DISCLAIMER – This story will contain mild slash. Please do NOT flame me. If you do not like the story then PLEASE find one more to your liking. Bitching and moaning at me will not change my plot. The characters will more than likely seem OOC. As this is my story and I am writing it, then I can do this.

DISCLAIMER 2 – The characters are owned by JK Rowling. I would like to meet Daniel Radcliff and accept his marriage proposal, but that won't happen. Neither is me making money off of this story or going to jail for claiming what isn't mine.

DISCLAIMER 3 – Krynn and all of its characters are the property of TSR. Tracey Hickman and Margaret Weiss are co authors of the Dragon Lance books along with their families and friends. I do not own them either, but I would love to visit Krynn.

NOTE – There will contain some cursing in this story. There will contain mention of slash and possible love interests. Sirius will still be dead, but Cedric will still be alive. There will be mild bashing of some of the more aggravating characters to me. One last time, I ask that if you do not like this story then find yourself one that is more your style. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews that you are giving to me. Things will start getting interesting after I get the cast of characters together.

Chapter 5 – Together Again

Harry sent a letter off to Griphook asking if it was possible to send people through the link. It was not long before he received a reply stating that it was definantly possible to do so. Harry sent a letter to Minerva stating his idea and what he wanted. The idea was to get as many muggle born students out of the grasp of Dumbledore and Voldemort as possible. He asked that Hedwig and possibly Fawkes be sent through the portal. It was two days later when Hedwig, Crookshanks, Magus, Kreacher, and Fawkes came through the portal. Each of the owls had a letter on their legs and Fawkes carried one in his beak. Harry took his letter and read it to the group.

Dear Harry

We are currently working on the list of students that would benefit from joining you where you are. We are going to be sending the first set of students through tomorrow. Many will not have the financial backing to support themselves in this new world, but we know that you have more than enough to help take care of them. A few of us professors are getting the goblins to start sending our belongings through to you. We know that you will keep them safe. We are going to send as many students and youngsters through as possible before we cross through ourselves. We are having many problems with Dumbledore and we have to be very careful. Please watch over the students coming through. We will join you as soon as we can.

Fondly

Minerva, Severus, Pomona, and Filius

"It is good that they are going to get many of the muggle borns away from the war," said Hermione. "Their lives are in danger, and between Dumbledore and Voldemort, they could end up losing their lives."

"I agree," said Harry. "It looks like the goblins of Gringotts are going to be busy once more. Knowing the four Heads of House, they will be coming through the portal soon. I guess we should have someone in this room to start arranging the trunks in groups by their owner."

"Mother says that she spoke with Aunt Andromeda," said Draco holding his letter. "She, Uncle Ted, and Dora are going to join us here. They are tired of the fighting and want a safer place to live. They want to come here."

"It will be good to have an Auror living with us," said Neville. "That way we have fighters with us."

"Father is also going to send mother here with us," said Draco smiling. "According to this letter, he would rather both of us be out of danger. He says to tell you, Harry, that he is grateful that you are taking care of me. He is sending enough money to last both mother and myself for a long time. He is even sending some magical artifacts through that will help us in our lives."

"I am doing what is right," said Harry. "Besides, you are my friend. How could I think of doing anything else? Each of you with me is my friend and I will do what I can to help you."

The next day saw the teenagers all waiting patiently near the bag. Trunks were coming out of it rapidly and they were levitating them into stacks by owner. Later on in the day, Andromeda, Ted, Dora, and Narcissa stepped through. Draco ran up to his mother and hugged her.

"I am happy to see you are well my son," said Narcissa. "It seems that we made the right choice by allowing Lord Potter to watch out over you."

"Lady Malfoy," said Harry. "It is a pleasure to see you again. Draco and Hermione have moved your things into your suite of rooms. I am afraid that this place doesn't hold a candle to Malfoy Manor, but we have made it as accommodating as possible. The same goes for Mr. and Mrs. Tonks."

"Anything is good right about now," said Andromeda. "Please allow us to assist you in any way that we can. Also please call us Andy and Ted. We are in this together now."

