An elderly man apparated in front of the Fenton Household. He had long white hair, wearing half- moon glasses, he was wearing a blue wizarding robe and a pointed hat. His name was Albus Dumbledore and he remembered the first time he had come to this house twelve years ago with Serena Corduroy to place her children into hiding. In his hand were two letters and they were addressed to Jasmine and Daniel Corduroy.
He walked into the porch of the house and then knocked on the door. Maddie then opened the door and gasped at the sight of Dumbledore standing there.
"Good evening Madeline" Dumbledore greeted. "It is time"
Maddie nodded and knew what he meant. He allowed her into the house and then took him to the living room where Daniel and Jasmine were sitting down in their pyjamas. The two children looked up and saw Dumbledore with their mother.
"Kids this is Albus Dumbledore" Maddie introduced. Dumbledore smiled warmly at the two children and said, "I'm the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
"But there's no such thing as magic" Jazz said. Dumbledore chuckled and then suddenly said as he pointed his wand at an empty glass and chanted, "Aquamenti"
The children then gasped at the sight as the glass filled with water right before their very eyes. Dumbledore then said, "That is something you two will learn to do as well"
"What do you mean?" Danny asked.
"You're a wizard Daniel and Jasmine you are a witch" Dumbledore answered.
The two children opened their mouths in shock and they both asked, "We're what?"
"Wizard and witch" Dumbledore repeated.
"We can't be though" Danny stuttered.
"Have either of you made something happen? When you both were angry or scared?" Dumbledore asked.
They both were then silent and then remembered how one time when Danny was two he accidently made a jar of cookies fall off the fridge without even touching it and Jazz had once accidently caused a whole swarm of bees to attack some children at a playground. And then there was another time where Jazz accidently turned Danny's hair orange and Danny turned Jazz's hair pink.
Danny then turned to Maddie and asked, "Did you know? Is it true?"
"It is true. There's something I need to tell you children" Maddie began. "I'm not your real mother. Your names are Daniel and Jasmine Corduroy and your parents are….were Serena and Sergus Corduroy who came from a whole line of pure-blood wizards and witches. My mother was a witch and my father was a muggle which what the magical world calls normal humans but I never inherited my mother's magical abilities thus making me what the magical world calls a squib. I married Jack and we were happy but as you know he died in a car accident"
"It was just when you were a baby Danny and when Jazz was two years old. A truly evil wizard named….Voldemort had terrorized the entire wizarding world. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents were part of a group of wizards that fought against him known as the Order of the Phoenix. One night he tried to kill a boy named Harry Potter and in that same night killed his parents Lilly and James. But that night something happened and he was defeated by the infant boy. Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters started going around finding Order members for information about that night. It wasn't long until they found your parents"
Dumbledore then continued, "Your father Sergus died that night protecting you two and your mother. Your mother Serena then decided for your safety to place you in the care of Maddie here"
"I took you two in and raised you as my own as if your mother wanted. I don't know where she is" Maddie then finished as tears fell from her eyes. "Are you two angry?"
" Angry? No. Disappointed? Yes that you didn't tell us the truth" Jazz said. Danny then added, "But nothing will ever change between us"
Maddie smiled warmly at them and then all three shared a hug. Jazz then asked Dumbledore, "Is our real mother still alive?"
"I don't know. She disappeared during a fight with some Death Eaters a few days after" Dumbledore answered. He then handed the letters to Danny and Jazz and then they both read them out loud,
"Dear Mr/Miss Corduroy,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1st. We await your owl no longer than July 31st.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall"
"Tomorrow I will personally take you both to Diagon Alley to get all your books and equipment" Dumbledore said.
"But we'll be so far behind and these lists are showing equipment needed for second and fourth year" Danny stated. "How will we catch up?"
"Not to worry Daniel. I will also be teaching you both over the summer to catch you both up to the year levels" Dumbledore answered. "By the time the year starts Danny you will be starting with the second years and Jasmine will be starting with the fourth years"
"Oh and don't worry Daniel, I am aware of your other special abilities but please don't use them to prank people" He finished.
Danny chuckled nervously and said, "I'll do my best"
"I shall see you both tomorrow" Dumbledore said and then dis-apperated into thin air.
