(A/N: this is when Harry, Ron, Hermione (well most of their year) all come back for their 7th year that they missed/didn't get good enough schooling. On with the story! Full A/N at end)

Max's Point of View

Ugh why JUST WHY DID IGGY TAKE THAT MYSTERIOUS OBJECT. Now we are somewhere else and WHO IS THAT GIANT EXCUSE FOR A MAN THAT'S WALKING TOWARD US?

"Hey kids what're doin' out here? Dinners ins- Wait, I don't recognize you guys."

"Well um... Sir my friend here touched a mysterious object and suddenly we're here." I manage to say.

"Just follow me kids and McGonagall will deal with you."

Okay what. Just .Happened. Who is McGonagall? And what threats or dangers are here?

"Guys, get ready to do an up and away at any second ok?" I whisper to Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Dylan. The only people that either haven't died or left.

"K Max will do." Dylan whispers back.

"Shut the hell up Dylan." I say as I flinch away from him.

Suddenly we are met by a giant building that is HUGE andI almost every room is lit. As we walk up a pebble walkway, I stare up at the floating candles that line it. The man opens these huge doors that look like they're made of wood, but glisten like metal.

We walk through the foyer which is, by the way, ginormous and has a really really high ceiling.

We walk through another door and are met with this HUGE ROOM that instead of a ceiling, has the night sky.

"Wow" I hear Gazzy whisper.

The whole room has a total of four loooooooong tables that are full of kids. What is this? A private school?

Ron's POV

Bloody hell, that quidditch practice was terrible. At least I have Hermione with me.

I look over at her. She looks so innocent, just sitting there reading some book for muggle studies.

Suddenly, the doors open and Hagrid walks in followed by kids I've never seen before.

Professor Mcgonagal ask him who these kids are and why are they here. The tallest girl looks like she's 16-17 or something.

She has long brown hair and lots of muscles. How did she get them? Is she like apart of a gang or is she one of those Aurors. The tall boy next to her has a frustrated kind of look on his face. He has short blonde hair and the face of a model.

Then the girl, who I'm assuming is the leader starts to talk.

"I'm Maximum Ride, but you can just call me Max, this is Dylan. The tall boy with the strawberry blonde hair is Iggy. The short one is Gazzy. And this," she wraps an arm around the dark skinned girl, "is Nudge. Um... We kinda got teleported here by a strange object that someone touched." said 'Maximum'.

"Ok well you might just want to stay here until we can actually figure out what happened. For right now you may stay in my house, Gyrffindor, since it has the most room for your age. The younger ones," she gestures to 'Gazzy' and 'Nudge' may stay in Hufflepuff." McGonagall told them politely.

"What?! No way. We're a flock, we stick together. Always." Maxmum practically yelled at her. Everyone's eyes widened as they looked back at one of the most strict professors here.

"Well Maximum, we don't have enough space for all of you in one dorm."

"I. Don't. Care. You can kick this guy out." She jabbed a finger in that guy Dylan's direction. "I don't care what happens to him. But us four stick together." she wraps both arms around Nudge, Gazzy and Iggy.

"Maximum Ride. You, Iggy and Dylan will be in Gyrffindor. Nudge and," she paused and slightly grimaced before saying, "Gazzy will stay in Hufflepuff. You will be able to see them every day, except for early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Does that sound okay?"

She scowled and stared at the floor. Then she practically growled "Yes ma'am. Where will we sit?"

"You and Dylan will sit at that table and Nudge and Gazzy will sit at that table."

Max's POV

Wait what? As I turn around, a group of kids wave me and the idiot over.

"Hi I'm Hermione, this is Ron and that black-haired boy whose glaring at me is Harry."

"Ahem, 'mione you forgot me!" Says a ginger haired young girl who looks just like 'Ron'. "I'm Ginny. Nice to meet you"

"Hi there" Greets Harry

"Hey" Grunts Ron

"Hi. I'm Max, which you probably heard and this." I put as much bite as I can into what I'm saying, "Is Dylan."

I sit down next to Ginny and scowl at Dylan. Hopefully he gets the message to 'fuck off'. He does and slides under the table to sit next to Hermione and Ron. I then grab Iggy's hand and basically pull him next to me.

"Iggy, sit here, next to me."

I look at the table, which is filled with food. Then around the room until I find Nudge and Gazzy. When I do, I see them already having a good time. Great. Well it's not polite to eat with a jacket on, and this place seems like a crackpot place already, so I stand and take my windbreaker off and stretch my wings out. As I do, literally everyone stops and stares.

"What?" I ask self-consciously.

Then everyone goes back to eating as if a winged girl wasn't the least of their worries.

"Woah. You have wings? You can fly without a broom?" Asks Ron

Ginny grins, "Well duh Ronald. These look like genuine feathers. She wouldn't just wear a set of fake wings around for 'fun' now would she? But seriously can you? Fly without a broom? Like a bird I guess?"

"Yeah..? A broom? Like what you sweep with?"

"You mean you don't know what a broom is?"

Iggy bursts in full of questions.

"A broom? So like magic? Or just play?"

The four look uncomfortable. Ginny speaks first " Yep! Just like magic. Just one question though."

"Yeah sure." I reply.

"Do you guys have wands? Or can do magic? Because if you can't, we can show you! Some magic I mean."

"No we don't have wands and can't do magic. You might just have to describe it because a. Iggy can't see, he's blind and b. we're eating so.."

"Oh! I didn't know sorry. But there's gotta be a spell or potion that can fix that, right Hermione?" Ginny says.

"Yeah there's a potion, but it's a little tricky and I haven't tried it before. I wouldn't want to mess up and accidentally do something that could hurt you Iggy."

"No no, it's fine. I'm used to it. Being blind I mean." He chuckles nervously.

So everyone! This is a new chapter one! I've rewritten it, as you can tell. But the story line will be the same, just either worded differently or fixed. Please like and review! It will be appreciated! Or make a suggestion for me to add, comment about a mistake I made.
