Ducky Potter and the AnimalMan Stone

Ducky Potter and the AnimalMan Stone

By Taylor Smith and Aliya Fontaine

Once upon a time, there was a duck named Ducky Potter. He lived with his cousin Duckley and his aunt and uncle Duckpuniea and Ducken. They were the last of the evil ducks. They made him sleep in a cupboard under the sink. They never let him do what he wanted.

One day a paper airplane addressed to Ducky flew through the window. Before Ducky could read it, his Uncle Ducken grabbed it and threw it in the feather bin where it would be lost forever. This happened one million times and in the end Uncle Ducken decided to leave with the whole family. They went to the worst place imaginable where no paper airplane dares to fly, school. When they got to, school, Ducky was forced to sleep in the basement while everyone else got to sleep on nice comfortable desks. When it was half past two Ducky realized it was December 4th, his birthday. To celebrate, he pulled out a feather from his left wing and ate it. Suddenly the building fell down. Ducky ran outside just in time and sadly was “greeted” by his aunt, uncle and cousin. Then out of the dust stepped a huge bearman. He walked up to Ducky and said, “you are a spy”. Ducky was amazed. So was everyone else. The bearman’s name was Beargrid and he came from Human Pimples, a school that trained young animals, like Ducky,to become spies and go on all sorts of quests. The headmaster of the school was the great and powerful Chinchillador.

Ducky agreed to go with Beargrid and everyone was happy, especially Duckley. Beargrid took Ducky to the train station and gave him a textbook for platform four and one fourth. Ducky was very confused but he took it anyway. While Ducky was walking down platform 87 he saw a guard. He walked up to the guard and asked him where he could find platform four and one fourth. The guard told him that it was down on platform 99998. Ducky thanked the guard and kept walking. When he got to platform 99998 he looked around for platform four and one fourth. Then he noticed a family of pigs walking hurriedly, talking about Human Pimples. He asked them if they knew where platform four and one fourth was. They told him to follow them and he did. They led him to a candy store and there bought some Three Musketeers. After they bit into the candy they were teleported to a train station. There, Ducky got on the train with the young pigs in the family who were also going to Human Pimples. When Ducky got in the train he found an empty sled and sat down. Then the young pig by the name of Piggy sat down across from him and they started talking about their many life-related problems. Obviously they became great friends.

Soon a nice owl came around with a food cart that contained twenty bowls of slop, eighty baskets of leaves, and a human, lightly salted. One bowl of slop was ten pencils, one basket of leaves was fifteen pencils, and the human, lightly salted was twenty pencils. Ducky and Piggy had no pencils but they used their cuteness to get everything in the cart for free. When they were halfway done with their food, a chicken walked in. She said her name was Chicky Granger and that Piggy had some blood on his nose. Then she told them that the train was almost at Human Pimples and that they should put their bark on so they would look presentable. Just as soon as they got their bark on, the train stopped and a soft voice yelled     “ First pears!,” Ducky, Piggy, and Chicky went with the other first pears and followed Beargrid to the boxcar of the train where they all sat down again and traveled to Human Pimples.

Once they got to Human Pimples, they were locked in a room to make friends and enemies before school started. As soon as the old animals left, a young ferret named Ferret Malfoy walked up to Ducky and said “ Hey, you want to be enemies?,” Ducky said “ OK.” Then the teacher of Liondor walked into the room and said, “ I am Profesor McSheepy. Follow me,” So they did.

They walked into a big bouncy house and made a line in front of the other teachers. Then a very old and important looking chinchilla stepped up and said “ I am the great and powerful, Chinchillador!”, They all oohed and ahhed. “ At this time we will sort you into four different houses that have no meaning whatsoever except to make you compete against each other and have different ranks depending on which house has the most famous, smartest, fluffiest, popularest, or meanest people in it. Lets begin.” Everyone cheered. Then Professor McSheepy walked up with a long leaf and began to sort. Ducky was in Liondor, Piggy was in Liondor, Chicky was in Liondor, Pig and Piginson were in Liondor, Ferret was in Snakerin, Crab was in Snakerin, Gargoyle was in Snakerin, Frogille was in Liondor. All the  Liondors were told to follow Pigercy, a very pompous pig. He led them to a big picture of a chinchilla wearing a pink dress. Ducky walked up and said, “ Hello, ma’am.” Then the chinchilla shouted “ I’m a man! The names Fluffay by the way.” Ducky then apologized and walked through his tummy. In the common room Ducky and Piggy grabbed the squitchey chairs by the fire and ran upstairs to the topmost dormroom. There they made Chicky come to their room and turn it yellow and pink and make a fluff fire place. Then they went to lunch.

There they ate whole wheat bread with lightly peppered human  blood spread on it. After lunch, they had their first class, potions. The teacher of potions was Snape and he was the bestest person in the whole wide world. Everyone loved him. He taught them how to make a potion to juice a human instantly. After potions, they had Defense Against the Dark Stuff. The teacher for that was Professor Quill. He was boring and everyone hated him. He told the worst stories ever. After that they went to dinner. There they met their other teachers. There was Professor McSheepy, Professor Flywick, and Professor Beanbunny. Every day was like this, and they all had fun. Except when they went to Professor Quill. One day while they were eating lunch, Professor Quill ran in and said that there was a dust bunny in the sewer! The teachers went to investigate and since Ducky, Piggy, and Chicky were dumb they followed their new, weird teachers. They were just about to give up when the dust bunny attacked them and ate Ducky whole! Piggy and Chicky threw spit balls at the dust bunny until he spit up Ducky.

They then ran away and fell through the floor on top of the teachers. Then they were yelled at, called un-fluff and sent to bed. They had detention the following week. Ducky and Piggy were very suspicious about the dust bunny, which was Professor Quill’s speciality. So one day they followed him down a hole in the floor. There they played chess and inhaled 20 potions. Then Chicky and Piggy chickened out and ran away. Ducky walked through the final door and found  Mighty Baby XXIII. Mighty Baby XXIII tried to make Ducky join him, but Ducky refused and turned him into a dust bunny. Then, since he knew how to fight dust bunnies, he defeated Mighty Baby XXIII, threw him out and went to dinner.

At the end of the year he went home and lived happily with his new and improved family of dust bunnies.
