Fun Excerpts from the Never Ending Story

As Professor Malfoy and the new Marauders ran to HMInez's office, they met a tall blond guy who seemed vaguely familiar. The Marauders stopped in their tracks.

"I know you!" said Bill. "Orlando Bloom???"

"That's me. Have you seen Professor Frances?"

Professor Malfoy exchanged a look with Charlie.

"Errrr.... yes. Come on, follow me." Charlie winked at Professor Malfoy and lead Orlando down the hall. Minutes later...

"Alright. That's taken cared of," said Charlie with a satisfied grin.

"What did you do?" asked Bill.

"Well, I led him into one of the broom closets. But I think one of the brooms was a portkey. I don't know where he went."

"Charlie, you're a genius. Let's go."


===

"I was saying you are an incompetent fool stuck in a backwater wizarding school." (smirk, smirk, sneer)

"At least I have the position I want and I enjoy my job. Do you?"

"Stop taking a stab at *my* position," Snape said, whipping out his wand.

"Oh lookie here. Snape is affected. Oooh," Anakin taunted, also whipping out his wand.

Without warning, Snape shouted "Expelliarmus!" and at the same time, Professor Malfoy shouted "Protego!".

"Impressive...." said Snape, taking a firmer hold on his wand.

"But of course. You can expect nothing else from me."


===

Orlando went out of the Room of Requirement, leaving everyone either drooling or still dancing, and walked the halls of Hogwarts Philippines. He unfortunately wandered near the Headmistresses' Office just then and what do you know....

"What are you doing here?" asked Charlie Weasley incredulously, knowing the actor should have been in Kenya.

"I dunno. The last thing I remember was that I was in this weird place, then another guy appeared, cursing and cursing. He was weird. I swear, that guy should shampoo his hair. I mean, come on, look at *my* hair. I'm still the prettiest elf in all of...."

"Kenya," Bill finished, casting another spell to send the actor back to Kenya. "Severus could use some company. And some hair tips."


===

All this time, Professor Skywalker was staring at Bill Weasley, starstruck.

"Oi, di naman niya kamukha si Hayden ah, why are you staring at him?"

Professor Skywalker continued to stare.

"Prof. Sky!" Anakin shouted.

"Oh! Sorry. You were saying?" she answered, quite dazed.

"Duh. Let's just get going, okay? The portkey will get activated any minute," the Dark Arts professor said exasperatedly.

"Hold on, guys," said Bill.

"What is it now?"

"I just have a good luck present for the good professor," he said, with a wink, and handed Professor Skywalker a single red tulip with a flourish.

"Awwww... that's so sweet. Thanks," she said, blushing.


===

Out in one of the corridors of the castle, Orlando Bloom was still wandering the halls, when he suddenly met Dobby.

"Ah! Another pointy-eared creature!" he cried happily, as he tried to engage the house elf in conversation.

Dobby looked at the actor and decided he looked too much like his former master, Lucius Malfoy, and started to walk away.

"Hey, wait!" said Orlando, walking after Dobby. "I just want to talk to you."


===

The guards fired at the two professors, laser fire ricocheting across the hangar from all directions. In the middle of this, Professor Skywalker was dodging their fire, and at every possible opportunity, using the Force to grab their blasters away from them; or in instances, cursing them with “EXPELLIARMUS!”. Slowly, she made her way towards a sleek, silver starship with Parvati Patil.

Off to the other side of the hangar, Professor Malfoy was aggressively battling the other guards, using his two lightsabers to block enemy fire, all the while jumping over one side of the room to the other.

However, a familiar, yet dreaded sound filled the room.

“Droidekas!” mumbles Anakin, as he tried to fight his way towards the ship, barely escaping the rapid fire brought about by about a dozen Destroyer Droids. Unfortunately for him, the way was blocked by debris. Outnumbered and outmatched, the only thing he could do at the moment was block the laser fire with his sabers, to do anything else would be suicide.

Just then, one by one, the droidekas exploded in a flash of light, as Professor Skywalker, blaster in hand, shot the droidekas at their weakest points, behind their back.

“Hey,” shouted Prof. Skywalker. “If you wanna stay here and play hero, go ahead. But I plan to see the HeadBall dance.”


===

“Enemy fighters, at point three-three-oh-two...”, Prof. Skywalker announced.

“I don’t think this bucket of bolts has any weapons. You girls better strap down; it’ll just be like Boonta Eve Classic back home...”

All of a sudden, the starship lurched, as Anakin did some fancy maneuvers, looping around enemy starfighters, and dodging unfriendly fire. In a few moments, Professor Malfoy got their coordinates from the navicomputer, engaged the hyperdrive, and they we’re off back home.

In the midst off all that, Professor Skywalker softly mumbled:

“please don’t do that again...”


===

Bill Weasley was restless. After hearing of Anakin Malfoy's accident on Naboo and the fact that he still hadn't regained consciousness, he became very worried for his friend. And yet he started thinking of Prof. Skywalker. What happened on Naboo? She suddenly became very distant, not paying attention to him much, not even when he left more flowers in her office, with an invitation to meet him for dinner. She never showed up.

He decided to walk to the hospital wing to check on Anakin. As he rounded one corner, he thought he saw a figure wearing a white helmet run down one of the moving stairs. But there was nothing there when he looked again. The figure seemed vaguely familiar. But he thought it just might be the effect of thinking about Prof. Skywalker too much, or too much of those chocolate eclairs during dinner.


===

The Head Ball Head Boy couldn't sleep. He knew he should be getting some rest from all that dancing, but he felt weird. Like something changed in him during the past hours. He felt certain presences he hadn't felt for a long time. But he attributed all that to the fact that he might be experiencing some dancing overdose. He decided he'll choreograph the Gryffindor's Welcome Party presentation since he couldn't sleep. He stood up and started dancing the night away.
