The Witch Queen of Avalon
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
PROLOGUE
Witches and wizards were glued to their LIVE WIRES across the Avalon City for news, any news on the strange brave girl who had challenged the Witch Queen. Those without their own Live Wire, crowded into homes that had it, gathered around store fronts that sold it, or into bars and restaurants that might have one that broadcast Quidditch, Spharx or dueling matches.
The AVN logo flashed across every screen in the city. With the exception of old man Willowfobble who preferred watching old Gorb and Greeple cartoons.
"Breaking News." Morgana Moonshadow’s toad like smug smile broke onto the screen. "We take you live inside the palace where our Glorious Witch Queen has graciously granted AVN snitch-cam's the chance to accompany her to prove that the upstart challenger is being well looked after as the trial is organized and as she, for the first time since that horrible day five days ago, confronts Sasporilla Bucket!"
Three separate golden snitches, fitted with small eyes on their fronts, flew around the Witch queen at a comfortable distance. Each one broadcasting a different angle back to AVN. The Witch Queen walked down a long hall way to a large door.
"As you can see." The Witch Queen said. "We are in the East wing of the palace, not in a dungeon. This is an area reserved for important guests. Ms.Bucket has a suite of rooms, though her door is locked."
The Witch Queen touched her wand to the door knob and saw it move from one side of the door to the other. With a twist it opened.
Sasporilla Bucket stood in the open door way wand in hand.
"The people want to see that you are being treated well." The Witch Queen said.
"I demand you free the people turned to stone in the court yard!" Sasporilla snapped looking past the Witch Queen at the camera.
"You DEMA...." the Witch Queen began to flare but then remembered the cameras. This girl was crafty. "I am nothing if not generous, forgiving and magnanimous! I will reverse the spell for those in the court yard and free the people."
"Thank you." Sasporilla said relieved.
"All but those who called themselves the KNIGHTS OF THE TABLE ROUND!" The Witch Queen smiled. "I will place them in the dungeons and make them your motivation of sorts."
"What do you mean?" Sasporilla asked.
"Well isn't it obvious?" The Witch Queen grinned evilly. "If you win the Trials and become Witch Queen you may pardon and free them as you like. If you fail and I remain Witch Queen... well then. They are mine to do with as I like, aren't they? I feel that's more than a fair offer."
"DEPULSO!" Sasporilla cast but the spell hit the shield spell in the door way and rebounded knocking herself back across the room.
"Now, now girl! That's unsportsman like." The Witch Queen said. "But that's the Spirit!!! You see it doesn't matter how you win the Witch Queen Trials, just that you WIN!!! There really are no rules. No one seems to understand this. But as you and your friends seem to think the trials should have rules of conduct and morality... you can be absolutely sure your trials will have them, Sasporilla Bucket!"
The Witch Queen waved her wand slamming the guest room door and moving the door handle back to the other side.
"Now be gone." The Witch Queen said waving her hand at the snitch cams that flew away cutting back to Morgana Moonshadow.
"You saw it here exclusively on AVN...." The miserable old witch began as Corina changed the channel to Witches Cooking Network.
"Poor Sasporilla." Kathleen said. "I wish we could do something to help her."
"I can't believe she challenged the Witch Queen!" Christin said.
"I can't believe she was Queen of the house elves and we never knew about it???" Jess smiled.
"Our Sassy is a gal of mystery." Corina smiled. "Oh Grizzelda's Cauldron is on!!! This Live Wire is the best!"
The unfortunate part about any form of vid was it seemed were the never ending flow of commercials, even on AVN. The commercial started off like typical Honey Duke's chocolate frog commercial, until the box was opened! Colours swirled in waves out of the box, as a the grinding hum of a middle eastern guitar began to rise. A chocolate frog peeked its head out and jumped towards the viewer, the album cover for the new album by the CHOCOLATE FROGS on its tummy. Three names flashed across the screen as the hit song "THE BAZZAR" played.
"MYRON WAGTAIL... ORPHEUS MANXX....TIMPANY MUNCHAUSEN... 3 OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN MUSIC!!!" The words pulsed. "ON SALE NOW!!!"
In London AVN was carried on most MAG-SKY cable packages above basic.
"I know, I know, I know!" Myron Wagtail yelled at two faces in his fire place embers." It's an inconvenience in the schedule but I need to be in Avalon for this!"
"The Witch Queen of Avalon wants us to play at the opening of these WITCH QUEEN trials?" Orpheus Manxx asked.
"She wants to see the look in my eye as she tortures my God daughter." Myron said. "I need to be there to support her. Protector if I can!!!"
"We're here for you dude." Timpany Munchausen smiled. "Frogs gotta do what a Frogs gotta do!"
"Thanks." Myron sighed with relief. "Orpheus?"
"Well you can't do this with out me." Orpheus Manxx sneered. "It will make the Hamburg show tight, but I feel you man. I'm in."
"Great." Myron said. "I'm adding a few people to our crew to get them in fast. People that have to be there!!!
The LIVE WIRE flashed bright red. "This is AVN BREAKING NEWS!" The toad like face of Morgana Moonshadow came on screen with a broad smile.
"The Royal Palace has released the official details on the Witch Queen trials EXCLUSIVELY to AVN!" Morgana Moonshadow said excitedly as if she were the luckiest and most privileged of witches. "The Trials will begin day after next! Oh my that's not much time for those lucky few, who will be receiving tickets to attend the trials that are to take place in the Avalon Angels Spharx Stadium by invitation only, to get a new outfit! The trials, are designed to be grueling tests that prove in the eyes of all the people of Avalon that those who compete for the rite of being our glorious leader will be the true Witch Queen!"
The large screen went black as Karry flicked her wand shaking her head. "Honestly Zac, I don't know how you can stand to watch that horribly biased woman?"
"Just keeping up with any information an Sasporilla." Zac said. "Not that that old Walrus would mention her name."
"Have you heard from Myron?" Karry asked.
"Expect to any minute." Zac smiled getting off the couch and walking over to his nervous love. "Don't worry. He'll get us in and we'll figure out some way to help her. She's always been there for us. We'll all be there for her."
"I just have this horrible feeling," Karry said hugging her husband, "that Sassy is all alone in this one."
