You-know-who as they all belong to one very special author in England who is
not me. The events in this story make no claim to anything of J.K. Rowlings
but attempt to create a fantasy story of what will happen to them in college
and tell an amusing tale, which I hope you'll enjoy.
Harry saw the insides of the ship were a comfortable atmosphere of party
room and commons to make it easy for new students to get to know another in
the hour-long trip. Harry had almost gotten use to the concept of
"dislocated space" which meant the 70 foot long ship's five story insides
with a indoor pool and Quidditch field didn't really come as that great of a
shock to him.
"So Albus is using a memory charm to help you get through not ever attending
wizard's school huh?" Harry asked with a towel over his shoulder as he
walked forward through the deck of the ship having gone for a swim with Ron,
Hermione, and her new friend Phillip. He seemed like a nice enough fellow
if a bit overwhelmed by all the new things he was being taught.
"Well yes.he said it was important I learn magic and that it was unfortunate
I was missed, or something like that." Phillip said sighing, he was a very
good swimmer which rather contrasted with the fact that Harry noted the man
was a complete klutz. Then again he probably couldn't blame him for it.
"Well I think it's personally very barbaric." Hermione blinked wearing a two
piece both Harry and Ron were very uncomfortable letting several of the
other fellows in the ship stare at. They'd forgiven Phillip it out of
politeness to Hermione's new friend but he was mostly looking at her eyes
anyway. He had a look of a man completely head over heals, it was a pity
Hermione didn't seem to notice.
"Well it's really not so bad. Professor Dumbledore says that I can't really
learn the traditional way so giving me memories of another Wizard's time
at.Hogwarts is about the only way I can catch up. Still it's very
disconcerting and it will take a full three months to get through the seven
years safely and I'll still need a lot of tutoring to refine my craft, not
to mention I have no clue how I'm going to keep up with my classes.." The
fellow smirked apparently just glad he had found some new friends in the
world of magic he'd just been dumped into by all accounts. Harry was pretty
sure Dumbledore was up to something, the headmaster of Hogwarts never did
anything without a reason and it was one thing to teach a wizard raised a
muggle the basics of magic to avoid getting hurt but it was quite another to
send him off to the best magical college in the world! There was definitely
something not right here.
"Any side effects?" Ron said, okay with Phillip ever since he found out that
his memories had put him in Ravenclaw and not Slytherin.
"I've developed the oddest tendency to use 19th century slang. Otherwise
no." Phillip said honestly reaching his cabin as Hermes and Crookshanks
chattered like old friends behind the group. "Well this is my stop. Thank
you all very much..I hope to see you at the college."
"Bye." Hermione said smiling as he headed inside and both Ron and Harry
looked down at her.
"What?" Hermione said blinking. "He's a nice guy in need of some help."
"I'm sure you'll be tutoring him as well." Ron shook his head obviously
disgusted though his jealousy had cooled considerably since fifth year. "Let
's head up on deck and I can tell you about the girl I met on the pier."
Harry rolled his eyes and Hermione shook her head "Ron you've told us about
her seven times already.twice with Phillip and once with Cho. Not to
mention your barely escaping her hulkish ogre assigned to guard her." Harry
sighed. The girl had apparently made a serious impression on his friend in
the few short seconds they had known each other.
"She's just.incredible." Ron said obviously apparently going to risk bodily
harm and death to court someone who probably was just being polite to the
Weasley.
Heading onboard the deck Harry saw the old Sea-wizard was at the wheel of
the vessel still steering as the Air-Elemental continued blowing in the ship
's sails. Harry saw the Old man was staring intently forward into the mists
and it was Hermione who first spotted the island.
"Look Harry there it is!" the beautiful witch pointed to the island forming
it seemed out of the mists as the island's features became distinct in just
a few moments. Harry was once again agape.
