Summary: An Earth girl appears at Alfea through a whirling purple tornado. What will happen when it turns out this girl is a Hogwarts student? More importantly: How did she get to Alfea? (HPWC crossover)
Pairings: Stella/Brandon, Bloom/Sky, Techna/Timmy, Musa/Riven, Flora/Helia, Piper/Lyndon, Piper/Snape (hey, it's my reality :p)
Note: Lyndon, a freshman at Red Fountain, shows himself in this chapter. He's a character I created specifically for this story.
Reviews:
Gyre - Yeah, Gryffin and Co. are gonna show themselves in either this or the next chapter. Can you imagine Gryffin's reaction when Piper tells her there's a Hogwarts House named 'Gryffin'dor?
SuperMegaGirl - No, there will be no one from Gryffindor in this story, or at least in the main part. Piper was the only character to get sucked into the portal, no one else from Hogwarts will make an appearence until Piper gets back to her dimension. There might be casual references to other Houses, but the main character is Slytherin and that's how it's gonna stay.
Also thanks to Kaitosouta and CrankyEmily who also reviewed!
Question to my Reviewers: I was planning on actually having an Inter-School Quidditch Cup in later chapters: Do you think it's a good idea? Cast your votes now!
Chapter Three: Witches, Specialists, and Fairies! Oh, my!
"Girls!" Faragonda called for attention at the assembly that was taking place to inform the students of Piper's arrival to this dimension. The main purpose was to keep the fairies from panicking when Piper was around and used magic. The last thing Faragonda wanted was a repeat of Piper's arrival to the school, as the girl had only just revived the last of the spelled students.
"Now, since I have your attention," Faragonda spoke once the whispering voices died down. Again, Piper was forcibly reminded of Dumbledore. "I know several of you were surprised yesterday when a young woman suddenly appeared in the courtyard." Faragonda called Piper to stand next to her. "This is Piper Watson, a young witch from Earth." At this, the voices began whispering again, sounding like a cloud of angry bees. Faragonda held her hands up again, calling for silence.
"Girls!" Again, the voices stopped once Faragonda began talking again, "Piper is not the same type of witch as those of Cloud Tower. Her magic is drastically different than ours. Piper attends a magical school on Earth called Hogwarts, and she was brought here by an accident that took place in her Potions class. I have asked Piper to demonstrate some of her magic here today, and implore you not to take offense if she accidently casts a spell on you. She's just feeling edgy from her sudden trip. Piper."
Piper nodded and stepped forward, pulling her wand from her pocket. Musa stepped into the stage, having agreed before the assembly to basically be Piper's test subject, once Piper had reassured the girl that she would revive her once she was done with the spells. Musa stood across the stage from Piper, watching with a nervous look as Piper levelled her wand on her.
"Rictusempra!" Piper called. The fairies gasped as one entity as a stream of magic shot from the wand, shooting across the stage and hitting Musa square in the chest. Musa stumbled back a few steps before the spell took place, causing the black-haired girl to fall down onto the ground, clutching her stomach and howling with laugher. She was squirming around as if many hands were tickling every inch of her.
"Silencio!" Again, magic shot from the wand, hitting Musa as she squirmed on the floor, trying to get away from the many invisible hands tickling her. Immediately, her laughter silenced, though she continued to wiggle, her face contorted in laughter.
"Finite Incantatem!" Piper called, lifting the charms from Musa. The fairy laid on the floor for a few moments, trying to catch her breath before she stood on wobbly legs, brushing herself off and trying to straighten herself. If Musa had known she was going to be rolling on the floor, she would have worn another outfit. Piper nodded at Musa, letting the fairy leave the stage, not needing her for the rest of the presentation.
Piper conjured a snake, charmed it with her wand into a dance, then Transfigured it into a lamp before she made it disappear. She Apparated from one side of the stage to the other, much to the excitement of her audience, then summoned her Patronus. This spell recieved gasps as the shape of a large, silvery panther roamed the stage for a few moments before circling Piper and disappearing.
"Amazing! Simply amazing!" Faragonda applauded with the other students, walking over to take centerstage, "I say that we have a small party to welcome Piper to our world and show it at it's magical best!" At this, the crowd erupted into cheering, the fairies dancing with excitement over the prospect of partying.
"Can we invite the Red Fountain boys!" came a call from the audience, more than likely Stella, who wasn't sitting far from the stage and looking at Faragonda in anticipation of her answer. Stella as well as those watching Faragonda cheered at her nod. Piper arched an eyebrow, apparently, these 'Red Fountain boys' were rather popular with the fairies. As Piper stepped down, the fairies converged on the witch, asking her to perform different spells. She was required to Transfigure herself into a panther, conjure a flock of birds, and perform a glamour spell to make Stella look like Bloom before they released her from their clutches.
"Let's get you dressed for the party!" Stella grinned as she and the other four surrounded Piper, leading her away from the other fairies, "You can't go to a party in those." The blond fairy picked at the sleeve of Piper's school robes. Piper narrowed her eyes at Stella, taking slight offense towards her comment about Piper's robes, but then she remembered that compared to the other's clothes, which, to Piper, were Muggle clothes, she did look odd in wizarding robes.
