Artemis: So I saw Return of the King the other day.
Minerva: Me too! Wasn't the Harry Potter trailer the greatest!
Artemis: Ugh, your hopeless. If you hadn't been so busy thinking about the HP trailer maybe your would have noticed Gandalf kicking some serious butt. Ya don't see Dumbledore doing that!
Minerva: Go to hell. You haven't thoroughly read the end of the 5th book..in chapter 35 page 805 Dumbledore clearly shows his potential is way beyond Gandalf's.
Artemis: Please tell me you looked that up...
Minerva: What can I say? Its my gift..
Artemis: Please just tell me you looked that up...anyway, please, enjoy the story!
Minerva: Yes do that...and if you don't review I will curse you with my magical baguette.

Chapter 1: Tere Palurin
Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Luna Lovegood were hurrying to catch the Hogwarts
Express. They had just spent Christmas vacation at Hermione's house, as a way to try
and get Harry's spirits up. Ever since the death of his godfather, Harry had become very
quiet, serious, and depressed. He would rarely speak unless spoken to, and even then his
answers were short and distant, as though he wasn't really listening at all in the first
place. So as a way to keep Harry away from Hogwarts and any memories of Sirius that
may be in the castle, Hermione had invited Harry, Ron, and the most recent member of
the group (on Harry's insistence) Luna, to her house for the break. The holidays had
been well planned and kept them all busy, that is until the morning that they were to go
back to Hogwarts, when it was discovered that Harry and Ron were yet to pack. Only
two hours before the Hogwarts Express was the leave the station. Chaos ensued. An
hour and forty five minutes were spent running around, looking for various missing
objects, listening to Hermione lecture about packing the night before you leave and being
always being prepared, and Luna claiming she lost her silver moonflower, what ever that
was! As general rule with Luna no questions were asked. With great haste Hermione
summoned the Knight Bus, fifteen minutes before the train was to leave. Because they
were in such a hurry (and some influence from Harry) the group was made first on the list
to be dropped off and arrived at Kings Cross with five minutes to get on the train. The
amount of people in the train station was amazing! It seemed to be a never relenting line
of muggles between where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Luna were and where Platform 9
¾ was. There was no way to get through! With extreme frustration the group was only
approaching Platform 3 when Ron called back to his friends, "There's this spell that my
father taught me in case there was ever another situation like in our second year Harry.
It'll get us there in no time!"
"Ronald Weasley! There are tons of muggles in this station, you cant just go around
casting spells! You could blow the cover of the wizard world!" Hermione yelled back.
It was Harry who came to the rescue.
"I'll cast a notice-me-not spell on Ron. No one but us will be able to tell what he is
doing."
Hermione, though clearly annoyed, nodded in agreement. Ron grinned as Harry quickly
cast the spell on to him. Ron walked up to the wall, with his wand pointing toward it and
said calmly, "Tere Palurin." Then without a moment of hesitation he walked through the
wall. Glancing at his two other friends Harry quickly cast notice-me-not spells on all of
them. He allowed (as any gentleman would) for the two girls to go through the wall first.
Then it was his turn. He hated going through walls but as he looked up at the clock he
realized he only had one minute before the train left. 1.2.3..and through the
wall he went. But wherever he was it most certainly not Platform 9 ¾! Everything was
black and the air was freezing cold, much colder than it had been at Kings Cross.
In the dark Harry called out, "Ron, Hermione, Luna?"
"Right here Harry!" Came a voice behind him. Harry spun around but saw nothing.
"I can't see a thing, wait a second and let me pull out my wand. Lumos." A bright
light came out of the wand letting him see his three friends lying on the ground with their
trunks surrounding them, they obviously hadn't been able to find their wands or stay
standing. Harry held out his hand to help Luna, who was closest to him up.
"Where do you think we are?" He asked, though he knew his friends most likely
would not know the answer to that question. Luna and Ron gave him a mutual response
of "I have no clue!" But Hermione took this chance to look around at the surroundings.
