A/N: I'm sooo sorry, I seem to be apologizing every chapter for my lateness it seems. School grabbed a hold of me real tight and wouldn't let me go for a while. Stupid math classes...hate them . but any who this is the next chapter and like I said I was going to be doing every girls POV because it doesn't seem fair to just focus on one girl's POV. Hope you enjoy it :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or W.I.T.C.H, if I did there would be many more books of HP and many more animated series of W.I.T.C.H lol
Chapter Four
Tragic Visions
The light blocked by large trees, the wind blowing a dry, cold wind, numbing the senses. Panic surrounds the air and fear follows behind. Panting sounds rushing from her mouth as she run through the blackness as fast as she can. Almost losing her balance on a twig as her heart races as she feels like a rat trapped in a never ending maze. A fallen tree lifts her off her feet, face first into the cold dirt. She turns over, feeling pain run p her leg and right arm. She scooted back trying to get away.
A man in a black cloak almost glides towards her and has a light at the tip of his wand to let her know he was coming and there was nothing she could do and no one was going to save her. The girls chocolate brown eyes widened as he pointed his wand at her.
Will shot open her eyes and lurched forward into a sitting position on her bed. The room was still dark, it was close to 4am and everyone was still sound asleep. Mister Huggles had been sleeping by her head and was startled and feel off the bed. Will was drenched in sweat and panting still. Her arm burned, the Heart was reacting to her dream. She put her left hand on her heart and clenched her shirt in it as she felt her heart still racing.
'I don't know how much longer I can take these nightmares...' After a few moments her heart slowed and she wiped the sweat from her brow. She threw the covers off her which had landed on top of Mister Huggles who had just climbed back on the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed for a moment as her feet were getting used to the cold floor. She looked around to see all the beds filled now and not just her two friends. She sighed and walked out to the bathroom and got ready for the day as it was clear she wouldn't be bale to sleep anymore.
Will walked down the steps dressed for her first day of classes at Hogwarts; she had Mister Huggles on her shoulder so she would have some company for a while. Since Cornelia's little sister, Lily, put a third of her magic into him he could understand human speech and would be able to listen when she told him to go back up. She walked over to the couch that was in front of the fireplace, it almost seemed antique in the color and shape. She sat down and was glad is was very soft and leaned against the back. She watched as the flames danced around the wood. "I'm nervous about today Huggles...I'm so tired of having those nightmares..." She said as she laid her head back against the back with her eyes closed. Mister Huggles just squeaked and ran up on her head making her just sigh.
Mister Huggles feel silent as he picked his head up and looked toward the stairs as someone started coming down them. Will opened her eyes instantly as she felt her pet dormouse go quiet which wasn't like him. She saw the boy she had met on the way here and sat with at the opening ceremonies.
"Good Morning, Will." Harry Potter smiled to his new red haired friend.
Will smiled back and picked her head up as her pet ran to her shoulder. She was actually glad someone was here other then her as she could get her mind off things for a while. She turned so she was sitting length wise on the couch, one arm over the back and her leg bent up, lying on the couch while the other stayed on the ground. "Morning, You're up early."
"Yea, don't normally sleep very well." He chuckled pathetically, it was sad he barely ever got a good night sleep. He walked around the couch and sat on a chair to the side of the fireplace. "What about you? Are you normally an early bird?"
"Couldn't sleep either." She gave the same laugh as he did.
Harry noticed the creature on her shoulder and looked at him puzzled. "Who's that?" He asked very intrigued by it.
"Hm?" She looked on her shoulder and smiled at her Dormouse. "Oh...this is Mister Huggles, he's a dormouse. My friend back home gave him to me as a present." She laughed mentally as she thought of more. 'And his body flows with magic from the heart of Earth, he understands humans and I can practically understand him and he can turn into a giant, bulky, furry warrior...but yea other then that he's just a typical rodent.'
"Hey there, Mister Huggles...interesting name." Harry noted.
"Well he was also named by him, but it's unique so I like it." She smiled at Mister Huggles and scratched his head with her pointer finger.
"Be careful with him running loose, there are a lot of owls around here that would gladly pick him up for dinner."
"He'll be fine; he can hold his own, trust me." Will smirked to Harry, which only confused him but he shrugged it off.
"So how come you guys are transferring here?" He asked as he had been wondering that since they met.
