Chapter 2: ...It's Real?

Cassie gaped at the castle behind them while Eleanor calmly climbed out of the car and walked over to where the man was pinning down Amy. "Uh, you might want to be careful, she's quite fragile... bruises easily."

The black haired man turned his piercing onyx gaze on Eleanor, sizing up the girl. "Who are you and what is your purpose in coming here?" He had a very silky voice, and a proper British accent.

"It's Snape!" Amy continued to giggle rather insanely.

The man glanced down at her, then back at Eleanor. "And how does she know my name?"

Ella folded her arms over her chest, smirking slightly. "Well, I believe she knows your name because she's the biggest fangirl you've got." A black eyebrow arching elegantly was the only response Eleanor was given, and so she continued on in her explanations. "Well, my name is Eleanor Jolie, the silly girl you're pinning to the ground is Amy MacLeod, and the one still in the car gaping at the huge castle behind us is Cassandra Graustark. Now, before I say anything else, I rather suggest you let Amy up, and take us to see the Headmaster before Lupin decides he's tired of watching us, and would much rather have a midnight snack."

Snape glanced over to Lupin, who was indeed licking his lips as though he thought the girls might make a tasty treat. Nodding curtly towards the violet-haired girl, who had identified herself as Eleanor, he rose and brought the one she'd called Amy up to a standing position with him. He regretted this immediately as she suddenly clung to him. "Why is she clinging to me?" he asked Eleanor through clenched teeth.

"Didn't I already say she was your biggest fangirl?"

Snape sent Eleanor patented Death Glare #207 before prying Amy off of him. He magically bound her wrists with ropes that shot from his wand. "Please do keep your hands to yourself, girl."

By the time, Cassie had joined the group, and was watching the werewolf closely. "Uh yeah, just ignore Amy. She does that sometimes." Lupin moved a little closer to the group, "Can you tell him to leave my car alone?"

The Potions Master sneered and turned to the werewolf, "Come with us, Lupin, we're taking them to the Headmaster." The werewolf gave a slight nod and bounded ahead of the group to the castle.


The trip through the castle was a fairly quiet one, as the intruders were too caught up in staring at things in awe to really say much. When the quintet arrived at the gargoyle which served as an entrance to the Headmaster's office, Amy suddenly cried out "Lemon Drops!" and giggled as the gargoyle hopped aside. Snape glanced at her suspiciously before stepping up onto the revolving staircase as it wound its way up to the door of the office.

He raised his hand to knock, but stopped short, "Come in, Severus. Don't keep our guests in suspense."

Snape glared at the door before opening it quickly and preceding the group into the office. Amy, Cassandra, and Eleanor followed quickly behind him, and Lupin brought up the rear.

"Please, have a seat ladies." He motioned to three comfy looking chairs in front of his desk, which the girls quickly sat in. He saw Amy's bound wrists, and, giving a disapproving look to Snape, waved his wand at them, making them vanish. "Lemon drop?" He extended a tin of the small yellow candies towards the girls, and they all eagerly reached forward and took some.

"Oh! Candy! Awesome!" Cassandra popped a lemon drop in her mouth, while Amy did the same and giggled.

Snape stared at the girls in shock. He'd never seen anyone accept those blasted candies of his. He caught sight of Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkling madly and sank down into a chair (unfortunately) next to Amy. "Well, Albus? Shouldn't you start questioning these intruders?"

Amy glared briefly at Snape before a grin replaced it on her face. "We're not intruders, Professor Snape! We just... sort of... ended up here."

"Where are you from, children?"

"Uh, Houston... but we're sort of from a place where this," Cassie gestured with her hands at the office and its occupants, "is all fictional. It's all from a children's series of books by the British chick."

"Indeed." Dumbledore surveyed them over his half-moon spectacles. "We're from a book, you say?"

"Yeah!" Amy nodded enthusiastically. "Right now she's only written five books of the seven she has planned. It chronicles the life of Harry Potter and the battle against the Dark Lord." Snape snorted, but Amy continued on, undaunted. "Right now, in the books, Harry's just finished his fifth year of school, and Sirius died." Lupin whimpered behind them, and Amy gave him a sympathetic look. "That's what I said when I read it."

"If I might interrupt," Snape glared at Amy, "but why would anyone write books about that Potter brat?"

"Because he's the one prophesied to kill Voldemort." Amy stuck her tongue out at Snape.

