As you may recall in an earlier post I had been having trouble getting back into writing as I hadn't written anything for nearly a year. So I decided I'd write something fun like fan fiction and so had an idea for a Harry Potter sequel.
To get my creative juices flowing I've written the start to it which I will share below along with the synopsis although must stress I'm naughty as only watched the films and read first book but think around Christmas will read the whole series (maybe not the screenplay).
So if you like it and the synopsis would you want me to finish it? Let me know in the comments and apologies to JK Rowling for butchering your world. X
Harry Potter and the Demon Box
1
Sally Henshaw was bored. Really bored. The same bored she felt every day in the slow traffic of London as the bus stopped and started nearly every minute on her journey home from school.
Sat on the top deck she sighed as she looked out into the gloomy streets below. The hussle and bussle of people rushing around and the constant roars of engines and beeps from cars and the traffic tried to crawl along at a snails pace.
Sally looked to her Mum sat next to her. Her face aglow from the mobile screen as she flicked through posts on Facebook.
‘Mum I’m bored,’ she moaned.
Without looking up came her Mums reply ‘Be with you in a minute just got to comment on this. Oh it’s bangers and mash for tea.’
Sally scrunched up her face in disgust as it was the third time this week they had had that tea and she wasn’t keen on the sausages as they were cheap tasteless ones. Sally also knew her Mum would be stuck on the phone till journeys end.
The bus pulled up in traffic and Sally looked out at an old ripped billboard. The advert was for a film that had been out years. She blew on the glass and made a dog shape with her fingers. Wiping it away she noticed something funny happening to the billboard.
The billboard looked to be blinking and shimmering as did the wall it was on. For a few moments both disappeared completely. Sally was stunned to see a wide alley behind, the size of a small street with old fashioned and odd shaped shops and houses.
The few people on the alley were dressed weirdly old and in black. A few owls flew around it. Near to where the bus was a couple chatted in the alley both dressed in black. The man had a hooded cape and wild frizzy hair. The woman was old with a pointy hat.
Sally chuckled as she thought she looked like a witch and waved at them wildly. Catching the couples attention she smiled as their faces looked horrified and puzzled at the same time. They both pulled out black pointy sticks and waved them towards the bus.
Sally was scared at this and turned to her mum pulling on her arm wildly.
‘Mum look there’s witches and a funny street and owls,’
‘Yes dear,’ her Mum replied wearily and looked up. ‘Where Sally?’
Sally turned back round to the window and there was the wall and billboard looking as they did before. The bus moved forward in traffic a few feet.
Sally slumped back in her seat in wonder. Had she imagined the strange alley and people or was it real. It felt very real to her.
Later that night Sally Henshaw had the most fantastic dreams of witches and magic she had ever had.
Harry Potter and the Demon Box synopsis
Magic is failing. Diagan Alley is becoming seen by muggles. Platform nine and three quarters has lost its link to Hogwarts station and magic of all kinds keeps going wrong.
Sometimes simple spells don’t work and sometimes big magic fails. This includes the flying of broomsticks which means the world Quidditch tournament is cancelled. Worst still the magical animals like the ones in Hogwarts forbidden forest are dying.
Harry Potter and the Ministry of Magic find out it is the cause of a long forgotten artefact called the Demon Box. They realise twenty years ago Voldermort set off the box which began slowly sucking in magic from the world as a back up plan. In his arrogance Voldermort believed he would be victorious and defeat Harry and his allies then close the box but he was wrong.
Realising the only person who can switch the box off and shut it is Voldermort, Harry must spirit travel to the underworld before it’s too late and get Voldermort to tell him how to switch it off.
Voldermort tricks Harry and escapes the Underworld searching out his number one disciple who has kept his body. (Think Insidious). Because it’s been twenty years even with magic his body is decaying and because magic is failing when Voldermorts spirit joins with his body iit goes wrong and he becomes distorted with a melting face and bent over. (Think Brundlefly from The Fly).
Voldermort goes to Hogwarts where he hid the box killing a few old professors including Hagrid and the school children including Harry’s go into hiding in the forest where they tend the dying magical beasts.
In the meantime Harrys spirit has to complete tests set by the keeper of the Underworld which he just passes and returns to his body and races off to Hogwarts with his friends for a final battle with Voldermort.
Harry wins Voldermort but there are costs including Ron losing an arm and Hermonie sacrificing her magic to close the Demon Box making her a whole muggle.
Magic is slowly restored – end.
