I woke up to a dark room. We had stayed at a hotel for once, and gotten two connecting rooms with 2 beds each. Iggy and Gazzy shared a bed, Angel got her own bed, and Nudge kicked me out of our bed that we were sharing, so I went over and shared with Fang. He didn't mind, as I had woken him up from a nightmare.
I looked around and saw that Fang was awake too. He motioned for me to be quiet and pointed at a very sound asleep Nudge. I nodded silently and slipped out of bed. Iggy and Gazzy appeared in the doorway to the other room, also silent and alert. Suddenly, a knock could be heard from the door. We all tensed, and looked at each other. Who in the world would come knocking at 2:45 in the morning? We knew it wasn't Erasers, they aren't the polite type. Neither were any of the other bad guys, now that I think about it.
Don't worry, Max. He's here to help, and be good. Angel said in my mind. Apparently Nudge was the only one not awake. I motioned for Fang to wake up Nudge, and for the other 2 to start packing as I slowly made my way to the door. I opened the door a teeny tiny bit and said "Who the heck are you?" The old man standing there had a really long beard, and when I say that, I mean long enough to go down to his knees. His hair went even farther, and he had a kind twinkle in his eyes, the kind that made you want to trust him immediately. I resisted it and looked at his clothes. He was wearing a midnight blue long robe, with white stars and constellations.
"I am Professor Dumbledore." Fang came up behind me and muttered in my ear,"Let him in." I opened the door and stepped aside, Fang still behind me, placing a protective hand on my shoulder. He smiled at us and stepped inside, completely ignorant to the fact that it was 3:30 in the morning.
"What do you want?" I asked rudely. I can't help it if I didn't have any patience at 3:30 in the morning. I wondered if he was a mutant that escaped. Then again, I don't know if they had the School 300 years ago. That's how old he looked, anyway. Did I mention that it was 3:30 in the morning?
"I have come to tell you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry." He said pleasantly, still smiling. I waited a second, then we all started laughing, even Fang. This must be a dream.
It isn't a dream, Max. Angel said in my head. I stopped laughing and frowned.
It's not a dream. She repeated. You wouldn't be aware of it if it was.
I looked at Fang, and I could see in his eyes that she had told him that too. What do you think? I asked him with my eyes. I don't know, but I think we should humor him for now. His eyes said. I looked at the professor and frowned. He was watching us a smile on his face, waiting to explain. When he saw he had our attention, he opened his mouth to talk, but Nudge beat him to it.
"Are you a wizard? Like, oh my gosh! Can you do magic? Can you make flowers? Or candy? That would be soooo cool! I like gummy worms, but chocolate is the best. Max agrees, but Iggy says it's too brown. Oh my gosh, this is like, the best dream ever! well, except that one with the uni-" Nudge said excitedly, thankfully stopped by Iggy's hand. The 'wizard' simply smiled at her, pulled out a stick from somewhere, waved it around, and said, "Flora Comotor". A single rose bloom came out of the end of the end, and he gave it to Nudge, whose squeal of delight could be heard perfectly clearly through Iggy's hand. The professor took out some letters from his robe of stars and handed them to me.
"These are your letters of invitation. If you chose to believe me, then stay here. My assistant will come and collect you. I would strongly suggest you do, as most young wizards either go insane or die from their growing powers suffocating them." He said seriously, not smiling for the first time this morning."Although you are special, and I'm sure you could handle it, it would not come without difficulty. Now on that happy note, I shall leave you to get some well-needed rest." With that he tipped his hat to us, waved cheerfully at Nudge, Angel, and Gazzy, and was out the door before I could say, "Huh."
So what do you think? PLEASE REVIEW. I will even give out some of my brownies. Right now I am working on a Inuyasha x Naruto (NOT the pairing) x (maybe) Maximum Ride or Kingdom Hearts. Comment on that too if you know them please. Please be gentle. Although this is not my first story written, it is my first story posted, so I am very sensitive.
