Chapter Two: The Underground "MOM"

The shuttle was flying down the long chute.

"Damn it can't these things go any faster" shouted Root, his face becoming redder by the second.

"I'm already going 700m.p.h"

"Well that's not fas-"

He was cut off by a sudden jerk made by the shuttle. Holly had stopped.

"Why did you stop"

"We're here" she answered and then turned on the outside view. All they saw was what could have once been a large building but now it was just ruins.

"So commander, what should we do?"

"Lets go inside and see what was giving off the magical energy, when we find it we either

take it to study or if it cant be moved we observe it."

"Yessir."

They activated their shields and proceeded from the shuttle with caution.

"D'Arvit" exclaimed Root. "Foaly's amazing inventions led us to nothing yet ag-

"Wait a minute, do you hear something?" asked Holly.

"Yea, what is that?"

As they turned around they saw a short man with gray hair. As he ran towards them pulling something out of his pocket, the so-called ruin built up behind him and transformed into a big, busy hallway with many doors and elevators leading to various places. As he came he shouted "INTRUDERS!!!!!!!"

Many people started to gather and surround Holly and Root. They began to reach for their guns but the second they had them in their hands someone from the crowd shouted "accio" and the guns flew from their hands.

The same gray haired man stepped forward and said "Who and what are you?"

"We are the LEP and if you don't shut that hole in your face right now and tell us who you are then…." Root looked around and seemed to have finally noticed that they were surrounded and weaponless.

"I believe you are horribly outnumbered" said the man.

Seeing that they were outnumbered Root explained who they were and where they came from. They did not go into too much detail about The People because that would mean betraying The Book. After they had finished this they managed to ask enough questions to find out about where they were. They discovered they were in the ministry of magic building, which was run by wizards.

Soon they saw more of the building and while 'touring' the building they saw more and more of the wizard's work, which helped to explain why The People hadn't encountered them before now, except on one special occasion which they would rather not remember.

On the way out of the building they saw a newspaper lying on the ground, actually Holly saw it. At first it didn't seem to hold anything of interest but then she spotted the title of one of the smaller articles. "Crackpot Potter Claims Volde____ To Have Returned". Volde… she knew what the rest of the name would be, and even if they didn't believe it someone had to check it out just in case. She remembered what happened last time, not everyone did because of the mass mind-wipes. Could he be back she thought. We must ask this Potter guy about what he knows.

The only problem was: how the heck were they going to find him.
