Walking out the door, Harry speed-walked down the block to the teen center. Reaching a tall building, Harry looked up and saw Teen Center on one of the walls. It was a tall, brick building in a large amount of land. All around there was a huge amount of land used for sports such as football and basketball. In the front were gardens of flowers as well as benches and tables set around. Some people were sitting around and reading or talking. Many teenagers were playing sports on the many courts. Looking around at the teenagers sitting on the benches, Harry looked for Ashley. He finally saw her sitting at one of the benches near the courts. She was rubbing her hands together as if she was nervous Harry wouldn't show.
Harry walked over to her, adjusting his backpack. When he reached her and stood in front of her, she looked up and smiled.
"Ashley?" Harry asked.
"Hey Harry. Hold on a minute," she answered before turning to the basketball court behind her and shouting to them. "Hey! He's here! He's here!" She turned back to him. She looked so excited. Four other people walked over to them from the courts. Two girls and two boys. The boys were sweaty from playing basketball.
One of the boys stepped forward and extended his hand, which Harry took. He had dark brown hair and green eyes. They weren't as bright as Harry's eyes, but they were green. "Hi. I'm Jake Malon but this group here calls me Bear, which you'll learn why later."
Harry exchanged greetings when the other boy extended his hand. "So your Harry Potter? We've been trying to find you for awhile but you'll learn more about that later. I'm Matt Keper by the way. Shark is what some of my friends call me." Harry shook his hand. Matt had dirty blond hair and dark blue eyes. He was slightly taller than Harry was. Jake was a little taller than Matt.
"My name's Caroline Andrews," one of the girls said. She had bright red hair that reminded Harry of his best friend Ron. Her eyes were dark brown. "My friends call me Cat. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Liz Peterson," the other girl said. "My nickname is Seal." Liz had blond hair and light blue eyes.
"And finally, as you know, I'm Ashley," Ashley said standing next to Harry. "My last name is Strone. My nickname is Eagle. I was really nervous that you wouldn't show up."
"It's a pleasure meeting all of you," Harry said. "Why did you want me to come down here?"
The others looked at each other until Ashley spoke up. "Right here isn't the right place. How about we go up to our room?" The others nodded.
"You live here?" Harry asked.
"Not really. We live around here you might say. You'll understand when we get there," Jake explained as he turned to head toward the front doors.
"Come on. Let's go inside," Ashley said wrapping an arm around Harry's shoulders and leading him toward the doors. Before reaching them, a screech of an owl stopped them. Turning around, they saw the snowy owl heading to them and landing on Liz's outstretched arm. In one of its claws it held a piece of paper. Taking it off, Ashley unfolded it and read it to the group.
Shapeshifters- when Harry arrives, bring him home. There is much explaining to be done. - Stacy
"Shapeshifters? What's that and who's Stacy?" Harry asked looking at the small group.
"That's what we need to explain. Matt, do you have a pen?" Liz asked. Matt nodded and took a pen out of one of his pockets. Liz took it and scribbled a message on the paper.
He's here already. We'll be there in a few. - Liz
"Snow? Take this back to Lisa for us. We'll be there shortly" Liz said to the owl who took the paper and soared off.
"Snow?" Harry asked.
"That's our owl's name," Caroline explained.
Harry was thinking about how only witches and wizards use owls. At least that's what he knew. He wanted to ask them if they were magical but was debating on whether or not to. If they weren't, he would sound stupid. He went with a first instinct. "So, you use an owl for mail? Are you witches and wizards?" he asked.
The group smiled back at him. Some nodded while some said, "Yes". They started again heading for the front door. Harry was confused but decided to follow anyway. Shapeshifters kept repeating itself in his head. He didn't know what that was or why this Stacy person was calling them that. Being so deep in thought, he didn't even realize where he was going until the group stopped in front of a door. Looking around the area, Harry couldn't see anyone around.
"Where are we?" he asked.
"We have to go through this room to get home," Jake replied carefully opening the heavy door. As soon as it was open, Jake walked in followed by Caroline, Liz, Matt and finally Ashley. Harry stayed out, thinking. 'Were they dangerous?' he thought. After all, his scar wasn't hurting. Didn't it usually hurt when trouble was near? Ashley turned back to him and looked into his eyes.
"Are you coming?" she asked softly and kindly. Thinking a little about if they could be dangerous, he decided to go in anyway. If his scar didn't hurt, they must not be dangerous. Well, at least he hoped.
Once inside, Harry could fully see the room. It looked like a classroom he was in when he used to go to a muggle school. There was a chalkboard to one side as well as desks and tables. He could tell that it hasn't been used in a while due to the amount of dust laying on everything and the cobwebs in the corners.
"Where are we now?" he asked still looking around.
"This is just a vacant classroom. This is not only a place for teens to hang out but it's also a place where some teens live and learn. We go through this room to get home," Matt answered looking around the room himself.
Jake led the group through another door in the classroom. It was most likely the storage room. Once everyone was inside, Ashley closed the door. "Hold on to something. You might want to take off your glasses Harry," she warned. Harry looked at her confused but took them off. "The Gifted," she shouted very clearly. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Harry felt himself spinning. Tucking his arms to his sides, he felt as if he went through the fireplace with floo powder. The travel seemed to take awhile until he stopped spinning. Opening his eyes he saw a beautiful mansion looking back at him. His jaw dropped.
"This is where you live?" he asked.
They shook their heads. Jake, who was standing next to Harry put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Welcome to the house for the gifted."

Artemis Fire mage of Golin- This chapter and the next one are for you. I felt bad when you wrote your review so these are for you.
Satans fox- I wasn't going to do the whole heir thing because I totally agree with you. The order of the Phoenix is also outdone. Look for more powers. This is what I had in mind before you wrote. It might take some time though. Thanks for reviewing.
