~~I still don't own any of the characters from the shows~~~
Willow glanced over at where Dawn was curled up on the couch. "I suppose you think that the girl's plan for dealing with the death eaters is extreme?"
Dawn shook her head, "I don't know, I'm more worried about the girls spending so much time in one of Rose's worlds. I want to have faith in my daughter but her ability to create gateways into fantasy worlds is still rather new. What if the construct breaks while they are in there? What if they get too attached to one of the fictional characters in there and their ideas about how to bring them into the real world don't work? Or worse what if they do?"
"You're worried about the moral issues aren't you?"
"Aren't you? Seriously Willow you should be, hell we all should be. They are basically planning to toss people into a fictional world in order to have enough balance of life force in order to pull fictional characters out in their place. I know we aren't going to toss innocent people in but where is the line?"
"Oh I don't know maybe killers and genocidal maniacs?"
Dawn sighed, "If you really felt alright about this you would have talked about it with Dumbledore rather than send him along to Middle Earth as fast as you could."
"Fine you want me to tell Gabrielle to scrap the plan? That she should just turn all of the death eaters she wants to capture over to a government so filled with corruption that they are likely to be able to buy their way out of prison?"
"Yes, no, I don't know. I just don't like the idea of our girls running around without supervision in a world that is extremely dangerous. Have you looked at the world they want to go to?"
Willow snickered, "I've looked at it, it has a number of dangers but honestly you and I both know they are in little permanent physical danger in one of Rose's worlds. The most that could happen would be emotional scaring and that can happen anywhere."
Dawn sighed, "Fine, I still think it's a bad idea but they do need the combat experience. Do you think Hermione will go for it?"
"As long as we can downplay the danger and emphasize the learning potential I think we can bring her around. Besides, if everything works out they might just bring back something to turn the tide against Voldemort."
"I guess, besides it's not like we can stop them from exploring the limits of Rose's new powers. I'll have Lexie tell them operation cabinet trap is a go."
Draco Malfoy was not happy about the plan he found himself a part of, he was barely able to keep from jumping at any little sound as he lead a large group of death eaters through the vanishing cabinet in his manor. He worked on keeping his eyes on the floor, all it would take would be one of the death eaters using magic to search his memories in any dept and the plan would go to hell. Luckily or unluckily none of the top death eaters were a part of the group. On the upside it lessoned the possible number that had the skills needed to get past the wards Gabrielle had placed on his mind, on the downside they weren't really removing any of the really important people from the ranks. He wanted to laugh as he walked out of the cabinet and into a large warehouse filled with dusty tomes and broken bits. He had to hand it to Gabrielle the illusion was impressive, it looked vaguely like the room of lost things in the chamber of secrets. He just hoped it would fool the death eaters long enough. He set off at a slow pace toward the door as the rest of the death eaters filtered into the room behind him. He wasn't sure if he wanted things to go well for the death eaters or badly. However, he had long since given up caring what happened to them, mostly because they had caused his family to fall from grace and they supported a half blood pretender. The fact that a few short months ago he had been eager to join filled him with disgust not because they were evil but because he now understood just how sloppy they were. He hadn't been informed of more of the plan than his part in getting the death eaters here. He half figured the rest of the plan was probably some type of hair brained noble Gryffindor thing where they jumped out and asked the people to surrender. He wasn't really expecting underhanded trickery, therefore he was faintly impressed when the whole room exploded in light at least for the second he was still conscious.
Gabrielle grinned as she finished stripping the various death eaters down to their undergarments. She glanced up when she finished tossing the last of the death eater's clothes in a large pile. "So now what?"
Lexie chuckled, "We should probably hogtie them to make sure they don't get away just incase they wake up before we can get them to Rose's new world."
Rose smiled, "Not a bad catch for an hour's worth of work. Depending on how many Gringotts' keys you find we might have netted ourselves a good chunk of gold."
Lexie couldn't keep her smile off her face as she shook her head, "How did you trouble makers get into Gryffindor?"
Gabrielle shrugged, "I was too honest for Slytherin."
Rose chuckled, "Plus we're brave."
Leo ignored the games as continued his silent watch over the prisoners just incase one of them woke early.
