Boiling Hogwarts

Luz, was regretting the decision to go on the train today, her mind was racing about her fight with Lus, what was going on between the different realms and how she was going to get her dad free.

She was glad that her stitches had healed thanks to the ley line but she seriously wondered why her body wasn't letting her heal quicker before. Was she really just that used to the boiling isles climate now that her body only healed properly there? Or was it her fight against the collector, had they altered her body when he rewrote reality.

Tapping her "Walking Stick" against the ground, she smiled at the other teachers who were either reading or talking between themselves. She felt a bit out of place there, they had all been co-workers for years and she was the new teacher. In a role that was apparently cursed. She didn't really care about curses herself though because she dealt with them daily in the boiling isles.

Not only that but she was going through a missing Amity and the kids stage again which was just brilliant. She swore that after this year she would just spend most of her time in the boiling Isles. She knew her Mamá would miss her and sure she did want to get to know Sirius but she wanted to be with her Wife and Kids more, with her other mom Eda, her brothers King and Hunter along with her best friends Gus and Willow.

Slowing her breathing for a few seconds she imagined herself in the boiling Isles and reality changed around her, she felt drained from doing it but she was glad to be home. Walking towards the front door of the Owl house, she smiled and entered the room to find it empty. Not really surprising, Eda would probably be taking the kids back to her and Amity's place about now.

She sat on the couch and suddenly she felt all of the stress go away. She was home even if it was only for a few minutes. She would be sling slotted back to the human realm in a minute or two. Suddenly next to her she felt the couch go down and she turned her head to find King curling into her leg "Hey Luz."

She smiled, stroking him slightly, he was the size of a medium sized dog now and replied "Hey buddy, How are you doing?" He looked up at her "I miss you Luz, When are you coming home." She sighed "probably not for a while King. But I will try to visit more. See you soon." Before she was catapulted back to the human realm, scaring the life out of some of the other teachers who hadn't noticed that she had vanished.

Whoops, oh well she saw and talked to King which was the main thing. Grabbing her Bag of things, she grabbed out her lesson plans and started to scan through them.


"And that Concludes the first prefect meeting, Remember do not abuse your power and be fair. While we all want our own houses to win the house cup. That Does not give you the right to constantly remove points from other houses. Alright dismissed." The Seventh year Head boy finished with a small smile.

The older Prefects and Head Persons left the compartment first leaving the newly chosen 5th years. Harry, Hermione, Tracey, Draco, Susan, Ernie, Anthony, Padma. The 5 stared between themselves before Susan said "So..Tracey how was your summer, did you go to the states like you said?"

Tracey turned to look at the blond hufflepuff "Unfortunately not, my mum got caught in paperwork and Rodger was too busy with his new girlfriend to take me, what about you you were off to Paris weren't you?"

The other girl gave a small smile "Yeah, it was lovely. We could only stay a week unfortunately but being under the sun in Paris was amazing. I hope to go back next year."

During the entirety of the conversation, Harry and Hermione were glaring at Draco who was returning his own glare at the two of them, the tension between the three of them growing, the longer they stared. Harry's fist was clenching against his leg, While Hermione was tapping her left foot impatiently, Draco on the other hand, had his hand reaching for his wand the entire time.

The other sensing the tension started to filter out until it was just the two Gryffindors and the two Slytherins left in the compartment. Draco on one side of the compartment and the other 3 on the other. Malfoy was about to grab his wand before he suddenly stood up and said "Potter. Mudblood, Davies." Turning towards the door.

As he was about to open it, Harry then Tracey said "Malfoy." while Hermione said unfazed by the slur he had used against her "Dickhead".

Hermione's comment seemed to be what finally broke him as he pulled his wand out in a instant aimed it at Hermione but was quickly met by three wands aimed at him back with Harry saying camly "Really, malfoy, everyone knows how you roll now, you just ain't special any more. Now move along, unless you want us to report you to Professor McGonagal and Professor Snape. I heard our dear potions master is in a really bad mood already."

