I dunno why this popped into my head, but I dunno, I think it's koo ^_^!!!!!!

The Sphere of Anubis

By: ME!!!!!!!! DOUBT ME NOT YOU FILTHY EARTH-WORM-BABIES!!!!! ME I SAY!!!!!!!!!!

Harry stretched in his chair as he waited for Dumbledore to begin. He, Ron, and Hermione had expected him to bring them into his office to discuss the new year. Their 7th, and final year was sure to be extremely dangerous, they knew that any moment Voldemort could strike, and they need to all be on their toes.

While Dumbledore got situated in his chair, Hermione nudged Ron, asking softly "What do you think he's going to say?"

Ron shrugged, and just as softly, "I dunno, probably to keep our eyes open this year. Anything could happen now."

Hermione nodded, and was about to turn to Harry, who was on her left, the same thing, when Dumbledore cleared his throat, "I know you are curious as to why I called you to my office, but do not worry, none of you are in trouble this early in the year."

Hermione blushed while Ron and Harry tried not to laugh, Dumbledore smiled, "However, that does not mean trouble will not find you. As you are well aware, this is your last year at Hogwarts, and Voldemort, no doubt, will be planning his greatest assault on our school." He looked down, then back up. The kids squirmed a bit in their seats as they saw a bright fire light up his old, yet still clear blue eyes, "I truly would never wish this on you children, but…you are the greatest defense. All of you. I am sad to say that I don't believe I could ask this of all the houses, but I wish for your house, and which ever other houses that are still loyal to us to be willing to join forces…should something befall Hogwarts. I know I don't even need to say anything like that, you children have a great sense of pride and love of this school…and our way of life. If…any of our students-" He cut himself off, before sighing sadly and continuing, "Or…teachers were to desert us in our dark hour, I do wish you will let it be. What will happen, will happen, and should Voldemort strike, we must concentrate on protecting Hogwarts, no matter who is on the other side."

The three students had a bad feeling they knew exactly who would renegade. Harry nodded, "Yeah, we know. Should…anyone betray Hogwarts, I don't think anyone from our house, or any loyal house would hesitate to fight against them…whoever they are."

Dumbledore smiled again as he saw Ron and Hermione agree with Harry, "Yes, I know you wouldn't…but, don't jump to conclusions on who is loyal and who's not. There are many a dark past and history amongst the students and teachers, some that I don't even know about. Not to make any of you paranoid of your classmates, just remember, not everything, or anyone is as it seems."

Just as he finished that sentence, a owl swooped into the room. Ron jumped when it dropped a 2"by2" brown paper package on the desk. Dumbledore stood up and inspected the box. It was for Harry.

Harry went and started to unwrap it as it lay. Hermione was going to point out that he was opening it backwards, but let it be. Harry was about to pull off the twine that held it solid when he remembered what Dumbledore had just said and looked at him over the box, "Well…it had no return address."

Ron shrugged, "If it was something bad, don't you think the owl would have known?"

Harry nodded, "I guess so." And pulled off the twine.

It happened in a flash. The thick brown parchment seemed to melt away as a black sphere with gold engravings came into view…it was like the box that held it wasn't even there. Dumbledore took a step back as it started to spin, and the three teens backed off as well. The sphere started to make the air around it pulse with energy, and, had Harry opened the box on the right side, he would have been hit with the curse the sphere had carried with it for thousands of years…. But, since he didn't, a golden beam of light shot out of the spinning ball and hit Dumbledore directly in the chest, and he went flying.

Ron and Hermione ran to his side as Harry dove for the sphere, but the moment he touched it, it dissolved into a pile of golden sand. He cried out, fear of his headmaster dead screaming in her head, then ran around the desk, joining Ron and Hermione at his side. Hermione already had tear-streaked cheeks, and Ron looking like he was close to it as well, but being a boy, held it in as much as he could.

