New Studies 'A UBOS and Harry Potter Crossover'
Chapter 'Introduction'
The long trip across the ocean finally over a fairly tall, slightly clumbsy red headed man walked toward the waiting train station. Beside him a beautiful purple haired woman walked smiling politely toward the men and women. She took his hand and laid a soft kiss on it. He grinned and looked for the spot they needed to go through.
"What's wrong darling?" The purple haired woman asked as the man stood looking confused.
"I don't see loading station nine and three - forths around here." He said as he looked between loading platforms nine and ten.
The purple headed woman let out a soft laugh that sounded remarkablily musical.
"Verne, sweetheart… It's a magic train for a magic school. They can't have it out here with the morties. It has to be hidden." She stated.
He nodded and looked at the collums. Closing his eyes he took out a metal pointer and moved them between the collums. Finally he came to rest on one and smiled.
"That one." He said.
"Good, see you picked up on some normal magic after all!" She exclaimed as she ran and dove into the collum. He watched her and a bright smile crossed his lips.
The woman turned around to see Verne come tumbling through the portal and landing somewhat ungracefully before the Herbology professor, Neville Longbottom. To her surprise Neville helped Verne up and smiled at him.
"You alright? Took quite a spill there." Neville said as Verne dusted himself off and nodded.
"I'm fine… Someone pushed a suitcase out in front of me as I was making a run for the collum." Verne said.
"It happens, first time in over twenty years I took a spill through there because of a loose cat." Neville said before he took Verne's hand.
"Neville Longbottom, professor of Herbology." He introduced himself.
"Verne Thompson professor of technomagic and mortal studies. This is my beautiful wife Cassandra LeFey – Thompson." Verne said as he introduced himself and Cassandra.
"Wonderful! Cassandra… what are you here to teach?" Neville asked.
"Defense against the dark arts." She said politely.
With a nod Neville looked at the train. The whistle began to blow and helped them aboard. The three of them moved toward the back of the train and took a seat.
"It's been a while since I've been to a magic school." Verne said as he watched them travel through the lush green pastures and by a dark forest.
"If you don't mind me asking… Which school did you go to?" Neville asked.
"Vonderland headed by Mrs Crystalgazer." Cassandra said as she marveled at the forest outside.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Verne asked her as he gave her hand a squeeze.
"It's wonderful… I forgot how beautiful magic lands are…" She said as she turned toward him and kissed his cheek, "I've never regretted marrying you Verne, but I didn't realize how out of place you felt until I lived in your world for a while." She said as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Unknown to the three on the train a hidden passenger held on to the bottom of the train. A vicious glare in his golden eyes lit up as he listened to the conversation above him. Unlike Verne, Gus, and Cassie this outsider had learned magic the hardest way possible. A magical clone of Zarlack with the drive and strength of Mordred the bastard son of Morgan Le Fay and King Arthur.
Enjoy the change while you can 'cousin' for tonight… Tonight I bring the return of Lord Voldemort. He thought.