"This room that we are standing in is the arrival room," explained Harry. "When a person's belongings come through we try and get them a room ahead of time. That is not always possible. There are still many rooms that we have not gotten to yet. We have a person here that is called a kender. He has a habit of making your belongings appear in his pouches. So we have this door spelled so that he can not access the room. We have some people here from this planet that is helping us at the moment. Once more of our adults get here, they will head off to their own lives. We are grateful that they have been helping us learn how to survive on this planet."

"Where exactly are we?" asked Andromeda. "What is this place?"

"We are in a city called Palanthas," said Tanis. "The building that you are in is the fabled Tower of High Sorcery. Until Harry claimed the tower, it was vacant and it was rumored to be haunted. The gods of magic on this planet have allowed Harry and your group to claim this tower. We have agreed to help the gods restore the two lost towers. Once more of you arrive, we shall work on getting to the location of the other towers and start rebuilding them."

"The Head of my order will be joining this crusade as well," said Raistlin. "We will work with our own magic to restore the lost towers with the aid of you and your brand of magic. As powerful as we may be, you and your teens are more powerful still. I have witnessed some amazing things that only call for a flick of your wands. So you all may have the power to rebuild our towers for us while we are the ones to use our magic to shape it to suit our needs."

"We will do our best to assist you in this," said Tonks. "Where we come from, I am an Auror. I am the magical law as you would call it. I will begin working on a way to help defend us better."

"Let me show you to your rooms then," said Harry leading the way. "Be careful on the steps. We are still working on repairing the broken ones. There are plenty of rooms, but like I said, we have not had the chance to clean them all yet. Dobby, Winky, and Kreacher are working around the clock to get as many set up as we can."

"Do not worry Lord Potter," said Narcissa. "We shall assist you in any way that we can. We are after all a new family and we need to work together."

Harry opened the door and showed Narcissa her room. He walked a little further down the hall and opened the door for Ted and Andy. From there, he showed Dora her room.

"This little section of the tower is for you all," he explained. "As you are all blood related I felt it was best that you all be together. As we are the only ones that can do so, I felt it was best to not put up anti apparition wards. This tower is so high and the rooms are so high from places like the dining hall and such that it is necessary to apparate within the tower. Draco will show you where the library, dining hall, training room, classroom, and other key areas are. His rooms are next to Lady Malfoy's. If you will excuse me, it is still my turn to watch the arrival room. Professor McGonagall is bringing some more muggle borns to us and we need to be ready."

Harry smiled to the group and apparated away. It was not long before Colin and Dennis Creevey arrived.

"Professor McGonagall said to tell you that we are the last coming through today," said Colin. "Tomorrow there will be a larger contingent of arrivals."

"No problem," said Harry. "If you will grab your trunks, I can have Neville show you to your rooms. You guys will be next to each other. We have plenty enough rooms for you all to have your own. Once that is done, he will show you where we sit to eat and study and Hermione will help you set up a study schedule and such. For now, I ask that you do NOT leave the tower. The forest is still very active and it can still cause harm to you. Once we are all finally here, I will lead everyone through the safety zone and we will allow you to explore Palanthas."

"Don't worry Harry," said Colin. "We will stay inside until you say it is ok. For now we would just like to go and get some sleep. I am very tired."

Hermione led the boys away as Harry used his wand to sort out more trunks that were coming through the bag. Everything that the Tonks family owned was finally through. Trunks belonging to the Heads of House were starting to come through in abundance. Luna stood beside Harry and was assisting him with the project. There was just over two weeks before the link between the two worlds finally ended.

Minerva, Severus, Filius, and Pomona were all summoned to the Head Master's office.

"Would you mind explaining to me why two more members of Gryffindor House have turned up missing?" asked Albus. "I am starting to get really upset with the fact that my students are disappearing and none of you are telling me what is going on. I have been to the Creevey residence and was told rudely to mind my own business. Where are they Minerva? I know that you are behind this. If you do not tell me where my students are, I will have no choice but to have you arrested for kidnapping."

"Really now Albus," said Minerva angrily. "You have no proof that I have done anything. If the parents of these students have decided that their children no longer have to attend this school, then it is their choice. Just because the great Albus Dumbledore is not getting all the information that he desires, he automatically threatens the rest of us. I will tell you this one last time Albus. Stop threatening me. I am not doing anything that you need to be worried about. You have no authority to fire me or have me arrested. In fact you are facing an inquiry as it is. You do not want the four of us adding to that. It is in YOUR best interest to mind your own damn business and keep that crooked nose out of ours. We are doing what is best for the children as we have done since the day we became staff members in this poor excuse for a school. Threaten me once more, and I will see to it that you are buried in Azkaban."

