Hermione looked up as her rather cute roommate walked in and shut the door. "How was class?"

Egwene al'Vere walked over to the table and set her bag down a little more forcefully than required. "I think my teacher is evil."

Hermione raised an eyebrow at the nine year old girl. "Why is your teacher evil?"

Egwene pouted. "Because we're not allowed to wear clothes for dream class."

Anna snickered as she looked over at Egwene from her bed. "Clothes are overrated."

Egwene stuck her tongue out at Anna. "Says the girl that never wears them if she can help it."

"I don't get cold thus I don't really see a point in wearing clothes."

Egwene still wasn't sure what to make of her roommates. They were taking wand magic while she was taking classes on dreaming. Technically she could have avoided having a dorm via portkeying back and forth but the school liked to encourage people to have friends and the easiest way to do that was to give people roomates. That and her dreaming classes often had strange hours so it was nice to have a place to crash while on campus. "She likes teasing people."

Hermione said, "There's actually a good reason for that."

"Why?"

"She's trying to increase your ability to ignore distractions. The more composure you have the better you'll do when you're dream walking or at least that's the theory."

Beth snickered as she walked out of the bathroom naked with a towel around her head. "The other option is that she's just a pervert that likes seeing everyone naked."

Egwene shook her head. "You're both twisted in the head."

Anna snickered. "Does that mean you don't want me to massage your shoulders?"

"Don't be mean. We were on the hard rope mats today."

"In that case, off with the dress," Anna said playfully.

Egwene rolled her eyes as she slipped her dress over her head. She adjusted her shift then laid down on her bed. "Thank you."

Anna smiled as she sat down next to Egwene and started working on her shoulders. "So how did class go?"

"Better than yesterday, everyone actually made it into the dream world without help. It's getting easier."

Beth looked over at Hermione. "Can I talk you into a massage?"

Hermione down at her charms homework then over at the clock. "For a bit but then I've got to get back to work."

"The assignment isn't due until tomorrow, you have a free period to work on it."

"That's when I was going to do transfiguration and arithmancy."

Beth pouted, "Those aren't due until the day after tomorrow."

Hermione gestured toward her bed. "Fine, I'll give you a massage."

Beth smiled as she walked over and flopped down on her bed.

Egwene closed her eyes and enjoyed her massage. "You're lucky that you can use wand magic."

Hermione set her pen down then stood up and walked over to Beth and Anna's bed and sat down so that she could give her naked friend a massage.

Anna ran her fingers lightly down Egwene's back before she started working on another knot. "You have channeling potential."

"So they tell me. Do you think I'll get to be a hero?" Egwene asked hopefully.

Anna smiled as she glanced down at Egwene's cute behind as she worked on getting all of the knots out. "I think you'll be a great hero that gets to ride into battle and destroy trollocs and worse with storms of fire."

Egwene shivered as she thought about trollocs. "Better than riding a broom, I mean who came up with that?"

"Crazy people."

Hermione said, "Says the girl that can naturally fly."

"You learned the flight skill…" Anna blinked as she realized that Channeling was magic. "Do you think we could teach Egwene to fly? I mean she has magic of a sort and the flight skill isn't exactly standard wand magic."

Hermione paused for a couple of seconds. "I don't think anyone has actually tried to teach flight to channelers before considering we forgot to leave the book and hadn't taught the original wand users. I bet we could get extra credit if we manage to pull it off."

Egwene asked eagerly, "I could fly?"

Anna giggled as she reached down and ran the tips of her fingers down Egwene's sides. "Maybe, it's worth testing."

"No tickling." Egwene giggled.

Hermione smiled as she thought of Harry. She was going to have to make a journal of memories for him.

Sirius smirked as he shot another pair of channelers connected by a bracelet and leash with his silenced paintball portkey gun which caused them to vanish a second after they were hit. It was amazing how many people didn't look up. Not that it would have helped them as he was wearing a fancloth ninja outfit with disillusioned glasses and gun. It felt a bit like cheating as it was an even better setup than James's invisibility cloak. The fact that he could fly took away the only other flaw in a plan that called for wandering around a city while invisible.

While kidnapping all of the Seanchan channelers for reeducation was better than killing them, he knew that some of them would probably rather be dead than face the fact that they weren't at the top of the food chain. Technically speaking, he wasn't either as the channelers could kill him fairly easily but surprise, stealth and flight helped even the odds quite a bit. Not to mention being able to shoot people at a decent range.

