Hey two chapters in day. Yay!
Harry followed Radagast to a place hidden among the trees. To be fair it looked like it might be Radagast's home. It looked just like him.
"Radagast," said Harry trying to keep up with the other man, "where are we going?"
"We need to see if your friend or foe," said Radagast. "My friends will be able to discern this for us." He held the door to house open for Harry. "Right this way my lad."
Harry walked into the house. If one could call it a house at all. It was pretty much like it's owner Radagast. The house was made of a hollowed out tree. And was strewn with different odds and ends that one would find in the forest.
Standing there waiting for the two were four other men. One was wearing all white and it was hard to actually look at the man. He also gave off a very disturbing feeling to the whole room. Like one would get in the prescenes of a Death Eater.
The man standing across from him was different. He was wearing grey. He was a kindly looking old man. Sort of like Dumbledore. For a second he thought that his old Headmaster was standing in the room with him. But this man looked different from Dumbledore. He carried himself different from Dumbledore. He even seemed to be much younger than Dumbledore.
The other two members of the room seemed to be twins. And they were dressed in all blue. They seemed nice enough. Sort of like the Weasley twins. If the Weasley twins were older with long grey beards.
"Radagast who do you bring before us?" asked the man in white.
"Saruman," said Radagast, "this is Harry Potter. The blinding flash of light that yourself and Gandalf saw you arrived dropped him in the middle of the forest. I brought him before the council to see if he is friend or foe."
The blue wizards studied Harry. It was unnerving how much the two reminded him of Fred and George. Maybe these were relatives of theirs. Then again he didn't think the Weasley's had family in Middle Earth.
"I don't think this boy is foe," said one of the brothers.
The other nodded. "If he was wouldn't he have done something by now?"
"He could be trying to trick us," said Saruman.
"Quite you fools," said Gandalf. "Tell us boy what is the last thing you remember."
"I was dueling with Lord Voldemort," Harry told Gandalf. "He killed me. I then went to King's Cross Station and talked to my dead Headmaster. You sort of look like him. He told me I had the chance to either go on or go back to Hogwarts. He then disappeared. And not to long after that the light your talking about Mr. Radagast came. And then I woke up here. And Radagast found me."
Gandalf stood in thought for a second.
"The enemy could have summoned him Gandalf," said Saruman.
"I doubt that," said Gandalf. "He seems to pure of heart for Sauron to summon him."
"You could be fooled."
"I could. But I am not in this case." Gandalf turned to the brothers blue. "What do you say?"
"I think," began blue Fred.
"Gandalf's right," finished blue George.
"He didn't seem bad to me," Radagast.
"Then it is settled that the boy Harry Potter is friend and not foe," said Saruman bitterly. Harry was beginning to not like him more and more. "Now to decide the boys fate."
"He will be trained in our way of course," said Gandalf. "I will personally take the boy under my wing. If there is no objection to that?"
No one seemed to object. Although Saruman looked like he wanted.
"Then it is settled," said Gandalf. "Welcome Harry to the council of the Wise. You will hence forth be known as Harry the Red."
Everyone nodded in agreement and appreciation of Harry's new name.
"But sir," said Harry, "I'm not wearing any red."
"It doesn't matter," snapped Saruman.
Harry leaned close to Gandalf and whispered. "I don't really trust that guy."
"No one does," whispered blue Fred.
"Yeah," whispered George. "Stick with Gandalf."
"He won't lead you wrong," said both blue brothers.
"Must be off Gandalf, Radagast," said Blue George. "Saruman."
The twins left.
"Come Harry," said Gandalf, "we will get started on learning. Radagast will help."
Saruman glared at everyone and then left.
"What crawled up his robes and died?" asked Radagast.
And so Harry has been determined to friend. And his training as Harry the Red begins. Until next time please leave a review. Let me know what you think so far.
