Chapter 4

Crossing Worlds

Leisha lay on her bed; she glared at her laptop lying in front of her. She continued to type, then paused. She reached over and grabbed a pile of papers beside her. She flicked through them, then continued to type.

"Leisha! We're going shopping, come on!" called a voice through her bedroom door.

"Coming mum," she replied shutting down her laptop, she placed it on her desk, grabbed her bag and walked out.
Picking up her little brother, she follow her sibling and mum out the door. She sighed as she climbed into the car. She had been writing Harry Potter Fan Fiction, she loved to read and write the stuff.

They drove out onto the road, Leisha stared out the window, wondering if Hogwarts and the Wizarding world really did exist. They reached the shops, Leisha continued to day dream, imagine her character Jade Robinson really going to Hogwarts.

As her mum finished the shopping and Leisha helped pack her little brothers and sisters in to the car, she felt the air shift. She looked around, there was nothing there. It had felt like someone had just sucked some of the air away. She shrugged, must have been the wind or something. She didn't let it bother her that there was no wind that day.

As they pulled into her street, and drove down it, something grabbed her. She was blinded by a blue light and she was tugged, tugged and then… gone. She fell through the blue flames that surrounded her. She was slowing down and landing.

She hid the ground with a thud. She looked around…where was she?

Laura sat in front of her computer and glared at it,

"Why did she have to go shopping…should have stayed at home and talked to ME," she muttered.

The person she was muttering at, even if they could not hear it, was none other that Leisha Loyzaga.

Laura sighed and went offline. She lay down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She grabbed her disk man and stuck the headphones in her ears. She pressed play.

Humming along to the song, she sat up suddenly, she swore that the air had just rippled or something. She looked out her window. Then lay back down on her bed, she wasn't one for superstition.

Then the same blue flames, that had grabbed Leisha, grabbed her and pulled her in. She was blinded as Leisha had been and she too began to fall through them. She thrashed and jumped trying to escape.

"Aaaarrrgh!" she yelled, "Help!"

She struggled around in the blue flames until she too landed with a thump, less grateful that Leisha's but still with a thump.

She sat up and glared around.

"What the…" she began then stopped,

"Leisha?"

Leisha and Laura stared at each other. They both began to speak.
"What are you doing here?"

"What is this place?"

"Did those blue flame things get you too?"

"Why are we here?"

Suddenly it dawned on Leisha, she looked at Laura,

"Your hair it just like Charlie's" she named one of her fiction characters, based on Laura.

Laura's eyes were wide with surprise.

"Your hair is too, it's straight," Laura stuttered.

Suddenly Leisha marched over to the entrance to the alley they had landed. She peered out, then came back.

Her eyes were wide, Laura watched her with concern. Leisha sat down heavily on the ground.

"Not…possible…not…amazing…no….MAGIC!" she muttered then sat up straighter.

"What?" said Laura, "What are you talking about? What did you see?"

Leisha looked her straight in the eye.

"I think I know where we are…" said Leisha slowly.

"Where?" said Laura. Leisha stood and beckoned. She walked to the alley opening and looked at Laura, and then they both peered out.

Laura and Leisha's eyes were both wide open.

"You see?" said Leisha, "We're in…" They both said, in astounded voices.

"DIAGON ALLEY"
