Chapter One – Biforis Alohomora Regnum

A brunette girl smiled with deep interest as she talked to Oliver Wood. "So Oliver, what are you doing tonight?"
Her friend sitting next to her glanced up from her copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, raising an eyebrow. "Uhh...what are you doing Katie?"
"Talking to Oliver!" she said as if this needed no explanation.
"...He's a plastic figurine!" the other girl, Grace, blurted out.
Katie, who was holding a Mattel version of Gryffindor's keeper Oliver Wood on her knee, immediately covered his little plastic ears with her hands. "Don't listen to her Oliver!" she cried in shock. She turned back to Grace. "You know I could make him real…" she said darkly.
"Oh, come off it, you're not that powerful." Grace said, rolling her eyes. She looked around them at the lounge room floor, which was covered in junk food, Harry Potter books, but mainly, Katie's Wiccan spell books and equipment. "I think we should clean this space up. Tamara's going to get here any second and there's hardly a clean space for her to sit in." she said, referring to their other Potter-mad friend.

They spent the next few minutes picking up empty wrappers and piling the Wiccan stuff into a neat heap. The second, third, fourth Potter novels and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them and Quidditch Through the Ages still lay spread out on the floor. Katie was quietly reading out loud from one of her Latin textbooks while Grace quietly read from Philosopher's Stone, particularly the part when the trio had accidentally stumbled into the third floor corridor.
"Biforis-" Katie muttered.
"Alohomora!" Grace imitated Hermione.
"-Regnum." Said Katie.
A small sound like fire crackling and spitting reached their ears and they looked up from their books with void expressions. "Is something burning?" Grace asked Katie.
"Do you see smoke?" Katie asked sarcastically.
Grace pointed to the copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which lay behind Katie. "Yes." She said with a worried look, and sure enough, the novel was engulfed in black smoke. Suddenly, it burst into green and gold flames, which shot across the floor and united with Goblet of Fire. The two girls looked at each other in alarm.
"What on earth did you say!?!" Grace cried.
"ME? What did you say!?!" Katie yelled.
"I read out the spell Hermione says to unlock doors!"

By now, the flames on Goblet of Fire had created another stream of fire with Quidditch Through the Ages, forming the point of a pentacle.
"I said 'biforis' which is Latin for having two doors or openings, then 'regnum' which means realm!" Katie exclaimed. Another line of fire connected with Chamber of Secrets.
Something clicked in their little minds. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Katie asked Grace.
"I think I am." Grace nodded as the flames on Chamber of Secrets sped across to Fantastic Beasts. "Great, we created a new spell and, in doing so, unlocked the two doors or an opening that separates our worlds…or realm. You opened a portal." She accused.
"You did it too!" Katie protested.
The fire was connected between all the books, except for the last link from Fantastic Beasts back to Prisoner of Azkaban. The books had accidentally been spread out like the five points of a star when they had been absent-mindedly moved and shuffled around on the lounge room floor. Katie and Grace looked at the magical fire on Fantastic Beasts, which was threatening to jump across and join Prisoner of Azkaban.

"It's okay guys! I can ring the fire brigade!" said a voice. Tamara had arrived and was standing in the doorway with her mobile phone. "Quick! What's the number for triple zero!?!" The other two just looked at her and raised an eyebrow each, then cried "How can you expect us to think, Tam!?! We're stuck in this nearly finished portal if you haven't realised yet!"
"But I just got here!" Tam cried, "Where are you going?"
"We don't know!" Grace cried, exasperated.
Tam's jaw hit the floor. "I am so coming with you!" she cried and was just about to join them in the centre of the nearly formed pentacle when Katie cried, "No, wait! Tam, go and find some money around the house, we might need it wherever we're going." She looked around. "And get our jackets, and bags, it might be cold…and maybe some chocolate-"
"Yeah, we need chocolate." Grace agreed.
"And a pillow for me," Katie continued. "I just hate it when I wake up after travelling and my neck is really sore. And we'll be taking this." She said, holding up the spell book in her hand.

Tam darted frantically around the house gathering everything, then came back into the lounge room and dumped everything into the other's laps. Suddenly, the last link shot across to join the last book so quickly, the pentacle of fire shook and turned a bright blue.
"Quick, Tam! Jump in!" Katie cried in a panic.
Tam jumped in and, with a blindingly bright flash, the three girls and everything inside the pentacle disappeared, leaving slight scorch marks where the books had rested.
