Camp Pure-Blood
--Prompt by Fierrochasedabest--
THIS IS MY FOURTH TRY UPLOADING THIS AND THE OTHER CHAPTER LETS T R Y A G A I N
"There are thousands of different dimensions in this expansive universe we live in," Snape's low voice says as he walks around the classroom. "Today you will attempt to see into one of these. You will be put into pairs and making a potion to enable you to see another dimension."
"Sounds like Trelawney shit," Harry mutters. Hermione snorts.
"I will list off partners now. Granger and Longbottom. Finnigan and Malfoy. Thomas and Potter. Parkinson and Weasley. Zabini and Lovegood. You may begin. Instructions are on the board."
Seamus and Ron sigh at their partners, and everyone takes their seats.
Dean looks very confused as he randomly adds ingredients.
"We don't have to drink this, do we?" he asks quietly. Harry shrugs.
"I forgot wolfsbane. I'll be right back." Dean stands up and walks across the class.
Hermione happens to turn around and see Harry's potion. She gasps.
"Harry, it's not supposed to be green!"
Blaise and Luna, who are sitting next to Neville and Hermione, turn around as well.
"Shit, Potter, you fucked up," Blaise mutters. "You might wanna back up."
Ron and Pansy, who are sitting next to Harry and Dean, look over. Ron looks confused and Pansy looks worried.
Harry notices Seamus, who is across the room, has been abandoned by his partner. A second later, Draco sits down next to him.
"I think if you add the wolfsbane and some moth wings, you should be fine, but you might want to stay away from it to be safe."
Harry frowns. "Why would I trust you?"
Draco shrugs, and turns away. "Suit yourself."
Harry notices his cauldron bubbling. "Er, Draco...?"
Draco turns around and his eyes go wide. He barely has time to shout "Back up!" before the potion explodes, covering everyone in the vicinity.
***************
Harry groans as he sits up, and studies his surroundings.
Draco is laying next to him, unconscious. Hermione, Neville, Blaise, and Luna are a few feet in front of him, starting to wake up. Ron and Pansy are to his left, sitting up slowly.
And they're not in their classroom.
Pansy is at his side before Harry can even comprehend what's happening, and she's shaking Draco's shoulders.
"Draco, wake up," she says in an impossibly gentle voice.
"Why is he still out?' Harry asks groggily.
"Draco is prone to fainting. He has very low blood sugar levels, and he hasn't eaten much today. He also doesn't have his insulin pump. We were late this morning."
"Well, summon it," Harry says.
"In case you haven't noticed, dumbass, we don't have our wands."
Harry instantly reaches for his wand, only to realize it's not there.
"Fuck," he whispers.
"Your potion transported us to another place," Blaise says, standing. "Can't you feel it? There's magic in the air here, but it's different."
"This can't be another dimension," Neville adds.
"Close enough," Hermione says, pointing.
In the distance, on an island far from the group, is the Statue of Liberty.
"Welcome to America," Hermione says.
***********
"New York?" Blaise asks. "How did we even end up here?"
Harry shrugs, helpless.
Draco is a little further away from them, head in his hands. He's sitting on the ground, and Harry doesn't need to ask to know he feels awful.
"Are you guys okay? You look lost."
Harry looks up to see a blonde girl wearing a baseball cap, accompanied by a blonde boy and a black-haired boy.
"Maybe. Who are you?" Harry asks.
"Annabeth Chase. A pleasure to meet you."
**********
After Harry's group has introduced themselves, the black-haired boy says his name is Nico and the blonde says his name is Will. Harry notices they stand very close to each other, although they seem to have completely different personalities.
"Your friend isn't doing well," Will remarks.
"No shit," Pansy replies. She's tense, and obviously doesn't trust their present company.
"He needs insulin. And food."
"How do you know that?" Ron asks. "We didn't tell you."
Wil tenses slightly, and looks at Annabeth. "I need to help him."
"Don't go anywhere near him," Pansy threatens.
"How can you help him?" Luna asks.
Will looks concerned. "Just let me try."
Luna nods, and holds Pansy's arm as Will walks up to Draco.
"Don't fucking touch me," Draco mutters.
"I'm sorry. I'm only here to help." Will touches Draco's head, and after a minute, Draco relaxes and collapses. Will gently catches him and rests him on the grass.
"The hell was that?" Harry asks angrily.
"He's only sleeping," Will says.
"How did you do that?" Harry asks.
Will looks uncomfortable. "I don't know how to tell you this, but... Magic is real."
"Well obviously, but how did you do it so well wandless?" Ron asks.
Annabeth and Nico exchange shocked looks, and Will gapes.
**********
"British wizards," Nico murmurs.
"And witches," Annabeth adds. Hermione smiles.
"So how are you gonna alakazam yourselves back there without your wands?" Nico asks. "I can't shadow-travel that far in a day."
Harry doesn't bother to ask what shadow-traveling is.
"We don't know," Hermione replies.
"Well, you would probably like to rest," Annabeth says. "We have a camp about a half-mile from here. You'll be safe there."
"We're safe here," Harry says warily.
"Maybe for now," Will replies.
"We don't know how it works in Britain, but here it's very dangerous to be magical and outside of camp," Annabeth adds.
"Then why were you outside?" Blaise asks.
"Our camp alarms went off. You guys disturbed the barriers," Annabeth explains.
"How does that work?" Hermione asks, interested.
"I'd love to explain, but if we could get back to camp first, that would be great," Annabeth replies.
