Chapter 1; A New Warrior
It was a cold and rainy day on the grounds of Hogwarts. Albus Dumbledore was sitting
alone in his studies with his fingertips together, one of his hands were
blackened, much so that it looked dead. He knew what was to come in the year and he
knew what he had to do. He thought for a moment and suddenly it clicked.
'She could help him when I'm gone…And she could help him fight.' He whispered to
himself. He got up so suddenly that the portraits on the wall that were watching him all
jumped. He walked around his desk to his closet and took out his travelling cloaks. He
fastened it around himself and was walking towards the door when Phineas Nigelus
spoke from the wall behind his desk.
'Who exactly are you going to meet, Albus?'
'Someone rather interesting.' Albus said simply. He walked out of his office and into the
splattering rain outside. He walked along the stone path and walked out of the golden
gates, as soon as he did, with a swish of his cloak he disappeared.
When Albus' feet touched the ground he was standing in front of a run-downed wharhouse.
He walked forward and knocked on the door.
'Whatever you're selling I'm not buying!' Screamed someone from the inside.
'I'm not selling anything Selene, I just need you're help!' Albus said calmly. Suddenly he
felt a gun to his back and heard someone say 'who are you and how do you know my
name! Tell the truth!' She yelled. She was an extremely beautiful girl with the darkest of
hair and bluest of eyes, she was wearing what seem to be a one piece black leather suit.
'Show yourself!' She yelled. Albus turned around slowly with a small smile and as soon
as Selene saw who it was she lowered her gun and murmured 'Oh Albus it's you. What
are you doing here? Not that I don't want to see you.' She led him to the door and opened
it. As soon as Albus stepped inside he knew immediately that the exterior was just a
disguise because the interior was really a grand place. It was more of a training place,
there was everything from guns, arrows, swords, knifes, even grenades that were hanging
on the walls. She motioned him to sit down on the couch that was set in the middle of the
room.
'So how can I help you Albus?' She said sitting in the opposite chair.
'Oh well is it a bad thing if I want to take the pleasure to see an old friend?' Said Albus
calmly.
'No offence Albus, with what's been going on I don't think you have the time to take
pleasure in anything, not even your sweets.' She said coolly.
'Well if you want to get straight to the point then I will. I need you're help.'
'The best wizard in the world is asking me for help. The thing is Albus you know full
well that I don't want anything to do with wizards and anyways this isn't my war. This is
you're war, you're fight.' She said simply and got up and got herself a beer from the mini
fridge in the corner.
'You don't drink, do you?' She asks Albus.
'No, thank you.' Albus walked over to her and said, 'You won't have to do anything,
Selene, just be there. Please Selene I understand that this isn't your war but this might as
well be World War Three. Selene I need someone to be there someone who can look after
Harry when I'm gone.'
'Gone? You're talking as if there isn't a tomorrow. Albus…'
'I didn't mean to scare you, Selene, I just meant to say that someone else will have to be
there…'
'Be where, Albus? Your suppose to be the one He's afraid of. What's He going to do if
I'm around? I'm just a kid, so what if I can fight I don't use wands unless I really need
to-'
'Exactly Selene you're not a wizard, you're 18 and that is a good thing because he won't
take a second look at you because he will see you as something less than worthy of his
attention.'
'So all you want me there for is so I can be a surprise for Him. Well Albus, you're going
to have to find yourself a new actress because acting isn't what I do. I fight.' Selene
said in a final tone and turned away from Albus.
'Selene if you're not going to do this for me, do it for Harry, an innocent child who has to
carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. If he knew that there was someone out
there who could help him fight, someone out there who knew what it felt like to carry the
weight of the world on there shoulder's don't you think you'll be helping in more than
one way? Selene please think about this before you say no. Please think,' Albus said.
Selene walked past him and sat on the sofa and thought for a moment.
'What am I suppose to do about the place Albus everything I own is here?' Selene said
looking around at the wharhouse she had lived in for so long. Selene got up and walked
over to Albus. He took out his wand and with a flick, everything had vanished. They
were now standing in an empty wharhouse. They stepped outside in to the cool air.
Albus opened his mouth to say something but Selene cut him off.
'Don't worry Albus I know. You're welcome.' She said. She took hold of his arm and
with a swish of his cloak they were gone.
