Disclaimer note: I do not own any Harry Potter characters J.K. Rowling does. I also do not own this idea( read the author's note to understand what idea)
(Author's note: This story is an idea that my friend Fateless Wanderer had, but she used it for the Tamora Pierce series. Nicole gave me permission to use her idea. The story starts out at my school's homecoming football game then it to switches over Hogwarts. Most of the characters will not be from the books. For example, I'm going to be in there as Kara. Fateless Wanderer is going to be herself as Nicole.
My other friends that are going to be in it are: InsideMyWorld is going to be herself as Juli-Ann, Tari Seregon is going to be herself as Katie, Ami-ImaTomLOVER is going to be herself as Michelle, redsbury is going to be herself as Elizabeth, and my friend Hayley is going to be herself (she doesn't have a fanfiction name). We will be related to most of the characters though. Hermione Granger's going to play herself. You'll see what I mean once you read the chapter. I repeat this idea belongs to my friend Nicole. If you want to check out her story, go to Fateless Wanderer and the story is called "It Should Have Happened Later". Oh yeah, one more thing--since I'm playing myself, I am going to be doing what I would normally do at a foot ball game, which is parking detail for ROTC. That's where we park the cars, and then we get into the game for free.)
"I can't believe that it's homecoming already," said Michelle.
"When are Kara and Juli-Ann going to be done with parking detail?" Katie asked.
"They said they'd be done around 7:30. They want us to meet them where all of the ROTC people hang out. I know where that is," Michelle said. Hayley stood there, listening to the two girls talk.
"Hey, there's Elizabeth," Hayley said, as she waved to a tall girl with curly brown hair.
"Hey guys, Nicole said she's going to be a tad bit late," Elizabeth said, referring to their friend who had graduated the year before. Elizabeth and Kara had not seen her for a while, so she had agreed to meet them at the game.
"Where's your sister?" Elizabeth asked Michelle. Juli-Ann and Michelle were twin sisters, but completely different. Michelle was in a class called Criminal Law and Justice. She's interested in being a lawyer. Juli-Ann is in Rotc and is interested in the military.
"Parking detail with Kara," Michelle said.
"It sure is crowded here tonight," Hayley told her friends, who nodded in agreement.
The four girls stood waiting by the fence for their college friend. Hayley, Kara and Elizabeth were all seniors, Michelle and Juli-Ann were sophomores and Katie a freshman. Nicole graduated last year and is a freshman in college.
"I've never been to a high school homecoming game before," Katie said.
"It's no big deal since we don't have a dance and all, which really sucks. In Vegas we had dances all the time. Now we just have prom," Hayley, a Las Vegas-girl at heart informed them.
Suddenly, someone poked Elizabeth, causing her to scream and turn around. Nicole stood there, laughing at her.
"Nicole, you scared me! How are you?" Elizabeth said, as she hugged her friend.
"I'm fine. Where are Kara and Juli-Ann?" Nicole asked.
"They're still doing parking detail. They're going to meet us in our usual spot," Hayley informed her friend.
"Then let's go there," Nicole suggested. They all turned to go, except Hayley. She stood looking at something in the grass. Hayley picked up the shiny object. She couldn't make out what it was because it was covered with mud. Hayley used her sweatshirt to wipe off the mud, revealing the object to be a necklace. The next thing the other girls knew, Hayley had disappeared, leaving the gold object behind in the grass.
"Where did Hayley go?" Nicole asked, turning around.
"She was just here a moment ago," Michelle stated.
"What's that on the ground?" Katie and Elizabeth asked at the same time.
Nicole went over to the fence, where they last saw their friend.
"Hey guys, come here."
The three girls went towards the fence. Nicole looked at the object in the grass.
"I don't think you should touch it," Elizabeth warned in a worried voice.
"Would you relax? It's just a necklace," Nicole said, as she picked it up.
Within seconds, the girl had disappeared.
"Where in the hell did Nicole go?" Katie asked in a this-can't-be-a-good-thing tone of voice.
"I told you we shouldn't have touched the necklace," Elizabeth said.
"I want to know where they went," Michelle said, and without thinking, the three remaining friends picked up the necklace at the same time. They disappeared, leaving the necklace behind.
Kara and Juli-Ann were done with their parking duties and waiting for their friends in their usual spot. They were ten minutes late and the game was already near the end of the first quarter.
"Where are they?" Juli-Ann asked her senior friend.
"I don't know. My sister's never late. Let's go and try to find them in the crowd down below," Kara suggested. The short brown-haired, brown-eyed girl was tired of waiting. Juli-Ann nodded. "Where did they say they were meeting Elizabeth and Nicole?"
"Near the side entrance fence," Juli-Ann said.
"Then let's go there; they could still be waiting for Nicole. I'm going to try to call Elizabeth's cell phone," Kara said, as they made their way through the crowd. Kara called her friend's cell, but it was turned off.