This caught Will off guard; she had totally neglected that aspect of their story. "Well..." She thought on her toes. "...we heard there was a lot of things happening on this side of the world and thought our talents might be put to better use over here." She had remembered some of the things he had told her and just went with it.
"Well...we could use all the help we can get right now. There aren't many of us for the cause anymore."
"Why not?"
"People wish to believe nothing is happening and continue to go on with their lives as normal." Harry sighed out. Before Will could answer a couple girls came downstairs and made them both look at them. When their eyes met the two girls they both scoffed and turned their noses up at them. When they left the dorm Will looked back at Harry with her eyebrow raised. "That's what I'm talking about...they all think I'm a liar, if they don't start believing me soon...there's no telling how many people will die..." It was obvious this was taking its toll on Harry.
"Is that why you can't sleep?" She asked a little worried about his sanity.
"It plays a big part..."
"And the other parts?"
"Nightmares usually."
"Oh." What else could she really say? "If it makes you feel better, that's the reason I'm up."
"Nightmares?"
"Yes...it's been the same one for a couple of days."
"Don't let professor Trelawney hear that..."
"Why? Does she not like them?"
"She loves them...that's the problem. She thinks everything has a meaning...she's our Divination professor...she's a little...nutty." It was the nicest word he could think of.
Will only laughed. "Can't wait for that class then." She smiled as she knew Taranee would have fun reading her mind and trying to figure her out. More people started to trickle down the stairs and Will saw how stuck up people seemed to be. They either ignored Harry completely or made some snide remark as they walked past him. A boy soon came down the stairs and went to Harry's side. "Morning Harry." He smiled to him as he held his books, ready for the day.
"Morning, Nevil. This is Will, she's new here." Harry pointed out his friend. The other boy turned and smiled at her.
"Hello, I think I remember you from the opening ceremonies...why are you starting so late?" He asked curiously.
"Hello, Nevil, we're transferring from another school." She explained to him. She had a feeling she would be doing a lot of explaining these first few weeks.
"That's neat." He said averting his eyes from her; he never could make eye contact with someone for very long. He saw Mister Huggles on her should and was captivated, he had a love of nature that was only rival but one other. "What kind of creature is that?" He asked never seeing one before.
"He's a Dormouse. His name is Mister Huggles." She smiled and held her arm straight out toward Nevil. Mister Huggles ran up and around her head and jumped to her shoulder and ran down her arm and squeaked at him, lifting his head up and curling his tail around her arm.
Nevil cautiously reached his hand out to him and patted his head. "He's cute." Smiling as Mister Huggles squeaked and ran back up Will's arm and to her shoulder.
Irma and Hay Lin walked down the stairs laughing and walked to their Keeper of the Heart. "Ready for this? I have a feeling this is going to be like Heatherfield times a billion." Irma complained, not the one for school.
Will closed her eyes and shook her head, smiling. She opened her eyes and stood up. "These are two of my friends, Irma and Hay Lin." She introduced them to Nevil.
"H-hello." He greeted nervously as he was now out-numbered by girls.
"I think we should head to class, we have Defense Against the Dark Arts first thing. I wouldn't put my money on being late and living to tell it with this new professor...she isn't right." Harry glared. His past with that woman left a bad taste in his mouth.
"You're probably right...what other house will we be with?" Will asked hoping at least some of her other friends would be there.
"I think Ravenclaw is with us for that." Harry answered.
"Oh good." Having Taranee was good at least, she was pretty smart and her telepathy usually came in handy.
"Shall we head off to hell with four walls then?" Irma asked sarcastically with her hands on her hips.
Taranee was waiting outside of the class for her friends, books in hand. When she saw three of them coming towards her she smiled and ran to them. "How was everyone's first night?"
"Slept like a baby." Irma laughed out.
"I was woken up by Shemshek but other then that I was sound asleep too." Hay Lin smiled to her friend.
"I had another nightmare..."Will said unenthusiastically.
"Oh no..." Taranee said as her smiled faded, as did the other two's. 'Same one?'
'Yea...'
'Maybe they have some super charged sleeping pill...nightmare free.' Irma suggested jokingly.
'Now's not the time, Irma, they mean something, the Heart is trying to tell us something.' Taranee pointed out.
'Maybe, but we need to speak with words before these two think we are loony.' Will told them as she looked up to Harry. "Where are your friends?"
"I'm sure they are already in there, Hermione is a school fanatic."
