CHAPTER EIGHT: Going Home (But this still isn't the last chapter. My fic is only half way done, thanks to my friend Erica!)
The next morning Daine, Numair, Alanna, George, Ron, Harry, Hermione, McGonagall, and a sore, hurting Snape were woken by Gunther, the runner asking them, to go the King's study now. When they all arrived Jon said to them, "We have figured out how to send you five home, but we will need Numair and Alanna's help, it is a very complicated spell. What you need to do is…", Jon explained to them what needed to be done to send them home. "Now no one else should be in the room with you, just in case."
"I'll stay here with Numair…if that's alright with you sire." Daine said
"And I too would like to stay." George said.
"I guess that is alright. They may even need to use some of your sight and Wild magic. I am closing the door, you know what to do?"
They all nodded. "Alright. Good Luck and it's been nice seeing you Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Ron, Harry, and Hermione." Jon said as he left. Numair, Alanna, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape, McGonagall, Daine, George all got ready. Numair created a small portal and everyone put his or her power into until the once black portal turned bright silver. There was a loud BOOM and a flash of bright light and they were ALL gone.

Everyone landed with a crash in the middle of the Great hall.
"We're back!" Hermione exclaimed as she stood up. Snape, McGonagall, Harry, and Ron got up and looked around. Everyone was there to eat breakfast and were all staring at the people in the middle of the room.
"Where are we?" said a voice. All eyes went to the four other people standing in the middle of the room. Daine, Numair, George, and Alanna all stood up, looking dazed.
"We must have added too much power, the spell took us as well as the others…" Numair mumbled to no one in particular.
A tall, very old looking man in a hat and robe strode over to the people. "Harry, Ron, Hermione, Minerva, Severus, where have you been?"
"It was amazing professor, we were transported to another realm and it was so cool…" Harry began to explain everything to Dumbledore.
"It was quite interesting, Headmaster." McGonagall said after Harry had finished explaining everything. Dumbledore opened his mouth and was about to say something when there was a POP and a loud trill.
"Kit! What are you doing here?" Daine practically shouted. All eyes turned to the brown-haired blue-eyed girl crouching near a small, blue gold-tinged scaled lizard-like, creature that was trilling loudly.
"And who are our guests?" Dumbledore questioned Harry.
"Oh, this is Numair Salmalin, Daine Sarassri, George Cooper of Pirate's Swoop, and Sir Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau. Oh yeah, that is Skysong, or Kitten, the dragon." Harry pointed to each of the people as they bowed. There were several gasps from the crowd that heard the word Dragon. Malfoy sneered upon hearing this, Neville squeaked, and an enormous shaggy head appeared above the crowd to have a closer look at the creature.
"Well it's good to have you back. Minerva, Severus you may go sit down. Harry, Hermione, Ron please come with me. Harry there is someone waiting for you I my office that has been very anxious the past three days. Mistress Daine, Master Numair, Master George, Sir Alanna, will you please come as well?"
Everyone nodded and followed Dumbledore. They walked down a hallway to a gargoyle statue.
"Excuse me…sir? Who might you be?" Alanna asked cautiously
"I didn't tell you? Oh dear, how could I have forgotten? Well, they say the memory is the first to go…I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of this school. Ice Mice." The gargoyle jumped aside revealing a spiral stairwell. Everyone walked up and up and up until they finally came to two big oak doors. Dumbledore opened them to reveal a spacious office and a big shaggy dog. The dog ran over and greeted Harry, then eyed the strangers.
"That's no dog!" Daine said when she saw the creature. Kitten whistled and a bright sparkling fire appeared around the dog.
"Amazing." Whispered Dumbledore. "Sirius, it's alright you can change back."
The "dog" looked at Harry, then at Dumbledore before shifting into a man with black hair and a gaunt face.
"Hello." He said gruffly, and then turning to Daine, said, "How did you know I was an animagus?"
The next morning Daine, Numair, Alanna, George, Ron, Harry, Hermione, McGonagall, and a sore, hurting Snape were woken by Gunther, the runner asking them, to go the King's study now.