Lillian rolled her eyes, "Mental more like, besides I'm not a Gryffindor I'm in Ravenclaw."
Lenora snickered at her twin, "Just means you weren't smart enough to avoid being stuck in the stuffy house."
Gabrielle tried to tune out Lillian's mutters as she started working on hogtieing the various death eaters. "On the up side we caught three dozen death eaters which means we can probably each take several people out with us when we leave."
Lexie frowned, "Any idea of an exact number?"
Rose shook her head, "Not really, it's mostly theory craft right now. So I suggest we limit the amount of people or creatures we steal from there until we know the exact ratio as I wouldn't want to get stuck in there."
"Just bring your Auntie Lexie a souvenir."
Gabrielle nodded, "If we can find something I think you'll like, I'll be happy to bring it back."
"I still can't believe the parent's are going to let you go on this adventure alone."
"You're just ticked that you don't get to go."
"Only a little bit, but I have a lot of other things to keep me busy while you run around having fun, such as looting these Death Eater's accounts."
Gabrielle chuckled, "Better you and Nymphadora than us for that. Don't worry if everything goes according to plan, we should only be gone a few hours or days at most."
Rose smiled up at Lexie, "You can come the next time."
"Alright fine, let's get the prisoners tossed into the other world then I can get to having lunch and start sorting the loot." Lexie shook her head as she ran her gaze over the collection of Death Eaters sprawled around the room.
Rose smiled as she pulled a fist sized green crystal globe out of a pocket in her robes. "This is the focal point for the fantasy world. Once we open the portal and go through we'll be trusting you to put it some place safe Lexie."
"It will be as safe as I can make it."
Leo shook his head, "Wait, you never told us what we were going to go once we got to this new world."
Rose grinned, "Well I took a quick trip into the world yesterday in order to set some things up."
Leo frowned, "Does mom know?"
"That I've been to that particular world? Yeah, that I took a trip there yesterday? No." She looked at Lexie, "No telling on us either, otherwise I'm not getting you a souvenir."
Lexie shrugged, "I don't see a reason to worry your folks, besides they would just yell at me for not watching you more carefully."
"Anyways, I took all of the parents there for a short trip before Christmas so they could run all sorts of magical tests on the world created by my new power. Before you jump down my throat about why I didn't take you first, I wanted the parents onboard first."
Leo continued glaring, "What about yesterday?"
"I was just acquiring some supplies, it's nothing you have to worry about. Besides the twins and I will be dealing with the prisoners which leaves you and Gabrielle to head out monster hunting. Don't worry you get the better deal, after we deal with the prisoners we are rushing off to the new world's magic school."
Gabrielle chuckled, "Come on, just think of the monsters we will be able to catch, it's going to be so much fun."
He rolled his eyes, "Fine."
Rose smiled as she carefully used the stone as a focal point to call forth a portal into the new pocket world.
By the time the twins, the thirty six prisoners and one still unconscious though unbound Malfoy were unceremoniously tossed through the portal Gabrielle was more than ready to jump through herself. "Just let me reset it so you end up in the right place. The room is paid for the day and you will find your supplies there as well. There are also a few more specific directions as well. Enjoy your stay."
Leo sighed, "I have a bad feeling about stepping into a world created by my evil sister."
Gabrielle mock frowned, "Wait, I thought I was your evil sister." She grinned as she pushed him through the portal. "Just make sure you come find us at some point."
Rose grinned, "Of course, I can't let you too have all of the fun."
Gabrielle jumped through the portal.
Rose grinned as she reset the portal, "They are off on the adventure of a life time."
Lexie chuckled, "Just stay safe, I don't want to have to come rescue you."
Rose chuckled, "No worries, I unlike the rest can always just leave if things go wrong." She stepped through the portal still chuckling softly to herself.
Lexie reached down and carefully picked up the green crystal as Willow flipped the hood of her, really Harry's, invisibility cloak off. "I still can't believe I'm letting them just run off on their own adventures. I must be the worst parent ever."
"Kids grow up, it's a fact, nothing you can do about it."
"I know a spell or two…"
"Using dark magic to keep them as children, now that would win you the worst parent award right quick."
"Spoilsport."
Lexie stuck her tongue out at Willow.
"Promises, promises."
