Oh wow, I completely forgot I even had an account here. Two years of not coming to this site tends to do that. Anyway I guess I'll continue, since I have nothing better to do. If you're reading this it means that I've worked out how to use this god-awful site layout, hooray for me.
PS his name is Robotnik, DR IVO ROBOTNIK. Shuck all that "Eggman" jive.
Chapter 2
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were in the library, near a window. The library was, so far, proving useless in the search for information on the giant jewel, but Hermione insisted that they stay, and search.
"Excuse me," said a small, polite voice. Harry turned, startled, and saw a enormous golden two-tailed fox-thing outside the window, flying by spinning its tails around. "Can I have that?" it said, pointing at the jewel.
"What?" said Harry, confused.
"The Chaos Emerald. The big glowing rock. Can I have it?" The creature flew in through the window and sat on the edge of the table. Now that it was closer, Harry could see that it was more like a small, fuzzy human than a fox, with gloves on its four-fingered hands, and bright red running shoes on its feet.
"Who are you?" asked Hermione.
"What are you?" added Ron.
"Why do you want it?" finished Harry.
"I'm Tails, I'm a fox, and I want it because I need it. And you'll probably get hurt if you don't give it up, anyway."
There was a pause. "Did we just get threatened by a stuffed animal?" asked Ron incredulously.
Tails glared at him. "I wasn't threatening you, I was just saying that if you won't give it to us, we'll have to take it. And if we don't take it, Robotnik will. And then you'll get hurt, maybe even killed."
"I'm pretty sure we can defend ourselves against a bunch of little animals. Thanks for worrying, though." Ron smirked, his voice thick with sarcasm.
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you." Tails said, just before jumping out the window. While Harry and Ron watched him fly away, Hermione tried to remember where she'd heard of Chaos Emeralds before.
Elsewhere, miles away from Hogwarts, a large screen lit up, showing pictures of the castle. An extremely large man, shaped like an egg with a huge moustache, smiled as he looked at it. "Found it." He whispered triumphantly.
"Didn't get it, little buddy?" Sonic didn't seem surprised as Tails returned empty-handed.
"They didn't believe me."
"Well that's alright, I'll go in and get it tonight."
"Stick to the plan, Sonic. We both go in." Knuckles was annoyed with his friend, as usual.
"Here's a better idea, Red: I'll race you. First one back here with the Emerald wins." Sonic grinned as he sped off into the forest, warming up for the night ahead.
