The Beginning

Harry sighed. He and his two best friends, Ron and Hermione were going into their seventh year at Hogwarts. Even though they were eighteen they had been too busy with the war that ended a year ago, when they were seventeen, to go to school. Also, the school wasn't safe that year because Death Eaters were the teachers. So, right now Harry was waiting for them to come down so they could go start their seventh year. Harry just hoped nothing crazy was going to happen to them this year at Hogwarts, like all the other years.

Harry started to get worried about Ron and Hermione, so he called up to them. He got no answer. Then he went up there himself. As he got to their room he heard a buzzing sound from Ron's room. When he got to the door, he heard annoyed muttering. Harry opened the door and the sight that met his eye made him laugh. Ron was rubbing his head and cursing at something on the ground while Hermione was examining it with her wand and eyes. When they heard his laughing, they looked up and scowled at him in annoyance.

"Harry, stop laughing. This is serious!" Ron said, pointing at the thing on the ground. Hermione nodded in agreement. That was when Harry took a good look at the thing on the ground. It looked like a box with pink smoke around it. It was pretty big and looked heavy. Harry got curious and touched the box. There was a blinding flash and poof of green smoke. The green wasn't an emerald green like his eyes, but it was pretty. When the smoke and light cleared there was a note. The parchment was black with red writing. It read:

Dear Ron, Harry, and Hermione,

I know you wanted a peaceful year and all, but we, The Fates, have decided differently. I will not tell you where we will be sending you. Harry, you might hate it or love it. Hermione, you will love it and worry at the same time. Ron, you will be confused.

Yours truly,

The Fates

After Harry read it, there was a blinding flash and they appeared in a familiar room. It looked different then it had before because it is the Room of Requirement. All three of them stared at one another. Then they started arguing over whose fault it was. They never even noticed the four people in old-fashioned clothes staring at them with their mouths open.

The two men and two women were eating breakfast in what is the Great Hall. Their names were Salazar Slythrien, Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, and Rowena Ravenclaw. It was summer at the school they taught at, "Hogwarts", so no students could be seen.

They did their morning ritual of patrolling the school for anything suspicious. The were walking on the seventh floor when they saw that the Room of Requirement's door had appeared when they knew no one was in there. All four of them took out their wands and opened the door. The sight that met them was the weirdest they have ever seen. There were three teenagers in the room arguing about something so fiercely that didn't notice them at all.

Godric cleared his throat loudly, catching the attention of three teenagers. They stared at each other for a while then the strangers asked "Who the are you?"

Rowena stepped forward and said, "My name is Rowena Ravenclaw." The bushy haired girl gasped, but motioned for us all to continue. Rowena continued, "These are my companions Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slythrien. Now that we have introduced ourselves, can you do the same?"

The bushy haired girl spoke first, "Before we tell you our name can you tell us the year?" Salazar said, "It is the summer of 1099." The strangers gasped and the girl said, "This may come as a surprise, but we are from the future. 1999 to be exact." Godric responded with, "We can settle that problem later but can you tell us you names?"

"Oh, Right sorry," the girl in the group said, "My name is Hermione Granger. My companions can introduce themselves." The orange haired boy said, "My name is Ron Weasely." Then Ron turned to the black haired boy expecting him to say his name. The black haired boy said, "And my name is Harry Potter."

Helga then said, "Do you even know how you got here?"

Hermione said, "Well Ron and I were in his room and then this box fell on Ron's head. Harry came in and touched the box and a note appeared saying that they were sending us somewhere. The Fates signed the note. Then there was a flash of light and we found ourselves in this room."

"That is interesting." Rowena said. Suddenly there was a muffled curse and a thud behind them. They all looked to see Salazar on the ground with a box on his chest. Godric started to laugh and Ron joined him. Rowena went to him and asked him if he was all right. He said he was fine and got up.

Then they turned their attention to the box and saw it open. Inside were books. Hermione picked up the first one. She read: "Harry Potter And The Sorceress Stone." Harry groaned "There is a book about our first year?" Hermione giggled and said that it was from his point of view. Harry banged his head against the wall and said to read the Chapter title. She then read, "The Boy Who Lived" and Harry groaned again.

Helga asked "Why are you banging your head on the wall and groaning?" Hermione answered with "He doesn't like his fame." Salazar then spoke up "Are we going to read or not?" Then they looked at Harry and he said to go ahead and start reading and that it would be weird reading his thoughts.

Hermione picked up the book and started reading.
