Chapter 5: Kick off

XXX

For now, we must leave Ginny's story for the moment. We must in fact leave Hogwarts and the whole magical world behind to watch the actions of a muggle, currently a student of Smeltings Academy and is currently skipping class.

With blue eyes and thick blond hair, the thick-set boy know as Dudley Dursley, cousin of Harry Potter sat in Heatherwork's scrapyard, not too far from Smeltings Academy. He was bored and he knew why.

Harry was at Hogwart. Why this made him bored, one must understand Dudley's mind first. One, he didn't hate Harry. At first, with only his parents as role models, he did, but that changed the day of his fifth birthday. He got a Nintendo Entertainment System and played it.

The more games he played, the more an idea took root in his mind. His parents were villains. Sure, the 8-bit villains were more over the top, but watching his dad claiming Harry's parents were drunks and making his life hard, the parallels got more refined.

With his parents as the villains, Dudley could only assume the hero was Harry. After all, that how it was in the games and so Dudley watched. He noted the strange happenings around his cousin, his 'power'. This caught Dudley's interest. He still did horrible things like 'Harry Hunting' but now with a goal in mind. Teleporting, confounding, hair growth, Harry was a confusing mess of powers and so very interesting to Dudley. Even the snake incident hadn't blunted his urges to know.

Then came the letter. Vernon's, for Dudley no longer view people who tried to remove such fascinating things as Harry's 'powers' as parents, reaction to it was very interesting. Burning a harmless letter made Dudley want to know why. More letters, more burning and soon they were at that hut. A mighty knock took him out of the dream he was having and handed Dudley the answers. Harry was a wizard. And there was even a final boss, this You-Know-Who character. A comment from Vernon and Dudley got a up close view of magic.

A pig tail! The fact is only took a flick to make it terrify him and intrigued him. However, him being a 'muggle' and Petunia wanted to 'Protect her baby' made further study of magic, impossible. To stand at the door and have it slammed in his face! Sure, he never made his feeling clear so a good chunk of the blame was his. There was little chance of Harry taking along his main bully, even if the bulling was for a good cause. No, in fact that was worse, the fact that your torment was calculated.

When he came back next summer, Dudley found out that it was even harder to study his magic since if he used it, his wand would be snapped and his magic bound. That would make things boring. He almost gave up before that flying car came. Machine and magic, hey? That was interesting. Most sources he could find agreed on one thing, technology and magic didn't mix, but right in front of him was a violation of this law.

A bell sounded out in the distance. Dudley sighs and got up, he best return soon. Missing one or two lessons a month was fine, but he best not push his luck. A kicked stone sent something sliding off a heap. Landing in front of him was some sort of metal book, coloured jet black with pale red bands along it.

Stopping, Dudley pick up the book. "And what are you?" he said, turning it over and finding a wriststrap. Opening the book he remarked "Ah, you a very odd object, ain't you?". It wasn't a book at all, what with it's two screens. Pressing what looked to be the power button, nothing happened. Broken "But repairable." Dudley thought to himself, opening the casing and seeing burned areas on what were clearly connections. It was clearly more advance then the current level of computers "So where?" he looked up, remembering the sight of a falling star two days ago "Extraterrestrial? Life out there? Interesting." Look like he had found a new subject while the path to magic was closed to him.

Ginny looked out on the Quidditch pitch from the Gryffindor's stands. It was the first match of the year with Gryffindor vs Slytherin. She made eye contract with a certain seeker before turning away and blushing.

Tom vibrated in her pocket in a patten of prolonged or short buzzes. Ginny translated the Morse code, the last of the three languages known by Tom(other then english), and growled. She tapped back a message.

'Tom and Myrtle, sitting in an S-bend, if he doesn't Z-I-P I-T!' the book mere gave an amused buzz.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" Ginny noticed a bushy haired, brown eyed girl with two large front teeths, red trimed robes of Gryffindor and a simple tarnished gold band on her left index finger next to her.

A moment of staring dumbly before Ginny's mind remembered who she was "Oh, sure, no problem, Hermione." she budged up to allow her to sit down. "You're late to this."

Hermione sighed "I got turn round in the castle." She look around "What did I miss?"