At least he had the easy job, all he had to do was fly over the streets shooting anyone with magic potential. Remus had the worst job in that he was sneaking between different walled towns with Nymphadora and a couple of wolf girls in Shara. The upside of raiding the villages was that they were an excellent source of channelers. The downside was that the men weren't all that educated. Still, capturing them now would give them eight years and change to fix that before things really got rolling.

He smiled as he shot a merchant that had magic potential before flying on to find more people with magic to kidnap. The fact that this was happening all around the Seanchan empire both in this world and several other worlds meant that they were going to have a decent influx of channelers. He wasn't sure how long it would take to empty the Seanchan empire of channelers but it was worth it according to Anna as the Seanchan had been large pains in the ass in the books.

Egwene burst into the dorm leaving the door open, "Guess what!"

Anna looked up and noticed that Egwene wasn't wearing clothes but was wearing a rune carved silver training bracelet. She remembered a time when Egwene would have been annoyed about the nudity but after several years of dream walking classes and shared gender hot springs she was taking the nudity thing better than some of the other recruits. "Judging by the fact that you're naked and have your training bracelet, I'm guessing you're finally learning to channel?"

"Yes! It's about time." Egwene rushed over and pulled Anna in for a hug.

Anna reached down, cupped Egwene's behind with both hands and lifted her up for a kiss. "I knew you'd get there."

Egwene wrapped her legs around Anna's waist. "Where are Beth and Hermione?"

"We're supposed to get a new roommate, they're picking her up." Anna left one hand supporting Egwene and moved her other hand up to play with Egwene's breasts. "How do you want to celebrate?"

"Cake and ice cream?" Egwene asked.

Anna giggled. "Let's raid Hermione's stash of ice cream."

"Won't you get in trouble?" Egwene grabbed Anna's shoulders and unwrapped her legs around her friend.

"Yes, yes she will, she might even get spanked," Hermione replied from the open doorway.

Anna turned to look at Beth, Hermione and the new girl with a grin. The new girl was an exceedingly beautiful and red faced twelve or thirteen year old girl with blue eyes like sapphires and red-gold curly hair. She was also naked other than a training bracelet. "You brought presents, redheads unite."

The girl's blush deepened. "Greetings."

Hermione said, "The crazy redhead is Anna Lily Potter and the brown haired girl is Egwene al'Vere." She gestured toward the new girl.. "This is Elayne Trakand, she used to be a princess."

Egwene asked, "Used to be?"

"She's from an alternate world, her father sold her to the recruiters for a bag of gold then told everyone that she died from a fall."

Elayne scowled as she thought about her father. "I'm going to train, then I'm going to go back and kill him."

Egwene said, "He doesn't sound very nice at all. What happened to our version?"

Hermione said, "Hunting accident that was probably arranged when he was overheard talking about trying to become king of Andor."

"I have a feeling that would have ended up a lot better," Elayne replied.

"Let's break out the ice cream and cake to celebrate Egwene channeling for the first time and getting a new roommate." Hermione headed toward the enchanted icebox to grab the ice cream.

Beth walked over to Egwene, leaned down and kissed her on the lips. "Congratulations."

Egwene smiled as she hugged the taller girl. "Thanks."

Elayne frowned slightly as she looked around and noticed that there were only four beds. "Where am I sleeping?"

Anna gestured at one of the only two beds that actually looked made up. "That one, I sleep with my sister."

Elayne blinked as she realized that her room assignment had cost the other girl her bed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

Anna shook her head. "It's fine, I've slept with her as long as I can remember."

Beth said, "Thankfully she doesn't hog the covers too much."

Hermione walked back over with bowls of ice chocolate ice cream for everyone floating in front of her. "To new friends and new beginnings."

Anna giggled as she accepted her bowl. "To hot naked roommates."

Egwene laughed as she accepted her bowl of ice cream. "Don't worry, you'll get used to them, probably."

Elayne frowned at the brown stuff in the bowl. "Shaved ice?"

"Iced cream, it's rather tasty. just try it."

