text: On a dark and rainy night, the ancient 1980's Panel van, streaked down a narrow stoned walled road. The wheels juddered on the uneven badly maintained surface. "If we hurry we might- just- make it." said Fred concentrating hard. “Slow down Fred! It’s not safe! said Daphne. “We don’t want to be late for the Christmas Party”. said Fred. “Ristmas Party?!” said Scooby Doo waking up. “You betcha” said Fred. "I got a call on my iPhone, a couple of hours ago when you were sleeping - should be some real groovy music, and great food! “Rime rI'm Sold!” said Scooby Flashing red lights were on the ground ahead. “That’s strange” said Velma, what are flashing lights doing on the ground?” “RAILWAY CROSSING LIGHTS!” Said Shaggy- “they’ve been knocked over!” “And that means...” said Fred apprehensively - and while breaking heavily... “A TRAIN!” shouted Daphne. The van drifted to the right and then span out of control - looking like it was going to miss the back of the train altogether - however it struck the side of a stone wall and smashed into the side of the caboose, coming to an unlikely stop embedded firmly inside the speeding caboose. “Looks like we’re going to be REALLY late now said Daphne, - “the main act was supposed to start playing in 10 minutes. “I think we have bigger things to worry about” said Fred as he turned off the van’s engine as its wheels spun uselessly, suspended by ancient train wreckage. “Let’s get out of here!” said Shaggy - “I think this place is about to fall apart!” The whole gang quickly got out of the van and entered the adjoining carriage. As Velma closed the door behind them the mangled wreckage of the caboose and the mystery machine behind them twisted off the track and exploded in a fire ball of petrol and strangely magical effects. “I’m gonna miss that van” said Fred sadly. The Storage Carriage: Using her torch Daphne found a strange toggle switch on the wall which lit what appeared to be a green gas lamp in the middle of the carriage. This carriage seemed to be a storeroom for many strange products. Shelves of what appeared to be novelty jumping chocolate frogs jittered in their packets, brown cardboard boxes filled with multi coloured jelly beans lined one wall. “This is not so bad” said scraggy, opening a packet of jelly beans “Mmm Relly Reans” said Scooby eating some beans. Then suddenly both Scooby and shaggy stopped eating- their faces started turning green. “Zoinks! - some of those beans don’t taste to good Scooby!” “Rorrible” said Scooby - quickly scraping at is tongue with his paws. “I don’t think they make jelly beans here like they do at home” said shaggy “those last ones tasted like EARWAX!” Scooby turned around knocking over packets of chocolate frogs with his tail - they hopped around the small space. “Jinkies!” said Daphne - Let’s get out of here” “I agree” said Fred as a chocolate frog threatened to climb up his left nostril- Into the next carriage! The gang rushed into the next carriage surprising the sitting passengers. “The passengers were first surprised and suspicious”. “Who are you” said a young boy with bleached white hair. “Don’t you know it’s dangerous to disapperate inside a train?” “Risaperate?” said Scooby “And magical talking creatures should be locked in the caboose” - said the white haired boy “Wait... WHERE ARE YOUR WANDS!?” he shouted - pointing a wand at them. “Sorry” said Fred “we don’t have wands we’re not part of your Halloween party” “MUGGLES!” said the white haired boy. “I thought I could smell their foul stench!” “Really?” said Velma screwing up her nose- “this carriage is full of teenage boys and you think we smell?” “Yes”, said Daphne “ That’s not very nice, we’ve just been in a horrible car accident, and why are you being so mean to us, - who are you anyway?” A cruel smile slowly spread over the face of the white haired boy, which was copied in the faces of his surrounding passengers. He spoke slowly and arrogantly - “My - name is Draco Malfoy- and this will be the. Last. Thing. You. Ever. See” He pointed a wand at the gang and shouted “CRUCIO!” A bright red flash exploded from the wand passing closely over Fred’s shoulder. “Zoinks!” said Scooby and Shaggy together as they rushed out of the door into the next carriage. They fell over each other and ended up on a heap on the floor. “WHAT’s GOING ON HERE?!” said a girl with long curly hair. “We’re taking care of some of your Mud Blood friends” snarled Draco Malfoy. “Go and sit down Malfoy before I unleash a spell that makes eyes explode - I’ve just been studying it” said the girl slowly and darkly”. “You can have them” snarled Draco - “Just keep the door closed to keep the smell in.” The girl raised her wand and Draco slammed the door shut quickly. “Thanks for that” said Daphne “that kid looked dangerous!” “Don’t worry about him” said the girl tossing her hair - “We’ll look after you” “My name is Hermione - and this is Harry and Ron” “Good to meet” you said Fred - “Regsactly” said Scooby who was hugging shaggy as they shook with fear” Ron held out a packet of Jelly beans politely - “Jelly Bean?” Shaggy and Scooby’s faces both turned green - “Ro tanks” said Scooby “I don’t think those agree with us!” said Shaggy. “Suit yourself” shrugged Ron eating a black bean. Harry was looking at the ground looking worried. “I suppose you’ve heard of me - I’m Harry Potter- my parents were killed by Voldemort” he said sadly. “Roldermort?” said Scooby “Voldemort” corrected Harry” “Ah Rolldermort” said Scooby” “No that’s Voldemort not ROLdemort” said Hermione. Fred looked confused “Let’s just call him ‘the guy we can’t name'” “Funny you should say that” began Ron... Suddenly the train whistle blew and the train braked slowly - “We’ve arrived” said Hermione - “you can come with us - but hurry! We can’t be late!” Harry, Ron and Hermione left the train followed by the gang. “These are all kids!” said Shaggy “I think we’re crashed a school train!” “Perhaps we can get some help from the school” said Velma as they followed Hermione. “This place isn’t even listed on my google maps- perhaps I need to update my phone” said Velma. “Wi-Fi is REALLY weak here too” said Daphne sadly Daphne looked up from her phone and saw the words “Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry” on an ancient looking sign. “Ew” said Daphne and tweeted: “Crashed Car and now at Hogwarts.
