Chapter 1
Dumbledore knows
"Who is Professor Dumbledore," asks Serena. "Oh my," gasps Hagrid, "Alright, you youngins, let's go, we should go now to see him." Hagrid says while shaking his head and stepping out of his hut. He shuts the door behind him. "Alright, if you two will please follow me," Hagrid invites them. They just look at each other and nod their oks as they follow close behind the giant man leading them without question.
Hagrid leads the two girls into the castle and upstairs where they stop in front of a gargoyle statue. "Lemon Drops," says Hagrid to the statue. "Excuse me, but why are you talking to...Oh, it's moving. The statue, it's moving," exclaims Raye. "Yes, of course it moves, it moves ony if I tell it the right password," explains Hagrid. "Now, if you please, ladies first," he motions for the two girls to walk before him. As they walk, Serena whispers, 'Raye, where are we going?' 'Haven't you been paying attention, Meatball brain?' 'We're going to see that Dumbledore guy, whoever he is. Maybe he's the boss man of this place. And just maybe this giant dude is his right hand man playing all innocent with us,' Raye whispers. Hagrid hears this and starts laughing. "You don't understand, do you?" "You are in a school, not a prison." (AN: LOL) As he says this Serena and Raye look at each other embarrassed that they were caught whispering.
"Ok, here we are, ladies." Hagrid says as he knocks on Dumbledore's office door. "Come in," says a voice from inside the room. Serena and Raye reluctantly open the door and walk in the office. "Hello, how may help you?," Dumbledore asks. "Well, Professor, I found these youngins on my doorstep earlier, asking where they were, so I thought you might be able to help them," says Hagrid. "Thank you, Hagrid, I will take it from here." "Thank you sir, if you need me, you know where to find me." Hagrid shuts the door as he leaves the office.
"Now, please have a seat, Miss Tsukino and Miss Hino." They both gasp, "How did you know our names?" "I know many things about you that even you yourselves do not know," says Dumbledore. "If you know so much, can you please tell us where we are and why we are here?," Raye asks impatiently. "Where is the easy part, but why is another matter entirely," Dumbledore says. "Then where are we exactly?," asks Serena.
"Well Hagrid has probably already told you that you are at Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." "Well yea, he told us that, but where IS Hogwarts?," asks Raye. "Hogwarts is in a wizarding world, that of course is not anything like the muggle world." "What is a muggle world?," asks Serena. "A muggle world is a world where non-magic people live." "So how do we get out of this 'magic' world?," asks Raye. "Well for young people like you, the only way out of this world is by the Hogwarts express, but it only runs at the end of the school year." Dumbledore replies. "Oh man, not more school," complains Serena. "So does that mean we are stuck here?," asks Raye, while Serena is in her chair sulking. "I guess it does," replies Dumbledore.
"Well, since you are stuck here with nowhere else to go, and I know that you are very skilled in your magic. You and your companions might as well attend school here." "Wait a second, how did you know others came with us?," Raye asks. "I told you, I know many things," Dumbledore replies. "I will send Professor McGonagall to fetch your friends." "Professor McGonagall, will you please come here?," asks Dumbledore. The girls turn around to see a woman of 5'8 with brown hair tied up in a bun. She wore green and black robes and a black hat. The stern look on her face reminded Serena of Miss Haruna.
"Yes Professor?," asks McGonagall. "I need you to go find Miss Hotaru Tomoe, Miss Lita Kino, and Mister Darien Chiba. They will be wandering the school. You will most likely find Miss Kino wandering downstairs by the Main Staircase. Miss Tomoe and Mister Chiba will be upstairs near the fifth corridor." "Yes professor," replies McGonagall.
As Professor McGonagall departs the room, Serena and Raye give each other weird looks. "So, how does this school work, Professor? Where will we stay?," asks Raye. "We will discuss how the school operates and where you all will stay as soon as Professor McGonagall returns with the others of your party," replies Dumbledore. "Until then, would you like something to eat or drink while we wait?," "HUH, did you just say food? If you know everything, then you should know never to mention food in Serena's presence," says Raye. "HUH? FOOD? WHERE?," Serena screams. Raye sighs as Serena counts off on her fingers what she wants to eat. When Serena finally finishes her list of edibles, in less than a second and a wave of his wand, Dumbledore presents Serena with a golden plate full of delicious food, from fruits to cakes. Also a goblet of pumpkin juice, which she gulps down in one drink. "My god Serena, leave some for the mice, will ya?," Raye mumbles.
"Who is Professor Dumbledore," asks Serena. "Oh my," gasps Hagrid, "Alright, you youngins, let's go, we should go now to see him." Hagrid says while shaking his head and stepping out of his hut.