Harry looked down at the Eye of the World book he'd just jumped out of. "Right, jump back in and grab everyone… fuck that." He reached into his backpack and pulled out the Memory of Light which was the last book in the Wheel of Time series that he'd picked up in Tony's world. "Okay, it's not written yet so I probably can't take anything too impressive out of it." He opened the book and scanned the last couple of pages then scanned backwards until he saw a section dealing with Egwene while she was still alive fighting with an evil dreadlord. "Okay that could work."

Harry looked through his various comic books then smiled as he saw Babs McBusty Angel of Death for Hire. He reached into the twisted hentai comic about a rather busty detective with a chain smoking sarcastic spell casting wizard partner that had forged the broken shards of Excalibur into a gun that had unlimited holy ammo and could kill damn near anything. The plot was paper thin and the character was a broken neurotic sex fiend that killed vampires and monsters on a daily basis but the gun looked really cool. He reached into the magazine and pulled out the wizard's grimoire. "Okay, now for a gun that should kill Riddle." He reached back into the magazine and grabbed the gun. He wasn't at all surprised when the magazine charred as he finished pulling the gun out.

"Have gun, will travel. Hmm, I could jump into the last battle and shoot… okay screw being dramatic." Harry put his gun in his backpack as he scanned back through the pages until he found a scene where Egwene was sleeping. "Okay, let's see, that will work." Harry jumped into the book and quietly pulled out a memory copying device. He smiled at the sleeping lady as he reached down and carefully wrapped her hand around the crystal goblet. 'You're a bit short and worn around the edges but you're pretty.' He activated the device to copy all of her memories, grabbed the large crystal marble then copied her dreaming knowledge.

He'd just finished putting the memory collection device back in his backpack when Egwene Sedai woke up and glared at him. "Ah, hello?"

"What are you doing in here?"

Harry asked hopefully, "Would you believe that I'm merely a figment of your imagination?"

"No." Egwene wrapped the man man in threads of air.

"Ah, well it was worth a try. Okay, I'm a time traveling wizard from another world and I need your help to save the world."

"Time traveling what?"

"Wizard, you know magic user," Harry replied with amusement.

Egwene rubbed at her temples that were once again throbbing. She knew this was somehow Rand's fault. "I don't have time for this."

"Actually you do, I just need to talk to lady Elayne and then I'll be out of your hair. Please, it's really important."

Egwene tossed a shield at the kid and frowned when it found nothing to connect to. "Fine, I'll have someone take you to the Lady Elayne, she can deal with you."

Harry piped up cheerfully, "Thank you." He didn't mind being thought of as insane if it helped get him what he wanted. He gave the cute novice dressed in white a smile as she stepped into Egwene's tent.

Egwene said, "Take the boy to Elayne Sedai."

"Of course Mother," the girl replied before grabbing Harry's arm and 'hauling' him out of the tent.

He had to work to keep his cheerful expression as he was led through the gathered tents filled with wounded soldiers and Aes Sedai walking around like they owned the place. 'Hopefully, this never has to happen on the other world.' He was relieved when he got to the tent with a rather pregnant lady that was rather pretty if a bit grumpy looking.

The novice said, "The Amyrlin said to take the child to you."

Elayne raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"She didn't say."

"You're dismissed."

Elayne asked, "Did you have a message?"

"Yep, I'm trying to save the world and you can help."

"Look, I'm already doing what I can."

Harry stepped into the room. "Right, what I mean is-" He cast a sleeping charm on her then levitated her before she hit the ground. "You could use a nap." He floated her over to her cot then pulled out his memory copying device. "So many memories, so little time." He copied her memories then made a separate copy of her knowledge of channeling and her work with ter'angreal. He wasn't sure how useful it would be but some of it might be of use to the other Elyane. He put the memory marbles away then jumped out of the book.

He flipped back to the epilogue then jumped into Matrim Cauthon's tent. He grunted as he got hit in the shoulder with a throwing knife almost before he got his bearings. "Fuck! Watch it, I'm a friend!"

Mat readied another knife. "The next one isn't a warning shot. Who the hell are you?"

Harry rubbed at the spot that the knife had hit, thankful for his Red ring from Zelda. "I'm a traveler from another world."

"What do you want? We just finished the Last Battle, I've had enough of battle."

"You're the Lord of Battle, that's not going to happen for a very long time."

"I have a knife." Mat normally wouldn't hurt a kid but he suspected the kid was anything but normal.

"Look, I'm from a different world. The Matrim Cauthon in that one is just starting his journey."

