Chapter 2- Surprise Drop-Ins

Crystal screamed as she fell through the air and landed on someone. She immediately rolled off, then stood up and was about to hold out a hand for the person when she stopped. Her eyes widened. It was Neville Longbottom!

Crystal looked quickly around her and sure enough, there were other Hogwarts students standing in the room. They all looked puzzled. Crystal gulped, infinitely confused.

"S-sorry." Crystal held out a hand for Neville, who took it cautiously.

"Who are you?" a voice spoke behind her. A shiver ran up her spine as she recognized the voice.

"I'm Crystal Chaolon," Crystal turned to meet the face of the speaker. She now stood face to face with Harry Potter. Behind him stood Hermione and Ron. Crystal smiled inwardly as she glimpsed Ron. 'He's just as hot as I imagined him to be!' she thought. A small giggle almost escaped her lips.

"What are you doing here?" Ron asked. Crystal's stomach did a backflip as his sweet voice reached her ears. Crsytal shrugged truthfully to his question.

"I-I really don't know," she stammered. At that time she decided to look around, and discovered that 'here' was really the empty room where Harry taught other students Defense Against the Dark Arts. She recognized Ginny, Cho, Parvati and Padma, the Creevey Brothers, and many more students. She also recognized Anthony Goldstein, who was eyeing her with eyebrows raised in interest.

"So, Crystal." Ron walked forward.

"Yes?" she replied innocently.

"Even though we don't really know who you are, would you like to join our club?" He smiled.

"Ron!" Hermione exclaimed in an exasperated voice from one side of the room. The students began to whisper to each other about who this new stranger was.

"Ron, it might not be a good idea to trust her." Harry voiced quietly.

"But look at her! Even she doesn't know what she's doing here. It's so obvious she's innocent." Ron grinned at Harry, and Harry sighed.

"Alright. I guess it won't hurt to trust her." Hermione glared at Harry, but Harry didn't seem to notice.

"So how about it?" Ron asked as he turned back to Crystal.

"Well.sure, I guess."

"Do you have a wand?" Hermione shot out. Crystal blushed. She was about to answer no, but surprisingly as she put her hands behind her back she felt the poke of a stick that was hanging out of her back pocket. Crystal pulled it out of her pocket and looked at it. Sure enough, it was a wand. It looked to be made of rosewood, and the wand was beautifully polished. Crystal shrugged, not questioning the chances given to her.

"Yep!" she said. Hermione crossed her arms and blew hard out of her nose. She was suspicious of Crystal. After all, she had appeared out of nowhere.

Harry was working on teaching everyone the Patronus Charm, and Crystal caught on quickly. She was actually one of the first ones to produce a Patronus, although the form it took was a small rabbit. Seamus Finnigan and most of the other boys (except for Ron, Harry, and Neville) were doubled over in laughter.

"Well at least I actually made one!" Crystal yelled at them. That shut a lot of the boys up.

"That's pretty good, Crystal." Harry's head was tilted to the side as he stared at the little rabbit happily hopping around Crystal's feet. Across the room a silver otter was dancing around the joyous Hermione.

Just then the door creaked open and Dobby stepped in. His eyes were wide with terror and his limbs were shaking. There was a little quivering in the back of Crystal's mind. Something important was hanging off the tip of her tongue.

"Harry Potter, sir.Dobby has come to warn you." Dobby squeaked. Just then Crystal's mind snapped, and she remembered. Umbridge was coming for them.

"Everyone, run!" she shouted, interrupting Harry's questions to Dobby. "Umbridge is coming!" It took a moment for everyone to realize what she was saying, but when it finally got through to them they burst towards the door. Crystal ran to the door as well, following Ron. As she ran, she thought about how Ron was never mentioned in this part of the story. 'Where are we going, I wonder?' Her thoughts were suddenly disrupted as she tripped over a stair and began to plummet towards the bottom of the staircase. Ron, being much farther down the staircase, turned as he heard her scream. Crystal hit him, and time seemed to stop. Everything around her and Ron began to blur.

'What's going on?' she thought as colors twisted in and around each other. Finally the world righted itself. But, as Crystal looked around at her surroundings, she realized that this world was completely different from before.
