Hogwarts Castle and River Heights July 30th- Aug. 7th 1991 Summer
The soon to be eleven year-old, Harry James Potter was walking to the Great Hall with his uncle Severus Snape when the two heard yelling in the Great Hall and as they walked closer to the doors they hear Kiera yell, " IS THIS WHY YOU WOULD NOT LET MY COUSIN NANCY DREW, HER FRIENDS BESS MARVIN, HER COUSIN GEORGIA FAYNE AND THEIR BOYFRIENDS COME TO HOGWARTS FOR SEVEN YEARS, NOW THEY ARE EIGHTEEN, NINETEEN. MY UNCLE CARSON DREW IS THE BEST LAYWER OF RIVER HEIGHTS AND NANCY IS NOW FOLLOWING IN HER FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS. I WANT THEM TO COME TO HOGWARTS THIS YEAR OR ELSE!
At that precise moment Albus spoke up just then and said, " It was not the right time, Kiera and it was for the Greater Good."
Minerva came walking down the Grand Staircase to where Severus and Harry were standing with an envelope in her hand for Harry when she saw the Entrance Doors open and Anakin Skywalker walked inside the Entrance Hall. Anakin felt Kiera's anger spike to dangerous levels.
" I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT, ALBUS. IF YOU DON'T SEND TWO PROFESSORS TO RIVER HIEGHTS TODAY HOGWARTS WILL NOT BE STANDING TONIGHT!
Minerva McGonagall and Anakin Skywalker appeared in a wooded area near the Drew home and she knocked on the door. The kind housekeeper, Hannah Gruen was in the kitchen when she heard someone knocking on the door and went to answer it. Hannah opened the door and asked, " Who are you and what do you want."
Minerva answered, " Our names our Minerva McGonagall and this is Anakin Skywalker, he works with Miss. Drew's cousin Kiera at Hogwarts. Could we please talk with Miss. Drew or her father Carson Drew?"
" Mr. Drew is at his office right now, but Nancy is supposed to meet him for lunch today so why don't I call Mr. Drew and you may join Carson and his daughter if he agrees. First, however let me call Nancy down she is supposed to meet her friends Bess Marvin and George Fayne after lunch to go shopping because of a dance tonight with the boys."
" Before you call Nancy down, Mrs. Gruen we will need to speak with all six of them later tonight if that is possible?"
" Nancy, come down here please."
Nancy, a titian blonde tall slim girl of eighteen, came down the steps wearing a light blue knit suit and when Nancy reached the bottom step she said, " Is my cousin alright and why have you come now and not when I was eleven."
Minerva was about to answer when the phone rang and while Nancy answered the phone the two walked into the kitchen, but when the three heard Nancy cry out in shock, " WHAT! IS NED ALRIGHT, BESS!" They ran into the living room to see Nancy collapse in the chair next to the phone her face white as a sheet.
" Nancy, what happened and I'll call your father."
Hannah called Carson's office and when the secretary answered the phone, " Carson Drew's Office. How may I help you?"
" This is Hannah Gruen may I speak to Carson Drew please."
" This is Carson Drew speaking, Hannah what is wrong and is Nancy alright?"
" Bess called Nancy a few minutes ago with bad news about Ned and Minerva McGonagall is here with Anakin Skywalker from Hogwarts."
" Tell them that I will be home in a few minutes, Hannah and tell Nancy that I will find out about Ned Nickerson."
Ten minutes later Carson Drew pulled into the garage of his home and when Nancy saw her father's face she knew it wasn't good news about what happened to Ned, but before Nancy could ask her father anything, her cousin Kiera appeared in a flash of light blue fire. Minerva looked at Kiera with shock on her face when she noticed that Carson and Kiera had the same expression on their faces.
Nancy looked at her cousin and her father with a worried look on her face and asked, " How is Ned and what is wrong?"
Kiera looked at her cousin and answered in a sympathetic tone, " Nancy, Ned and the boys were attacked by Death Eaters a few minutes ago and I'm afraid that he was badly injured and I don't know why they attacked him of all people." In an angry tone she continued, " I will find out why they did this though so don't worry."
Later that night when Bess, George, who liked to use her boy name instead of Georgia, and their dates walked through the door to the Drew home they saw Nancy sitting on the sofa with her cousin and her father next to her. Minerva looked up from the book she was reading that Carson let her read and she said, " The six of you are going to Hogwarts and I know you are older than eleven, but we will find out why the Headmaster did this."
Meanwhile at Hogwarts Harry Potter was sitting in the Phoenix Common Room, a white room with gold trim and white-gold sofas and plush chairs. Harry was thinking of his Master, Kiera Sorceress when he felt anger come through the link that was set up when he was five.
/Harry, I am going to be held up here tonight, but I'll be back in the morning./
/ That's fine, Master, but where are you and when are you coming back to Hogwarts because Albus almost saw me while I was walking down to Uncle Sev's office./
/ I will be there soon, but my cousin Nancy Drew's boyfriend Ned Nickerson was attacked by Death Eaters. My Prince be very careful and tell Severus to keep you away from Albus./
/ Gringotts sent a letter for you Master, but the note that came with it was for me and I am confused as to why they would do that?/
/ Put the envelope in a safe place my Prince and wait until tomorrow so I can see what it is and finish your training with Professor Anakin Skywalker today and when I get back to Hogwarts I will see the letter./
Back at the Drew home, Nancy was sitting on the sofa in shock of what she had heard about Ned and wanted to see him, but as she got up her father put his hand on her arm to stop her from leaving the house, " Nancy wait until Kiera says you can leave because I don't want to lose you like I did your mother."
" What do you mean my mother, dad? Was she killed by Death Eaters too?"