"That's odd. They're not there." They had reached the meeting place. "I saw Elizabeth pull in because I parked her today," Juli-Ann said, then paused. "Did you get through to her cell phone?"
"No," was the reply. Kara was busy looking at something that lay in the grass a few inches from where they were standing.
"What are you looking at?" Juli-Ann asked.
"That shiny object in the grass over there, I wonder what it is," Kara said pointing towards the object. At the same time, the two girls walked over to the object, reached for the necklace and picked it up. Suddenly, they disappeared with the necklace still in their hands.
Hayley awoke minutes later to find Elizabeth, Michelle, Nicole and Katie laying next to her. They all sat up and looked around.
"What are y'all doing here?" Hayley asked her friends.
"I think the appropriate question is 'Where is here?'" Nicole said standing up.
Hayley looked around. The walls of wherever they were, were lined with torches.
"It looks like we're in a hallway of some sort," Katie said. She moved towards the walls.
"There's something funny about these walls. They look like they're a part of a dungeon or something," Hayley said.
"Let's find out where we are," Michelle suggested.
Elizabeth stood there for a moment thinking hard. The torches on the walls told her that they were definitely in a hallway, because the walls curved out of sight into the darkness.
"Come on, Elizabeth," Nicole said.
"There's something funny about this place. I feel like I've been here before, but I can't remember," Elizabeth said.
"Can we please get going? It's creepy here and I would like to know where in the hell we are," Katie said with a scared tone in her voice.
The five girls wandered down the hallway until they came to a door protected by a gargoyle.
"Oh my God, this can't be happening," Elizabeth said, as she stopped dead in her tracks.
"What?" Her friends asked at the same time.
"Don't you recognize the gargoyle?" Elizabeth asked pointing to it.
"No, I've never seen it bef-" Katie started to say. Just then, they heard a noise behind them. All of the girls turned around and looked at a woman standing before them.
"I see that all of you have finally arrived," the woman said. She was a mysterious character. The woman's hood was so long that it covered her face. "Please follow me into my office."
"We shouldn't go," Elizabeth whispered, but only Hayley heard her.
The girls waited a moment. The woman whispered a password and the gargoyle leapt aside.
"Follow me," she commanded. The girls did as they were told.
The woman led them into a strange, circular office decorated with moving pictures.
"I know where we are now!" Katie shouted.
"Please be quiet, Miss Thomas," the stranger said, as she took off her cloak.
"That's not my last name, it's-" Katie began. Then Nicole poked her in the stomach to stop her from speaking. She pointed to the lady and Katie looked at her.
The woman had curly brown hair and stood facing the girls. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"I told you I knew where we were," Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, but you didn't tell us where we are. Wait…did you just call Katie 'Miss Thomas'?" Nicole asked.
"Yes. Where are the other girls that I summoned?"
"What other girls?" Michelle asked.
"There should be two more girls," the woman said.
"There wasn't anyone else with us," said Nicole.
"Hush child, I hear some voices outside the door," the stranger said.
"How can she hear voices when they're down the hall?" Katie spoke in a soft whisper to Michelle.
"Wait here." The woman left the girls standing in the room.
Momentarily, Kara and Juli-Ann appeared in the room with the woman behind them.
"There you are! We've been looking for you," Kara said, scolding her friends.
"Where have you been?" Juli-Ann asked.
"What she means is, what are we doing here and where is here?" Kara asked Nicole.
"I don't know. The woman was about to explain it to us when she realized that you were missing," Nicole said.
"Excuse me, but if you are quite finished with your discussion, I will explain why I have summoned you to Hogwarts," the woman said.
"HOGWARTS?" six of the seven shouted.
"I thought that was where we were," Elizabeth said in an I-told-you-so tone.
"Please be quiet, Miss Longbottom."
"Can you please explain to us why we are here and why we have different last names?" Katie said impatiently.
"One of you recognized me as soon as I took the cloak off. That was Miss Longbottom." The woman paused for a brief moment. "I am Hermione Granger, Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," she said proudly.
"No way!" Nicole exclaimed, shocked. She didn't mean to say that out loud. She felt her cheeks go red.
"Miss Malfoy, let me explain everything."
Nicole shut her mouth and waited.
"I have chosen the seven of you to come to Hogwarts for a reason. The Dark Lord was defeated by my friends a long time ago," she began, but was interrupted by Juli-Ann.
"We know that. We read it in the seventh book," Juli-Ann said.
"Miss Wood, please do not interrupt," the headmistress commanded.
Michelle looked at her sister with a don't-interrupt-again look on her face.
"You are the chosen ones that the fortune teller told me about. You are the only ones that can save our world from the Dark Lord's nephew." Professor Granger paused, taking a sip from a goblet on her desk.
"The Dark Lord's nephew, I didn't know he had a nephew," Nicole stated.
