Madame Pomfrey in all of her years working at Hogwarts had never seen such a strange group of teenagers in her life, but despite their appearances she did her job as a mediwitch and worked on the boy named Kid Flash.

Silently the team stood around her watching while holding their own conversation that was unheard.

"Aqualad if she performs a spell on him that is unknown to me; I possibly cannot reverse it," Zatanna said.

"Do you recognize any of the spells she is speaking?"

"Yes, one is a diagnostic spell and the others are to repair various breaks."

"If any spell sounds suspicious say something immediately."

"I will."

Robin feeling a bored at the moment, decided to play with his computer to get an accurate location, but to his dismay his computer wouldn't turn on. "Aqualad."

"What?"

"My computer doesn't work."

Feeling concerned the older boy quickly hit the golden A on his belt to alert the league to their whereabouts, but found it didn't work as well. "I cannot contact the League. There is a probability that our technology will not work here."

Robin stood there with horror on his face. "Then how do we get home?"

"I do not know, but we will find a way. Let us wait until Kid Flash is well before any decisions are made." Despite being confident Robin grew scared that he might not see Batman again being in this different world. Kaldur could see his pseudo younger brother's fear and wrapped a protective arm around his shoulder making the Boy Wonder feel relaxed.

"If we cannot contact the League, how will they know we are?" asked Miss Martian.

"I am sure they already know that we are gone and are trying to fix the problem as we speak."

"I'm done with your friend," said Madam Pomfrey. "Luckily he has only suffered from a mild concussion, pure exhaustion, bruises and small fractures in his femur that I have repaired."

"We thank you," said Aqualad.

"I would like to perform a scan on the rest of you?"

The team looked at Kaldur awaiting his decision. Knowing that it was a bad idea, he refused politely not wanting to give these witches any idea about what the team was capable of unless they had to do a surprise attack. "I believe that would be unnecessary. We have no adverse effects from our travels. At the most we are exhausted."

"But I insist just because you don't have any visible wounds does not mean anything. I can perform a harmless scan just like I did with your friend."

"I still must decline."

Madam Pomfrey stood there a little perplexed by Aqualad's decision. From what she had seen and heard from Albus; Aqualad was the teens' leader, but she didn't see him as leadership material by refusing medical treatment for everyone else. But she could not force them to comply since they were not students.

Before she could cantor his decision again, Albus walked in with Severus and Minerva at his sides. After dropping the teens at the hospital wing; he had decided to leave them alone for a few minutes, so they could speak among themselves. "Poppy how is Kid Flash?"

"His injuries are minor and he is resting at this moment."

"Good to hear. Aqualad, may I introduce you to Severus Snape and Minerva McGonagall two of my must trusted advisors and also teachers here."

"Please to meet you," he said shaking their hands, but he got the same strange feeling with Snape when looking into his eyes.

Albus smiled. "I know there are many things we need to talk about, but first let me offer your team a hot meal." He noticed that the team looked at Aqualad for his decision and by their facial expression they were having another mental conversation.

"We will accept your offer."

"Wonderful." He clapped his hands and two house elves appeared with trays of food.

Everyone's eyes got big as they stared at the in their minds deformed little elves with giant eyes and ears. "What the hell are those?" asked Artemis just going for blunt. Winky stared at her with huge tears welling up in her eyes, quickly placing the food down she disappeared. "Uh sorry, I didn't mean to make it cry."

"It is alright Artemis; Winky gets over emotional." Albus transfigured a few of the beds into a table and chairs and placed the food on it.

The team looked amazed at their mini feast; Winky and Dobby had brought baked potatoes, huge pieces of roasted chicken, honey ham, perfectly cut carrots, hot buttered rolls, fries, and a large pitcher of pumpkin juice.

Before they could even make a decision, Kid Flash having smelled the food in his sleep awoke and rushed to the table immediately devouring everything that he could get his hands on. "Delicious."

"Least we know the food is not poisonous," said Artemis a bit disgusted. Snape was disgusted as well and wonder if the boy was possibly related to the Weasleys with that bottomless stomach of his. "Hey slow down."

