Chapter One
The Long Journey Ahead

Allen stared at the clock listening to every tick. The room was nicely cooled and calm. The flat screen wallpaper TV across from his bed had a sleep mode timer on. It turned itself off after a minute. Allen still hadn't moved. His three suitcases sat next to his bed. The door was directly ten feet away. Allen breathed slowly and calmly. He wasn't sure if he was ready to see the world. All the bad things he heard troubled him deeply. The war in America. Wizards being followed by drones and assassinated. Just last wake a mass murder took place in New York. No Death Eaters but fifty muggles and twenty wizards dead. Allen is very well aware those things happen almost everyday. He sat up and pulled out his wand. It was a thin wooden bent wand, with some black rubber at its end. It was 5 inches in length and with a Phoenix Feather as its core. He held it tightly, closing his eyes.
"Please...let her be alive. Let her be there." He whispered. He opened his eyes as his Mom and Dad stepped into the room.
"Allen...are you ready?" Luna Scamander asked stepping into the room. "What are you doing with your wand out, love?" She gave a smile. Allen looked at the wand then puts it down.
"I...I'm confused...mother." She sat on top of the suitcase in front of him. She nodded. "I just don't understand."
"Your father and I...we hated that decision. It haunted us for decades, son. But...It was a difficult time. So difficult, millions of wizards fled their countries. I guess fear...no matter how boastful you are...will always conquer all."
"Is that why we relocated here? From London?" Allen asked. His parents nodded. Luna gave him a warm hug. Allen sat there, starting to regret his decision. But it was too late. The Monorail train leaves within an hour downtown. The seat already reserved.
"Dumbledore once said..." Rolf started saying as he got on his knees, and looked at Allen in his eyes, "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times...when only one remembers to turn the light." He smiled and hugged Allen. "Before she went off, each and everyone of your siblings had the exact same wand." As his father leaned back Allen nodded. He stood up, bring his school books. "Okay...I'll do my best."
Allen put all his suitcases in the trunk. He got in the car with his bird cage next to him. Inside the cage was a Blakiston's Fish Owl. The largest owl in the world. Its dark brown and yellow feathered body matches the size of a small child, with wings that span to two meters in length. It hooted and whistled at Allen. "Oh, I'm guessing you're hungry, Allastar." Allen reached into his pocket and took out a small bag of chocolate insects and worms. He reached into the bag and pulled out a chocolate roach. He gave it to Allaster and it swallowed the roach in one gulp. Allen giggled as his parents got in the car.
"Are we all ready to go?" Rolf asked. "Whooot! Whoot Whoot Whooot!" Rolf turned around confused.
"Allen replied, "Well...there's your answer, Dad." Him and his parents laughed.
Luna turned the car on drove toward the Central Train Station. Allen looked outside admiring all the buildings and skyscrapers passing by. Then, he felt a great sadness cloud over him. He looked down for a moment. A bright yellow and orange light appeared just outside the window. He looked up and saw buildings on fire and witches and wizards trying to fly away on their broom sticks. Muggles running but to no avail. Everyone being lifted and sucked into the fire building. Allen put his hands on the window as the building collapsed on itself, and thirteen Dementors floated above the fire and debris. Allen quickly pulled out his wand as they swooped down. "Lumos Maxim!" He shouted. A bright ball of light shot out the wand, out the window towards the Dementors. The Dementors threw themselves into each other hitting the car and flipped over six times.
Allen woke up dizzy and in shock. He turned and saw he was laying on top of his bird cage. It took a while before Allen started hearing Allastar's hooting and people in the streets running and shouting. Allen pulled out his wand and climbed out the window. He reached back down and opened the bird cage. Allastar quickly jumped out of the car onto Allen's shoulder. He breathed heavily, looking around. No buildings were on fire or Dementers around. Allen jumped off the car and ran downtown.
Wizards and Witches took to the streets casting and summoning light to ward off the massive horde of Dementors. Cars were crashing into each other. Allen grabbed Allastar and hid behind a bush as a group of wizards shot fire out of their wands at a number of Dementors. They then ran forward and shot jets of blue and white lights. Allastar looked over Allen's shoulder and chirped. Allen looked at him then across the street. He saw Luna and Rolf warding off a Dementor. He got up and ran out onto the street. He aimed his wand at the Dementor and shouted, "Expecto Patronum!" A large bright light shot out of his wand and pushed all the Dementors on street back several yards. Luna turned and hugged Allen.
"You're alright! I was so worried!" Luna exclaimed.
