Blackstone

[brbsavingpeople]

Harry was spending his time as any teenager would before him - watching the telly. Truth be told he was doing nothing more than browsing through the channels, nothing really catching his attention.

He sighed out loud, flicking the power off and slumped into the chair. There was no other way to put it really, he was just plain bored to tears. There was a small pile of books he had picked up to entertain himself, and a video game console but nothing was holding his attention for long, and sitting on his arse was making him more antsier than relaxed. Never did he miss his Firebolt more than now.

Just as he was about to just do something for relieve the mind numbing boredom, a rather odd sound caught his attention. Something, almost like small claws on metal. He frowned, glancing around to locate it only to have the lights suddenly flare a too familiar green and go out.

..Well. This certainly was one way to relieve boredom.

Giving himself a moment to calm his racing heart, he quickly cast Lumos and left his room, in search for the cause.

Harry, on the other hand, was spending his time as any wizard with a gorgeous police officer ladyfriend would before him. Namely walking through the hall in his pajama bottoms to burn off some post sex energy. Well, walking was not quite the right term. More like a shimmy, or possibly what could be loosely described as a dance. Hey, there weren't many people around, and his moments alone with Karren were some of the hand full of times he could forget all the pain he now wore like a lead cloak crushing him into the dirt. He could be forgiven for being a little overly enthusiastic in his post coital celebrations.

Of course this celebration, like all good things in Harry's life, was doomed not to last. No sooner had he managed to bump into a very expensive looking vase, and made a save that would have definitely landed him on the football team in high school, than the lights went out.

"Why do I get the feeling this isn't just a black out. Oh right, because I was having a good time." Sighing, he set down the vase, and then reached down to slip his blasting rod out of his pajamas pockets. Hey, just because he was happy to see Karrin, didn't mean he didn't also have his blasting rod on him. He was a firm believer in always carrying protection.

Harry redefined safe sex.

"Someone is getting lit on fire for this."

[brbsavingpeople]

It seemed to be perfectly normal outside as Harry wandered the hallways, not noticing anything out of the normal yet.

No one seemed to be out and around except for a rather familiar tall figure down the hall holding one of the decorative vases.

Right. Other wizard here who happened to share his name.

He headed closer, intending to ask if Mr. Dresden had seen anything, only to overhear his statement and grin wryly. "Just not me, yeah? Don't think I ever did learn the Fire-Proof Charm."

[outtabubblegum]

Where Harry a younger and more paranoid man, he might have done just that when his fellow wizard emerged from the murk. Luckily for them both, however, time had taught Harry that as important as instincts were, they had to be used by him, not allowed to call the shots.

Glancing down at his younger namesake, because he came first dammit, Harry just shook his head at Harry with a smirk. "You know, we really have to stop meeting like this. We should form a social club or something." Noting the glowing tip of Potter's wand, Dresden closed his eyes and sent a effort of will into his mother's pentacle, causing it to glow with a soft blue-white light. "Who needs flashlights anyway?"

[secondcity_npc]

[The vents don't rattle so much as hiss, and something that glows faintly green appears in the hallway behind the Two Wizards Harry.]

[brbsavingpeople]

It took a moment to understand the remark, and Harry gave a small snort, shaking his head. Aunt Petiunia and her Gardening Club was the first thing that came to mind and he gave a small grimace thinking back to the hours of gossiping and tea he had no choice but to listen in on. "As long as we're not meeting for tea or anything."

He grinned again as the older Harry lit his pentacle, taking a moment to marvel at the trick. "Not us apparently."

Noise behind them distracted Harry from saying anything further and he turned, staring in confusion at the green ... thing. "What in Merlin's name is that?"

[outtabubblegum]

Making a face, Harry shook his head quickly and patted Harry on the shoulder. "No, for guys like us, coffee is the way to go."

Grinning back, he was about to answer his younger counterpart, when suddenly with a hiss a green blob of ectoplasm burst forth in the middle of the hallway before them, Harry's arm moving without conscious direction to aim his blasting rod straight at it. Which was good, because the rest of him was busy being struck dumb by the sheer absurdity of his current predicament.

The only answer he could offer Harry, therefore, was, "A classic eighties film franchise brought to life."

[secondcity_npc]

[the green blob grinned, mouth wide and tongue lolling, as it rushed towards the Harrys]

[brbsavingpeople]

Harry gave a small snort, thinking of the American drink he was attempting not to gather a taste for. "If you say so."