"And you want me to what? Come help him?"

"Something like that."

Matrim glared at the kid. "I have a girl and a life, did I mention a girl?"

"Yeah, you mentioned that but honestly I just need a copy of your memories of battle and such things to give to the other you. Maybe that way, we'll be able to avoid a lot of the crap that happened the last time around."

Matrim asked, "That's it? How much is it going to hurt? What will it cost me?"

"Nothing, that's the point, the price the foxes and the snakes demanded was brutal and cruel. I'd like to cheat them out of that deal in the other world."

Matrim smiled as he thought about sticking it to the foxes and snakes. "In that case, what do you need."

Harry pulled out the memory device and held it out. "All you have to do is grab the goblet like device and think of battle and all your memories and then I'll give them to the other you on Winternight."

Matrim pulled out a coin. "Heads, I do it tails I don't." He flipped the coin five times in a row scowling slightly as the coin came up heads each time. "Fine." He accepted the goblet and concentrated on his memories of his lives and battle.

Harry smiled as he accepted the fist sized memory baseball like sphere and the goblet. "Right, Lord of Battle and all that."

"Now what?" Matrim asked.

"Now I track down Perrin and get his memories." Harry put the memory sphere in his pocket then jumped out of the book.

He flipped a couple of pages then jumped back into the book and into Lord Perrin and Lady Faile's bed chamber. He quickly stunned Perrin and Faile then Perrin three more times when the first proved ineffective. "I need to practice that a bit more if it takes four to take someone down." He walked over and put the goblet in Perrin's hand and used it to copy all of his memories of crafting, fighting, dreaming, wolf lore and most of his adventures without cursing him with loving a woman that didn't know him. He wasn't sure how fate would twist things this time around but there was a decent chance that the other Perrin would never meet the woman this Perrin had married.

He put the memory crystal and device away then grabbed Perrin's hammer. "Sorry but you're not going to need this anymore." He jumped out with the hammer and wasn't surprised when the book half charred. "I guess it could be worse."

He put the book and hammer into his backpack then flipped the Eye of the World to the next chapter. He reached out with his magic and jumped back into the book.

Tam stopped the cart and his horse Bella when he saw a boy appear out of thin air. "We've been expecting you."

Rand took his hand away from his quiver as he realized that the stranger was just a boy.

Harry pulled his hood up against the wind as he looked at the rather tall red haired man with a sword on his hip and a bow in his hand then over at Tam al'Thor,. "Are you heading to Emond's Field?"

Tam al'Thor nodded. "We are."

"I'm Harry, do mind if I walk with you?"

"Of course not Lord Potter, your mother said you'd be showing up somewhere on the path."

"I'd wondered, thank you for not shooting me," Harry replied with amusement as he turned and started walking in the direction the two men were facing.

"I'm just a bit jumpy," Rand defended himself.

"Strange riders?" Harry curiously.

Tam shook his head. "No, the guard and a group of trainees found a group of trollocs and a fade trying to come out of the waygate a couple of days ago."

Harry stopped and turned to look at Tam. "Was anyone hurt?"

Rand shivered slightly as he remembered the charge of trollocs. "Just one of the Coplin boys, he stubbed his toe running away as the guard lit the shadowspawn on fire and the rest of us filled them with arrows. I took out four and a half with my bow."

Harry started walking again. "Four and a half?"

"My last arrow hit one in the throat but he caught fire before the arrow killed him."

Tam said, "I'm just glad the guard chose that spot to set up the training trip, otherwise things would have been far worse."

"That's good fortune." Harry was fairly sure it was nothing of the sort but didn't want to sound crazy. "I'm looking forward to meeting the guard." He fell silent as they walked the last quarter of a mile to the village. He frowned slightly as he noticed the large crystal pillars scattered in a massive arc on the outside of the town. "That's new."

Tam said, "Don't spread it around but it's a wall or rather it can be turned into a wall by any of the girls without much effort or so I'm told."

"That makes me feel a bit safer…" Harry trailed off as a man stepped in front of the cart.

Wit Congar demanded. "What are we going to do about the guard al'Thor, they're half dressed at best and trying to tempt the girls into things."

Tam sighed, "The guard work for the Lord and Lady Potter, take it up with them or the women's circle. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get the brandy inside-"

"The women's circle won't deal with it, it's indecent I tell you," Wit sputtered.

