When Magic Collides
Prologue – Through the Veil

A/N: Hey guys, this was requested from me a long time ago but with all my other ongoing stories I just never really got any time to work on it. But here it is, the blending of my two loves Harry Potter and Power Rangers so ENJOY R&R PLZ! NOTE: Starts in an AU battle at the ministry where everyone made it to the Veil room.

"Hermione are you alright?" Harry helped his best friend off the ground. Jinxes and curses flew around so they had to stay crouched behind some blasted rock.

"Yeah, the curse hit my arm though," Hermione's wrist twitched and she hissed from the little movement alone. "I think every bone has been broken."

Harry severed her sleeve off then tapped her arm with his wand, "Ferula." Instantly bandages wrapped around her whole arm, strapping it tight

"Nice to see you were paying attention Harry," Remus ran over, pulling them into a corner. "But you have to get out of here now. What happened to that orb?"

"Smashed," Harry looked down contrite but Remus gripped his arm.

"It's for the best, believe me. Perhaps Dumbledore will explain it to you -" they ducked a curse that struck right above their heads "but now is now the time to worry about it. We have to get you out here."

"Remus! Look at Tonks!" Hermione pointed over his shoulder. The werewolf spun around in time to see the pink-haired woman fall at the hands of Bellatrix. "Stay down," Remus pushed them further in the corner to accent his point. Sirius charged forward to take over Tonks' fight and Lupin immediately went to check on Tonks. "She's alive!" he cried

"A mistake that won't be made twice!" Bellatrix screamed.

"What's the matter cousin? Gone soft in Azkaban?" Sirius taunted. Bellatrix made an enraged sound and sent what looked like a hail storm of stunners at the animagus.

"Come on you can do better than that!" Sirius laughed in her face. Their duelling caused them to come dangerously close to veil but Sirius only laughed and continued to goad the witch. Unfortunately, he lifted his arm just high enough that one spell caught him in the chest sending him back into the veil.

"NO SIRIUS!" Harry bounded forward but Remus caught around the waist.

"Harry there is nothing you can do," Remus grunted with the effort to keep a hold on him. "He's gone."

Harry stared awestruck at the veil that had just swallowed his godfather. The fighting continued on all sides but he was oblivious to the world. It was impossible, he couldn't be dead. Remus had his arms banded around his body, holding him back but then they saw it. The veil fluttered just a little by some invisible wind and they saw a lush forest on the other side. They looked at each other stunned, Remus's arms just loosened enough that Harry broke free and ran full tilt to the veil.

"Harry no!" Ron shouted. "STOP!"

"Remus stop him!" shouted Moody but Remus was running full blast to the veil to. Together, they charged straight through. That was when everyone saw the woods. "The veil must lead somewhere, we have to go after them. EVERYONE ON THE PLATFORM!" The Order and the kids struggled to get on to the raised area, blasting death eaters back. Finally Mad-Eye did his best to get Tonks and slammed his staff on the ground hard enough to send tremors through the floor. Bellatrix made a lunge for Tonks but was thrown back immediately by some kind of force field. "Get going," Moody growled while herding them through the veil. "It won't last long and then they'll be after us." They didn't need any more encouragement than that and fled into the veil.

Peaceful, quiet, and serene; those were three words that could never describe Rootcore on any given day, at any time. Playing second home to a pack of twenty-something year olds meant that the old tree was a daily host of chaotic activity. Not that anyone minded. Leanbow and Udonna felt as though they had not one but seven children, each one very special to their hearts. After returning from their visit with Nick's adoptive parents, the family had settled down into a somewhat normal existence but normality was within the eye of the beholder. At that particular time, Claire was working on a new potion with Leelee, Daggeron and Nick were feeding Fireheart, Jenji and Maddy were playing cards while the genie told stories, Vida was working on her latest mix on her laptop, Udonna was reading, and Leanbow had left to gather ingredients with Xander and Chip. Everything was calm at least until Claire shivered and accidently dropped more sickle berries into her potion causing the whole thing to froth over.

"Dear child," Udonna came over. "You must be more careful. I've always told you to handle your ingredients one at a time."

"Udonna it wasn't my fault," Claire rubbed her heart with a strange look on her face.

However Udonna did not look up to see it as she cleared the ruined the potion, "Of course it wasn't, accidents do happen."

"Should we start again Claire?" Leelee asked.

"Huh? Wah-what? No. I don't feel well. I think I'm going to lie down." Claire went to her room, still rubbing her chest. This caught the room's attention and everyone watched her go with concern.

"Is she gonna be okay?" asked Madison setting her cards down.

"Maybe it was the fumes," suggested Vida, taking off her headphones. "Let's give it some time before we check on her."

"I agree with Vida," Udonna said cautiously. "Leave her alone for now."
