Chapter 3
p"We need a plan!" hissed Hermione (that sentence relates strangely to us don't u think? Lol)/p
p"Well think of one then! You're the brain box here!" scolded Ron /p
p"I'M TRYING!" Hermione almost yelled back. Harry elbowed her. /p
p"There's no point us being under an invisibility cloak if you're going to make a racket anyway!" Harry hissed feeling more than a little uneasy. /p
p"That's it!" cried Hermione "Lets make as much noise as we can!" /p
pHarry and Ron exchanged exhasperated looks. "Ok all the exertion has taken its toll, she's lost it," Ron said./p
p Hermione scowled. If anything was straining her sanity it was the way Ron was acting lately. She sighed audibly "Do I have to explain everything to you!" she said in desperation, "Isn't it obvious?"/p
p"No Hermione, Insane maybe but not obvious" Ron responded in the same cold comportment with which he had been treating her for the last three months./p
p"Well if we make a lot of noise some one will come and help!" /p
p"Or come and put us all in detention for the rest of the year!" /p
p"Ron could you get your priorities right, I mean if we weren't here nobody would know about those people and besides your starting to sound like me..."/p
p"Hermione why don't we just curse them and have done with it?" Harry asked quietly interrupting Ron and Hermione mid argument. /p
p"Because if we did that Pagan and Rogue would personally murder us for disrupting the little bit of a story line that they have! And since they're by far bigger and scarier than us we best follow the damn script! Yes Ron even if it does make you into an obsessive jealous jerk!" Hermione snapped./p
pAll three looked up in fear at the constant faces of the great makers of fate and sighed in longing for (Harry) that much power (Hermione) that much knowledge (Ron) the lack of hormones that plague his family in general. Although that could also be applied to Harry, (however in Pagans case the lack of hormones isn't the problem.) /p
p"Ok let's make some noise!" said Ron being the first to emerge from the awestricken state. They walked over to the nearest suit of armour and pushing as much as they could whilst under an invisibility cloak sent it falling to the floor with an all mighty crash- /p
BR
pAlanna Spun around searching the darkness for the cause of the omnipotent sound. Finding no reason behind her she span back to Jon and Gary (bA/N yes we realise that it was Raoul earlier on in the story however Pagan and I have constituted some sort of plan and he is needed else where, fear not he will arise habitually within our story. Mindya so will Celine Dione, and the mouse/squirrel from ice age...)/b Sword drawn and sharp purple eyes darting warily over the seemingly abandoned corridor. Suddenly Dumbledore (yes he heard the crash!) came bounding up the corridor pulled out his wand and despite specific orders from pagan not to lay a hand on Gary cursed all three of the warriors presently intruding into his castle./p
p "AND CUT!" – Random director. /p
pP.K: "Ok who scripted that? Why is Gary frozen? Who dares to harm Gary! /p
pI.R (overly dramatic voice) "Who dares to defy Pagan?! Show your self and prepare to be congratulated! You stunned Jon yey!" *does happy dance*/p
pP.K: Erm we're all forgetting a very important issue here Gary is stunned! I don't understand, why is Gary stunned?!" /p
pI.R: "I don't know I didn't write the darn thing!" /p
pP.K: "well I certainly didn't..." /p
p*creepy background music*/p
p *P.K and I.R huddle and glance worriedly from side to side*/p
p I.R: (shouting over music) "Let's just blame it on the orange juice baring pink elves in an attempt to get us to post chapter three!" /p
pP.K *shrugs* Yeah okay.... *to music which is by this time reaching its crescendo* WOULD YOU SHUT UP?! *music abruptly halts* right on with the story!"/p
p*Dodgy squirrel thing from iIce Age/i flies across screen*/p
p Alanna stamped her foot "Why does no body care about me damn it?!" she yelled./p
p P.K "hey! Back to your places! Lights, camera, action!"/p
pDumbledore glanced about and at seeing the suit of armor splayed over the marble
floor grinned and somehow talked directly in the direction where Harry, Ron
and Hermione were standing, "Mr. Potter? I would appreciate it if you would do me
the privilege of showing your self? It does nothing for ones persona of sanity
to be seen conversing with yourself."/p
pHarry glanced at Hermione and Ron attempting to hint for them to stay covered.
