ActualWeeb: So, the original story was taken down because of copyright, and I was about to take out the book text anyways, so here we go, I guess.

This is a cliche reading the books fic, but with fem!Harry. Usually in rtb fics, a note explains everything, but I think that's stupid and it's really difficult to explain everything with a note, so I sent a person.

Also, I got the name "Bella" from xJLCSAADFRNCx. I don't intend to steal her story or her idea.

I do not own Harry Potter.

Bella angrily kicked a rock as she strolled by the Black Lake.

Last summer, she'd watched her boyfriend get murdered by her dead parent's old friend who sold them out to a wizarding terrorist. She then had to watch said "friend" resurrect said terrorist, endure torture, and escape with barely her life. The ministry didn't believe her. They claimed she was lying to get attention, but if that was the case, she'd have to be seriously mentally ill to lie about that.

Not only that, but the ministry worker they'd sent to Hogwarts was torturing her in detention and she couldn't tell Dumbledore because he was ignoring her.

I wish I could prove it to them, she thought gloomily. I'm not lying.

Just as the thought rang through her head, there was a flash of light, and she found herself in a hexagonal room with Hermione, all the Weasleys, Snape, Remus, Sirius, Luna, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, Dumbledore, McGonnagal, Moody, Madame Pomfrey, Tonks, Draco Malfoy, and Fluer Delacour, all looking as confused as she felt.

In the middle of the room was a coffee table, surrounded by chairs, couches, and beanbags.

"Sirius Black!" Astoria screamed, hiding behind her sister.

"Woah, don't worry kiddo, I'm innocent," Sirius said, raising his hands in surrender. Astoria looked unconvinced, still hiding behind her protective-looking older sister.

"Where are we, Albus?" McGonnagal said.

"I've no idea, Minerva," he replied.

"We might have encountered an angered Blibbering Humdinger. Maybe it's confusing us for revenge..." Luna trailed off dreamily.

"Bloody 'ell, Charlie? What're you doing here?" Ron gasped.

"I know as much as you, little bro," Charlie sighed. Chatter broke out around the room as everyone tried to discover what was happening.

"Hello," a feminine voice rang through the room. Everyone turned to the coffee table, where a teenage girl, who looker to be about seventeen or eighteen, was sitting, a stack of books at her side. She had fair skin, beautiful hazel eyes, and light blonde hair fell in waves around her smiling face. Bella heard a gasp behind her. She turned to see Dumbledore, staring at the girl in utter shock. It was the first time she'd seen him so surprised.

"I'm sure you're wondering why you're here." She paused and smiled at an invisible space by the wall. "The bathroom is there," she stated randomly, pointing behind her. "Well, I'm from an alternate universe, where magic doesn't exist." There were some shocked and scandalized gasps. "Yes, tragic, I know. However, we do know of your existence. We know many things of the wizarding world."

"How?" Remus breathed, being the first to talk. The girl smiled and patted the books next to her.

"These. While many believe they're simply a work of fiction, they fail to comprehend that just because something isn't happening to them, it doesn't mean it isn't real somewhere else."

"If there's no magic in your universe, how are you here?" Hermione asked skeptically.

"Good question! While there isn't magic, muggles have technology and science. I live in the year 2016 of another universe, and humanity has- and will, in your case- advanced rapidly. I've been interested in the idea of multiple universes, and have taken an interest in the ability to manipulate time and the universe."

"Muggles can do that?" Mr. Weasley whispered breathlessly, excitement clear on his face.

"Yep," she nodded, standing up. "But we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about you, and your future." She began to explain where the rooms where. On the right was a kitchen and dining area, with both magic and muggle foods. Directly opposite to that door was a hall, which had two staircases at the end. The staircase on the left led to the girl's dorm, and the staircase on the right was for the boys.

Parallel to the bathroom which the girl had indicated was a room full of dummies and random glass objects. The girl explained that this room was made for destruction if anyone needed to vent. (Mad-Eye approved.)

"Well, er, there's something else to address. There are some people in the room that most of you can't see," she announced. There were a few murmurs before she continued. "These people are invisible because I thought it would be too much of a shock to you to see them...These people have been taken from the past of most of you, who are from 1995. These people, however, died before then." There were many gasps and a few screams.

"The people who are currently invisible have been taken from five minutes before their death. After everything has been read in here, they have a choice: they can return to 1995 with everyone else, or they can go back to their time and try to change things from there. Of course, they'll create an alternate universe once going back to their time. Speaking of time, no time can pass here."

"Wh-who are invisible?" Bella whispered hopefully.

"Cedric Diggory, James Potter, and Lily Potter," she answered. "After I leave, they will be visible."

"What's your name?" Mad-Eye said suspiciously.

