Experiment Danger: Field Trip To The Moon
Chapter 2: Destination: Found
The eight were seated in the Great Hall awaiting further instructions. Saying goodbye to everyone had been rather awkward. Their friends had been rude and obnoxious stating that they hated them because they were leaving them to go to the moon. The eight had ignored this as much as possible but it had been hard since it was coming from their friends.
"Ah, I'm glad to see that all of you have survived the farewells. Now, onto taking off. You will be lead to the Hogwarts Train Station and the shuttle will be there. We will be aiding you through the flight using microphones. Now follow me," Dumbledore beckoned as he walked out of the Great Hall.
The eight followed him happily. They reached the train station and sure enough there was the shuttle. It was huge, about fifty feet in height. And sure enough it was shaped as a broom as Dumbledore had said. The handle was a brownish sparkle and it fanned out in back into a golden haze of what was the tail.
"Wow! It's lovely!" Ginny exclaimed, clapping her hands together.
"Yup, just like a real broom!" Harry added.
"I want to get on!" Ron whined.
"Hold on Mr. Weasley, patience is a virtue. First, here are the microphones-"He handed them out and showed them how to put it on their ear and all. "If you have any questions, ask us through those. Inside there will be instructions on how to turn on the shuttle. Enjoy your voyage."
The eight rushed through the door excitedly, bumping into each other and the many walls. The shuttle was lying down so it was easy to run in. The seats faced the tip of the handle. They all buckled up quickly: Draco, Pansy, and Blaise in the front three seats, then Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the middle three seats, and last but not least came Ginny and Luna in the last two seats. It was odd how the seating was perfectly arranged.
"How do you turn this thing on?" asked Pansy as she looked at the many switches.
"I know," Draco replied. "Don't worry."
Pansy smiled. "Of course you know, darling. You know everyting!" Pansy said everything in a way that made you think that the word meant a lot to her.
Harry made a puking noise but Ron literally threw-up. And Hermione had the pleasure of cleaning it up.
Draco smirked and Blaise helped him read all the instructions and turn it on expertly.
"How come we didn't get to turn it on?" pouted Ron.
"Because they pushed us to the middle row," Hermione explained.
"Ugh, I hate Draco," Harry hissed.
"That's no fair! Are we going to let them do that?" Ron asked.
"Unless you want to go and ask them to move," Hermione began, "yes."
Harry and Ron gave twin sighs and settled back into their seats.
"See, I got it working!" Draco boasted to all of them.
"With Blaise's help," added Hermione angrily in a hushed voice.
"What. A. Snob," Ginny sighed.
And soon, they were off.
The shuttlebroom zoomed up into a standing position and blasted into space at warp speed. Everyone was holding on to each other tightly.
"It's beautiful!" Hermione exclaimed as space and beyond came into view.
"Oh yes!" Luna agreed.
"Hey, don't we need masks or anything? Whenever Dudley's watching astronaut on T.V. they always have all this heavy stuff on for protection," Harry explained.
"No, we don't. Dumbledore has casted some sort of spell on us that fixes everything!" Hermione said happily.
"Having magic rocks!" Ron cheered.
Mhms and you bet sounded in the shuttlebroom.
"Hey, is there any food here?" Ron asked.
"Have you been trying to gain weight lately, Weasel? Because if you have, it's been working marvelously," Draco teased.
Ron got up angrily to beat up Malfoy but was held back by Hermione and Harry.
"Calm down, Ron. You know what he said isn't true!" Hermione whispered to him."Yeah, just ignore him," added Harry.
"Here! I found some chips!" Ginny cried as she waved a bag around.
"Thanks, Gin," Ron said as he grabbed the bag, popped it open, and dunked a few chips in his mouth. "'Ant some 'uys?"
"No, thanks."
"Not hungry."
"IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT?" boomed in a voice.
The eight jumped up in fright. Who was speaking?
"I REPEAT! IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT?" came the voice again.
"Who are you?" Draco shouted back.
"YOUR HEADMASTER, MR. MALFOY! SO, AGAIN, IS EVERYONE-"
"Yes, Headmaster, everyone is just fine. We've gotten the shuttle to take off and we're in space," Hermione answered.
"GOOD! YOU SHOULD BE THERE IN A FEW HOURS! GOOD DAY!"
"A few hours!" squealed Ginny excitedly.
"I can't wait!" Hermione said.
Hours passed of toilet flushing, food crumbs flying, and arguments between Draco and the Golden Trio. Finally, the moon was in sight.
"There! I see it!" squealed Pansy as she pointed to a silvery white object in the distance.
Everyone leaned forward to get a closer look. Oohs and Aahs chorused inside the shuttle.
Draco steered the shuttle and was about to land when a great squelching noise erupted into the air accompanied by a horrid smell.
"Ew, Weasel! Please, do it in your litter box!" Draco cried.
"Why you-"Ron jumped up and pounced on Draco.
"Ron, get back here!" Ginny ordered. "He's the only one who knows how to fly this thing. We need him in perfect condition!"
"What do you mean perfect condition? He was already bought with a shortage of brain cells for a cheap price!" Ron argued back.
"Shortage of brain cells? I'm not the one failing all the classes!" Draco yelled. Soon the two were on each other, rolling on the ground and pounding the other to pieces. When the others pulled them off of each other, Ron had a black eye and Draco was not bruised.
Draco dusted himself off and hopped back on his chair. "That teaches you to never mess with me again, Weasel!"
"Shut up ferret!" Ron squeaked back in pain.
Draco rolled his eyes muttering "childish insults" and went back to his captain duty that had been taken care of by Blaise while they were fighting.
"W-what was that?" Pansy stuttered. Everyone was looking around for anything that had broken off or could've made that noise. They found nothing.
Draco tried again to land the shuttle and the noise came out again in shorter spasms.
"What is that?" Pansy asked again.
"It's the engine," came Blaise's grave reply.
"E-engine?" stuttered Ginny.
Blaise nodded.
Draco tried to land again and bounced onto the surface miraculously with lots of broken down engine noises. Once the shuttle landed the doors bounded open and everyone raced out.
"Do you think it's broken for good?" asked Ron.
"I don't know," came Blaise's reply.
"What if we're," Ginny gasped,"stuck here forever!"
"We can always tell Dumbledore," Harry thought.
"Oh yeah!" Hermione said. "Headmaster, can you hear us?"
"I CAN HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR! WE HAVE HEARD THE NOISES AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. FOR NOW ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE!" came Dumbledore's loud voice.
"Okay."
The eight began to look around for shelters leaving the dying shuttle behind.
A/N-So, did you like? Well the shuttle's broken down and they're off to find shelters. What's going to happen next? Dun Dun Dun...
