Author's note: As always I don't own Harry potter. I'm not J.K Rowling. If I was Harry and Hermione would've been together if I was. And I would have a boatload of cash.
As quickly as they sat down on the carpet, they were sucked into a vortex.
"Wow, I can see why they outlawed this in England; it's basically amazing," said Harry in stunned awestruck amazement. The carpet was sucked into a vortex of swirling technique color strobe of light with a beautiful mix similar to a kaleidoscope, the northern lights, and the rainbow. Fast but gentle for the rider.
"Do we have everything we need are wands, lotions, passports, licenses, grenades, memory potions, detox love potion, loyalty breakers, fireworks, firecrackers, bulletproof vest, laptops, instruments, notes, Forget Me Not potion, nutrient potions, throwing knives, titanium cases, balms, food supplies books, tools; everything?" Katherine asked, listing out everything as she pulled out to show them to her. Harry himself getting confused and nervous when the weapon was pulled but knew that they promised to protect him.
"All present and accounted, you know we put our own spin for on the mokeskin backpack it warms up if somethings missing plus it has a built-in inventory list. "
"I'm carrying the instant wards. "Sam piped up, seeming to pick the slack as the girls were preoccupied with other matters.
"Instant wards?" said Harry befuddled.
"Oh, that right, London is really behind. I think only Hermione will recognize us on sight. "
"Why is that?" Harry said with an eyebrow raise. Only for Lola and Kat see looking at each other and having a silent conversation. Kat nodded to Lola, who cleared her voice.
"Were a bit famous across the big pond for two reasons," explained Lola.
"One is that we are a bit of inventor most of the stuff we have with we invented ourselves. "
"Which are perfectly safe. They're just patent-pending and waiting for M. F. Approval reason being only paperwork; all the things we invent are entirely safe. "Katherine said with a sigh.
"Usually take a year or two depending on the release," Lola said with an annoyed tone like this hasn't been her first time dealing with them.
"The other reason we're famous, we'd explain that when we get to Hermione's place. It's something I don't want to say twice. "Lola said with some exasperation.
"Oh, ok, I didn't get to ask earlier where are we exactly?" Harry asked, still looking around, his eyes mesmerized by where he was in wonder that made him look to others much younger than he was to the slight smile of the rest of the group.
"Well, most people call it the rapid magic highway," Sam said softly though his face was neutral, conveying neither joy nor anger.
"Time is still in here, and no time passes out there either. We usually zip in and out when we're on the carpet, but we need to tell you something before we set foot in Hermione's house. "Lola said.
"Hermione's family is upscale but humble, and we may see Hermione's a bit loopy. Please remember that she is taking salves, and there's Dumbledork's paid-off healer that visits twice a week. There is like a pool guy every other Thursday. She mostly likes home alone. We're going to need to detox her as we did you. "As Lola finished, a living room appeared before them.
The room around them was the first thing in view. With a sophisticated-looking three-piece sofa set color of blue and black with a beautiful kitchen island of linoleum.
"Ok, we're here, Sam; throw the instant wards quick. "Sam threw the instant ward almost like a grenade of blue light came out of it forming around the home.
"Ok, we're going to be fine. Only people whose intentions are good can be here."
"Hey Sam, can call you to know who. We need to keep this place safe and update the heads that we made contact with, and they'll come soon. "Lola called out, who was already going into the house. As he walked in, she seemed to be prepping her something and was writing out a note. But Kat seemed to stop to help her sister with preparations for whatever they are doing. As they seemed to be being put away on the carpet and were pulling out potions.
"Hey, Harry, if you want to find Hermione, her room is on the second floor," Kat said without looking up from what she was doing with Lola. As Sam, who I can see outside of the window, seeming adding on to instant wards.
"Thanks, Kat," Harry said genuinely as he walked up the stairs; he felt himself worried for his true best friend.
"Your welcome, sweetie," Katherine said; there wasn't a smile though her voice was a bit warm. Katherine, for her part, while kind, seemed too stoic and kept her emotion in check based on how she interacted with her sister and Sam. Her voice gave away how she felt when her face was impassive.
As he got closer to the room, he heard the beeping of some type of machine and knocked on Hermione's room.
"Come in?" A groggy voice responded. Harry had never heard her sound so weak and could feel his heart in his throat.
