*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Saturday September 13th D Day
7:00 am.
The four some awoke to sun in their eyes and annoying bewitched alarm clocks buzzing in their ears.
Mione was the first to raise, as usual, then Draco, followed by Hanna and Tom.
Hanna didn't put them through their lessons the night before, mainly because today would be testing each of their own endurances.
Mione had the coffee with creamer all set out and a breakfast delivered for all of them. They ate, in their last relaxed moment.
Draco Proceeded to get dressed in his all black muggle ensemble. Mione and Hanna cleaned up, and Tom headed for the library.
A tapping on the window drew Mione's attention as she noted the beautiful bird perched outside. She opened it and let the bird in.
Mione picked up the letter that it dropped and looked at the address.
"My letter arrived." She notified everyone as she read it.
'Dear Mione,
I am not about to ask why you need this information, but apparently you do. Flooing into Hogwarts is the same everywhere else, but you must say 'Hogwarts' then the proper name of the room. IE Gryffindor Tower.
Hope this helps.
Sirius.'
"Well, I'm off." Draco walked out of Toms room "Have fun everyone."
"Draco, to floo here, you must say 'Hogwarts Head Tower.' Got it?"
"Yes, luck, Mione Hanna, see you later, and remember what I said about Snape."
They both nodded. "Bye and good luck." As Draco stepped into the fire place shouting 'Black Mansion!' and was gone soon after.
"Well," Hanna turned to Mione "Help Tom out after you find out what Snape wants us to do, no clue why he's in on this though. I had better start getting things is shops pre picked out." Hanna Hugged her, and left saying 'Diagon Ally!'
Mione left quickly for the dungeons.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco Arrived in the house almost instantly. His father and mother greeted him with knowing smiles, as he nodded and quickly left down the street.
They had a few hours of extra time, and, knowing how females worked, he figured that they'd need it for shopping.
The first house, Ray's, was a brilliant Purple, knocking on the door, since he did trust what sound would come from the bell, he was greeted quickly by Ray.
"Have your stuff?"
"All packed, one bag." She showed him, and he nodded, and they went down to the blandly white house that belonged to the Spinets.
"What do we do after this?"
"Get you witchly equipped, you'll meet Hanna then." Ray nodded as they knocked on Dora's door.
He wasn't as lucky as before.
Dora's Mom, of all people greeted him with a stern "where ever your taking my baby, I can get there as good as you can."
"Mame." Draco started hoping that his sucking up paid off. "We have already booked transportation; you wouldn't want the schools money to go to waste?"
"I want to go and see the place she'll be."
Dora arrived behind he mother and gave Draco an 'I'm sorry' smile, which turned into a glare at her mom.
"Please mom it's only two days! Not even that! They'll be able to reach you if I'm hurt."
"But I wish to talk with you sweet heart." In a voice Draco recognized as a voice one used while manipulating.
"Mrs. Spinet, we must hurry, so please." Dora slipped by her mom and waved.
"I'll call when I get there!" she smiled with her fingers crossed behind her back. Draco smirked.
"Come on now, we have to get you to Hanna." And they walked up to Draco's house at a quickened speed. They couldn't run because, they were after all, carrying luggage.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mione found her way to Snape's office rather quickly, without being stopped. And when she knocked, he answered promptly.
"Professor? Malfoy asked if I could get some information from you that he needs." She said the practiced words.
Snape looked up at her and raised an eyebrow. "Tell him to see me when he can." He responded.
"Yes, sir." And she left. There was nothing she could do about it, at least and not have him guess completely at their plan.
Since there was nothing else to do, she went to the library, to help Tom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hanna was pacing in front of Gringotts waiting for Draco. She was a few minutes early, having done her quick grab by relatively fast.
So naturally when Draco and the two arrived on time, she was completely out of patience.
"Finally!"
"What do you mean finally?" Draco snapped at her. "I'm on time."
"oh!" she turned her attention to the two girls "you must be Dora and Ray, tis a pleasure. I'm Hanna, your shopping consultant while your visiting." She held out her hand, of which they both took in turn, and shook.
"Well, I had better be off now, your three have fun, and for Merlin's sake Hanna, find your patience, or you'll make stupid mistakes that we can't afford." He chided and left.
"Well you two, let's get some robes on your bodies before people notice." And she dragged them off to Madam Malkin's Robes for all occasions.
Once they left Dora possessed one dark green robe and two black. Ray possessed a maroon and two black as well.
(Written at the Turn of the New Year)
They made a quick stop at the apothecary, then headed onto the bookshop.
After being at flourish and Blotts for what seemed like forever, Hanna went to see what was taking then so long.
Apparently, Hanna wasn't a book worm.
"You have to give us an hour more, these are so interesting!" Dora whined.
"PLEASE?" Ray begged.
"There's a decent book store at Hogsmead, I'll take you there later, but not so many books! You're supposed to look like students, not new witches!"
and they left to floo.
Mione was sitting by the fire place they were intending to use, reading and waiting for them.
"Alright, now how do we get to the school?" Hanna greeted Mione in a quick fashion, causing her to jump.
"This way, Ray I'll take your bag, Hanna will take yours Dora-." She didn't get to finish the instructions because she was well smashed in between the hugs of her friends by then.
"Get off her or we'll never get back!" Hanna snapped, and the three separated. "Sorry, shouldn't have snapped, but we are on a tight schedule."
"It's alright Hanna," Ray looked at the girl to her friend. "Now how do we complete our journey?"