"You mean something like this?" Piper asked as she waved her wand, glad she had taken the time to really study clothing Transfiguration. Her robes shifted into a short black skirt that grazed mid-thigh and a green silk shirt that was set off the shoulders, the sleeves long and flaring before gathering again at her wrists. Knee-high black boots adorned her feet, and her jewelry consisted of a silver necklace that looked like a snake twining around her neck, the head biting the tail for the clasp, a belt matching the necklace around her waist, and a pair of dangling emerald and silver earrings.
"Oh...wow!" the others gasped, shocked at the sudden transformation, which made Piper blush slightly. She didn't like having to wear Muggle clothes, but if she had to wear them, at least she could wear them with style. And at least she had style and didn't go parading about in those ridiculus outfits she'd seen other wizards wear to the Quidditch World Cup.
"Looks like you're ready!" Stella squealed as she and the other girls lead Piper towards their room in order for them to get ready. This was going to be a party to remember.
At the party...
"Ooo! There's Brandon!" Stella squealed as the boys from Red Fountain began arriving at Alfea. The courtyard looked amazing. Piper had leant a hand in decorating, conjuring a few rosebushes, illuminated by the small version of fairies that Piper was used to, the little winged creatures zipping from bush to bush. In the center was a fountain she had Transfigured from a leaf, the fountain issuing sparks rather than water, glittering across the courtyard. Faragonda said the decorations were breathtaking and that they should have her decorate for more dances.
"And Prince Skye!" it was Bloom's turn to squeal. Piper looked at the two Specialists. To her, they didn't look so special, more like your typical prettyboys she had gotten so accustomed to at Hogwarts. Brandon was tall, brown-haired, and had a suave smile, while Skye was a typical boy-next-door, shoulder-length blond hair and a shy look.
Grabbing Piper by the arms, the fairies steered her towards the boys and introduced her to the rest: Timmy looked like a regular dweeb in his glasses and with his small, skinny frame. And Riven looked like he'd fit into the Slytherin House rather well with how he glared at the people around him as if completely bored and annoyed with their presense. Flora's Specialist, Helia, looked like a shy and poetic type, his black hair caught back into a loose ponytail for the occasion.
"And this is Piper," Stella told the boys the witch's name, "She's a magical student from an Earth school called...Hogpimples?" Piper almost snorted at Stella's confused look, but stepped forward gracefully to save the honor of her school.
"I am a seventh year Slytherin prefect from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," she explained for the tongue-tied Stella. The blond princess next to her snapped her fingers and proclaimed "that's right!". The Specialists' welcoming smiles quickly turned to frowns which reminded Piper that witches weren't a good thing in Alfea.
"A witch?" Skye spoke up, finally, "I though Merta was the only witch transfer." Piper rolled her eyes slightly, folding her arms across her chest. She'd have to see how bad these Cloud Tower witches were, because, quite frankly, she was getting tired of everybody getting angry when they mention witches.
"Yes, I am a witch," Piper said, her voice taking a proud note, "I am from a long line of witches and wizards. I have connections to such old wizarding families as the Blacks, Malfoys, and LeStranges. I am as pure a witch as they come, but, I am not these 'Cloud Tower' witches that everybody seems so afraid of. I am a Hogwarts witch, and proud of it!" The boys seemed taken back by her speech, but one, who happened to come upon them, clapped.
"It's nice to see someone who's proud of who they are," came a smooth voice. It came from a boy who looked around Piper's age. He had long, silky black hair falling down to his waist, pulled back into a loose ponytail. The boy was handsome enough, a strong face, deep, penetrating eyes of ebony. He stepped over to Piper and took her hand, kissing it in a sweeping bow.
"Wow...you're laying it on thick, Lyndon," Riven rolled his eyes as Lyndon straightened with a grin, "You're pretty smooth for a freshman." The dark-eyed boy laughed openly, running his thumb over the knuckles of the hand he had yet to let go of.
"Of course I am, Riven," Lyndon replied, slowly letting go of a reluctant Piper's hand, "It's not often I meet a young lady who can put even you in your place. Not even young Musa has accomplished rendering you completely speechless." Next to her, Piper felt Musa stiffen at this boy's casual reference to her. Riven, on the other hand, openly glared at Lyndon, who had, by now, returned his attention to Piper. "My dear Lady Piper...care to allow me the privilage of a dance?"
"Erm...sure..." Piper smiled, allowing Lyndon to take her hand and leading her away from this assembled. She had to admit, he was rather smooth, and had the cunning of a real Slytherin. Not to mention his dark eyes reminded her of Professor Snape, which had Piper wondering if she would ever see Hogwarts and her Potions' Master again...
To Be Continued.
Angel: Well, there's chapter three! As you can see, Lyndon's quite the smooth talker and has swept Piper off her feet! Also, Gryffin and Co. might make an appearence in the next chapter...as gate-crashers, of course! I don't know if I want the Trix Sisters in it, but we'll see how it plays out!