Harry opens the door to find a bedridden Hermione Granger hooked up to a heart monitor. Her hair spread out on the pillow. Her face was as pale as snow. Her arms were slightly bruised and purpling, making me wonder if she had been hurt after we parted at the King's cross.
"What are you doing here, Harry? Aren't you supposed to be at the Dursley's?" Hermione slowly groggily said. She tried to sit up, but she seemed like she lacked the strength. Harry gently pulled her up so she could sit up in the bed.
"Can't I visit you, Hermione?" Harry said playfully. Trying to make her smile through his heart seems to be getting squeezed in his chest.
"Of course, Harry, but how did you figure it out where I live. I never told you, did I, Harry?"
"That would be our doing, Hi Hermione," said Katherine and Lola together, reminding him of how the twins.
"My god Harry, how did you meet Katherine and Lola Zacharia?"
"They saved me from Dursley prison. How do you know about Katherine and Lola?"
"Harry! They are first-generation prodigies! Katherine is a master of potions, Arithmancy, and ancient ruins. "Lola is a transfiguration and charms prodigy. They have been on the Rising International Mages monthly a few times, as have the inventions they put up for a patent. "Hermione, for her part, looked slacked jaw like she was an inch away from bowing, asking them from mentoring her personally. Katherine and Lola, for their part, looked sheepish about their involvement in things.
"How did you find out where we live anyway?" Harry was listening, but the question seemed to blurt right out of him.
"Scrying It's not something they do in England, but it works," Lola said, but something about how she held herself that wasn't the whole truth, something Harry noted and keeps in the back of his mind to ask later.
"Oh, I see how you found us so accurately; the scry is never wrong," Hermione said pensively, nodding seeming to know about the technique they were talking about it.
"Why are you here? I'm honored you're here, but aren't both of you swamped? No offense. "
"Non-taken we came here to train you and Harry; to answer your unasked question, Hermione? No, Dumbledork didn't send us. We need to give you something we swear has been tested and safe. Can we give you our healing potion? We need you to be healthy for this excursion. And you will thank us for this, trust me. "
"Of course. "
Without further ado, Lola gave Hermione the potion. Her eyes flashed white, blue, and green and went back to normal. Then her skin tone flashed red and purple. As she seemed to be pulled out of a haze and her strength seemed returned to her like whatever Dolohov had done to her, and whatever had been done after that could not touch her. As Hermione got out of bed and seemed to roll her shoulder experimentally, giving a happy sigh.
"How do you feel, Hermione?" Katherine asked, her voice speaking carefully, her voice showing sympathy towards.
"Do you feel better?" Lola asked softly, her face showing her concern.
"I feel as fit as a fiddle, but I do feel angry, sad, and happy for you freeing me from the compulsion charm on my mind. "
"It's no problem. "
"Our pleasure. "
"That going to be their potion for the common cold to a serious ailment like splatters-griotts. It can't cure the ailment of other potion ailments like love potions. Sam said unexpectedly he seemed so militaristic in his behavior and actions like an older soldier.
"Thanks for the shout out Sam," Katherine said sweetly. But her face lacks the stony seriousness that Harry noticed she carried with her.
"Well, anyway, what are you training us for?"
"Harry, let me ask you? Is Dumbledore training you to fight Voldemort? Preparing you for the final battle at all?"
"No, not even a little. "
"Harry, Dumbledore is using you as his scapegoat. Sacrificing you to Voldemort; so, he could finish the war with a power that he's craved for so long. "
"But Dumbledore doesn't want to power. . . "
"Dumbledore wants complete domination, not a small gig like the minister of magic. Think about its Dumbledore blocked your minds, tried to tie to the two youngest Weasley idiots. So that when Harry dies, they can get their hands on his money. Hermione, so they could drain her mind. "
"How do you know all of this? Do you have spies in Hogwarts?"
"Something like that. Fawkes!" Katherine yelled. Fawkes appeared.
"Fawkes isn't truly bonded to Dumbledore. Fawkes found me and my sister, Lola, when we were visiting France for a trip for the meeting we had with major manufacture for potions which we later decided we couldn't work with."
"Something about Lola allowed Fawkes to break the spells that Dumbledore cast on him years ago to keep up his illusion of being the leader of the light. I'm taking you to somewhere important, He said. He brought us to Avalon-Atlantis. We met the Queen. "Katherine said happily, the solemn look lifting for a moment.
