Chapter One: Explanation
Raito fell down on the stone floor with a painful thud, still gripping his Death Note tightly. He tried to rise up, back protesting greatly at the strain, and looked around from the ground. It looked like an old pub, a very old and dirty pub. Groaning, he tried again to get up and was a bit more successful this time.
"Oh, Mr. Kira! You came!"
Raito almost fell once more but caught himself and looked up at a bright blue robe that looked like it was stolen from a party magician. He stood unsteadily and came face to face with an incredibly old man, the white hair falling down his back in precise locks. Raito stared at him for a moment, unsure of what his reaction should be.
He went with calm anger. He was in a paradox kind of mood anyway.
"How do you know that I'm Kira?" Raito asked, waiting for the right chance to get this old man's name.
The man's eyes sparkled happily. "I didn't, actually. I wrote your name, and it goes to wherever you are automatically. Is that a problem?"
"Actually, sir, yes it is. You could get me into much trouble, calling me 'Kira'!" Raito responded.
"Hm… Then what is your name?" The old man asked, eyes still sparkling, but now quietly considering as well.
"It's rude to ask for someone's name without giving your own first."
The old man snapped his fingers. "Ah yes! Of course my boy, I am called Professor Dumbledore!" he exclaimed, chuckling joyously. Raito decided the faster he dies the better. Dumbledore emitted too much happiness.
The teenager nodded. "Well, I am called Kira, but my name is Raito Yagami." Raito said, itching to grab a pen and jot down the old man's name quickly.
"Ah, well that explains much." Dumbledore mumbled. Raito eyebrow rose and he waved his hand in front of the old man's eyes as a test. Dumbledore blinked once from behind his half cut glasses.
"Can you explain to me this theory about 'Wizarding Schools' and whatnot?" Raito asked, crossing his arms impatiently. He had a world to conquer.
"Oh, you must mean Hogwarts! Yes, I know it sounds a bit farfetched, but it's as real as me and you!" Dumbledore said, eyes sparkling at a blinding rate. Raito knew that covering him eyes with his arm would make him look stupid, so he refrained from doing it, deciding to just squint his eyes instead.
"Well, I have no proof that you are actually real, and Kira doesn't technically exist." Raito said, smiling at the instant loophole.
Dumbledore just smiled at him. "Well, many people don't normally agree with me when I say 'Wizards', so I can only enhance my point to get it across." Dumbledore said, reaching into his robes to pull out an object.
'Is he about to pull out a gun so he can arrest me?' Raito thought, feelings of paranoia overcoming him.
Dumbledore pulled out a long polished stick.
"Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? If so, then 'Haha'," Raito said, glaring.
The old man chuckled. "Ah, but my boy! Don't you know what this is?" Dumbledore asked, smiling calmly. Raito looked at the stick, and then looked back at him.
"You're going to beat faith into me?" Raito asked in an amused tone.
Dumbledore kept smiling.
"By the way, the constant smiling is slightly unnerving and creepy. Perhaps you'd want to fix that," Raito said, the smile finally getting to him.
Blue eyes crinkled in joy. "Well my boy, I can give you an example of magic. You believe in that don't you? Examples?" Raito opened his mouth to retort, but then realized that well, he did.
"Then I can show you some magic." Dumbledore said, eyes sparkling even more.
Raito thought about it for a moment, trying to see how he could use this to his advantage.
"Okay then, disguise my notebook."
Well, if it worked, then he'd be so much less suspicious carrying around a regular notebook than a black one that says DEATH NOTE.
Dumbledore tapped the Death Note with his stick and a cover appeared over it. Raito stared at it, shocked that he actually did it and it actually worked.
He'd never doubt party magicians again.
"How did you do that?" Raito asked, not completely over his amazement.
"Simple, Raito my boy. I used my wand." Dumbledore said, laughing quietly.
"Now, if I go to this school of yours, then I'll be able to learn this kind of information too?"
"Of course, my boy! And you'll learn so much more, too!"
Raito smirked. His cleaning was going to become so much easier now.
"By the way, where are we anyway?" Raito asked, completely over his shock.
"Ah yes, welcome to the Leaky Cauldron."
End Chapter One
My, I think I didn't do as well on this chapter. I still have time to get better though. Good thing too. I decided on two things also:
One: Sirius Black shalt not be dead in this one.
Two: I shalt also bring in L/Ryuuzaki into the plot.
I hope you enjoyed.
