AN: Blah, blah blah! I guess the last chapter was longer wasn't it?

Wow, the Magic!

!A Safe Place!

"This is # 12 Grimmauld Place, it is the Head Quarters for the Order of the Phoenix. You will be safe here." Harry was telling the two, he knew Nicole already knew all this but Shona didn't.

"Right, seems cleaner then I had expected from the outside." Shona was saying, as she looked around at all the shrunken Elf heads. "Creepy looking heads aren't they?" Shona was poking one of the noses of the heads.

Niki half grinned at Harry who grinned back. "Those are House Elf heads, they got to old to carry tea trays so they were killed, beheaded, their heads shrunk, and then mounted." Niki told Shona, the look she got from Shona was almost funny.

"Were these like servants or something?" Shona asked looking at Niki and Harry with a raised eyebrow. They nodded. "Ah, right, creepy but kind of cute." She said lowly.

Harry half laughed then leaned over to Niki and whispered to her. "So, is it what you expected? Clean huh?"

Niki laughed. "Yeah, a lot nicer since you got rid of that old crone Kretcher, has he died yet?" Niki asked with an evil grin.

"Nope, still half-kicking." Harry groaned. "Why do you want him dead?"

"The same reason you do, I blame him for Sirius' death. I'd have broke his neck the moment I got him by himself." Niki mumbled clenching her fists.

Harry nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I would have, but-" He was about to say Dumbeldore but felt a lump build up in his throat.

"Yeah Dumbeldore kept you from it. He was right to, you would have only lowered yourself to the level of those you hate." Niki said touching his hand gently.

Harry took her hand with a half grimace half smile. "Yeah, I know. It's still hard to not want to."

Niki looked down at her hand and smiled back up to Harry. "Yeah, and it is going to be." She bumped him playfully. "Now show me and Shona around already, I want to see that freaky picture of Mrs. Black." She grinned happily.

Harry smiled and nodded. "Yeah, hey Shona, come on I need to show you around." He called over to Shona then whispered to Niki. "How old are you two anyway?" He could feel the heat rise in his face.

Niki laughed as Shona came over bouncing on the balls of her feet. "I'm 20 and she is 19. Oh, and Shona is single, but of course you are still into Ginny right?" Niki teased.

Harry blushed. "Well, me and Ginny are just friends now." He looked around nervously. "Come on, I'll show you the rooms and stuff. Just be quite in the halls."

Nicole nodded. "Yeah Shona watch your step around here, don't make to much noise you wont like what you see if you do." Niki laughed.

Shony nodded with a laugh. "Right-o! Oh, so you are single Harry, so am I! Can I wear your glasses?" She asked giggling and grabbed Harry's glasses and put them on. "Wow, you are blind!" She laughed again and took a pen from her pocket and drew a messed up lightning bolt on her forehead. "Look I'm Harry Potter! Ohhhhhh FEAR ME!" She picked up an old umbrella from the Troll foot stand and waves it around like a wand. "Poof! Poof! Turn into a toad!" She laughed again.

"Oh god, who gave her candy?' Niki moaned as she tried to get the wand out of her hand, also grabbing for Harry's glasses. "Come on Shona give them back to Harry, he needs them to see."

Harry laughed and shook his head. "You said she was 19, you sure you didn't mean 9?" These girls were weird, but no weirder then him, he guessed at least.

"I AM 19! But those twins and that Dragon guy gave me chocolate froggy things, they are good. They came with funny cards, I got you Harry!" She exclaimed and pulled the cards from her pocket and showed Harry his card. "See, don't you look cute?" She giggled as Niki finally got the umbrella out of her hand and pulled the glasses off.

Harry blushed a bit as he took his glasses. "Yeah, thanks. Come on lets go." He said turning around quickly and walking on.

"Fred, George, and Charlie gave you chocolate huh? Remind me to have a talk with them later. Now come on Shona we need to look around." Niki sighed as Shona stopped giggling and fallowed looking at her Chocolate Frog Cards as she walked.

"Okay then, so Niki, figured out how to get us back yet?" She asked as she fallowed Harry and Niki down into the kitchen.

"I'm working on it, besides, it seems you are having a lot of fun here. You sure you want to leave?" Niki asked casting a sideways glance at her friend.

"Well, yeah I'm having fun but I still need to get home. School you know." Shona said looking back at Niki then realizing they were in a very large kitchen. "Wow, you could cook for one hundred people in here." She gasped as she looked at the long table.

