Chapter 3: Owl's Landing
Soaring through the sky, the owl after leaving Harry's room and half an hour ago was still in the sky. But apparently the owl looked lost and was flying over a land he never knew existed. Hills and trees surrounded the land; he could see a circle of torches that were placed around a few of the inhabitants of this strange land. The owl was going to fly in closer but a boulder almost hit him so he turned sharply left. And when he turned left, almost got hit by someone else that was flying on something that looked like a, no wait a minute it was a GRIFFIN! Its massive wing almost literally knocked the owl out of the sky as it flew over the owl; not knowing it was even there. There was a teenage boy riding it and with a swift movement with his arm he hit the boulder back down to the ground with a tiny bat. Then after noticing that the griffin wanted to come back down, the owl sped from that spot in the sky. It wanted to land and if it was possible be safe. So the owl tried to find a nice spot to rest at and then noticed a small bench that was birched outside the circle of torches. It flew down and landed safely on it.
The owl took in again his surroundings; it was about to hoot when voices from the people of this land started speaking and the owl started listening intently.
"Ah, I like this place," One said yawning. The teenage boy that was riding the griffin earlier stood there. He had reddish-black spiked up hair with black tips. He wore a black top and long baggy black pant they looked like Muggle close but yet it didn't. He wore around his neck a necklace that held a symbol. It was a symbol of a pentacle.
It was obvious now to where the owl was. He was in Fortress Valley, a valley that was settled by sorcerers that wanted to get away from Muggles and wizards. Since wizards and sorcerers as it seems through history have barely gotten along with each other. Most sorcerers wore pentacles around their necks during certain occasions. Sorcerers also were freer and less strict on how they show their magick unless they were in school or being punished. The wizards, not noticing that sorcerers have some restriction and punishment for the way they show their magick, were always cautious around sorcerers and so the wars between sorcerers and wizards began, and they were still going on.
"Away from those wizard geeks. Isn't that right, Rye?" a friend asked him.
He turned and looked at his friend and said," Yes but didn't you get the letter? About school this coming year?"
"No, actually, I don't think I have. What is it about then, mate?" he said looking at Rye.
"Honestly, mate you have to start picking up your mail! Aviar is combining schools with that wizardring school! I thought you heard!" Rye exclaimed at his friend.
His friend, Sethryth, dropped whatever he was eating and looked at Rye. "I thought that was only a joke! How could they, I mean why would they even think of doing such a thing! What school are we combining with?" he slightly shouted at his friend.
Rye noticing that they caught the attention of a few others around them smiled then when they turned away gave a glare at his friend. The glare signaled his friend that he needed to watch his volume.
"Its called Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But you know we can give them a few surprises of our own when school starts. We can." Rye started. He was interrupted by a sudden appearance of a teenage girl with long black hair and maroon streaks in it. She was wearing a long reddish black dress. She looked at him and then at Sethryth.
"What are you two up to?" the girl said looking still at both of them.
"Uh we were just." Sethryth trailed off.
"Just talking sis that's it," Rye said smiling and then nudged Sethryth in his side. Sethryth then gave a sound that said that he was in pain.
After the pain was sort of gone he looked at his friend with a glare and started talking to the girl," Yeah we were just talking Tawni, nothing else."
Sethryth noticing that he didn't convince Tawni decided to change the subject," hey Tawni did you hear about the news about school?"
"Yeah and you know what that means," she said as if she knew what they were planning," the rules are going to be stricter. I don't think they want a war to happen at school."
The two looked at each other and then at her.
"Now, we wouldn't do anything. I mean we're not trouble makers. We always go by the rules," Rye said.
If Tawni didn't know better she would have thought that Rye was trying to pull something on her. Rye wasn't only her brother but her twin brother! She knew that each year he played tricks and disobeyed the teachers as much as she studied and freaked out about homework. Which was pretty much. Her and Rye were always considered opposites so unless others knew them they would have never figured they were twins. Rye was a slacker, but an extremely bright slacker. And on another hand she could never be a slacker since she constantly studied and worried about homework while her brother played games and didn't have a care in the world. And plus Tawni sort of liked rules and her brother didn't, he's rebellious in every way possible for a teenage boy that is 15-year old and just figuring out how to apparate from places to others. It was chaos just trying to figure out where he went all the time. But it was mainly for Tawni to worry about since the only ones left in her and her brothers' family was them.
She looked at her brother straight in the eyes and then left them. She walked over to the bench where the owl was and sat down. The owl was still there. She softly rubbed the back of his wing and started talking to herself.
"I can feel it, this year is going to be different." She started muttering to herself. "But why do I have this strange feeling that whatever is going to change may lead to something far greater."
She looked at the owl and sighed. Then she heard noise that alarmed her. She jerked her head up to the direction of the noise and when it stopped what she saw made her smile. She saw a circle of wind, with sparks of fire and water in it. When it died down, and slowly began to break apart Tawni started walking towards it. When she arrived there, there standing was three teenagers. One of them was a girl and she had long blue hair and a slender body. She was carrying a ball in her hands but it slowly faded into her as Tawni approached them closer. Another girl had red long hair that was put up in pigtails. The last and final person in the group was a guy and he had spiked up white hair with blue streaks in it. He was carrying a staff in his hands and his staff was glowing the color of his suit, white.
When Tawni finally reached them she was smiling. "Where were you guys?" she asked.
"Places," the guy answered and then gave a quick glance towards the two girls. They were nodding and returned his look.
