LOL!

Good times!

Glad you enjoyed it.

I'm not sure, but I think my muse is pondering what other notable characters might be hidden or hiding in the Department of Mysteries.

I have only one question: Why didn't they spare Mario a 1-up? The man is the master plumber..

Good question. O.O

And the answer is that it never occurred to me. Brain fart,obviously! ;-(

Of course, that offers yet another plot bunyip to spontaneously appear, so you might see something like this in the future, once my muse is finished with the stories I'm currently working on. ;-)

Lovely story and funny but what is the crossover

Glad you enjoyed the story.

The cross was the Mario Brothers game series.

Since I'm to blame for inspiring you to write this, maybe I will be again if this does the same for the next one. Luna's comment about extra-dimensional beings started me thinking. I had an image in my head of a Harry with spiky, wind-swept hair with a cerulean tinge and a near insatiable craving for chili dogs. I also thought of Hermione dressed as Rouge the Bat but wielding Amy Rose's Piko-Piko Hammer.

It's a nice idea, but I'm not at all familiar with the Sonic the Hedgehog series, so I doubt that I'll do anything with it.

Unless, of course, my muse changes her mind and tells me to do so. ;-)

Hell Yeah!! Love to see more of this... then again, I do say that about all your stories, so it's no real surprise...

The prophesy was a distinctly nice touch, and now that Harry has heard it, I really would hope he has less trust in Dumbledore, given all the secrets the old fart has kept from him all these years - yes, I'm trying to incite Muse Mania here, so work with me, people! - along with his idiocy of supporting Snape's little sadistic games on helpless children...

Wonder who and what else is down there in the Dept. of Mysterious' little cubbyholes and vaults that they might stumble upon next...

Yes, indeed, the Department of Mysteries could be (and probably is) hiding a great many surprises in its vast and unexplored hidden areas.

That would probably be a good challenge, too - to explore the DOM and discover what's hiding inside. That could provide a lot of fun (or terrifying) stories. 0.0

Good, no telling what else they would find if they looked.

Mario probably came through the veil.

Yep, that's the most likely answer to the question of how he got inside the DOM.

I wonder who/what else might be hiding/lurking inside various Ministry chambers? ;-)

You should continue this, its a good idea and I love what you've done so far.

Thanks. Any continuation is up to my muse's whims. ;-)

'And lo I beheld a pale horse...' Ah, the carnage to come!

Yes, indeed.

The Wizarding World needs a great deal of carnage to happen, if they're going to change things for the better.

I had to go back and read "The Power(Up) They Know Not" after I read this one. You should set this up as a challenge. I am sure this bunny will infect many. I laughed a lot at both stories. Nice job.

What exactly what you mean about making this a challenge?

For any author to change 'the power he knows not' to whatever the author wants it to be?

Or to make a challenge to have 'the power he knows not' be something from a video game?

Glad you enjoyed the story. ;-)

So they find Mario and his items... though I don't get the prophesy

I made the prophecy different in this 'verse, mainly because so many people keep the same idiotic one that JKR mandated, which is basically nothing more than a paperweight no, since Harry destroyed Tom in their Halloween encounter fourteen years earlier.