"Indecent or not, they do no harm Wit and a lot of good or have you forgotten the recent battle?" Tam was fairly sure that Wit's real issue with the guard was that he'd flirted with one a bit too much while drunk and she'd told his wife. The resulting fight had been heard by half the town that night.

Wit sputtered, "That is no excuse…"

"I really do need to get the brandy inside."

Harry asked, "Do you happen to know where Lady Potter is?"

Wit blinked then turned his attention to Harry. "Why do you want to know?"

Harry resisted the urge to say something less than nice about the man. "Because I have a message for her."

"Last I heard, she was at the inn."

"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me Mr. al'Thor, I really should get going." Harry turned and walked toward the inn.

"Of course." Tam wished that he could join the young man as Wit continued badgering him about various matters that he didn't care about.

Lady Moiraine frowned slightly as she watched several of the so called 'Guards' eat a late lunch while laughing and joking with a couple of the townsfolk. The trip to Emond's Field had been an eye opening experience. Things had been normal enough until they reached the river that formed the border of the Two Rivers and found a large drawbridge rather than the simple wooden bridge or ferry they'd been expecting. Realizing the bridge was fused stone had been shocking and weird but that was perhaps the least of the strange things she'd seen since crossing the river. The young girl in charge of raising and lowering the drawbridge had said that the bridge had been there forever could probably be forgiven for that as she was only nine and a half. Seeing the strange color twisting uniforms the guard wore had been unexpected and a bit frustrating. When she'd asked about the obviously power-wrought uniforms the guard had merely replied that they were supplied by the Lord and Lady of the land and that any questions should be directed their way in Emond's Field.

Lan said softly, "You're frowning again."

Moiraine whispered, "The innkeeper's daughter can channel, quite strongly."

Lan shifted slightly to look at the girl in her mid to late teens. Her hair was braided much like the other women in town. She was attractive such as it went but other than the way she moved there wasn't anything overly strange about her at first glance. She moved like she knew how to fight which was a bit odd for the daughter of an innkeeper but a fair number of people in the Two Rivers moved the same way. "She also moves like a fighter."

Moiraine's attention was drawn to the door as it opened and someone even stronger than the innkeeper's daughter walked through the door into the room. The red haired green eyed young lady in a smoky color changing dress was most likely the Lady Potter they'd heard about, the other young lady was the one that had more strength than the tower had probably seen for thousands of years. "Lady Potter?"

Lily turned to look at the attractive lady sitting at the table with a blue stone on her forehead hanging from a circlet. The stone combined with the mostly blue outfit and time and place made identification almost certain. "Moiraine Sedai or would you prefer Alys or Moiraine Damodred?"

"Moiraine I think." Moiraine answered. She'd rather not be known for her family name as her uncle had drug the name through the mud.

Lily turned to look at Lan, "And that would make you Lan, hopefully you'll forgive me if I don't list off your very long string of titles."

Lan nodded slightly. "Lan will do."

She shifted her attention back to Moiraine. "I hear that you've been looking for me."

Moiraine glanced around the room at the crowd of people trying to pretend not to be listening to their conversation. "Perhaps a more private location?"

Lily gestured toward the private dining chamber they'd helped Egwene's father build a couple of years ago for when they wanted to conduct business over food. "After you."

Moiraine frowned slightly when none of the 'Guards' even twitched at the idea of their Queen meeting people in private. Strangely enough there hadn't been the usual sizing up fighters normally gave Lan. She followed Lan into the chamber and took a seat. She waited for Lily and the channeler to walk in and close the door before she said, "I'm curious how you knew my name."

"I hear that curiosity is good for the soul." Lily gestured toward Nynaeve. "I'd like to introduce Nynaeve al'Meara, Healer and the Wisdom of Emond's Field."

Nynaeve smiled but didn't say anything else.

Moiraine asked, "Is she responsible for the guard's clothes or did you find a ter'angreal?"

Nynaeve said, "A friend created the ter'angreal that we use to create the cloth for the uniforms which means that the Tower has no claim to it."

"You're claiming you know someone that can make ter'angreal?" Moiraine asked in surprise.

Lily shrugged. "I know of several people that can make ter'angreal. Just because the tower lost track of a talent doesn't mean the rest of the world did."