"Great job on the patronus spell!" Rolf added. He then turned to Luna and saw her arm was deeply cut. Her skin turned purple and shook uncontrollably as the heat in it started to fade. "Oh no! You've must've been scratched when we were grabbed." He tore his sleeve off and wrapped it arm the wound. He put his hands on Luna's face and whispered, "I'll get you to Headmistress LaVean. She'll known what to do."
Allen looked down the street and saw the Dementors charging forward. They threw trucks, cars and clawed through any wizards and witches in their way. He turned to his Dad, "I think we should get moving now!" Rolf nodded. He stood up and held Luna in both arms.
"Okay son, I'm going to need you to run to the school. It's a couple blocks down. I'm right behind you!" Rolf demanded.
"But Dad there's no way that -"
"Listen to me! You know several spells. Use them don't hold back. Protect your mother and I." Rolf looked at the Dementors then back down at Allen. Allen slowly stood up and nodded. He closed his eyes as the Dementors draw closer and closer. Rolf held out his wand next to Luna's shoulder. Luna slowly held out her wand. The three focused on their happiest memory together. As a Dementor hurls a truck at them, Allen opened his eyes turned and shouted as long as he could, "Expecto Patronum!" Luna and Rolf shouted afterwards and a huge sphere of light appeared above them. It flattened and rippled throughout the entire neighborhood, disintegrating a large number of the Dementors. Allen ran out into the street with Rolf behind him. The remaining Dementors were knocked down onto the side walks and buildings unable to fly. As Allen and Rolf passed by they shot jets of blue light at them to keep them incapacitated. They ran through several blocks before coming across a bridge with a river down below. The school gates straight across. Allen looked up and saw a large castle in the distance beyond the shallow forest.
"We won't make it through the forest." Allen exclaimed.
Rolf nodded, "We don't need to..." He assured. He slowly got on his knees and sat Luna next to him.
"Hold out your wand deary...the school is on high alert. So the forest is on defense mode. Any Dementor or Death Eater who tries to go through gets obliterated by a powerful magic hidden in the ground." Luna explains calmly. She started to breathe heavily as she struggles to lift up her wand. Rolf helps lift her arm up. Both their wands lit up.
"Okay son...we'll be in the school this way." Allen nodded. He looked at the gate and held his wand up. The school's three watchtowers roof lit up. "They see us." Rolf exclaimed. The three disapparited and appeared in Headmistress' office.
Allen fell face first onto the floor. "Ow!" Luna and Rolf landed on the floor perfectly next to each other. She looked over at Allen and asked, "Are you okay, deary?" Allen raised a thumbs up. Rolf and Luna giggled.
"How could it have come to this?" Headmistress whispered while sitting by the large window, over looking the forest and the town. Allen looked up at her then around her office. It was a large room with red and orange colors on the ceiling and walls. There were plenty of owls in cages circling the room. The floor was wooden and above were red and orange cloths hanging from wall to wall. Allen looked at Headmistress and asked, "What do you think this means, madam?"
"This cannot be random attacks, Headmistress." Rolf said, helping Luna to stand. "An army of Dementors...no sign of Death Eaters. How did they multiply? Who sent them?" Headmistress stood up and looked at the three. She walked by her desk. She looked distressed and exhausted. Her red and orange robe turned a shade darker.
"I fear someone has weakened the city defensive barrier. The whole city maybe vulnerable now." Headmistress LaVean informed. "We are going to need Dumbledore's Army to help assist us. You two must go board the train at the city capitol." She looked at Luna's arm and held her hand above it. "I can heal the wound, but the poison can only be aided with a potion until it subsides."
"How long does it take for it to subside, madam?" Allen asked. Headmistress looked at Luna and Rolf with a stern look.
"Without a potion she'd only a week to live. The potion will weaken the poison, and give half her strength back. It should subside within a couple of months." Rolf looked down as Luna nodded. LaVean went to her cabinet and grabbed a box full of the cure potion. She gave it to Rolf. "You two must be off now. Go get aid."

Allen looked as Luna and Rolf waved goodbye, left the room and the doors closed behind them. Headmistress walked over and sat at her desk. "Headmistress...do you have a task for me?" He asked approaching her.
"Allen, you smart...talented young boy. Privileged student, who surpassed every challenge given here... At the Royal Aurorian Academy." She exclaimed cheerfully.
"Well...I did do an awful lot of complaining." Allen said jokingly. Headmistress giggled. She then reached down and grabbed a huge pointy hat. She put it on her head.
"You have a long journey ahead of you, Allen Scamander." Allen nodded. "One that dwarfs the personal fight between Voldemort and Harry Potter. This is far boarder, far grander. With serious centuries lasting consequences." Headmistress began explaining.
