The Legacy

"Perhaps one day mankind will see

the error of it's ways,

and in it's future glimpse

reflections of our yesterdays."

Chapter 8: Necrophiliacanthropophagus Maniac

-------------------------------

Now there were four. Harry, Ron, Black Wizards and Squishy the Screaming Tomato. Harry grew quite fond of Squishy. He constantly talked about him with Ron saying how he's the second most talented individual in the group.

"Second most talented individual in the group"? Ron exclaimed. "First of all he's a bloody tomato. Secondly, what about the Black Wizards bloke? He looks pretty talented and stuff".

"Hush Ron!" Shouted Harry. "You're just jealous. I understand that you envy Squishy's talents, but there's no reason to be racist".

"I'm not bloody racist! He's a tomato!" Ron replied.

"Yes! He is a tomato. A sentient tomato, with feelings and dreams like me and maybe you – with plans and ambitions – if you tickle him he'll laugh, if you scratch him he'll bleed."

"Well at least I can cast spells and stuff. What good is he?" Ron said certain now that he has convinced Harry of his point.

"He can scream louder than the Gods themselves!" Harry said with pride for his companion.

Ron dropped the subject.

The next day the four companions were out and about their daily business. Black Wizards was working at the ministry, Ron and Harry were in class and Screaming Squishy was busy looking for another sentient tomato. He found one but he was annoying so he through him into someone's salad bowl and sat back and enjoyed the screams of pain and torment as his flesh (or tomato skin) was ripped apart by the hungry human teeth of a deaf boy, who obviously couldn't hear his cries for help. Imagine the most horrible fear and pain ever – this was worse.

Harry looked at his watch. It was a magic watch. It could juggle and make toast. It could also tell the exact time of the moment, give or take ten minutes. The watch suggested that it was nearly lunchtime. "Thank you" Harry told the watch. Almost immediately, Professor Flitvick ended his lesson. "You may go have lunch now." No one moved. They couldn't hear him because he was too small to make any sense. All they could hear were squeaking sounds and they nodded and smiled out of respect so that they would not offend him. "YOU MAY GO HAVE LUNCH NOW!" Flitvick shouted. Everyone tried very hard to understand him. "PISS OFF TO LUNCH!" He said using a megaphone. Everyone nodded and left.

"Interesting lesson" Harry commented.

"It was crap," replied Ron, but we all know that he was going to say that really. Because Ron is not satisfied with anything and he should really do something about his attitude otherwise he'll never get laid. Personally, I'd advise him to see a psychologist but they don't exist in the wizarding world. It never used to be that way. Psychology used to be a huge topic of study and practice until a better more efficient practice was found: Scientology. But then people's ears started to bleed from the sheer amount of bullshit going through them and so they just dropped the whole subject. Nowadays if you are a wizard with any psychological instabilities all you can do is live the rest of your life as a psychopath. Ron does. Enough about Ron.

Suddenly… there was a brilliant blue light that surrounded Ron and Harry. Their surroundings blurred and slowly disappeared as they realize that they have been teleported into a prison in an unknown far off location. They both stood shocked gazing around them… in shock! Seconds later there was another blue light and Screaming Squishy and Black Wizards were also teleported into the prison!

Black Wizards: "Harry, Ron!"

Harry: "Squishy, Black Wizards!"

Squishy: "Ron, Harry!"

Ron: "Black Wizards, Squishy!"

"Oh, Black Wizards, meet Squishy the Screaming Tomato. Squishy, meet Black Wizards." Harry said calmly.

"Nice to meet you." Black Wizards and Squishy said to each other with a smile while shaking hands.

"Now, what is going on?" said Harry.

Suddenly… they could hear laughter… an evil laughter as a wizard teleported outside the cage. "I have caught you all! You are no match for… Shagrath the Turquoise!".

"So we finally meet again Shagrath!" said Black Wizards. "I thought I had gotten rid of you for good. Yet you appear in front of me as the thorn in my side you once were."

"Be silent mortal! You knew you could not hold me in your special cell for long! I am shadow itself, I exist in the dark plane of darkness – I cannot be confined. And here you stand in front of me as my prisoner, in a cell made of glass that cannot be shattered by physical or magical damage! You cannot escape. Voldemort will reward me greatly… yes… he will be so pleased… WAKE UP!"

The party jumped from their slumber. They fell asleep during Shagrath's monologue . "Did you hear a word I said?" complained Shagrath the Turquoise.

Everyone shook their heads, implying an answer of a negative nature.

"I said: The glass prison cannot be shattered by physical or magical damage! OK?"

"OK" Everyone replied as Shagrath teleported away.

"Who is he?" Harry asked.

"An evil wizard whose power would rival Voldemorts if not for a mistake he made a while ago. He studied the ancient magics of the elements and substance. An alchemy accident removed his ability to cast magic, but his knowledge of the elements is still strong and he can now slip between this world and the world of shadow. He also has straight black hair that covers one eye and is in a band which supported Avril Lavigne and Blink 182 in their 2003 tour. If he made this cage, then it is as he says – unbreakable!"

"Unaffected by physical force and magic. Said Ron. Which means that it can be affected by something not physical or magical… like sound!"

"My god, the little shit is right!" Shouted Harry. But how are we going to produce a scream so loud and high in pitch that would break these here bars yonder from your shoulder over there behind you and other "ye olde English" stuff?"

Ron smiled and turned to give the answer. "Well, we have Squi…"

"Harry is right!" interrupted Squishy the SCREAMING Tomato. How will we produce a hi intensity shriek so loud that will destroy these unbreakable bars?"

Ron replied, "Well Squishy, y…"

"It's impossible to produce such loud SCREAMING sounds!" interrupted Black Wizards. "It cannot be done."

"I have an idea!" said Harry. "We can all scream together. It's worth a try. On the count of three…"

"Wait!" shouted Black Wizards. "One of us should not scream but stand guard in case he sees someone. So only three of us should scream."

"Great idea!" said Harry. He turned towards Squishy the SCREAMING Tomato. "You stand guard" Harry commanded.

Ron threw his hands down in despair.

"One, Two, Three… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Nothing happened.

"We are trapped in here forever!" said Squishy the Screaming Tomato as he shed a tear.

"There is a chance!" said Ron. "What if we let Squish…."

"No chance of survival at all is there Squishy the Super Loud Screaming Tomato?" interrupted Harry.

"Nope. None. It almost makes me feel like screaming a loud high pitch in despair - yet my sorrow holds me back as it would serve no purpose." Replied Squishy the extra-loud Screaming Tomato.

"For shits sake!" said Ron. "Listen to me everyone, Squi…"

"Shut up Ron! I'm trying to think!" exclaimed Black Wizards. "You're right Harry. This kid is truly an annoying little shit."

Harry and Squishy nodded in agreement.

Just then…. A muggle jet plane broke the speed of sound and produced a sonic boom that broke the glass prison to bits. "Yay! We are free! Harry said with joy.

Black Wizards teleported everyone back to Hogwarts. BW started chatting. "Thank heaven for that muggle contraption or we'd be enslaved in that cage forever. From now on, we must be careful not to get stuck in a cage like that again. We might not be so lucky next time. Also, next time Ron, shut your fat gob and let us think!".

"Yeah Ron you twat!" Harry and Squishy said together. They looked at each other and smiled. They held hands and skipped into the sunset. Ron turned the other way. His left eye twitched while the other was wide open. An unintentional grin slipped unto his face…
