Phase One
Author Note: Am I Joanne Kathleen Rowling? Nope. It's not mine, then. Thank Merlin someone reviewed so I can get this rolling! So nut-tree (awesome name), this for you and hopefully others will follow you.
Michael: Where-what-who... where the devil are we?
Terry: We're all Ravenclaws, Michael. Surely one of us could figure it out.
Michael: Sorry Terry, but time with Cho has slowed my brain down.
Terry: *sighs*
Anthony: *sighs*
Michael: I know. Maybe I should just break up with her.
Anthony: You get to work on that. Meanwhile, WHERE THE BLAZES ARE WE?
Terry: Calm down, Anthony. Hmm... it appears to be a hidden room.
Michael: The DA room, by any chance?
Terry: Nooo... I'm not exactly where, but I can tell we're still in Hogwarts.
Anthony: I wonder how and why we turned up here.
Michael: Hang on, a note just appeared.
(AN: It's my, well... author note - ha - to the trio, that Michael's about to read)
Michael: To Mssrs Boot, Corner and Goldstein. I'm a fellow eagle and I have used my unseen powers to make you hosts in a Q & A session. Other Ravenclaws may come in if I see fit. I will be reasonable and keep you comfy, and supply many strawberries-
Terry: STRAWBERRIES!
Anthony: Terry, shush!
Terry: *gnashes teeth in temper*
Michael: Anyway... -and I assure you this will be a fun adventure. Witty Eagle Proud Ravenclaw.
Anthony: I wonder who's behind all this.
Terry: We may never know. But they have strawberries stocked for us, so I'm happy!
Michael: Holy-
Anthony: -Merlin!
Terry: Ha, here's some gold parchement. Oh, it's a question.
"'Mr. Terry Boot, could you be so kind as to do a mini 'this is your life' and tell me what you've been up to until now?' from nut-tree."
Michael: Hmph!
Anthony: *pouts also*
Terry: Oh gracious you two... anyway, I'm a half-blood, I've always been a firm believer in things working out if you believe from your brain, so Ravenclaw seemed like a sort of a natural placement when I got Sorted. I might have built a slight wall between my father and I because he's a chemist and yet I'm keen on astronomy. To be truthfully honest it's the only science I've only been interested in. Ergo, Astronomy has been my forte. I went stag to the Yule Ball - it was a bit depressing. But then Michael's date Mandy Brocklehurst offered me a dance, so it was OK. I click well with Charms - I can't wait until Flitwick teaches us the Protean Charm.
Anthony: *facepalms*
Michael: *groans*
Terry: And I... oh... *blushes*
Michael: I guess he's too embarassed to admit who he likes.
Anthony: We'll pester it out of him one of these days.
Terry: Oh no you won't.
Michael: I guess we better think of ways to defy this mysterious captor...
Anthony: It's no use Mike.
Michael: Your reason being?
Anthony: The note didn't say about us getting free.
Terry: Oh... blast.
Michael: Is that the best you can come up with?
*the trio spend the rest of the chapter thinking of favourite curse words of choice*
AN: I somehow see Terry's father being a chemist, don't ask me why. Terry's crush will be revealed later on, since I think that Terry and this particular person make one of the most adorable HP couples ever when paired up. Keep thinking of those questions (you can send more than one in when you write a review), and remember, it doesn't have to be just Anthony, Michael and Terry who you can ask - it's all explained in the prologue 'Curtain Raiser'. Terry's strawberry fetish is borrowed from TheWeaslette's story 'Strawberries'. I feel it would really fit his character.
