Magic school
Adriane, Emily, and Kara plopped down on the sofa of the library.
"Whew! Is it just me, or are the animals extra annoying today?" asked Kara. Adriane frowned.
"They aren't annoying! There just excited," she answered.
Kara shrugged and pulled out a tiny comb from her pocket. She started brushing her hair.
"Well, if your cold, you can move up to the fire," suggested Ozzie, who was already sitting in front of the fireplace.
Adriane, Kara, and Emily eagerly ran up to the fireplace and held out their hands to the fire. Suddenly, the flames flickered and started swirling around.
"Ahh! The fire is green!" screamed Ozzie.
Dreamer and Lyra backed up. Adriane moved forward. She held out her hand close to the fire. The fire "jumped" and spilled onto Adriane's arm.
"Hey! It doesn't burn!" she exclaimed, a hint of relief in her face.
Dreamer and Lyra moved up again. Ozzie was staring at the fire with fascination. Suddenly, the fire grew. Adriane was now almost bathed in the emerald flames.
"Ah! What's happening!" yelped Adriane in fear.
The fire was pulling Adriane inside. Emily and Kara grabbed Adriane's black sweater and pulled. Dreamer and Lyra bit the back of Emily's jacket, helping them with the tug-of-war. Ozzie clung to Emily's neck. But it was no use. The fire sucked them inside.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were doing their homework in the Gryffindor common room. Ron yawned and pushed his half-finished essay away.
"I'm through with potions. What has "The Potion of Oblivion" ever done for me?" said Ron stubbornly.
"Well I'm almost done," said Hermione, frowning at Ron.
A snowy white owl flew through the window and landed on Harry's shoulder.
"Hey, Hedwig," greeted Harry.
The owl hooted and dropped a letter on Harry's lap. Harry opened the letter.
Dear Harry,
Would you like to come over to my hut around 5:30? I know your all busy with homework, but Grawp has had me thinking about just how important family is, since he ain't got one.
Hagrid.
"Aw! Poor thing, he misses us!" cried Hermione, who had been reading over Harry's shoulder.
"Yeah. Shall we go to his hut this afternoon, then?" asked Harry, folding Hagrid's letter up and patting Hedwig on the head.
"Sure! But first we need to finish this homework - " started Hermione.
Her voice was drowned by the roaring of the flames. They had turned emerald!
"What's happening?" asked Ron.
Hermione carefully walked over to the fire and held her wand out. The fire grew and started pulling Hermione in.
"Hermione!" yelled Ron.
Hermione was sucked in, along with Harry, Ron, Hedwig, Pig, and Crookshanks.
Adriane, Emily, Kara, Dreamer, Ozzie, Lyra, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Crookshanks, Pig, and Hedwig dropped out of the sky and onto a mattress inside a small room.
"Ow! Get off me!" shrieked Kara.
"Ow! What's happening?" asked Ron.
"Get of my head!" screamed Harry.
"Good afternoon, children," said a new voice.
The twelve visitors turned their heads to see a fairly old woman, with long greying brown hair tied up. She wore black robes, and was holding a wand.
Harry turned his head again to see the six other people. There were three girls, about Harry's age. One was blonde and was wearing a perfectly matched blue sweater and pants. The second was a red head. She was wearing a regular jeans and t-shirt. The last had long, dark hair and was wearing all black. Then there was a ferret, a wolf, and a cat with wings.
The three mages observed the other kids. They were all dressed in long school robes. There were two boys. One had messy black hair, while the other had bright red hair. The girl had long, bushy brown hair.
"Who are you?" asked the girl with bushy brown hair (Hermione to Harry and Ron).
"I am Professor Aida," said the woman. "This is a magic school. Wexlers school for magic masters. You children have been sent here to learn at this school. Here, have a seat."
Professor Aida waved her wand, and six chairs appeared out of no where. The teens sat down, their animals right beside them.
"But what about Hogwarts?" asked Hermione.
"He-who-must-not-be-named as gathered allies. He is stronger then ever! You, Harry Potter, need to hide out here. You-know-who will never suspect you here, as hardly no one knows about this school. The mages" Professor Aida waved her hand over Adriane, Kara, and Emily. "Were sent here to practice their magic. Regularly, mages have a mentor or school teaching them. If you learn at Wexlers school, your magic will be more advanced then it is already."
"Wait a second. How are we going to tell our parents about this?" asked Kara.
"We have already informed your parents of your abilities. But you may talk to them, if you wish," answered Professor Aida.
"If you have any more questions, please tell me so," said Professor Aida.
No body said anything.
"Good! Now I will leave you alone to get acquainted," said Professor Aida, heading out the door.
"Uh..."
The strangers stared at each other.
"Um, I have a question," said Kara. "What is Hogwarts?"
"Oh! Hogwarts is a school for witchcraft and wizardry. Me, Harry and Ron go there," explained Hermione.
"Oh, sorry! I'm Hermione," said Hermione. "This is Ron," she pointed to Ron. "And this is Harry," she pointed to Harry.
They all waved.
"I'm Emily. This is Kara, Adriane, Dreamer, Ozzie, and Lyra," introduced Emily, pointing to each person she called.
"Nice to meet you, witches," said Lyra.
Harry and Ron gaped at the cat.
"How - how - how - ?"
"Some animals can talk when bounded to a mage. When a magical animal bonds with a mage, they create a connection that allows communication between them," explained Hermione.
"Wow, she knows more about us then we do," said Adriane in amazement.
Emily nodded her head, clearly impressed.
"So... lets go back to that Professor Aida woman and find out what we have to do next," suggested Ron.
Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
