"I do not, I repeat, NOT, want you taking part in any of this, Cornelia."

"Well it's a bit too late for that. We've been doing it for three years and I don't have any intention of stopping." Cornelia argued firmly to her mum.

What would Irma say if she heard me saying that? She thought to herself.

I'm a changed Guardian! She mentally added proudly.

"You are so stubborn! Fine, go to this school!" Mrs Hale stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind her.

Cornelia slumped back on the sofa, and put her hand on her forehead.

Running her fingers back through her blonde hair, Cornelia saw a head around the frame of the living room door.

"Come here, Lillian." She said, patting the sofa next to her.

Timidly, Lillian Hale came out from around the door and sat next to her sister.

"What did Mum mean about you going to a different school?"

"Well… I uh…" The usually over-confident earth guardian was at a loss for words.

"I might be going to boarding school."

"What? Why?"

Cornelia smiled. "Me and my friends don't fit in here any more. I'm not sure we ever did. But I'll come back every summer."

"You promise?" Lillian searched her sister's eyes, and what she saw surprised her. Behind those blue eyes, was a glowing green swirl, just twirling around.

Cornelia was surprised at her younger sis. Normally so arrogant and annoying, she was now sensitive and caring. She ruffled Lillian's hair affectionately.

"I promise."

"Taranee, can we talk while Peter's out?" Mr Cook called.

Taranee walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.

"I suppose that this is about yesterday?" She asked

"Yes, and before you start producing a court worthy argument, you need to see it from our point of view.

"Your have just found out that your daughter is some magical pixie that has been fighting evil forces of doom and saving other worlds." Taranee said

"Exactly. It's taken quite a while to get over that fact and we've decided that as long as you're careful you can go to this school and stay with your friends." Mrs Cook said, smiling at her younger self.

Taranee let out a little relieved sigh. "Thanks. I'm going to go to Will, let her know."

"Okay honey. Don't be too long, lunch will be ready at twelve."

"Okay!" Taranee walked out of the front door and started down the street.

"Miss Cook, may I talk to you?"

Taranee jumped out her skin when an old man with an extremely long beard stepped out from an alleyway.

"Who are you? I'm warning you, if you are at all associated with Phobos…."

"Relax, Miss Cook. I am Albus Dumbledore."

Will opened the front door and looked at the people who rang it.

"Hey Will!"

"Miss Vandom."

"Hey, Taranee, and, uh…" Will stepped aside and let the people come in.

"Albus Dumbledore."

"Oh, hello sir." Will followed her new head master into the living room and sat down next to Irma. Cornelia was on the floor next to a dead pot-plant, making it bloom again, and Hay Lin was sprawled out across the sofa.

"Hey guys. What are you all doing here?" Taranee asked as she shifted Hay Lin's legs so she and Dumbledore could sit down.

"Some cruel force kicked us out of our sweet, sweet beds and forced us to come to Wills house." Irma moaned, cuddling up to Will and using her like a pillow.

"Riiiiiiiiight." Taranee said. "Anyway, guys, this is … is it sir or professor?" Taranee asked.

"Professor would be more appropriate." Dumbledore said, his eyes twinkling.

"This is Professor Dumbledore."

Everybody exchanged their hellos except for Irma who groaned when Will moved forward to shake the Professor's hand.

"Sorry about Irma." Will smiled shyly. "She's not much of a morning person."

"Quite understandable," Dumbledore looked a little amused, "Now, I gather that you all understand about Hogwarts?"

Every one shook their heads no.

"Well it is a magical school, as you may have gathered, and it educates young witches and wizards. If you all come, which I hope you will," he added, smiling, "you will be put into different houses, though may share some lessons. You will be placed in the fifth year and will be attending with students your own age."

"Sounds good to me!" Hay Lin cheered happily.

"Well, girls, I will come again soon, to see that you get to England safely. You will have to travel by aircraft and I will have you put with a wizard family until it is time to travel to Kings Cross. Good bye, ladies."

Giving them a cheery wave, Dumbledore vanished from the room with a loud crack.

Every one stared at the spot where their new headmaster was.

"Um… okay…" Cornelia said, still poking at the plant. "Just so you know, Will, your mum is a rubbish gardener. Also, my mum doesn't really want me to carry on with magic, but is letting me go to Hogwarts."

"Its sort of the same with me." Hay Lin said, sitting upside down on the sofa with her head dangling off the edge. "Expect I think Grandma persuaded them that I actually know what I'm doing."

"My parents are ok with it." Taranee said with a shrug. "As long as I don't throw myself off a cliff or anything like that."

"My parents are loonies." Irma mumbled, her eyes still closed. "They want to be just like me when they grow up."

"….."