"She told us of Britain's stupidity, treachery, and disrespect towards Avalon. By stealing their accomplishments and taking them as their own. That was why Avalon disappeared as well as be taken for granted, but they didn't truly disappear more like they just became one nation. "Lola went on to say.
"We also became the Queen's personal bodyguards," Katherine said, her voice as always had this solemn tone.
"Congrats." Harry piped up, realizing they were a lot more accomplished, and bonding with a Phoenix is no easy feat either.
"Thank you," Lola said with a smile.
"The Atlantis-Avalon monarchy warded the entire Continent. That's why the rest of Europe complains about England. They cause two countries to be more remote and less lenient toward the other countries. "Katherine peevishly.
"Avalon-Atlantis monarchy is in control of all magic and magical people in every country. As I'm sure, Hermione is aware. "Lola said with a nod to her with a spark in her eyes.
"I was aware, but I didn't know that was in control of England," Hermione said with an awed voice.
"I heard about it from Viktor when we still exchanging letters; he told me about new laws of protection for dragon usage for events having heard what happened in the Triwizard and the fact they agitated a nesting mother and they should be used for sports since dragons are a collective species. I read about it in passing when I was in France when I asked Professor McGonagall; she seemed to tell me not to mention what I know out loud."
"I wouldn't be surprised if there are laws about speaking about the true ruling body. If your moronic government banned all knowledge and books about England's treachery and deception," Katherine said wisely.
"He and all his predecessors have been making laws without the knowledge or approval of the King and Queen," Sam said ominously.
"We are taking you with us to Avalon-Atlantis. We need to speak to King Marco and Queen Sophia so we can go to back the beginning. So, we can help you train for this war, and stop the unneeded deaths. Plus, it is the only place in the entire world with the time star. "
"The Time Star?" Harry asked, wondering what it could be and how it could help.
"Hermione?" Lola said with a slight smile on her face.
"The time star would be considered the eighth wonder world. Well, that is if the muggles knew about it. It's at the center of Avalon-Atlantis. It has the only natural occurring time travel rune in existence. It's even has a calendar to set to a specific time and date. But there is one flaw it could only go back to a time as far as seven years, then it needs to recharge again. I read about it after seeing a painting of it at the magical wing of The Louvre. "Hermione said wisely.
"The King and Queen understand your plight, so they're giving you this chance. "Sam said wisely.
"But we can't give you all the information right now; we don't know if your home has listening charms or bugged outright or if someone is watching your home as well. We will be leaving soon; we just need to get your things packed. Thankfully, Sam already called someone to pick up your things." both sisters were ping pong their words back and forth, nearly giving both of them a headache though Lola seemed to pick on this and decided to speak for both of them for the time being as Kat secured everything and did a final sweep without explaining what she was looking for.
"Hermione, I would like to bring your journals. The ones you kept on everything that has happened to while at Hogwarts. You were rather meticulous on writing about things as they happened when they happened until the present."
"How did you know Hermione had journals?" Harry said, not even knowing Hermione had one, much less several personal journals.
"Very observant. Fawkes is all-knowing of everything that happens in Hogwarts. He saw that she kept a journal which will come in handy for planning, so the unnecessary doesn't occur. It will be used for plans that we will explain when we are safe." Realizing that they wouldn't get any answers unless they followed what they asked based on what she had been forced to forget, Hermione already trusts these girls to have the best interest in mind over most of the adults that have claimed that over the years. Went to her room where she had not her school trunk and clothing had been missing but just kept that in the back of her mind to ask about later, keeping in mind the task at hand and taking her journals out from the lockbox under her bed walking down to the living room and placing them in the bag. And with everything packed up, they told Fawkes to take their things first, and you could take us next. Alright? He trilled in approval. And he left in a flash of fire. Alright, it will take two more days for The Time Star to be fully charged. And Fawkes came less than a minute from his departure.
"Ok, hold on to Fawkes."
Unlike many other forms of travel, it wasn't painful. In a flash, they were in a new place, unlike anything they ever have seen. The beauty around rolling hills and unicorns was frolicking in the grass. And centaur speaking to wizards. Veelas danced fluidly and expertly in a circle. And a grand castle on the horizon. More beautiful than Hogwarts could ever dream of being. It looks like an angel designed the entire castle by hand.
"I see that you're awestruck. I'm not surprised we were too when we first arrived," Sam said; he chirped happily.
"How can this place be so beautiful and peaceful?" Harry said, shocked while Hermione seemed to be more invested in watching the interactions of the magical creatures only to look to them.