"Oh you're no where near done." Mione stated. "We have much more to do when we arrive, yet. To get to Hogwarts we simply say 'Hogwarts head tower.' Just as you did to get here." They all nodded and Dora stepped first into the fireplace.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Draco went to the library right after he left Hanna; there he found Mione and Tom working diligently.
"Oh Draco!" Mione exclaimed when she saw him. "Go see Snape; he wouldn't give me any information."
And that's exactly what he did next.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Mr. Malfoy, nice to see you, have the two females arrived yet?"
"Not yet professor, in a while."
"Having troubles?" he raised an eye brow.
"No, they are shopping at the moment in diagon ally."
Snape looked up at him in complete shock "You let two muggles lose in diagon ally?!"
Draco rolled his eyes. "No professor, they have a guide. I told Hanna that two of my foreign friends had come to visit and needed to be toured around the place."
"So, where are they from?"
"America." Draco said using Miones pre made excuse.
"Wise, Mr. Malfoy, I do hope that your using the same story?"
"Yes."
"May I have it?"
"Certainly, since you're going to be making it so it seems real. Doreen and Rachel aka Dora and Ray have been at Salem academy but have been home schooled for the last three years." Draco told the lie that the four of them had worked out the night prior. "Dora and Ray have been pen pals to me and Granger, and so they decided to come and visit. Dora is Grangers pen pall Ray is mine."
Snape nodded. "Professor McGonagall notified me about your extraordinary transfiguration ability, now I believe that you've worked out that they can't possibly get wands, as they are muggles, so this is what I suggest you do."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Ray and Dora arrived, their mouths dropped. Thank god they were in the tower, a reaction like that would have lead to questions had other students been around.
But it was only Draco Tom Hanna and Hermione.
Hermione was promptly squeezed in gratification by her two friends. "Groff!" she managed as they let go.
"Now, we must complete your transfer to our world." Tom stepped forward. "I'm Tom, in charge of making you have magic, or at least seem to." He looked at Hanna, "Hann will be getting you used to seeing magic on a regular basis, so you can easily visit. Draco will be getting you your wands and other essentials, Mione will get you temporarily sorted, so that when ever you visit, you have a place to stay, even though you'll be here mostly."
"What if we aren't in a house with any of you?" Dora asked a wise question that was greeted by laughter.
"Dora," Mione started once she regained control of her giggles. "There are four houses; I'm from Gryffindor, home of the brave and righteous."
"I'm from Slytherin." Draco added. "Home to the ambitious and cunning"
"I'm from Hufflepuff." Hanna Chirped up "Home of the Loyal and kind of heart."
"And I" Tom smiled proudly, "am from Ravenclaw, home of the wise and diligent."
"So as you can plainly tell," Mione finished. "no matter where you are sorted, you'll be with one of us."
Ray who had been listening, and calculating on her fingers looked up. "That's messed up."
"What?" the four looked at her oddly.
"Draco should be in Hufflepuff, Hanna in Gryffindor Hermione in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Toms fine, but your three are sorted wrong." She shook her head. Dora looked thoughtful.
"She's right you know. Hanna has shown courage beyond that that Mione holds, Draco has always been kind and a loyal friend to us, and Mione you are far more ambitious and wise then you are righteous."
Draco blinked at her then fell over and started laughing.
Mione glared at him "What? Don't tell me you agree."
"No its just, say that to anyone in this school and they'll put you in St. Mungos!" he managed in between outbursts.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Ray asked "Are we sorted by the student body?"
"No by a hat, it's just that it sorts us with who we are when we were eleven." Tom explained. "People can change a lot during seven years, so we don't stand out however, most people here get used to acting certain ways. Mione is highly righteous; in fact she assists in the saving of this school yearly from evil forces." Tom smirked. "Draco has the longest record of cunning antics of anyone in the school and Hanna is the most loyal person that I have ever met."
Dora and Ray had their mouths on the ground.
"We just act differently around people we feel we don't have to prove ourselves to." Hanna assisted.
"I see." Dora thought. "That makes sense, now," she faced Draco with a smirk much like his own, "about those wands."
"Oh right!" Draco jumped into a standing position. "Tom you need to get them their 'magic' or else this wont work."
"Right, now this is rather simple, but takes a bit of work to get." He started "we are going to be using muggle antics to get your magic, mixed with wizarding ways. Mione." And Hermione walked over and took Doras right hand and Rays left. "She'll be transferring some of her other powers into you." And Mione did.
They were glowing after she was done. "Wow." As well as other shocked words come from their mouths. Draco walked over to Mione to give her a hand.
"You don't feel too faint do you?" he asked concerned. "Is all of your magic still enacted?"
She nodded and went and sat on a chair, "I'm just burned, that takes work to do."
"Now you two, that's only the first step." Tom continued. "Now you must close you eyes and check your moods, when ever your are scared, pissed or grieved. Or when ever you are willing to do anything to get something, your newly acquired powers will respond. It will take a while, you might not even have it when you leave on Monday, but I ask that you don't sue it among muggles"
"You two also must remember to look at the world differently when you wish to use it, considering the power I gave you." Mione added.
Tom nodded and continued. "You should practice relaxed breathing to control your wants so that they aren't bursting out and about the muggle world. Understood?"
"yes." They both responded as the gold faded.
"Wand time!" Draco announced. "We are going to see Snape; Hanna, Tom help Mione get to the headmaster."
"I'm going with Draco." Mione said instantly. "Tom you and Hanna get the hat."
"Alright." Tom agreed.
And they separated.
