TSB Chapter 8: Run, Lola, Run

Written By: Thomas
POV:Third Person
Deaths: Lola (1)

Ginny thanks the rest of Team England for saving her from the "English terrorists," and informs them that Lola is in the Tower of London, where she tortures her political enemies- catholics, heterosexuals and "good Christian men." Michael agrees, and wastes no time in buying airplane tickets. Draco also concurs, saying that torturing people for their different beliefs is wrong... as long as they're Catholic, and he wants England to return to its Catholic roots. Ginny feels in awe to be in the presence of someone as brave as Draco.

Team England returns to England by train (evidently forgetting that Ireland is an island, and they'd bought train tickets). They pass the time by reading the Bible, specifically Moses' story in Exodus (an obvious reference to William's story, as they note), and note that people don't need computer games or iPods when they have the Bible.

Meanwhile, Ginny says she likes the story, and Draco kisses her, apparently on the eyes. They don't go any farther than that, since they're on a plane (I wonder if they switched back to the plane to note that Draco and Ginny aren't planning to join the Mile-High Club), and sex is a sin, which means that not only do they not do it in public, they don't do it until they're married. The narration then points out that "Draco has never married before and he has never had a divorce"- perhaps the latter part may be true, but he also married Ebony and Hermione.

The Prayer Warriors get to London and enter the Tower of London, at which point Draco declares that he renounced his practice of evil magic and killed Wawa. He ends up getting Lola's attention, and she declares he must be stopped, even though her wording implies that she's unable to do so.

Draco draws a sword made out of bricks called Delirium, but it proves even less effective than it sounds, since it goes through Lola. Lola boasts that weapons are no use against her, and neither is prayer, since she can distractpeople.

Of course, Draco just happens to have the solution to this. In spite of what Lola just said, he prays to God, converting his sword into a vacuum cleaner, which he uses to suck Lola up, and the sacred air inside kills her.

A word about plot holes. Most long or complex stories have a few, which vary in severity. Some are especially blatant, such as Ebony coming back from the dead in the same chapter. Others are debatable, such as a good portion of the entries on the Headscratchers pages, many of which invite responses to the effect of, "No, this actually makes sense, and here's why." Of course, most of the author's plot holes are in the former category, and simply out of a lack of due diligence.

Next Installment: Team Egypt gets a lead on the next Egyptian god's location.