"Some maintain that all ter'angreal are the property of the White Tower," Moiraine replied calmly.

"Considering that most of the artifacts have been lost for a very long time, I'm not sure that I care about their claim. Either way, even if I accepted their claim on relics of the past I wouldn't accept their claim on newly created ter'angreal. The power is a gift from the creator as I understand it and should be treated as such. Either way, if the Tower has a problem with any of my subjects making ter'angreal they can complain about it in person. Which leaves us with why you're here, you're hunting the Dragon Reborn."

Lan tensed as he glanced back and forth between Nynaeve and Lily.

Moiraine frowned slightly. "Do you know who he is?"

The door opened and Harry walked in. "Forgive the interruption Mum but I wanted to let you know I was back and the innkeeper said you were back here."

Lily stood up, took two steps and pulled him into a hug. "You're back."

"I said I'd be back…" Harry trailed off as he realized who his mother was talking to. "Ah, sorry, I should let you get back to your obviously important discussion with Moiraine and Lan."

"Not so fast young man, what kept you?"

"I ran into some nice people on the road and walked to town with them. I'm a bit surprised that Hermione isn't here."

"She's finishing up a presentation for her mastery in defense, she'll be here for Winternight as will Annabeth and their roommates."

"That's good to hear. I've got a couple of gifts to pass out so I'll catch up when you're done if you don't mind."

Lily laughed. "I'm looking forward to it."

Harry frowned slightly. "I get the feeling that you're laughing at me Mum."

"Heavens forbid," Lily replied sarcastically.

"I'll be back in a bit then." Harry turned and walked back out.

Lily glanced at Moiraine and Lan. "Ah, please forgive the interruption, he just got back from a trip, where were we?"

Lan said, "You were explaining why you think we were looking for the Dragon Reborn."

"I'm fairly sure I wasn't but sure, you're looking because of a foretelling that Moiraine overheard when she was an accepted and you were tired of fighting a war that you couldn't win. As for why you're looking here, I'm not actually sure on that one."

"How do you know that?" Moiraine asked curiously.

"I'm afraid that curiosity is good for you," Lily replied.

Lan scowled. "You're treating this as a joke."

"We've trained him as well as we can without explaining who he is or why we're training most of the village youths to defend themselves. He'll pick the rest up or he won't."

Moiraine said, "That still doesn't explain how you know things you shouldn't."

"You're correct it doesn't but I'm under no obligation to tell you how I know what I know. You're of course free to visit the town." Lily turned toward the door.

Lan asked, "Is there any truth to rumors of trollocs in the mountains or the guard using weaves of fire to destroy them?"

Lily scowled as she turned back to look at Lan. "Someone has a large mouth."

Nynaeve snorted. "Considering several youths were with them, it's not surprising."

"If you must know, most of the guards can channel. We're rather invested in making sure that the Last Battle doesn't end up the mess it was the last time."

Moiraine asked, "Last time?"

"Time is a curious things, ter'angreal are interesting… and some prices were too high."

"How come I couldn't feel any of the guard?"

Lily held up her hand and conjured a small fireball over it using wandless magic. "They wouldn't be very effective if people could sense them coming now would they?"

Moiraine stared at Lily in shock. "How?"

"Once again, I think I'll have to say, curiosity is a fun trait."

"I used to think so." Moiraine replied.

Lan asked, "What am I missing?"

"I can't sense her, I can't sense the flame either."

Lily cancelled the ball of fire. "What is life without some excitement. Speaking of excitement, I'd rather you not tell people why you're here, most of the townsfolk don't know that the Dragon has been reborn." She turned to look at Nynaeve. "I'll see you later for a dance." She apparated back outside.

Lan twitched as he looked around the room trying to figure out how she vanished.

Moiraine twitched as she noticed Nynaeve's smile. "You're enjoying this."

Nynaeve said, "More than I should for some reason."

"Invisibility?"

"Apparition, basically instant travel and no, I can't duplicate it."

Moiraine asked, "Why tell me?"

"Because despite Lily's twisted sense of humor, we're on the same side. She wants the Dragon Reborn safe and she wants the Dark One dead and gone."

Moiraine shook her head. "I doubt that is possible."

"It might be and it might not be but she's going to try. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some people to yell at about arrangements and such for the party tonight."

Lan asked, "You're still having a party even though your guards encountered trollocs?"

