Guten Tag everyone! Ich bin ein dooglesac, or in english, hello everyone i am a bagpipe! Welcome to chapter 4, where romance and dare devil adventures are sure to follow! Hmmmm. Anywhoo, my poor fellow Beacon, Beth, is ill at the moment bless her! So we hope she gets better right! She better bludi had do, because i have no-one to argue with in school! By the way, in this chapter, i am presuming that by the time in which this story is set, we would have met The Guernseyers, where as at the present time we have not met them face to face. Just for reference, you know how it is! Enjoy my friends!

A girl wearing jeans, pirate boots, a pirate jacket and a green top was gazing out to sea. Her face was dry and salty from the sea spray which blew into her face.

"So we're going to Wales, Tash?"

A tall thin girl with her long, blonde hair braided and tied back in a pony tail turned around. She was wearing her favourite purple t-shirt, her jeans and her knee high black flat boots.

"Correct, to see Emma and co."

Tash and Jenny were both travelling to Wales via Condor Ferries, the wind ryshing through their hair as they fell to the rhythm of the bobbing boat, while it left a foaming white trail behind them. They both came from "The Rock" (Guernsey). Five years ago, when they had both been turning eighteen, they had met Emma and Beth over a story writing site, who in time had introduced them to Kate. Jenny grinned as she remembered when Kate and her both realised they shared the same birthday. On January 16th, the gang had had an online party, with virtual cake and presents. They'd also sung "Happy Birthday" in numerous languages (A.N it was so cool!)

Tash remembered when Kate, her and Steph had their first ever video conversation. They had laughed non-stop for the first two minutes. However, Steph, the third Guernseyer was not with Tash and Jenny on the ferry. At that moment in time, she was in her residence with her army, as 5 years had seen Steph rise to be an Evil Ruler of the world. (But a good one (: )

"Hey Tash, look!"

"She wants to go home,

But nobodys home,

It's where she lies,

Broken inside."

"Helooooo? Tash!"

"With no place to go,

No place to go,

To dry her eyes,

Broken inside……..Hey, I'm Tash aren't I?"

Jenny sighed. "Yes! But what is that?"

In the distance, two Red dots were coming closer and closer. They appeared to be hovering 3 feet above the sea.

"It can't be…"

"I think it may well be…"

The Two Beacons landed clumsily in the boat with Meg, who was barking loudly once more. Their faces were both green. Kate was about to speak, but was forced to stop when she ran to the edge and vomited over the side.

"Kate! Beth!" Tash said, taking them both into a huge hug.

"Oh my god!" Jenny squealed excitedly, hugging them as well. She was prone to random outbursts like this.

"Hullo," Kate said.

"Hello," Beth said, who looked like she would soon be making a trip to the edge as well.

"You never told us you could hover!"

Beth shook her head. "We use it as a last resort-we get air sick very easily."

"Which is why we are green," Kate said, "and as Beth should realise is NOT a good colour to turn at all, even though she always says it is."

"Shut up!" Beth yelled.

Tash and Jenny looked at each other.

"Not another argument."

"She started it!" Kate and Beth said at the same time.

Jenny groaned. Tash took the hint.

"I can't believe you're here! You told us 5 years ago that you were retiring from being the Two Beacons of Red Light."

"I know," Kate said sadly, "but we have been forced back into work."

"Why?" Jenny asked.

"Emma."

They both gasped.

"Oh god! What's happened?"

"Voldemort." Beth said simply.

"No!"

"Yes!"

Tash's mouth was wide open.

"But why her?" Jenny said in bewilderment, "why would Voldemort do anything to Emma?"

"Because of us," Kate said sniffing.

"What!"

"Get yourselves comfortable," Beth said. And she began to explain.

"5 years ago, we became the Beacons of Red Light, important heroes with our own specially developed powers and weapons. When Voldemort returned to power, he decided to wipe out all threats to him. One of those was us. So he came to North Wales, to the Argoed High School in January 2006, just after THAT person and Jenny had their birthday."

Kate glared at her.

"We were all in lessons when the Death Eaters came," Beth continued. "They cast a powerful spell on the building, one similar to an earth quake. We didn't realise until the walls began to shake and pieces of plaster fell to the floor that it was going to collapse with us inside. As me, Emma and Kate were in separate places, we grabbed who we could and ran outside. We managed to get out and hide before the Death Eaters found us. But some people didn't. Including our friends."

Beth stopped as her eyes filled with water. The memory brought back pain even now.

"And so we escaped," Kate continued for her, "however, we thought it was better not to continue. Think of all those innocent muggles who died because of us. We withdrew, hoping that Voldemort would leave us. After five years, we both thought he'd left us for good. And then Beth rang me."

Beth nodded. "I went to wake Emma up, but she was gone. All that was left was a note.

Emma will always smell awful, even if she does wear red.

I didn't need to guess who'd taken her".

"So," Tash concluded, "he's taken Emma to get revenge on you two?"

"Pretty much," Kate said.

"And of course, he knows that you two will try and rescues her," Jenny added, "and therefore will kill you."

"And there is the other problem that he's cursed her with a smelling curse," Beth said, "and mine and Kate's powers aren't enough to remove it."

"So," Tash concluded yet again, "you two are pretty buggered."

"In a word-yes." Kate said wearily.

They were all silent for a while, as the ferry bobbed and the sounds of the sea flew through their ears.

"Why were you heading over to Wales anywho?" Kate asked.

"We came to see Emma," Jenny replied, "we've been sending her loads of emails, and she hadn't been replying to any."

"AND, she hadn't updated on Fanfiction." Tash said.

"Well, as a matter of fact, we were coming to see you!" Beth said.

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

They all giggled.

"Well," Jenny said, "I think we should go to the Order."

"Of course!" Kate cried, jumping up. "There's lot's of wizards who could help us!"

"I don't mind as long as we don't have to hover." Beth said.

"Hang on HANG on," Tash said putting her hands out. "The Harry Potter series finished ages ago, as we're now 5 years ahead of that time, why would the Order, or even Harry Potter or Voldemort still be around?"

"I dunno," Beth said, "ask the author."

Tash looked up.

"Author, why is this story so weird?"

Ahem.

"Because, in this story, the Harry Potter stories are still at the same stage as they are now, so the events of the 6th book have all happened. Therefore, Harry still has to have the final battle with Voldemort Don't ask me why, because you have to wait until the storys progressed a bit more."

"Ohhhhhh…….." they all chorused, even though they still didn't quite understand.

"So it's settled!" Tash said, grinning. "We're off to the Order of the Phoenix!"