"So it isn't Voldemort, or Grindelwald who's come back? Allen asked curiously.
"No. The Death Eaters seem to have merged with out of this world beings. They seem to be thinking and planning towards a goal. What that goal is...we do not know." Headmistress answered.
Allen's eyes widened. He then slowly shook his head confused. "What? I don't understand. Why would they bond with these beings?"
Headmistress explained further, "They seem to have a power so desirable, so far into darkness, it was irresistible to even Death Eaters. They call themselves, Organization XIII. They've formed a pack with Dementors, making them servants."
Allen looked down. Allaster materialized from the wall closest to him and landed beside his feet. Allen looked at the owl then pulled out his wand. He held it out in front of him. Headmistress continued, "However there is a possible solution to this war. And one of the key persons for it, is you, Allen Scamander." Allen nodded. "You will be aided by another family member and several persons from the outside worlds. You will find their fantastical and strange powers will help turn the tide in this fight. Thread carefully, with every decision you make because the world will be watching you seven lights."
"Seven? Do you know the- wait... so it'll be five I'll find. And...my sister! Is she okay." Allen exclaimed, trying to take in all information. Headmistress nodded. Allen jumped up with excitement. "But..." Allen looked and stood straight. "She is treading on very thin ice. Crossing undesirable paths for one born in the light. You must level with her for she has felt great pain."
"Yes madam LaVean." Allen said taking heed from her words. "What do I do now?"
"Go to Hogwarts...there you will find them...and there...you will find the way." She assured. She raised her hands up and clapped. The Hat of the All Knowing turned on fire and shrunk. It fell off LaVean's head as she looked at Allen. "Okay sonny off you go."

Allen slowly walked by on the side walk approaching the stairs for the train, while watching Wizards pass by with their Unicorns and horses. Muggles stormed the stairs and board the train. Allen stood by the stairs and sat down next to the wall. Allastar standing his shoulders looked at him. "Whoot! Whoot!" Allen looked at him and asked, "Could you do something for me?" Allastar nodded. "Could go look for the train for Scotland." The owl nodded, jumped on Allen's head and leaped into the air. It spread its long wings out and flew inside the station. A policeman walk to Allen and said, "I'm sorry sir this train is only for cattle and muggles." Allen looked up at him and nodded, "Okay I'll look for the next on." He stood up and walked by the stairs still flooded with muggles.
Allen heard his owl hoot. It echoed through the station. He looked down the long line of trains and saw a sign that read Scotland, which was the last train. He ran through crowds and crowds of people as Allastar continued to hoot. When he approached the train, it whistled and slowly started to move. Allen and Allastar got through the doors just in time before they closed and locked. He was in the last train car. The cars had consistent colors of red and orange. The hallways were very thin with only enough room for one person to walk through. The seats were housed in glass doors that could be slid open, and a large square window sat across from it. A conductor opened a glass door in front of him and asked, "You sir...what year are you?"
"Me?" Allen exclaimed confused. "I'm uh... seventh year."
The conductor nodded, thinking he could be lying but does not really care. "You're up front then, this last car is for owls only."
"Oh okay." Allen said as he sat Allastar down inside a square cage. "He's a Blakistoni bird please be careful."
"Go on get now." The conductor shouted rudely. Allen nodded and hurried to the third train car with the seventh year students. He picked a random room, opened it and sat down. To his shock in front of him were two girls about the same age as him. One had Ravenclaw robe on and the other Gryffindor.
"Uh hi...I'm Allen. I'm new at Hogwarts." He said awkwardly. The two girls slowly waved. They didn't know what to say at first neither did he. The girl in Ravenclaw robes smiled and sat up straight. Allen feeling unease started to shake a bit then opened his mouth and whispered, "Interesting robes you're wearing."
"Um...yeah they're our houses. Minerva is Gryffindor and I'm a Ravenclaw." The girl in the blue robes said. "Ravenclaws are hard working individuals who value knowledge over all. And Gryffindors are the brave and daring house." She added.
"Okay I see... I know very little of Hogwarts actually. I've been here in Aurora all my life basically." Allen informed.
Minerva with the gryffindor robes on became irritate and exclaimed and in angry tone, "Are we not going to talk about this...We have to the entire city just got attacked!"
Isabella put her hand on Minerva's mouth and whispered, "Keep your voice down! They could be listening." She turned to the door and saw the conductor's shadow pass by. She then put her hand down and looked at Allen. "You'll have to forgive her...she's a bit shaken after what's happened."
