Aliya found herself in the forbidden forest. She was back in her Hogwarts uniform.

Aliya took off. She ran out of the forest and all the way up to Hogwarts. She pushed the doors open and took off inside. She then crashed right into none other than Draco Malfoy.

"Watch where you're going I'm a prefect you know…" Malfoy trailed off when he saw who he was talking to.

Aliya stood up and brushed herself off.

Malfoy didn't say anything, he just stared completely dumbstruck.

Aliya kept walking, ignoring the confused looks from other students. She kept walking until she arrived at the gryffindor portrait. She stood there waiting and followed another student in (since she didn't know the password).

Aliya walked up to the girls dormitory and found Hermione sitting on her reading.

"What did I miss?" Aliya asked, walking over to Hermione.

Hermione looked up and a look of shock, confusion and happiness crossed her face.

"Where have you been? What happened?" Hermione asked.

"I got transported to a different world. Don't ask me how it happened because I don't know." Aliya said, smiling. "How long have I been gone? What did I miss?"

"Well Umbridge is gone and we are now in our sixth year. Snape is our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher and our new potions teacher is Horace Slughorn. Today is Friday." Hermione said. "I was just finishing this chapter before going to Hogsmead. But since you're here, what better time than now."

Hermione then stood up and they both headed down the stairs into the common room.

There waiting for them was Harry and Ron. Their eyes widened at the sight of Aliya.

"What? How? Huh?" Was all Ron managed to say.

"I'll explain everything later." Aliya said.

Then the three of them headed out of the common room and started their journey to Hogsmead.

The walk there was mostly quiet. Harry and Ron were still processing the fact that Aliya was back.

Together they entered the three broomsticks and sat down at a table.

Harry was the first that found his voice.

"Now can you tell us what happened?" He asked.

"I got transported to another world. I don't know how that happened though." Aliya said simply.

"Cool." Ron said.

Harry nodded in agreement.

"Hey where did you get that necklace?" Harry asked.

"What's his name?" Ron asked.

"Ron. Just because she has a necklace doesn't mean there is always someone else involved." Hermione said strictly.

"His name is Legolas. He's an elf that I met." Aliya said.

Ron smirked at Hermione.

"What's he look like?" Hermione asked.

"Does he look like Dobby?" Ron asked.

"He has long blonde hair, blue eyes and a kind smile." Aliya said. "And no he does not look like Dobby."

"Well that's good." Ron said.

"We're glad you're back." Harry said.

Then a waiter came over to the table to take their orders.

They all ordered butterbeers.

"So. How were exams?" Aliya asked.

"Terrible until Fred and George released fireworks right in the middle of it." Ron said.

Aliya laughed.

"I wanted to tell you guys. I'm going to go talk to Dumbledore to see if I can go home for a week or two." Aliya said.

"When do you want to leave?" Hermione asked.

"I was thinking probably Monday." Aliya said as the waiter came delivering their drinks.

"How about Tuesday." Harry said.

"Why? I don't want to have a full day of classes when I could be at home."

"Well… yeah but on the bright side you will be with us for a little longer."

"How about you see if you can come with me."

"No. I need to stay."

"I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll stay for another week. Who knows. Hey how is Sirius doing?"

Harry, Ron and Hermione exchanged grim looks.

"Sirius died." Harry said, grimly.

"What?! No!" Aliya half shouted.

"His cousin Bellatrix Lestrange killed him." Hermione said.

Aliya blinked away a few tears. Sirius was a great friend and didn't deserve to die.

"That evil monster!" Aliya said, her voice shaking. "She deserves nothing but to be sent back to Azkaban.

"I'm ready to leave." Hermione said standing up.

Everyone else nodded standing up. They all paid then left.

"I think I'm going to go home Monday morning if I can. So then I have the weekend with you guys." Aliya said as they started their walk back to Hogwarts.

"So tell us. What's that other world like?" Ron asked.

"Yeah tell of everything." Harry said.

Aliya thought for a moment before telling them all about her adventure in Middle Earth.

By the time she had finished it was night and they were all headed to bed.