Harry nods, picking up a sleeping Draco, and they start walking.
**************
After about ten minutes of walking, they approach a large campground area, full of teenagers running about and doing various activities.
"Annabeth!" A boy with black hair similar to Harry's, but with blue eyes, rushes up to them. "Who are they?"
"They're... magicians, of sorts. From Britain. They were transported here on accident," Annabeth responds.
The boy frowns at them slightly. "Hey, I'm Percy. Son of Poseidon. Who are your godly parents?"
"I'm sorry, our what?" Pansy asks.
Annabeth sighs. "They don't have godly parents. I'll explain later, it's fuckin weird."
Percy shrugs. "Alright. Um... Is he okay?"
Harry glances down at Draco, who is still in his arms.
"He's sleeping," Will explains. "Speaking of, Harry, if you could bring Draco with me, we can get him some medical attention."
"In the meantime, Annabeth, would you mind teaching me about your barriers?" Hermione asks.
"Sounds good. Percy, partner them each up with Jason, Leo, Piper, Hazel, and Frank. Give them a quick explanation."
Percy nods, grinning and kissing her on the cheek lightly. "Come along, kids!"
"We're like, the same age!" Pansy protests, following him.
Harry follows Nico and Will to a large tent area.
Inside there's dozens of stretcher-like beds, with injured kids on them. Gashes in their legs, cuts on their faces, you name it.
"The hell happened?" Harry asks, horrified.
"Basic training," Will replies with a grin.
"I'm never coming back to America," Harry says.
Will laughs. "Be glad you haven't met Clarisse."
Nico elbows him, a slight grin tugging at his lips. "That's rude, Will."
"What? She didn't hear me! You can lay him down here."
Harry lays Draco down on one of the beds.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Wil asks.
"What?" Harry shouts, shocked. "Absolutely not! We're enemies!"
"Enemies don't look at each other like that," Nico replies easily, leaning against Will.
Harry frowns. "Even if I didn't hate him, he hates me."
"I notice your only problem with that was that it's him, not that we thought you're gay," Will replies, an easy grin crossing his lips.
Harry pauses for a moment. "Huh. Guess so."
"Sometimes it takes a cross-country journey with a guy to realize you're gay," Nico says grinning. "That's what it took for me."
Harry raised his eyebrows, looking between him and Will.
"Nah, it wasn't me," Will replies to his unspoken question with ease. "It was Percy for a loooong time. Now it's me."
Nico nods, smirking at the blonde.
"Jesus Christ, you literally look like mirror couples," a girl says, stepping into the room with Pansy.
Nico glances down at Draco, and laughs. "You're not wrong, Piper."
"It's creepy," Pansy comments. "Especially with how obsessed Draco is with Potter. If you'd catch up and realize your stupid feelings, it would be exactly the same," she said, poking Harry in the arm.
"We were actually just discussing that," Will says, smirking. Nico pokes him. "What? She already outed her friend."
Pansy's eyes sweep around the room, before resting back on harr. "Interesting."
"Oh, you two have a bond for sure," Piper says, eyes flicking between Draco and Harry.
"How do you know?" Harry asks, shocked.
"Think of it as her superpower," Pansy replies. "It's how I think of it."
Piper shrugs, and nods.
"Alright, I'll tell Draco I like him when you tell Hermione you like her," Harry replies, smirking.
"Ooooo," Nico mutters. "Tea."
"That's the tea sis," Will mutters, laughing as Nico elbows him with a grin on his face.
"Deal." Pansy extends her hand, and Harry shakes it.
Draco chooses this moment to wake up.
"What the fuck!" he shouts, sitting up straight. "Where am I? Who are you?"
"Draco, chill, they're friends," Pansy replies, placing a soothing hand on Draco's shoulder.
"Where are we?"
"America," Harry replies. "Accidental Potions mishap."
"I told you to add wolfsbane and moth wings," Draco complains.
Haryr shrugs, a slight grin on his face. Pansy elbows him, and points at Draco. Harry sighs.
"What's going on?" Draco asks, eyes darting between the two of them.
"Me and Pansy had a deal that we would both tell our crushes we like them," Harry replies slowly, wincing at his own words.
"What does that have to do with me?"
Pansy snorts.
"I like you," Harry replies, rolling his eyes. "There. Can I go now?"
"You may," Pansy says, grinning. Harry rushes out of the tent.
"What the fuck?" Draco asks, shocked.
"Now's the part where you go after him, dumbass," Will says, grinning.
Draco stares at him for aminute before jumping out of his bed and running after Harry.
"Harry!" he shouts, rushing after the other boy.
Harry stops, and turns. His face is bright red with embarassment.
"I like you too, idiot," Draco breathes out.
Harry's faces relaxes, and he smiles. "Do you really?"
Draco nods, and Harry hugs him tightly.
"I hate to break up this precious moment, but Hermione has thought of a way to get us home," Annabeth says from a few feet away.
Harry grins. "Coming!"
********************
Soon the group was in a full circle, each holding the hand of the person next to them.
"Channel your magical energy," Annabeth said, stepping a few feet away from the group. "Focus on your desination, and you should be there."
"Thank you for all your help!" Harry shouts to Will and Nico. They give him twin thumbs up and smiles.
"I like you, Hermione," Pansy says casually, and Harry barely has time to see Hermione's shocked expression before they're back in their Potions classroom.
Hermione points at Pansy. "You have some explaining to do."
"What the fuck?!" Snape shouts.
