(Well, I wanted to be Holly, but Elycien got her already.  ) Violet Baudelaire looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, and saw a young boy speaking to a short figure. She ran up to him and asked, "What is going on? Why have we gone to London?" She fingered the hair ribbon in her pocket nervously. |

"Okay. You see-" Kyp noticed Violet, and sighed. "Another one? Okay, I'll only say this once, so listen up: There are portals between every universe. These portals usually only open up when the right mage uses them. However, in order to create chaos throughout the worlds, an evil force has opened all of the portals. Now people are spontaneously being moved to other universes. It's lucky all of us here can understand each other. What if, say, an Earth human was suddenly taken to the world of rabid bloodthirsty dragons? They would be killed, war would ensue- destruction of all sentient races as we know them. Not to mention innocent animals. I'm trying to stop this and set all the worlds back to normal with as little bloodshed as possible."

Appearing in London, Voldemort began to sneak down the streets, sticking to the shadows as planned. The group, he knew, was several blocks away. He could not yet see them, but he knew he was close.

Artemis glanced at Violet, then at Kyp. "Very well," he said. "From what I understand, this must be an alternate form of our own universe.. so Haven and Fowl Manor probably don't even exist. If we want to get back home, I suppose we will have to take your side in this battle."
Holly turned around, stiffening suddenly, but she saw nobody. "I was sure I heard something," she muttered.

Violet nodded. "I see. So how can I help set things straight? Perhaps I can invent something." She took out the hair ribbon and tied up her hair, keeping out of her eyes so she could think straight. "If only Klaus was here, he'd tell me all about these magical worlds and characters."

Voldemort was getting closer. Soon, he had them in his sights. He continued to keep to the shadows. He was so close to inflicting so much pain onto Kyp. (Okay, now can someone remind me what the curse for pain was, or do I have to read some of the book again?)
Harry was interested. "I'm not sure a muggle could be able to invent something that could help in returning us all into our worlds," he said, truthfully enough. "You might be able to invent something to help us defeat this evil... Oh, and muggle is a word people like me use for people who don't use magic. I didn't mean any offense by it."

(Sheesh, a Harry Potter fan can't remember the curses? ;D Only kidding you. It's Crucio.)
Kyp thought. "Well, if you're a good enough inventor, I could probably get you magical stuff that would help. Come on, we've got to go to my home. I need to see where this power is coming from."

(Well, I don't read the HP books as much as other people, but I'm still a pretty big fan of them. It's just the confusing Latin incantations.)
"Good idea," said Harry. "I-"
"CRUCIO!" Voldemort shrieked. The spell was aimed directly at Kyp's heart.

Kyp fell to the ground screaming, twitching and trying to get Voldemort to stop. Eventually she stopped twitching, but still was doubled up in pain.

Harry was shocked.
Meanwhile, Voldemort got an even better idea of torture. He cast Crucio one last time, but prepared to apparate.

Shocked, Holly hovered over to Kyp's side, and Artemis followed her. Butler stayed where he was, trying to figure out where the jet of light had come from. "What was that?"

"What happened?" Violet turned around to the fiasco behind her, one hand still on her ribbon. "Are you all right?" She bent over Kyp's side.
"He probably got hit by a Cruciatus Curse," came a voice behind her. The fifteen-year old inventor saw a boy, only slightly older than Artemis. It continued. "The Cruciatus Curse is one of the three Unforgivable Curses that can earn a person a life sentence in Azkaban, the wizarding prison. It is meant to cause utter pain, and with knowledge of this spell, you can torture anyone without the use of any other machines or devices."
Violet gasped. "Klaus? Klaus, thank goodness you're here. What can we do?"
"I don't know," he admitted. "There's probably a countercurse, but I've only read about these things. I'm not really a wizard."

From a distance, Opal Koboi studied the scene. While the others had gasped in horror when Kyp was struck with Voldemort's curse, Opal was delighted. Whatever this weapon was, she had to have it. Carefully she identified the source of the jet of light that had hit Kyp, and shielded to go over and investigate.
Koboi was a pixie, giving her the facial features and body structure of a human child, the only large difference being her pointed ears. But Opal was no child. She was evil and ruthless, and it showed in her merciless brown eyes.
The pixie brushed her long black hair out of her eyes as she investigated Voldemort. A human, which made things that much easier. She unshielded and looked straight into Voldemort's eyes. "Your will is mine," she said impressively, her voice layered thickly with the hypnotic mesmer - an ability which allowed any fairy to control the mind of another creature. They weren't allowed to use it on other fairies, but the use of it on humans was actually common. Unfortunately, not all fairies had good intentions.

"My will is-" Voldemort began, but then he snapped out of it. He quickly apparated out of the scene and back to the island. "Master," he said to the sky again. He hated to call this being his "Master". "I have another idea of torture for this witch."

Opal was deeply annoyed. The human must have had a stronger will than she had expected. She also wondered how he had vanished so fast. Perhaps he had shielded or something of that sort; but everyone knew humans couldn't shield. Koboi herself once again put on the shield and crept closer to the others, watching.
Artemis looked at Klaus, slightly annoyed that the boy had known something he didn't. But instead of turning to him, he looked at Holly. "Holly, if this is some kind of magic spell, what do you know about it? Even in your Book I never heard anything about it." He hated admitting that he had no knowledge of something, but it was true that neither he, Butler, or Holly had ever heard of the Cruciatus Curse.
Holly simply shook her head. "It's nothing I've ever seen used before," she said, worry in her voice. "Foaly? Did you get that?"
The centaur's voice came in through her earpiece, and Holly adjusted the speakers so that the others could hear. "I've never heard of it either," he said. "But it does sound dangerous. Imagine if Koboi got hold of something like that."
"Koboi's being held in Howler's Peak," said Holly quickly. "With the guard she's under, she won't escape again."
"I wouldn't put it past her," the centaur replied. In the LEP, Foaly was well-known for his paranoia and teased about it, but it was this part of his personality that had helped capture Koboi the last time.
