Erika, Sarah and Jackie's Story Chapters: Fifteen-Sixteen
Author's Note Number One: See? The last part was exciting! And in this one we start our 'quest'! Trust me, it'll be weird. I know 'cuz it came to me in a dream. Yep. I think that this fanfic has turned into a novella. It'll probably be about 35 chapters in all, maybe more. Wow, I know. If you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them – this is my first story, after all. Do you think it's going ok?

And here we go…
~Chapter Fifteen: A Letter From the Sire~
The eleven of us ::including Candy and the boys:: decided, during breakfast, that we would go to Dumbledore with the matter right after breakfast.
"Professor McGonagall? Could you take us to Professor Dumbledore's office? It's an emergency," Loly requested.
"Sure, my dear. Follow me," was the reply.
"Wow, Letta, you really must be the Queen! She'd never do that for me without asking questions," Remus whispered to Loly.
Loly just shrugged continued walking. Soon we were in front of a giant gargoyle statue. Professor McGonagall just said "Every Flavor Beans" and the gargoyle hopped out of the way and ran and opened the wall. We walked down a long coridor until we came to some winding stairs. We walked up those and in front of us was a big door. She knocked twice and Professor Dumbledore opened the door and ushered us in.
"What can I do for you, children?" Dumbledore asked us.
"Well, when we last went to Hogsmead, Cassie, Candy, Loly, Lily, Val and I got our fortunes read. They said that I am the Lovely, Loly is the Queen, Candy is the Questioner, Lily is the Protectress, Val is the Speaker and Cassie is the Keeper. She also said that Cassie, Loly, and I have two special powers each. Anyway, she said that all of us would be going on a quest to find someone close to us. She also said that Cassie would be involved in a different way. Well, yesterday Cassie was kidnapped by Sire Kingslond and we think that this is the quest. Madame Grandebas also said that we are the only ones who can save her," I said, relating our story.
"Oh, then this would explain the owl I got from a certain Sire. Here it is, please read it. I think you'll find it most interesting," Dumbledore relpied.
The letter read:
Lovely, Queen, Questioner, Protectress and Speaker,
I have the Keeper and shall draw the secret of the Tricky Trio from her. You shan't see her again unless you can find us and defeat me. Something you'll never do. To make the search even I'll give you four clues:
One: Another time, 2015, and another world.
Two: The hole's under Polaris.
Three: Ask the Green.
Four: Bring no one with the eleven of you, or else you shall die, immediately.
The one you'll never catch –
Sire Kingslond
"Uh-oh. He wants us to go look for her!" Peter shrieked. ::at this point in time he is a good person, don't worry, I'm not hallucinating! I still hate him. And he gets evil later in my story. If I do a sequel when this is finished you'll find out how. But don't worry, I just know that he'll get what he deserves!::
"Well, no duh! This is exactly what we said last night! This is our quest – to find Cassie!" Loly told him.
"I think I can interpret some of these clues," Candy said, bending over the parchment to study it closer.
"I think that it says that we have to go to the year 2015 to find out more, and that the eleven of us kids have to go by ourselves" Candy said.
"Well, children, I must send you out to find her. It would be too dangerous if any adults came – they'd kill you immediately. I'm pretty sure he has spys out there, but since he thinks this is a game he won't kill you directly," Dumbledore stated.
"As much as I hate it, I agree. They should go tomarrow. 7:00 am. Today the eleven of you will train with Professor Dumbledore. That way, you'll probably be able to defeat him." Professor McGonagall said.
"Well, Minerva, would you be so kind as to pack their things up? Thank you," Dumbledore said as we got ready to train.
"Now children, the first spell you should learn is…" Dumbledore started.
The rest of the day was spent learning curses, counter curses, charms, and - for Loly and I – how to use our special powers. By the end of the day Dumbledore's office had been scorched, flooded and inhabited by a horse and a snow lepord. We also found out that even with our special powers we could only do these things when we were wearing our rings and saying 'I call upon the power of water ::in my case, fire in Loly's:: to ______ ::whatever we wanted::' or 'Snow lepord' or 'Horse'. It was really quite tiring.
Soon the day was done, and we had all gone to sleep.
