Prologue: Explosion in Space
This is the Earth…at a time when the dinosaurs roamed a lush and fertile planet. A piece of rock just six miles wide changed all that. It hit with the force of 10,000 nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt and rock hurtled into the atmosphere, creating a suffocating blanket of dust the sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years.
It happened before…it WILL happen again.
It's just a question of when.
Up in the vast ocean of space, the astronauts were doing their job to repair the broken satellite. One astronaut, James Parker, was fitted in his suit and was outside doing his job. Inside the shuttle, one of the pilots received an incoming call over the intercom from NASA. "How's it looking up there?"
"We're doing great, Houston, should be done in a couple of minutes."
James floated in the airless vacuum that was space, finishing up his job. Wait. Something was wrong here. He could feel it.
Vibration. Then an explosion. The satellite had just exploded! Before James could look behind him, rocks had ripped through his space suit and many more were heading straight for him and the shuttle.
"Houston!"
James was thrown back past the shuttle and continued to fly away from the shuttle. As he watched in terror, the shuttle exploded right in front of him. A piece of the shuttle came right for him, shattering his visor. He felt the air being sucked out of his suit, and succumbed to the darkness.
Harry James Potter was in Potions class with Slytherin, sitting next to Hermone who was sitting next to Ron. He was bored out of his mind, but didn't dare fall asleep; he had already cost Gryffindor five points that day. Professor Dumbledore walked in. "Severus," he said, "I need to see Harry. It's urgent. Very important."
"Professor, can you tell my friends?" Harry protested as he stood up and grabbed his books.
"We should probably talk alone," Dumbledore said.
"Professor, I am going to tell my friends sooner or later, so why don't you just talk with all three of us?"
"Very well," Dumbledore said, motioning for Hermione and Ron to follow. "Grab your books, because I don't think you'll be returning." They grabbed their books and the trio followed Dumbledore through the halls and up to his office.
He sat them down and began to speak. "We are in grave danger. A rogue asteroid is headed right toward us. Right toward Earth. Right now I've got 400 of the world's smartest witches and wizards working on a plan to try and deflect the asteroid."
Harry stared, apparently in shock. Hermione raised her hand in question. "What kind of damage will this do to us?"
Dumbledore sighed, the worry lines in his face growing deeper. "This is what the Bible would call Armageddon. When this asteroid hits Earth, it will kill everything and everyone. Nothing, and I mean nothing would survive."
Hermione seemed on the verge of tears. Harry stared in shock and Ron gripped Hermione's hand tightly to comfort her. "Oh, my God…" Hermione whispered, tears streaming down her face. "How much time do we have?" she asked.
"Approximately two weeks," Dumbledore stated.
Harry stared at him, his eyes wide. "Six billion people on the planet. Why'd you guys call me?"