"Why are you having certain members of the Order of the Phoenix doing odd jobs?" he asked shrewdly. "They are my members and not yours."

"Obviously that is where you are wrong," said Severus in a huff. "You do not OWN them Albus. They are human beings with the ability to make up their own minds. We did NOT send them anywhere. They chose to do whatever it is they are doing. Nothing we have said will MAKE them do anything if they do not wish to do it. So stop blaming us because you can not get your way. We are not children nor or we your toys."

"I will get to the bottom of this," said Albus. "There is something going on that you all are not telling me and I will find out eventually what you have done. When I have proof, I will see to it that none of you are able to as much as look at a job offering again."

"GO TO HELL DUMBLEDORE," said Pomona standing up and slapping him across the face. "Consider that my resignation. I will be out of the castle by the end of the week. Good luck in finding a replacement for me."

With that the four Heads of House left the office. They knew that time was of the essence more than ever now. Pomona left and went spoke with the Abbott family. Minerva went and spoke with the Bell family. Severus went and spoke with the Greengrass family while Filius went and spoke to the Goldstein family. Remus meanwhile was talking with Oliver Wood. Kingsley was speaking with Rufus and Amelia. Augusta was already talking with the Diggory family. It was not long before the parties spoken to all agreed that it was a good idea to leave and join Harry where he was. The goblins of Gringotts worked together with the house elves of the families and everyone had their belongings packed and sent through the bag.

Harry and his group were extremely busy over the next few days. They were all working non stop to get all of the trunks that were coming through organized. Hermione had the brilliant idea to have bags ready to place the shrunken trunks in instead of stacking them up and going through the motions of having to shrink them again for transport when the owners came through. Over the next week, the people started arriving. Hannah Abbott was the first to come through. Harry handed her a bag with her belongings in it and Luna led her to her room. Oliver Wood came through next with his belongings on him. Neville showed him to his room. Amelia and Susan Bones came through next. Harry handed them their bags and Tonks showed them to their rooms. Daphne and Astoria Greengrass came through next. They were scared and didn't know what to do. Draco grabbed their bag from Harry and led them away while explaining to them what was going on. Katie Bell came through with loads of questions. Cedric escorted her away answering her questions as best as he could. Anthony Goldstein entered the room next and passed out. He was immediately revived by Goldmoon. Anthony was so stressed that it took awhile to calm him. Finally Goldmoon's soothing voice calmed him enough to be led from the room.

"I will take him to a room," said Goldmoon. "He will be fine. He is just tired from what I can tell and his stress level is high. Once he calms down a bit, he will be ok. Mishakal will aid me in this."

"Thank you Goldmoon," said Harry. "That is a load off my shoulders."

"When this is all over with," she replied. "I insist that you ALL get some much needed rest. You more than anyone else as you, have been doing much more than anyone else. You hardly ever sleep anymore and when you do it is not for very long. I am afraid that if you do not get some rest soon, you will collapse from all of the strain."

"I promise that I will rest soon," said Harry. "When we have everything that needs to come through, I will take a break and get some proper rest. Thank you for your concern, but these people are comforted when they see me first. They trust me over many others and I want them to feel welcomed."

At that moment, Dean Thomas came out of the bag and stumbled. Harry helped him stand and gave him a brief explanation as to what was going on. Hermione led him away and Harry sat wearily on a trunk in the room. He was tired. A letter came through from Minerva that stated there was only one more student coming through. He waited for a little while and finally fell asleep. Hermione and Goldmoon came back and smiled at the scene. Goldmoon tucked a blanket around Harry. When Cho Chang came through with Rufus Scrimgeour, Hermione quickly put her finer to her lips. They looked at a sleeping Harry and nodded in understanding. Hermione beckoned them out of the room and led them to their rooms.

"Harry has been working so hard that we are worried about his health," she said. "He has been in that room for a good twelve hours a day organizing everyone's possessions as they come out and greeting the new arrivals. This is the first time in days that he has slept. Even if he is not in his own bed, at least he is sleeping."

