A rather
short note to begin with:Well, at
first let me point out again that this is marked 'parody'
Full
marking would be Typo-filled,
shameless parody with at least three characters going OOC, two
Sues...or more, a bit of romance, plot-twisting and stunning
revelations.
Yet, I can assure you, good readers, they won't sing at any chapter.
Disclaimers: Harry Potter and World of Warcraft belong to the good people who came up with the ideas, in these cases that'll be J.K. Rowling, Chris Metzen and Blizzard. Oh, and in the case of Krasus and Rhonin add Richard A. Knaak to the list.
Now,
the story begins shortly after Chapter twelve of OOTP.
Enjoy,
leave comments and don't worry about lines that might disturb your
sanity.
(Oh, and
don't worry about canonical errors...it's been a while since I read
OOTP...It's a bloody thick book...I'm not a quick reader...)
Coming of unexpected owls
Owls came
as the students were used to it as all of a sudden the doors swung
open and everyone in the Great Hall held their breath.
A
giant...thing with a body resembling a bear's, an owls-like face and
antlers stepped in and towards the teacher's table.
They, much
to some students' surprise, seemed just as stunned by that sight as
everyone else in the hall.That was
until Dumbledore chuckled, shook his head amused and waved the thing
to the table, taking a letter from it's paw."My...my...",
his eyes wandered over the lines until he folded it again, handing it
back, "These are troubled times. Yet, we can't let our friends
of Dalaran down. Go back and assure good Krasus that it shall be as
he asked."The
creature nodded and disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke."Did
you just say Dalaran?", Professor McGonagall whispered, her
glasses nearly sliding from her nose as if to add to her amazement.
"Yes.
Dalaran.", a short chuckle.
There was
a disgusted growl from Professor Umbridge's side as if to ask, quite
impolite, what that thing was that just brought the letter.
Dumbledore
folded his hands and smiled slyly again, answering the unasked
question:
"That
thing was a moonkin. Or...Owlbeast. So, why shouldn't it
deliver letters...?"
They had
seen a many things that are considered weird in the muggle-world.
Yet, the creature that delivered a letter to Dumbledore seemed more
than out of place.
There was
an eager chattering between classes, though nobody was able to
explain what could be the meaning of that."What
does that mean 'Dalah run'?", Ron shook his head and kept
walking down the corridor alongside Hermione and Harry, who actually
seemed to just as surprised as him..
"I
think the word is Dalaran. D-A-L-A-R-A-N."
"And
what does that mean?"
"The
magocratic city state of Dalaran.", the girl started, obviously
quoting the beginning of an article.
"Magocratic?
Ruled by...Wizards?", Ron tilted his head, blinking.
"Yes.
But..."
"Wouldn't
we have heard about the city if it was ruled by wizards?"
This was
Harry interrupting.
He had
hoped for a little distraction from the rather recent events, but
this was slightly too distracting.
"Not
at all, Harry. Dalaran does not stand on this planet. Their world is
called Azeroth. But from what the books say a long friendship
connects Hogwarts and the city."
"And
that creature? What has it to do with it?"
Hermione
stopped and eyed the two boys while other students walked past them.
She took a
deep breath and sighed: "I believe we will have to wait and
see."