The collegium of New Avalon was surrounded by huge jagged cliffs that formed
a circular barrier around the island. Harry could barely make out the
hundreds of caves and wooden bridges which criss crossed around it. The
entrance to the college seemed to be a gigantic set of stone doors, which
stood in the water over the one break in the cliffs around the island. To
his surprise Harry saw the stone doors move through the water creating waves
as the boat passed underneath a pair of statuesque giant stont sorcerers
that looked down upon the boat as it passed under them.
"New Avalon supposedly was helped built with the sidhe who originally owned
the island but deeded it to Gryffindor's sister Morwen when she saved there
King." Hermione looked up as Harry saw them pass through the cliffs and come
to a paradisial set of gardens and marble stone buildings that formed a
miniature city of every conceivable magical structure Harry could imagine.
In the docks they were approaching Harry saw a Chinese junk, Lousian
caravel, and other purely wizard designed vessels that signaled the variety
of students attending.
"LAND HO!" the boat's captain cried as Harry shrugged his shoulders and got
ready to enter the collegium.and his new life.
"Do you hear a waterfall?" Ron said shrugging and whistling for Pigwidgeon
to fly up as the rest of the students began ascending onto the deck.

Morgana sighed at Dumbledore as she moved the chess piece with a wave of her
fingers and caused the knight to boldly charge into the horde of pawns as he
once again lost her the game by refusing to follow the rules.
"Really you should get that piece replaced Morgana." Dumbledore said leaning
back in his own chair in the secluded library of the Headmistress of New
Avalon.
"I would you old flirt but he tries so hard to be heroic.it's hard to let
him go." Morgana sighed shaking her head. "Still I think we've beat around
the bush long enough my sweet Headmaster of Hogwarts, my students will be
waiting for my opening speech and I must not keep them waiting." She smiled
tickling the aged wizard on the chin as he struggled desperately to maintain
his dignity.
"I'm coming about Grindelwald." Dumbledore finally said looking upwards to
the breathtakingly beautiful woman who had taken over for her apprentice
Morwen after her death seven hundred years ago at the ripe old age of 403.
Morgana still looked to be in her early thirties however and it was
impossible to deny her fairy heritage along with perhaps a few maintenance
potions but it wasn't polite to bring that up with a lady had kept her
young.
"What about him? He was a twisted and evil man who was a disgrace to
Hogwarts. You said so yourself Dumbledore. Might I also note it has been
four decades since his defeat, a pittance of time but really one long ago
enough that you should have lain your mind to rest about him." Morgana said
lightly preparing her papers which were stacked very high, Dumbledore couldn
't imagine the witch doing anything resembling filing so he always wondered
how it got done, or if she just had miles of vaults filled with it.
"The quill of Ravenclaw indicated I was not as perfectly successful in
laying to rest his evil from this Earth as I would hope to have been." Albus
said shaking his head. Also moving his pointed hat's front over the back
because it was sagging over his head, meaning he had to get a new one.
"That quill has always had a rather large flair for the dramatic. The
threat of the Chaos Bringer and the Prime magic is no more Dumbledore
really." Morgana sighed heading towards her personally library vault through
a secret passage nonetheless, knowing Dumbledore's answer before he said it.
"Nonetheless I'd like to see the book to make sure." Dumbledore recalled the
forbidden tome that had been penned nearly a century earlier and had almost
been the seed of the world's destruction. The Prime Magic had made
Grindelwald strong but he was praying it had not allowed him to cheat death
as it was too unpredictable and warping to have left even the scarcely sane
Grindelwald with any sense of order to his mind. Dumbledore had advocated
the destruction of the tome but the ministry had found no way to be able to
do so and the Transfiguration teacher turned Hero had preferred it here in
New Avalon rather than in the hands of the Ministry. Foresight, that had
probably saved Voldemort from being able to wield the darkest of dark arts.
Morgana returned with an embarrassed flush to her shapely cheeks which was
more loss of control than the passionate woman had likely shown in a
thousand years. "Unfortunately..Headmaster I must regret to inform you that
the Tome of Grindelwald the Chaos Bringer has disappeared."
