Chapter Four: The Auror's Headquarters
It was nightfall before they reached London. Miranda and Nessie landed lightly in the tall grass of an abandoned field. Edward and Bella were next. She looked shaken but otherwise fine.
"It's just like riding a bike!" Edward was exhilarated. "You never forget it!"
"Anything with speed." Bella muttered, rolling her eyes.
Seth landed roughly on the ground, face first into the dirt. Bella tried not to laugh, but Edward, Nessie, and Miranda were doubled over in laughter.
"Why I oughta…." Seth said as he spit out dirt.
"Sorry." Miranda smiled. She went over to him and brushed the rest of the dirt off his shoulders. Miranda kissed him lightly on the cheek. "Am I forgiven?" she asked in a small voice.
"Fine." He sighed. "How can I resist such a face?"
They started kissing again and crossing very serious lines.
"Hey! There's a kid here!" Edward covered Nessie's eyes. "Now where is the Auror's base?"
"Under your feet." Miranda pulled out her wand and with a flick, the ground started to shake.
She had unearthed a huge iron gate that was over twenty feet tall.
"Whoa." Seth and Nessie said together.
"Identification?" a voice came from no where.
Miranda stepped forward and pulled out her DS.
"Where's that voice coming from?" Seth asked.
"The gargoyle." Edward answered him, pointing up towards the sky.
Up at the top of the gate stood a gruesome figure, the gargoyle loomed over top of them. Strangely enough, it looked like Caius with bat wings and walking on all fours.
Miranda lifted her DS as high as she could stretch. It lifted out of her hands and up to the gargoyle. It snatched the DS and held it close to his face.
"I also have three guests, Edward, Bella, and Renesmee Cullen, and Seth Clearwater." Miranda called up to the gargoyle.
"You may enter." The gargoyle grumbled as he dropped her DS.
The gate groaned open.
"It's a portal!" Bella breathed. She was terrified and amazed at the same time.
The scene before them was breathtaking. Thousands of witches and wizards were running about from fireplace to fireplace. Miranda said what they were doing but Nessie didn't catch the name. Bella cringed away from the flames. She couldn't believe that people would, willingly, walk into fire.
"The flames aren't normal." Edward explained to her. "They won't burn you like normal fires."
"At least you hope so." Miranda called back.
Seth was following close behind her, his arms quivering slightly. "Are you sure we are safe here?" He asked her.
"Of course." Miranda brushed off his concern. "They're all terrified of me."
Nessie noticed that everyone gave their party a wide berth. The wizards looked after them but soon resumed their activities. They were afraid, but used to Miranda.
"You certainly have modernized this place." Edward commented. Nessie wanted to ask if he had been here before but she didn't want to interrupt their conversation, and she didn't want the other wizards to hear.
"Well that's mostly thanks to Harry, Ron, and Hermione." Miranda explained to him. "They took on renovating this place after they left Hogwarts."
"So where exactly are we going?" Nessie asked.
"Were going to my office to talk to Harry and Ron."
"Will they be freaked out by the fact that I'm still alive?" Edward asked with a tenor of anxiousness in his voice. Bella rubbed soothing circles on the hand she was holding.
"Probably, but you'll be surprised what doesn't freak him out." Miranda told him.
The conversations stopped momentarily as they walked through door after door finally ending up at the desk of a timid looking witch who was clicking away at a computer.
"Hello Sandra." Miranda said nonchalantly, looking at a bunch of self-propelling paper airplanes.
"M-Miranda!" Sandra said being caught by surprise. "I thought you were on assignment?"
"I am but I need to speak to either Harry or Ron." Miranda replied as she reached up and grabbed a blue airplane and unfolded it. "Do you know if either of them is in?"
"Um…." Sandra turned her eyes back to the screen and clicked a few keys. "Ron is on a family vacation, but Harry should be arriving right-"
She was interrupted by someone barging through the door.
"Hello Sandra!" The man called. "Lovely day isn't it?"
The others turned to see who it is.
"Hello Mr. Potter." Miranda smiled in greeting.
"Miranda?" Harry asked questioningly. "Who did you bring with you?"
"You've met three of them before, but I guess you've been too busy to remember them." Miranda told him. "These are my friends the Cullen's and Seth Clearwater."
"I know you're face." Harry scrutinized Edward. "But I don't know anyone by the name of 'Cullen'."
"You might remember me by a different name." Edward stepped forward and held out his hand. "I don't suppose you remember Cedric Diggory?"
