I do not own Harry Potter. No copyright intended. Nieve, Nadia and Rachel are my OC's and there may be a few others later, but everything else is from Harry Potter.

Chapter 1

"Well I want to re-read this one" said Nadia picking up Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban "oh and the next one..."

Soon Nadia had almost all the Harry Potter books in her hand, minus the second one which she didn't like as much because of Gilderoy Lockhart.

"You can't read all of those over summer; you'll have no time to do your homework!"

"But..." Nadia wrapped her arms around the books tightly, as if they were her children and her voice grew quiet, as she attempted to find a reason why she should be able to borrow almost all of Nieve's Harry Potter books. "They're so good and my brother lost mine."

Rachel gave a small splutter of laughter at Nadia's comment. "That's a great argument Nadia."

"Indeed" said Nieve, her blue eyes narrowing on, Nadia's large brown ones.

Nadia let out a small cry. "Don't take them from me! Don't ta-"

Nadia stopped speaking and the books began to slip out of her loosened grip.

"Careful Nadia" Rachel caught Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix that had just fallen out of her hand, but Nadia wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention.

"What's that?" She asked pointing. At the lift of her arm, more of the books fell, this time crashing on to the floor.

Nieve and Rachel both turned to face the way Nadia was looking.

"Holy shit" gasped Nieve staring. "It's that… time thing" Rachel nodded in agreement although no one saw.

"Time thing?" asked Nadia curiously. As far as Nadia was concerned she'd never seen anything like it. There was a long thin crack running along the wall and slowly, more dazzling bright light was spilling out of it and passing over the room.

"Step back, crack in time" ordered Rachel in a low deep voice that sounded very different to her normal one. Nieve moved back and Rachel did too. But Nadia bent down in front of her attempting to shove her books to the back of the room.

"Nadia" hissed Nieve, trying to get her to move away.

"I'm trying to-" her words cut off and the light passed over her, with her hands clutching the Harry Potter book she treasured the most.

Nieve and Rachel stared for moment at the horrific scene.

"She's gone." whispered Nieve in total disbelief, staring at the spot that was once her blonde haired friend.

There was a moment of silence and then Rachel looked at Nieve her eyes filled with panic "we're going to be erased!"

Their bodies jolted into action and they scrambled away, but they were trapped. The light had passed over the steps leading out of Rachel's attic bedroom and without thinking both the girls jumped up desperately rushed to the window.

The light got them then, as they were running, but instead of dying they crashed into something scratchy, blue and hairy.

"Arghhhhhhh!" The hairy thing and Nieve screamed together.

Then the hairy thing stepped back. It had legs... and arms… and blonde hair.

"Nadia" said Rachel after a second.

The blue, hairy thing turned out to be Nadia's Mohair jumper that basically drowned her because she was so small.

"Where are we?" Nieve slowly looked around and everyone else's eyes also flittered about the room. They could see random objects from Rachel's room and they found they were in a small circular room with stone walls and 3 beds next to each other. At the end of each bed was a trunk.

"What the…" whispered Nieve.

Then they blinked again and found that they'd all seemed to have shifted slightly across the room and this time on the beds they could see something blue and then in less than a second the scene changed again.

Suddenly there was a flash of emerald green and what appeared to be professor McGonagall and then once again the scene had shifted.

Rachel breathed out slowly "What the actual fuck?"

The three girls stared nervously at each other.

A knock came at the door.

"Girls" The woman speaking had a strong Scottish accent. "Girls, I will be coming to get you to introduce you after the sorting so make sure you've got your robes on and are ready to represent your school."

Then they heard the footsteps flurrying away quickly and sounds of talking in the distance.

"Was that Professor McGonagall?" Nadia asked in disbelief.

"Umm…" Said Rachel slowly "err…"

"Our school?" asked Nieve quietly looking around the room for some indication of what their school was. Her thoughts were quickly answered by Nadia squealing and attempting to tear off her clothes.

"What are you doing?" asked Nieve, as Nadia dropped her jumper on the bed and began to pull of her vest top underneath.

"Getting changed" said Nadia as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"What?" asked Rachel, looking at her like she was mental.

"This!" The girl pulled an enormously large grin that seemed too big for her face and held up a blue dress that had been lying on the bed. "Beauxbatons!"

"Oh…" said Nieve still in shock after everything and then slowly looked to the other beds. Sure enough laid down on each was a pale blue dress made from a silky fabric, a pair of skin coloured tights and at the foot of each bed by black trunks, were a pair of small blue shoes.

"Wrong one!" announced Nadia cheerfully, switching over to the next bed, and pulling on that dress instead of the one that she had been holding on to before. "That one was yours Rachel."

"Okay then" said Rachel walking over but she didn't make a move to put on the dress. Instead she just stared at it in utter disbelief.

Once Nadia had finished changing, Nieve and Rachel crept to the door and they opened it slightly peering out into the corridor.

Across almost every inch of wall were moving portraits all engrossed in conversation and then at the end of the corridor was a boy with dark hair. They stared , as the boy with glasses walked along. Behind him was another boy with ginger hair and next to the tall ginger haired boy was a girl with frizzy brown hair.

"The golden trio" breathed Rachel and Nieve and then they swung the door shut.

"What did you see?" asked Nadia who was rifling through a black trunk.

"Nothing" said Rachel quickly, worried that Nadia might jump up and run screaming down the corridor after the group.

"Right, we better err get changed" said Nieve staring back at the uniforms. She walked slowly over to the bed and began changing into the dress, with her face showing a fixed expression of shock.

After a bit, they all changed and then came to the conclusion that they needed to clear up the 'strange objects' in the room aka Rachel's possessions. Nadia quickly grabbed the Harry Potter book and shoved it in her trunk and the other girls proceeded to shove as many things as they could into their trunks.

There were a lot of books as it seemed that Rachel's entire book shelf had been eaten up by the light. They all stuffed as many of them as they could into their trunks and bags, which they had also discovered on the corner of each of the beds.

Nieve was too confused to comment on the fact that Nadia had stolen one of her Harry Potter books but found that there were two others that had also not escaped the light. She shoved one of them into her trunk, hoping it wouldn't be discovered and gave the other to Rachel as she discovered she no longer had any space left.

None of them were really sure what to do with the lamp that was lying broken on the floor, but Rachel had very quickly snatched up her laptop and placed it in the trunk. Nieve would have been somewhat comforted by the fact she had her phone in her jeans that was now in the trunk but she somehow got the feeling that it wouldn't be working anytime soon.

They found that every once in a while they blinked and then suddenly they seemed to be magically transported around the room and less of the objects were on the floor and more in their bags.

They sat down on the beds after, trying to gather their thoughts. Whatever was going on was extremely weird. Nadia didn't really seem to mind because she was fangirling too much to even really begin to understand fully what was happening. Rachel was telling herself furiously in her head that she was definitely asleep and Nieve didn't really know what to think. Many different theories had crossed through her mind, but the one that kept coming back, was that she'd gone completely insane. She attempted to cast away the thought unsuccessfully, but it seemed quite likely somehow.

After half an hour that had involved mysteriously changing positions a few times and Rachel and Nieve explaining to Nadia about what cracks in time were in Doctor Who, they heard a knock at the door.

"Girls, are you ready?" came the sound of the woman with the Scottish accent.

The group all eyeballed the door, as the doorknob slowly turned and the door opened. There in front of them was a woman dressed in an emerald green cloak.

"Come on then!" she said, ushering them out of the room.