"I can't tell you. Call me..." she thought for a moment. "Crystalline. Anyways, this button-" she pointed to a small red button on the coffee table, "-will tell me if you need me. For now, I'll go, and let you read the books." Before anyone could object, Crystalline smiled and disappeared.

"Both of us," Bella said.

"What?"

"We'll take it at the same time. It's still a Hogwarts victory. We'll tie for it."

Cedric stared at his girlfriend. Just as he opened his mouth to agree, he found himself in a strange hexagonal room with many people. He recognized Hermione, all the Weasleys, Professor Snape, Professor Lupin, Sirius Black, Daphne and Astoria Greengrass, Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor McGonnagal, Professor Moody, Madame Pomfrey, Draco Malfoy, and Fluer Delacour. The others he didn't know. He saw Bella and ran up to her.

"Bella! What's going on?" She didn't respond. He frowned. "Bella?"

Next to him, he heard an annoyed man.

"Sirius? Oi, Sirius! I'm talking to you, Padfoot?"

"No luck?" Cedric asked. The man blinked and turned to him. The man looked to be about 21, and he looked scarily like Bella. Next to him was a red-haired woman with bright green eyes.

"Who are you?" the man asked, ignoring the arguing and chatter that had begun to erupt.

"Cedric," he said nervously. "And you?"

"I'm James. James Potter. This is my wife, Lily," he said.

"But...Bella's parents are dead!" Cedric couldn't help but gasp.

"What?!" Lily shrieked.

"What do you mean?" James gasped. "And how do you know Bella?"

"I-I'm dating Bella," he stammered.

"Bella is an infant. Are you sure we're talking about the same girl?" Lily asked. Cedric frowned.

"Bella's parents died when she was a baby."

Lily fainted. James caught her.

"I'm as confused as you are," Cedric sighed. Suddenly, a feminine voice rang through the room.

"Hello."

Cedric, Lily, and James turned to see a blonde teen, a mysterious smiled plastered on her face. "I'm sure you're wondering why you're here."

"No, we just wanted to know where the restroom was." The girl smiled at him.

"The bathroom is there," she explained, pointing at a door before continuing. She explained that she was from another dimension and wanted them to read the books next to her.

"Well, er, there's something else to address. There are some people in the room that most of you can't see," she announced. There were a few murmurs before she continued. "These people are invisible because I thought it would be too much of a shock to you to see them...These people have been taken from the past of most of you, who are from 1995. These people, however, died before then." James let out a strangled cry as Lily screamed. Cedric slowly slid down the wall in shock. He died...

"The people who are currently invisible have been taken from five minutes before their death." Lily gasped and sat down next to Cedric faintly. He couldn't believe it. He was going to die in five minutes. He would've taken the cup and died. "After everything has been read in here, they have a choice: they can return to 1995 with everyone else, or they can go back to their time and try to change things from there. Of course, they'll create an alternate universe once going back to their time. Speaking of time, no time can pass here."

"Go to 1995," he whispered to the Potters. "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was too quick and powerful...and Bella needs you." James nodded, face paler than a ghost.

"Wh-who are invisible?" Bella whispered hopefully.

"Cedric Diggory, James Potter, and Lily Potter," she answered. "After I leave, they will be visible."

"What's your name?" Professor Moody said suspiciously.

"I can't tell you. Call me..." she thought for a moment. "Crystalline. Anyways, this button-" she pointed to a small red button on the coffee table, "-will tell me if you need me. For now, I'll go, and let you read the books." Before anyone could object, Crystalline smiled and disappeared.

Just then, all eyes were on Cedric, James and Lily.

When Crystalline left, Bella spun around to see the faces she'd thought she'd only see in photographs. In front of her were James Potter, Lily Potter, and Cedric Diggory.

She found herself suddenly unable to move. Her legs crumbled beneath her, causing her to fall to the ground. Cedric, who had been sitting against the wall, stood and ran towards her, helping her up.

"Are you okay?" Cedric asked. She nodded numbly, barely registering anything over the ringing in her ears.

Sirius, soon followed by Moony, ran towards her mom and dad, pulling them in a hug, which her parents glady returned. Not long later, her parents ran to her and wrapped their arms around her. Bella emotionlessly returned the hug, in too much of a shock to do much else.

"Mum...Dad...Cedric..." she whispered breathlessly.

"Yes, sweetheart, it's us," Lily replied softly.

Once Bella heard that, she felt her eyes roll into the back of her head before everything went black.

So, yeah. That's the first chapter. Hopefully I'll be able to update frequently, but most of you know how bad I am at that.

Crystalline is from a slightly more advanced universe than our own, which is why she's capable of doing what she can.

Thanks for reading! Please review!
