Unexpected

Disclaimer: I don't own anyone from the Harry Potter Series but I do own the ones that aren't in the series. Now to make sure that I don't get sued, this story is co-written. With me writing the odd number of chapters and her writing the even number of chapters; like chapter 1, 2, and so on. . . .

"Smoo Powder," asked Ron, "don't you mean" He stopped before he could finish the question because the fireplace has some how produced a purple, crimson fire. Ron has never been so amazed in his entire life. "Amazing, you don't see that everyday. Well, maybe if you count green." Just as he finished that statement, a girl walked out of the fire.

She has black hair with bluish highlights. Her eyes were the color of silver. And she had pale skin. (A/N – Not the sickish pale but a healthy pale.) Other than that, she looked Asian.

"Eden," Zoë half yelled, "I'm going to k OH MY GOSH! You brought them!" Harry didn't notice at first but when He looked toward Eden's feet, he noticed two animals. A foot tall diamond dragon and what looks to be a baby white tiger. Anyway, Zoë jumped at the animal and seems to be crushing it to death with a hug. "STARFIRE!" she screamed.

The rest of the group was too stunned at the arrival of the second girl to say anything.

"I'm so confused. Why isn't any of this making any sense to me?" Sirius whispered.

"Sirius, nothing ever makes any sense to you." Lupin replied.

"Yeah, why don't you go back to sleep? It'll probably make more sense in the morning, after several good cups of fire whiskey." Tonks whispered.

"You know what, that's a good idea. You guys want any?" Sirius asked. They all agreed that it would be a good idea to consume some alcohol before even trying to understand whatever is going on at the moment. And with that they departed from the living room into the kitchen.

"So, I'm guessing that the Smoo Powder worked? Eden asked.

"Nah, we just happen to be at a Harry Potter cos-play convention. YES, of course it worked. Jeez, you're such a dumb butt." Zoë replied sarcastically.

"Bloody hell." Ron commented. Unfortunately, it revived everyone.

"Ron, watch your language. Don't make me wash out your mouth." Mrs. Weasley said threateningly.

"What exactly is going on here?" Harry asked, his question directed at Eden. She didn't, however, reply right away because she was busy dusting herself off. As is Zoë and the little animals. When she was done, she began her explanation.

"I'm Eden, the girl there is Zoë which I'm sure you know. The dragon is Starfire and the tiger is Faye," Eden began, "I'm sure you have a lot of questions but please, let me finish first. We come from a different dimension. The Smoo Powder allows us to travel between dimensions. You have nothing to worry about because I'm the only person that can make it."

"Are you serious, (A/N – No pun intended) you must be making this up. There is no way that this can be true," Hermione said, "It goes against the laws nature and time. It cannot be done." At this comment, Zoë began to listen to the conversation and she also noticed that Ron was staring at Eden strangely. Almost as if, dare it be said, in love? Or was it directed at Hermione.

"Why are you here?" Harry asked.

"To help." Eden and Zoë replied at the same time.

"To help with what?" Ginny asked.

"To help with the defeat of Lord Voldy of course." Zoë answered. Everyone was silent at that comment. They couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"Um, you must be tired. Why don't we all go to bed?" Mr. Weasley suggested.

"What a wonderful idea, we are so tired with the traveling and what-not," Eden said while yawning, "what time is it any way?"

"I don't know but Ginny, Hermione I want you two to show them their rooms," Mrs. Weasley said going back into mother-hen mode, and the rest of you, It's off to bed." While that was said, Zoë picked up two backpacks by the fireplace and handed one to Eden.
