Harry takes his Invisibility Cloak out of his pocket and tosses it to the Wizards, saying "Put that on, all of you. Then get inside."

Duman asks "What? What's the cloak do?"

"Makes the wearer invisible. Bloom says they can sense a new magic trail."

All four Wizards go pale at the thought of being found by any of the Warrior Fairies, and quickly get the cloak on. They get down the stairs, with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Specialists following, but Nebula flies in and in front of them.

"Well, if the Wizards aren't here, I bet you all can tell me where they are."

"INCENDIO!" A ball of fire burning nearly white hits Nebula in the side and sends her flying - Bloom's glaring at her angrily, and yells "You want them, you have to go through me first!"

It takes a moment for everyone to realize she's probably talking about Harry, Ron, and Hermione specifically - she doesn't know the Wizards are under the cloak, and Nebula likely won't go after the Specialists right away.

Harry mutters "Let's go, Bloom's the best dueler in our age."

Hermione says "She has to be, she was the one that saved our hides time and again."

Nebula's a lot stronger than she was the first time the Wizards beat her and imprisoned her in Tir Nan Og, she's beating most of the Winx easily - Bloom is another story. Bloom holds her own and then some, and both girls get slammed into walls and the ground a lot as the fight goes on.

Harry goes to help, but Bloom says No, Harry, get the Wizards inside - I'll keep Nebula busy.

Bloom-

No! I'll handle Nebbie, you don't die!

Bloom, I'm not planning on dying anytime soon. But-

But nothing! Just because you aren't planning on something happening doesn't mean it won't happen. I'm not losing you again, Harry. That's final.

Bloom breaks the connection off, leaving Harry with no choice but to lead everyone back to the school building - facing an angry Bloom is something you can only do so many times before your luck runs out, even if your dating her.

The Wizards hide in the storage room, and start seriously wondering about the many explosions and banging noises they can hear from outside - it sounds like they're throwing massive rocks at each other out there! Unbeknownst to them, Bloom is actually hurling large amounts of stone at Nebula - along with fireballs, spells, and the occasional punch to the face.

Nebula yells "Give up the Wizards of the Black Circle! They must pay for their crimes!"

Bloom rolls her eyes, and says "Right, and I'm just supposed to do what you say because you say it really loudly? Nice try, that doesn't work on me." She blocks a spell that looks like a ball of electricity from Nebula, as Stella groans and gets to her knees. "Stella, get the others out of here!"

"Uh…what? Bloom, you can't fight Nebula on your own!"

"I've fought worse than her, Stella, get the rest of the Winx inside!" Bloom's look is so determined that Stella nods and runs to Aisha while Bloom keeps Nebula's attention focused on her.

Roxy gets grazed by a blast from the two dueling fairies, and ends up in front of the storage room - where the Wizards are still hiding. She goes inside, then nearly has a heart attack when she hears a voice whisper her name. She whips around, until Ogron takes the cloak off all four of them. "Wow, that thing really works then."

Anagan says "Don't know why they have it, but yeah, it works. What's happening out there?"

"Bloom and Nebula are dueling, I don't know who's winning. Also, those flying balls from before, Bludgers they called them, keep coming back and nearly hitting them." The sounds of fighting suddenly shoot way up into the air, and Roxy peeks out to see Nebula and Bloom flying around and blasting at each other. "What are you four even doing in here?"

"We hid in here after a blast nearly hit us, is it safe to make a break for the school?"

Roxy chances another peek out of the doorway, and says "Yeah, I'd keep that cloak on though. She really wants you four dead."

Duman scoffs and says "Gee, I'd never have guessed that."

Roxy rolls her eyes and makes a break to help Flora up from the ground.

The Wizards make it to the school intact, but by the time they do the fighting has stopped. Duman's out of breath, and says "I don't…hear anything…"

The rest of the Winx, and their boyfriends are there as well, along with Harry, Ron, and Hermione - but the one person missing is Bloom. Harry suddenly freezes and pales, and asks "Where would this Nebula have taken someone? If, say, she wanted information?"

Techna frowns, and says "Tir Nan Og Isle. The home of the Earth Fairies. Why?"

"Bloom's…she's gone."

Everyone stares at him for a moment, and Stella asks "How do you know? Bloom said she's fought worse than Nebula, if anyone could beat her, it would be Bloom!"

Harry shakes his head, and says "We're connected. I can sense her, she can sense me, we can talk to each other in our heads - sometimes I can feel her pain if it's bad enough. And one thing I know for sure is she's very, very far away from where we are right now."

Sky asks "How'd you two-"

"I don't know, it happened somehow at the end of year one. We were fighting Quirrell in the dungeons, we passed out, Bloom used the last of her strength to heal me, and through the whole summer we both started noticing that we could feel each other's feelings, predict what the other was going to do - and when we got to Hogwarts, I discovered what her not being in the same room as me was like with the connection between us, like it got stretched in the direction she was. Now, it's so tight it feels like it could snap - except it can't, not even death could break it."

Stella says "Alright, let's go to Tir Nan Og Isle then!"

Hermione asks "Wait, hold up a moment, where is Tir Nan Og Isle anyway?"

Techna says "The physical island is off the coast of Ireland, but the Fairies' Realm is hidden from humans - much like this school and anything else to do with the Wizarding World is hidden from them."

Ron says "Ok, Muggles can't see the castle."

"It's more than that, the castle literally isn't there until the Gate is opened - good thing Roxy has the key."

The Animal Fairy grins and makes the White Circle grow bigger in her hands. "What are we waiting for then? Let's go save a fairy!"

The Wizards are obviously staying - they didn't hide from Nebula only to get killed by her and whatever of the Warrior Fairies she has still whipped in a frenzy to get them.

Hermione says "Wait! I'm all for saving my best friend for eight years - don't get me wrong there - but if we just rush into this then we'll end up getting captured as well - and even though it's a safe bet Bloom won't give them so much as a bloody shoe size, nobody else is nearly as stubborn as her. Nebula gets us, someone will be forced to tell her Ogron, Anagan, Gantlos, and Duman are here - and then I'm sure we can all guess what will happen next. So, before we rush off to Ireland to save our friend, let's get a few things first to make it possible. Your Firebolt, for instance, Harry."

Duman asks "Why wouldn't they get anything out of Bloom?"

Harry says "Nobody is as stubborn as Bloom. In year five, Umbridge and her gang of Slytherin kids tried to make her tell them about what we were doing and where - she didn't give them anything but frustration and shock, not even under the Cruciatus Curse. Bloom ended up unconscious for two days on a couch in the Gryffindor common room, when shocked everyone with a miracle-recovery in time for the OWL's."

Ron snickers and says "The looks on all their faces were priceless though, and Umbridge dropped her cup of tea instantly - and then Bloom subtly implied that she didn't have her wand, and took the gem that was part of it out of her pocket."

Anagan whistles, and says "Not hard to guess how she got that."

"Umbridge's entire office was destroyed, her wand exploded, and Bloom fell unconscious."

They Apparate to 12 Grimmauld Place to get Harry's broom along with anything else that might come in handy - and Sirius says he's coming with, and Remus offers but he has a kid to raise. Roxy uses the White Circle, and then they're on an island in the middle of the ocean with a castle rising in the distance.

AN: Ok, nobody freak out, please. Nebula might be crazy, but she's not stronger than Bloom. Chances are Nebula just got incredibly lucky and a Bludger hit Bloom from behind - because there's no way someone got the better of the best dueler in the entire history of Hogwarts.
