(A/N/ Disclaimer: I don't own any thing so stop asking. Ok, here is the deal, so I have been reading a few Harry Potter Maximum Ride crossovers lately and to be blunt I think they kick ass and I had to write this. If you think I am stealing your idea then I am sorry but since you don't own Harry or Max then I am entitled to do whatever I want with them too. Don't complain to me or else my reviews will get quite nasty.)
Ok so it's been a year since we destroyed Itex I am fifteen now as are Fang and Iggy. Things have been going really great! We tried school for a little while but we just couldn't be around people. The younger kids were getting beat up all the time because even at that age kids notice when others don't belong. They were hurting so I decided to quit too in protest. (No one was going to mess with my Flock without repercussions from me!) Iggy was always being mocked by the students or the teachers were being condescending so he dropped out and obviously Fang didn't want to be in a school full of girls fawning over him so he left too.
The whole process took about six months. After that we decided to travel. By now we have been all over the U.S and México and are now flying to England.
We haven't been to Europe since the girls went to dismantle Itex. I was pretty excited now to go now that we weren't worried about dieing and Fang and I were together. Wait…err…I mean the Flock was back together. I don't mean that Fang and I were together! We aren't! And Fang wasn't the only reason I didn't like Europe before, I was worried about Gazzy and Iggy too, so stop saying I like Fang!
Anyway, we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean Maximum Ride Airways. We discovered a few months back that if we wanted to go really fast, the flock could hang onto me while I super-speeded it. This was how we got halfway across the Atlantic Ocean in thirty minutes. That was when I decided that if I were to go any further, I would pass out, so I got out my handy dandy caffeine gum. Damn I loved this stuff! Five pieces had the caffeine of a large Starbucks! And since we have a different blood type then humans we are affected a little bit differently. I would say we were like the Energizer bunny but the last time I overdosed on caffeine I wore him out.
That gave me enough energy to finish the Atlantic in twenty minutes.
Ok guys we are here!" I yelled back to my family. We were on some beach at the edge of England I could see a small inn nearby and we were coming up on it fast. "I think we should get a room at this place so we'll have the energy to sight see and photograph." With that I down graded to normal speed. I felt Iggy let go of my foot and pullback. I watched as the rest of the Flock landed all around me.
We walked up the steps to the front of the inn and walked in to find a scene that would have made Glinda the Good Witch throw up. Sugary pinks and reds everywhere, it made me nauseas. Behind me I heard the girls squealing in delight.
"Oh Max we couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay! This is just so cute! I love all this pink and look there is a cat!" Nudge said pointing to a fat cat.
"Oh, that's Sammy! He's my cat." A woman who looked like she was way too perky said from behind the desk.
"That's either Sammy or the cat that ate Sammy." I muttered to Fang who was standing next to me, his eye practically twitching.
We walked up to the desk and introduced ourselves. "Hi, my name is Ella Martinez and this is my family. Do you have two rooms available?" There was no way I was giving some odd looking English broad whom I have never met my real name!
"Don't you want to ring the bell?" The woman said in the most nauseatingly perky voice I had ever heard.
The question threw me for a second. "Um…excuse me?" I was confused.
"Well normally I'm not sitting behind the desk and my guests just love getting to ring the bell and you didn't ring the bell!" Again I was confused but this time because I couldn't figure out if this woman was possibly one of those creepy ax murderers who talked all nice and sweet and them killed their guests in their beds. The woman's voice was giving me a headache too so I just lifted Angel up and let her ring the bell.
"That was very good! Welcome to the Cheshire cat! I'm May and, why yes, we do have rooms! Do you children have money?" Jesus this woman was giving me a migraine.
"We most certainly do you pretty little things you!" And with that I pulled out the trusty Maximum Ride credit card. We guessed that it was connected to Itex somehow and that the more we spent the more Itex would take the blow. We hadn't heard anything different so everyday now was a treat day!
The woman took the card and swiped it on the card swiping thing, did some stuff on a computer and gave us two keys.
"Let me just help you with your bags!" she said, coming out from behind the counter and grabbing onto Angel's pack.
