Lizzie Myers, witch, and the Green Ranger stared at the piece of parchment on the table that just arrived via Phoenix from Professor Dumbledore. Her time was up; her vacation was over. She gathered her trunk, and Ghost was on her shoulder, "Ready?"
"Meow." Ghost answers.
Lizzie teleported to the Command Center, which was the only safe zone, she knew of to activate the portkey.
Zordon smiled and wished her a good and safe school year.
Lizzie rolled her eyes, "With our pure dumb Ranger's luck? I would need all the luck, I can get." Other various lights of color appeared in the command center.
The other rangers appeared all with sad looks on their faces the worst was Adam.
Lizzie's hazel eyes shimmered as she looked at her old friends, and her new ones as well, then she met Adam's eyes. "Is this going to be our thing too, crying like a bunch of babies?"
"Hey you weren't thinking of leaving without one last hug from your friends were you?" Tommy asked with a small smile.
"Hey, my girlfriend is going to be gone for most of the year and you want to be all smiles." Adam teased.
"Not all smiles, but I don't want my memory filled with that expression, that I just ripped your heart out." Lizzie answers, cracking a grin.
The other rangers back away for a bit to give the two a private moment. Adam pulls Lizzie in to a hug and holds her tight.
Lizzie leaned her head against Adam's chest, just being with him as an official couple, she had learned that she can let down her guard with him, to let him and the others see the softer side of her character, the one who was a girly and not all sparring and defending her title.
Adam leans in and smells her hair "Did I ever tell you, I love this scent?"
"Would you like my half-empty bottle of shampoo?" Lizzie asks, "Because I have bought out stock to last me the year."
"Nah it only smells right if you're using it." Leaning in once more and giving her a gentle kiss. "Gonna miss you, magic green."
Tommy cleared his throat getting the two's attention.
"Yes?" Lizzie asked looking around Adam, and then she sighed.
"Hey, don't forget about us too." Tommy jokes
"You're wearing bright white; I don't think you could be hard to miss." Lizzie replies while shading her eyes with her hand.
The rangers all laugh at the joke.
"Well, I guess, I have to use sickness inducing portkey." Lizzie groaned
They all hug one last time before Lizzie activates the portkey sending her off to her new school year.
Lizzie walked into a landing, she had finally learned that trick, but the spinning still made her nauseas. She then walked to the Leaky Cauldron.
Tom smiles and waves a hand to her "Lizzie back from the states, are you? had a good summer?" He asks as he passes a key to her.
"Yeah, I just wish it wasn't so short." Lizzie answers, as she got the key, "Have me a firewhiskey, ready? I'm going to put the stuff in my room."
"Sure, love; it'll be ready when you come down." Tom agreed
Lizzie went up to her room; put her stuff up. She came back down, and walked up and sat on a barstool.
Tom placed a glass of amber liquid. "So how are things back home; you seem a bit down?"
Lizzie took the glass, taking a sip. "I am in the beginnings of a new relationship and now I have to deal with a long-distance relationship."
Tom nods "Ah young love, I remember it well but the question is do you both think you can make it work." He asked as he wiped a glass.
"Not sure." Lizzie answered taking another gulp of the fiery liquid.
"Well then, if you think about him how do you feel." Tom leaned on the counter in front of her.
"Little too early in the relationship to think about that, we just out of the friend/flirting stage." Lizzie replies. "Anyway, enough about me. Anything new happen here?"
"Well you should have been here last week had a celebrity come in to shop in the alley." Tom answered with a knowing grin.
Lizzie finished off the glass, and stared blankly at Tom, "What a Power Ranger walked right into the pub?"
"A power what? No, no Harry Potter came in with Hagrid to get his school supplies." Tom beamed at her.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. The Wizarding World doesn't know about recent events in the Muggle World." Lizzie states, "And what's so great about a kid?" she knew who the boy-who-lived was but she could care less. She had enough of adoring fans being a Ranger.
Tom looked at her with a shocked expression on his face "Now Lizzie, I know you heard the story of what happened to him and his family, the maker watch their souls." he murmured the last part.
"Of course, but no one knows what really happened so why bother with a kid when you have no proof." Lizzie answers, "I'm not going to worship the ground he walks on, or the air, he breathes."
The bartender thought about that then nodded "Your right, the only people that might know are all dead."
"Yeah, so I'm going to treat the boy as what he is, a boy." Lizzie replies, "Besides the only thing he and I have in common is that our parents are dead."
"Good that's just what he needs an older witch or wizard to help him." Tom agreed
"I can teach him a lot more than just tutoring him in magic." Lizzie replies, "I am a martial artist." She stood up, "I'm going to go into the alley for a bit, just to see if I can't catch some friends off guard."
Tom just waves "Enjoy yourself just don't good getting in trouble like the last time."
"That wasn't my fault." Lizzie retorts, before sticking her tongue out at Tom. She headed out the back into the alley, she had made a withdraw from the Gringotts Branch in the states.
As she made her way through the alley, she saw a pair of red heads leaving the joke shop.
Lizzie made her way to the red heads, "Hey boys."
The two turn to look at the voice "Lizzie, your back, how was your summer?" The twin on the left spoke.
"Great." Lizzie answers, with a smile on her face as her mind went to one person.
"That's great ours was good as well but I think I have found something you could help us with if you can?" The twin on the right asks
"No can do, boys. I'm not looking for detentions this year." Lizzie answers, as she walked with the two, "Anyway, I just like to tell you, I'm officially off the market."
"What say it ain't so why oh why must you crush our young hearts." The two moan in unison.
"Because I like guys that I can spar with and you two don't cut it and your pranks will get me into major trouble with my mentor." Lizzie replies.
The twins give a heavy sigh "Well I guess that are dreams having one of the hottest birds in the school are all over."
"Birds?" Lizzie questions, "We have got to work your American slang, its hottest chicks."
"What ever deary anyway so who's the lucky bloke that won the grand prize." Fred asks
"His name's Adam." Lizzie answers, "And I am not a prize, that makes me sound like some slave at auction, who can place the highest bid wins."
"You know we don't mean it like that." George shot back.
"Yeah I know." Lizzie replies, "So has Wood sent anything about practice or am I on the sidelines again this year?"
"No not yet but we figure by the time we get to the school."
"Well we do need try-outs for a new Seeker." Lizzie comments, "Maybe he's pulling his hair out right now."
"After that last lost to the Slytherins I would think so." Fred agreed.
"Well even you got to admit, that my skills put Flint in his place." Lizzie replies
"That a fact I say bug wood till he gives you the spot you've earned it." George said while giving Lizzie a friendly nudge.
Lizzie shrugged, "I don't mind, I proved I'm a fair flyer, I think it was I turned him down for a date." She stopped "See ya on the train tomorrow, but I'm going back to the Cauldron."
The twins nod and gave a wave as they left to head for home.
The next day, Lizzie was tired because she stayed up half the night practicing her karate stances, because she was still set on American time. She made her way down to the pub and got a simple breakfast.
After she ate, she took normal bus to the station. She wouldn't dare to use the Knight Bus, because she would hex the driver or worse.
As she got off at king's cross-station, she saw it was the normal rush of people. Lizzie made it onto the platform and entered the train, she took a compartment and sat down, intend on sleeping the whole ride.
A few minutes before the train left the station she heard the door open and a voice squeaked out "Oh sorry I didn't know anybody was here I leave sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, I planned it that way; I was planning on sleeping the whole way." Lizzie replied as she sat up. "Name's Lizzie."
"Oh um I'm Harry it's nice to meet you."
"Likewise." Lizzie responds, "And I know of your past in the wizarding world, and for the record, I could care less."