"The people here have a saying, the Light willing, we'll survive, if the Light isn't we'll still survive. We've known for a while that there would be an attack, we just weren't sure exactly when they exited the waygate."

Moiraine asked, "They used the ways?"

Nynaeve sighed. "There are several gates lost in the blight. Trolloc souls are small things, hardly worth noticing in small numbers which means they can occasionally slip past the Black Wind."

Lan asked, "And the Fade?"

"Burned to ashes along with the trollocs. Now if you'll excuse me, I really do need to make sure things are set up for tonight. It was nice meeting you." She turned and walked out with a slight smile on her face.

Moiraine sighed as she watched the door close. "I was hoping for more answers."

Lan watched Nynaeve with a frown on his face. "How much stronger than you is she?"

"If you picked up a kitten, that's a fair comparison. She's a great deal stronger than I am and unless I miss my guess she knows it quite well."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Lan asked.

"It remains to be seen."

Mat woke up with the worst headache of his life which was saying something as he'd been drinking in some dives in places no one sane would have touched or at least he remembered drinking in some of the weirdest places in various cities and places that didn't exist anymore. He remembered the stranger and he remembered that he'd been helping Rand put away the brandy barrels when he's see the stranger again and then he'd woken up in a chair in the inn with a headache to end all headaches. He felt tears well up when he spotted Egwene walking over to check on him. She was dead and she wasn't. In one set of memories, she'd gone off to the Tower to be an Aes Sedai and gotten killed in the last battle and in this life, she'd gotten training from Lily's friends and was actually fun to hang out with and practice staves with, it was disconcerting to say the least. "Egwene?"

Egwene asked, "How are you feeling?"

"A bit light headed, I obviously need some of your mother's honey cakes."

Egwene rolled her eyes. "I guess you are feeling better. I can get Nynaeve or your sisters to check if you want."

Mat shook his head. "No thanks." He smiled as he looked at her happy carefree face. It had been so different the last time the other him had seen her. It was hard to keep the memories straight but at least some of the gaps in his childhood were filled in once more."

Rand spoke up from where he was drinking a mug of hot cider. "You just collapsed."

"I'll be fine Rand…" Mat trailed off as he saw Moiraine and Lan walking out of the back room. Lan had less of a haunted look in his eyes than he remembered. 'That little rat was telling the truth.'

Perrin grumbled as he walked into to the inn. His head felt like he'd let master Luhhan use it for an anvil. "I feel like crap."

Mat stared at the hammer Perrin was carrying. "Your hammer, your eyes are golden."

"Of course they're…" Perrin trailed off as he realized that he had two sets of different memories. In one his eyes had been golden and in the other they'll still been brown. He glanced down at the hammer in his hand, he could remember making it and he couldn't. He'd made other interesting blades but he didn't remember the hammer and yet he did. He could trace most of his adventures and yet he knew that he'd spent the last couple of years forging blades with the guards. "I'm going to need a drink."

Mat muttered, "Join the club."

Moiraine walked over to look at Perrin's golden eyes. "What happened with your eyes?"

Perrin looked at her strangely. "What do you mean? You know damn well what happened to them."

Mat said, "I don't think she does. This is Winternight Perin."

Perin blinked as his memories of the morning snapped back into focus. "Oh."

Egwene glanced back and forth between Perrin and Mat. "Do I need to get Nynaeve to dose you."

Perrin sighed. "No."

Moiraine looked at Egwene and asked, "Do you know what is going on?"

"No, Mat collapsed and Perrin's eyes went weird. I'm getting Nynaeve my talent for healing is crap."

Perrin glanced at Lan then back at Moiraine who wasn't showing an sign of recognizing him. "Maybe that's a good idea."

Sirius walked up to where Harry was leaning against the massive oak tree near the inn, "What did you do?"

Harry smiled innocently, "Who me? What makes you think I'm doing anything suspicious?"

"Because you're laughing just like James used to after or before a prank."

"Ah, I might have given Mat and Perrin their memories from the end of the series or at least most of them in Perrin's case. They'd acquired a fair number of skills and Mat had so many memories in his head that a couple more weren't going to cause too many problems."

Sirius nodded. "I can see that. Are you going to do the same for the rest of the main heroes?"

"That depends on how stable our versions are. I have the future Egwene's memories but she looked rather stressed."

