When they were all collected, sitting at the kitchen table, Simon stood up.
"I vote we order pizza." There was a corres of agreement around the table, except from the one of the boys, the one with red hair to rival Clarys.
"All right, what do we want?" Asked Jace, picking up his phone and dialling the pizza place.
"Peparonine!"
"Olives!"
"Ham!"
Jace was now scrambling to keep up with all the orders, and when they finally subsided, he ordered two extra large pizzas, which could feed everyone.
"I believe an introduction is in order. I'm Jace." Said Jace, after putting the phone down.
"I'm Clary Fairchild."
"I am Sir Simon Lewis of New York." Clary gave Simon a look and her corrected his statement. "I'm Simon." He said.
"I'm Isabelle, but you can call me Izzy."
"I'm Alec."
"And I am Magnus Bane."
After everyone had stated their names, the trio of strangers begane.
"I am Harry Potter." Said the black haired green eyed boy. He looked like any other boy around, except for a lightning scar on his forehead.
"I'm Ron Weasley." Said the other boy, with flaming red hair.
"And I'm Hermione Granger." Said the third girl, with an authoritative, know-it-all voice.
"And why are you here?" Asked Alec.
"Because Dumbledore told us too." Every one gave the girl a questioning look.
"And who in the world in Dumbledore? He sounds like a name from Dungeons and Dragons."
"Dumbledore is an old friend of mine. He used to be the headmaster at school for witches and wizards." Magnus explained.
"So, like warlocks." Jace said, alway on top.
"No, not like warlocks. They use wands instead of there fingers, but are skilled enough to use their hands. There parents are not half demon, half human, and they can have kids. They live in a whole other world, not unlike ours, with werewolves and vamps, except different. It's very hard to explain. You have to see it to believe it." Magnus said, drawing strange looks from everyone at the table.
"You see, I know Dumbledore from oh, the 1930s, he was visiting an orphanage in London and I was very lost. We both knew something was different about the other, and took our time revealing it. But the last time I saw him was about two years ago when he called me to take an examination on his life."
"What?!" Harry cried, standing up.
"Calm down." Said Magnus. "He had touched something and wanted me to see if I could cure it. When I gave him a year, he called up the potions master to confirm it." Harry, Ron, and Hermione were looking much better about this, and Harry had sat down in his chair.
"Ok. What do you want us to do? And Magnus, what is muggle? Is that some kind of insult?"
"No, it's not an insult. A muggle is someone that can't use a wand like theres, like if you took their wands and said the magic words, nothing would happen."
"What do you want us to help you with?" Asked Izzy.
"We want you to help us look for and destroy the horcruxes." Hermione said, as if this was all the explanation they needed. Magnus's eyes glanced toward Harry.
"Pardon me asking, but what is a horcrux?" Asked Jace, saying what everyone was thinking.
"Making a horcrux is the worst evil someone could commit. To make a horcrux, you have to kill an innocent. If you choose, you can rip your soul apart and put it in an object, or a living thing." Magnus cat eyes flicked oo Harry again.
An ominous silence followed this horrific statement, interrupted by Jace letting out a slow whistle.
"That is, well, terrible." Clary commented, gripping her stele for comfort.
At this, the doorbell rang and Jace sprang to get it. Halfway there, he stopped.
"How are we paying for this?" Everyone scrapped out a few dollars, and Magnus waved his hand and yawned, showing of his magic, making thirty dollars appear out of nowhere.
"Thanks." Jace said, scraping up the money and heading back towards the door.
The next 10 minutes were silent, except for Simon explaining to the red haired boy how to eat pizza properly.
"How long will we be gone?" Clary asked.
"There's no saying." Said Harry.
"Can you make up an excuses to our parents, Magnus?"
"Already done. I am going on a trip to study some magical whatever, and Alec is coming with me, Simon was called back to his military academy on a short notice, and Clary, Jace, and Izzy are going to the London Institute to train there."
"Perfect. When are we leaving?"
"Right now, if you want." Hermione said.
And that was that. They gathered their things and Magnus did the honours of portaling them to the Forest of Dean, with the excuse, the others could not abbreviate, or apparate, or something like that.
