A/N: Remembering this is an AU. I've tried to stay as true to the books as possible but to make the story easier to write thing shave changed. It takes place during the 6th year at Hogwarts and around COLS time but Valentine is obviously still alive and also when Catching Fire should take place. Also 'Dark Magical Sorcres' said I should add Moriarty from Sherlock and I was so tempted to do just that. I was trying to figure out a way I could add him in as well as Sherlock and John obviously but i'm sorry to say i couldn't think of a way to add him to the plot line without having to change loads so i didn't and i'm sorry.. however i'm thinking of writing a WhoLock fic at some point (soon I hope) so watch out for that :) R&R


Magnus grumbled to himself as the group waited for Isabel to emerge with her case. "I told you all to be ready for when I arrive and here I am but you're not ready."

"Magnus it's Izzy she'll be here soon." Alec said. He was leaning against the door in the Sanctuary with his case besides him. Jace was next to Clary sitting on the floor and Simon was standing. "Should I go get her?" He asked.

"So you can make out and take even longer. I don't think so." Magnus sighed.

"Tell me again why and where we are going. Should we not focus on more important issues like Valentine and The Mortal Cup." Jace asked pushing his hair back.

"I was asked by an old friend to come and teach at his school. They use magic new to even me. It's good to have allies during a war and he is a valuable one."

Alec scoffed from where he was standing. "Still don't like the sound of this friend Magnus."

"Alec when you see Dumbledore you'll understand why nothing has or will happened between us. Trust me. Now go after your sister and tell her to hurry or we shall miss this train. It leaves at 11am sharp!" Alec headed out the room to hurry his sister.

"So what are you teaching, like what is the school like and why are we needed?" Clary asked.

"I'm teaching something different. Magical affairs is its official name. Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a school for young witches and wizards and you are coming to learn the ways of the school and because Dumbledore said you could."

"Learn the ways of the school?" Jace raised an eyebrow.

Magnus sighed, "Yes learn Jace, not that hard! You'll sit in the lessons and be taught something."

"I just think it's a waste of time is all."

"You need to see the bigger picture. I used to know a guy like you before I met you."

"Is he handsome and brave." Jace smiled.

"No he was a fool and dead, just like you'll be if you head straight into battle with Valentine." Jace scoffed.

"Okay ready." Isabel walked in with a case in one hand and Church in the other.

"Izzy don't bring the cat." Simon said.

"Hey they said we can bring an owl, toad or cat so I'm bringing Church." She smiled. "So are we going or what."

Magnus sighed and pointed to an old shoe in the corner of the room. "That's how we get there."

Everyone looked at the shoe. "He's lost it, Alec your boyfriend has lost it." Jace said in the silence.

"Magnus its a shoe, we're not going anywhere with that thing."

"Actually Alexander, it is more than a shoe and I'll have you know Jace I have not lost it. It's a portkey. Dumbledore told me to make sure we all held on to it when wanting to leave and it would take us to Kings Cross station in London."

The group looked at Magnus then sighed, "Guess we'll all look like fools together if it doesn't work." Simon commented. "Lets go then."

They each grabbed their case and stood around the shoe. "We must all hold onto it at the same time. On three." Magnus began, "1...2...3" The group grabbed hold of the old shoe and were take aback when the earth moved around them.

It felt as though they were flying, the world was spinning and no one could say a word. Before they knew what was happening it al stopped and they had landed on the stone floor of Kings Cross station. Simon was the first to speak, "Well that was fun." He said sarcastically.

"I think I am going to throw up." Jace commented. All of them stood and looked around. The train station was busy yet no one had noticed the group's arrival. "Mundane's." Magnus whispered. "Come on, platform to 9 & 3/4." He led the way.

They walked the length of the station. It was 10:50 and they could not fine the platform or a train to Hogwarts. "Have we got the wrong station?" Clary asked looking around.

"Dumbledore said Kings Cross. He set up the portkey. Perhaps we should ask."

"Excuse me." Magnus looked behind him. A tall slim girl with mousy brown hair approached them. "Are you looking for the Hogwarts Express?"

Magnus smiled, "We sure are. Could you point us in the right direction?"

"Hermione if they don't know the way they aren't aloud to go!" A tall red headed boy and a tall boy with glasses walked up to the group also.

"Honestly Ronald they are obviously new. They mentioned Dumbledore." The girl, Hermione rolled her eyes. "You have to go through the wall between platform 9 and 10. You can follow us come on." Hermione led the way, followed by her two friends and then Magnus and his party.

When they reached the wall Jace stared at it, "Now what?" He asked.

"Copy me." Hermione walked up to the wall and straight through it.

"What the!" Simon exclaimed.

"I should have known." Magnus smiled.

"Yeah you should have." The red head said and followed after Hermione.

"Don't mind Ron, he's just grumpy. I'm Harry by the way." He said to the group and followed after his friends.

Alec looked at his friends and asked, "Who first?"

Isabel sighed and mumbled "boys." Under her breath and followed after the trio. Simon went next followed by Magnus, Alec, Jace and Clary. They all panicked a little hoping not the hit the wall but no collision came.

"Thank god we didn't hit the wall." Clary let out her held breath.

"Come lets find a seat on the train." Magnus said. They each put their cases away and walked on board. The train, much like the platform, was Busy. Children were rushing to the windows to say goodbye to their loved ones or to get an empty carriage.

"Prim wait." A small blonde girl squeezed between the group followed by a tall well built brunette, presumable the one calling after the young girl. "Sorry." He grumbled pushing past them.

"We need to find a carriage or I'll end up hitting someone." Isabel said as a first year student pushed her aside.

"What about here? They showed us the way." Clary had found Ron, Hermione and Harry alone in a carriage. Hermione was smiling and gesturing for them to come in.

