What the Hell?
Kelly
I glanced around as Ms. Heapy, our maths teacher, handed out yet another four page sheet. "Remember, we are the advanced class, which means we have to learn more." She said as she usually did, causing everyone around her to roll his or her eyes. The people behind us were being their usual raucous selves, chatting away about something or another, trying to block out Ms. Heapy's constant drone of how we were superior to the other two maths classes. Courtney, the girl sitting next to me, was her normal abnormally quite self, the two boys sitting across from her the only ones actually paying attention to the work set in front of them. Nikki was telling a Harry Potter joke to Sarah, who literally fell off her chair laughing, her waist-length chestnut colored hair swinging after her, tears of mirth in her clear blue eyes. Nikki laughed, causing her long dirty blond fringe fell into her light blue eyes once more. I grinned at the normality of the situation, just the familiarity was comforting. Little did I know, I would soon be in a whole New World, literally.
Sarah
I watched leaves fall from the trees outside our maths classroom, recovering from laughing myself off my chair earlier. I'm suddenly glad I wore three shirts today as a sudden gust of wind tore through the classroom. The room went abnormally quiet as a teacher opened the door, handed a note to Ms. Heapy and walked out. She quickly scanned the note, her eyebrows creasing together as she finished. She glanced up and around the classroom, her gaze finally landed on my two best friends, Kelly, Nikki and me, confusion showing clearly on her face.
"Sarah, Nikki and Kelly, the principal wants you in their office." We all glanced at each other, what were we, who were possibly the three most well behaved people in the school, doing being called to the principal's office? We nodded in unison and shuffled out of the room quietly. Once we were out of earshot of the classroom, we started with the questions.
"What the hells going on?"
Nikki
"What the hell is going on?" Kelly repeated, shaking her head in disbelief, causing her short, jaw length, choppy, golden brown hair to fly out from her head. "I mean, I know my attendance record is a little spotty, but it's not that bad, surely?" We headed towards the main building, towards the principal's office. Once we were inside we soon came upon a glass wall, every pane covered with a closely shut blind except for the glass door in the middle of the wall.
"Are we all ready?" Sarah asked, looking back at us semi nervously.
"No, but let's get this over with." I responded, pulling and holding the door open so my friends could go through. They glared at me and stepped, making sure I followed them, not just run away, leaving them alone in the middle of Ms. Goldman's office. As soon as we stepped in we saw a woman in her forties, her blond hair tied in a neat pony tail, and she sported a blank look on her face. Uh oh, no ones face should look that blank. I waved a hand in front of her face and when she didn't as much as blink I turned to my friends.
"Something is wrong." I claimed, staring at Ms Goldman's face. Kelly walked up, and after a minute or to of staring at her and her facial expression, drew back her hand and landed a hard slap on her right cheek. Sarah grabbed her arms and pulled her back, away from the still overly blank looking principal.
"Something is most definitely wrong."
Kelly
"Something is most definitely wrong."
"You can say that again." A tall man stepped out from a room at the back of this one, his dark hair smoothed back flat into a short ponytail. He sported a stubbly beard and mustache, giving him a creepy looking edges. The smile on his face, however, was completely normal, not even the slightest bit creepy.
"Who are you and what did you do to Ms Goldman?" Sarah asked, backing away slightly.
"I mean, not that we care since this actually the first time I've ever heard of her. Have you noticed how quickly we go through principals, it's like the Defense against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts." I suggested, Nikki snorting at my reference.
"Oh come on, you ruined my cliche horror movie line!" Sarah objected, glaring at me.
"It had to be done." I shrugged, it was true, it did.
"I am Draylia, an all powerful being created at the dawn of time to watch over the many different worlds that exist. However, one world has not turned out quiet how we would like, and someone needs to go to this world, and fix as much about as they can without changing the historical course of the world. We believe you three, you children," He said the word with as much disdain as possible. "How the abilities needed to do this. We were told you were somewhat experts on this world, however, if you don't feel up to the challenge…" He smirked evilly. I really dislike this guy.
"Well, that all depends on what world it is." My god, I can't believe I just said that, I sound like a crazy person. At least I have my girls support, I think as they step up beside me and nod in agreement, all while glaring at this…prat.
"The world is that of a boy called…Harry Potter. I assume you've heard of him?" We glare at him harder, trying not to show our rather great amount of surprise. I always thought if I was confronted with one of these things I'd be really skeptic, but…what self respecting HP fan would pass up the chance of meeting the real one?
"Oh yeah, we've heard of him." Nikki sniped back, clearly pissed of by this guy already.
"I come before you with this choice, either go into the world and train to become powerful witches, or stay here, with your family, all safe and warm in your beds. Its your choice." I glanced at my friends and they immediately nodded.
"What will happen to our lives here?" I asked, curious.
"Time here will freeze, and if one of you can't handle it, you will all be sent home, and we will find others with your unique…capabilities. If after the war you want to leave you will be returned to the moment before you were asked here. If that happens, and the other two, or however many are left, still want to stay on in the other world, will be able to. Any questions?" Me and Nikki shook our heads.
"Where will we live?" Sarah asked, looking as if she were worried we would be dumped in the street to fend for ourselves.
"You will live in a house in London, near the Leaky Cauldron, and you will have enough money to get you through the years many times over. Any more questions?" We all shook our heads. "And do you wish to leave this world for the other?" We looked at each other and nodded in unison, hesitantly but sure of our decision. "Very well." And with that, a great flash of light and a loud pop, we standing in the middle of a small house, presumably somewhere in London.