"Yeah probably, but I don't think we will be." Harry said as he sat down. "Okay, this is the kitchen, the bedrooms and stuff are upstairs, just be quite down the hallway. The pictures like to yell."

"Wow, I wana see that." Shona mumbled.

"No you don't, you get these pictures to yell and it is hard to shut them up, and we don't need the headache right now." Niki said taking a seat by Harry. "Come on Shona, park your butt already."

Shona sat down with a nod and kept looking at her cards. "Right, I'll do my best. So what's for lunch?"

"Food of course." Molly's voice came from the kitchen door. She, Arthur, Charlie, Fred, George, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione were all carrying different kinds of containers. There was also a very wispy looking man standing behind them holding a large carpetbag. "Fred, George set the table. Ginny and Hermione, dears find drinks. I'll heat this up." Everyone set to his or her tasks with little nods.

"Anything we can help with?" Shona asked half standing up.

"No, dear you three sit down and relax." She motioned for the old man to step forward. "This is Mr. Olivander, he makes wands. I'd noticed you two seem to have lost yours." Molly said with a smile.

Nicole simply nodded. "Yeah, we lost them when we were running, besides they were American made and were not that good." Niki half smiled with Shona nodding behind her.

Mr. Olivander grinned, he looked very rough for ware but he still smiled. "Well then young ladies, I may have some wands that can help you. Show me your wand arms."

Niki held out her right arm and Shona did the same. Olivander nodded and began to measure them. "Alright Miss. Jones you can go first. Pick one up at a time and give it a little wave."

Shona nodded and picked one up and wove it around. One of the butterbeer bottles busted. She quickly put it down and nervously picked up another.

Some hours later and four butterbeer bottles, six plates, two vases, and one burnt shirt, Shony had her own wand. It was Ebony, 9 ½ inches, Unicorn tail hair, very wispy, and good for charms. According to Olivander anyway.

Shony was smiling showing George her wand, and him showing her some good spells to use. Some how it got out the truth about her and Niki, Shony wasn't sure how but according to Niki it was something called an Extendable Ear that was the cause. "Okay, so it's one, two, three Vera Verto?" Shony was tapping a mouse that George had summoned from thin air for her. "WOW!" Shony gasped as the mouse turned into a shiny silver water goblet. She picked it up with a smile as she showed Niki, who was busy trying to find her own wand. "Nyk-Nyk check this out! It was a mouse now it is a shiny cup!" She giggled as George turned it back into a little white mouse. Shony took the mouse and began to pet it like a kitty.

"Good job Shony, hey Fred show her how to make people's hair color change, she always talks about having silver hair." Niki said as she picked up another wand and sent Molly's knitting needles flying across the room and sticking in the wall by Harry's head. "Oh shit! Sorry Molly, and Harry." Niki said with a sheepish grin as she sat the wand down.

"Oh, cool one Nyk. You missed Harry's ear by like inches!" Shony giggled teasing her friend. "Acio Needles." She said lazily and the needles came to her and she handed them to Molly, patting Harry on the head with a grin. "Hey Harry, if Nyk keeps this up you might get your ear pierced." She laughed, then seeing the looks she was getting from Harry and Nyk she quickly took on a serious expression. "Kidding, really I am."

Niki stuck out her tongue at Shona as she picked up yet another wand, a strange sensation passed thru her body and the hairs on her arms stood up. "Mr. Olivander, I think this is the one for me." She said as she waved it limply and summoned Fred's butterbeer from out of his hands. She grabbed the butterbeer in the air with a smile at Fred. "Thanks Fred, I was thirsty." She winked at Fred then turned back to Olivander.

"Hm, very good choice for you Miss. Murchison. Cedar, 10 inches, Dragon heart string, sturdy, and good for defensive spells and transfigurations." Olivander said as he checked it over and handed it back to Niki.

"Sweet, I've always wanted to be a Animagus." She smiled and showed Shony her wand, then turned back to Olivander. "How much do we owe you?"

"Nothing, on the house, just promise me you will use them to stop He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." Olivander said as he headed for the door.

"You have our word sir." Shony said with a nod before she turned back to George and Charlie who were now teaching her hovering charms, it seemed she had come up with some spells of her own. "Now, see all I did was wave my wand like this and say Usagi, and then bam- a rabbit showed up!" Shony was saying as she patted a pretty black rabbit.

"Wow, how did you do that, I don't remember that spell any where I've been." Charlie was saying. "Nice one though."

"Well, Usagi means Bunny in Japanese, so I guess that's how I got one." She smiled as she learnt how to make it disappear.

