Disclaimer: This is a Wicked/Harry Potter crossover and yes it' been done before, but no one has bothered to keep them going, it's quite annoying, buy I promise to keep it going as long as people are interested. I don't own anything, no characters, no places, no nothing! There we go
Chapter One: prologue
"Galinda?" Elphaba whispered softly in her companion's ear, who looked up in response, "Where are we going?" She asked, still quietly but not in Galinda's ear,
"Well, from what I've heard…" Galinda started,
"Or rather what you picked up whilst eavesdropping?" Elphaba pointed out, interrupting her bubbly blonde friend,
"Fine!" Galinda exclaimed irritably, "From what I eavesdropped we are going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" Elphaba still looked confused,
"And why?"
"Well, apparently, the ten of us have shown the best progress in sorcery class, so they are moving us here, so we can pursue it further." Galinda said knowingly, she was happy tat she was answering the questions for once, instead of asking them, "Now, Elphaba tell me," Galinda said professionally, "Does my hair look okay?"
Elphaba sighed somewhat dramatically, "Galinda, you know you always look perfect."
"I know, it's just nice to hear you say it!" Galinda said happily kissing the person she had come to love on the cheek, Elphaba smiled at her and took her hand in her own green one and whispered lightly in Galinda's ear, "I love you" to which Galinda started to squeal happily, it was rather lucky it was only two to a train compartment.
Suddenly the train shuddered to a halt, breaking the two girls out of their reverie, and Madame Morrible came bundling in their compartment, the girls separated almost immediately,
"Ah girls, girls," The headmistress said somewhat breathlessly, "Now you are two of ten representing my school, I hope you make me proud and oh, have fun and learn a lot." The with that she swiftly left, most likely going to give the other girls the same 'pep-talk'
Galinda and Elphaba smiled warmly at each other, before leaving the compartments (Their luggage apparently being sent straight to their room).
"Are you ready?" Elphaba asked Galinda who looked at the looming castle over-looking a lake,
"Yeah, I think so, but what if they don't me?" Galinda said, looking up at Elphaba pleading,
"Don't be stupid, everyone adores you!" Elphaba said, taking the small blonde in her arms, "Including me" She told her love softly, "Now think of me, I've got to go through the whole pointing and staring thing again, not to mention crossing that thing," She motioned to the river, "It that thing!" The pointing to the rather small sailing boat that was floating nearby,
"Yes, Elphie, you're right" Galinda said, removing herself from Elphaba's arm and taking her hands, "But at least this time, you have me!" She said pointing to herself dramatically,
"Alrigh' now girls!" A loud, booming voice broke their little conversation, Elphaba and Galinda looked over to the source of the voice to see and very large man, with a bushy beard and matching long hair, Galinda looked slightly dazed, "Now, ta get ta tha' castle over thar, ya gotta travel across this 'ere lake in pairs, so ev'ryone, choose yar pairs, quickly now!" he instructed, he has a kind persona which seemed to relax Galinda, she felt a tug at her arm,
"Come on, let's get this over with" Elphaba said, the prospect of crossing that lake seemed daunting to her,
"Oh yar," The large man said, "Ma name is 'Agrid, I am tha' Gamekeeper 'ere at 'ogwarts, plus I teach the Care Fa' Magical Creatures Class, Now Off we go, to tha feast!"
And off they set, to this new school, a new opportunity.