Eleanor gave the Headmaster a curious glance, "Has that happened here yet, by the way?"

"Yeah, is this a Voldie-free place? Cause I totally don't want to get in the way of any dark lords while I'm here." Cassie slumped in her seat, her arms crossed over her chest.

Dumbledore smiled broadly, "Why, yes. Tom was defeated nearly seven years ago now, just before the end of Harry's seventh year. Harry graciously took up the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that following fall."

"Awesome! I always knew that's the way it'd happen!" Amy bounced in her seat, much to the annoyance of Snape.

Eleanor cleared her throat, glaring slightly at Amy, who immediately calmed. Snape pondered why Eleanor had such an effect on the girl, but he could not manage to get her to shut up for more than a few seconds. Eleanor turned her gaze back to Dumbledore, "Professor Dumbledore, do you think that there is a way back to our world? Or are we going to be stuck here?"

The old wizard studied them for a few moments, lost in thought. He smiled warmly again, "Well. I shall have to research it, and there's no telling how long it will take to get you back, if you are ever able to return at all." Cassandra looked slightly put-out by that, but Amy grinned broadly. "So, until we can find a way for you to return, if we can find a way, I would like to invite you to stay here at Hogwart's. How old are you, children?"

Eleanor spoke for the group, "Well, I'm 19, Amy is 20, and Cassie will be 21 next week."

"Too old to attend classes, then." Dumbledore paused for a moment before that twinkle increased twenty fold in his eyes, "Well, then. I propose this. You live here at the castle, the teachers and myself will tutor you in the subjects here, and starting next week you can all become teaching assistants for a specific class. And if it is determined that you cannot return home, then perhaps we will consider apprenticing you to teachers here, so that you might be able to get a job in our world."

"Albus, you can't be serious!" Snape stood. "Why are you allowing these muggles to stay here?"

Eleanor turned her icy blue glare on Snape, "Who said that we were ordinary muggles, Professor." She smiled wickedly, "Even where we are from we are not considered normal. We have... powers."

Snape arched an eyebrow at Eleanor. "Indeed."

"She's right, you know!" Amy stood and waved her hand lazily in the air. Snape was quite shocked (though he masked it well) to see a trail of silver sparks falling from her fingers. "Isn't my aura pretty?!" The girl giggled and sat back down.

"Well, Severus. I think that would be proof that these young ladies are magically inclined. I think that Saturday we shall take them on a trip to Diagon Alley to purchase the things they will need for living here. The school will pay for everything, of course."

Cassandra smiled, "Thank you, sir." She glanced at Eleanor and Amy, "Now, not to be rude or anything... but I'm hungry. And tired."

Snape distinctly heard Amy and Eleanor mutter something about "hobbits" and "always hungry or tired or both". He said nothing but turned towards the door. "Where shall we have them room, Albus?"

"I think there is room in the teacher's dormitories enough for three more." The headmaster smiled, "Yes, I should think that would be appropriate, seeing as they will become assistants to a few members of the staff."

Snape inclined his head and began to leave the office, "Follow me." The girls said their thanks to the Headmaster and hurried after Snape.

The walk to the Teacher's Tower was a quick one, and he led them to the common room. "I shall summon a house elf to bring you something to eat in a moment." He motioned towards the stairs behind them, "Those stairs lead to the teacher's quarters. Each one has a bedroom, a study, and a kitchenette. Occupied rooms have the name of the teacher who lives there on them. You may take whichever rooms you desire as long as they are unoccupied. Now," he glared at them, "I am going to summon a house elf, and then I am going to bed. Good night."

The three girls watched Snape as he retreated up the stairs and off somewhere to his private quarters. Amy suddenly burst out giggling, "I can't believe this is all real! Oh! I am so going to find a room near his so I can bug him!" Cassie and Ella rolled their eyes, but their attention was soon diverted by the trays of food and drinks that appeared in front of them.

They ate their fill before wandering up the stairs to find rooms. As she said before, Amy found Snape's quarters and was quite surprised to find that the room beside it, and the two rooms across from it were unoccupied. The girls smiled wickedly and each claimed a room – Amy next to Snape, Eleanor across from her, and Cassandra next to Ella. They each flopped down in their four poster beds and quickly drifted off to sleep, wondering that if when they woke up, they would discover all this to have been a dream.


A/N: Chapter 3 coming soon! Probably tomorrow, maybe later tonight though. Ja!