With a mouth full of rolls, Kid's cheeks bulged out like a chipmunk. Chunks of bread spit out of his mouth as he spoke. "You know I have a high metabolism and have to eat constantly."

"But you don't have to be a slob about it. Anyways Sleeping Beauty at least we know what gets you out of a deep sleep."

"Whatever."

"Dork."

"Shrew."

"Stop it," snapped Aqualad. "There is no time for bickering."

"Sorry," they said.

"Hey Aqualad, we are we?" asked Kid Flash.

"We're at a magical school for wizards," exclaimed Miss. Martian.

Food shot out of his mouth as he laughed until his stomach ached. "That's funny Miss M; magic doesn't exist; besides magical schools are only in fictional novels."

"Are you serious?" shouted Artemis. "Does the name Klarion the Witch Boy mean anything to you? Or did you forget the fact that his magic sent us here or that two of our own teammates are magical users."

"Magic is merely advanced science."

"You're such an asshole." In anger she slapped him in the back of the head.

"Hey what was that for?"

"For being a dumbass."

"Stop it now," yelled Aqualad in their mind link. Shivers went through everyone's spines because he rarely yelled. "Now is not to start bickering, especially in front of these people."

Snape was impressed how quiet the two got, when Aqualad cut a look at them, however he knew that they were having a mental conversation, because Albus had told him.

"Kid despite what you believe magic did bring us here and unlike our world magic is more predominate here."

"But."

"No buts."

"C'mon dude Aqualad and Zatanna can use magic," pointed out Robin. "And you've seen that up close. Stop using science for once and believe."

"Sorry dude can't."

Closing his eyes, Aqualad had to take a very deep breath trying not to yell at Kid Flash. "We will discuss this at a later time. Everyone eat what was generously given to us."

"Aqualad, while your team eats it would be good if we go talk in my office," Albus said.

"I do not think so."

"Only for a few minutes. I assure you nothing will befall your team."

"Aqualad don't trust him," said Wally.

"So far they have done nothing to us," said Miss Martian. "I've seen into his mind; Aqualad you can trust him."

Artemis eyebrow rose. "When did you look into his mind?"

"When you were arguing with Wally."

"Aqualad these people are charlatans. And that old man gives some weird looks; he might molest you."

"Don't be stupid Wally."

"Hey you never know."

"If you do go you shouldn't go alone," said Superboy.

"I will go; we will be in a mind link the entire time so if something were to happen; the rest of you can come to my side immediately, or I will help you." Aqualad turned to Dumbledore. "Alright we can talk in your office."

The older wizard just nodded and escorted Aqualad away leaving his team to wonder if they would see their leader again.


Walking to Dumbledore's office, Kaldur's eyes roamed in every direction trying to take in the beautiful architecture of the old castle. All too soon, the two stopped in front of a gargoyle statue.

"Skittles."

Kaldur's eyebrow arose in confusion, but dismissed it as they walked past the gargoyle into an elaborate room. As he looked around the most beautiful sound hit his ears as he turned to see a phoenix singing.

Smiling Albus at his desk and motioned Kaldur to sit across him. For the next few minutes they listened to Fawkes until he stopped. "You know, phoenixes rarely sing for others. He must recognize you as a courageous person. Unwrapping a lemon drop, he popped it into his mouth. "Would you like one?"

"No sir."

"Are you sure, they are quite delicious and I find they help with stress."

Politely Aqualad accepted the candy finding it too sweet for his tastes, but then again he didn't like candy that much anyway. "Thank you," he said, however he didn't feel less stressed. If anything he was stressed and tired which Dumbledore could pick up on despite the stoic face.

"Delicious aren't they?"

"Yes sir."

"Would you like another?"

"No sir. Sir, we need to discuss about how my friends and I will return to our Earth."

"We will, but I would like to know more about you and your friends."

"I will not discuss anything that will compromise my team's safety."

"I understand that and commend you on your protective nature. I know from experience that trusting someone new is a long process and I hope that you do learn to trust me someday."