"Egwene went a little crazy or was pushed in the books so I think we should stick with having her view her memories rather than just downloading them all. Besides, Anna and Beth would kill you if you managed to straighten out her kinks. They also managed to twist an alternate Elayne around their little fingers so, giving her memories is out. While I like our version of Nynaeve, I don't think she'd object to being able to watch some of her old memories. It's something to discuss with her."

"What about Moiraine and Lan?" Harry asked.

"I don't see a problem with copying memories over. She certainly proved her worth in the book and more experience without the scars can only help. Besides, she knows who to talk to in order to make certain things line up like they need to."

"Stupid prophecies," Harry muttered.

Sirius shrugged. "Do you have a problem grabbing memories from a couple of different people?"

"I half charred the book pulling the other Perrin's hammer out but memories shouldn't cause a problem. What about Rand?"

Sirius considered the idea for a couple of seconds. "Grabbing a copy of his channeling knowledge from the end of the series wouldn't go amiss but I think he can do without Lews Therin's insanity."

Harry shrugged. "That sounds good. I don't suppose you have any ideas on how to get enough people out of here to make this all worth it?"

Sirius said, "You could try a vanishing cabinet as they're linked. Basically you walk into one and out the other. You also might try talking to the master enchanter or that demon girl you know."

"She'd want to trade for that juicy bit of knowledge."

"So? It's not a bad trade and the bank is holding the cup for us so we can cleanse it. We'll be able to grab the diadem and then we track down Voldemort. After that we figure out a way to bring a legion of wand users and such back with us and we crush the idiots that supported the death eaters and then we look for somewhere tropical to settle."

Harry asked curiously, "Speaking of settling, did you find a girl?"

Sirius laughed. "I actually did, Wendy is a cute redheaded telepathic wolf witch that can channel. I've actually got a little munchkin that's best friends with your sister and Remus's brat."

"My what? Wait, Remus had a child? With who?" Harry blinked in surprise, he wasn't sure which of those shocked him more.

"Nymphadora talked him into it."

"Okay and my sister?" Harry asked curiously.

Sirius laughed as he thought of the little prankster. "Tiffany is seven and cute as a button."

Harry winced. "Now I feel bad that I wasn't here."

"Everyone understood that it wasn't possible. You've got a couple of days to figure out how to get everyone else out of the book, no pressure, right?" Sirius snickered at the look of fear on Harry's face.

Harry blinked as he felt arms wrap around him from behind and pull him into a hug. "Hi?"

Sarah licked Harry's neck. "I found a Harry."

Sirius asked with amusement, "What are you going to do with the Harry you found?"

"Shrink him down and put him in my pocket so I don't lose him again. I mean sure, it was fun wandering around for first couple of months but after a couple of years, I just wanted my Harry back."

Harry twisted around so that he was facing Sarah. "You're the one that wanted to explore and learn new spells and such things."

"Stop talking and kiss me."

Harry floated up and kissed Sarah on the lips.

Sirius rolled his eyes as Harry and Sarah worked on kissing each other senseless and ignoring him. "Right, I'll just go collect everyone so we can get out of here." He turned then smiled as he saw Egwene who had just stepped out of the door. "Any word from Hermione yet?"

Egwene pulled her attention off Sarah's cute behind. "She just used her mirror, her presentation is done and she's on her way over."

Harry stopped kissing Sarah long enough to say, "Good."

Sarah chuckled as she let go of Harry. "Harry this is Egwene, Hermione and the twins' other girlfriend."

Harry stopped kissing Sarah and turned to look at Egwene with a smile. "It's nice to see you again. Anna and Beth snatch up all the cute girls don't they?"

"They certainly try," Egwene replied with amusement as she thought about Elayne and some of the other girls they'd invited over for fun.

Sarah said, "As much fun as kissing Harry would be, we should figure out how to bring everyone back with us."

Harry looked over at Sirius. "Sirius's idea about using the vanishing cabinets gave me a couple of ideas that might work. I just have to look through Hermione's collection of magazines and books again."

"Good because I was drawing a blank if that didn't work and I didn't really think it would," Sirius replied.

The inn door opened revealing Bran al'Vere. "Egwene, Nynaeve wants to talk to you about Perrin and Mat."

Egwene spun and gave her father a smile. "Of course, we were just coming inside anyways."