"McGonagall said to tell you all that the adults will start coming through," said Rufus. "Miss Chang is the last of the students whose parents agreed to send their children to safety. According to Griphook, we have like four days left to get everyone through. All possessions have already been sent. It is now up to the people to actually come through. Griphook will be joining us on this planet as well. He will be the last one to come through, as he wants to insure that everyone gets through safely first. Ragnok will close the connection as soon as Griphook gives the ok."

"Good," said Hermione. "Then someone can get Harry to take a few days and recover his strength before he starts to lead us again. I am very worried about him."

"Do not worry Hermione," said Cho. "We will get him to sleep soon. We just have to use his weakness to ensure that he does."

"What weakness is that?" asked Hermione curiously.

"From what I can tell, he can't seem to say no to Cedric," she giggled. "We can pull out that card and trump him with it."

"Very clever," said Hermione. "I had not thought of that. Harry is so determined to be the one to greet everyone that we had not thought of getting Cedric to convince him to leave the room for more than an hour or so at a time."

Over the next few days Amos and Mary Diggory came through. Cedric rushed to his parents and showed them where they were staying. Bill and Charlie Weasley also came through. Harry raised an eyebrow at them, but greeted them warmly all the same. Narcissa led them to their rooms. Neville gave a shout of joy when his grandmother came through. He chatted with her non stop about the ways of life on Krynn while he led her to her room to get some rest. It was not long after that when Kingsley and Remus came through. Both men were greeted by Tonks and led away.

"That leaves the four Heads of House and Griphook," said Harry wearily looking at his list. "Their belongings have been shrunk and put in a bag."

"Harry you really need to go and get some rest," said Hermione. "Even a cleric of Paladine will succumb to fatigue. I will personally see to the professors. Cedric will be pleased if you go and get a good night's sleep. We are worried about your health."

"Who will greet the professors?" he asked. "Someone has to be here to lead the professors to their quarters."

"Andromeda will do it," said Cedric draping an arm around Harry's waist and leading him from the room. "Between her and Hermione, they will keep an eye on things. Come on love. Let's get you to bed. You are about to fall over from exhaustion."

Harry smiled at Cedric as he was apparated to his bedroom. Cedric laid Harry on the bed and massaged his shoulder muscles asking Mishakal for help. Soon Harry draped over and was snoring softly. Cedric covered him with a blanket, kissed him on the cheek and left the room. Harry was finally sleeping in his bed.

Back at Hogwarts, there was a huge argument brewing.

"Where in the hell do you all think you are going?" asked Dumbledore furiously. "I can not have all of my staff just up and leave."

"Who are you to tell us what to do Dumbledore?" asked Poppy furiously. "I have given years of my life to this school. You have done nothing but use the staff and students as pawns in your stupid war. I have had enough of this. I am leaving. You can fight your stupid war. I want no part of it. I QUIT!"

"She speaks for me as well," snapped Minerva. "I have given well over thirty five years to this place only to watch as it is nothing more than a game for you. You are not worthy to be the Head Master here. If you want the Dark Lord destroyed so badly, then you can just do it yourself. I am out of here. I will be joining my ward in safety. So long Albus."

"You did this to yourself Head Master," said Filius as he looked at Dumbledore. "Had you just backed off and went after the Dark Lord yourself, all of this could have been avoided. You are the reason that so many students and Order members are leaving. You have now lost the support of your staff and you are still only thinking of yourself and how you can salvage this. You are a pathetic excuse for a wizard. The ministry should just strip you of your magic and feed you to the wolves. So long Albus. You will not be seeing me again."

"You owe me Severus," said Albus. "You owe me for keeping you out of jail. Had it not been for me then you would be in Azkaban right now. How dare you do this to me?"

"I OWE YOU?" thundered Severus. "I have fulfilled my end of the bargain you meddlesome old fool. Harry is now my ward and I intend on keeping him away from the likes of you. You will never see me again, nor will the Dark Lord. I will give you this one last bit of information. The Dark Lord knows that Harry Potter is no longer a figure in the war. That means he is coming after YOU with everything he has. I hope that you can handle it."

With that, Severus followed his companions out of the office and then out of the castle. The five of them got beyond the wards on the castle and as one, they apparated to the bank. Once there, they entered and went through the portal to their new lives.

