It was a Thursday, which meant, of course, that Julz and Elisa were on the bus, on their way back to Elisa's house, after school. It was a beautiful day, perfect conditions for hockey, which was where they would be heading later.

They were sitting at the back of the bus, feet on seats, having a discussion about Harry Potter, when the only remaining passenger got off.

Elisa's eyes followed the man as she contemplated what Julz had just said.

"Yeah, I guess I get what you're saying," she said, glancing at Julz, "I guess it's just the old 'bad-boy' syndrome, hey?"

"Yep," answered Julz with a smile, "That's all it is… And I guess it doesn't help that they're both dead sexy." The two girls grinned at each other.

Suddenly, there was a squeal of breaks and they were both thrown forward.

Everything went black.

-

Julz groaned and opened her eyes. Someone was poking her.

She sat up and looked around her. Next to her bed (Bed? What the-?) was Elisa, on another bed, staring at her, wide-eyed.

"Tell me you're seeing what I'm seeing." She said. Julz frowned and stared around her. She seemed to be in a bus. A purple bus. There were beds, instead of seats, and looking out of the window next to her, she saw that it was night time and that they were not moving. They were, in fact, parked outside what looked like an old inn, on a cobblestone road.

"I'm seeing what you're seeing." She confirmed.

"Erm, excuse me," Julz's attention was drawn back to the person who'd awoken her. "Do you mind getting off? Only, we've got a tight schedule, me and Ernie." He nodded towards the bus driver, who was staring at them both, curiously.

"Uh…" Began Julz, but Elisa, who seemed to have come to her senses, cut her off.

"Sure thing!" She said. She sprung up, grabbed Julz's arm, and dragged her off the bus. They both watched as it started to drive down the street, then disappeared into thin air. Julz gapped and rubbed her eyes.

"What the hell was-" She started, turning back to Elisa, but realised she was no longer there. Julz stared around and located her, in the middle of the street, dancing.

"Um, Elisa?" she approached her slowly, fearing for her good friends sanity, "What's going on?"

Elisa stopped mid-jig and turned to Julz.

"Julz!" she practically screamed, "we're in Harry Potter!"

-

Julz stared at her for a second, then turned towards the inn.

"I'm gonna get help. You've lost it."

She walked up to the door, opened it, and went inside. Elisa followed close behind, a stupid grin on her face.

The inn keeper hurried towards them, grinning and baring all of his crooked, yellow teeth.

"Welcome," He said, "Are you looking for a room for the night?"

"Uh, no, thanks," said Julz, "I was just wondering if we could use your phone? We're kind of lost."

"Phone?" The man said, looking puzzled, "We don't have one of those. New product?" He queried.

"Yeah, like a gazillion years ago. You must have one. Everyone has one."

"Not wizards," Said Elisa, resting her chin on Julz's shoulder. Julz elbowed her in the ribs.

"Ah." Said the inn keeper, "A muggle invention? We haven't got any of those."

Julz couldn't believe her ears.

"What do you- Where are- What the hell is going on?"

Elisa grinned and stepped forward.

"Could you tell me, good man, exactly where we are?" she said.

"The Hogs Head. Best inn in Hogsmead."

Julz fainted clean away.

-

She awoke, some time later, and found herself in a comfy bed… with an extra limb. She sat up and looked at Elisa, who was sitting in a chair next to her, smiling sheepishly.

"Hello." Elisa said.

"Where am I now?" Julz said, angrily. Elisa grinned at this.

"You'll never guess," Elisa paused expectantly, looked momentarily disappointed at Julz's lack of speech, then continued, "You feinted, right, so I thought I'd try to levitate you up to a room, cause I found a wand in my pocket, but I forgot that I hadn't actually learnt the spell properly and I couldn't remember the exact movement, so I sort of improvised, and you grew an extra arm, then who should come in? Albus Dubledore. And I asked him for help and he was like 'Come up to Hogwarts with me, my dear, this I no place for young girls' which would have been creepy but it wasn't cause it was Albus Dumbledore. So we walked to Hogwarts and we came up here, the hospital wing, and Madam Pomfrey said to just lay you down here so we did and she cast some spell on you and said the arm would be gone in the morning. The Dumbledore asked me what had happened and I told him and he said that we must have fallen through a parallel dimension port-holey thingo and guess what?" She said breathlessly. Julz shook her head, speechless, "He said we have to stay here at Hogwarts, till we can find a way back!"

AN: It's on Julz. The saga has begun. Got any suggestions? Ideas for improvements? Go for it. You know where I am.
