How we Became Wizards and Saved the World

*explanation*
We were walking along the drag, and talking about how we really, really, REALLY wished we were wizards. Then we decided that we really are wizards, but, "we could go crazy believing that". Then we spotted a dollar bill on the ground and both reach out to get it, only to feel that "not-so-familiar" tug behind our navels. Suddenly, we are in DIAGON ALLEY. "Whoa there." "Well, if this is a dream, we might as well make the most the most of it." So we went to Gringotts, and we are so cool and know how to exchange our money because we read the books :p Then we went to Ollivander's. "I've been expecting you two..." "You have?" "Yes, but it's not my place to tell you." "Um... okay. Can we have wands though?" "Of course." So we got our wands. Deciding we can't get into too much trouble, we sample a spell on some leaves. "Wingardium LevioSA!" Just a real couple of Hermiones, ne? Anyway, then we go to Quality Quidditch supplies and gawk at the Firebolt. And then there's a voice: "I thought I would find you two here." "Mr. Professor Dumbledore Headmaster Sir!?" "Yes, that is whom you are speaking to." We are muchos confused. "I supposed you want to know why you are here." We nodded. "Well, first of all, you are not muggles." "Well, why didn't we get letters?" "Because then we were at peace. But desperate times cause for desperate measures." "But..." "No more questions. We must be off to Hogwarts." So we go by floo powder from the Leaky Cauldron to Dumbledore's office. There we are sorted into Gryffindor. McGonagall takes us to our common room and introduces us as "Permenant American Visitors." So here's out story.

***sidenote: the 2nd book never happened, which makes Harry and his friends in their 4th year. Percy, the twins, and Oliver Wood are in our year. Why? Because we can do that.***

 


   Monday, September 02, 2002  
Usually, on the first day of school, I would be too excited to be drowsy. And although this was wizard school, that one thing remained the same. Clara had shaken me awake, and I seriously hadn't been too reluctant to get up. It was amazing.

"I took the liberty of fishing through your trunk to find your robes, books, bookbag, and your wand," she said once I had sat up.

And so she had. Brand new black robes were lying on a chair by the window, and a brown, sort of worn, messenger bag was on top of them. It looked as though it were already full of books.

"Here," she handed me my wand. I looked down at it and ran my fingers over it several times. It was official. I was a wizard.

"Hey, hey! Lauren, Clara!" We turned around, looking to see who was calling our names. Harry and Ron were sitting at the end of the Gryffindor table, waving us over.

"You have any better ideas?" I asked Clara, in response to her 'do we have to?' look.

She shrugged, and then off we went to join the younger Hogwarts students. I was about to sit down, when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I looked up.

"Oh, hey, Oliver." I tried very, very, VERY hard not to sound too excited.

"Heya Lauren. This is Percy," he motioned to the redhead standing next to him.

I nodded to acknowledge him. Must have looked pretty funny; I was half sitting, half standing, eyes wide open. Clara grabbed my arm and sat me down.

"Pull up a chair," she offered Percy and Oliver the seats next to her, as she forced Ron to scoot down.

"Sure," Oliver agreed, and suddenly I was eating breakfast with someone I had only dreamed and read about.
