Harry Potter and the Color Belt
Chapter One

Rainbow Brite was just turning in. It had been a long day of brightening the colors of the universe. Moonglo was already getting to work on the colors of the beautiful night. All was at peace. The sprites were in their hammocks drifting to sleep, dreaming of all the beautiful color crystals they had mined and processed that day.

Rainbow Brite pulled on her night shirt and pants. "Oh Twink, don't forget, we're getting up extra early tomorrow. We promised to go see Brian at his game." She called up to her best friend in the entire universe, well, one of them anyway.

She had finally climbed into bed and laid down, when she noticed something in the sky, just under the shining moon. It was a rainbow speeding towards the castle. Hopping out of bed and over to the window, she could see, barely, figures running along the path. Two of the figures were way out in front, dodging miss-shot beams of colored lights coming from the two in the back. Something was wrong. Rainbow Brite dashed outside.

"STARLITE! STARLITE QUICK!" She shouted, she could finally see that it was her friend Brian and his dog running to them. And he was in trouble. She knew she couldn't wait for Starlite though. Rainbow looked up and aimed another rainbow path right next to Brian's and began the ascent to him.

Brian saw her running to him and almost stopped out of relief. But he couldn't, they were gaining. "RAINBOW! AHHH!" He had tripped in his excitement and fear.

The cloaked men laughed and came up upon him. "Now filthy muggle, join your filthy family." The taller man raised his wand and opened his mouth to say the words.

"I don't think so!" came the brief warning before a sweeping rainbow came and knocked the wizards back. Looking at their attacker, they saw a small girl wearing a rainbow-print pajama set wearing a belt with a rainbow meeting a star. "You leave Brian alone!" She ordered a look of protective fury clearly present upon her face.

Nott stood. "And what makes you think a twit like you can stop us?" He reached down to pick her up by the collar. However this attempt at looking intimidating was thwarted when she fired another rainbow, and he noticed it had come from the belt. "What magic is this?" He looked at Avery.

"I don't know, but I think we best get going! We have to tell the Master about this!"

Without even a word of warning that they would be back, the two of them turned right back around and tore off in the other direction.

"You know, I'm not even going to ask how we can possibly be running on a rainbow?" Avery could be heard to say as they disappeared from sight.

By this time everyone was now awake again, and Starlite was running to them, embarrassed at being so late to a battle. He was just too far away when her call came.

Rainbow ran back to Brian, after making sure the bad guys weren't coming back. "Brian! What happened?"

Boy jumped on her and licked her face as Brian fought to sit up. He was trying his hardest not to cry, despite the fact that what he'd just been through gave him more than the right. "Rainbow…… my family…they killed them…" He managed to get out before passing out from exhaustion. Boy plopped down beside him. At least they were safe now.

AN: Another chapter, maybe my block is going away. Harry won't show up for probably another couple chapters yet. I want get things established at Rainbow Land first. If you have any ideas for how Harry can be introduced, please feel free to tell me.