They all walked into the classroom to see a good amount of people already there. It seemed Slytherin was there as well. Will noticed the blond haired boy from the train ride and saw him look this way. She glared at him and almost sparked as her powers started flaring.
"Calm down, Will." Taranee whispered to her.
'Just something about him makes my powers surge through me and almost over flow.'
"Well if it isn't, potter and his new groupies. Come to learn to defend yourself, Vandom." He smirked at her.
Will only glared more as a spark went through her hair. Harry's eye caught it and he raised his eyebrow. "Why don't you stick to your pathetic insults and leave the activities using a brain to use, don't want you to strain yourself." Will smirked back at him, which only made him angrier.
"Why you little..."
"Good morning children." Professor Umbridge said in her high pitched voice, smiling as she seemed to always do. She was dressed once again in her pink outfit which made all three W.I.T.C.H girls squint as it hurt their eyes.
"Come sit over here." Harry offered them to sit near him and his friends. Will turned to look at him and smiled nodding her head. The static now gone from her hair. Harry waved to Hermione and Ron who sat next to each other as he and Nevil sat down followed by Will, Taranee and Hay Lin.
Professor Umbridge lifted her hand that held her wand and starting wishing it like she was writing on air. "Ordinary Wizard Level Examinations." She spoke as it was written on the chalk board. "O.W.L's." She said very perky. "More commonly known as...OWL's." She smiled at her class. "Study hard and you will be rewarded. Fail to do so and the consequences may be...severe." She flicked her wand and the stack of books behind her floated off the table and was placed in front of every student. "Your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know that from now on you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry approved course of defensive magic."
Hermione raised her hand.
"Yes?" Professor Umbridge asked with a smile.
"There's nothing in here about using defensive spells?" She asked confused.
"Using defensive spells?" Umbridge gave a little giggle at the thought. "Why, I can't imagine why you would need to use spells in my class."
"We're not gonna use magic?" Ron asked as most of the students in class, if not all, had their eyebrows risen in pure confusion.
"You will be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk free way." She answered him.
"Well...what use is that, if we're gonna be attacked it won't be risk free."
"Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class." She spoke firmly for once and not with her jolly goodness she seemed to emit all the time. "It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient enough to get you through your examinations, which is, after all, what school is about all about." She finished with another smile.
"And how is this theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there?" Harry asked.
Will could see this was not going to end well in Harry's side. She looked to her friends who were just as confused as well; none of them knew any spell what so ever, so this new tactic she was putting in place wasn't good for them.
"Why, there is nothing out there, dear. Who do you imagine wants to attack children, like yourself?" Smiling as if she lived under a rock.
"Oh...I don't know...maybe, Lord Voldemort?" As soon as he spoke his name everyone started whispering to each other.
A very different look came across professor Umbridge's face, as though she had seen a ghost. "Now let me make this, quite plane. You have been told that a certain dark wizard is at large, once again." She spoke while walking down the rows. "This is a lie."
"It's not a lie! I saw him! I fought him!" Harry yelled out.
"Detention, Mr. Potter!" Umbridge yelled back.
"So according to you Cedric Diggory dropped dead of his own accord?" He yelled back once more.
'This place seems to have a lot of troubles...do you think we will be able to help them?' Taranee asked her three friends mentally.
'I have no idea...' Will answered.
"Cedric Diggory death was a tragic accident."
"It was murder! Voldemort killed him you must have know thi-"
"Enough!" She yelled out, making the whole class fall silent. "Enough..." She quieted down. "See me later...Mr. Potter, my office." She said with a disgusting giggle at the end.
"You will not speak his name in here!" Umbridge squealed out, obviously mad. "Now...please open your books to page 413." She giggled out.
"She makes me want to hurl up my lunch...and I haven't even eaten it yet..." Irma glared at her.
"This isn't our fight, Irma. We aren't here to pick small fights with a teacher." Will said to her friend.
Harry looked over but threw it off as he was too angry and hyped up at the moment to care what she meant.
Cornelia was in Herbology with Hufflepuffs and was actually looking forward to this class. Plants were her for-tay and knew she would easily pass this class. She was outside in the green house with her students, standing in the corner by herself with her hands folded. She wasn't really looking to put herself out there at the moment, but one girl had other plans. "Hello there, I saw you get sorted, my name's Hannah. What's yours?" The blond haired girl said as she wore it in pigtails.
"Cornelia Hale." She answered not really enthused.
"So how come you were accepted so late?"
"Fashionably late." She smirked.