"I will be the last one to pass through the bag," said Griphook to Ragnok. "No one is to follow me through. The link between the worlds will end in about twelve hours. If you have to, hide this bag so that no one else knows about it. Fare well my brother. May your vaults never empty?"

"May your gold always flow," responded Ragnok. "I will keep this safe and no one will follow you through. You can count on me brother. I wish a safe journey to you and our wizarding friends."

With that Griphook stepped into the bag and vanished from sight. Ragnok opened a secret panel in the office and shoved the bag in it. With a well placed spell, he sealed the compartment permanently. Even if someone did find out about the bag, they would not be able to get around the wards and spells designed to keep it safe.

A week later, all of the people from Britain were sitting in the dining hall.

"I expect that the gods of Krynn will be joining us shortly," said Harry. "Raistlin can tell you all about the different deities of this planet and what they look for in a person. From there, when the gods do decide to join us, you can give your allegiance to the one that most suits your own feelings."

Raistlin stood up and explained to the group about the different deities and their attributes. When the gods showed up a few hours later, it was a vast selection that was placed forward. Amelia, Kingsley, Rufus, and Tonks decided to follow Kiri- Jolith. Minerva, Susan, and Dean decided to take the mantle of Lunitari and donned the red robes of a neutral wizard. Poppy and Narcissa received their medallion from Mishakal the healing goddess. Andromeda, Katie, and Oliver took the white robes of Solinari while Anthony Goldstein and Astoria Greengrass took the black robes of Nuitari. Daphne shocked everyone by becoming a cleric of Zeboim the sea goddess. Ted Tonks, Remus, Amos Diggory, and Charlie Weasley took the mantle of Habbakuk. Severus and Augusta became clerics of Sirrion. Filius, like Hermione became a cleric of Gilean. Pomona joined Neville in the ranks of clerics of Chislev. Colin and Dennis became monks of Majere while Bill, Mary Diggory, and Griphook joined those that would walk under the goddess Shinare. Cho Chang joined Luna wearing the trappings of Zivilyn. Timid Hannah decided to use her gift of singing and became a monk of Branchala.

"Give us some time to rest and recuperate and we shall start to work on restoring the two towers," said Harry. "We have not forgotten our promise, but we need some times to get adjusted and such before we work on them. I know that the rest of you deities that have been chosen by one of us, have things that you wish for us to do, but we can only do one thing at a time. We will work on other projects as we can, but we also need to finish honing our skills. Now that our professors are here, we can continue our education as well as, work on this planet to become the citizens that you would like us to be."

"Take your time," said Paladine. "We have all of eternity. Times are changing on Krynn. War is brewing and we will need your help in stopping it. We will need your great skills to defeat the darkness that quickly approaches. The dragons of Krynn have been awakened at they are not happy. My dragons will assist you in any way that they can. As my cleric, you are the only one walking on the planet that can call upon my aid. Your guides here on Krynn know what they need to do. Time will tell if you can assist them or not."

"I shall give Raistlin Majere the knowledge needed to create a portal from this tower to the ruins of Daltigoth," said Lunitari. "From there, it will be easier for you all to pass back and forth between the two locations. When you have completed that, we will arrange for you to know the location of the ruins of Losacrum."

"We will send our own representatives to assist you in this," said Nuitari. "Never fear that you will have to do it alone. Those of your group that have taken my mantle will be protected by me."

"Just remember one important thing," said Solinari. "Though you are all wearing the symbol of your chosen god, we are all over the planet doing what we can to keep the balance."

"This means that while we hear your prayers and such we can only do so much," said Gilean. "Much of what happens on this planet is done so by the choices of man. Good, neutrality, and evil all share this home world. We are just guides. The ultimate decision is yours."

"While none of you have chosen my mantle," said Takhisis. "I agree with my brother. Every man, elf, ogre, goblin, and dragon chooses their own path. We are just their guide."

With that final thought, the gods left the tower. Everyone sitting at the table just stared at each other in shock.

"If everyone doesn't want to live in this tower, we can always buy some of the buildings closest to the tower," said Harry. "I do not think the Lord of Palanthas will object as none of them can close their minds to the affects of the Shoikan Grove. Its trees cause your worst nightmares to haunt you. According to Raistlin, you can go insane and die in the grove. This is the main reason why I wanted everyone to stay inside for now. There is a path that Nuitari set up that we take to town and such. We will get you all accustomed to where it is and how to walk it."

