Okay, here's the second. I tried to do it more from Harry's POV.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Harry was still depressed about the death of Sirius. Ron and Hermione decided they wouldn't let him wallow. When the next trip to Hogsmeade came around they dragged him to the village to visit all their favorite shops.
However when Harry wanted to go to the Shrieking Shack to see the place where he had first met his godfather, they didn't argue. Bundling their robes around them they trudged up the hill and through the woods.
They had just arrived at the Shack when five boys suddenly appeared in midair and fell to the ground. That wasn't too surprising. The three were used to people Apparating out of nowhere after a summer with Fred and George. What was surprising was the actions of the boys. They seemed surprised and confused.
Harry was about to say something when one with hair that rivaled Harry's own in messiness spotted them. Moving with a speed Harry would have not though possible he moved into a fighting stance and drew a gun. Then a strange boy with long hair called him off.
"He's Harry Potter," the boy said. The other three boys looked up. Harry sighed, great, more fans. The boy's next statement surprised him. He squealed in delight.
"And Hermione! And Ron! Ohmygodohmygod!" The boy jumped to his feet and ran over. Grabbing Hermione's hand he shook it vigorously.
"I'm so excited to meet you. I've admired you forever."
Harry was shocked and slightly put out, usually he was the one getting all the attention. Then he mentally slapped himself. That was silly, hadn't he gotten over himself yet? Plus there was the question as to how the boy knew them.
"Um, who are you?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, I'm Duo. That's Heero." he pointed to the boy with the gun. "Trowa, Quatre, and Wufles." He gestured in turn to a boy with a strange hair style that covered one eye, an adorable boy with blond hair and blue eyes, and a boy who looked Chinese, who frowned and said,
"Its Wufei."
Suddenly Duo frowned and pinched himself.
"Ouch," he said, "Okay, I guess I'm not dreaming. Am I hallucinating?" he wondered. The boy named Wufei snorted.
"It wouldn't be the first time," he said derisively. Duo pouted.
"Be nice," he said, "Besides if I'm hallucinating then how come you're here?"
"Um," the blond Quatre said, interrupting the exchange. Harry and Hermione were staring in open shock. Ron was grinning slightly. They turned to look at the blond.
"Where and when are we?" he asked. Hermione regained her senses at the question. Answering questions she could do.
"England, AD 2003." The blond frown and turned to the boy with that strange hair.
"England? Is that on Earth?" he asked. Silently the other nodded.
"2003. That would mean we're 400 years in the past," Heero said. The others turned to him.
"Wow, so we really are in the book. That is so cool." Heero knocked Duo over before he could get excited again.
"So what do we do?" Quatre asked. Heero shrugged. Harry decided to speak up.
"You could come back to the castle with us. Dumbledore might know what to do." Duo jumped up and avoided Heero's blow. Bouncing over to Harry he stopped.
"Dumbledore? You mean the Dumbledore? Wow that is so cool. Let's go." Grabbing Harry's arm he headed down the path. Ron and Hermione shrugged and followed. The four other boys did the same.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
As they were walking down the path Duo turned to Harry.
"Hey just so I don't mix things up, what happened at the end of last school year?" Harry tensed. Seeing this Hermione stepped up and answered.
"We went to the Ministry to find the weapon that Voldemort was searching for," she said quietly. Duo looked at Harry. Noting the tenseness of his muscles he simply said,
"I'm sorry. I think I know how you feel." Leaving Harry gaping at him he dropped back to join his friends. Harry turned back to the path. Who was this boy? and how did he know?
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
"Okay let's figure out what's going on," Quatre said.
"We're in England, Earth. The year 2003 BC (Before Colony). Apparently we're going to a castle to see a man who might be able to help us, and Duo is the only one who has any clue what's going on," Wufei said.
"So what should we do?" Instinctively the others turned to Heero. He was the Perfect Soldier. In a situation like this he was the one best equipped to lead. Fully understanding this burden Heero though for a moment before speaking.
"Our best chance is to visit this Dumbledore person because he may be able to help us. For now stay on your guard. Duo, you inform us of any cultural things we'll need to know about. Understood?"
There were nods of agreement all around.
"Excellent," Duo said, "First tip, these people are not civilians, however guns are practically unheard of so keep everything out of sight unless absolutely necessary. Oh, and we might be seeing some weird things so try to keep and open mind and not blow everything away." This last comment was directed towards Heero, who simply nodded.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Presently they arrived at the castle. Duo stopped in front of the doors. Gazing up at the tall towers he whispered,
"Never in all my dreams."
"What's this Potter? Dragging new strays in?" A voice drawled behind them. Heero tensed and his fingers twitched. Duo saw this and placed a hand on his arm.
"Let me handle this," he whispered. Taking a deep breath he turned around and shrieked in a very fangirly fashion,
"Oh my GOD! It's the Draco Malfoy." Flinging his arms around the shocked blond he whispered in his ear,
"I know your secrets, don't antagonize me." Then pulled back and looked at the growling boys on either side of him.
"Oh don't be jealous," he said, "I know who you are too. Crabbe and Goyle. Though seriously I though you would have looked a bit smarter. Oh well," he shrugged. Then he turned back to the group that was standing on the steps, looking as though someone had cast a Stupefy spell on them.
"Come on guys," he said, "I want to meet Dumbledore."
Once inside the entrance hall, Ron began laughing. Thumping Duo on the back he exclaimed,
"That was bloody brilliant! Did you see their faces?" He dissolved back into laughter. Hermione looked prim.
"That's all well and good," she said, "But I was hoping we could avoid attention." Duo slung an arm around her shoulders.
"Don't worry 'Mine. Draco can't do anything that I can't handle," he reassured her, "Now then the third floor right?"
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Presently they came upon the gargoyle that guarded the entrance to Dumbledore's office. Harry moved forward to give the password he remembered from last year. Duo stopped him.
"Let me guess," he said. Then he crumpled his face into an adorable mask of concentration. Suddenly his face brightened.
"Fizzing Whizzbies," he announced proudly. The gargoyle didn't move. Duo's face fell.
"An admirable attempt, but I changed it recently."
The group spun around to face an old man in midnight blue robes. Duo's face lit up once more.
"Dumbledore!"
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I know I keep ending on the same sort of cliffhanger, but I couldn't find anywhere else to end it. I think I've introduced everyone I want to now so something different will happen next time.