"In this world, you are the descendents of my friends. Our world is in grave danger. We need your powers and your help. That is why I have taken you from reality and brought you to Hogwarts." The headmistress paused again.
"What powers? Why are we here? I'm so confused," Kara said, the others nodding in agreement.
"I cannot explain to you now why our world is in grave danger. That will come in due time. Your mission is to help protect the school from the Dark Lord's nephew. You will stay in the houses that I have selected for you. Miss Malfoy and Miss Parkington will go into Slytherin." She pointed to Nicole and Michelle.
"I'm related to Pansy Parkington, but what about my twin?" Michelle asked.
"You're her granddaughter. She's going to go into another house and that house is Gryffindor. She's going there along with Miss Weasley," The headmistress said, pointing to Kara.
"I guess that makes me Miss Weasley," Kara said.
"Miss Longbottom and Miss Thomas will go into Gryffindor as well," Ms. Granger said.
"What about me Professor Granger?" Hayley asked.
"You are Miss Potter from now on. Not to mention, my granddaughter," Professor Granger stated.
Hayley stood in shock as she soaked the new information in.
"I can't be your granddaughter. I can't be related to Harry Potter," Hayley stated still in shock.
"Of course you can. Your mother was my daughter who makes you my granddaughter," Professor Granger said.
"How come your last name has not changed?" Katie asked.
"We didn't want that many people know that we are married. It was going to be a secret, but the dark lord found it out from us. That is another story for another time," Professor Granger informed the girls.
"I still don't understand what powers we have and exactly why we have been brought here," Kara told their new Professor.
"You will begin to see what your powers are with in the next few months. As for now, I think that you should join the others in your common rooms. You would have not appeared on the train that arrived today. If anyone asks how you got here, just tell them you arrived late. I would also like to let you know that not all of you are in the same year. Miss Weasley, Miss Malfoy, Miss Potter, and Miss Longbottom are all fourth years. As for Miss Parkington, Miss Thomas, and Miss Wood are all third years," Professor Granger stated.
"But, but I'm a senior!" Kara, Hayley and Elizabeth protested.
"And I'm in College if you don't mind!" Nicole added, with an air of superiority.
"Forget your life back in the real world. You belong in our world now. The real world will go on not knowing you disappeared. For now we need your help," Professor Granger paused for a moment, and then took another drink out of her goblet.
"Here are some robes, books, and wands that will fit you as soon as you first use them," Professor Granger said then waved her wand. With in moments, piles of robes, books and seven wands appeared.
"Please change into your robes and gather your books and wands. I will come in with a few minutes to give you your common room passwords," Professor Granger said as she left the office.
"What in the hell is going on?" Kara asked her friends.
"You still don't understand?" Katie asked.
"You know I get confused very easily. I still can't believe that I'm related to Ronald Weasley," Kara said defending herself.
"Ha, I still don't know how I could be related to that woman. I don't even look like her," Hayley said grabbing a wand and testing it.
"Well, I can see how you would look like Harry Potter," Michelle joked.
"I just have dark hair and green eyes. Oh, I see your point," Hayley said.
The girls gathered their things and their Muggle clothes and then informed Professor Granger that they were ready.
"I want all of you to be careful. We will have a meeting once a week to know how things are doing. One more thing, Miss Potter, your grandfather is going to stop by to visit us. He will be interested in meeting his granddaughter," Professor Granger informed Hayley.
"Wait, I get to meet Harry Potter? You mean The Harry Potter?" Hayley said in disbelief.
"Yes he's your grandfather too, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me your grandmother around other students. You can call me grandmother around your friends, but no one else," Professor Granger instructed her new granddaughter.
"Yes Professor Granger," Hayley said.
"Here are your class schedules and the passwords to your common rooms. Please be careful girls and warn me if you see anything that is out of place. Your trunks and clothes will be in your common rooms when you arrive. Also your owls and some of our money," Professor Granger informed them and with another wave of her wand, their things disappeared from their hands. Professor Granger pointed to the door which told the girls they needed to leave.
"I can't believe this is happening," Kara told the six other girls.
"Are you going to be mean to us Nicole and Michelle?" Katie asked worried.
"Of course not, why on earth would you think that?" Nicole asked.
"Just because you are in Slytherin," Katie said.
"Well I guess we better find our common rooms and get going," Kara suggested. The two Slytherins headed a different way. The Gryffindors looked one last time at the gargoyle and went the other direction.
(Author's Note: I hope you liked the story so far. I will update. I am going to explain more but not right now. I think I explained a lot in this chapter. The others won't be that long. There are certain people I'd like to thank. Mainly to my characters, I want to thank them for allowing me to put them in my story. I also want to thank my two Beta-readers. They are FatelessWanderer and Redsbury. I'd like to thank FatelessWanderer for letting me use her idea. Please let me know what you think by reviewing.)