"Not much, the snakes scored once..." she look at a dot who she know was the seeker "...and the bludger seem to be trying to kill harry." she said with some conserves.

"I see." Hermione watches the chasers for a moment "Wait, what?" she pulls out binocular from her robes to look over to Harry.

Sure enough, a jet black ball made of iron was making circles to collide with the nimble seeker. "Oh no." Hermione declared "Enchanted?"

"Clearly, but how? Madam Hooch check the equipment before matches and I doubt she would." Ginny asked while moving her hand to the book.

"The players are landing, they are going to remove the bludger, good." Hermione relaxed and looked over at Ginny "Why do you have a book out? Huh, that something I thought I wouldn't say." she remarked.

Tom lightly buzzed in Ginny's hands 'Targeted scan begun' she translated "Just writing some notes in my diary."

"Okay..." Hermione shrugged before gasping "Wait! They are going to keep playing with the bludger!"

"Make sense. Bludgers are the most expensive Quidditch's balls with the longest lifespan so Hogwarts doesn't keep spares. The Quaffle is merely a leather ball with a featherfall charm and a gripping charm, the Snitch is a tiny lump of brass and tin with an animate charm and a flesh memories enchantment, which is why they are made cheap since you can only use each one once-"

"I'm sorry, flesh memories enchantment?" Hermione asked "I not come across that in my books."

"Well, it not very useful outside of Quidditch so it not taught at school. It so if both seekers catch the Snitch at the same time, the snitch will fly around the one who made skin contract first." Ginny explain "Anyway, the Bludger is a solid ball of iron with as many enchantments as you can fit on a object. You got targeting, accelerating, cushioning so it does not break bones too often, weighting changing so the beaters don't break their arms batting it, anti-tempering and anti-targeting enchantments. That a difficult set of charms to keep together."

"Anti-targeting?"

"It what make the bludger change it's target, like what that bludger is not doing." Ginny pointed at dancing pair of dots that were the-boy-who-lived and the-bludger-trying-to-corrent-that. Doing that made Ginny see that Harry was going for the snitch and the bludger was on an unavoidable path.

She jumped from her seat and ran down the stairs, Hermione following in tow after a moment. Tom buzzed 'You know I can't target scan if I don't have line of sight and area scan not that good at analysing magical signatures? Ginny? Hormonal female!' reaching the the pitch, Ginny saw Harry 'land' heavily and the bludger coming in for another go.

Showing why the hat had put her in Gryffindor, Ginny rushed into harm way and faced the lump of iron speeding toward her. Pulling out her wand, well, her great-great grandfather's wand, but it work well enough for her, she cast the only spell that came to her.

"Flipendo!" An almighty boom sounded as darkness enveloped Ginny and she knew no more.

Another chapter, another device. What, you couldn't tell that Dudley's DS-styled find wasn't a device?

Dudley inclusion was a odd path. It started with the need for a villain for this year because the actual villain is a main character so an OC codename 'Phantom' was made. He was going to be a low-level muggle cat burglar who rooftop ran into Diagon Alley because he was magic immune. Finding a whole secret world with no protections geared to effect him, he would become a legend of the wizardry world who countered every spell that came his way since the idea of a magic immune would not figure into the ministry's minds.

He would of been hired by Lucius Malfoy who would be getting worried about the lack of attacks and want the untouchable Phantom to find the diary and get it back so it could not be used as evidence against him. As you can guess, this would lead to Ginny and 'Phantom' facing off against each other.

I Change my mind(clearly), but the idea remain. My current plot line shows a weakness in pacing that 'Phantom' could fix, but his character did not fit. Then Dudley was tossed at me by my muse and the rest is...current events? It not history yet. Of course there are large changes from 'Phantom' to Dudley like Dudley not magic immune and 'Phantom' more charming so I didn't simply drop Dudley into 'Phantom' non-existing shoes.

Anyway, reviews: Celty Sturluson, That got be the kindest review I ever got, I actually tear up at it. Not something I ever thought I would do when I started writing on . FateTheArcher, you are correct, Brave Ambition is bow and arrow set. The swordbow is actually the first point of this fic. Everything else, including being in Harry Potter was tact on to that random thought of that weapon. As for familiar type, wait and see. Everyone else: Thank you for your reviews.

Anyway review, flame or lurk.