Harry reached out and brushed the silver hair away from his neck and searched for a pulse. He almost screamed for joy when he felt it, faint, but strong.

"He's not dead! We have to get McGonagall, quick!"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~**~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~**~~*~**~*~*~*~**~*~

Prof. McGonagall sighed and smoothed his blankets once more, "Are you sure you didn't recognize what did this?"

The three nodded sadly, Harry still was beating himself inside, if only he hadn't of opened it there…"No, I've never seen anything like it. It was just a black sphere with gold carvings."

Hermione frowned at Dumbledore's sleeping form, "Well…I'm not sure, but I think I recognized something on it. It looked almost…Egyptian."

McGonagall's eyes widened behind her glasses, "Egyptian?" She cleared her throat, trying to not alarm the three students, "Well, I shall look into it, you three should return to your dormitories. Madam Pomfrey says that he is fine, only unconscious. She said that he should be awake soon, he doesn't have any serious head injuries."

Harry sighed in relief, "Thanks, Professor."

She nodded and they left, glad that he was Ok. She looked down at him and sighed as well, who knew what would happen if something happened to him at this crucial stage…

(ok….this part might be confusing….but it'll make sense real soon!!)

1858

The three boys laughed as another student fell victim to their spell. They had charmed a chair to start wiggling uncontrollably a few moments after someone sat down on it in the library. Aedevin Valax had made a Peeping Pool in a bowl of water so they could see what was happening without being anywhere near the library themselves. Keiran Holmes shoved Aidan Raimes over a bit, "C'mon mate! I want to see!"

He shoved back, making Keiran's blue-black hair fall into his green eyes, "You can see just fine, so quit shoving me!"

Aedevin narrowed his onyx eyes at them, "Shut up! I have to keep my concentration to keep this working!"

The two mumbled half-hearted apologies, then went back to watching the bowl, then started laughing again as another person fell for it.

Keiran wiped tears from his chocolate brown eyes and ran a hand through his blond hair before turning to the other boy in the Gryffindor common room, "C'mon, come look!"

The boy looked over his shoulder at them for a moment, then went back to his brooding. His thick auburn hair making an effective shield against the stares of his four friends. His bright blue eyes gloomy as he watched the scenery out the window.

Aedevin groaned, tossing his long emerald green hair back, "Will you stop that! It's making the mood horrible in here! I can feel your crappy mood all the way from over there. Have a heart, mate!"

He smiled softly and turned to look at his half…something friend. They weren't too sure what Aedevin's father was, but they knew he had had wings of some sort because he had strange, wing-like tattoos on his back since birth, as if even though he couldn't grow them, they were determined to be a part of him. One thing he hated though, he was slightly empathetic, "Sorry, I forgot. I'll try to keep it down."

Keiran rocked back on his chair, "What are you mopping about now? That girl still?"

He rolled his eyes, looking out the window again, "No."

Aidan looked at Aedevin's face and groaned too, "Yeah you are! Even he can feel it!"

He looked back at them darkly, before shrugging, "I can't help it. I liked her."

Keiran rocked back some more, "You hardly knew her. Sure, we were in the same year, but she never talked to anyone, you only got to know her because you were partners for that project."

He shrugged, "I don't know, I got to know her, even in that short time. I know we weren't friends or anything, but I still feel bad that she died."

Aedevin shrugged, then cursed as the Pool blinked out, "It wasn't your fault! She shouldn't have gone to visit those American relatives of hers, it's dangerous there! Damn foolish of her. I feel bad too that she died, it's all around this school and I can practically touch the sadness in some people, but she knew the danger she was in by going there especially now that they're probably going to have some sort of hostility now."

He nodded, pushing his auburn hair out of his eyes, "Yeah, I know…I just wish I had a chance to get to see her again. I mean, this is our last year, and it would have been nice to get to know her better before we all left."

Aidan opened his mouth when he shouldn't, again, "What? You liked her liked her? Awa, did you have a crush, Wulf?"

