Sam: It's been ages since this has been updated! Let's see...what have we done so far? Someone with a good memory please re-cap for me (and readers)!

Hermione: Well first we all ended up in this very strange world. Then you turned up and told us that you were going to force us into tasks which I must say was not very nice of you and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks purple really doesn't go with that red frizz ball you call hair...

Sam: Looks whose talking bush head. Now get on with the re-capping!

Hermione: Firstly the Beybladers were sent home for being good friends, and then the Pokèmon lot got to go home for performing a rather interesting play about Scooby Doo. After that you sent the dwarf, dragon and blonde spider, who I believe were called the Yu-Gi-Oh lot home for reading a pretty rubbish poem from that silly book"

Sam: Watch it! I'm in charge remember

Hermione: Sorry but truth hurts! Next McFly were sent home performing that truly awful song by that terrible band called The Rasmus! I must say, that band really annoys me, have you seen his hair it's...

Sam: Alright that's it! You little $£#!

Hermione: ARRGGHH!

Voice over: This scene has been cut due to the sheer nonsense and Hermione: Take that the use of inflatable rubber mallets! Sam: When I get my hands around your scrawny little neck... Sorry for any inconvenience but it was for your own sanity! Hermione: Help! Thank You! Sam: Ha Ha got you now!

Sam: Brushes herself off Sorry about that! Thanks for the reviews. This chapter's for you! Hope you like it. Now, on with the story!

Chapter 4

"Who shall we pick next?" Sam said while nursing a bruise on her arm which she had received during the fight.
"Pick me! Pick me! I wanna go home" Ron jumped up and down so Sam could see him in the crowd.
"Yeah I'm tired I wanna go to sleep" Harry groaned
"I have an essay to finish" Hermione's arm was in bandages and a plaster was stuck to her head "and 1258 pages to read by tomorrow" Hermione began to panic, "I'll never do it in time" She turned to Harry and Ron, "It's your fault, if you hadn't made me come to watch you practise Quidditch I would have finished everything!"
"You wanted to come"
"No I did not"
"Yes you did"
"No..."
"SHUT UP!" Sam screamed, they shut up immediately, "Thank you! So you want to go home? Yes well here's what I want you to do." They listened closely, Hermione kept her distance

"I want you to...to...to...I know. I want you to square a circle"
"What!" Ron stared in disbelief
"That's impossible!" Hermione piped up "Leonardo Di Vinci tried and failed to square a circle. It's impossible. The famous drawing of the Vitruvian Man visually defines..." Sam cut in
"Shut it smarty pants! I was only joking! I don't need a history lesson. I know it's impossible that's why I asked! I should've known you'd find something to say though"
Hermione glared at Sam. Sam glared at Hermione back. Sparks issued from Sam's eyes. Hermione stepped backwards accepting defeat in the staring competion.

Sam continued
"Erm...yeah your task. I think genius here" nods at Hermione "should be quiet for a bit so we can actually make jokes without being corrected before getting to the punchline." Sam snaps her fingers and a zip appears across Hermione's horse shaped mouth (she's a horse remember), fastened shut with a padlock. Sam looks satisfied and Hermione throws evil looks.

"As for you three, your task is more exciting." Sam giggles and Harry, Ron and Malfoy look scared, terrified even! "All you have to do is enter that mansion, retrieve all of the nine silver spoons from around the place and the golden goblet which I'll warn you now; it's guarded by Count Mattcula!" A high pitched evil laugh echoed through the street

"Ooh nice sound effects," Anil said in amazement
"Yeah how come we don't have sound effects like that Bas?" Steven asked the fox
"The producers won't pay for a sound effect up grade so the writers don't write any scenes with sound effects any more" Basil explained sadly and turned to Sam "does it do that every time?" Basil asked
"I dunno" Sam replied "Count Mattcula" Sam repeated and yet again the laugh was heard
"Obviously" Sam smiled at Basil
"Coz obviously she's out of my league I'm wasting my time coz she'll never be mine..." Merry and Pippin burst into song, but stopped as Sam shot them evil glares.
"McFly have left my evil wonderland so we don't need reminding of the foul four"
"Anyway where were we...oh yeah" She turned to the three terrified lads who were awaiting their doom!

"Let's see. I'll give you erm...one hour exactly. Return within the hour and with all ten items and you can go back to Hogwarts in time for the feast. Return within the hour with 5 or more and I might be nice and let you leave, depending on how hard you worked to find them. However, if you return with less than 5 items or with all ten but out of time...well...let's cross that bridge when we come to it eh?"

They exchange frightened expressions before accepting their fate.

"Great! Before you begin have you any questions? No! Good now get in there! Oh and watch out for the hidden traps" Sam snaps her fingers again and they disappear. A large screen with a digital clock on top counting down the time appears outside so that everyone can see what is going on inside Mattcula's mansion.