"The four of us will get class schedules set up for all of you," said Minerva. "We want you all to learn as much as possible. Now that we have a basic understanding of this tower, we can get you all in some form of class. As there are so few of you, we can keep all of you together in class. If you are not interested in learning a particular subject, you can help out around the tower until the time for a class that you want to participate in occurs."

"Who is going to be the leader here?" asked Remus. "We have to establish some sort of chain of command."

"The way I see it," said Tanis. "Harry is the one with the most pull. He is the only cleric of Paladine. He is also the one that makes most of the decisions. He is a natural leader from what I can see, and his heart is very pure. While you others may be older and more knowledgeable, I think that in the hierarchy of things, Harry should be the ultimate leader of this group."

"I don't know if I can lead all of you," said Harry. "I am only sixteen. Madam Longbottom and Professor McGonagall are older than everyone else. Maybe they should be leader."

"I will lead the schooling portion in all of this," said Minerva. "It just so happens that I agree with Tanis. You are a natural leader. For our safety, you should be the one to lead us. We will of course advise you and give you our opinions and such, but even without all of that, on our own world you are higher in status than we are. As Head of House of two prominent families, it is only right that you have the higher position here."

"You can do this Harry," said Hermione. "We all have faith in you. We will not let you do this alone. You are our best hope to see us through this."

"I am really going to be dependant on all of you to see us through this," said Harry. "If there is a war coming, then we will need to set up a defense of this city. We can do it if we act together. We have healers and mages and everything else you can think of. We have created a greenhouse so that we can grow things we are familiar with on our own planet. Neville has already started working with the plants and has had much success with getting them to root and take to the new environment. I am sure that people like Tanis can find us alternatives to those plants that we no longer have access to."

"Do you see what we mean?" asked Severus with a smile. "You are already going through the motions of being a leader. You have a natural instinct which guides you through all of this. You can do it Harry. We will help you. The first thing we need to do is to visit this bazaar so that we can get potion ingredients and such. I have seen the potions lab and I am very impressed with what you have set up."

"Very well," said Harry rubbing his temples. "We will go out tomorrow and I will show everyone around. Sturm if you and Tanis would be so kind as to show me to the Lord of this city, we might be able to get some of the buildings bought. The more food stuffs we can grow ourselves, the more money we can save. I have the wizards from the other tower coming here in the next few days so that we can start bartering for the stuff in this tower that we can not use. Raistlin, would you be kind enough as to tend to that? You know more about this stuff than we do. Flint can help you as he is a dwarf and from what I saw he is good at bartering for good prices and such."

"Very well Harry," said Raistlin. "We will get it done and we will make sure that we get good prices for what we have."

"Harry," said Hermione. "We have been able to set up an office for you. We were able to fix a lot of the broken stuff in it. Things like curtains and stuff will need to be replaced, but Dobby assured me that he and Winky will get right on making new ones for the windows. New rugs and things will also be bought at the bazaar. It will be a good thing to have a base of operations as it were."

"I am too tired to think right now," said Harry. "I am going to bed. Professor McGonagall, I am sure you will have a class schedule set up for us. I am going to be interested in DADA, Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, and Herbology. I can even assist in teaching DADA as I have studied all of our books clean through Auror training and understand most of it. I have even managed to cast most of the spells in the books and such. I don't think we need to worry about learning about things like kappas and such as they do no exist on this planet. Maybe Raistlin and Hermione can get us some books on the local species of plants and animals on this planet."

"I would love to lead an expedition to the library of Palanthas," said Hermione. "You go and get some rest. We will get the required books. I am sure that Astinus will let us just make copies of the books we need. A Gemino spell will create a copy. I will get it done."

"Come on Harry," said Cedric. "I am sure that I can help get your back to relax so that you can sleep. Before long, you will be up and running."

With that, the groups all decided what they wanted to do and split off. Life in the tower would come into some kind of organized functioning unit soon. Everyone was determined to play their parts.

AUTHOR'S NOTE – I will stop this chapter here as I want to start with some other stuff in the next chapter. Now that everyone is on Krynn, I can start getting everything organized so that they can stop the on coming darkness and work on restoring the ruined towers.