Hannah laughed. "Well, you defiantly made your entrance."
"Yea, full of people three heads shorter then us."
"But at least you're here now. Did you want to be my partner?" She asked with a smile.
"Sure."
Just then a heavy set woman came into the green house and greeted everyone. "Good Morning, class. I trust everyone is prepared. Do line up around this section." She said pointing to a long flower bed was that held some plants.
"Come stand by me." Hannah offered.
"Alright." Cornelia said as she followed Hannah to one side of the flower bed. They all looked at their professor.
"Good. I am Professor Sprout and this is fifth year Herbology. You will need to find a partner for the duration of this term. Now today we will be learning about Daises."
"Daisies? We have those back home..." Cornelia groaned.
"Daises are a key ingredient in the Shrinking Solution potion. Now, underneath the flower beds are empty pots. You and your partner will harvest a daisy seed from these pots and re-pot it in the empty one." Professor Sprout explained as everyone went to grab their pots.
Hannah bent down to get their pot and Cornelia looked around at each pot, deciding which Daisy looked better. She picked the best looking on near her and found a seed on the top of the soil. She turned to her partner who had already filled the pot with fresh soil. "This flower had the best looking genes." Cornelia said as she put her finger in the soil and dropped the seed in, covering it up with the soil.
"Has everyone go their seeds re-homed?" Professor Sprout answered and was followed by a 'yes, professor' by everyone. "Good, now the next task is that you and your partner will take care of the little guys until it's full grown. It should be about five weeks. Take turns caring for it and read up on their needs. Use the rest of the class time to do so."
"Do you want to take first care or should I?" Hannah asked.
"Either way is fine with me."
"I'll take first watch if that's okay then."
"Alright, say week three I take over?"
"Deal." Hannah smiled at her new friend.
For the rest of the class they were reading on how to take care of the Daisy seed.
Class had ended and everyone was off to their next class. "I have History of Magic next, so I won't be with you guys." Taranee said with a gloom look on her face, she hated being by herself.
"It's alright, Taranee, we will all have many classes together I'm sure. It was a pleasure meeting you." Harry smiled to her.
Taranee smiled back and ran off to her next class. Will turned to Harry and raised an eyebrow. "Are you alright?"
"Yea, I'm fine. I get worked up too easily when I'm called a liar, and I know I shouldn't, I just can't help it. Everyone is in denial and it will end up with many people getting hurt." He sighed out.
"Well, if it's any constellation, we believe you." Will smiled to him. She barely knew him, but knew he was more trustworthy then the pink blob. "In any case, what do we have next?" She asked wondering if they would see Cornelia yet.
"Thanks." Harry smiled back to her; it did make him feel a little better knowing a few more people were on his side.
"We have divination next with just us Gryffindors, this should be fun." Ron said as he rolled his eyes.
Harry gave a groan, hating this class more then anything. "Can't wait to know if I'll die this year too."
"Die?" Hay Lin gasped.
"Don't worry, Professor Trelawney has always predicted his death, but it hasn't come true yet, obviously." Hermione responded.
"Old coot." Ron said as he crossed his arms.
The group headed towards the large winding staircase that lead to their classroom. "We have to climb that?" Irma asked her mouth wide open.
"Unfortunately." Harry answered.
'Great...can't we just W.I.T.C.H it up and fly up their?' She asked her friends.
'Come on, Irma, you need the exercise.' Will winked at her.
'Oh ha, ha.' She put her hands on her hips and glared at her red headed friend. Hay Lin could only giggle. The other three saw and heard all the events that had just taken place between the other three and were rightfully confused. Ron could only think of them as mental.
"Well let's start this hike then." Will sighed and readjusted the bag on her shoulder before taking to the stairs. Harry followed right behind her as to show her where to go. Irma and Hay Lin right after then Hermione and Ron.
"So you and your friends are really interesting." Harry sparked a conversation with Will.
Will looked to her side as they continued climbing. "Oh? We're not really anything great I assure you." Nope, just your basic evil fighting, controllers of the elements, crossing world, normal teenagers.
"I don't believe that." He didn't say anything more on the subject as he only had a hunch.
Taranee entered the classroom for History of Magic. She had yet to meet any friends in her house really. She looked around and walked clear across the other side of the room and went all the way to the top of the stand of seats and sat on the end. She placed her bag down on the ground and took out her book, pen and a notebook. She sighed as she realized she was alone as people came in talking to their friends who they have known for five years at least. She opened her book and started doodling her fire sign until she was interrupted.
