Due to a very very small
increase in cyberspace elsewhere of Harry Potter based followers. I feel I need
to write another short alternative tale of Hogwarts for these rather
specialized punters. As they say in the docks of Tiger
Bay , on the road to Mandalay
from Bombay to
Santa Fé, o'er the hills and far away . . .
A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. . . If you are not a fan of Harry Potter, it's OK because the link is a little tenuous.
All the young wizards at
Hogwarts were getting rather excited as it was the day of the Christmas Coach
trip to somewhere exciting. Well that is not always as easy at it might first
appear because these are wizards and they tend to have a slightly more
interesting life than most. What with all that flying about on broomsticks and
hunting dragons and the like in the magic forest and the various other
activities they get up to with frogs, snakes and owls.
As they all climbed aboard
the coaches the young wizards all muttered and complained and said why can’t we
just fly there on magic carpets like last year it was much more fun. But the
headmaster Harry Potter explained that Jurassic World was in fact a muggle
attraction and they had to behave and abide by the rules of engagement when
mingling with the muggle masses. And
anyway Professor Franklin F F Frankenzompires Jurassic World might be a muggle attraction
but Professor Frankenzompire was well and truly old school wizard (very old
school) and would be rather annoyed if anyone started waving their wands about
in public; to which several young wizards sniggered.
After what seemed like no
time at all (I suspect there may have been a bit of magic going on) the convoy
of old coaches arrived in the huge coach park of the Jurassic World complex
where the young wizards immediately headed off to buy Pterodactyl Burgers and
Chipiasaur Fries all covered in Cretaceous Sauce (YUM) . . .
As Harry and his daughter,
Lily Luna wandered round the various
sights, Harry insisting that dinosaurs are not good pets and are rubbish at
doing tricks, even simple ones like balancing chickens on their heads, they
noticed a large flock of flamingos. As
they did so a voice behind them said
O god it Must be that Girl again I recognise all those flamingos, it
must be Alice
and Higgs and probably that stupid White Rabbit I bet. . . . . The voice of course was that of Hermione.
But before Harry could
respond another voice could be heard that drew Harry’s attention to something
else.
Headmaster
sir sir sir sir sir its Harrison Ford-Cortina
sir sir sir he has sort of had a bit of an accident sir.
As Harry looks off into
the distance he can see a huge crowd rushing towards him and behind that is
Harrison Ford-Cortina only he is not his normal self, he is looking a little
more like a Tyrannosaurus Rex than he did when he got on the coach this morning.
AH DAMN says Harry
WOW
DAD can I have Harrison Ford-Cortina As a Pet says Lily Luna HE’S COOL.
Well
Master Higgs the White Rabbit did say it would be fun to turn up here and see
what was going to happen, I DON'T think anyone or anything has eaten anything
or anyone yet
said Alice who along with Young Higgs and the White Rabbit were standing on the
roof of the monorail stop to avoid the stampeding crowd as it headed towards
the main exit.
HELLO HARRY shouted Young
Higgs at Harry who was now hiding behind a large fibreglass Ichthyopterygia
along with Lily Luna, Hermione and several young wizard pupils as they attempt
to avoid screaming muggles as they panic.
Then as it gets quieter
and the panicked crowd vanishes off into the distance and Harrison Ford-Cortina
growls at Harry Potter in an attempt to explain it was nothing to do with him. The
tall and terrifying image of a mad demonic Wizard appears out of a large cloud
of wizardly cloudy stuff; it is none other than the awesome and imposing
spectacle of Professor Franklin F F Frankenzompire himself, looking a little
deranged and annoyed.

I have vacation a few times in La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís, New Mexico (aka Santa Fe).
ReplyDeleteI think I used to know (briefly) someone whose name was veRy close to Frankenzompire. And by close I meant his name was a little farther down the page of the phone.

I nicked that line with Santa Fe in from Ian Dury and the blockheads. . . Hit me with your Rhythm Stick. . . .
DeleteFrankenzompire appeared to be the only variation that did not come up on a Google search at the time when hunting for a sort of Mad Professor, Zombie Vampire name option. It comes up quite a lot now but mainly in connection with my blog. Being original is DAMN hard.
Hah, I find you rather routinely original, and please understand that is a compliment.
DeleteI understand Mr ESB I think I am happier being routinely original than originally routine.
DeleteI dont think I will think about that any longer I'm now confused . . .
I should make a shirt that has:
DeleteNOW I WON
When people ask me what it means I wiLL look at it and say, "On, no, I printed it backwards."
Ooooo that was clever.
DeleteFor some reason I didn't see these posts when you first did them. They only showed up today (the 10th) I have a lot of catching up to do!
