A/N: Hi all you peoples! I finally got down and typed the second chapter after it was written a little before the first chapter was typed and posted. Every time I try to type, I end thinking why am I doing this? And then start playing a computer game. Anyway, hope you like this chapter. Please read the note at the bottom.
Disclaimer: I own Harry Potter and anyone weird enough to believe that should be sent to the nearest mental hospital or should go get a reality check. For actual disclaimer, see first chapter.
Dedication: As always, I dedicate this to my three buddies Saturn Ringer, Little Red Dragon, and UMIFIREFLY15!. The new one this time is Mirkana Falcon (sorry if I spelled it wrong!). Her fanfic is so great! You should go check it out. No wait, not now. Please read this and review and then go run over and check her stuff out.
Now on with the story!
Harry Potter and the Four Muggle Strangers
September Part 2:
Chapter 2: Four Muggles at Hogwarts
Recap: Four friends; Ale, Angel, Jenn, and Joy; were partying at Joy's house when an owl approached her window. When they let it in to take pieces of paper (invitations for Hogwarts School of Wizarding) off its leg, it dropped an object that turned out to be part of Jenn's brother's time machine. When they saw that the invitations were for them and found the time machine, there was a big flash of light, and they were gone.
A little later
"Oh my butt! I think I just broke my butt bone. Why, oh, why can't we be like cats and always on our feet?" Jenn asked to no one in particular as she stood up, rubbing her behind. "I think I just bruised my tail bone."
"Well, I don't really think that even a cat could have landed on their feet after how suddenly we fell, Jenn," Ale told her, getting off the ground painfully herself. "You'd think they'd let us off the warp on the ground, not five feet in the air."
"Hey, not everything in this world is logical you know," Jenn told them, "Like for example, take how WB's airing the CardCaptor episodes."
"Well, it mean a lot less pain for us if we were let down on the ground instead of dropped in the dog pile that we always seem to end up in," Joy pointed out.
Everyone stood up and checked out their surroundings. They seemed to be in the grand foyer of a very big house, mansion, or maybe even a castle. It was kind of drab and lifeless, not much happening nor any people moving about. It must be a castle, Jenn thought (Sorry, I think I might have to do this in a certain character's POV, and since she might be like the main character later in the story, I might as well do it in her POV. I might switch during chapters. I'll do whatever is easier for me ^_^() ).
It must have been a very old fashion castle that people lived in during the Middle Ages. The walls had many layers of crudely laid stones and mortar that lead up into ceiling, which was so high up that it couldn't possibly have been seen from the ground.
"I wouldn't want to let go of my balloon here—that's for sure. There'd be no way to get it down until it ran out of air," Angel commented.
"Whoa! This place comes with your own robes!" Joy commented as she examined her new attire. "They're a little on the baggy side, but I guess they'll do."
"Mine are way too big," Jenn said while letting the sleeves of her robes hang about six inches past her hands. "Look at this! They drag all over the floor! I wonder how I'm supposed to walk in these th—"
Just then, Jenn tripped over her robes and fell down. When she fell, a stick came out of the huge pocket in her robes.
"Hey cool stick. Maybe I have one," Ale said while she searched her robes to see if she had one. "Look, I have one too! Except mine is longer than Jenn's."
"We all have one," Joy told everyone calmly. "I think these sticks must have something to do with this world that we got sucked into."
Joy lifted up the stick carefully, and she examined it very thoroughly. She held in by what seemed to be a handle for the stick and then started to move it through the air. As she moved it, the wand started showering brilliant gold sparks from the end.
"Cool! This stick even does magic tricks. Look see!" Joy announced excitedly.
Magic tricks, the words echoed through Jenn's mind. Magic sticks. Could these sticks not just be sticks that we can pick up from the ground? Maybe these could be wands. But if these sticks are really wands, we couldn't have been sucked up into that world… could we?
"Oh! Let me see if mine does the same thing," Angel exclaimed as she held her wand the same way that Joy did.
She lifted her arm cautiously. Making slow circles through the air, Angel's stick made shimmering orange sparks that slowly floated through the air and then extinguished um…(sorry for the pun folks!) magically into the ground. "Eww… mine were orange! What an ugly color!"
"I don't think that we get a choice on what color our sparks are," Ale told her, "I guess that's not how this world works. We just have to take what we can get right now until Jenn's brother comes to get us out of this damn place."
"What do you mean wait? I'm here right now!" a voice called from nowhere.
Angel, Jenn, Joy, and Ale all looked up. There was Jenn's brother, Philip, riding on top of a broom styled "Time Machine". "I just decided to pop into this world to see how you guys were fairing."
"How dare you show your face after what you've done! I'm going to physically hurt you now!" Ale shouted angrily.
"Umm… Ale, I don't think that's such a good idea. Number one, he's almost as tall as you and Number two, he's probably stronger than you and Number three, he's been trained in karate for five or six years. I'd lay off right now if I were you. Plus if we all kick the crap out of him now, then how else will we be able to know how to get out of this stupid place without him and his time machine? He's the only one that actually understands how the piece of junk works," Jenn whispered to Ale.
"I guess you're right. I guess he'll get the easy way out this time, but only because I want to get out of this place. After all, I still have band and stuff I'm committed to."
