The Spiral: Prologue, The Fool
By Magick Girl
Two people sat in an office talking heatedly. This might be normal if you didn't notice what was in the office and how the people where dressed. First off, all over the walls there were hundreds of moving pictures of people dressed in cloaks and pointed hats. Secondly, there was a bright orange and red bird perched on a seat, and last of all where the two people talking. One had a long sliver beard and hair, he had crescent moon spectacles, and a long crocked nose that looked like it had been broken a good many times. The women he was talking to was wearing emerald green robes, she had black hair pulled into a server bun that sat high on her head, and wore square glasses.
"After what has happened this year Minerva we must raise defense. No place is safe from Voldemort, not even Hogwarts," the man said in a sad and tired voice.
"Well what are we going to do Albus? I presume you have already thought of something," asked the woman in a slightly frightened voice.
"Yes, I have just sent an owl to Vivian and her cousins. They can take teaching jobs her and their niece Selene can attend Hogwarts. They might also need our protecting, they are the only ones of the Old Practice with powers of the normal wizard. Voldemort will certainly look for them or there type, and amid all the magic going on around here they shouldn't be detected," replied the old man named Albus.
"I certainly hope you didn't tell them that information in the letter. If Morrigan saw that she certainly wouldn't come! And what would they be teaching? Defense Against the Dark Arts is the only opening," replied Minerva in a happier voice, she seemed to like the idea.
"Well Morrigan will be teaching that class of course. And I'm certain Hagrid and Cerridwen will happily work together. After all even Hagrid knows less about animals then Cerridwen. I was also planning to have some of the older students learn Old magick, it might help them protect themselves."
"Albus, you can't be serious, Old Magick! Half the students will be dead by the end of the year. What if they Astral project wrong? Or they can't do the Inner Body Protection? We can't be responsible for that!" Minerva practically yelled.
"We need not worry Minerva. Briga can easily help with the astral projection, after all she can do that at will. And Vivian, well she's Vivian and taught Morrigan, Cerridwen, and Briga practically all they know. The students will be safe with them," replied Albus with a twinkle in his eye.
Suddenly, over six thousand miles away on the north west coast of America, a young teenage girl opened her eyes and turned to the older woman sitting by her side and said, "We should pack, I think we will be traveling to England soon Aunt Briga."
AN: I know I should be working on Am I My Brother's (Sister's) Keeper? , but who can deny their muse? If you did they would torment you until you had gone insane. Anyway this is gonna be a very long. 22 parts, including this to be exact! So enjoy!
Disclaimer: Oh I own Selene, yes! Morrigan (hehehe), Cerridwen, Briga and Vivian. In no way do I own Minerva or Albus, or any of the other HP characters that will come in later on! Wish I did but I don't. There now I typed this blasted thinky and can type the rest in peace! Yay!!!!!
