Dolphin and Wyverna walked into the cinema, chatting animatedly. They were going to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. They'd both seen it, and both thought it was rubbish, but they were going to see it again because according to the posters it was the 500th showing at Cineworld.
"Tom Felton is simply not cute!" Dol argued.
"No, no, but compared to Daniel Radcliffe? Or Rupert Grint?"
"Ewww!" both girls exclaimed, laughing. They took their seats, and waited for the movie to start. Wyverna took advantage of the adverts to whisper something to Dol.
"There's no-one else in here!"
"Well, yeah! It's been out since like, forever!"
"I know, it's just... creepy. It's a weird cinema, too. I mean, I've been to Cineworld loads of times, and I've never been in Screen," she checked her ticket, "nine and three quarters before. There's no such screen!"
"No(!) Don't be stupid, it's just some special thing they put on for the official
500th showing of the movie."
"Hmm..." was all that Wyverna replied, showing that she was still slightly uneasy. The trailers ended, and the movie began.
Now transporting to – Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Please hold onto your seats!
"Wtf? That's not right!" complained Wyverna. "Look – transporting. What's all that about? Please hold onto your seats? What the – " She was cut off, however, as the cinema began rocking back and forth. "See! See!"
"Shut up! It's just one of those moving cinema thingies."
"Since when did they have those in Cineworld? And wouldn't it have cost more to get in than four pound blummin' fifty?"
"Look, I don't know, ok?" The cinema stopped rocking, and stayed still, like a cinema should. The screen blurred and fizzed, before showing the doors to the Great Hall. "See? It's ok now!" The girls looked at the screen for a little longer.
"Nothing's happening!" Wyverna said to Dol, in a loud stage whisper.
"I know! Stop fussing!" They stayed in silence for a little longer before Wyverna stood up.
"I'm going to touch the screen," she announced. Dol jumped up.
"Cool! Me too!" They raced to touch the screen first, jumping over chairs, and running down the aisle. Dol got there first, and tentatively touched the screen. She instantly pulled her hand back.
"What? What is it?" asked Wyverna, clambering over the last chair. "Did it electrocute you?"
"Honestly! Do you think I'd still be here if it had?" Wyverna shrugged.
"I dunno."
"Well I wouldn't, ok? No, it just felt like... like wood."
"Wood? Don't be stupid, cinema screens aren't made of wood!" She touched the screen where the door handle was. "It's metal." Dol touched the bottom of the door again.
"No, feel here. It's definitely wood." Wyverna pushed at the screen... and the door slowly swung open. All of Hogwarts were seated in the hall, and they turned to stare at the two.
"Um, is this supposed to happen?" Dumbledore rose, and strode over to where Wyverna and Dol were stood, somehow inside the hall.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yeah, see, we were watching this movie, and now we're here."
"Movie?"
"Well, it's like, pictures, on a screen..." explained Dolphin. Dumbledore appeared to be thinking about this, before he turned and called "Harry Potter!" A dark-haired boy stood up from where he had been sitting at walked towards them.
"Daniel Radcliffe," said Wyverna. "A lot of girls would kill to be in our shoes right now." The boy frowned.
"Daniel who? I'm Harry Potter."
