In a wooded area, a portal appeared, and a girl of fifteen ran out, and once she was clear, she quickly closed the portal. "Great, that is one reality that I won't be visiting," Alex said, as she rested on a tree, she tried to forget what she saw, since in the last world, she was being hunted by witch hunters, and was barely able to create a portal out of there. But unfortunately, she also had witnessed what they did to witches and wizards, and it was not pretty.
After a short rest, Alex turned to her surroundings, and found herself in an almost dense green forest, filled with beautiful flowers. "Wow, this forest is magical," she thought, since she could feel magic, radiating from the trees to the ground. "This forest feels untouched by humans," Alex thought, as she smelt some flowers, and with that thought, she closed her eyes, and sent out her senses. "What in the- I cant feel the presence of any people in Britain, but there is a large number of magical creatures, I better be careful," Alex thought, as she walked about, enjoying the scenery.
The forest, Alex was in, had a trail, which she followed, and even though she did not feel any threats, she kept all of her senses alert, while she walked.
As Alex walked, she suddenly felt someone or something hurt, and went to investigate, to find a six inch female fairy, she seem to have hurt her leg, and Alex wanted to help, so she slowly went to her. "Hi there, I want to help you," Alex said, as the fairy looked frightened at her. "Easy, I wont hurt you," Alex said, using her telepath ability, to send out her thoughts, and feelings to calm the fairy, and luckily it did, and she seemed relaxed, as Alex knelt by her.
Once Alex got the Fairy's trust, she carefully scanned the fairy. "Hmm, you got a sprained ankle, what happen to you?" Alex ask, but not really expecting a answer, Alex wandlessly cast a healing spell, as she looked the fairy over, except for its wings, and the fact it is six inches, the fairy could have pass as a young girl, maybe about her age. Alex also notice she wore a what appears to be a light blue silk fabric, that tightly cover the top of her body, and it turn into a skirt, that stopped at her knee, and as Alex looked her over, the fairy seem to do the same to her.
After less a minute of healing, and as soon as Alex was done, the fairy flew up, and away, leaving Alex alone" why thank you" Alex politely said, not caring if the fairy was grateful to her, Alex knew she did the right thing to help her.
For some time, Alex continue walking, accept for the fairy, Alex did not meet up with any other creatures, and soon, she was starting to feel hungry" oh well, I better leave now" Alex taught, and open the portal, and one last look at the forest, Alex step threw.
As Alex step threw, she found herself in another forest. "Great, I can already tell this isn't my reality," Alex thought with a sigh she sat down on a log. "Great! Three years traveling between realities. I should just give up, and settle down in one I've visited," Alex thought, but shook her head. "No, Dumbledore and my friends are waiting for me, I can't abandon them," with that thought, Alex got up, and decided to explore this reality, she teleported.
Once Alex appeared, she was startled. "Oh no, this is one of those few realities in which Hogwarts doesn't exist." Alex said, as she spied a barren field. "Something is very wrong, even though Hogwarts was not built, there should still be magic here," Alex thought, then closed her eyes, sending out her senses. There aren't any signs of magic in Europe, not even a small trace of magic, that would have told her, that magic use to exist. "No magic, then in this reality, there never been any wizards or witches, only Muggles," with that thought, Alex teleported to London.
At a shopping center, Alex appeared in an alleyway. "Good this is here in this reality," Alex thought, then dug into her backpack, to fish out her wallet, that been charmed to have ever filling bills, and headed to the stores.
As Alex walked into a shopping center. "Finally! A reality with taste!" Alex thought, as she spied a number of articles of Muggle clothing. "I should update my wardrobe," Alex thought, as she checked what she was wearing, a plain green shirt and faded jeans. She also knew from her shrunken trunk, she needed new clothing, since everything was over half a year old. "I knew I should have pick up something else from a couple realities back," she thought, since the last one, didn't have anything interesting to buy, and with that thought, Alex went in a fancy clothing store.
As Alex got to the door of the clothes store, someone grab her shoulders, and Alex was about to wandlessly curse the person, but quickly stopped herself, since she didn't felt threaten, and when she looked at the person. "Mom," Alex only said, to an older copy of herself. " 'Mom', is that all you can say?!?! You have been missing for four days Alexandra Evans! Four days! You know how worried I was, when you disappeared, without a note, or a phone call, you had better have an incredibly good explanation for this," Lily scolded, as she took Alex arm, and dragged her away to the parking lot, and into a car.
Neither spoke till Lily parked in front of a modern two story house, and both got out. "Now get yourself changed and freshen up, I want to talk to you, once you are done," Lily said, as Alex followed her into the house, and with a quick scan Lily's mind, Alex knew enough, to know where is Alexandra's room was, and a little of what was happening, then went straight to her room.
Once in Alexander's room, Alex looked into Alexandra's closets, and found mostly Jeans, shorts, blouses, and shirts. "Oh well, I guess I should get changed," with that said, Alex magically cleaned herself up, and changed into a blouse, which only took a minute for her to do.