"When they became more remote, Avalon-Atlantis became a safe haven for magical creatures and magical persons alike. Let's get to the castle; it won't take long, and we can show you your rooms and around the castle and where the Time Star is what we have to do to go back." And with they started their short walk to the castle.
Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was at a loss. His best field agent and spy, Severus, had gotten hurt trying to figure out? Who had contacted the boy? As well as the fact and even worse, the daily prophet has caught wind of the boy's disappearance. Something I didn't want to get out, but it's hard to hide when the wards on number four broke completely, was visible by who was being interviewed for the Kneazle breeding business she has. Who asked about what was she feeling from the magical wash over her? She started talking about Harry, who lived nearby. I nearly killed the ridiculous squib, but I knew that if I did, it would cause problems with my forces who use her home as a base for being able to apparate to and have Order meetings at now. As Grimmauld place had become unavailable to us since the death of Black.
Where's Harry Potter?
By: Janet Wentworth
As of late yesterday evening, it had come to our attention that Harry Potter has disappeared from his family home. Some of our field reporters even went to his family home; to ask about if they knew of Potter's whereabouts and if they saw anything suspicious. We were shocked to find out; that he has been kidnapped by two mysterious women. When we ask them to describe the women, they replied, "looked to be in their twenties with ebony black hair. "Could Harry Potter truly be kidnapped, or is his acting out for attention? As well as the fact that He Whom Must Not Be Named was more actively seen by prominent members of the ministry last month. Could it be his followers have found him? So much is up in the air. I would ask you, dear readers, to demand the D. M. L. E and Amelia Bones to take the manhunt for finding Harry Potter. This is an emergency, and that he be protected since his familiar home seems to lack the security of someone from an ancient and noble should be afforded. If random people can just spirit him away with no problem or alerting the authorities of their illegal behaviors or motives.
Look at pages three & four of Harry's history of attention-seeking and page five of possibilities of where's the Boy Who Lived disappeared to. What it could mean if Harry Potter has been held hostage by Dark forces. On pages six to nine, with the speculation of experts on dark wizards' actions and behaviors.
Considering the bang of windows from post owls and the fact the floo seem to flare to life. Knowing I wouldn't have any peace and I couldn't just leave since Fawkes had left prior while I had breakfast and hadn't been hearing my calls. Today truly wasn't Albus Dumbledore's day.
At the Same Time, at The Burrow
As Mrs. Weasley sat down to read The Daily Prophet. Her mind whirling and her emotions like a tempest settling on anger and despair. Her meal ticket her family's out of poverty. All the years of cultivating and making that orphan heir who can give this family the financial security for their family.
"Great, the boy disappeared now. We can't keep giving him the love potion regimen now. We need to bleed the boy dry before he gets himself killed by You Know Who." She said it softly to herself. Knowing she had to contact Dumbledore and make sure their deal was still, start the search, and bring him here soon.
"Ron and Ginny? I need to have a word with you both in private. "She bellowed, her voice ring throughout the house.
Ginny, the prim a proper daughter she believes she is, got there quickly, and Ron strolled slowly lazily in.
"Yes, mother?" Ginny said, holding herself in a prim, proper pose. If she wasn't on her fifth boyfriend this year, she might have been believable to imagine she would be.
"Yes, mother," Ron muttered while looking up at the ceiling of the living room.
"Speak clearly, Ronald," said Mrs. Weasley said sternly.
"Yes, mother." Ronald clearly while looking at her for the first time.
"That's better. Have either of you have an idea of where he would take off too?" Mrs. Weasley said with an exasperated tone, but she looked stern and rigid.
"No, mother, I haven't heard from him yet," Ginny said morosely.
"I got a message from the prat said things were ok, and he said nothing about escaping his muggle family jailers," he said bitterly.
"Well, wherever he is sure, I'm sure Dumbledore can find him. Then we can put the plan back into action to suck the boy dry of his money after You Know Who kills him."
Unknowing, they revealed their plans to twins. It came as a surprise, but the surprise was on them. They apparated back to their flat. And to send a message with their fastest owl Logan.
Final note: Finally, I edited this chapter after nearly a decade. Mostly because I felt like it. As well as the fact I got some constructive criticism on this chapter that I had literally left unchanged since I originally uploaded it. So thanks guest with a bad attitude on ffn you helped.
