Author notes: I would like to apologise in advance to all the fans of; Chrestomanci, Harry Potter and The Smurfs. I would also like to point out that this was going to be a serious fic, but like most of my (Trip's) serious fics it just did not work. Mostly because Jayne hijacked it and wrote chapter two but still, it wouldn't have worked anyway. Reviews are greatly appreciated.

Disclaimer: Trip and Jayne unfortunately own neither the Chrestomanci series nor Harry Potter. Not yet anyway.

This is the first thing Jayne and I ever wrote together


It all started when Janet didn't come down for breakfast she was always there before everyone else often enough before Mary and Euphemia, but she wasn't there today. We all knew something was wrong, as soon as breakfast was over Roger, Julia, Marianne, Joe, Paolo, Renata, Angelica, Tonino and Cat all went to her room to find her.

Janet wasn't in her room. But her bed had been slept in and her nightdress was in her bed, as if she had been wearing it and then suddenly disappeared.

They all ran up to Chrestomanci's study, they didn't have to explain a thing. All the Wizards, Warlocks, Witches, Sorcerers and Sorceresses, Enchanters and Enchantresses in the castle began scouring the worlds for Janet. Until they found her, and her eight other alter ego's in 12b.

Chrestomanci sat in his office chair, behind his great oak desk looking at the seven sombre six-and-seven-teen-year-olds sitting across from him.

He turned to the Italian Magicians, "What are you four doing here?" he asked.

"Plot hole," Angelica said, in a surprisingly perfect English accent.

"Oh, well cheer up you lot, we can get her back. It might be difficult but you can do it" Chrestomanci said unconvincingly.

"Us?" Roger asked.

"Yes you, we recently discovered that 12b has an abundance of magical activity which is kept secret from non-magical society, that's why it took so long to find it. But anyway over the last two years there has been a lot of terrorist action from a certain sect of wizards known as Death Eaters. These Death Eaters are led by one quite powerful wizard named Lord Mouldywart or something like that. Anywho I'm sending you lot to the most prestigious school of witchcraft and wizardry in Great Britain. Dogwarts I mean Hogwarts, sorry." Chrestomanci explained

"But the summer holidays just started" Joe said disappointed

"Waaaa!" Chrestomanci mocked

"Welcome to this new, but surely darkest year at Hogwarts." The new Headmistress, McGonagall, began "I am surprised and relieved that the board of Governors allowed the school to stay open with all the…terrorism that has been going on. But let us not dwell on these darker themes, but welcome with elation a small group of students to be joining the seventh years. These students come to us under strange circumstances which I expect they may wish to explain themselves. So please let us welcome the ladies Angelica and Renata Petrocci, Julia Chant and Marianne Pinhoe, and Messes Eric and Roger Chant, Antonio and Paolo Montana and Joseph Pinhoe."

The doors of the great hall opened and seven teens walked up to the front podium.

One of the younger looking boys started to speak.

"Well the fact of the matter is we come from another world."
