Welcome to another chapter of Dimensional Rift!


Harry and his new friends were walking through one of the secret corridors. To be more accurate, Harry, Lux, Ryze, and Kai'Sa were walking, Annie was still being carried by Harry on his shoulders, while Kassadin floated behind them. Thankfully, they all knew how to move almost silently which was a good thing as some teachers and prefects were still patrolling.

Harry poked his head out of the corridor's opening into a hallway before immediately pulling it back in. Voices echoed into the corridor that had everyone tense. Lux simply pulled out her staff and with a wave everyone was invisible. The timing was perfect as the two voices came into view of the group.

"Honestly Pansy, what are we doing up and about at this time. Some of us need our beauty sleep you know." Draco Malfoy said as he rubbed his face.

"I am telling you Draco, I heard something from down here," Pansy replied looking about. Her gaze constantly skipped over the hidden group.

"And you are just being delusional. Come on, let's go and get some sleep. Or maybe better, we find an old classroom to rest in."

Pansy's face lit up at the suggestion and started to drag Draco away from the group down the hallway. In the silent hallway, the quiet whispers of what Pansy wanted Draco to do for her carried down to the hidden group.

Lux had immediately jumped forward to cover Annie's ear. Annie squirmed giving Harry trouble staying still. The group did not move until a long period of silence had passed them. Once Lux dropped her spell, she took her hands off Annie's ears.

"Why did you cover my ear? I wanted to know what they were saying." Annie said as she crossed her arms and pouted.

"No, no you did not need to know what they were saying, Annie. Just don't worry about it okay." Harry said before he poked his head outside of their hiding spot. Annie just hugged Harry's head and peeked out with him. Seeing the coast was clear Harry motioned the others to follow him as he went down the hallway in the opposite direction that Draco and Pansy.

After countless hallways and moving stairs that had the group staring in wonder. Harry lead them all to the seventh floor right outside the tapestry of some guy trying to teach trolls how to dance. Lux, Ryze, Kassadin, and Kai'Sa examined the tapestry as Harry paced back forth at the opposite wall. Annie just giggled as she played with Harry's hair. When the door appeared, Annie gave a small 'eep' that had everyone else looking at the pair.

"I know that door was not there before," Kai'Sa said crossing her arms.

"Of course, it wasn't. Otherwise, this wouldn't be the best place for you to hide. Only a few people know how the magic of this room works. Now come on, standing out here is going to get us caught." Harry said as he opened the door and motioned everyone through.

As the residents of Runeterra passed through the door, they were busy examining the room they were going to hide out in. The floor was covered in a soft thick red carpet except for a small area in front of the fireplace that was at the opposite end of the door. Large dark wood doors lined the walls, as their brass handles shined in the firelight. Black couches and chairs sat around a black coffee table in front of the fireplace. Looking to the right was a dining table made out of dark wood and beyond that was a doorway that looked to lead into the kitchen.

Harry simply walked towards the couch directly in front of the fireplace and placed Annie down. Annie looked around before she started running towards the doors and poked her head inside. Lux placed her stuff down on one of the side couches as she sprawled on it. Kassadin and Ryze took a chair each that were on the opposite ends of Harry's couch. Kai'Sa walked towards the couch opposite of Lux's and jumped over the back of it and bounced a bit as she laid down.

Annie came running back towards Harry and jumped up into the seat next to him.

"Big brother, I'm hungry," Annie whined as she leaned into Harry.

Harry just smiled as he wrapped an arm around Annie. Annie continued to snuggle into Harry's side her eyes drooping a little.

"Dobby," Harry said. Which was immediately followed by a crack that had everyone sitting upright and staring at the odd creature that was standing in front of the fireplace. The little creature was bouncing in its spot, its ears flopping about as its large eyes stared at Harry.

"Great master Harry Potter has called for Dobby, Dobby is here to serve the most wonderful master Harry Potter," Dobby said as he continued to bounce.

