Chapter 1 - Travel Storm
Several years had passed since Harry had defeated Voldemort and several things had changed since then. Harry and Ginny had tried to get together after the war, but had soon realized that without the threat of war over their heads, they had not much in common and soon broke it off. They remained good friends, though, and that meant a lot to both of them. Ron and Hermione too had tried to date after the war, but still fought like crazy because of their opposite views and also broke apart. The Golden Trio were all 20 now, and lived together in Grimmauld Place with Kreacher and were all training for their separate jobs. Harry and Ron were still in Arour training and Hermione was looking to be a healer.
They had to dodge reporters like Rita Skeeter nearly everyday still, but besides that, the three were finally living the lives they wanted and without the need to constantly look over their shoulder, they were much more relaxed.
But, on the other side of the world in Kansas, the United States, a girl named DG was just waking up from another weird dream about a woman with lavender eyes saying only, 'A storm is coming'. But she had no time to ponder that right now because she was about to be late for work again and Carter would have her head. Her motorcycle roared to life and she speed off to work, getting a ticket from Officer Gluch again.
While she was doing her work and Kansas and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were hanging out at home in London, in another world, called the O.Z. the evil queen Azkadellia was talking to his soldiers, heading down to see if Lilo could see her with the Emerald of the eclipse before the double eclipse.
A few minutes later and Akkadellia was asking him if anything would get in her way and the viewer breathed out, "Lilo see nothing, but..."
"But, what.", Az said ina cold voice, turning from the image of the emerald in the tube to look at him.
"Lilo feels a presence, 4 glimmers of light in the darkness, lights from.. the Other Side."
"The Other side?", she said, and then commanded her general to awaken a travel storm and extinguish these lights.
The man did what he was told and got 2 different travel storms, one to go to Harry and his friends in London and one to DG in Kansas and eliminate these lights.
It was late night in Kansas when the first travel storm came to DG's small farmhouse to her. The longcoats tried to get to DG, but her parents got her to the roof and the three jumped into the storm and escaped them.
On the other had, at the same time, it was the middle of the night in London and Hermione, Ron, and Harry were asleep when the travel storm full of long coats came for them. Unlike DG's parents, the three had no clue what was going on and fired several spells athe longcoats, still having the reflexes for hexing they had left from the war.
Then, Hermione got an idea and told her friends to jump into the storm to escape the longcoats. Ron and Harry look at her like she was crazy. "Do you trust me!", she called to them. Ron and Harry looked at each other, but nodded, "Then jump in!"
The three grabbed each other's hands from the second story, but jumped into the storm, screaming as it carried them away from what they had always known.
