Summary: AU. Harry Potter & Circle of Magic. We know little about what happened between the Winding Circle gang's lives between the end of The Circle of Magic and The Circle Opens. What happens when Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar are sent to Hogwarts.
Disclaimer: I don't own any J.K.'s or Tammy's characters...if I make any characters then they will be posted here...(much quicker than naming those I DON'T own) THERE MAY BE SPOILERS!!! BEWARE!!!
Prologue:
(Briar's POV(point of view))
It was the middle of the night, yet he and the girls were up on the wall. This wasn't odd; they were often up here in the sweltering summer nights, to catch a stray breeze, but they weren't up here just to catch a breeze. Dedicate Superior Moonstream and Dedicates Lark, Rosethorn, Frostpine, and, oddly, Gorse were with the children, as well as the youngsters' friend and teacher, Niko.
It was near midnight, near, but not quite that magical hour yet. The clock atop the Hub, a gigantic structure at the center of Winding Circle, the mage community that Tris, Briar, Sandry, and Daja had been studying at for about a whole year, called the hour of mid-night. The group tensed, and the four held hands and breaths, waiting.
A rift opened, void of light, as if a tear in the fabric of reality occured, exposing the nothingness inside. Then blinding lights flooded through...
(Winding Circle-Discipline Cottage-A Week Ago)
Two letters were delivered in a strange package to Discipline Cottage. The first letter was from Moonstream to Lark and Rosethorn. A second letter sat on the rough wooden table where it had floated down from Lark's numb hands. The four mage students gathered around her while Rosethorn, or "Rosie" as Lark called her sometimes, grabbed the letter and read it outloud:
To the Mages of Winding Circle, Emelan,
Greetings. My name is Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I would like to inform you that the wizards at our Ministry of Magic have recently found a way to travel through our two dimensions, yours and ours, safely. We also have found that your magic and ours are both found in young witches and wizards (or mages, as you prefer to call them), but the magic of the other dimension is lost if not used by their thirteenth birthday. We would like to accept a few of your mages to our school to study our magic for seven years, so that those lucky mages may help unlock secrets between the dimensions. All of their schooling fees and supplies will be covered. They may either stay over the summer or return home briefly. If you accept, we will open a portal a week from now at a set location that Madame Moonstream will determine. Once through the portal, please have your students get on the train at platform 9 3/4.
Also, we have two open teaching positions we would like two of your best suited Dedicates to fill, if they so choose. We would like a teacher for meditation, as it may greatly improve our students' learning abilities. We would also like someone to teach our Herbology class, which would be best fitted to one of your "green-mages". We hope to see you soon.
Sincerly,
Albus Dumbledore
So there they were, huddled together on the wall. Dedicate Moonstream had deemed Sandrilene fa Toren, Briar Moss, Trisana Chandler, and Daja Kisubo to be best suited to go to this new school. They had also chosen Rosethorn and Niklaren Goldeye to accompany them, as the new teachers.
Here we go again. Said Briar over the mental link the four shared after Sandry spun their magics together during an earthquake nearly a year ago.
The girls responded by squeezing hands tighter and sending a flood of reasurance through the link. They let go of each other to grab their bags of clothes and other items: Briar had his shaaken and some pastries that Gorse had delivered to the four as a goodbye present, Sandry had her favorite drop spindle and a few other stitch-witch supplies, Daja brought the supplies for a small shrine to honor her family, who had drowned when Fith Ship Kisubo sank, and Tris brought a few of her favorite books.
"It's time to go," said Rosethorn sharply, trying to hide that she was a little afraid, and that she would miss Lark.
They looked back at the others one more time, smiling back before entering the portal to another adventure.
That's it. I'll try to update fast, but I find it hard to type unless I have lots of REVIEWS (hint, hint, wink)...so...yeah!
This will go through all seven years (even though The Circle Opens begins only four years later...but that's why this is MY AU...hehehe) and then I plan a sequel where the Trio (and some surprising others) come to Winding Circle...but they will start training their powers sooner than that...cuz...yeah.
Also, I'll be taking votes for relationSHIPS and powers for people that you want to see in the sequel and sooner...
So these are some of my not-set-in-concrete Ships:
Briar: Harry/Draco/Hermione/Sandry/OC (don't really want an OC for him)
Tris: Ron/Draco/OC
Daja:Blaise (Zabini!)/Dean Thomas/Harry/OC (don't really want an OC for her either)
Sandry:Briar/Harry/OC (she shouldn't have an OC...)
Hermione/Ron
Harry:Ginny/Draco(hmmm...)/Briar(gasp!)
SO...I'll post the votes at the bottom of my chappies till it's closed...I won't post the powers...until later!
