Prologue

It was a still night in Hogsmeade. But not for long.

Three figures in black cloaks appeared in the middle of the village in a flash of bright light. Immediately a long siren sounded, and it lasted for several minutes.

"What was that?" one of the figures asked.

"That doesn't matter, Holly. C'mon, we should keep moving." said another.

The third figure breathed in deeply. "Ah, Ireland. I never thought I would get a chance to see it again! Aren't you excited Sam?"

"Whatever. We need to find a place to hide, Millie! We're hiding from Team Galactic, remember?" Sam said.

"Oh yeah…"

Millie, Holly, and Sam entered a building called the Hog's Head. The barman looked up and frowned.

"Look, I told you…"

"Wait, Mr. Barman!" Millie cried out. The barman stopped talking, a bit surprised.

"Mr. Barman, we're just customers, and we would like a place to stay. Please? It's just going to be for a night! And then we'll be on our way!"

Just then, someone kicked open the door. Some men in black robes wearing masks were in the doorway.

"Aberforth, someone set off the cat…" The man who was talking turned and saw Millie and her friends.

"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" The man stepped up to Millie, and had his mask been off he would probably be smiling. "Haven't seen you around…. Who are you?" The man had pressed a stick to Millie's throat, and while it may not look like a threatening gesture, Millie felt very scared for some reason.

"Hey, get your hands off of my sister!" Holly yelled at the man.

"Oh?" The man was now pointing the stick at Holly. But one of the other men behind him spotted something.

"Sir?" He said, raising his hand. "I think I just saw a tail under her cloak."

There was a pause, and then, "Alright, take off your hood so I can see your face."

Millie took a few steps backward. "Okay, maybe some other time…" But the man lunged forward and pulled off her hood. And what was under that hood shocked everyone but Holly and Sam, who both did a face palm.

Millie had lavender fur and a red gem on her forehead. But her most prominent feature was her large, fox-like ears.

There was silence. Then the man shouted, "Get them! They're not human…And I'm sure the Dark Lord would want to see them…"

Holly and Sam had also pulled off their hoods, seeing no reason to conceal their secret any longer. Holly had light-blue fur, seemed to be wearing a Sherpa cap, and had ears like Millie's. Sam also had large ears, but he had yellow, spiky fur, and a large white collar.

The other men had pulled out sticks, and surprisingly, jets of light shot out of them. Mr. Barman had also pulled out a stick, and shouted something that sounded like "PROTEGO!" The jets of light, which had been heading toward Millie, Holly, and Sam, suddenly changed course as though they had hit an invisible barrier.

A blue ball formed in Holly's hands, and several blue beams shot out, hitting several men and freezing them. Some of the other men looked at them in surprise, and Holly froze them too.

Millie was blocking jets of light with her own green barrier. Her eyes glowed, and a red aura surrounded her attackers as they were lifted into the air. Millie concentrated, and the attackers were thrown bodily against the wall.

Sam was surrounded, but he just smirked. In an instant, electricity was coming out of his body, shocking the assailants. In a few minutes they were slumped over, unconscious. Sam just dusted his hands, and then he shocked the other masked men in the bar.

The barman had watched all this in pure amazement. In a few minutes, all the masked men were either frozen in a block of ice or unconscious. These kids really were powerful….

Millie turned to the barman. "Sorry about the damage to your bar. You don't have to be scared of us. We're nice. Oh, and by the way, my name's Millie. That's Holly and Sam."

"Well, I'm pretty impressed with what you did with those Death Eaters. And my name's Aberforth."

"Wait. What are Death Eaters?"

Aberforth sighed. "You don't know about the war, do you?"