They group entered and sat down. "We didn't get to properly introduce ourselves earlier. I'm Hermione Granger, this is Ron Weasley and Harry Potter." The group smiled politely and introduced themselves.

"Bloody hell, you're not a long lost cousin are you?" Ron asked when it came to Clary. Jace laughed along with Simon.

"Maybe." She smiled.

"Well you're not from around here so what brings you to Hogwarts?" Hermione asked not taking notice to Ron's interruption.

Magnus explained who they were and why they were here. "What do you mean learn our ways? Is it not the same in America?" Harry asked.

"Ah well you see we're not quite the same. I am a warlock and my friends here are Shadowhunters." Ron and Harry looked at Hermione.

"I've heard of you but know very little. I read somewhere that Shadowhunters are part angel. I heard a story about some in London in the 1800s fighting these clockwork machines. It was about a young girl named... oh gosh I can't remember now but I thought it only a myth."

Magnus grinned, "It wasn't Tessa Gray by any chance was it?"

"Yes I believe it was."

Magnus' smile only grew larger, "That particular story is true. Tessa and I go way back. Actually funny story about that but her and Will were-" Magnus cut off when he saw Alec's face. Pure jealousy.

"How could you have been alive then?" Ron asked.

"Warlocks are immortal."

"This is too much to get my head around, part angel?" Ron shook his head.

"That's why he is here Ron, so we can learn."

"Yes Dumbledore asked-"

"Anything off the trolley dears?"

Ron stood up straight away and Jace looked longingly at the food. "I'll get you something my guess is you don't have the right money." Harry said. "You have to try these." He ordered chocolate frogs for everyone and 3 packets of berttie botts every flavoured beans followed by some pumpkin pasties.

The group opened their frogs, Clary squealed when hers jumped. "Is it real?" She shrieked.

Ron laughed, "Just a spell."

Jace was laughing too but not just at Clary. He had opened his, bitten the head off and was holding a card in front of him. "Yep Alec you have a lot of competition." He announced and showed the card to everyone. It was Dumbledore.

Alec scowled at Jace, "Why didn't you tell me?" He grumbled to Magnus who too was laughing.

"Because they look on your face would have been ruined."

"What's so funny?" Harry asked.

"Don't worry." Alec said and grumpily folded his arms.

Isabel laughed and petted Church, who had been on her lap. As she did so a small toad appeared at the door causing Church to hiss. "Church stop!"

"Oh dear that's Trevor isn't it?" Hermione sighed, "Neville will be looking for him." As if on key Neville Longbottom ran up to the toad. "Trevor stop." But it jumped and moved on. Church ran after it.

"Chruch!" Isabel got up and chased her cat. "Isabel don't-." But she was out the carriage doors before Simon could finish. He sighed, "Should I go after her?" He asked.

"If you want some alone time with my sister just ask man, this is the second time you've offered to get her." Alec teased.

"Oh haha." Simon said and followed after Isabel. After searching for a bit he found her in a carriage with the boy Hermione had called Neville, a taller girl with bright blonde eyes in her uniform and a tall ginger girl and the small blonde and the boy who had pushed past them earlier.

"Oh hey Simon come on in." Isabel gestured for him to sit besides her. "This is Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister and Gale Hawthore and Prim Everdeen."

They all waved at Simon. "If my brother sent you after me tell him to go away I want to have fun whilst we are away."

"This isn't a holiday Izzy." He said.

"So why are you here?" Luna said in her soft dreamy Irish accent.

"Oh yes sorry I was explaining wasn't I." Isabel explained about Magnus and the others. "Ooh Simon you know we've come at an exciting time, this year Hogwarts is host to these games. I can't remember what they're called now but Gale and Prim are going to compete along with Prim's sister and her friend Peeta. This is great isn't it?"

Gale scoffed, "The Hunger Games aren't fun. You sound like you're from the capitol."

"Where?" Simon asked.

"Never mind." Gale turned to look out the window.

"I don't understand why Dumbledore is allowing these games, after what happened last time." Ginny shook her head.

"What do you mean?" Isabel asked.

Ginny looked at Neville, "Don't worry forget I said anything."

"Are you coming back to the other carriage Isabel?" Simon stood up feeling as though they should leave.

"Guess so. Nice to meet you all see you later." She waved at her new friends and went back to the other carriage.

"You'll guess never guess what." She said and explained what she had found out.

"The what games?"

"Gale called them The Hunger Games I don't know what they are but it sounds exciting."

"Yeah definitely!" Ron said sarcastically.

"But the Triwizard Tournament was 2 years ago. Dumbledore wouldn't do this again, not now, not after last time." Harry looked at Hermione.

"It must be different or a mistake." She said more to herself than others.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters is we're going to have a good year. Besides, that Gale boy is hot." Isabel smiled.

"He's not that hot." Simon said.

"Your opinion not mine."

Harry looked at Rona and Hermione as the other argued over something petty. "What's Dumbledore thinking?" He asked.

"It's probably the ministry mate, Dumbledore wouldn't do something like this unless he was forced into it."

"Hermione have you ever heard of The Hunger Games?" She shook her head.

"Never. It'll be different to the Triwizard Tournament, although 'Hunger Games' it sound... well... wrong." The others looked at her.

"What do you mean?" They asked.

"Well think about it." Hermione sighed, " I don't know, I just think we need to prepare ourselves. This year is more than just learning about shadowhunters. We should be weary, You Know Who could be planning something."

"Do you think he has something to do with these games?" Ron asked.

"I want to say no but honestly, I think he does." Ron, Harry and Hermione all looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

"Who's You Know Who?" Clary asked, the trio didn't realise they rest of the carriage were listening to them.
