It's the leading events up to it that makes it painful but the actually deed is just peacefully. Claire knew her body should be extremely sore from the battle, she could feel the blood running out of her, soaking her already red clothes. Be able to feel the fear and sorrow of the dead around her. But for the first time in years Claire felt peace before she fell to the floor joining the others to go where ever was next for her. She couldn't feel any pain for the first time since she was born./p

She tired to think of what happened, where she was but she couldn't her mind was drawing blanks. So instead Claire enjoyed it until it slowly started to lighten up, she couldn't guess where the light was coming from but it seemed to be all around her. Claire started to panic when she was able to feel her weight again and also the feeling of falling down but still she couldn't be sure with everything looking the same. She knew it was going to hurt when she hit the bottom and that wasn't something she wanted to do. Her screams started to fill the empty air and she seemed to be going faster and faster downwards to nothingness when she stopped./p

Slowly she reached down to her ankle to where she normally would find her wand to find it empty. Taking a deep breath she realized that she was defenseless and still to scared to open her eyes, she was an open target. Gaining her courage Claire got up from the floor to look around, knowing well enough to not show any fear to the people around her./p

Claire was in Hogwarts but it wasn't like her time where it was overthrown by The Dark Lord. Where in her time everything was green and sliver, the banners across the ceiling, the students robes. The ceiling didn't have magic you could see the beams of Hogwarts where now it showed what it was outdoors. A dark sky, with stars dotted around in a random fashion, making it seem like you were outdoors and maybe you be able to actually touch the sky. And the biggest difference in everything instead of a throne for The Dark Lord to sit and watch over his followers was a long table, a line of people who were killed when she was still young sitting there. /p

Might as well actually take it all it, and even if this was death in was a better then her world so she could deal with it./p

Glad you could join us, Welcome to Hogwarts." A voice said making her turn to the table once again to see an older man. He was standing in front of the long table as if he was waiting for Claire. He was tall, that was clear with a long white beard almost to his lower stomach tired with a orange bow which matched the robes he was wearing. He had a slight smile on his lips like you was enjoying watching Claire. Nothing about him screamed danger but Claire couldn't help but to step back. Everyone knew of Albus Dumbledore and his death, he was supposed to be this great wizard but Claire couldn't help but blame him for the wars. He brought The Dark Lord into her world where he murdered thousands and gave him pity, how could he not see that he was evil./p

Claire asked her voice sharp when she looked at him waiting for an answer. She wanted to know why she would come here because if she wanted to go to someplace peaceful this would be the last place she would end up was some school. /p

Beside Harry Potter, of course but that was a one time thing he was dead now when the second curse came flying at him. Maybe he was just trying to mess with her. Claire moved to the side of the room covered in red and gold, she couldn't remember what the house name was but many people she knew generations ago came from that house. Maybe she should of paid more attention to everyone when they were talking about Hogwarts. Jumping up she sat one the window ledge and looked out the window watching the sky. Claire could feel the eyes on her but she was used to it by now, she always had the habit of making a scene when it wasn't needed./p

Just like I told Claire here, I will explain everything when you all arrive. Just know you are not dead. Now why don't you go join her." You were shocked to say the least, they were your friends but they died months ago in a mission that failed. They were supposed to be in peace and not thrown into wherever she is, but Claire couldn't help but be glad to see them./p

Her death was always the hardest to go through, they were together since they were young fighting along side each other and one day Emma was just gone and she was just stuck in the world without her best friend. Claire wrapped her arms around Emma stomach being to short to actually hug her any other way, holding her tight as Emma did the same. Soon they let go Claire grinned at her before hugging Matthew and even Daniel through she didn't know him all to well. /p

Emma still had the bright red hair in a braid down her back, something simple when you had to get ready to fight daily. Claire used to yell at her all the time to where it down because it always looked prettier. Her light green eyes smiled down at her best friend, it was great to see her again. Matthew stood tall with his dark features, if you didn't know him would run away from him. His body was built like a man who has seen his years of fighting, muscle pouring from every place on his body as he easily towered over even the tallest one of them. Daniel looked almost delicate beside him but he was anything but. He was almost as tall as Matthew but he was lean, he used his skill and quickness to over due his enemies, something he was amazing at. His hair was a soft brown long for the time he was from, his eyes almost the shade of Dumbledore's./p

You all are dead, I mean I'm dead also but you all been dead months beside you Claire. I tried to warn you but it was to late. I'm sorry." Anne said sincerely, her real name was Joanne but no one had ever called her that. It was to long and impractical as she always said. Everything about Anne was practical to her short brown hair to the way she dressed in simple jeans and tea-shirt. You could tell she has been fighting for years just by those two facts, while the rest of the girls still had some slight hope it might end./p

