Harry said, "I'm suprised you're here this early."
Hagrid replied, "Professor Dumbledore thought it would be a good idea if we arrived a couple weeks early. He wanted to give Ron and Hermione a chance to see your world for a little bit."
Harry nodded. "I understand. Well, I was going to head over to Xoana this week. I wanted to take a glance at the Book of Xoana."
Luna came out of the back room with a large slab of meat in one hand. She heard that last bit and smiled at Harry.
"I don't see the problem," Luna said. "Just take them with you. If you'll pardon me, I have to feed my dog, Spot. By the way Harry, congratulations on getting your Color."
Harry lowly muttered to himself, "Pansy? I'm going to force Pellins to have gas by forcing a Bomb di Wynn down his throat. Harry the Pansy"
Hermione looked at Harry, "What did you say?"
Harry shook his head. "Nothing important. At any rate, let's go to Xoana."
Hermione asked, "That was a lot of meat for one dog."
Chuckiling, Harry replied, "Spot is a very big dog. It's a long story. His original name was Dilgear, but Luna renamed him Spot. I might tell you the full story sometime."
The three from Hogwarts shrugged and shook their heads.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
A few days after they left Zephila, Harry and company were in Xoana. In the center of a town square, they spotted several large men lying unconscious around a statue. Harry took a look around and spotted the front of a tavern that had been blown out by some sort of blast. Seeing a person behind a counter, Harry went in.
"What happened here?" Harry asked the Innkeeper.
The Innkeeper snorted amusedly and replied, "A standard bar fight broke out and spilled a young girl's food. She was a little upset about that and let them know it by blowing them out of the tavern with some sort of spell. She ended the fight by doing something to that statue out there. Other than those two spells, she fought bare handed. How can such a small girl be so strong?"
Harry nodded and returned to his friends.
"What was that all about?" Ron asked.
"Oh," Harry replied. "Just confirming my suspicions that my sister Lina would be here."
Hermione asked, "Huh?"
Harry pointed to the thugs lying on the street. "Lina did that. She does get physically violent at times."
"Uh, right," Hermione replied.
"Well, let's get to the castle. We might see my sister there."
The four of them made their way to the castle, just as it was rocked by several explosions. They watched in shock as a large tower crumbled. A small girl leaped onto thedestroyed ruble, carrying a decent sized guy with here.
The girl exclaimed, "I'm here to rescue you, Amelia!"
The king blurted out, "Wh-wha? Who is this girl?"
The girl flipped her hair back and stated, "Although it's a little presumtuious of me to say. I'm the beautiful young sorcery genius Lina Inverse!"
Harry rolled his eyes at that. "No need to look for Sis after all."
Gourry tugged on Lina's cloak.
"What is it Gourry? Can't you see I've got a good thing going here."
Pointing, Gourry replied, "Never mind that. I think you blew up Amelia as well."
Lina went over to a large bell that had two legs sticking out from underneath it. She shook the bell slightly.
"Are you okay?"
The bell shattered, and Amelia shouted her reply, "No, I am not. Miss Lina, how coud you?"
"Sorry," Lina replied. "It's been a while since I used my full power."
Ron stared. "That's her full power?"
Harry shook his head. "Nope. The city is still intact."
Hermione said, "Don't joke about things like that."
The four of them went back to watching the scene and saw that the king and his daughter were terrified.
"Lina Inverse?! You mean the walking force of destruction! The girl who leaves wreckage and chaos wherever she goes! The natural enemy of all who live! The dragon spooker!"
Lina shouted, "Give it a rest!"
Hermione asked in a choked whisper, "What? What was all that about?"
Harry waved his firends away from the upcomming battle.
Harry laughed to himself a bit, as he answered Hermione's question.
"Sis has a slight reputation."
Seeing the stares that he was being given, Harry stared at the sky.
"Okay. Lina has an extreme reputation."
Ron asked, "Dragon spooker? How do you spook a dragon?"
Taking a glance over to the fight. Harry saw that all of the guards were down and Lina was facing off against some swordsman. She held up a book and said something that caused the man to spin around and point his sword at the king's throat. Shaking his head, Harry returned to the conversation.
"A while back, Lina faced off against several dragons. I think it was around twenty. She stood in front of all the dragons and introduced herself."
Hermione stared in shock. "And, she won against that many dragons?"
Grimacing, Harry said, "Um. No. After hearing who they were facing, the dragons ran away in terror."
Hagrid said, "You have to be joking."
