(2 months after returning from Narnia)
Outside the Pevensie household, night was as dark as ever. But a middle-aged man was alone walking down the street, the lights seemed to flicker around him. The man was called Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, what was one of the most powerful wizard in the world doing in a little street on the edge of London. He was investigating a family of late bloomers, late bloomers are very rare in the wizarding world. Happening in any class of blood, but never has there been 2 late bloomers and 1 on time witch and wizards. All from the same family and all muggleborn it was astounding. It is also extremely rare for more than one child in a muggleborn family to be a wizard.
A very strange event indeed, he thought, he reached number 82, he turned his head to the house and saw a window open. Inside he saw two young boys having a mock sword fight with broom poles, with two girls cheering them on.
He found himself transfixed by the game and felt the world slip away, his eyes widened as the pyjamas on the boys be replaced by tunics and leather armour, the thump of wooden poles changed to the sharp clang of metal swords. The girls night dresses became long flowing gowns, with crowns adorning their heads. The street slipped away and rolling grass hills emerged with a soft gentle summer breeze. He felt magic everywhere, from the grass to the trees and to the sky, Albus felt a pulse of deep and strong magic every time the swords clash. A silver crown materilised ontop of the younger boy's dark hair, his fighting style quick and sneaky like the night, opposed to his brother a bright gold crown on blond hair, his style, big and powerful like the day. He watched as the children aged rapidly until they were around the low 20's. Suddenly the aging stopped as the dark-haired boy disarmed his brother, as soon as the sword hit the ground the world snapped back to the little street.
He blinked at the little house watching the children laugh as they congadulated the young boy and then all suddenly get very depressed and all gathered in a group hug and he watched the smallest girl start crying. Unable to hear what the children are saying he decides to approach the door and gives it a loud couple of knocks. He waited and heard shuffling from inside, the door suddenly opened and revealed the eldest boy.
"Hello Sir, Is there anything I can help you with" he spoke, a controlled and leadership like voice came from the boy
"Ahh yes, Would this be the house of the Pevensies'?" Albus questioned
"Yes, I am Peter Pevensie, what can I help you with?" Peter replied
"Wonderful," his blue eyes twinkling "Would your Mother, your sister Susan and your brother Edmund be home by any chance?"
"Yes, my brother and sister are right here" Peter said opening the door fully "and my Mother is upstairs"
"Well may I speak to you all" he asked
"But of course, I shall go and get her, come inside" Peter motioned
"Sorry but how about the youngest go get her, I have something for the other three of you" he said stepping inside reaching his hand inside his pocket
"What do you have for us?" Peter asks wareningly, Edmund and Susan step in front of Lucy
"A letter to go to a very special school" He pulls out 3 letters and shows them to the children, the 4 visibly relax a little and Peter tells Lucy to go and get their mother, "Ok one for Peter," he gives the eldest a letter, "Susan"
"Thank you sir" Susan replies with a gentle voice
"And one for Edmund" giving the dark-haired boy a letter. "Go on open it"
"You first Peter" Susan says trusting her brother, he replies with a nod as the look on, on the front of the letter was written 'Peter Pevensie, 2nd largest bedroom, 2nd floor, 82 Harvey St Finchley, London' he turned the letter over and came to a red wax seal and tore it open and he opened up a piece of paper. On the paper was:
HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY
Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
(Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)
Dear Mr. Pevensie,
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 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall
Deputy Headmistress
"A school for wizards" Peter looks up in awe and wearling at the headmaster,
"Peter what is this" Helen Pevensie asks descending the stairs
"Mum, I got this invitation to a Wizard school so did Su and Ed" He looks up at his mother
"A MAGIC SCHOOL!" His mother and Lucy yells each with a different reason, they both rush over a read the letter
"This must be some kind of joke" his mother says addressing the man
"Peter, I knew it, I knew that there had to be magic here, he told us it would follow us" Lucy started "Ohh I hope im magic" she turns to the man at the door "Oh sir, who are you and can you do some magic for us please" she asks all giddy
"Wait Lu," he held his sister back "Are you a good wizard" Peter asked the man
"Define good"
"Not evil" he glared
Albus gives a laugh
"No I am not evil, But, introductions are in order and am Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and believe me magic is very real, do weird things happen to you children and can never explain why" he smiles at the children, who give a secret smile at their siblings and nod "Now your 3 children have been accepted to my school, usually a child comes to the school at age 11 but yesterday the magic quill that writes down all the name for the children wrote Peter's in the third year, Susan in the Second and Edmund in the first, It is extremely rare in the wizarding world for a late bloomer, 2 in a family is unheard of, and to top it off your children are muggleborn"
"wait before we get into all of 'this'" she waved her hands around "I would like a demonstration" Helen asked sternly
"But of course" he smiles with a twinkle, he pulls out his wand "Wingardium Leviosa" he points his wand at a book and it flies into the bookshelf, "There we go" smiling at Helen before she could answer she was cut off by Lucy
"See Susan, magic, oh Aslan, magic, Sir, Sir are there Hamadryads and Fawns" she asks with joy jumping around the room
"There are Hamadryads, not sure about fawns but we do have centaurs"
"Peter did you hear that centaurs" Edmund exclaims
"Are there any Unicorns or Mermaids" Susan asks
"Yes we have both" Dumbledore replies
"Wait, can you go back to this muggleborn thing" Helen asks, quieting her children
"Well a muggleborn is a child with magical abilities born from 2 muggles"
"What's a muggle" Peter asks
"A muggle is a person without magic, as I was saying you children are extremely special, Peter, Susan and Edmund have been invited to attend Hogwarts starting September 1st. On the back of your letters are you lists for your books and other items, you can go shopping for these in Diagon Alley, I will come back in two days to take your family to Diagon alley with another muggleborn family. Remember no one but your immediate family can know about the magical world."
"You can count on me Professor" Lucy exclaims
He gives a smile in return and stands up, "Well I must be going, good night" he smiles then apperates out, back to his office.
"Okay children, off to bed"
"Night mum" they chorus and run upstairs
They all run into the boys room and stand in a square, they look at each other and then gather in a hug "I knew he wouldn't forget us" Edmund said as they pulled away
"I'm going to miss you all terribly" Lucy cried
"Lu, we still have a week together and we will all write" Susan says hugging Lucy close and stroking her Red-Golden hair.
"Yeah Lu, we won't forget you like we will never forget Narnia, Once a King or Queen of Narnia" Peter says
"Always a King or Queen of Narnia" Lucy replies perking up.
"Tell you what, you can come with us to Diagon Alley" Edmund exclaims
"Ohh yes please" Lucy replies happily
"Then the quicker you go to sleep you get to the alley" Peter says giving the small girl a good-night hug
"Long live Aslan" Lucy says to her siblings
"Long live Aslan" they all reply sending her off to bed.
Yay, Diagon alley next going to have some fun with that,