Once Alex was all set, she looked around the room. It was a typical girls room, with stuffed animals on the bed, light collars scattered about, and pictures of animals on the walls. "Wow, this how my room at Crystal's looks like," Alex said, then spied a computer, and quickly went to it to check the web.
Once on the web, Alex looked about, to check out the world, and found nothing had change" look like this reality, is a typical one, only small changes, not anything major, accept for no wizards or witches living on this planet" Alex thought, then looked into local news, and found a article, on a serial killer on the loose.
KILLER OF TEN CHILDREN STILL AT LARGE.
After six months of searching, police still have no clue as to who is responsible for the murder of ten children in the course of six months, each child was found two to three weeks apart, the current abduction, is a fifteen year old named Alexandra Evans who was taken just days ago. If you have any information on her whereabouts, please contact your local police department.
Once Alex read this, she knew now why Lily was upset over her. "Great, if this article is right, she has only days to live," with that thought, Alex closed her eyes, and began using her abilities to scan long distance. "ALEXANDRA, get out here now!!!" Lily called from downstairs. "Sorry, I wish I could stay and talk, but I need to leave now," Alex thought, and teleported.
Once Alex appeared, she was in a wooded area, facing a six feet tall, by nine feet wide, wooden shack. "Please be alright," Alex thought, and quickly went inside.
Once inside, Alex found Alexandra, she was beaten, but was alive. "Don't worry help is here," Alex said, as she bent down and took out her wand. "Tagli Salutari," Alex said, and Alexandra's body began to glow. "I need to keep this spell on her till she is fully healed," Alex thought, but as she concentrated on Alexandra, there was a sudden explosion behind her, and Alex turned quickly to see a man being thrown threw the wooden shack wall. "What the-" Alex thought, and ran to see what just happened.
Outside, ten feet from the shack, a man who looked like Tom Riddle was lying on the ground unconscious. "So he is a serial in this reality," Alex thought, but suddenly realized what ever happened to him had saved her life, since he had a large knife near him. "But what saved me, I didn't have any protection charms on me," Alex thought, trying to think of how he was thrown, but quickly remember Alexandra. "Petrificus Totalus," Alex said, and cast the full body bind spell, to keep Riddle in place.
It took several minutes to fully heal Alexandra, and once Alex was done, Alexandra was stirring. "Don't worry you are safe," Alex calmly said, as Alexandra was looking frightened. "Here eat something, you need to get your strength up," Alex said, handing Alexandra some conjured food. "Who are you, you look like me," Alexandra asked. "Sorry that's classified, but I'm here to help you, and don't worry, I got your abductor tied up, he wont be able to hurt anyone anymore," Alex assured her, as they ate.
Once they both had eaten, Alex led Alexandra out, to see a fully tied man. "What is the number to the police?" Alex asked, as she took out her cell phone, that was charmed to work in any reality that uses them, and Alexandra told Alex.
In half an hour, several cops were headed their way, and were startled to find out that two girls had taken out a dangerous guy. "So this is your story, you kicked him through the wall, and he fell unconscious?" a large police officer asked, once Alex was done telling a story that doesn't involve magic. "Yes that is about it sir," Alex said. "Thanks, I think that is all I need, why not get yourself checked up," the officer gestured to the ambulance waiting on the side, and Alex went there to check up on Alexandra.
At the ambulance, Alex knew she should leave now, but wanted to first check if Alexandra was alright. "Hello there," Alex said, as she came up to Alexandra, who was being fully checked over. "Your friend is very lucky," the nurse said to Alex. "We had expected to find her beaten or worse," the nurse continued, as she gestured Alex into the ambulance. "I'm fine, he didn't hurt me, since I just found the shack while walking in the woods," Alex said hoping the nurse would buy it. "Alright, since you don't look any worse then Alexandra, I believe you," the nurse then turned to the cops, that had distanced themselves from the ambulance, to give the girls some privacy, while they were checked. "OFFICER MILLS," the nurse called, and once he arrived, Mills took the girls home.
As Alex sat in the car, Alexandra turned to her. "Alright who are you, I feel like we are connected somehow," she asked looking puzzled. "Well, I'm not sure I should tell you, but I'm your guardian angel," Alex said, a second before she teleported. "What the-" Alexandra only could say.
Once Alex appeared, she was standing by the store she was going to go in the beginning" that is strange, I have a feeling I don't need extra clothing" Alex thought, and decided to go with her feelings, and walked away from the store to look around.
As Alex walked around, the shopping center, she saw a bookstore, and went in. "Hmm, not much of a selection," Alex thought, as she randomly picked up a paperback. "Great many of them I have read already," Alex thought, then spied a poster that made her do a double take. "No way, this can't be right," Alex thought, as she looked over it. "HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX," shaking her head. "So in this reality, we are nothing but characters in a story," Alex thought, then making a decision, Alex bought the five books and made her way out of the store.
Once Alex got a quick look around, and found nothing else interesting, she made a beeline to an deserted alleyway, and open a portal to the next reality praying this was the way home.
A/N; It is not a mistake, when I said, Alex look fifteen, when she spent three years jumping realities, it will be explain in next chapter.
