Dreams and Reality
Chapter 2
Rezurith's POV
"Now let us have a look at that letter." I said, repeating after April before she mercilessly hit me on the head with that cursed dictionary.
+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.Few Minutes Later.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
"Umm... Just asking, but is this some sort of joke?" Sabrina asked.
"Seriously! There is no freaking way in hell that we could be witches or freaking being invited to Hogwarts! It doesn't add up!" I screamed.
"Just ignore it. It's probably some kind of joke anyway." April said coolly.
. +.+.+.Time skip to Sunday.+.+.+. (A/N It was a Friday night before)
"No mail today. It's about time! That freaking bloody joker finally gave up!" I exclaimed, relieved.
'I hope' I added in my mind. It's been disturbing. Bloody joker's been sending a lot of those letters lately.
"Is it just me, or has nobody been noticing all the owls outside?" April asked. We all rushed to the window and what we saw was indeed owls of all sizes, shapes & colour.
End of POV
"Umm, guys?" Melanie asked, as if unsure. "This isn't funny anymore!"
"She's right!" Emma and Hayley agreed. "Who in the world is crazy enough to send THIS many owls just for a stupid prank!"
"Unless it isn't a prank…" Melanie added.
'True…' Everyone else thought.
"Well what are we going do about it?" Hayley asked ignoring Melanie's statement. "If this is exactly like what happens in the movie, I have a feeling that we would be practically swimming in letters if this keeps up!"
Sabrina's POV
Just as she said that, a whole lot of letters came through the fireplace but, surprisingly, not one was burnt.
"You just HAD to say that." And then yes, we were swimming in a whole bloody lot of letters. We all got a hold of one and tore them open. It was the exact same one April showed us.
"Fine then you stupid, bloody joker! We'll go to freaking Diagon Alley but one stupid thing! We don't know how to bloody get there!" Rezurith shouted to nobody. Then the door broke down and there stood a giant with a beard.
"Well then girls, I'll lead ya there." He said.
"Um, excuse me but who exactly are you?" I asked, a little timidly.
"Rubeus Hagrid at your service. Keeper of keys and grounds at Hogwarts," he replied.
"So we aren't dreaming then and this isn't a prank?" I asked again.
"Course not!" He replied.
"Lead the way then, Hagrid." Emma said.
'Déjà vu much?' Was what was on every girl's mind. Except for April, Rezurith and Hayley, who were all pondering about something.
.+.+.+. Place skip to Diagon Alley.+.+.+.
"We're 'ere now. This is Diagon Alley!"
There was only one word to describe this place, W.O.A.H. This place was amazing! It was more amazing than what we saw in the movie itself!
Rezurith seemed interested in a joke shop called 'The Weasely Wizard Wheezes'. Well, she is a prankster of some sort. Emma was interested in 'The Leaky Cauldron' or whatever. I couldn't see the sign clearly. I was very interested in that shop which sells owls. 'Eeylops Owl Emporium' I think. The owls were so cute! As for April, she was staring at a shop called 'Slug and Jiggers Apothecary'. It seems like a shop that sells potions and such. That's not good… She must have thought about something related to blackmailing Rezurith. Hayley's choice of shop was typical of her, it was called 'Flourish and Blotts' and it was some sort of book store. She was a bookworm that's for sure. Melanie though, I can't say. She was jumping up and down admiring the shops as if they were sacks of 5 million dollars.
Funny she didn't look at the bank. The one in the movie was right there.
Since reading the books, I've taken a liking to owls. Rezurith didn't change much, just for the fact that she started pranking us at every chance she gets. Hayley's been reading the spells as much as she could, though everyone does too, just that she practices. Emma's been looking at pictures of wands in the movies lately. She likes Fleur's the best but I don't know why. Based on how she sees it then. April though, is the weirdest of the bunch. She's been studying potions and their ingredients. She didn't mind if the ingredients were gross or not, she even said they were cool! Eww… As for Mel's, she's been doing a bit of each.
It's kind of a nostalgic feeling, as if we've known about them since we were born, wizards and spells and such. I can imagine my parents teaching us magic, and I guess we should have known, since we found wand-like sticks –that we all know now ARE wands- in our parents rooms, though on different nights. The thing is though, I don't know why it never crossed our minds that this world was real, even though we started using the wands with spells from 'Harry Potter'.
This place… Who could've imagined? Of all the fictional –sort of- stories we've ever read, who would've thought that the world of Harry Potter, Harry Potter, was real? Well, that would be fine I guess. All of six of us know the basic Harry Potter storyline, heck, the whole story! And that explains why we're able to use wands. And cast spells.
Flashback:
"Mom! Dad!" I called. "Mom, what are these sticks?" I asked, as I was still in the age where I asked about almost everything.
"Oh, uhm, those are just sticks honey! Put them back where you found them, OK hon?"
End of Flashback-
At that time, I could sense their hesitation, but I passed it off as a parent thing. Then there was the time where all six of us started to use the wands, which was when we started living in Hayley's mansion.
Flashback:
"Hey, Emma?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever seen sticks like these? What I mean is, have you ever saw sticks like these in your parents room." I asked as I showed her the wands.
"Yeah! I found them in some sort of cupboard. I asked them what they were but they said they were just sticks. I could tell they weren't 'just sticks', but I passed it off as nothing."
"The same thing happened to us!" Everyone else said in unison.
