Hermione Jean Granger-Weasley, head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Ministry of Magic, England was a very talented witch. To be more precise, a very talented witch who sometimes got brainwaves needing to be attended to immediately. This time, Hermione Apparated to Hogsmeade village. Ignoring the welcoming, bright Three Broomsticks Inn, where Hermione was a frequent customer, she walked into Honeydukes. Instead of admiring the many displays of various Wizarding sweets, she made her way to the cellar and tapped her wand against the hidden trapdoor, which sprung open. Hermione descended down it and walked through the tunnel for several minutes before she reached a statue of a one-eyed witch. This particular statue, however, was in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 

With long, purposeful strides, Hermione walked to the Headmaster's office and stood in front of the gargoyle, who snarled sleepily. 

"Miss Granger! It's been so long since you've visited, I thought you forgot all about me," the gargoyle drawled. 

"I'm sorry, Philius, but I really have important business with the Headmaster, do you mind opening up?" Hermione asked kindly.

"Don't we all have important business with the Headmaster? That's all they all want. Open up! Open up! Nobody ever asks about dear old Philius . . ." he continued.

"Oh for Merlin's sake, mimbulus mimbletonia!" Hermione yelled, in a temper. Without further ado, the door to the office opened and Hermione strode in, knocking on the door. 

"Enter!" a muffled voice said.

Hermione opened the door to see the current Headmaster of the School and one of her closest friends, Neville Longbottom. A stout, round boy in his days at Hogwarts, he had grown to be a well-built young man who had returned to Hogwarts to teach Herbology after the retirement of Pomona Sprout and had then taken over the post of Headmaster from the then-Headmistress Minerva McGonagall. 

"Hey, 'Mione! It's been ages!" Neville said, offering Hermione a chair. "Did one of the students try to send a Howler to the Ministry again?" 

"No, no, it's not that. I really need to take a look in the library. It's really urgent, do you mind?" Hermione asked distractedly. 

"Hermione, is everything alright? Don't you have a library at the Ministry? Why do you need ours?" Neville asked, perplexed. 

"I need to access the Restricted Section. There was this one book I read, I really need it."

"Of course, go right ahead. Tell Madam Pince that I give you the full permit."

"Thanks, Neville. Do come around for dinner sometime. Teddy's been missing you. I swear, you and Hannah are like a second father to him."

With that, Hermione turned on her heel and walked the familiar path towards the Hogwarts library. When she reached, she went up to Madam Pince, the librarian.

"Madam Pince, I need to access the Restricted Section. The Headmaster has given me the full permit. " Hermione said.

Madam Pince looked down the list, checked off Hermione's name and opened the door to the Restricted Section. Hermione went down the long rows of books, looking for that one book she had read during her students days at Hogwarts . . . 

"Most Potente Potions! Here, I got it!" Hermione grabbed the book off the shelf. Memories of her making the Polyjuice Potion for the first time made her nostalgic. Flipping through the pages, Hermione found the page she was looking for. 

Fairy Dust: A potent substance used by the Clementia Fairies of the Homines Realm (famously the Order of Light and the Winx), parallel to ours. The only known portal exists at Tir Nan Og Island, where the author found traces of this exquisite dust and used it to create the Confinement Potion which can bring any memory to be confined in its source and stopped from possessing any object or being. For more information on the Homines Realm and the Clementia Fairies, refer to the unpopular, discredited book People like Us by goblin Cammuck the Crazy. 

Finally! A breakthrough! Hermione finally remembered where she had read about the fairies of Tir Nan Og island. When she had informed Harry about the fairies of Tir Nan Og, she had forgotten where she had gotten the information from. Perhaps if she could find this book by Cammuck the Crazy, she would be able to find a way to travel between the worlds and bring peace and harmony between them. 

Hermione pulled out her wand and said, "Accio People Like Us!" 

Hermione felt a great tugging at her wand and suddenly, she was pulled through the air as fast as light and with a light pop, she disappeared.

Roxy could not believe that her vacation on Tir Nan Og had taken such a drastic turn. What was supposed to be a peaceful, relaxing vacation had turned into a storm of 'are we going to die?'. Roxy also couldn't believe the fact that there was a dimension full of good witches and wizards. Wanting to find more information on them, she made her way to the search engine at the Alfea library. Placing her hand on the search engine, she said, 

"Harry Potter!" 

Not one book descended from the shelves. Roxy did not give up, though. Placing her hand on it again, she said, "Wizards!" 

What seemed like a hundred books descended upon Roxy. Perplexed, she used a hand to send them back into their bookshelves. 

"Tir Nan Og Island!" 

One book descended from the shelves, titled People Like Us by Cammuck the Crazy. Wondering whether she should trust the words of a person called Cammuck the Crazy, Roxy opened the book. 

The first page of the book was completely empty, with just an imprint of a human hand on it. Hesitantly, Roxy placed her hand to match it. Immediately, the book started to glow and the pages flipped. Looking at the first page, Roxy began to read.

Although most Earth fairies of the earlier days were aware of this, the younger generations do not seem to believe that the island of Tir Nan Og is a portal between the Clementia and Homona realms. Both realms contain humans with no magical abilities, but both realms are inhabited with their own Magical creatures. The Clementia Realm, also known as Magix, is home to human-like fairies who perform magic mostly without wands. Besides the fairies of Alfea, there is also the Red Fountain School for Wizards. The Cloud Tower school for Witches was founded recently by three evil ancestral witches who travelled from the Homona realm, and use the school to train their descendants as well as any witch who choses to join their path. Meanwhile, the Homona realm is inhabited by various magical animals and creatures as well as witches and wizards trained in schools all around the realm. There are only two known portals between the two realms, one being the one at Tir Nan Og Island and the other-

Before Roxy could finish reading, a great white light filled the library and a witch in black robes with bushy hair landed on the floor with a loud thud. 

With a glance back her book, Roxy re-read the sentence. 

There are only two known portals between the two realms, one being the one at Tir Nan Og island and the other between the libraries of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Alfea School for Fairies.
