Authors Note *Syron13 grabs chest and falls out of chair* don't know if I can go on *drags self up* It was horrible my first two review for CH2 might as well have been out right flamers. Quick Freelance-RogueWriter toss me the flam retardant spay. *tries to stomp out flaming story*
Well in response to my more negative reviewers:
1st yes my character my seem mary-sueish this is intentional if you want to know why hang around for a while if you can stand the sweetness. *Dementors run for there lives*
In General: If you think something is bad give me some examples so I know what your talking about. Otherwise I won't know how to improve my story. That's the difference between Constructive Criticism and Flaming.
OK If feel better now I think I can manage one more CH but I better get some good reviews from you readers or my confidence level is going right down the drain. You know I am really tired of people who don't have any stories of there own criticizing those that do. *sigh* Writing isn't as easy as it looks.
Disclaimer I don't own anything Harry Potter blah blah blah yada yada yada you get my drift.
Ch3
A Backwards World
As they reached the parking lot the automatic doors opened and Harry was hit by a wave of heat. It reminded him of when he had faced the dragon during the Tri-wizard tournament but at least that had only lasted a few minutes. This was more this being stuck in an oven with no way out. How can anyone live here, he thought as he forced himself to keep going.
The trek seemed to take forever as they walked down the rows of cars. Harry could feel the heat coming through the soles of his shoes, adding motivation to his steps. He was sure that if he stood still too long they would melt to the asphalt.
"Here we are" Iris said as they reached a small tan car. They both set down the truck and Iris started fumbling with a small bunch of keys. She found the one she was looking for and opened the trunk. (the cars on not Harry's) She took a look at all the stuff inside and then at the trunk giving an inward sigh. I really should have cleared some of this out before I came. If he had brought suitcases it would have made it much easier to arrange things. Oh well, Time for some Trunk Tetris.
Harry watched as Iris stared shoving and pushing things around in the back of the car. If he was aloud to use magic off of school grounds he could have just shrunk his things and put them in his pocket. Of course then he would have to explain why he didn't have any luggage to pick up or were it had come from once he enlarged it. When it came to muggles and magic, things always got so complicated.
When Iris finished moving things around they lifted the Trunk and put it in the back of the car. (I could have said trunk but that was getting confusing.) Iris had to put all her weight on the back before it finally clicked shut. Thank goodness, I don't even want to think what I would have had to do to get it inside the car if it hadn't fit.
She had a mental picture of the trunk filling all the space in the passengers side with Harry being unceremoniously shoved in the back of the car (aka trunk). She chuckled to herself before clearing the image from her mind and returning to the here and now.
"Well I guess its time to get going. Uhh.Harry what are you doing?"
What was he doing? He was just getting in the car so they could go of course. "I was going to get in the car."
Iris chuckled, "Well unless you plan on driving you might want to go to the other side."
The other side? Harry looked in the car and realized what she was talking about. "The steering wheels on the wrong side", Harry said a bit confused. The wheel should be on the right side of the car not the left.
"Hate to break it to you Harry but in America the steering wheel is on the left side. Oh, and just to warn you we drive on the right side of the road over here too."
"What? Why?" Harry made is way around to the other side.
"I have no idea. The only thing that I can figure is that after the revolution our forefathers were determined to do just about anything to separate themselves from jolly old England. Of course they didn't even have cars back then so I guess the rule applied to carriages. Which would make more sense for passengers to get out but then again they could probably of gotten out of either side and held the riens from either side so..uh I'm rambling. Sorry about that. Feel free to stop me when I get like that. If you don't there is no telling what topic I could get onto."
Yes her students often used this weakness against her. Getting her to talk about unclass related things until the bell would ring or there was so little time left nothing was accomplished. This was one of the reasons she leaned away from the lecture style and more towards projects, which worked just fine in an art class.
"Uh right" Harry replied nodding.
Then they were in the car and on their way. Harry realized very quickly that it was even hotter in the car than out side, if that was possible. Then when Iris turned on what he thought was the AC all he got was a blast of intensely hot air. Harry looked over and realized that Iris wasn't even sweating while he was already socked. She's not human she can't possibly be human.
"It will take a minute for the AC to cool off." Iris rolled down the windows a little to let the hot air escape the car.
To Harry's great relief the air did cool down to a tolerable temperature before they even got out of the car port. Then they pulled out from under the cover the structure had provided. Ah I'm blind.can't.see Harry squinted against the bright light that suddenly assaulted his eyes. Iris wasn't even phased by the change. Not human not human not human
It took Harry about 5 minutes before he could see anything again and even then it still seemed unnaturally bright. He looked around taking in the scenery. There was just one problem, there wasn't any. Sure there were buildings and things but they were all so short. Most weren't over one or two floors in height. He also noticed that the extent of plant life seemed to be some tall stick like things will weird looking leafs at the top (would he know what a palm tree is) and some small browning bushes. Were was all the green?
Harry again questioned how anyone could possibly live in such a place. The sky instead of the bright blue that he was use to was a sickly pale blue and there wasn't a cloud in sight. That was probably one of the reasons it was so bright.

They drove for almost an hour with neither one saying much. Harry hoped that they would get there soon because from the looks of things they were getting beyond the point of what civilization there was in this place. They were now on a single lane road that wound around a hill. As they came around a house came into view. Since it seemed to be the only thing for miles Harry hoped that their journey was coming to an end.
Authors Note I just wanted to get this out while I have the time. I will probably be dong some editing but I if I don't do it know who knows when you will see something new. I hope you like it, it's not very long. As far as me not updating in so long I have three things to say. Full time Work, Full time School, & Internship