Hermione glared then looked away pretending to miss his meaning. Ron on the
other hand smiled. Rolling his eyes he said, "You're not hogging all the glory this time,
mate." Thus the cloak slid from all three shoulders. Dumbledore's
eyes glistened with mischief. Sighing gently he said in an undertone, "The
marauders all over again." Raising his voice he said swiftly, "Okay you three I
believe a trip to the grounds is in order." Seeing their confused faces he
elaborated, "Soldiers are like ants, find a few and there are always more close
by."/p

pLevitating a trio of warriors down through the pitch black grounds and keeping
from falling proved harder than expected and as Dumbledore had left this
'privilege' to Harry he somehow felt that this was a punishment in order to sooth Mr.
Filtch's wounded pride if he ever discovered that students had been out of bed
without his awareness./p
pThey reached Hagrid's hut, and for some reason could hear much banter. Puzzled they crept forward
Harry's jaw was firmly set waiting, Hermione's chin was thrust out determined
and Ron was stood protectively behind her (unless of course if you are referring
to the Ron in the films who by this point would have wet himself and be a mere
speck in the distance). Dumbledore awakened the warriors, and after disarming them warned that one wrong move would cost them their lives. Harry wasn't quite
sure whether Dumbledore was serious however he wouldn't bated him with the look
that was presently upon his face. They snuck around Hagrid's cabin emerging
behind a large mulberry bush. (bA/N No they were not holding hands dancing, and
singing "here we go round the mulberry bush!" Although it was on Ron's to do list/b) and the sight that met their eyes
caused wizards, warriors and witch jaws alike to fall open in amazement.
pLaughter was flowing, along with the mead. Fang was sat tail wagging in
expectance of the tips that were being tossed his way, multiple card games were
taking place then a large explosion drew their attention to where Fred and
George were demonstrating their latest product, and lastly Hagrid was sat on a large upturned
crate arm wrestling with none other than Raoul the giant killer. The scene was
altogether reminiscent of the very first scene in the very first Lord of the
Rings movie if you can cast your eyes back that far./p
p
"What the hell is going on here?" Jon exclaimed. /p
p"And how come your name was mentioned?" Harry demanded. "This is meant to be from my point of view!"/p
P"Oh shut up Harry," Hermione snapped. "Why don't you go mourn for Sirius? You did cause his death after all."/p
pMillions of fans wept bitterly./p
p"Hagrid!" Dumbledore yelled. "What is going on here?"/p
pHagrid looked up, causing Raoul to win the arm wrestle. "Yippee!" Raoul exclaimed./p
p"Bloody hell," Hagrid grumbled, causing several shocked parents to drag their children out of the cinema. "Professor Dumbledore, sir," Hagrid said loudly, making his way over to Dumbledore in three short strides. "I found this lot lurking round the forest. They was lost and probably gonna get eaten' by summthin' so I brought em over here."/p
pDumbeldore, Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at their imprisoned warriors. Well, if you could call stumbling along after three children and a very old man imprisoned./p
p"Er..." Jon said, glancing at his two companions for help. They just shrugged. A sudden idea hit Jon, "Yes!" he cried, in a strangely girlish voice. "My comrades and I are merely tourists, come to take snazzy photos of your historic castle and buy cheep merchandise from your over priced gift shops."/p
pAlanna and Gary stared at him. So did Dumbledore./p
p "Oh," the headteacher said finally. "Oh well, that's all right then!" he suddenly cried. "Welcome to Hogwarts. And I apologise for the attack earlier, here let me get you a drink..." He led Jon over to a large barrel of mead, while Hagrid, grinning beneath his huge beard, hurried back over to Raoul. Alanna and Gary shrugged before following their leader. After all, buying cheep merchandise is fun!/p
p
"But aren't there meant to be anti muggle -" Hermione began, but was quickly cut off by a sudden loud burst of music. /p
p "And so," the deep voiced narrator said in a very deep voice, "The first act of friendship between the realm of Tortall, and that of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, took place. And from that day onwards, there was much laughter and merry making between the two."
BRWith a fatherly smile, the aging man before the fire place looked down at his spell bound grandson and said, "The End," before closing the leather bound red book./p
p
The little grandson looked up at him. "What the hell?!" /p