"Hello." A calm voice spoke beside her.
Taranee looked up from her notebook to see someone had sat next to her, it was Luna Lovegood. "Oh, hi, I didn't even hear you sit down...Aren't you in the same room with me in the dorm?"
"Yes that's right. You don't happen to know where my shoes went to do you?"
"No I don't." She recalled the other girls picking on her and wondered if they had anything to do with it.
"It's alright, I'm sure it's just the Nargles playing around."
"Nargles?" She asked confused.
"Crafty little creatures, they like to get into mischief." Luna smiled at Taranee.
Taranee liked the calmness to Luna and was glad to have that now. A ghost appeared through the chalkboard. "Good morning class. Please get out your books." He said as he turned to the chalk board and started writing with a piece of chalk on it.
"Never had a ghost teach me before..." Taranee said with an eyebrow raised.
"Don't worry, he doesn't even know he's dead."
"Really? How horrible that must be."
"He is a great teacher, despite no one being able to stay awake through it."
Professor Binns started going on a lecture that lasted the whole class, Luna and Taranee seemed to be the only one able to keep their eyes open. Taranee was taking several notes throughout class.
Cornelia and Hannah walked to their next class together talking about random things, they had already brought their plant to their house. When they entered their class Cornelia was surprised to see so many random objects that she were sure weren't magical at all. "What class is this again?" She asked Hannah.
"Muggle Studies."
Something Cornelia knew would be easy as well as she had spent all her life living in that life. Her and Hannah sat in the second row of seats. A bunch of Slytherins started pouring in the class, the same blond haired boy from the train came in and saw Cornelia and smirked. "Well looky here, one of the five pests is in our class."
"Is that really the best you have? You should have your writer fired." She scoffed at him giving him a glare.
"Don't make me angry, Huffie."
"Or what? Gonna sick you lap dogs on me? Don't make me angry." She practically growled out. Something about him seemed to send all five W.I.T.C.H girls on a rage train.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with, I'll have my father make sure you and your family never see light again."
"And I can make sure you never see light again."
"Take a seat everyone." Professor Burbage said to break up the fight. Cornelia's eyes followed Draco as he sat in the seat behind her, her glare never lifting.
"We are going to learn about automobiles today. Does anyone know anything about them?" She asked the class. "Yes, Mr. Malfoy."
"They are ugly, they stink and a waist of space...oh...I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about Muggles." He smirked, his eyes burning the back of Cornelia's head.
"How inappropriate. Five points from Slytherin. Yes, Ms. Hale."
"They are a means of transportation for Muggles and run on a liquid called gas."
"Good. Five points to Hufflepuff." She smiled at Cornelia. "They are made of metal and rubber and are very heavy. They last a long time but need much upkeep. Today we will be learning the in's and out's of a automobile." She started lecturing.
They reached the top of the steps and saw stairs leading into what looked like an attic. Irma came up right behind Will and Harry, huffing and puffing. "Good god, you think all these wizard and witches would have been able to create an elevator to get to classes." Hay Lin laughed as she helped her friend stay up right.
"Why is class up there and not in a normal classroom?" Hay Lin asked.
"Because she's not normal. She a loony old bat." Ron laughed.
A few people glared at Ron when he said that. "A few students seem to believe her though, ludicrous." Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Well I'm eager to see how I will die." Will smiled, she knew if she was predicting Harry's death left and right, then her death would be very gory. They all climbed the stairs and sat at tables. Each set of three with each other.
Hay Lin saw the crystal ball in the middle of each table and laughed as she whispered to her friends. "This is going to be easy; my grandma showed me how to do this." She gave a big grin.
Will wasn't too interested really in actually doing it, she just wanted to see if the professor would pick up on anything they had. Not a minute passed after she thought that did Professor Trelawney appear in the classroom. "Good morning class, today we will be telling fortunes with the crystal ball." She smiled with her huge classes. Irma only giggled quietly as she heard another student call her a bug. Will glanced at Harry from the corner of her eye as she heard him curse under his breath. "You will be partnered up with someone and I have already decided who your partner will be, no free range this year." She said as she walked like she didn't have a care in the world up and down the rows of tables pointing out who is with whom. "Ms. Lin and Ms. Lair." Hay Lin and Irma high fived each other. "Mr. Wesley and Ms. Granger."
