Chapter One: Oops!

"Did you add powered horn of a bicorn?" Piper Watson hissed at her Potions partner, Alyssa Mattox. The dark-haired girl blinked a bit, holding a vial of golden powder over the forest green liquid hissing threateningly at the pair. Piper bit her lower lip while waiting for Alyssa to respond. Man, it would be bad for her, a sixth-year Slytherin prefect, to botch up what was supposed to be an easy potion during the very class taught by her Head of House, Professor Snape.

"Erm...no..." Alyssa admitted, causing Piper to groan softly, smacking her own forehead, her hand bumping Alyssa's elbow, causing the golden, glittery dust to fall into the hissing green potion, causing it to turn into a whirling silvery-violet. Piper let out an audible cry and Alyssa ducked under their shared desk.

"Alyssa! You weren't supposed to add fairydust until we added the bicorn horn!" Piper chided her friend as Snape hurried over to the two, the potion now issuing violet and white sparks, the contents of the cauldron still whirling around, becoming faster and faster. Before Snape could react, a whirlwind seemed to suddenly swirl from the depths of the cauldron.

Piper, caught unawares, felt herself being drawn towards the cauldron, the violently swirling violet whirlwind sucking in anything not bolted down. She could faintly hear Alyssa scream, her only thought being that Alyssa was a spineless Hufflepuff. Suddenly, Piper felt a vice-like grip on her arm as her feet left the floor. Looking, she saw Professor Snape gripping her arm, his face showing the strain of keeping the girl from being sucked into the tornado. Piper stole a glance at her cauldron, gasping as she saw the image of a giant forest in the bottom of the cauldron.

The hand gripping her arm suddenly released, catching her hand after a few seconds grasping. Piper heard Snape swear, having to hold onto a candleholder in the wall with one hand, the other grasping his student's. Piper screamed as she felt the hand sliding from her own, raising her head to look at Snape. Their eyes met for a moment before Snape lost his grip on her hand, watching helplessly as Piper was sucked into the portal Alyssa had unwittingly opened with the botched potion.

The room came to a still, the tornado dying, papers fluttering around the classroom as disheveled students collected themselves. Snape turned on Alyssa, his face showing immense fury as the Hufflepuff climbed from under the desk. His hand shot out and caught Alyssa by the upper arm, gripping tightly as he took a few shaky breaths, trying to calm himself before he questioned the simple-minded student, who had no place in his N.E.W.T. class, what she had added and how, hoping to find a solution and get Piper back...at least before her exams.

"It's time for another thrilling year!" Stella squealed as she and the other members of the Winx Club strode through the gates of Alfea, school of Magix to fairies, pixies, and magical princesses. Stella was thrilled to finally be back in Alfea for her sophomore year, actually being able to make it through her freshman year for a second time. The thought of being a year older than her classmates didn't seem to bother Stella, she had Bloom, Musa, Techna, and Flora to keep her company, and she only hoped they would be sharing rooms again.

"Hopefully you won't have to go through your sophomore year again," Musa teased her fellow princess, poking Stella in the side and causing the blond Solarian to pout. Musa grinned at her friend as the blond pouted before slinging an arm over Stella's shoulders. "Don't worry, we'll be there to make sure you don't blow up the potion's lab again!" They were haulted when Bloom, who had been walking in front of them talking to Flora, suddenly stopped, causing the other girls to collide with her. "Yo! What's up, Bloom?"

"That!" Bloom gasped, pointing towards the forest. The other girls followed her finger and gasped at what they saw. There was what seemed to be a great tornado composed to violet and silver sparks whirling through the forest. Despite the speed and size of the whirlwind, none of the trees around it seemed to be bothered, in fact, they were standing complete still, no breeze stirring them at all. As the five friends watched, the tornado seemed to disappear, but not before dumping something into the forest.

"Looks like your 'thrilling year' is already starting," Techna commented as she continued to watch the spot where the whirlwind had been, "I wonder what that was..." The other girls shrugged slightly, all as confused as Techna. Had the Trix sisters come back againg this year? Maybe using the tornado as a way to get out of their punishment?