It would be to much of a good thing if it was, Claire wouldn't care where she was if she had her sister back with her. But good this didn't happen often in her life and she couldn't be so sure./p

The two couldn't be more different in looks then each other. Where Samantha was tall, a blonde haired blue eyes beauty after their mother, Claire had the dark hair with eyes to match that took after their father. You could only tell they were siblings when they were mad, their innocent looking faces turned dangerous. Making grown men turn and run away from them. And sometimes by their very shy but hyper personality's, it never took to much to keep the two entertained./p

Holding onto her as if she was going to disappear from her, slight mumbles were sounded like 'I'm sorry' coming out of her mouth./p

The boys standing around them protectively. /p

A prophecy was made telling us you would be joining us during this time but didn't tell us your job or why. It's up for you decided your fate. Welcome to 1977."

It is very special and it is one of a kind. But you all tend to bend the rules so why should this be any different." Dumbledore calmly said looking at Claire unfazed by her harsh tones. The smaller group looked at each other trying to figure out if what he was saying could even be true./p

If what you are saying has any truth to it." Anne said causing everyone to look at her, she just rolled her eyes at them. "I mean think about it, the first war got so much worse in 1977. We know stuff that will happen, stuff that could stop it from going further on. And have you actually looked at the students. It fits to what I'm saying. The students match to the generations and they look like they did at that age." She explained always the voice of reason in the group./p

Anne said the words quietly but with everyone turned so fast to face them it was easy to figure out who they were talking about. There at the table by where Claire was sitting was a group of four boys who looked horribly familiar in ways they didn't want to. /p

It's the leading events up to it that makes it painful but the actually deed is just peacefully. Claire knew her body should be extremely sore from the battle, she could feel the blood running out of her, soaking her already red clothes. Be able to feel the fear and sorrow of the dead around her. But for the first time in years Claire felt peace before she fell to the floor joining the others to go where ever was next for her. She couldn't feel any pain for the first time since she was born./p

She tired to think of what happened, where she was but she couldn't her mind was drawing blanks. So instead Claire enjoyed it until it slowly started to lighten up, she couldn't guess where the light was coming from but it seemed to be all around her. Claire started to panic when she was able to feel her weight again and also the feeling of falling down but still she couldn't be sure with everything looking the same. She knew it was going to hurt when she hit the bottom and that wasn't something she wanted to do. Her screams started to fill the empty air and she seemed to be going faster and faster downwards to nothingness when she stopped./p

Slowly she reached down to her ankle to where she normally would find her wand to find it empty. Taking a deep breath she realized that she was defenseless and still to scared to open her eyes, she was an open target. Gaining her courage Claire got up from the floor to look around, knowing well enough to not show any fear to the people around her./p

Claire was in Hogwarts but it wasn't like her time where it was overthrown by The Dark Lord. Where in her time everything was green and sliver, the banners across the ceiling, the students robes. The ceiling didn't have magic you could see the beams of Hogwarts where now it showed what it was outdoors. A dark sky, with stars dotted around in a random fashion, making it seem like you were outdoors and maybe you be able to actually touch the sky. And the biggest difference in everything instead of a throne for The Dark Lord to sit and watch over his followers was a long table, a line of people who were killed when she was still young sitting there. /p

Might as well actually take it all it, and even if this was death in was a better then her world so she could deal with it./p

Glad you could join us, Welcome to Hogwarts." A voice said making her turn to the table once again to see an older man. He was standing in front of the long table as if he was waiting for Claire. He was tall, that was clear with a long white beard almost to his lower stomach tired with a orange bow which matched the robes he was wearing. He had a slight smile on his lips like you was enjoying watching Claire. Nothing about him screamed danger but Claire couldn't help but to step back. Everyone knew of Albus Dumbledore and his death, he was supposed to be this great wizard but Claire couldn't help but blame him for the wars. He brought The Dark Lord into her world where he murdered thousands and gave him pity, how could he not see that he was evil./p

Claire asked her voice sharp when she looked at him waiting for an answer. She wanted to know why she would come here because if she wanted to go to someplace peaceful this would be the last place she would end up was some school. /p

Beside Harry Potter, of course but that was a one time thing he was dead now when the second curse came flying at him. Maybe he was just trying to mess with her. Claire moved to the side of the room covered in red and gold, she couldn't remember what the house name was but many people she knew generations ago came from that house. Maybe she should of paid more attention to everyone when they were talking about Hogwarts. Jumping up she sat one the window ledge and looked out the window watching the sky. Claire could feel the eyes on her but she was used to it by now, she always had the habit of making a scene when it wasn't needed./p

