"I can't hold onto it anymore!"
"You have to!" Mathias yelled at his sister, "That box will bring about the end of the world!"
"The portal is sucking us in! Remember me!" The blue portal in front of them suddenly sucked Pandora and her box into it and into another dimension. The portal closed, leaving Mathias lonely and angry. He turned to Jael, took him by the throat, and pinned him against the hot wall of Hell.
"You told me this wouldn't happen! You told me she could protect the box."
"She can," Jael struggled to say, "I can get it back. I can get both of them back!"
"Find the one person who can," Mathias said letting go of Jael. He slipped to the floor and gagged for air. "Find Harry Potter."
"Did you do the rest of your homework?" Harry asked Albus.
"I already told you that I did," he answered rolling his eyes.
"Hey, you're failing Trig so it's my job to ask," Harry said slapping Albus upside his head.
"Dad! James stole my calculator!" Lily yelled.
"James, give your sister back her calculator now!" Harry yelled at him.
"I need it though! My Geometry homework is more complicated than her stupid Algebra homework!"
Harry took out his wand and waved it in the air to freeze the room. He looked up at the sky and started to cry. "Why did you have to leave us? We can't survive without you." The room unfroze and everyone looked at Albus who was holding out his wand and smiling.
"I'm a sixth year dad," he said at Harry's surprised face. "We all miss her. She left without warning." Ginny and Harry had been married for almost ten years until Ginny contracted stage four breast cancer and died six months after her diagnosis; the family and the entire magical community were devastated. Hogwarts hosted the funeral where she was buried on the grounds with a magnificent headstone, but the Potter household wasn't the same without her.
Suddenly a knock at the door broke their sadness and Lily went to open it. "Can I help you?"
"Is your dad around?"
"Dad, someone is here to see you," Lily yelled and Harry rushed to the door.
"Can I help you with anything?" Harry asked the stranger.
"Can I come in? We need to talk," the man said.
"No, what is this regarding?"
"Have you ever heard of Pandora's Box?" the man asked Harry who suddenly had a look of perplexity on his face. "Now may I come in?" The stranger came in and sat on the couch while the three children looked at him in concern.
"Did you seriously let a stranger into our house? What are you mad?" James asked as Harry glanced at the stranger; he had a pink and black Mohawk, he wore black leather chaps, a black leather vest with no shirt covering his chest, a black choker covered his neck, black nail polish glazed his fingernails, and he wore black eyeliner. "He wears strange clothes and he wreaks of cigars."
"Dad, number one he is dressed like a punker and two he probably smokes cigars," Lily said, "let him tell you about this stupid myth because you know Pandora's Box isn't real."
"It is," the man said, "it's as real as you and me."
"Are you seriously telling us that Pandora and her box are real and the myth is true?" Lily asked as the man shook his head.
"Who are you?" Harry asked the man.
"My name is Jael and I am from the future," he said as Harry stared at him in disbelief. "I know you may not believe it now, but you will in time. This story about Pandora is different. Pandora was given another box. The Gods gave her another chance and gave her another box to guard with her life."
"And I'll assume that she did," Harry said as Jael shook his head.
"Yes, she never let that box out of her sight until her brother found out about it," Jael said and suddenly Harry was interested. "Mathias wanted the box for himself and he still does, but before he could get it from her, Pandora was sucked into a vortex and disappeared into another time. I tracked her here, but I'm having a hard time finding her; I need your help in finding her."
"Because you need to give the box to Mathias," Lily said as Jael shook his head.
"I need your help to keep Mathias away from the box. If he gets the box, he will open it and bring unknown terror upon this Earth."
"And you have no idea where she is?" Lily asked as Jael shook her head.
"No and she means the world to me," Jael said blushing slightly.
"Guys I think I know where Pandora is," James said reading a letter that had flown in from outside.
"Where?"
"She's at Hogwarts."