"I think we need to take a look around," Bloom suggested. The other four nodded before transforming into the outfits they wore as fairies. Wings fluttering, the five took to the air, ignoring all the stares they got from the other students as they flew towards where the tornado had been. After all, they had the Trix sisters to worry about.

When Piper next opened her eyes, she saw that she was lying in the middle of a forest clearing, staring straight up at the sky. There was something hard and pointy digging into her back and when she sat up, she saw that her bookbag had also been sucked into the portal with her. Just her luck, stuck in some strange dimension and still having to do her homework. Grumbling, the Slytherin girl stood, brushing grass and dry leaves off her robes before grabbing her bag and hitching it onto her shoulder.

"Hey! Who's that!" a voice called from the air. Immediately, Piper dropped her bag, her hand thrusting into her robes for her wand, withdrawing the thirteen inch holly and unicorn hair wand from the depths of her robe pockets.

"Impedimenta!" Piper cried without thinking, watching as a stream of magic exploded from her wand. As she watched the red stream, it connected with a young, blond-haired girl dressed in some weird, glittering, orange get-up. The girl had been hovering above the clearing with four others, held aloft by what looked like...wings? But the moment the Imediment Jinx hit her, the girl fell to the grass with a thud, bound by invisible ropes that had issued from Piper's wand.

"Whoa! What was that!" one of the other girls, this one in a short blue skirt with long red hair, zooming down towards where the blond haired girl had fallen, concern showing for her bound friend. Piper stood there, blinking for a few moments as she noticed wings on this girl, as well as the others still hovering in the air. What in the hell were they? And where in the bloody hell was she? The red-haired girl knelt down next to her friend, but was unable to remove the invisible bonds.

"What did you do to her!" the red-haired girl demanded. Piper didn't answer, only gripped her wand tigher. No way was she going to tell what jinx she had used on the blond, it would only help her friends find the counterjinx. The black-haired girl above them made a move to attack Piper, but she never got close to the witch.

"Petrificus Totalus!" Piper called the spell, another jet of light issuing from her wand, hitting the black-haired girl. As the others watched, the girl's arms snapped to her sides, her feet together, as she also fell to the ground, unable to move anything other than her eyes. The remaining girls landed well away from the witch, standing with the bound blond and the flame-haired girl.

"Now, calm down," a girl with bright pink hair, dressed in a purple and green jumpsuit, said, holding her hands in the air as she spoke to the witch, "We're not here to hurt you. We were just investigating the tornado that dropped you. My name is Techna, and these are my friends, Bloom," she gestured to the red-haired girl, "Flora," the brown-haired one kneeling next to the bound blond, "Stella," this was the blond, "And Musa." The last was the Petrified black-haired girl glaring at Piper. "And who might you be?"

"Watson," Piper replied to the question, "Piper Watson of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." At the word "witchcraft", the uncharmed girls gasped, the brown-haired one, Flora, covering her mouth with her hands. The flame-haired girl, Bloom, made to move towards Piper, but stopped when she saw the wand pointed at her. "Don't make me." Bloom stopped moving, but Piper never lowered her wand. "Now, where am I and what are you?"

"Remove the spells from our friends and we'll tell you," Techna offered. Piper stood there for a moment, considering her options. She was still out-numbered by three, but she had managed to take down the other two quite easily, on the other hand, the other three seemed to know her magic came from her wand and were now on guard. It seemed the best course of action was to release the other two and get the answers she sought.

"Finite Incantatem," Piper waved her wand and watched as the two girls regained movement of their limbs. Musa was quick to get to her feet and over to her four friends, keeping a wary eye on Piper. Apparently, witches weren't a good thing here, since now all but Techna and Flora were looking at her with great looks of dislike.

"As promised, I will answer your questions," Techna said, keeping herself still in case she found herself on the end of one of Piper's hexes, "Since it seems you are not from Cloud Tower." Piper blinked a bit, looking puzzled, but not lowering her wand, anyway. It wouldn't do for the five to ambush her while she was unarmed.