"Harry!" Ron the leprechaun tugged at Harry Hippogriff's feathers in fright
"Stop snivelling Weasel" Malfoy hissed from the ground
"Look at yourself Ferret before you insult some one else!" He retaliated looking around the haunted building
"It looks like the Shrieking Shack but bigger" Harry's thoughts immediately found their way to thinking of Sirius and Lupin. He sniffed at the thought of his godfather but put the thought out of his mind quickly
"And spookier and with more cobwebs and less trashed furniture. It's more like a creepy Hogwarts. Looks like this Mattcula creep's never heard of a duster" Ron ran his finger across a table that was in the spooky hall and coughed and sneezed as the disturbed dust particle found their way up his nostrils and into his mouth before settling back in a thick layer on the table. "Such a shame. That table would look nice if it was polished"
"Of course you've never seen anything polished have you Weasley! It would be a new experience!" Ron's face turned red with anger and he stepped forwards to grab Malfoy but Harry held Ron's collar in his beak to hold him back.
Harry turned to Ron "Just leave him. He's not worth it Ron" Harry turned to Malfoy "You'd better keep it shut! If you'd paid more attention to Hagrid you'd know that a Hippogriff's favourite food is Ferret and I'm hungry right now so watch it OK?" Malfoy sneered "Right let's get looking for these spoons"

Meanwhile outside...

"Well this is entertaining!" Steven said excitedly
"Yes, the little scrapping makes it much more thrilling don't you think Sam"
"Oui, Yes, Hai"
"Ooh she's a tri-lingual!"
"Actually that's only three languages out of about six that I can answer in"
"What can you speak?" Steven asked in interest
"English, French, German, Latin, and a little Spanish and Japanese"
"Hmm...Not bad"
A muffled sound came from Hermione whose mouth was still firmly fastened. She was annoyed and maybe jealous

Back to the Mansion...

"Look Harry I found one" Ron held up a silver spoon he'd found in the draw of the table he'd been admiring. Attached to it was a note.
"Well read it then" Malfoy sneered "Or are the words too long for you to understand"
"Shut it Ferret" Ron warned. He began to read
"A spoon's been discovered
From within this draw
But still to uncover
Is another eight more

One will be hidden
In the room to the right
Hurry, now quickly
And seek for the fight"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron shook his head
"I wish we had Hermione here!" Harry agreed
"Well let's get in there" Malfoy lead the way into the room on the right hand side of the hall! It was a large circular room with portraits of past Counts around the wall. It was cluttered and messy.
"Seek for the fight" Harry repeated. "Well it certainly looks like there's been a war in here but what's 'the fight'?"
"I have no idea but I hope we don't have to do any fighting" Ron said squeakily, searching the room for 'the fight'
"Malfoy, we have to work together for now if we're gonna get out of here alive, you got that?"
"Whatever" He smirked. "Hey Weasley this is not time for games" Malfoy yelled as he saw Ron looking at an old chess board on one of the tables in the centre of the room. Ron scratched his head

'This is odd.' Ron thought 'whoever was playing this last obviously had to leave before making the finishing move. Oh well I'll help him out' He decided
"Knight to E5!" The knight obeyed "Checkmate! Whoa!" Ron exclaimed as the chess board parted into two halves, revealing another spoon and another riddle.
"Harry! Malfoy! I've found another!" The two came scrambling over to him and peered over the table and saw the spoon. "The fight was a chess game. A fight between Black and White!"
"Great! Read the next clue. We still have seven spoons and a goblet to find in 50 minutes and who knows what's gonna try and stop us"
Malfoy snatched the paper up from the table and began to read it
"Ah, two you have found
Still seven you seek
The next you will find
In a body less beak"

"This is so confusing"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean" Malfoy thrust the paper at Harry hoping for answers
"A body less beak could be a hunting trophy"
"Huh?"
"You know, a head of a beast mounted onto a plaque and displayed on the wall of a trophy room. Mansions like this are bound to have a trophy room. Only the rich have them and a Count must be rich" Malfoy looked bored by Harry speech but saw some sense in it. The three left the circular chamber and searched for a trophy room.

Outside...

"He's not as dumb as he looks is Harry!" Sam wasn't overly impressed by their performance in the mansion so far, it had been boring but there hadn't been any obstacles for them to face yet.
"Time for a little bit of a surprise" Sam looked around at the Digidestined "I think we'll send in Tai the hunch-back of Notre Mansion!" Tai smiled and Sam zapped him into position in the Trophy Room! Everyone watched the screen in anticipation, waiting to see what the trophy room had in store for the trio of spoon seekers.

I think I'll leave it there coz I've run out of rhymes and it seems like a good place to leave it! I'm changing the category to Harry Potter coz the next few chapters with be mainly Harry Potter coz I've got to finish the Mansion task. Hope you liked it and will keep reading! Please review!
