Chapter 2: Of Research and understanding

Silently I made my way towards Gryffindor tower to tell my friends of recent events. I admit I am worried about what they will think, as ron has always been easily made jealous. Hermione worries me much less as she has always Been the more sensible of us 3. reaching my destination I quickly whisper the password, "newts eyes." Seeing my friends I approached warily.

Hermione's being the brightest of us all immediately knew something was wrong. Her eyes soft and her voice calm she tilted her head, "Harry what's going on. You seem off, and I didn't see you at breakfast."

Nerves high, I took the parchment from my pocket and passed it over waiting for her to finish reading it. as she finished she passed it over to Ron who followed her example.

Ron looked up, "Merlin? as in you are the greatest wizard of all time?"

" yes. I came here hoping you two could help me research Merlin and his life. According to fate I must find the reincarnate of Arthur. I don't think I can do this on my own."

Hermione smiled, " of course we can help. If you are looking for Arthur it is likely he is someone close to you as Merlin and Arthur where do your friends in his time. we should make a list of everyone that has impacted your life both negative and positive. we can then observe them and begin the process of elimination."

I grin happy my friends have not cast me aside. I am about to reply when a shooting pain strikes my head causing me to cringe and double over with nausea. at once Hermione is at my side digging through her bag to pull out a headache relieving potions. I'm not sure why but as the headache dissipate I suddenly no. I know that Hermione is important in my life. softly with an unknown wisdom I whisper, "Gaius. "

Hermione looks at me with aww, "what did you just call me?"

I repeat my previous word, "Gaius. "

Mione' grins, "it seems as you talk to those that were in your past life you will have memory and be given knowledge of who they are. I must be Gaius. Gaius tutored and mentored Merlin in his time and was court physician in the Pendragon household."

It made sense really, "I think you giving me advice and helping me this way must have triggered the memory. I say we go to the library to discuss this further and research who I was exactly."

With that the three of us headed toward the library wondering what would become of us.

Choosing a table the three of us sat in comfort. Hermione had opened a book on Camelot and it's time while Ron and I began A list of people who had any impact on my life.

1. Ron

2. Hermione (Gaius)

3. Dumbledore

4. Draco

5. Harris

6. Sirius

7. Rents

8. Voldemort

9. Lucius

Ron looked over the list, "I don't think im Arthur. I just don't feel like an arthur kind of person."

I couldn't help but laugh as only Ron could make a joke out of such a serious situation. That is until another headache took of me. Again out of nowhere knowledge of who ron was became clear to me and somehow I just knew his name was once "Will."

We both looked to Hermione but Ron was the one who spoke first, "who is will?"

Hermione flipped through her book before stopping with a noise of triumph, "Will was once the best friend of Merlin. he risked his life to save King Arthur and then took the blame of sorcery to save Merlin. it makes sense that you two are such close friends."

Next to Rons name, in parentheses I wrote the name will.

"What all have you come up with mione'?" I asked as I let the knew knowledge sink in.

"well from what I've read Merlin came to Camelot from a far off village to study under Gaius to learn to control and understand his gift. In that time he learned it was his destiny to save Arthur and to unite the land of Albion. Merlin never love however Arthur married a servant girl named Gwen. He fought many battles against friends and enemies for the king. There are rumors from Morgana, Arthur's sister and Merlina greatest enemy, that Merlin never loved as he could only truly love Arthur. perhaps that is what fate ment. That you must give in to your love for Arthur."

"so in short I must discover who Arthur is and fall in love with him, as well as bring him to power and learn the identities of those in my past life which are present now. sounds fun," I speak so obviously with sarcasm.