"What? But Ron is usually with Harry." Hermione protested, knowing she would be doing all the work now.
"Yes but that has never seemed to work, besides to good to get a fresh mind once in a while.' She smiled to her.
"Ms. Vandom..." She said using one hand to point to Will. "...and Mr. Potter." Using the other to point to Harry.
Will shrugged and smiled at Harry. She looked back to see an empty table and grabbed her bag and headed up to it, as did Harry. "Guess we're stuck with each other this term." Harry smiled to her, Will only returning it.
When professor Trelawney finished pairing up everyone she walked to the front of the class and quickly turned around, making a few students jump, she held her hands out beside her. "Toooday class..." She said in a spooky voice. "...you and your partner will look into each others future through the crystal ball. Your guide book should allow you to identify the things you see."
Hay Lin got out her book and started reading some of the things she could see. "This is just weird..." She laughed to her friend Irma.
"I got this Hay-Hay." Irma smirked and placed her hands on the crystal ball and threw her head back and closed her eyes. "I see...a black cat...a dormouse...and five fairies...fighting a giant snake...and egotistical manic and...oh wait, yes...I predict...all of them will live happily ever after." Irma brought her head back and laughed with Hay Lin.
Will rolled her eyes and laughed quietly at her friends joke. She saw Harry looking in the crystal ball. "I can never see anything but fog...this is such a waist of time..." He sighed and sat back.
"Let me try, I've never done this before." She said leaning forward and placing her right hand on the sphere. She felt heat rushing from her hand, the Heart was kept inside that hand and the fog in the crystal ball started moving. Her eyes opened as she leaned forward more. Harry noticed this and leaned forward as well. The fog slowly turned black and a scene started playing on it. A large snake appeared and quickly slithered away. A man with a snake like nose held a wand as he was draped in black and smirked so evil like, he held up his other hand that had the Heart of Meridian in it and crushed it in his hands and a light came from his wand towards Will but never left the ball. It frightened her and she jumped and let a scream out, the sphere instantly going back to normal the second her hand left it. She ended up moving so quickly she had jumped out of her chair and was now standing and breathing a little harder then normal.
The entire class, including professor Trelawney, was staring at her. "Are you alright, Will?" Harry asked concerned.
"What did you see, my dear?" Professor Trelawney asked anxiously.
Will snapped out of it and looked around, her face flushing from being in the spotlight. "Oh...um, I-it was nothing. I thought I saw a spider..."
"Spider?" Ron responded jumping up on his chair.
"Oh really, Ronald..." Hermione groaned and tried to pull him down to a sitting position.
Will sat back down and sighed, trying to slow her heart rate, her right hand was starting to burn from the heart reacting.
"Will...what did you see?" Harry asked as he whispered to her. He knew it wasn't a spider.
"I...I don't know..." She whispered back. "It was a man...he...he had..." Will's head instantly shot up. 'Elyon!' She yelled, as the two friends in her class covered there ears from the scream.
"Will...will?" Harry put his arm on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"
She looked at him with horror in her eyes. "I-I'm sorry...I have to go...talk to Dumbledore. We'll study tonight." With that she stood up holding her head. "Professor...I don't feel good..." She groaned.
"Oh my, do you need to go to the infirmary?" She asked worried, she seemed very interested in her. Will only nodded her head.
"We can take her, Professor." Hay Lin raised her hand.
"Yes, yes, hurry then, don't want you to fall ill."
Hay Lin and Irma gathered their things up, Hay Lin walked up to Will and put her arm on her back and walked her down to the doors. When they were all out of the classroom and out of ear shot, Will let go of her head and Hay Lin let go of her. "What's going on?" Hay Lin asked.
"Yea, I don't know what part of your ears is destroyed when someone screams to you mentally..." Irma said with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry...I saw something in the crystal ball...a guy...he had Elyon's Heart..." Will explained. Both friends gasped.
"We have to do something..." Hay Lin said worried about her friend.
"I know, we need to get to Dumbledore and tell him." Will said as she put her hands in front of her as pink sparkles came out and turned her invisible, the other two following suite. 'Taranee...Cornelia...you need to get out of class somehow, meet us at Dumbledore's office.'
'On the way.' Taranee answered.
'Thank god...I can't take being in the same room with this, Draco, kid anymore...' Cornelia groaned out.
