~^v^~ On to Chapter 2

***Hogwarts - Care of Magical Creatures - Late Fall***

Harry Sighed as he rotated his egg once more. Setting the tongs aside, he looked over at his two best friends. Somehow, they had managed to get the same fireplace. As for Harry, well, he got stuck with Goyle.

'If only I was paired up with Draco' he thought sullenly. 'Ron and 'Mione are across the room with their eggs at the same fire, I'm stuck with Gooyle, and Draco's stuck with Crabbe! Why, oh why, are the Fates so cruel? Fortunately, mine and Draco's are right next to eachother. Unfortunately, Dumb and Dumber are sitting next to eachother and I can't talk to Drake.'

As his mind wandered some more, he turned the egg over in the embers of the flame once more.

Hagrid, Harry's teacher and friend, had given each person in their class an egg. A fire-drake egg. Hagrid had always had something for dragons, and because the school board (the professors and Dumbledore, among others) said 'no' he could not have the students hatch dragons, he settled for the next best thing... mini-dragons, also known as fire-drakes. Somehow, he was able to aquire enough eggs for one double class, so he chose his sixth year Gryffindor-Slytherin class to take care of them.

So, here they were, in a new building filled with numerous fireplaces, sitting around rotating a bunch of eggs. Looking around once more, Harry noticed that there was a faint light floating above them. He was about to call Hagrid over when it suddenly flared and momentarily blinded him. There was a simultanious gasp around the room as something - no, MANY somethings - fell on top of him and Goyle. A strange groan was all he heard as he passed out.

~^v^~

Lina groaned again as she clenched the blackish stone. Trying to move, she discovered that many bodies were on top of her. Opening her eyes, all she could see was yellow. A moment later, she noticed that the chest against hers was deffinately male, and she took a deep breth and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Gourry! Get the HELL off of me you PERVERT!" Struggling, Lina tried to push Gourry off, to no avail. Lina, her head sticking out of the pile, looked around when she could not shift her living blanket off of her. Seeing a bunch of people staring at her, her temper flared once more. "Well? Arn't you going to help me?" she schrieked, glaring at the class.

About two minutes later, a huge man lumbered over and started to pull the bodies off of her.

Getting up, Lina looked around with death in her eyes, searching for a certian purple haired mazoku. Seeing him sitting next to the closest fireplace, she rounded on him.

"Xellos! What the hell is this black stone? Where are we?! Bring us back home right NOW!"

"Sa, sa... Lina-chan, one question at a time. First, sore wa himitsu desu; second, we are at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and third, I can't do that." Xellos said, while trying to look innocent.

"And why not?" she whispered, with a chill in her voice. "And don't you DARE say that is a secret, Xellos." A chillingly deadly promice was held in her voice.

"Because I did not make that stone, of course! You know that if I had made it it would have been blood red, not a silvery black." he said, as if it were a fact. "Plus, only the one who made it can bring us back to our world." A small smile played over his lips. Observing everyone else in the room, he noticed a red-haired boy and a girl with bushy hair helping up one of the people they had landed on while another huge boy helped up the other. He also noticed how a boy with silvery blonde hair tried not to look longingly and worried over at the first boy the two were helping. Brining her attention back to Lina, he noticed she was sputtering.

"What do you mean you didn't make it?! How did you get it? Why did you give it to me? Who made it? Where did YOU get it?" Noticing that she was rambling, she paused. "And why are you giving me this information?" A quiet chuckle earned Xellos another hard glare.

"Sore wa himitsu desu, Lina-chan!" Wagging his finger at her, and Lina was stopped from retorting when an old man with a long beard walked in with a plump woman. Xellos walkid over to the man, who was obviously powerful, and started to talk to him in low tones.

~^v^~

Draco watched in amusement as the bicker between the short red-head and the purple-haired guy ended when Dumbledore entered. Hearing a chuckle, he noticed that Dumbledore and the guy he heard was called Xellos talk in low tones. It was the Headmaster who had chuckled, and he stepped up to address the whole class. Meanwhile, Madam Pomfrey worked her way through the tangle of bodies, levetating all the people Hagrid had moved aside to free the red-head onto floating strechers. His attention, however, was drawn from where his boyfriend was being checked over by Pomfrey to Dumbledore, who was starting to talk to the class.

"Now, we have some guests who will be staying here for a while, if you would all follow me to the Great Hall, I can introduce all of our guests to every one at dinner.'

With that, everyone who was able to followed Dumbledore to the great Hall, as class was practically over with anyways.

TBC...