"Well judging by the type of grass here, Praelongus Obherbescere, we are
somewhere in Scotland or Ireland. Praelongus Obherbescere only grows in those two
areas. You see if the environment.."
"We get it Hermione, we're somewhere in Scotland or Ireland. Now the question
is how we get from where we are now to Hogwarts before the start of term feast?" Ron
interrupted. Hermione glared at him. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Guys we don't have time for this. We need to come up with a plan of action.
And this time there are no Threstals around to ride on." No body laughed at this sad
attempt to lighten the situation. Hermione's face light up. Ron groaned.
"Oh no, Hermione has a plan." Hermione scoffed but began anyway.
"You two have your brooms right?"
This time Ron rolled his eyes. "No Hermione, we just spent a couple of hours a day
practicing Quidditch in your backyard without our brooms." She was about to retort
before Luna, who had said nothing, said something.
"Look up there! There's a fire on that big rock thing."
The other's squinted up to where she was pointing. A very small, but noticeable fire was
burning atop a large rock structure.
"People!" Hermione called out. "I bet they can tell us where we are, and from
there we can find our way to Hogwarts!"
"Yeah but how do we get up there?" Harry asked stupidly. Hermione slapped
him upside the head.
"We fly of course! You, Ron, and Luna all have brooms and I can ride with one
of you."
"What about our trunks?"
"I'll shrink them, that way we can just carry them in our pockets. Come on now,
I'm sure that it will take a couple of hours to get to school and you two can't afford to be
late for getting to school again like in second year, you'll be expelled for sure!" They
nodded and pulled their broomsticks out from their trunks. "Parvus!" Hermione said
four times giving each person his or her respective trunk. "Let's go!"
Harry and Ron mounted their brooms and waited for Hermione and Luna to do
the same. "Ready?" Harry asked, hovering slightly from the ground. Hermione nodded.
"Last one there has to give Snape a sponge bath!" Ron called out. Thoroughly
disgusted by the idea it self, Harry took off at full speed, easily out stripped the others.
He landed a couple feet away from where he could now see four figures, just in case they
weren't friendly. The other three landed beside him, Harry motioned for them to be
quiet. The four figures looked human but were rather short, and had huge feet. One of
them was sleeping while the other three were cooking something over the fire. Suddenly
the one who was sleeping woke up.
"What are you doing?" He called out, approaching the people by the fire.
"Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon." One of the other's said.
"We saved some for you, Mr. Frodo." The fattest one said. 'Mr. Frodo' did not
appear very happy about it and ran over and stomping on the fire.
"Put it out you fools! Put it out!" He cried. The one furthest from him exclaimed,
"That wasn't very nice, you got ash on my tomatoes!" Mr. Frodo continued to
stop the fire out until it was only embers. The four Hogwarts students heard screeches
from below. The short people by the fire also looked down to see what was coming.
Harry gasped. "Dementors!" They all pulled out their wands.
"Do you guys remember how to do the patornous? Think a happy thought and
concentrate. Expecto Patronum, Expecto Patronum!"
All together they raised their wands and yelled out the loudest they could, "EXPECTO
PATRONUM, EXPECTO PATRONUM, EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!" Bright silvery
figures shot out of each of their wands. From Harry's a stag, from Hermione's a lion,
Ron's let out a dragon, and Luna's was the most surprising of all, a Threstal. Each
animal bounded down the cliff and at the Dementors. They screeched from where they
were and rode off into the distance. All together they breathed a sigh of relief. They
were gone, but the patronous' had taken a lot out of them. Without any warning, a blade
was pressed lightly against Harry's throat. A dark, dirty fully grown man growled at
them,
"Who are you and what is your business here?"
Minerva: Me too! Wasn't the Harry Potter trailer the greatest!
Artemis: Ugh, your hopeless. If you hadn't been so busy thinking about the HP trailer maybe your would have noticed Gandalf kicking some serious butt. Ya don't see Dumbledore doing that!
