Harry Potter
"Harry, wake up!" Ron shook Harry to no avail, finally Ron gestured at Harry with his wand.
"W, w, what?" Harry said blearily, sitting up.
"Dumbledore wants us to come to his office, he said it was urgent" Ron said.
"Okay, okay," Harry said with a trace of panic in his voice. He and Ron dashed out of the dorm and quickly made there way to Dumbledore's office not even stopping for breakfast.
"I have something very pressing to tell you," Dumbledore said the minute they walked into his office, "Although you may not believe me at first. We sometimes have to battle magical creatures but there are demons in this world, demons that most people are unaware of."
"But what about the people who know about demons?" asked Harry. "And why are you telling this to us now anyway."
"That is what I want to tell you about," Dumbledore said assuming a lecturing tone. "There is a race of people gifted with powers that battle demons, they send the demons out of this world and into there own where they will stay for a long time while they gather there strength to cross the wards into our world again. These people are called Shadowhunters. "
"But what does all that have to do with us?" asked Ron "And why have we ever been told about them before."
"Well, most witches and wizards don't know about them either Although they do know about us in a general sense." said Dumbledore "Now your other question Ron will take a bit of explaining, in short the shadowhunters need our help."
"But if they are so powerful why would they suddenly need our help?" Harry cut in.
"I'm getting to that," Dumbledore said, slightly annoyed. " For some reason the wards that have protected earth for so many years have collapsed in New York city of all places, and now there is a gap in which thousands of demons can get through, to many for the Shadowhunters to conquer on there own. They also have to close the gap somehow and they fear there magic of sorts can't do it." Harry and Ron were silent for a couple minutes although after everything he had seen it took a lot to surprise Harry.
Finally he asked "What do you mean, magic of sorts?"
"Well, first of all through all of the training they undergo they are very strong and fast but what I think you mean is there steles." Dumbledore hurried on before either of the boys could interrupt. "They have the power of the runes, they use their steles to mark themselves with runes before a fight although they have some permanent runes."
"How do you know all this stuff anyway?" Ron inquired.
"About twenty years ago I stumbled upon one of their institutes and as I could see through the glamour I investigated and met the guardians of that institute, they told me about Shadowhunters and Downworlders." Dumbledore said.
"Wait, what are Downworlders?" Harry questioned.
"Oh, I forgot Downworlders are warlocks, fairies, vampires, and werewolves. They live unseen by humans and the Shadowhunters keep them in line if they do something against the laws. Harry and Ron stared at him open mouthed for at least five minutes. But then Harry thought of something.
"But wasn't Lupin a werewolf and he didn't know about Shadowhunters and Downworlders."
"Some Downworlders don't know their heritage" Dumbledore replied "Now I have someone I want you to meet." Dumbledore gestured at the door and a beautiful girl walked in. The girl was tall with long black hair and she was wearing a short blue dress. She had a rune on each of her hands.
"Hello, I'm Isabel" the girl said shaking both of the boy's hands. "I'm sorry one of my brothers couldn't come as well but um witches and wizards aren't exactly our closest friends." Isabel said.
Ron was looking slightly dazed "Probably because of her appearance" Harry thought. So he said "Hi I'm Harry and this is Ron."
"Dumbledore you said that a couple of the older students could come back to New York with me to help close the gap." Isabel looked to Dumbledore to see if he agreed to their plans. "I assume that Harry and Ron our among the students who will be coming."
"Yes, Harry and Ron our both quit capable and I was going to ask some other students to volunteer, among those I will chose the fittest." Dumbledore said. "Now I would like you boys to give Isabel a brief tour of the school. I will make an announce make an announce make at lunch." With that Dumbledore made a shooing motion dismissing them from his office.
In the hall Harry nervously lead Isabel to the Gryffindor dorm and then showed her the grounds, she seemed particularly interested in the potions room but whether that was because she was interested in the potion that the class was making or the guys she was looking at Harry wasn't sure.
When the bell rang for lunch Harry and Ron led Isabel to the great hall for lunch. Isabel sat with Harry and Ron at the Gryffindor table, she avoided questions from everyone else and mostly ate her lunch in silence. At the end of lunch Dumbledore stood up and Isabel stood at his side not looking the slightest bit nervous to have everyone looking at her. "Isabel's family needs some help, they sent Isabel to England so that a couple of upperclassman can come back to New York with her. I would like a couple volunteers." Instantly people started to raise there hands, mostly boys Harry noticed. "Harry Potter and Ron Weasly have already agreed to come," said Dumbledore motioning to them, Harry and Ron stood up and walked to Isabel's side. "Okay, Hermione Granger and Seamus Finnigan you may come to and finally Draco Malfoy. Harry couldn't believe his ears but Seamus, Hermione, and Malfoy were all walking toward them.