Taranee and Cornelia were already at Dumbledore's office. Will, Hay Lin and Irma walked up to see their two friends waiting, they all became visible at once and startled Cornelia and Taranee. "Warn us next time, will ya?" Cornelia glared with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry, Corny." Irma smiled.
"So what's going on?" Taranee asked.
"Everyone open you minds." Will said as they all closed their eyes. Taranee's mind was the only one who could read other people's thoughts. She read Will's and saw what she did in the crystal ball, the others connected and able to see as well.
Everyone opened their eyes when it was done. "We have to get to her now!" Cornelia said concerned for her best friend.
"I know, but we can't just leave without telling someone. Who knows how long we will be gone, Dumbledore has to know." Will explained, though Cornelia wasn't thrilled with having to wait. "Let's hurry then." She said as she walked up to the door and went to knock, but before she did she heard voices talking.
"Professor, I mean this with the utmost care, but your students are lacking and your teachers are going to be watched by me from now on, orders from the Ministry." The voice giggled at the end of speaking. The voice was clearly recognizable as professor Umbridge.
A shiver went down Will's spine as the giggle came out. "If that is what the Ministry wishes. But if you will excuse me, I have other matters to get to. Let me show you out." He offered as foot steps could be heard coming towards the door.
Will looked back to her friends. "Hide." She whispered as all five of them were invisible and backed away from the door. The giant double doors opened to reveal the pink toad and a silver wizard.
"Please do take care, Daloris." Dumbledore smiled to her as she just turned around and walked away with her nose in the air. When she was out of ear shot he spoke again. "Hello girls." He turned in their direction and smiled. They all became visible again and looked at him nervously, afraid he would think they were spying. "Your powers are quite remarkable, you seem to be showing me new ones each time we meet."
"We are sorry for ease dropping, we didn't mean to we came here to-" Will was cut off.
"No need, Ms. Vandom. I know you weren't listening in. Let us continue this conversation in my office." He took a step back and held his hand out toward his office offering them to go first. They all walked in and watched him come in after them and closing the doors and walking up to his desk and sitting in his chair. "Now, what is it that has you come here?"
"Sir, it's our friend. I saw...a vision of sorts. A man was holding a jewel, that jewel is the Heart to a world called Meridian, one of the many worlds we protect." Will started explaining. "A Heart is the root to the worlds power." She opened her right hand and held it out straight as the heart of Kandrakar floated out." This is the Heart of Kandrakar. It's the root to our powers, Kandrakar is a world...more along the lines of 'Heaven' then a world. That jewel is the power source to the Light of Meridian, the queen."
"She is our friend, professor. She is my best friend, I've known her before we become guardians." Cornelia practically pleaded.
"I see. And you wish to go help her then?"
"We want to go to Meridian to make sure she is safe." Hay Lin answered.
"Well...it will be rather hard to explain to your professors where you have all gotten to."
"We have that covered. We can create Astral Drops, it's like a clone of us. They have the same memories that we have and are completely functional." Taranee explained.
"That is very interesting."
"We wanted you to know before we left." Will said with a strong, leader face on. They needed to get to Elyon fast.
"Yes, I thank you for that. I do want to suggest something to you. You say she has powers, like yourselves. Maybe to protect her it would be best if she attended school here."
All the eyes of the guardians opened wide and they all looked at each other. "That would be wonderful." Will smiled. They were all glad to be able to stay near her and be with their friend in school once more.
"Good, now then, may I ask a favor of you?"
"Anything, professor." Will answered.
"May I tag along? It would be better if she heard all the details from about the school. And I have a wish to see this other world." He had a slight grin on his face.
Will looked to her friends and back to him. "Gladly." She looked at the Heart as it began to spin. "Guardians...unite!" She yelled as light flew from it and surrounded the girls.
"Quintessence!"
"Water!"
"Fire!"
"Earth!"
"Air!"
The girls had changed into their older looking, blue, pink and green powers. Will held the Heart back out. "Astral Drops!" She yelled out and another light came out and formed an exact image of themselves before they changed. "Alright, we need you to take our place as students here at Hogwarts, you have our memories you know what to do." She sighed and turned to Dumbledore. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yes, yes." He stood up and walked over to the Astral drops and stared at them. "Amazing." He walked over to Hay Lin and Taranee who each took and arm. Will turned around, the Heart still stretched out. It seemed to glow and shine as a rip in the air appeared and made a gaping whole the seemed it be a whirling, light blue void of air.
"Let's go." Will said as she looked back to her friends and Headmaster.
