Harry Potter and the Four Muggle Strangers
Chapter 1/ Intro- The Time Machine Strikes Again
"Hey, you guys!" Jenn said brightly. She prepared for some major fun at her friend Joy's sleepover/get-together party. She was loaded down with her stuff which included pillows, bags, stuffed animals (about seven of them), and videos for them to watch that night.
"Great! You're here just in time! Ale brought over her favorite DBZ episode tapes! We're all laughing at Vegeta in his pink "BAD MAN" shirt! You know the one he wore right before the Android/Cell saga?" Joy practically shouted kind of fast in a very excited, very hyper voice.
"Woah!" Jenn took a step away from Joy. "It seems to me that you have had your share of caffeine already."
"Nope. Just a little excited about tonight!" Joy replied.
"Boy, is that an understatement," Jenn muttered as they ran up the stairs to join Jenn's other friend Angel and Ale.
A little later
"I'm not saying that this will be correct or anything. Heck what these cards are telling us may not happen until tomorrow, next week, next month, or even ten years from now. You can never tell," Joy told Jenn from her computer. Joy calmed down eventually and read Jenn her past, present, and future with her tarot cards.
"I think you're going to be right. I mean after all, the got most of my past and present right," Jenn replied back to Joy while shrugging her shoulders.
"I can't believe that you forgot what order Joy put the cards in. She told you specifically to remember the order, then what did you do? You forgot!" Angel muttered obvious amazed by Jenn's forgetfulness.
"Oh damn (A/N: Sorry but that was my first swear word ever in one of my stories. It fits her character better) it! You meanie! Leave my poor Articuno alone!" shouted Ale. Ale had ignored Joy, Jenn, and Angel while she was playing her Pokemon Gold version on her Game Boy Advanced.
"You know that they can't hear you, Ale," Jenn told her, "Any way Angel, I can remember things for school like for history and math and science and stuff, but that's about all I can really remember well. I tell ya— Algebra I tests scramble your brain cells," Jenn countered with a pout.
"Well… I can't really argue with that…" Angel trailed off while rolling her eyes. She had started in Honors Algebra, but then dropped out because the class and tests were really hard (particularly the tests).
"I don't know… Sometimes we really have to wonder when it comes to Jenn. Is it really the algebra or just the sugar?" Ale asked them, finally getting really fed up with her Pokemon game.
"Geometry Plains and Solids isn't any better. If it isn't, it must be harder," Jenn told her crossly, folding her arms over her chest.
"Are we a little cranky today? Did you not have all your sugar today?" Angel joked.
"No," Jenn pouted.
"Well you're the little baby of the group anyway," Angel said hugging Jenn. That was true Jenn was the smallest and the youngest (by a little less than three weeks) of the group of teenagers.
It's all right. We'll be wired with sugar and caffeine by the time we finish eating," Joy told Jenn, trying to perk her up out of her bad mood. "Don't be such a downer. We're here to have today. Go get some sugar and let's all have a good time."
"Hey! What was that?" Ale said suddenly, putting a finger to her lips obviously trying to hush to the group so she could hear the sound that she just heard. "Sh… Listen closely.
Everyone in the room who were talking shut up at once and listened closely to hear the sound that Ale just shushed them to hear. Sure enough, she was right. There was a light scratching sound that was coming from Joy's window. Joy turned and looked out at her window and jumped back, definitely surprised at what she saw.
The other girls saw what Joy saw too. "Holy cow!" Jenn shouted while she jumped and spasmed in surprised, "What the heck is that owl doing here? I mean, I don't think I've ever seen an owl in my life except on TV and photos."
"Look. There's something tied to its leg," Ale said. "They look like pieces of paper or something."
Sure enough, there was the owl. It obviously wanted in to Joy's room. The pieces of paper around its leg were bound pretty tight to its leg; it must have got it tangled on something.
"Should we let him in? I mean, is it safe to? It could have rabies or some other fatal disease," Jenn asked kind of dumbly.
"Whoever heard of a bird having rabies?!" Angel asked Jenn.
