A/N: Hey everyone, I'm BAACK!!! What, no cheers? I'm insulted (joking). Well it's been a while but now I'm back and full of ideas. Read away dudes and dudets.

The Search: Part one
"You're telling me that some guy that looked exactly like Cho's dad kidnapped her right out from under yours and Dumbledore's noses?" Ron said in disbelief.
"Yes" Harry sighed.
"But Harry shouldn't she have been able to get away? I mean, she is an archmage after all" Hermione said.
"Yes she should have but obviously she hasn't so something must've happened with her powers, or" Harry too a deep breath and let it out "Or the person who captured her is much more powerful than her." Said Harry.
"You mean that he could be an archmage?" Ron asked incredulously.
"Yes that is exactly what I'm saying" Harry said. Suddenly Harry's head shot up with a look of hope in his eyes. He closed his eyes and cocked his head as if he were listening for something. He nodded occasionally then finally after about five minutes he opened his eyes and looked at Ron and Hermione.
"Merlin said he knows where she is" Harry said.
"Thank goodness! Where is she?" Hermione asked anxiously.
"In Antarctica" Harry said.
There was a short silence and then…
"You've got to be kidding me" Ron said in disbelief.
"How the heck did they get there so fast? It would take DAYS just to fly up there!" Ron said in disbelief.
"Yeah, and you can't exactly apperate onto and off of school grounds" Hermione said.
"What about floo?" Ron suggested.
"Ron, what did we learn in Potions?" Hermione asked.
"Hermione, I think you forgot who you're talking to?" Ron smirked (A/N: For what reason I'm not sure…)
"For once Ron, you're right" Hermione sighed.
Ron shot her one of his 'shut up' looks then went back to his look of hard thinking. "Why would they want her though?" He asked. "I mean yeah she's hot, she really is Harry, and smart and powerful, but she doesn't really know anything about our secrets or anything like that. Does she?" Ron and Hermione looked at Harry.
"No, she doesn't know anything really important except the stuff from Avalon." Harry said. Ron and Hermione stared Harry for a moment longer before slowly nodding.
"Ok" Ron said. "So, what should we do about this?" Ron asked.
"I think we should get someone to go up to Antarctica and search for her" Hermione said.
"Yeah and while we're at it we can tell them all about the Archmages and Avalon and how Harry and Cho became archmages in less than twenty four hours" Ron said sarcastically.
"Er, oh yeah, I forgot about that" Hermione said with a blush of embarrassment coming up her cheeks.
Ron smiled at her and said, "you know you look kind of cute when you blush." Hermione blushed a bit more and giggled a bit.
"Hey you two, save the flirting for later, right now we have work to do" Harry sighed.
"Alright, alright, but you and Cho aren't much better" Ron smirked. Harry just shook his head and went back to thinking of ways to save Cho.
"We need something that will get us there without anyone knowing we're gone, like send some clones or something" Harry said to himself.
"Not clones" Ron and Hermione said together.
"I know I was only joking" Harry said.
They went on thinking well into the night, occasionally coming up with an idea and voicing it, only to have it shot down by Hermione's logical mind.
"What if we used light travel?" Ron suggested. "It's quick and can be set up within a matter of hours."
Hermione stared at Ron for second before slapping herself on the head.
"Ron that's genius!"
"It is?" Ron and Harry said in a surprised tone of voice.
"Yes it is! All we need is a couple ingredients and about three hours and we could be in Antarctica and back within five hours" Hermione said brightly. "But the only problem is we don't have the ingredients."
"That's easy" Harry said, and with a snap of his fingers a book appeared out of thin air and floated over to Hermione's place by the fire and lightly dropped onto her lap.
"What's this?" Hermione said curiously.
"It's a book of potions, just tap on the name of the ingredient with your wand and say out loud how much you need. You can also say the name of potion you need and it'll find the instructions and bring out the ingredients you need for it." Harry explained.
Hermione stared at the book for a second before quickly opening it and saying "Light Travel Potion."
The effect was instant. Just as the words left Hermione's mouth a glass jar, a small bag, and a box popped out of the book and landed softly in front of Hermione. Then the book changed into three pieces of parchment with words and pictures on them.
"Now THAT, is cool" Ron grinned.
"Agreed" Hermione nodded.
The next evening (luckily it was Saturday) after everyone was in bed, and after Harry, Ron, and Hermione climbed to the top of the Astronomy tower carrying three glasses and a large jar containing the Light Travel potion did the trio actually stop for a break.
"I thought we wouldn't have to climb this tower twice this year" panted Ron who was slumped down beside Hermione on the floor. "Just think, we only have to do this one other time and then we're done with this stupid tower for good."
"Let's hope so" Hermione sighed. Harry, who was the only not tired enough to actually collapse, was standing with the glasses and glowing jar containing the potion and looking at the weather conditions. It was a cold, moonless night with plenty of clouds to cover their trails.
"Alright you two, get up and take a glass, its time to go" Harry said. Ron stood up and pulled Hermione up with him. They each took a glass and Harry poured them a glassful of glowing green liquid, then poured himself a glass.
"Ready?" Harry asked. The couple nodded and held their glasses at the ready. "Alright, here goes." And all at once they downed the Light Travel potion.

A/N: Well, well, well, a chapter completed after months of working on it. Curse long term writers block. LOL, anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and yes I don't define what a Light Travel potion does, but that can be fixed.

Light Travel Potion
The Light Travel Potion is a potion made up of floo powder (the stuff in the bag), light powder (the stuff in the box) and, believe it or not, nitro-oxide (the stuff in the jar). When combined with water and simmered at the right temperature, it makes a glowing green substance, capable of making its drinker teleport to where ever the person desires at the speed of light, much like floo powder except floo powder can only teleport people of things to different fire places.
Each substance used in the potion is poisonous on its own, but when mixed can create one of the most useful potions in all of the wizarding world.
Back to A/N: That was part of something I'm writing called Tamar Blackflame's: Odd Things I Came Up with for Fanfics and Stories (obviously). Please R&R Everyone, and thank you to all who reviewed my fics when I wasn't writing for all those months. Peace and God Bless, I'll update ASAP.