He snatched up an apple from the nearby table and threw it at him, whacking him in the forehead, "Shut up will you!"

Keiran and Aedevin whacked him too, they did this nearly every day. Aidan rubbed the back of his head, "God, you guys are violent."

He then had an idea that he didn't realize would get him whacked again, "Well…if you want a girl that bad, why don't you go by your real name, it'll probably get the girls all riled up."

The other two boys looked away, this would be almost too painful to watch.

Wulf narrowed his bright eyes on him, "You wouldn't dare."

Aidan didn't realize the potential ass kicking on his way, "I mean really, the girls might really get going when they find out your name's really Albus-"

He couldn't get the rest of the sentence out as he dove for him, and was just about to lay his fist into his face when an intense wave of dizziness hit him, making him lose his balance completely. He fell on top of Aidan, who started freaking out, "Get him off me! There's something wrong!"

Aedevin, using his slightly abnormal strength, lifted him easily and propped him up, shaking him a bit, "Wulf! Wulf wake up! Dammit!" He looked to Keiran, who was standing in dumb silence still, "Go get the nurse!"

He ran out, but stopped when Wulf called out, "No…no, it's ok…I'm fine." Keiran came back in to see him sitting up on his own, rubbing his eyes, "What happened?"

He shrugged, "I don't know…it felt like something was trying to pull me into two…it felt like I was being ripped apart, but I'm ok now, really."

Aidan sat up, grinning like an idiot, "Ok, so maybe calling you Albus is a bad idea-"

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was glad he agreed, but still knocked him silly for calling him that.

*enter creepy twilight zone music, lol*

Wulf groaned and sat up, clutching his head, the last thing he could remember was being about to punch Aidan in the face for calling him…that, then an intense blinding pain…

He opened his eyes, arching a brow seeing that he wasn't in the common room anymore…but in the Headmaster's Rooms?

He looked around frantically, trying to see if Professor Burmis, the current headmaster was about, before hopping out of his bed quickly, his headache gone. He groaned again, seeing that somehow, his moronic three friends had managed to get him into the Headmaster's robes and tucked into his bed, or at least, that's what he thought must have happened. He brushed his hair out of his face and grinned, searching for his wand, which was thankfully still on him. Those idiots should have taken it with them!

He quickly transfigured the headmasters clothes into Gryffindor robes and ran out of there as fast as he could…not noticing that the rooms looked a lot different than they should be.

He looked into the hall, left and right, then sighed in intense relief. It wasn't he wasn't used to getting in trouble, quite the contrary, but he really, really didn't want to explain as to how he had gotten in there!

He started down the hall, mentally preparing a major butt whooping for his three best friends, and didn't notice the other three students behind him, absolutely confused as to who the hell was ahead of them.

Ron shook his head again, "I don't know! I've never seen the bloke before, honestly!"

Hermione bit her lip, "Do you think we should tell someone?"

Harry shook his head too, then went ahead of them, "Hey!"

The stranger stopped with what looked like a wince, then slowly turned around. Hermione was damn sure she didn't know him, who could forget a face like that?

Harry approached him with caution, slightly surprised to see him regard him in the same manner, "I've never seen you around here."

The stranger crossed his arms, hesitation gone, "And I haven't seen you either, who the hell are you three, and what are you doing here?"

Hermione frowned, "We go here. And I'm Hermione, he's Ron, and that's Harry, and who are you?"

He looked her over, making her slightly uncomfortable and Ron feeling slightly protective, "I'm Wulf, Wulf Dumbledore, and I know damn well that no Hermione, Ron, or Harry are in Gryffindor." He shipped out his wand, moving into a stance that obviously said he knew how to use it, "Now, before I turn you three into statues, who the hell are you really?"

Uh oh……WTF?!?!!? Dumbledore…..a teenybopper…..in their time?!?! OOOOOOOO shit's gonna go down!!!
