Portals of Life

Chapter 2

(A/n: Last chapter: Someone *Fred, hint hint.* Summoned a portal: The Hogwarts express lost a bunch of students, namely, Wood, Fred and Andilynn. The last chapter was really short. Sorry about that.

Fred felt his stomach knot up. He suddenly saw that he was falling towards a river. He landed on a rock with a thud.

*Don't laugh. Its not funny.*

He turned to gasp for air and rolled off the rock into the current. He gasped as he saw two people falling from the sky. Fred gasped for air as the current pulled him under. One of the two figures surfaced. She was too weak to fight the current. Another surfaced. It was Wood! Fred gripped onto a large rock and pulled himself up. Wood grabbed for the girl, but he lost his grip. Fred then realized who the girl was. IT WAS ANDI!

The current sped her down the river. She was too weak. Fred grabbed her arm. She was shaking. Fred yelled as the current pulled her under. Fred looked at her terrified face. "NO!" He yelled. He started to pull her up. She slowly surfaced. "Grab my arm!" Fred said holding out his hand. She nodded and grabbed it. Fred pulled her onto the flat rock.

(Let me explain the rock. It's about 10 feet long, and flat. It's the largest rock on the whole river. Now let me explain this for later. Andi is wearing a blue muggle t-shirt. Not much fabric. Wood is wearing a black muggle t-shirt also. Fred is wearing a white t-shirt with a Hawaiian shirt over it. Comprende?)

Wood released the rock he was on and let the current push him to Fred's rock. He quickly climbed up onto it. Fred looked at him, then to Andi. Fred pulled off his muggle over shirt and covered Andi in it.

"We gotta get her warm." Fred said. Wood looked from the rock to where the old bridge once was. It looked new. The train was gone too. Wood gasped and grabbed for his wand. It was there but it was broken in half. Fred wasn't as worried about it, He was worried about Andi. Her cheeks were a pale blue. Her lips were turning purple. She was shaking heavily.

Wood started to jump from rock to rock. "I'm going to find the train." Wood told Fred. Fred nodded. Andi looked up at him. "It's so cold." She said, her vice drifting off. Fred nodded. He was cold as well. "I know." He said. He placed her head in his lap. She started to close her eyes.

"No!" Fred said suddenly. "Don't go to sleep." She slowly nodded. Fred helped her sit up. She placed her head on his sholder. "Why did we break up?" Fred asked suddenly. She sighed softly. " I knew something was going to happen. I don't know, it was just a feeling." Fred nodded and wrapped his arm around her cold soaked body. She was colder than he was.

"I just wanna be warm again." She whispered. Fred nodded. Andi's head rested on his sholder.

Wood ran down the bridge that the train was riding on. It was gone, but there train tracks. But they weren't even finshed. 'How could this be?' Wood thought to himself as he ran through a field. He smiled Hogwarts was ahead. Maybe he could find someone to help him there.

He suddenly tripped. Wood yelled as he went down. Suddenly a boy appeared out of the weeds. Wood spit the dirt out of his mouth. It was Ron Weasly. Wood stood up and Ron went bright red. Wood grabbed his small arm.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. Ron shook his head. "I dunno." Ron looked to the sky, which was turning a bright red. "I fell here." Wood gasped. "You too?" Suddenly Ron gasped and pulled Ron to the ground. "There's something, or someone out there." Wood looked around. "Do you have a wand?" Ron nodded and pulled out his wand. "Is Harry here?" Ron shrugged. "I dunno." Wood sighed. Ron was NOT any help. "All I know." Ron said. "Is that I fell from the sky."

Fred stood up. He had Andi's sleeping body in his arms. Fred had let her go to sleep at sundown. Then meanwhile he made a stone path so he could carry he across the river. Andi stirred for a moment as Fred started across the river, but he made it safely.

Fred set Andi down on the soft green grass. She stirred once more, then she started to sleep soundly once more. The moon was bright. Fred felt a chill go up his spine. "It's a full moon." He muttered as if he was talking to Andi. Fred started to build a camp.

He started a fire with no trouble at all, but then he tried to change a rock into a blanket, but failed. He turned it into a gecko and it ran away.

Andi awoke as the moon was starting to set. The sun was growing over the hills, giving her blonde (With streaks.) hair a heavenly glow. Fred knew Andi was still cold. Her clothes were dry. She helped Fred make blankets out of rocks. Then Fred wrapped Andi up.

She was still cold. Her hands were like ice, her lips were a pale purple color, her skin was as pale as snow also. She was resting on Fred. Fred had his arm around her.

"Why didn't you come for me?" Andi asked him. He looked at her. "I was worried. I was ill. I didn't eat and Wood and Angelina disappeared." His voice trailed off. Andi looked down. "It was so cold. I was all alone and those echoing evil screams and laughs." Andi shuddered and wiped a tear off her face.

"I'm stuck." She said. "I don't know what to do." Fred looked at her. "Why?" He asked. Andi sighed. "I love you, but I love Wood at the same time." Fred felt his stomach knot up. "Andilynn, don't feel pressured to choose who you love. Love takes time." Andi nodded then sighed.

Wood and Ron ran through the night. They stopped in awe when they saw Hogwarts. The castle seemed new. The doors weren't as scratched up, and the stone looked fresh. Wood looked at Ron. "Were not where we were before." He told him. Ron nodded in awe. "Were almost 200 years in the past!"
