CHAPTER 1:
It had been two weeks now since Maddy came up with the idea to make the device to take us to the Harry Potter World.
All we had to show for it was over 20 "devices" that did absolutely nothing but look pretty. I was getting tired of this and knew I had to tell Maddy it had to end.
"Really Maddy, I don't think this will succeed. I mean I know this is very pretty sand, but that's it, pretty sand. I just don't think this will go anywhere." I mean sure she had done the research, but at the end of the day it was just sand, and sand did not have teleportal powers.
She gave me a look as if to say that it was my doubt that would cause it to fail, so yet again I just groaned (which seemed to be the norm now with Maddy) and nodded my head for us to continue.
"so, we have the Goldstone which is to help gain one's goals, you know we need that. I've also found the River Sand which is said to have the properties for moving on physically or mentally and I thought it was close enough for what we want. And lastly Jasper, apparently its used for astral travel, so at least if I can't be there physically I can be there in spirit, it would be good enough."
I was surprised I hadn't realised how much research she had done for this, and I could only imagine how she got all those different sands. I thought that since she had put so much work into this I had might as well humour her.
"Ok, tell me how will we combine these to make them work for what we require?" I was sure I had caught her now.
"we need a power source, or heat. If we can heat this sand up enough it will turn to glass, and then we shatter it. But we need to make it into that special glass where when it breaks it turns into a powder. Maybe if we use power, maybe an electrical current to shatter the glass the energy will cause the sand to react how we want. Then we must just be close enough that we get caught in the energy and ta da we are in Harry Potter heaven." She ended in an excited voice sure she had it all figured out this time. I thought to humour her, it was one of her better ideas.
"sure, but we need to find the power source. We will need a lot of it. Maybe we can go down to the garage and check for something. Or wait, your father works by the electrical plant, surely we can go there and figure something out." She was nodding her head along with me.
"Yes, they have that new machine, that one where you can stand inside a cage and the electrical currents bounce off the cage while you are inside. They use it to test the strength of the currents, I've been in it a few times, I will tell my father that I want to take you to try it. He will definitely agree."