As the green thing fully appeared, he eyed it, oddly reminded of Peeves. Nevertheless, he pulled his wand out, not wanting get caught unprepared.

He did however take a moment to stare incredulously at Harry, trying to determine if he was joking or not. "How's that even possible?"

There wasn't time to listen for an answer as it came rushing towards them though. Harry dived to the side, immediately casting the first spell that came to mind. "Impedimenta!"

[outtabubblegum]

"That's the wonder of magic," he ground out, memories of the last time movie monsters had come to life running through his head. "Anything is possible, except avoiding taxes." Gripping his blasting rod, he hoped his hunch was correct, otherwise the foci would be worse than useless.

"If I have to guess, though, what we're dealing with is a-" Harry's words ended in a loud exclamation of a word he really hope the teenager he was with didn't repeat later as the 'ghost' suddenly charged. Real spirit or not, Harry had no intention of going back to Karrin's room covered in green slime.

Flinging himself in the opposite direction of Harry, he thrust out his fist and unleashed the built up power in two of his silver rings, sending a invisible fist of kinetic force displacing the air between himself and the special effect brought to life. "When I asked who they were gonna call, I didn't think it would be me!"

[secondcity_npc]

[The green ghost's mouth opened wider as Harry's spell sped towards it with a ripple of magic. Instead of hitting though, the ghost swallowed the spell with a loud burp. The fist of kinetic force, however, hit it with a loud, wet thud, sending the ghost bouncing around the confined hallway, splattering said hall with green slime as it did]

[brbsavingpeople]

So he had learned as the years went by. But never had he seen magic cause something like this. Then again, there had been plenty of things he'd seen here that didn't quite fall into Hogwarts Curriculum.

"A what..?" He asked, pretty sure it didn't mean what he just said. Harry kept to the side wall, ready to move if neither of their spells worked. However, he scowled instead as it ate his spell before bouncing away from the other.

Well that wasn't any good. He'd have to try something more powerful instead.

"Do you have any ideas on dealing with it?" He asked quickly before it came back.

[outtabubblegum]

Okay, it had not been able to do that in the film. Damn phages, they could at least bother to pay attention to the classics!

"Well, unless you happen to have an unlicensed nuclear accelerator handy, then we're going to need some iron, and fast!" Apparently the force rings had been enough to drive their ghostly attacker off temporarily, but they didn't have enough charge for that to work for long. "I don't suppose they taught you how to close a circle in that fancy boarding school of yours? Because if not, then you may have to cover me soon." Which would work out, since Harry's offensive magic seemed to come with a lot less collateral damage than his own. Assuming he could find a spell that wouldn't just end up as slime chow.

[secondcity_npc]

[The green globby ghost bounces around some more, throwing off more blobs of slime, and it shrieks in pain as it collides against something mounted to the wall: a fire extinguisher made of steel]

[brbsavingpeople]

"Where in Merlin would I get a nuclear accelerator?" Harry asked, shooting Harry a odd look. He was rather certain such things wouldn't be innocently lying around a hotel of all places. Iron however, he could do. Pointing down the opposite corridor, Harry pushed more magic than he usually used and firmly called "Accio iron." With any luck something useful would show up.

Turning back to Harry, Harry shook his head as he quickly made it to his side of the wall. "Never learned such a thing." He replied, while getting ready to cast more as needed. Covering was at least he could do while Harry worked his brand of magic.

Noticing the reaction the Ghost thing had to the fire extinguisher gave him an idea and without further thought, Harry swish and flicked at it. "Wingardium Leviosa"

[outtabubblegum]

"I don't know! You kids are always the ones finding weird stuff on the internet, I'm sure someone has one on e-bay," Harry groused with a wink, pleased his fellow Harry was proving to be an excellent straight man.

Seeing the same thing Potter had, Harry didn't even need to point out the obvious before that fire extinguisher was lifting itself up and moving towards their slimy foe. "Not bad, those are some A grade instincts. Now, keep him off me for just a couple of seconds," Harry said with a grin, looking around for something he could use for a circle. It only took him a second to lay his eyes upon one of the potted plants placed artfully on a table just a few feet from him. Running over as fast as he could, he scooped out a large handful of soil from the pot, silently thanking the rich clientele who would demand real plants.

Quickly he bent down and began spreading the crushed dirt over the beautiful rugs that probably cost more than his house before it burned down, trying to draw a circle. "Lead it this way!"