"I know what you mean. I'm can't help but think what my coaches would do if they found out that I'm quitting for a while since I got sucked into another world," Jenn said, trying to make her feel a little bit better.
"Um… if you guys really want to know, the time between you left and the time I decide to send you back, will be the same. You're now in an altered universe so no time will pass in the real world. You could be stuck here forever but when you come back, it'll still be the same time that you left," Philip explained to the girls.
"So what you're saying is that no matter how long we stay in this world, it will always be the same time as we left?" Angel asked.
"No, you'd end up ten thousand years in the future," Philip said sarcastically. "Of course you would, smart one!"
"I don't give a shit about that! Now get me out of here!" Ale shouted impatiently.
"Now, now. Where's your manners?" Philip said teasingly. "What happened to 'please'. After all, it is a MAGIC word." He put a lot of emphasis on the word magic.
"Okay fine. If you say so." Ale took a deep breath to calm down. "Philip, will you please get me out of this stupid place?"
"Too late. Since you were rude to me earlier, I've decided to leave you and everyone else here. Bye, bye!" he said while his broom started to fly down the hall.
"You baka! You better come back this instant or I will find a way to disembowel you!" Ale threatened.
"You better come back Philip or else I will tell Mom about this!" Jenn added.
"Wow, nice comeback," Angel told Jenn sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"Ha ha. See you later. And remember have fun!" Philip said as he disappeared into thin air as he went off into the real world.
The four girls just stood there in astonishment. "Oh good going, Ale. Now we're stuck in who knows where for who knows how long. Now we'll have to wait until Jenn's brother decides to come back to pick us up," Joy said bitterly.
"Well now what?" Angel asked. "We're at a dead end right now."
"I still want to try out my stick," Ale said excitedly while pulling her sticks out of her pocket. She ran her fingers along the smooth wood. She grasped the stick in between her index finger, middle finger and thumb. She gingerly moved the wand through the air once. Nothing happened. She tried it again, but this time, bright red glittering sparks floated out of her wand… causing Jenn's robes to catch on fire.
It took a while for Jenn to notice that her robes had caught fire. When she finally did, she started to panic. "Oh my gosh! Help me someone! Please someone find water!" Jenn shouted while she tried to think of something. She remembered something from her course on fire safety about stop, drop, and roll.
She tried that but it didn't work. She was really scared now. They were in what seemed like an abandoned castle, with absolutely no living things in there. And there was no water or fire extinguisher of any kind to be found anywhere in that place.
Suddenly, a huge splash of water came out of nowhere and drenched all the flames on Jenn's robes. The area that was previously engulfed in flames looked as if that nothing ever happened. The water seemed like it evaporated into the air already.
"That was very weird. There must be elves in this place like there are in my house!" Joy said.
Or maybe, it has to do with the world that we got sucked into. There's only one world that something like this can happen. But can this really be that world? Jenn thought.
"Oh well. Things like that must happen in this world. Jenn, I want to see what color sparks that your wand makes," Angel said, acting as if the fire and the water were natural, everyday occurrences.
Jenn picked up her wand. Here goes nothing, Jenn thought as she started waving it through the air. Nothing was happening. She started to move it harder through the air. Still nothing happened. She kept trying until she was shaking the wand violently, but had no result. Finally, after one violent shake, a bright pink spark came out of the wand and flew across the room.
Almost hitting an old guy coming down the stairs. It was very close to his head. The spark went through the old man's tipped hat and hit the wall were it diminished into nothing.
"Whew!" the old man gasped. "That was very close. Normally, we don't allow students to practice magic in the halls. It seems that our caretaker seems very annoyed that he always has to clean up their mess. Anyway, I'm not sure what your old school allowed you, but those things will not be permitted. Our caretaker will find a way to make you regret what you just did. Any way, you four must be the new exchange students. America, right? We've been expecting you. The students are all anticipating on meeting you. My name is Albus Dumbledore, and welcome to Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. I hope that you'll enjoy the whole year that you will be staying with us."
TO BE CONTINUED(mostly because I'm too lazy to type anymore!)
How'd you like that chapter? I'm still new at this chapter business, but I'm still working on the Super Pikachu Saga (which has been totally rewritten) and a few other things as well. I might be able to post a little quicker since ice skating competitive season is all over. So expect the next chapter out as soon as I get myself to sit down and type (stuff for stories, but not anything for school). I really hate typing, but I like writing, even though I'm no good at it. Anyway, I have an offer for anyone who wants a cameo appearance.
You just have to answer this question right. (This question can only be answered by someone who knows the people I base my characters on or if you can guess it correctly. Not fair I know, but I'll give more opportunities later!) Any way here's the little challenge:
Arrange Joy, Angel, Ale, and Jenn in order of age and say what color sparks come out of their wand.
The first to answer that correctly will get a cameo appearance (it helps write the story instead of me making up names of everyone in the school). Put your answer in your review. I'll give you a hint: the oldest person's name starts with an "A" and the youngest person's name starts with a "J".Any way, I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as I can. Saturn Ringer, Little Red Dragon, and UMIFIREFLY15! Are not allowed to answer the question (I based the characters off them). Also if you have any ideas what I can do in this story, you could also put that in your review (this includes ideas on romance couples!)
