The Guardians- Prologue
The leaders of the world gathered in a room far removed from prying eyes. All petty differences between powers were forgotten and the fate of the world decided by those most worthy of it. The dim lighting of the room was such that none could see the other's face. Each knew the other, yet the air of secrecy was retained.
"Shall we get to the point then? There are reasons why this body does not meet often."
"Yes we shall." This voice was the voice of one of the most influential members of the body. "I am the one who called this gathering because doubtless you all know of our growing concerns with the dark wizard Voldemort. His return has arrived, not now, but soon and… I am tired."
The mood of silence in the room changed. This member was to be the fulcrum of their resistance. She could not afford to be tired.
"I am aware of the threat this poses, believe me. The stress that has become a routine part of my life must be reduced. I cannot fully carry the weight of the American government and be ready for Voldemort's return. I have formulated a plan. This plan, however, requires my disappearance from the political scene. It shall be said that I am acting more conventionally as Vice President, such as minding state affairs from afar. In reality, I will appoint someone with my abilities to run my position in my place. Since I will be out of the spotlight, I will only have to make random appearances to keep the public faith. My temporary replacement will carry on with what would be doing if I were still in America.
"During this time I plan to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I shall have my rest until the reemergence of Voldemort, and then I will be in the perfect position to oppose him. I plan to befriend the boy of the Prophecy."
"Are there any flaws in this plan?" a voice asked from the shadows.
"There always are, but they have been kept to a minimum," she replied.
A new voice spoke. "Are there any who object to this plan or do not trust the initiator?"
Silence reigned.
"This session of the Guardians is dismissed."