Allen nodded, "We all are... however I don't think it's a coincidence that its a random attack." He quickly turned and opened the door. He peeked out to see if anyone was near by. He then leaned back into the seat, closed it and locked it. He walked to the window and closed the blinds. He sat down at his seat in front of the two.
"Is it true..." Minerva asked concerned. "Is it..."
"No... definetely not. Would've shown up by now. It's... Can I trust you two? How can I trust you two not to say anything."
"I wanted to know for a long time, newbie." Isabella said.
"And I want to fight..." Isabella added, "But no one has had any answers for a long time...even Headmistress McGonagall has no idea."
"Its..." Allen started to say but couldn't put it into words. "Its...not what you think... There is an alliance. The Death Eaters are...definitely...umm." The train started reaching its max speed. The girls held onto their seats while Allen was pushed against the wall. "Woah!"
"Oh this is one of the fastest monorail train in the world. Thanks to magic and technology." Isabella explained. Allen nodded. "You know what...tell us when we get to Hogwarts." Minerva sighed, rolling her eyes. "Okay fine..." She said with an attitude.
"So, what's the reason for coming to Hogwarts, newbie?" Isabella asked Allen. She gave a little confident smile. Her hair were a mix of grey and white. She had light blue eyes. Allen, upon looking at her developed a type of feeling he hadn't experienced, but after a while it went away, once her remembered his sister.
"I'm looking for my long lost sister." He explained. "She's been at Hogwarts all this time without me knowing. It's a bit of a shocker, but in light of the current situation the world jumped into...I can see why it had to be done." He sighed and remembered that she was on thin ice. He turned and put his legs on the seat towards the window. "I've only heard things...not see them."
"Takes a lot of bravery to do something like that. Even if she is alive...what are the chances of a proper reunion?" Isabella said, looking down at her fingers then back at him. Some hair covering her right eye.
"My mother said, all my siblings have the exact same core... and that we are all connected." Allen explained smiling a bit. "She'd tell me stories of how us Scamanders have a thing for mystical creatures."
"Scamander? You...You're great grandfather is Newt Scamander? He wrote Fantastic Beasts?" Isabella exclaimed surprised. Allen calmly nodded. "With a big name like that I'm sure you'll find her. But you realize you're leaving your safe zone..."
Allen shook his head, then turned to the window. "There are no safe zones, not anymore." Isabella nodded. She yawned, feeling very tired. "How much further is it to the school?" Allen asked.
"We take some stops along the way." Isabella explained, laying her on Minerva's shoulder. "But this is the fastest train ever built so it'll take about 20 hours to get there." Allen nodded.
Several hours later, the train arrived at Dumbledore's Army Combat Academy. Allen, Minerva and Isabella wake up when the train came at a complete halt. Allen looked outside then at the others. "First stop?" He asked. Minerva nodded smiling, "We're at DACA." she replied. Her and Isabella opened the glass doors to the hallway. The hallway was crowded with students pushing and shoving each other trying to get off.
"One at a time children!" The conductor shouted.
Isabella turned around to Allen, "Have you been here before?" She asked with excitement. Allen looked back at her and shook his head then back through the window. The train station had chrome floors with no walls in sight neither a ceiling. Above were white puffy clouds. The students rushed towards the glass doors that were closed. Allen, Minerva and Isabella slowly made their way through the crowd holding hands. Ron Weasley with a yellow jacket and glasses on grabbed Allen's arm. They disappeared and appeared on the other side of the glass doors.
"Woah!" Allen exclaimed catching his balance. "Isabella...Minerva? Which one of you did that!"
"Ron?" Minerva shouted. Ron turned to her and quickly covered her mouth with his hand. "Shh, I'm undercover. Which one of you is Allen?" He whispered. Isabella cleared her throat. Minerva and her pointed at Allen. He looked at Ron surprised.
"Ronald...Weasley?" Allen mumbled. "We need to talk...like right now."
"Allen...how much do you know?" Isabella asked.
"Plenty..." Two more people apparited in front of the four. Allen looked and saw Luna and Rolf. He ran to them and hugged them. "Mom...Dad, you made it!"
Ron smiled and whispered, "Certainly seems like a normal kid..." Luna looked forward at Ron and waved. He waved back. "Harry and Hermoine are up stairs with the plans. Almost done." Rolf and Luna walked him.
"Me and Rolf will be ready to start in the U.N. They're still waiting on our response." Luna replied. Isabella and Minerva stood beside Allen. He turned to them and they looked at him.
"I'll tell you...If you promise not to tell anyone." He whispered. The Isabella and Minerva nodded.