~Chapter Sixteen: Into the Future~
Brrrrrrring! My alarm sounded. It was 6:00 in the morning and I was tired. But no, I couldn't sleep. This time it was Val who woke up.
"OMG!!! We only have an hour to get ready and go into the future!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!! C'mon! Let's hurry! Everybody move!" Val shrieked.
"Fine, fine, fine. Gawd, Val you gotta take a chill pill. See? I'm gettin' ready. Calm down, Val. Really," Lily said, getting up.
"I think that we should dress in jeans and stuff, you know, things to travel in," I suggested.
"Good idea," Lily said. And we all dressed in jeans and packed a few clothes, met Candy and the others, and went to the kitchen for some food. Then we went to Dumbledore's office.
"Ahhhh, I'm glad you could make it. Now let's get you on your way to 2015!" Dumbledore greeted us.
"Yes. What do we have to do?" Nat asked.
"Just put these on," Dumbledore relpied to him, handing out Time Turners. "And turn it clockwise 15 times. Good bye and good luck. Remember what I've taught you and don't – I repeat – don't listen to what Sire Kingslond tells you! Trust yourselves and you will be fine. A future me will be in this office to greet you. See you in 15 years!"
And with that we put on our Time Turners and turned them clockwise 15 times. Then there was a giant rush of color and then there was quiet. Soon there was an old Dumbledore there to greet us.
"Hello, children. It's the Tricky Trio and co. and Peter Pettigrew if I remember correctly. Your names are Chloe Hunter, Nat Sanders, Loletta Marcez, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, Valarie Craton, Tod Backet, Candy Dilan, Peter Pettigrew and – OMG!!!! Lily Jamison and James Potter!!!!!!! I forgot that you were the Tricky Trio's friends. Well, I can't tell you your future, so please don't ask me," Future Dumbledore said.
"You guys, let's go start our search! We have to find Cassie!" Candy said.
"Yes. But I suggest that you wait until tonight. Then you can look for the star Polaris – as it says in this letter," Future Dumbldore said, pulling out a piece of frayed parchmet that had been Sire Kingslond's letter. "I think that you should have this, it'll help you in case you forget the clues," he said handing Candy the parchment.
"Yes, yes. Of course. Where should we wait, though?" I asked.
"Oh, um, how about in the library? I'll make sure no one to bothers you," Future Dumbledore said.
And with that, we were off to the library.
While we were there, we decided to see if we were in any of the books – you know, to find out what our futures would be.
We all started leafing though books. And it was Lily who found the one of our futures first.
"Hmmm…," Lily said, falling into a fit of giggles. "It says that our Tod here becomes the Minister's second hand man. It also says that he's married!"
"Who's the lucky lady, Lil? Anybody that we know?" Loly asked.
"Well, as a matter-of-fact yes! But she'd absolutly kill me if I told! It would show who she is seceratly in luv with! Ha, ha, ha!" Lily laughed, sending a wink in Val's direction.
"You guys, maybe, just maybe we should drop this and plan what we're gonna do tonight. That way we'll be ready for whatever Kingslond send's us!" Lily screamed at us though the laughter.
"Sheesh! Kay, Lil, just don't kill us!" James said.
"Aww, jeeze, James, you take the fun out of everythin'!" was Lily's kind reply.
"Well, that's my job!" James told her.
"I think that we should plan. Maybe the rest of us, besides Chloe and Loly, should get wepons. You know since they already have them – fire and all," responsible Val spoke up.
"Yeah. I want a, uh, uh, something! Yeah that's it – a something!" Tod yelled.
"Oh, god. He's kinda hyper. I think that he needs a bit of cooling off, Chloe, if you know what I mean?" Loly asked.
"Oh… I call upon the power of water to rain on Tod!" I shouted, as my ring glowed. That was a good sign – it ment that the power was working. And sure enough when I looked up there was a drenched Tod in front of me with a rain could pouring down on top of him. Val actually fell down on the floor laughing.
"Very funny, you guys. Just laugh and laugh at poor Tod! Ha ha ha," Tod said, sarcasticaly.
"Hehe pour get it? – pour! Ha ha ha! Tod you're hilarious!" Nat said between gails of laughter.
And that was how we spent the day – thinking about weapons for our group, using Loly's and my powers, and laughing so hard it hurt. Little did we know that soon there would be no time for laughter.
