Harry Potter and the Portal Spell
Chapter One
Kiron, lord of the dragon jousters for the land of Altia, was irritated. He and his wife, Aket-ten, had just had yet another fight. Kiron wanted to start a family, but Aket-ten refused to even think about having children yet. To calm himself down before he did or said something he'd later regret; Kiron took himself off to visit with his beloved dragon, Avatre. When he reached her pen, he found his dragon boy just leaving with an empty barrow and Avatre settling down after her evening meal. He walked over and sat down at the edge of her sand wallow. Avatre lay her head down in front of him and Kiron reached out to scratch behind her head.
"I just don't know what to do, Avatre. I love Aket-ten, I really do, but she just makes me so angry sometimes." Kiron confessed. Avatre snorted and nudged at his leg for more scratches. Kiron obliged her.
Kiron opened his mouth, but before he could say another word, a sudden, overwhelmingly bright light drew both of their attention to a corner of the pen where a glowing doorway made of red light stood. Kiron scrambled to his feet just as seven teenagers tumbled out and fell unconscious to the ground.
"Avatre! Guard them and don't let them leave, I'll be right back!" Kiron said as he ran out to find others to help him with this unusual event. As he ran through the compound, he found his friends and fellow jousters; Orest, Oset-re, Menet-ka, Gan, Kalen, Huras, and Pe-atep. They were standing around talking when Kiron hurried up to them.
"All of you! Follow me back to Avatre's pen! We've got some intruders to deal with." With that, all of them took off behind Kiron and ran to where he led them.
Meanwhile, the seven teens were just waking up with pained groans. The first to sit up was Harry. He took a look around and the first thing he saw was a rather large, red and gold creature sniffing at him in curiosity. With a strangled yell, he jumped up and startled the beast into rearing up in surprise. Harry turned to the others.
"Guys, get up! We've got a serious problem here! That bloody portal spell has seriously backfired!" He yelled. Hermione looked up at that.
"I just knew this was going to happen! I knew I shouldn't have listened to you!" she shrieked. She pulled out her wand and started hitting Harry and Draco with stinging hexes. Harry tried and failed to dodge, while Draco jumped up with a yell.
"Stop, Hermione, this won't get us anywhere. We need to figure out where we are and what went wrong. When we get back home, you can hex them as much as you like." said Ginny. Hermione sighed, but put away her wand.
Before anyone even had a chance to say anything else, they were each seized and had their hands tied behind their back before being marched out of the red and gold creature's pen. Their belongings were carried by an eighth man. A few of them struggled against their captors but stopped when Harry spoke up. "I don't think trying to fight will do any good, guys. We don't know where we are. Until we do, we need to take note of any landmarks we see in order to figure out where we are. That way, we can get back easier."
Up ahead of them, they saw what could only be described as an enormous palace looming closer and closer. This is obviously where they were being taken.
