A/N: 'Kay, just in case no one has told this yet (cough cough, Rae) two people are writing this. All the chapters up 'til now have been jointly written, but now we're going to trade back and forth, me (brown dog) mainly with Blade, Ron, Hermione, and Kit, and black cat mainly with Chrestomanci, Lupin, Derk, and Harry. After we're mostly done recruiting, we'll do more joint chapters and a few more individual one. Please, address all reviews (to one, the other, or both of us) so we know who needs to work on what! We'll let you know who's writing which chapters.

Blade pulled them away from Chrestomanci and the others before he made the gate.

"How are we going to do this?" Kit asked him. Blade massaged his temples.

"I don't know." He muttered. Ron and Hermione looked at him. "We've never made a gate to another world." He explained. "Neither has Dad, but he's with Chrestomanci, so that's alright."

"Let me see, if we double the power of a translocation spell but work on making a hole that leads to this world," Here, Kit stopped to jab a claw at the first name on the list. Ron gulped nervously. "It might work."

Blade considered it. "Sounds good, but neither of us have that kind of translocation power."

"I know."

"Aargh, I wish Claudia…"

Kit interrupted him. "That's it! We've just got to get Claudia! She's wonderful with this kind of thing."

"Excuse me." Ventured Hermione. They both swung around to look at her. "But we know magic, as well. We could probably help with your problem."

Blade thought it over, and then shook his head. "You know a different type of magic. It would never work out unless we got an expert on travelling spells to fix all the wrinkles. Which leads us back to needing Claudia."

"Just for the first one, though." Argued Kit. "After that, we'd know how to do it together." Blade threw up his hands. " Alright, alright, go get her then, but we're not taking her everywhere."

Blade grinned and disappeared.

10 Minutes Later

"Where is he?" Ron asked. He was much more comfortable with Kit now, but still a bit hesitant.

"Just be patient, Ron." Hermione told him.

"Yeah, Ickle Ronniekins, be patient." Said George from behind him.

"And never forget to shut a portal." Pronounced Fred, grinning as Hermione and Ron spun around to stare.

"No knowing who could get into it."

"Maybe some sort of pranksters…"

"Like us." They finished together. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"The last thing we need is you two." She told them. She'd never quite gotten over them announcing that she and Ron were in a relationship to her parents.

"Aaaaww, looks like someone is still mad at us. How sweet."

"Who are you two?" Kit asked, confused. The twins' faces fell.

"Aw, Ronniekins, you didn't tell him about your favourite older brothers." Said George.

"Yeah, I told him about my favourite older brothers, just not you two gits."

"We're hurt, little brother." Said Fred, clutching at his side in mock-agony.

"Yeah, well, getting The Lecture from Hermione's dad as her mom went on about weddings wasn't my idea of fun." Kit looked from the twins to a seriously annoyed Ron to a red Hermione in confusion.

"Um, maybe you two should go away, unless you're actually part of this." He told them.

"The almighty griffin speaks." Announced George.

"We should respect him as we did Dumbledore." Kit fluffed out his feathers, then frowned when Ron and Hermione burst out laughing.

"That means that they're not planning on leaving anytime soon." Ron explained as the twins bowed low to Kit, then sat cross-legged on the ground. "Unless it's to go with us."

" How about I eat you two unless you go back to your world right now." They glared at Kit, then sighed at the same time.

"Fine."

"But you'll regret this if and when you come to our world." Warned George as they headed back towards the original gate.

"You know, you probably will." Ron told Kit. "They're some of the biggest prank-pullers ever."

As Kit was about to reply, Blade reappeared with a beautiful but greenish girl their age.

"This is Claudia." He said. "She's a wonder with travelling spells."

"So, where are we going first?" She said cheerfully. "Blade explained your problem to me, but I don't think that your idea will work in all of the worlds, so I'll be coming along."

Five minutes later, they were ready to go (the others had left while they were waiting for Blade and Claudia). Blade, Ron, Hermione, Claudia, and Kit strode through the gate to find their first person.
