We don't own Harry Potter and Figure 17, and please Review
The morning of the time trials, Harry and Jamie was eating in the restaurant with Hermione, while at the same time; they were talking about the contest." So are you both ready for the time trials." Hermione asked, as she looked to the twins." I guess, since we had been practicing with the new snowboards a lot." Jamie informed Hermione." But I had wished they had let us practice on the actual course." Harry complained, since the officials wouldn't allow anyone near the contest courses, accept to have a closer look at them." I know, but from what you saw of the course, how are you going threw it?" Jamie asked." Most likely I will either dodge the obstacles, or snowboard straight threw the parts without anything in my way." Harry said, then after a thought." But still, there is two unavoidable areas, one is in the center of the course, is split into two trails, on goes to an underground cave, which ends in a short jump, and the other trail has a tall cliff, which we must try to land without crashing, if we try to go over it." Harry informed his friends." The other one is of course the last part of the course, which is a higher cliff, and the most difficult part of the course to do." Harry finished, making Hermione flinched." I wish you wouldn't be so calm about it, I still think you both are nuts to even try to jump that cliff." Hermione said, as she shook her head at the twins, courage to try this course." Don't worry too much, we will be alright, since the officials will have plans for all sort of emergencies." Jamie informed Hermione, just as an announcement sounded on the loud speaker interrupted their talks." All contestants, for the time trials, please meet at your assigned post in the next hour, and also anyone who miss the time trials, will be disqualified from the contest." The voice warned, and the twins looked to each other." We better get a head start, and Hermione, see you at the bottom of the course." Harry suggested, and with a quick goodbye, the twins left for the time trials.
Just under an hour later, Harry and Jamie were already at their assign post, which was the lift that takes the snowboarders directly to the start of the course." Alright everyone, please listen up!" An announcer called threw a microphone, while in the front of the line." This part of the contest is first come first served, so please wait patiently, till it is your turn, and also, this is how we are doing this, every ten minutes, I will allow one up on the lift, so it will give the one who went before, time to get as far ahead as possible on the course" The announcer said, and put down the microphone, to talk to the first in line.
Once the announcer addressed the crowd, he turned to the first ones in line." What is your name sir?" The announcer asked, and both marked down the person's name on the clipboard, and at the same time, used a radio to speak to someone up on the top of the course.
Thirty minutes later, the announcer came up to Harry." Mr. Potter, I glad to see you have made it, and I wish you luck in passing this course." The announcer greeted, instead of asking for Harry's name, and then sent him up on the lift.
On the top of the course, Harry saw the person before him disappear halfway down the hill, as guy in security clothes greeted Harry." Mr. Potter, please get on your snowboard, and get ready for my signal to jump off." The guard sternly said, and Harry quickly oblige.
Within five minutes, Harry was holding on to a couple of thick poles, waiting for his signal, which luckily he didn't need to wait long." Next up, is Harry Potter, one of two youngest boarders, in this contest." An announcer said, and Harry was giving the signal to jump off by the guard, which he did.
The first part of the course was the half pipe, but since this was a time trial, Harry sped threw it so fast, he didn't get to see it clearly.
The next part of the course was the ramps and rails, which unfortunately for Harry had to either, serve around or jump the ramps, if he was too late to dodge them.
After the ramps and rails, Harry saw the fork in the trail, and quickly took the cliff jump, which he jumped, and perfectly landed far from cliff.
Once Harry landed, he was in the obstacle course, and was quickly serving around cars, trucks, small houses, trees, and even outhouses, that was scattered about, at deferent parts of the course.
After the obstacle course, Harry was in a wooded trail, and soon saw the ramp that he needed to use to jump the last part of the course.
Once Harry saw the ramp, he gulped, as he jumped it, and saw that the ground was far bellow him, but kept his cool, as waited till the ground became clearer, he prepared himself, as his board touch ground, and to his relief, he was gliding towards the finished line, which he quickly braked, as soon as he cross the red line.
As Harry cross the line, snow was flung from his quick breaking, and luckily no one was in rage of the snow, as Harry stopped just ten feet from a wall, that was at the end of the course.
Once Harry had stopped, he removed the snowboard, and headed to the side, to where Hermione was waiting." WOW, that was incredible, but look there is Jamie." Hermione excitedly informed, and Harry noticed a large TV screen, showing the boarders, and saw Jamie being shot out of the tunnel." Harry, I think she might beat your time, since she is going faster then you went." Hermione said, as they watch Jamie dodging the obstacle course." You are right, Jamie will probably will?" Harry said, as Jamie seemed to zig-zag around the obstacles, without slowing down." I have been wondering if Jamie was using magic." Hermione asked, as Harry shook his head." A promise is a promise, and we did say we wouldn't use magic, and I know Jamie will never break a promise." Harry informed Hermione, and she accepted it." But still, what you and Jamie did is unbelievable." Hermione said, as they watch Jamie jumped the high cliff, and land just pass the finished line, just stopping short at the wall.
By the end of the day, the twins was waiting for their results, since the judges wouldn't tell anyone their time, till the last snowboarder had gone threw the time trials, and unfortunately, when the times was sent out, two snowboarders whom had been using racing type snowboards, had beaten the twins time by seconds, and luckily the twins times was enough for Jamie to be third, and Harry was forth place.
