckily, Hermione was keeping her away from Harry, who was hiding behind Ron.
"Manda's here somewhere." Aimie said. "Manda?!" Everyone joined in. (A/N Apart from Vicky, who said "Harry? Harry!")
They heard faint muttering from somewhere in front of them.
"Bloody , stupid *censored* trees… ow that hurts…my head…why always the face?…goddammed son of a… You can stop yelling now! Hello?"
There she was. She was sitting on the ground looking angrily at a low branch, with a nasty-looking bruise on her forehead.
"Vicky? Aimie? What the hell is going on? I know this is all your fault!"
"It's complicated. Are you ok? And yes, it is my fault, I admit it."
*Explains all the dull boring stuff I just said to Vicky*
"So yeah, basically." She finished. (A/N So eloquent, Aimie.)
"I seriously hate you two, you know that? If you weren't so HP obsessed, this would never have happened."
Vicky jerked momentarily out of her reverie. "True. It's amazing, we are truly brilliant."
She introduced Harry, Ron and Hermione to Manda. The girl seemed a lot happier after Hermione healed her forehead.
"Right, Deejay's the next nearest now. Come on everyone." Aimie called.
"Hang on." Said Manda. "I know a better way to contact him."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is possibly the worst situation I've ever been in, thought Deejay, hanging upside-down by the ankles. He could just see the fauns talking to a group of what looked like centaurs. Why am I here? Did I die and get sent to hell for my crimes? Am I about to be ritually disemboweled, cooked until I'm medium-rare, then eaten at some satanic banquet?
Suddenly, a midi-version of 'Mary had a little lamb' bleeped into existence. Distracted, Deejay took his mobile out of a pocket.
"Hello?"
"Hi Deej, it's me."
"Manda?"
"Yep. Now, where are you?"
"At the moment? I am hanging upside-down by my ankles, while a bunch of fauns and centaurs decide whether to eat me straight, or cook me first."
"Right. Um…hang on a sec."
There was a momentary rustling as the phone was handed over.
"Ok Deejay, its Aimie. Right, as far as I know, the fauns won't eat you, so you're safe. We're on our way to find you, so just hang on a bit."
"I can't, my arms won't go up. Being upside-down will do that."
"Oh, ha ha. Give it a rest, we'll be there in a bit."
She hung up.
**Vicky yells** CUT!!!!!
Aimie, I just thought. Harry, Ron and Hermione aren't saying much, are they?
Hmmm…I suppose not. Ok, how's this:
"So, Ron, how are you today?" Said Harry.
"Fine thanks. You, Hermione?" She nodded. "Good. What are we doing today? Just following Aimie around until she finds all her friends?"
"Yep, that's it. Sounds fun doesn't it?"
"Yup!" Said Ron and Hermione happily, and they all raced after Aimie, Vicky and Manda. The end.
I think I speak for the entire world when I say that was pathetic.
Well you try then!
Ok then.
Ron turned to Harry. "You know, I get the feeling something life-changing is about to happen."
"Yes." His friend replied. "I have just noticed how beautiful Vicky looks in the moonlight. I don't think I will ever be the same again."
Hermione just sighed. It looked like her dreams of marrying Harry had, in short, been rumbled.
Right. Ok. Look, I think I'll just stuff that and give them a bit more dialogue in the rest of it, ok? Dammit, you broke my train of thought. I'm going to stop now then. Bit of a short chapter, but we can't have everything. :)