Draco glared but put his wand away "You will pay for this." before walking away. The trio put their wands down and Hermione said camly "You know, I'm kind of surprised he didn't say 'My father will hear about this' Is little baby Malfoy finally growing up?

Tracey laughed "Malfoy grow up? As if" The three of them started to walk back towards their compartments, Tracey to hers and Daphne's while Harry and Hermione's were making their way towards Ron. They were just starting to say goodbye to Tracey when Ron called out "Harry, Hermione there you are!"

All three of them turned to face Ron who was looking out of breath as he finally reached them, Harry put a hand on his friend's shoulder and said "Ron is everything okay?"

Daphne stuck her head out of the compartment at this point and said "What's all the fuss?! Can a girl not get some Beauty rest around here?!"

Ron glared at her briefly before saying "Harry, Neville came to our compartment, apparently his friend Luna saw you in danger on the way back from the meeting. He says she has never been wrong before."

Daphne raised an eyebrow "Nobody can really see the future Weasley, she probably just had a dream to do with the boy-who-" Before she could finish her sentence the entire doorway to get off the trains exploded open and everyone who was in the area had to grab hold of a part of the still together train, with people screaming as the train continued to keep on speeding along its path.

Harry had just about managed to grab a hold of one of the doors on the other side and Tracey was clinging for dear life as they went around a deep bend. Once they got around the bend Harry let go of the door, but for some reason that he couldn't work out, he didn't let go of Daphne, instead choosing to hold on to her with one hand.

Looking through the smoke, he saw two figures, one that he very much recognized after their last encounter with them. "By Morgana's Knickers, it's Lus! Get down!" Before Hermione Yelled "Protego!"


Luz knew there was something wrong straight away, before the explosion that shook the train, before the smoke that billowed past the teachers compartment, she was already moving, bolting towards the door, Staff in hands, It was only seconds later that the rest of the teachers were met with the explosion but Luz already had a head start on them. By the time the smoke arrived, she was already half way down the second corridor, changing her glyph combos, preparing Owlzura for combat.

It took her precisely a minute to reach the source of the explosion, there she found The "Golden Trio" along with Tracey Davies and Daphne Greengrass hiding behind a Cracked magic Shield, firing spells at their attacker. Their attacker being none other than Lus and Kikimora?

Luz slid into view of the two of them before launching at them using an air glyph mixed with a fire glyph, taking a swing at Lus with her fire boot Which knocked Lus back as the grimwalker was unprepared. Kikimora then screamed "Damn the bloody Human! Autonamons! Attack!"

Luz Didn't waste any time and shot back towards the train "Blight Autonamons?! Odelia!" She slammed her Staff into the ground and created a spell circle, sweat running down her face. She Rarely created spell circles without her staff, in fact she was only even able to do it right now because her staff was in between her hands.

She split the Abomination circle into two individual ones like she had seen Amity do, hundreds of times before and screamed in agony as she linked her abomination magic up to the automatons, they weren't as polished as the old ones were thankfully. Using all of her strength she pulled her arms apart and the automatons exploded, the Boiling Isles Metal falling into the lake below.

Kikimora went flying into Lus and the two of them were unable to keep up with the train without the Automatons. Once they were out of sight, Lus collapsed to the ground in exhaustion "Please tell me this isn't going to become a regular thing."


They arrived at the school without too much trouble which luz was very grateful for, Breathing in and out she managed to just about get through the welcoming feast and sorting ceremony but she could feel her heart pumping, The fact That Lus had teamed up with Kikimora and Odelia, terrified her. All three of them were trouble on their own, but combined? They could rain devastation.

Once the feast was over, she crept towards the room and closed the door, she immediately sank against it, her breathing starting to lose control, she needed to warn her family, they were all in danger, she needed….she needed to run…no she needed to say… Her thoughts took over her body, even as she curled up and fell asleep still on the floor.