Just like I told Claire here, I will explain everything when you all arrive. Just know you are not dead. Now why don't you go join her." You were shocked to say the least, they were your friends but they died months ago in a mission that failed. They were supposed to be in peace and not thrown into wherever she is, but Claire couldn't help but be glad to see them./p

Her death was always the hardest to go through, they were together since they were young fighting along side each other and one day Emma was just gone and she was just stuck in the world without her best friend. Claire wrapped her arms around Emma stomach being to short to actually hug her any other way, holding her tight as Emma did the same. Soon they let go Claire grinned at her before hugging Matthew and even Daniel through she didn't know him all to well. /p

Emma still had the bright red hair in a braid down her back, something simple when you had to get ready to fight daily. Claire used to yell at her all the time to where it down because it always looked prettier. Her light green eyes smiled down at her best friend, it was great to see her again. Matthew stood tall with his dark features, if you didn't know him would run away from him. His body was built like a man who has seen his years of fighting, muscle pouring from every place on his body as he easily towered over even the tallest one of them. Daniel looked almost delicate beside him but he was anything but. He was almost as tall as Matthew but he was lean, he used his skill and quickness to over due his enemies, something he was amazing at. His hair was a soft brown long for the time he was from, his eyes almost the shade of Dumbledore's./p

You all are dead, I mean I'm dead also but you all been dead months beside you Claire. I tried to warn you but it was to late. I'm sorry." Anne said sincerely, her real name was Joanne but no one had ever called her that. It was to long and impractical as she always said. Everything about Anne was practical to her short brown hair to the way she dressed in simple jeans and tea-shirt. You could tell she has been fighting for years just by those two facts, while the rest of the girls still had some slight hope it might end./p

I was going to die eventually. I'm guessing you were one of the last to go?" Claire wondered. She always looked up to Anne she was tough and never gave in to anything, she was a lot of the people role model./p

I got hurt about an hour before and slowly died. But I watched everything else, we only had a few left and I told them to run and to go into hiding there was only like three left." Anne told them when Mark and Emma decided to actually join them, their hands intertwined./p

Both with the red hair and light eyes, but Mark where blue instead. Both were the same height and almost the same personality. It really seemed like they married themselves sometimes. /p

Claire teased a smile on her as she nodded to Mark glad to see him again. He was helpful when they mourned the loss of Emma together, which meant many late nights crying their eyes out and eating ice cream until they passed out./p

He just simple shook his head a twinkle in his eyes as he continued to eat./p

Anne cooed ruffing up his hair while everyone laughed at him when he just still looked around confused before crossing his arms to glare at all of laughter quickly stopped when another crack was echoed by the huge room, causing the group to search the room looking for the new person arrival. /p

They could still see her blood stain on the floor no matter how many times they tired to clean it off. She wasn't meant to be a fighter, she was the healer of the group and they were supposed to protect her./p

Claire voice shook as she said the name of her younger sister, unsure if it actually could be her. It would be to much of a good thing if it was, Claire wouldn't care where she was if she had her sister back with her. But good this didn't happen often in her life and she couldn't be so sure./p

The two couldn't be more different in looks then each other. Where Samantha was tall, a blonde haired blue eyes beauty after their mother, Claire had the dark hair with eyes to match that took after their father. You could only tell they were siblings when they were mad, their innocent looking faces turned dangerous. Making grown men turn and run away from them. And sometimes by their very shy but hyper personality's, it never took to much to keep the two entertained./p

Holding onto her as if she was going to disappear from her, slight mumbles were sounded like 'I'm sorry' coming out of her mouth./p

But you are not dead. You have died in your time and bought to ours. A time where most of you were born original but you were not this time around so you can come back as your older selves. A prophecy was made telling us you would be joining us during this time but didn't tell us your job or why. It's up for you decided your fate. Welcome to 1977."

It is very special and it is one of a kind. But you all tend to bend the rules so why should this be any different." Dumbledore calmly said looking at Claire unfazed by her harsh tones. The smaller group looked at each other trying to figure out if what he was saying could even be true./p

If what you are saying has any truth to it." Anne said causing everyone to look at her, she just rolled her eyes at them. "I mean think about it, the first war got so much worse in 1977. We know stuff that will happen, stuff that could stop it from going further on. And have you actually looked at the students. It fits to what I'm saying. The students match to the generations and they look like they did at that age." She explained always the voice of reason in the group./p

Anne said the words quietly but with everyone turned so fast to face them it was easy to figure out who they were talking about. There at the table by where Claire was sitting was a group of four boys who looked horribly familiar in ways they didn't want to. /p
