I do not own the Worldwalker Trilogy to Harry Potter. So what are you waiting for? Read and enjoy!

Rowan had tried many things. Yet in the end here I was. Tied to to the stake, in a pyre burning, because I'm a witch, and witches burn.

Pain has a strange effect. It heightens every sense until the world around you feels like a part of you. I could feel the splinters in the wood digging into my skin and the breeze raising my pyre up into the sky. Then I could feel the witch wind howling around me and the blazing tower of mage light - created because of the excess power of transferring heat into pure energy.

I gathered more and more heat, turning it into energy, because I wanted to be safe. To be safe I needed to be far away - a world away. However there were two problems. My body's pain was holding me here as surely as the shackles were holding me to the stake. And Rowan was panicking.

\What are you DOING Lily?! You can't hold that much! I swear if you die on me I'm bringing you back to murder you! Don't you dare leave me!\

\ Shush, Rowan. I know what I'm doing but I need you to be quiet. \

So I jumped past my body and Rowan and into the worldfoam. What I needed was a place so far away that Lillian could not find me, so she wouldn't hurt my loved ones because it wouldn't matter. She's not spiteful enough to kill them just because I'm gone. So I wandered far, and then farther away, until finally, I came across a place so filled with love for me in a concentrated area, that it outshone the universes around it. It would be a perfect place to hide.

So I pulled the key to universes through my willstones. With the great energy of it they jump around and almost crack, and then I come back to myself for a time. Rowan, relieved to finally hear my thoughts again, bursts into my mind.

\What were you doing Lily? That took you twenty minutes! \

I simply nod happily or I try to, but then exhaustion taking over my head droops and my eyes close. The only way I stayed awake was through pure force of will. Then all of a sudden, Rowan stands next to me and the fire gives one last roar.

\Lily! Come on, Lil-\

And with that we went flying through the worldfoam, and as we went I used more and more of the force given to me by the pyre and I realised there was too much, I wasn't going to use it all! So I used more force pulling us towards my lighthouse. Then I created a shield for our physical bodies. No nasties were going to kill us when we popped out of nowhere.

Then, we landed. Rather spectacularly.

By spectacularly I mean like a miniature comet blazing into a room. The only reason no one was hurt in the process, was that I used quite a bit of the potential energy to turn the air around us solid, which both lessened the blast and protected those outside the shield. Rowan and I weren't harmed since the energy technically came from us.

To say that I could have heard a pin drop was an understatement. To say that there was then screaming was the honest truth. Well, considering there was a big, firery, red - gold ball with turquoise and white streaks through it, that suddenly appeared in the fashion of a miniature asteroid... I couldn't really blame anyone. Just, got to say though... Apparently in this universe magic has colour. Take note, and figure it out in the future 'cause right now, well we got a problem.

"SILENCE!" Oh dear.

\Rowan... I think we need to evaluate the danger without making anyone... Any angrier than they already are. Oh and no murdering please.\

\Thats probably a good idea Lily. And whenever we have time you're explaining to me everything that has happened here.\

I decided to forego answering him in favour of working on stabilising our situation. Outside everyone had listened to loud voice and there was yet again silence, this time with an air of tension, rather than shock. I allowed a small hole of the air around to return to its natural state. I then took a deep breath.

" Hello. I'm sorry for the damage we must have caused. Let me say, that was an accident. We would like to leave the, uh, ball. Is there any chance we could so, without being murdered or harmed?" What can I say? With that entrance there was little else to do.

"You certainly have a way with words."

"Rowan! Hush! I'm trying to make peace with the people! If you have any better ideas you can do it." A niggling little problem occurred to me. "You... Are people out there right? And you can speak English?"

A very droll voice answered my questions. The same one from earlier. "Yes, we are human, we speak English and if you are, as you say, 'trying to make peace', you can leave the ball without harm. Just no more bomb impersonations, and an explanation, please?"

"Seems perfectly doable. Oh, but do you know what the ball is? I don't and created it, Rowan, do you know?"

"I believed they asked for an explanation, and it might be, just might be more polite to get out of the ball-thing and answer them, before bombarding them with more questions."

"On it now, cap'n." So I began deconstructing my ball, and then we were before the people. It was a bit uncomfortable so I got on with the explanation.

"Okay, so this is Rowan." Rowan waved. I stifled my giggle and moved on. "We magically travelled from his universe to yours. His universe is quite far away and took a lot of energy. There was extra left over, hence the explosion and protective ball. We would have landed in the same area in this world as we were in that one but yet again, excess energy and I pulled us here with so much force that we were pulled right to you. To travel between universes you follow the light of people who love versions of you. Quite a lot of people in this room love or loved a version of me, who I believe is dead. Hmm, what else... Oh yeah! The reason we went to this much trouble is because my evil counterpart of his universe was trying to kill us and our loved ones. We're the only ones she wants, so we decided to get as far away as possible. Phew, that was long winded!"

As I was now semi-sure I would not be killed, I relaxed and took in my surroundings. Any other time I would have been shocked, but too much had happened today. The roof appeared to be missing and was replaced with the night sky. The candles were floating, which I observed with detatched amusement. We were in some sort of medieval style eating hall, with wooden tables. There was a raised dais at one end with the important table.

The people were wearing robes. All of them. The people ranged from young to old but on the dias it leaned more towards the old. In fact it looked rather like a school lunch setup.

Rowan leaned over towards me. "In all that only you could manage to forget your name." He was trying not to laugh. I gave him a look that clearly said, 'later I will beat you to a pulp with my hands' but he just smirked at me.

"So as mister snootypants here has reminded me let's start again. Hello, I am eighteen years old and my name is Lily."