"Well… It's always a possibility you know. You never know these days," Jenn said in a childish sort of voice.
"I don't really see any harm in at least letting it inside so we could free it from those pieces of paper. Then we can let it go so Joy's mom doesn't freak out or anything. It looks painful," Ale told them. Ale was the voice of reason in the group, since she was able to control Jenn and Joy's hyperness and Angel's impatientness.
Joy opened up her window to let the bird in. The bird flew in and perched on Joy's dresser as if it were like any branches on a tree. As it flew in, it dropped something on the ground. When Joy came to take off the pieces of paper, it lifted its leg up obediently as if it knew that was the reason that she let it in. When she was done, she handed the papers to Jenn to throw away. As if it just fulfilled its duty, it flew off into the night.
"Wow. That was really, really weird. How could it just perch on my desk like that and wait so patiently to have the papers taken off? Most birds I know would freak out and go crazy in the room, but that one was as calm as can be," Joy asked, giving Ale a questioning look.
"Don't look at me. I have no idea why that just happened," Ale told her, shifting uneasily in her seat on the bed.
"I'm not saying that you would know what just happened. I just think that was just really weird," Joy countered.
"Well it couldn't be as weird as this… These pieces of paper have our names on them." Jenn handed them each their own respectable paper. "Now look at this. This here looks sorta like an invitation or application of some sort."
And it's for a school! I mean, what the heck! We started school like two days ago. And it's for a school of 'witchcraft and wizardry'. Who's the nut case that came up with that? Who's ever heard of a school for wizarding and crap? There's no such thing as magic. There would be nothing to teach," Angel asked. She was another one of those people who doesn't believe that there are such things as magic and wizards.
"Well, just keep reading, okay?" Ale told her impatiently.
"Hmm… this name on here… you know I swear I've heard of this name somewhere, or maybe I read about," Jenn said.
"Quick!" Ale said suddenly, "give her some sugar! Maybe she'll remember if we bribe her!"
"Ha ha. Very funny. Anyway, I don't know. The name is so familiar but I can't put my finger on it where I've possibly heard of it," Jenn began racking her brain for where she could have possibly have heard of the name on the piece of paper.
What name?" Joy asked. "What the hell are you talking about? Oh that one," she said after she found it by reading over the piece of paper five or six times, "you know what, I think I've seen this name somewhere, too. I can't remember where I've seen it though. I probably will remember it tomorrow." She started racking her brain with Jenn.
"What? 'Hogwarts?' What kind of a name is that? Who ever named that school definitely needs a mental check. They are obviously nuts. First wizarding school, then Hogwarts. Wait…" Angel stopped. "I understand now, this must all be some kind of joke… The kind of joke that your insane brother would pull, Jenn."
"Maybe, but how did he train that owl to deliver those piece of papers? It couldn't have possibly been him. He doesn't have the patience to train an animal like that," Jenn reasoned.
"You've gotta admit, Jenn. Angel does have a point there you know. You're brother does a lot of things that are kind of out of the ordinary," Ale pointed out.
"Okay, okay. But for some reason, I have the feeling that my brother had some outside help for this if it was him. It just doesn't really seem like a Philip style joke. He prefers surprise like startling jokes," Jenn told them.
"Oh well, let's not worry about that right now. We're here to have fun tonight. Remember?" Joy told the group while going to go get some videos. She walked back over to her desk to go get the Anime tapes that she got from the comic book store.
"Ouch!" Joy said loudly.
"You okay?" Jenn asked with concern.
"Yeah… I'm fine. I just stepped on this thing." She held it up for all of them to see. "Oh my god."
"What?" Angel asked her.
"This thing it sort of looks like that time machine that Jenn's brother built," she said simply. They all gathered around it.
"Oh my gosh, you're right," Jenn said. "This must be what the owl dropped on its way in. I wonder why it had…"
Jenn never finished her sentence because all of a sudden, a big flash of light filled the room that was bright enough to brighten the darkest night. When the light was gone; so were Ale, Angel, Jenn, and Joy.