Niki smiled at Harry as she showed off her wand. "This is great; I just hope it works on the other side. Well, even if it doesn't I hope I can at least bring it back over." She sighed as she sat down in an armchair. "I'm really sorry about the needle thing Harry."

Harry shook his head with a smile. "No big deal, it missed didn't it?" Harry sat next to Ron and Hermione who were playing Wizard's Chess. "Hey Shona, you wana play the next game?" He hollered over to Shona who was busy explaining all sorts of things to Arthur, from her fountain pen to her mechanical pencil.

"Yeah, sure!" She said with a nod to Arthur as she went over and sat across from Ron. "Wow, they talk!" She laughed as the King, Knights, and pawns all bowed to her and said hello.

"Yep, cool isn't it. Just wait till you start taking pieces, they fight one another." Niki said with a grin as she sipped some warm tea.

!The Following Day- Harry's World!

"HALF BLOOD SCUM! FILTH, BLOOD TRAITORS!" Mrs. Black yelled at the top of her lungs, Tonks and Lupin had shown up and Tonks accidentally knocked over the troll leg again. "DIRTY BLOOD! FILTH!"

Nicole ran over and began to help pull the curtain closed with Lupin, Harry, and Fred. "Shut up you old bag!" Nicole yelled as they all pulled.

"YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME! FREAK OF NATURE!" Mrs. Black bellowed at Nicole.

"Oh, that does it!" Niki yelled and pointed her wand at the curtains with a frown, all the men stepped back. "SILENCE YOU OLD BAG!" She yelled again, a bright red light shot from her wand; Mrs. Black's portrait grabbed her throat and fell silent. "Much better. That was not necessary!" Nicole mock gasped as Mrs. Black made a rude gesture just as Nicole and Fred pulled the curtains closed around her.

"Nice one Nyk." Fred panted. "I don't know what you did, but you shut her up. We can't seem to." Fred smiled weakly.

"Yes, how did you manage that?" Lupin asked as they walked back into the sitting room up stairs with the others.

"Not sure, I just wanted her to shut up so badly." Niki sighed as she entered the sitting room and plopped down in a chair next to Shony, who was talking-again- to Charlie about dragons and all sorts of magical things.

"I still don't get how you call those little goblin-imp things elves. I mean come on, they are little midgets." Shony was asking as she drew a picture, she wouldn't let anyone see.

Hermione huffed and cast a cross look at Shona. "Don't call them that."

"Chill out Hermione, she didn't really mean it in a derogatory way. Right Shona?" Niki said rolling her eyes at Hermione's back. "Hermione is really big into house elves and their rights. So be careful what you say around her." Niki thought, somehow knowing Shony would receive the message.

Shona nodded. "Yeah, didn't mean anything by it, really." "Even if those things are almost as ugly as sin." She thought to herself. "See, where we are from this is an elf." Shony said showing an old picture she had drawn.

Charlie looked at it closely. "Nice picture, but elves here don't look like that. They look like those heads and they are three feet tall and they look nothing like Goblins." Charlie said as he summoned a picture of a Goblin, an Imp, and a Pixie out of thin air. "This I what they look like here."

"Man those goblins look creepy, the imps are kind of ugly, but the pixies are cute." Shony said looking closely at the pictures.

"Cute? How do you get cute out of that?" Ron asked with a disgusted look on his face.

"Shon' is special, she finds some of the ugliest things cute. She is just a freak that way." Niki laughed teasing her friend. Niki looked down at the sweater she was learning to make, well use magic to make. It actually looked like a real sweater. "Hey Fred, what do you think? Does this look like a real sweater, or is it just me?" She floated the needles and sweater up to eye level.

"Yeah, looks good, what is that on the front though?" Fred asked tilting his head to one side.

"Oh that, just something between me and Shony." Niki smiled as she let the sweater and needles float back down. She looked sideways at Shony with a grin. She had knitted chibi heads of Shony and her giving peace signs.

"Looks cute I think, like little heads or something." Ginny said looking closely at it.

"They are, it is called Chibis it means minis. They are sort of like a cartoon like likeness of me and Shona." Niki said with a smile.

"I can kind of see it, I mean if I hold my head like this, stand on one foot, and close one eye." Fred teased.

"Ha ha Fred. You be quite or I'll make you a sweater too." Niki pouted as she tossed an unused roll of yarn at Fred's head.

AN: How did you like this chapter? I know it isn't the best in the world, but hey I'm workin' on it!