Harry felt a blush form as Lux and Kai'Sa giggled a little at Dobby's exuberance. Even Ryze and Kassadin chuckled while Annie just stared at Dobby with wide eyes.

"Hi Dobby, sorry to bother you so late. I hope I didn't wake you," Harry said.

"Great master Harry is concerned about Dobby's sleep? Master Harry is the most caring master ever." Dobby said as he started to tear up.

"Dobby, I was wondering if you get some food for everyone here," Harry said trying to reign in the house-elf.

Dobby immediately snapped back to attention and with a nod of his head, Dobby was gone with a crack.

"What is he? And is he always so excitable?" Lux said as she giggled.

"He was a house-elf, creatures who love to work, and yes Dobby has always been like that," Harry said with a chuckle.

"Do you think he would play with me?" Annie asked as she looked up at Harry. Her wide green eyes made Harry smile in response.

"I am sure he would love to play with you Annie," Harry said before he was interrupted by the appearance of food.

The entire table was filled with foods of all kinds and plates, silverware, napkins, and lap tables appeared next to each person. Annie immediately jumped towards the sweets was about to grab them before Harry grabbed her and put her back on the couch.

"You need to eat other foods before you can have anything sweet okay, Annie," Harry said as he put together a plate of green beans, mash potato, cream corn, and a chicken leg for her.

Annie pouted in her seat but ate the food without another word. Harry smiled as he gently patted her head causing her to look up at him with a smile.

Ryze was watching the interaction with a raised eyebrow before he turned back towards his own food. The scroll that he always carried now laid beside him. Kassadin had removed his helmet showing his face for the first time. His dark hair was short and wild as his brown eyes constantly moved about. his eyes always ended up on Kai'Sa who was also staring at Kassadin with an indecipherable look on her face. Lux was barely paying anyone attention as she ate. Harry grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice and was sipping from it as the others ate.

As they were eating Harry frowned before speaking up, "Does Nautilus need anything to eat?"

Everyone paused as they looked at each other before Annie spoke up from where she was eating a cookie.

"Nope, Nauty doesn't eat or drink anything," Annie said before reaching for a treacle tart.

Everyone else just shared a look before they all shrugged and continued their meal.

Soon all the plates were cleaned of any food. Annie was resting on Harry's lap as he gently pets her hair. Lux was yawning as Kai'Sa was just laying on her couch. Kassadin and Ryze were also just relaxing in their chair. With a crack, all the dishes and silverware were gone. As if taking it as a cue, Harry stood up cradling Annie in his arms. He walked towards a door and opened it without a word. A few minutes later Harry came back out to the common area and closed the door behind him without a sound. Ryze stood as well.

"I think it will be best we all just get some rest. We can talk more of a plan tomorrow." Ryze said before he went through a door opposite side of Annie's. Kassadin followed his lead and took the room next to Ryze.

Kai'Sa bade Lux and Harry goodnight before she took the room two doors down from Annie.

Soon it was only Lux and Harry sitting before the fireplace. Before Harry could get up and leave Lux reached down into her bag and pulled out a bottle that had a glowing red liquid in it.

"Wait a moment Harry," Lux said as she walked over to him. She sat down next to him and took Harry's hand. Harry blushed as he watched Lux stare at his scars. Without a word, Lux uncorked the mysterious bottle and let a few drops fall onto his skin. Harry watched amazed as the scars faded away leaving his skin as unblemished as before. Harry looked up to see a smiling Lux who was corking the bottle again.

"Thank you Lux, you didn't need to do that," Harry said with a smile.

"Consider it a thank you, for taking the risk to help us and it felt wrong to let such injustice pass. While I am not able to punish the one who did this to you yet, I can at least help you."

"Still thank you, it means a lot that you took the time to help me. Even if wasn't a big deal."

Lux smiled before she got up from her and began to walk to her the door next to Annie's room.

"You might want to sleep here tonight Harry, don't want you getting caught being out late. Goodnight Harry."

With that Lux disappeared into her room. Harry just stared at the door for a few minutes before he walked towards the door next to Kassadin's room and entered.
