Chapter 2
Above ground, and some thousand miles away, things were unfolding at the Cullen household. Bella, Edward, and the rest of the Cullens were waiting quietly. Hermione had asked their permission to invite two other people that could help to their house. The Cullens gave their consent and after Hermione stopped apologizing to them and promising to get to the bottom of it, she took some green powder out of her pocket and threw it into the flames. After they turned bright green Hermione, to their utter astonishment, put her head into the fire.
It had been an incredible, but bizarre sight. It seemed that Hermione's body was there, but her bushy brown head had disappeared. The wizard children watched her anxiously. They had got a serious talking to and knew that it was going to get worse when those two other wizards arrived.
They waited for only 5 or so minutes before the flames turned green again and there stood two men. The red-haired man was about to step out, but was caught by the one with black hair and glasses beside him, who just pointed at the white carpet. The men cleaned themselves with the wave of their wands before stepping out onto the carpet. Hermione smirked.
"Hi", Harry greeted the Cullens. "I'm Harry Potter and this is Ron Weasley." The Cullens shook both of the men's hands. Harry and Ron then turned to Hermione and the kids.
"What happened?" asked Harry, looking directly at James.
"Well, we were really just playing around until we, er, fell into the fireplace" replied James.
"You all fell into the fireplace?" Ron asked skeptically. Rose, Albus, and James nodded.
"That is… the craziest thing I have ever heard." Harry 's lips twitched as though he were going to smile.
"Anyway, Hermione started. " We have a bit of a problem. Kingsley is upstairs right now. He's been attacked.
"By who?'' Ron asked.
" I dunno" sighed Hermione.
"Let's go see him." Said Harry.
"I don't think that is such a good idea" Carlisle spoke up.
"Well we have to find out what happened to him!" replied Ron
" I think I may be able to help you there" said an invisible Irish voice. The Cullens and their guest all started as two bodies appeared out of thin air. One was of a pale young man with black hair and a mischievous smile the other was of what appeared to be a female elf. The boy spoke first," I am Artemis Fowl and this is Holly Short and we think we can help you."