"That's ok we can…"
Oh no you're my guests I won't hear of it!" She said as she took the rest of our packs. She looked like she was struggling under the weight a bit but she just walked up the steps to lead us to our rooms.
"Ah!" I cried out quietly as we arrived to the firs room.
"Something wrong dear?" she asked, setting our bags down and putting them on the floor.
I looked around to see on of the most stomach-turning rooms ever. There were flowers everywhere and it looked like they were moving! Or that might just have been my head spinning.
"There are just a lot of flowers and…are they moving?" I asked almost afraid of hearing her answer.
"It looks like it doesn't it? I saw on Martha Stewart about putting foil in the walls and it just makes the room jump! I'll leave you to your rooms then! Welcome to the Cheshire cat!
As soon as the woman left Iggy came up with a typical sarcastic comment. "Ok when she comes back we'll hold her down and Fang can tell her horrible things about the world."
Making my own little comment, "I think I have finally seen the one room that would make Liberacchi say "Whoa, step back, no one is that gay." (A/N I have nothing against boys who are gay! Check out my profile and you will see how against homophobia I am! Please don't be offended and if you are I can take this off. It is just something I heard and wanted to put it in here.)
Having abused May and her room enough we started to get ready for bed. The boys went to their room and the girls stayed in ours. To tell you the least of it, we basically passed out.
I had the best sleep of my life that night though. Even with the possessed, satanic flowers haunting the room I slept like a baby.
I woke up to the sound of chattering downstairs. In my groggy state I was momentarily confused about why there would be voices downstairs then I remembered that we were at an inn so things would be homier then a hotel. Great, that's just great
I knew that should we go down there we would be berated with prying but only slightly differentiated questions about school, home and if we were "seeing" anyone. I really didn't want to deal with that, so I let the flock sleep until the voices died down.
"Ok flock, Up and at 'em. Time for breakfast!"
The flock clearly had had a good night's sleep too because they only grumbled a little at my annoyingly loud voice. While they were getting ready I went over to the boy's room to see Fang trying to get the guys up. It was actually rather comical seeing Iggy curled up in a fetal position, trying to warm his now cold body, while Fang stood at the foot of the bed holding the sheets.
When the hilarity finally ended we went down to breakfast.
The ridiculously annoying people had left and we were just on our second helpings when we heard the sound of breaking glass. We whipped around and stood up quickly from our seats. Years of experience had taught us that that sound meant trouble.
All we saw, however, were four owls. They swooped in and dropped. One in front of Fang, Nudge, Iggy and I. The weird thing was that there were letters attached to them. I looked at Fang who shrugged and untied the letter from his owl, n odd looking owl with dark brown, almost black wings. I followed suit and so did Nudge, Iggy however just stood there.
"Guy's what is going on? Are we fighting or what?" he was clearly confused and I felt bad for him. Nudge explained (in detail of course) what was going on. I could barely hear it because I was reading my letter.

This was weird on a whole new level of weird, even for us! Sure we had different powers but we chalked them up to science, not magic! As weird as things were in my life, this new element I just could not grasp. I understood where we came from but I knew it was the effect of chemicals not potions! I had to find out what this was all about.
I turned to the others to see them all pale and shaking, well not Fang but he looked a little freaked.
"What do you guys want to do about this? Should we go?"
There was a slight pause before Iggy said, "I think we should go. This school sounds cool and I mean they did contact us!"
"Yeah! I want to go to a witch's school! That would be so cool! Do you think there will be uniforms? I hope there are because that would just be so cool! They better not be as bad as the last ones though. Do you know where we are supposed to get our supplies I mean…?" Nudge trailed off after I gave her a look.
"Fang what do you think about all of this?" I had to ask him, he was the most practical of the group.
"I don't see any real problem with going." He graced us with a sentence! I took that to mean he was absolutely freaking psyched to go.
"Ok guys, looks like we are going to Hogwarts!"
(A/N If you can tell me what I stole the inn scene from you get a cookie! CrimsonScarz I know you know this so I am debating whether or not I will let you win! Reviews would be nice and, by the way, my favorite Harry meets Max story so far is "When a Winged Girl Meets a Magic Boy" by Alyson May, your story is awesome, sorry if it looks like I'm copying you.)