"You were listening?"
"Yeah!"
"Well, bring them over then, maybe we can figure them out." Hayley suggested and we all agreed.
.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.1 Hour Later.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
(It's going to be more of a conversation between Rezurith and Hayley unless I say so.)
"Hey, they kind of look like wands, don't they? Not to mention the have different designs…" April spoke.
"Hmm, yeah. Try and do a spell Hayley!" Rezurith said.
"Alright, but the idea is stupid and I'm only doing it because I'm curious. Besides, what spell am I supposed to do?"
"Anything!"
" Okay."
"Accio… uh, what?"
"Anything!"
"Alright, alright! Sheesh… ok, here goes nothing… Accio " she paused for a minute and looked behind at a dictionary behind Rezurith, then continued and said/shouted, "Accio Dictionary!" Then just as she said that, the dictionary bumped Rezurith's head HARD and flew over to Hayley.
"It worked, it worked!" Everyone exclaimed with awe and amazement, except for Rezurith who, once again, got hit with the dictionary and April, who didn't do much.
End of Flashback-
I chuckled at the thought. Now, we all got used to different types of spells.
But I guess that explains why everyone was quick at learning something, as well as accepting that all this magical stuff was real. I'm betting that most people would have freaked out or maybe even fainted at the sight of Hagrid. But for some reason, I have a feeling that not everything we read in J.K. Rowling's books have happened yet, maybe they're never going to happen. We'll just have to wait and see.
Now, we're off to Ollivander's, where we get our wands I guess.
End of POV
.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.Time Skip.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+.+
Emma's POV
Hagrid took us to a wand shop called 'Ollivanders' first to get our wands. Inside were piles of narrow boxes piled up. Hagrid told us that he would wait outside. I'm guessing it's because he couldn't fit in. We went in the shop and rang the bell on the table. Mr. Ollivander hurried out from the piles of narrow boxes and asked us,
"Hello, how may I help you?"
"Um, hi. We're looking for wands, can you help us find some?"
"Of course! Wands are my specialty! Okay, let's see here, you," he pointed to me, "I think I know just the wand for you."
He scurried into the piles of boxes again and cautiously pulled out a box from a pile.
(You can search for what the materials symbolize. Rezurith decided on them so I don't know what they symbolize, except for April's)
"Maple, 13 inches, dragon heartstring," he gave the wand to me. I just stared at it. "Well? Wave it!"
I waved it and a pile of boxes fell.
"Sorry..."
"No, no that's not the wand for you..." He went into the piles of boxes again and pulled out a box again. "Oak, 14 inches, Unicorn tail hair," He gave it to me and I waved it. I felt an amazing warmth engulf me and a strong wind blowing in the shop but strangely, not blowing anything down at all and repairing the damage the previous wand caused. "Yes that's the one. Next you," He pointed to Rezurith.
He went into the pile of boxes again and pulled out another box. "Rowan, 15 inches, Phoenix feather, try it," She waved it and She grinned and the same strong wind blew in the shop again. I guess she felt the same warmth engulf her.
"Perfect, now you," he pointed at Hayley, "I know just the wand for you!" He went back into the pile of boxes again and retrieved 10 boxes. He took out one and gave it to her. "Rosewood, 13 inches, dragon heartstring, try it." She waved it and an oil lamp shattered.
"Sorry..."
"No, that's not it, try this one, yew, 15 inches, unicorn horn."
Hayley's POV
I waved the wand and I closed my eyes and smiled in pleasure and again, the strong wind blew. Then it repaired the damage.
"Yes, that's the one, now you," he pointed at April, "I know yours." He got a box out of the pile of 10. "Hornbeam, 14 inches, dragon heartstring. Try it."
She waved it and she smiled and still, the wind blew and repaired all the damage. "Perfect. Now you," He pointed to Melanie, "Rosewood, Veela hair, 13 inches."
She waved it and she smiled warmly and again, for the umpteenth time, the wind blew.
"Yes, that's the one, now you dear," he pointed to Sabrina, " I know the one. Let me see..." He fished one more box out of the pile of 10. "Ah , yes! Rosewood, 10 3/4 inches, pheonix feather. Try it."
She waved it and made the file cabinet at the side fall.
"No, not this one. Should've known. Hmm... What about this one?" We all looked at each other. "This one! Rosewood, 12 inches, Maple."
She waved it and with a crazy smile, the wind repaired the damages. 'Nuff said.
"Yes, is that all?"
"Yes." I replied.
"39 galleons please."
Melanie's POV
Rezurith went out of the shop to ask Hagrid for money I think. She returned with 39 gold shiny coins and gave them to Mr. Ollivander. He gave us our wands and we went out of the shop.
"Oh, almost forgot. We need to go to Gringotts to get the fortune yer parents left you, Hayley."
"Wait, what? My parents left me a fortune?" Hayley asked.
"Well, course! They were one of the best wizards at your age!"
"So they were wizards… So we're all purebloods then?"
"Aye, ye are."
"Ok then, to Gringotts it is!
April: Well, there's the next chapter.
Rezurith: Hey! You didn't have to mention when I got hit by that freaky bat!
April: Don't mind her. Anyways, xxxSakuraXionHinamorixxx still doesn't have a beta reader so this might be full of mistakes.
Sabrina: Please RnR!
Melanie: No flames pls!
