Yay! Yay! I'm posting a new chapter today! Sorry for the late updates, I've been very busy. Thanks to Cloverleaf123 and guest Ivy Shimmer for reviewing. I get why people like it so much now!


Chapter 2

"You're finally here," Marcia said. Frowning at Septimus, she asked, "Didn't I tell you not to dawdle?"

"But-"

Marcia waved away Septimus' excuse. "No time, we have to contact them and explain to you."

Marcellus stood up and spoke for the first time. "Marcia and I have developed a new Alchemical invention in the past two weeks. Well, us and two others. We call it the Omnevitrum, after an ancient language they have. We all believe that this device will inable us to bring back the Magyk."

"How will it bring the Magyk back?"Beetle inquired.

"Who were you working with?"Jenna pondered.

"Why am I getting the feeling that we're going on another Queste?"Septimus sighed.

Marcellus shook his head fondly. "We will be going to a different world. It's called the Wizarding World. In it, Magykal people, called wizards and witches, perform Magyk with wands, but very powerful wizards and witches can perform wandless Magyk. But they stay in hiding from muggles, who can't practice Magyk. They feel a force that seems to be taking away their power too, and we've decided to work together. Tomorrow we'll travel to their world. I was working with two women, Hermione Granger and Minerva McGonagall. They are both very clever and charming. And Septimus, I am afraid this trip will be awfully like a Queste."

"Now that you know, go pack your belongings. We'll meet you at 11 am up here in the Wizard Tower. You are dismissed."


Harry James Potter was sitting on a lawn chair, reading Quidditch Through the Ages. He thought about his time in Hogwarts with Ron and Hermione. He sighed. The 17-year-old was happy and sad at the same time. He was happy that he did not have to get back to tedious classes with Professor Binns and piles of homework for NEWTs. He was also glad he didn't have to see Draco or the other Slytherins again. The two-faced traitors! Harry scowled at the image of his nemesis, platinum blonde hair, smirk and all. Professor McGonagall thought that after the Battle since Harry and his friends practically saved the Wizarding World there was no need to finish their final year at Hogwarts. But Harry still missed the thrill of sneaking out after hours, the Great Hall, and most of all, Quidditch. Then he felt a soft peck on his ear. He turned to his left, where his new barn owl Fred (in memory of the twin) stood erect with a leg outstretched, holding a roll of parchment with the Hogwarts seal. He unrolled it, wondering what was inside. He smiled at the sight of Hermione's impeccable script.

Dear Harry,

I hope you are well. You need to get to Hogwarts, quick! Professor McGonagall and I have been working on a device that will end the magic problem. We have no time to explain, but you need to come to the Headmistress' office at 11 o' clock tomorrow. You could come earlier if you want to find out why.(I'm guessing you are, aren't you?) I've already sent out owls to Ron, Neville, Ginny, and Luna so don't bother. And just try to use that Flattening Potion I sent you 2 weeks ago. It works; just look at my hair!

Hermione Granger

Harry grinned. Hermione knew him well. He got up from his chair, and went inside to retrieve a small green bottle with the words 'Flattening Potion, use two drops a day to flatten hair. 14 doses included' in Hermione's meticulous writing. He packed a toothbrush, a spare set of robes, and other basic necessities into his old Hogwarts trunk. He levitated the Invisibility Cloak into the trunk, just in case. He snapped the lid shut and reached for the small flowerpot filled with a gray powder. He yelled,"Hogwarts!" and tossed the powder into the fire. Instantly he appeared in the Headmistress' office. He wished he could Apparate, but as Hermione told them many times before,'You can't Apparate inside the Hogwarts grounds'. He looked at the two women standing in front of him.

"Hello, Professor McGonagall. Hello, Hermione."

Hermione smiled. "I knew you would come early. And you used that potion I gave you! Ron will be along soon, I bet. Ginny is coming tomorrow, she has practice with the Holyhead Harpies. Neville's teaching students, but he'll come tonight. Luna will be here anytime now. We are almost done with the Omnevitrum, I'll just explain it to you once the others come." As if on cue, Ron popped in from the fireplace, looking green, followed by Luna, who seemed as if she didn't know that she had Flooed several thousand miles.

Harry exchanged hello's with the two and turned back to Hermione. "So explain to me what it's all about." Hermione told Harry, Luna, and Ron what Marcellus had relayed to Septimus, Jenna, and Beetle. "And so," she ended,"they will come to our world via the Omnevitrum. And together, we can hopefully end the magic shortage in both of our worlds." She looked out the window at the setting sun. "Harry, Ron, Luna I think you guys should stay here for the night. It's getting late. We'll send you up your dinner, and you'lk get your own rooms. We don't want everybody to crowd the great Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, do we?"

Professor McGonagall nodded, surveying the group critically. " Ms. Granger is quite right. I will take Mr. Potter and Ms. Lovegood to their rooms. Ms. Granger, would you kindly take Mr. Weasley to his room?"

"Yes, Professor McGonagall." Hermione and Ron seemed happy with this arrangement. The five emptied out of the Headmistress' office.


Sorry for the bad ending. It'll get better, I hope. These two chapters were kind of intro/filler chapters. If you are wondering where I got Omnevitrum from, I went on Google Translate. Omnevitrum means 'universe glass' in Latin. Please read and review!
