Chapter 1

Dumbledore… what

Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Draco stared at Dumbledore in horror. Did he just say that they had to apperate into another world to bring … mages … into theirs?

"What exactly are mages?" Ginny asked when it occurred to her that she did not know what that was.

"A mage is a witch or a wizard like yourselves," The four backed up a step. "Some of them only can only work with certain things; others only have the power to see magic; still others have the same powers as us, however, they do not require wands."

"I have read about them a little. There was a small mention of mages in Hogwarts: A History. It said that many people have tried and failed come back dead."

Everyone but Dumbledore looked at Hermione as if she were mad to say that as calmly as she did.

She just shrugged and replied, "It doesn't scare me! If we die, I'm sure we'll go to heaven."

Everyone's jaws dropped. Nobody ever knew of her religion, they thought she was Atheist. She acted like one. But apparently she was Christian. The only person who knew this was her boyfriend, Draco, and he thought she wouldn't tell anybody that little secret about herself.

"Anyway some of the people you will be collecting are just warriors and muggles, but who know the world of magic," Dumbledore continued.

They nodded.

"Some sing their magic."

They nodded again.

"You will be gone all year, so you will take your text books and study. You WILL pass all your exams with your usual grades, or you will have to go back in time via time turner and take all this year's classes and your exams in my office at the end of term."

Hermione nodded, and the rest stared in apprehension.

"Here are your trunks. They have every thing you need: sleeping quarters, food that will never go bad, so just make more of it if you start to run out, all your stuff and a note from me."

He handed them each a box the size of a peanut.

"The note from me will change when I wish to speak with you. When you want to talk to me just write in it. I will answer when I can or right then if possible. Now, to disaperate think of Tremaris"
