Harry Potter and What Happened After - Sahits

"I don't think so," said Ron, "the only way to jump across that distance is with magic."
"I know," said Ginny, suddenly angry, "I was joking. But we need to get across the chasm to save
Harry."
"What about brooms," said Ron, "We could go back to the house and conjure brooms, then we fly them
into this chamber and across the chasm."
"Nope," said Hermione, "I think the spell that inhibits the use of magic would nullify the flying spells
put on the brooms. The second we enter this chamber again the only thing the brooms would be good
for would be sweeping."
"Well we have to do something," Ginny practically screamed. She was starting to tear again. She
picked up a stone the size of a snitch and tossed it across the chasm, trying to gauge how deep it was,
and trying to get her anger out.
The rock only made it three quarters of the way across before it started to fall. But instead of falling
into the chasm it seemed to bounce on thin air and continue its flight across, bouncing two more times
before it came to rest 10 feet from the far edge of the giant fissure. The rock just sat there, seemingly
floating in mid air.
"Wow," said Ron, "I thought that we couldn't use magic in this chamber."
"We can't," said Hermione as she stared at the stone, "But that doesn't mean that potions wouldn't
work."
"What do you mean?" asked Ginny.
Hermione had crouched over and had a handful of gravel from the floor in her hands. "Indiana Jones,"
she said softly, "a leap of faith?" Hermione tossed the gravel out into the chasm, where it too stopped in
mid air and seemed to hang there. Hermione repeated the process a few times and soon had the shape
of the first 10 meters of a bridge defined. The bridge was only about a meter wide, but that was more
than enough for the friends to cross one at a time.
"Hermione, what's going on?" asked Ron.
"There's a bridge here," said Hermione, "can't you see it now that the gravel's down?"
"Yes, we can see it," said Ginny, slowly approaching the start of the bridge as defined by the gravel.
"But why is it invisible?" asked Ron, "I thought that all magic would be negated in the chamber."
"It is," said Hermione, "But this isn't magic in the sense of spells and charms, this is potions, which is
really just chemistry, not actual magic. When Gryffindor started to use this cave system as a prison he
must have used an invisibility potion to make the bridge invisible." Hermione was extremely excited
now. "It's just like in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
"Oh," said Ron, pretending to understand.
"What's Indiana Jones?" asked Ginny, standing just at the edge of the invisible bridge, trying to decide
whether or not to get on it.
"It's a muggle movie," said Hermione, "from America. My dad likes them and made me watch them
when I was younger. There about an adventurer and archeologist named Indiana Jones who goes to
exotic pl…"
"Not important," said Ginny cutting Hermione off, "let's just get across and find Harry."
Hermione just nodded and picked up two handfuls of gravel, motioning for Ron and Ginny to do the