"This is the Dark Forest," Techna explained, gesturing to the surrounding growth, "And you are in the Land of Magix. We are students at Alfea, a school for training magical creatures in their powers, mostly fairies, pixies, and magical princesses." At this point, the blond girl seemed to lose her distaste and sniffed in a snooty manner. "Now, since we've answered your questions, care to tell us where you are from?"

"I told you," Piper rolled her eyes slightly, "I am a seventh-year Slytherin prefect at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." When the girls showed no signs of even knowing the school, Piper again rolled her eyes. "It's the finest magical school in England...on Earth...if you even know where Earth is."

"Well, that explains the accent," Bloom suddenly spoke up, stepping towards Piper, but then stopped and held up her hands when Piper's wand was pointing at her, "Whoa! I'm from Earth, too! But I've never heard of a magical school in England before." At this, Piper lowered her wand. Somehow, she knew that these girls wouldn't hurt her.

"Of course you wouldn't," Piper said, "If you aren't from a wizarding family, nor if you've ever attended Hogwarts, then you wouldn't know about it. There's an entire magical community hidden all around the world. We just don't go flaunting it like people would think we would. Hogwarts is one of the finest wizarding schools, teaching eleven through seventeen. I'm in my last year there, studying to take my N.E.W.T.s."

"You're...what?" Musa asked, wrinkling her nose. Piper couldn't help but give a Slytherin smirk, knowing that Musa was thinking about an actual newt and the fact that students studied the little slimy lizards.

"Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test," Piper explained, "I was lucky I managed to scrape seven O.W.L.s, including an 'Outstanding' in Potions. It wouldn't do for the Slytherin prefect not to get top grades in Potions." Piper felt a surge of pride as she discussed her achievements in her wizarding school, but became annoyed when she saw the looks of confusion on the five fairies' faces.

"I don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about, Piper," Techna spoke for the girls, "But I think it would be a good idea to get you back to Alfea. These woods border the witches school, Cloud Tower, and we might have called a truce last year, but I doubt they'd be so forgiving this year." The three girls took to the air, their wings fluttering.

"Wait!" Piper cried, causing the girls to stop, hovering above her, "I can't fly without my Nimbus!" The girls exchanged confused looks, which caused Piper to huff in an annoyed manner. "My broomstick. I can't fly without my broomstick. And I can't Apparate, either, since I don't have a clue where this Alfea school is or what it looks like."

"What's this 'Apparate'?" Techna asked as the five girls landed in front of Piper. They looked rather apprehensive about being in the woods, especially since the sun was setting as they spoke.

"Apparating," Piper explained, taking on the bored tone of someone having to explain something that was so common, everybody knew about it, "Is when a witch or wizard disappears from one location and appears in another. Of course, you have to have either a visual of where you're going or the coordinates. Since I have neither, I can't Apparate to Alfea. Of course, you school might have anti-Apparating and anti-Disapparating spells like Hogwarts, which would make it impossible for me to Apparate onto school grounds."

"Ah, so it's like teleportation?" Techna asked, smiling when she received a nod from Piper, "Well, I don't know about these spells, but I can give you the coordinates for Alfea, as well as a visual aide." As Techna spoke, a hologram seemed to appear out of her wrist, showing a grand castle, arms of the building circling around, seeming to embrace a large courtyard. Along with the picture, were numbers running along the bottom. "These coordinates should take you into the courtyard. But be careful, the others might think you're attacking the school. We'll meet you there."

"Okay..." Piper sounded unsure, but decided to follow through anyway. If this was any type of magical school, then they should have no problem fixing an Apparition goof-up. At least, that's what Piper was hoping as she waved her wand over herself, disappearing from the clearing with an audible pop!

To Be Continued.
Angel: Well, there you have it! My first Harry Potter/Winx Club crossover! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Oh, and to note: While the title is 'Hailey Planter and The Land of Magix', the lead character's name is not Hailey Planter...the title is a joke, word-play on the usual Harry Potter book titles. 'Piper Watson and The Land of Magix' didn't quite have the same ring to it...