"Maybe, magic brought us here and we are at a magical school can you or someone else send us back?"

"Possibly, but I need to know the factors that brought you here." Aqualad quickly gave an abridged explanation about the events leading to them appearing at Hogwarts. "This Klarion has used a different type of magic that is not common in this world. It would take some studying and experimental trials to replicate the portal effect. How long it will take is unknown."

"Oh."

"I will have some of the most powerful wizards and witches help find a solution, but until a solution is found, I do offer you and your friends a home and an education here."

"I do not know if we can stay here, if anything we should try to find alternate versions of our mentors. Do cities such as Gotham City, Metropolis, Star City or Central City exist?"

Summoning a giant Atlas, Albus tried to look up all of the cities mentioned. "The only place that exists is a Metropolis, Illinois."

"What about Atlantis does it exist?"

"I'm sorry, but Atlantis was destroyed thousands of years ago." Albus could sense the disappointment coming from the teen. "Aqualad, I will promise you that your team will get home as fast as possible."

"I will speak to my team about living here until we go back."

Albus now thought it was the best time to bring up something. "Robin mentioned…"

"About Zatanna and I being magical users, but like Klarion's and yours; ours is different."

"Did you both go to school?"

"For me less than a year and Zatanna has learned all of her life from her father and to my knowledge has not attended any type of school."

"May I ask why you stopped going to school?"

"Because I decided to fight alongside my king to help protect my home and others and with my schedule continuing with my schooling is impossible."

Dumbledore didn't show it on his face, but he was a bit peeved that the boy had to end his education since he couldn't be no more than seventeen and without a proper magical education his magic would become out of control if it wasn't already. "What about Kid Flash?"

"He is a metahuman along with Miss Martian and Superboy," said Kaldur. Not wanting to bring up the fact that Miss Martian and Superboy were really aliens. "Artemis and Robin are human."

"What is a metahuman?"

"Where I am from humans with extranormal powers are considered metahumans. Of course there are exceptions as with Klarion, myself, and many others."

"Well since you and Zatanna are magical users it would be a good opportunity for the both of you to attend Hogwarts to learn more about magic."

"But if that were to happen it would be unfair to everyone else."

"Well there is a possibility the others could be magical users since they are physically able to be here."

"I hardly doubt that. With the case of Artemis and Robin they have been around metahumans all of their lives and from studies in my Earth all humans now a days are born with a little metahuman ability it just has to be unlocked."

"We can test them later."

Aqualad knew Kid Flash wouldn't like that idea, but he kept his mouth shut and decided to ask a few questions. "Sir may I ask you a few questions?"

"Of course."

"What is the date?"

"October 15, 1996."

Aqualad didn't let the shock of the team's time travel come to his face, so he asked another question. "Robin cannot use a handheld device of his…"

"Muggle technology does not work within this castle, only in one specific area and that would be the Muggle Studies classroom."

"Muggle?"

"A none magical human."

"So electronics cannot work within the confines of Hogwarts?"

"That is correct. Aqualad, if you do decide to stay your team would be separated by their ages to be put in different years. What are your ages?"

He thought that was a neutral question, so he answered. "Miss Martian, Superboy and I are sixteen, Artemis and Kid Flash are fifteen, Zatanna is fourteen and Robin is thirteen."

"And with your costumes and you mentioning helping your king, what exactly do you do?"

"We are a group of superheroes in training under the Justice League. Each of us has our own mentor, for example my mentor and king is Aquaman."

"And everyone else?"

"Zatanna has Zatara; Robin's mentor is Batman, Miss Martian-Martian Manhunter, Artemis-Green Arrow, Kid Flash-The Flash and Superboy…" Aqualad stalled for a moment trying to think of the best way to explain Superboy's situation without giving out too many facts. "Superboy has Superman."

"And your real names are?"

"I will not discuss that."

"I understand."

"May I go back to my team and discuss the possibility of staying here with them?"

"OF course, let my lead you back."


A/N- Yes there is a Metropolis Illinois, which holds a Superman Festival every year.
