New World Quest

Prologue: It is Harry Potter's seventh year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One year previous he, with the help of his friends, defeated the dark wizard Voldemort. Now a year later Harry and three of his friends are called upon to save the world again…

"What do you reckon Dumbledore wants us for?" asked Ron in a curious tone.

"I don't know what it could be at this time of night. It's three o' clock in the morning and I was actually getting some good sleep tonight" stated a very sleepy sounding Harry.

"Well what ever it is it must be very important, or else it could have waited until later." Hermione said in her 'I'm always right' voice.

"Well thank you for stating the obvious" said Ron in a sarcastic tone as Hermione glared at him.

"If it wasn't important then he wouldn't have called us out this late. I swear I could've hexed that house elf for waking me up like that. If he hadn't said that Dumbledore needed us immediately, I probably would have".

"Well you wouldn't wake up no matter how hard he and I tried. I would have tried to stop him but house elves are fast, I didn't expect him to pour water all over you. But you have to admit, it was pretty funny" Said a now laughing Harry.

"Funny for you! That water was ice cold!"

"Ok Ron its over, don't wake up the whole castle about it. Lets just go and see what Dumbledore wants so we can go back to bed ok?" scolded an up until now silent Ginny.

"Yea whatever" grumbled a slightly red Ron.

Meanwhile, in a different dimension:

"Why don't I have that crystal yet!"

"I'm s- sorry Rasmis my Lord, b- but we've looked everywhere for it. It-It's still yet to be found sir".

"Well look more precisely! I want that crystal in my possession! If I don't get it someone will find themselves in a lot of pain. Do you understand me!"

"Yes Master, but you see there's one problem".

"What is it?"

"Well you see my Lord, It seems as though we need a map".

"Well then get the map", Rasmis responded as if it were the easiest thing in the world.

"Sir It- It's n- not that simple, you see the map is found somewhere in the Valley of the Unknown"

"I see no problem, simply go to the Valley and get the map you idiot!"

"Well my Lord, the soldiers are a- afraid to go into the valley."

"WHAT! Out of my 200 Elite, not one of you is willing to go into a little valley!"

"Yes, well Master, there are many creatures of the unknown and many other dangers in that valley."

" Did I hire wizards or mice! You will go into that valley and you will get me that map do you understand me!"

"Yes Master"

"And if you dare come back empty handed then I will personally see to it that you, Lucar, never again see the light of day, am I understood?"

"Yes Master"

"Well what are you waiting for? GO! Now!"

"Yes Master, on my way!"

The man instantly disapparated with a slight popping noise. The one known as the 'Lord', Rasmis, sat down on his throne and silently mumbled to himself about how hard it was to get good service these days.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny silently walked up the stairs to Professor Dumbledore's office. As soon as they got on the landing the door opened and there sitting at his desk was Professor Dumbledore, with his half moon spectacles on and his hands folded across his desk. His expression was quite different from its normal appearance. He didn't have that usual twinkle in his eye and he had a rather uncertain look about him, like he was fighting within himself to make a decision, the outcome of which would be very important.

As the four of teens entered the room, Dumbledore motioned for them to sit and as they did he silently stood up. Harry could see Fawkes sleeping in his cage at the corner of the room. He turned his attention back to Dumbledore as the old man started to speak. Harry noticed that the man looked very old and grave indeed, his years beginning to show in his countenance.

"I know you four are probably wondering why I sent for you so early in the morning". The old man watched as the four teens looked at each other and shook their heads 'yes' in unison. Dumbledore released a sigh.

"Well, the reason I've sent for you is to ask you all a special favor. Some of my friends are having quite some trouble dealing with an evil sorcerer where they come from."

The four teens looked at each other and Ron asked, "What do you need us for though?"

Dumbledore looked at the four with that same uncertain look as earlier and said "Well, they need some of the strongest witches and wizards they can get to help them. I've noticed how your friendship with each other has grown over the years and I've also noticed the bond that you four have created."

The four just looked on as their headmaster continued. "I also noticed that it was this bond you share that helped you defeat Voldemort.

Together, you four are practically an invincible force. The love, loyalty, protection, and friendship you share make you strong. Individually you make little effect, but together you make a difference. A difference of a great sort."

Harry looked astonished. Ron looked dumbfounded. Hermione looked astounded. And Ginny looked shocked. All four were processing what their headmaster had just told them. Each one of them was thinking 'We're practically invincible? We make a difference? Our friendship is what defeated Voldemort? We have a special bond?'

Each one could hardly believe that they mattered that greatly amongst others. They all snapped back to reality when they heard Dumbledore's voice speaking to them again.

"I've thought long and hard about who I could send to help when it finally occurred to me that you four were best suited for the job. I would go myself, but the school needs me here.

"I feel that the love and trust you share will help you get through the many difficulties you will face. A bond like the one you four share can make the difference in what will become of our world. That is why I have chosen you. That is how you can help.

"If you four will listen carefully I will tell you the details of this 'New world quest' ". All four paid careful attention as Dumbledore prepared to tell them about the journey that would define their futures..,
