Explanations about the magical world

Remus Lupin had a rough life. For a start he was a werewolf. Even though he was one he still had found friend in his life, but then the war began. In one night he had lost them all. 12 years later one of them returned to him. He couldn't be more thankful for that, but then 2 years later his friend was taken from him again. And he didn't know how much he could take anymore. He didn't show much to the others of the order that something was wrong, but the others didn't miss his mood. They knew that the death of Sirius Black had stricken hard. They knew that Lupin was not the only one. Lupin himself knew that too. He knew that Harry was defistated. Harry had written the order that he was having dreams that Sirius was in some dark, cold place and that they had to find a way to get him out. At first Remus had stand on the orders side that Sirius was death and that it was impossible for him to come back. But then Remus himself was having these dreams. Something was going on and it was kind of messing with his head. What should he believe? The fact that his friend had died? Or that there was a possibility that his friend hadn't died at all? Sirius was hid by a stunner when he fell through that veil. He had fallen through it alive. It was true that everyone thought when you get through that veil that you die. But they actually know nothing about the veil. That's the reason why it's located in the ministry of mysteries. They don't know anything about it, nothing. How can they be sure that you die going through it? It made him mad thinking about it. He had to find some information about that veil, but he was sure he wouldn't be able to find that here. He had to go somewhere else for that. To someone who knew more about mystical things than they did. Even if the ministry of magic wasn't on good terms with the watchers council. He had to try. So he sends an owl and explained the situation to them.

They were getting nowhere and it was slowly getting later and later.

"How late is it?" Memphis asked after a while.

"20:30, why?" Giles asked.

"I have to go. Where I live they have a very tight time schedule." Memphis said.

"Where do you live then?" Giles asked a little confused.

"The Sunnydale orphanage. My mother died a few years ago and well, dad's been locked up in that place." Memphis said rushed.

"Ah, I see. I'm sorry to hear that." Giles said.

"It's ok. Will you keep searching?" Memphis asked.

"Of course. See you tomorrow?" Giles said.

"Sure, see you tomorrow then." Memphis said and left.

Buffy went after him.

"You shouldn't be walking home alone when it's dark." Buffy said.

"I can defend myself. Thanks for your concern." Memphis said.

"Do you even know what can happen?" Buffy asked.

"Getting attacked by vampires or other nasties. Yes, I know." Memphis said.

Buffy stopped walking. Memphis stopped too.

"How do you know?" Buffy asked.

"The world is bigger than you think. There are a whole lot of people hiding from the normal world." Memphis said.

"Normal world? Hiding? What do you mean?" Buffy asked confused.

"Well, you know about the supernatural world?" Memphis asked.

Buffy nodded.

"Well, not only demons lives in that world. Actually only one quarter of the supernatural world are demons. Rest of it are magical creatures. Phoenixes, dragons, griffins, hippogriffs, centaurs, than you have witches and wizards too. I'm sure you have heard some stories about them. Especially around Salem." Memphis said.

"The stakes? My history teacher told me about it. They burned witches at the stakes. Haven't heard about wizards though." Buffy said.

"Well, it were mostly woman who got our kind in trouble. Because of that we hide from the normal world." Memphis said.

"I'm getting confused now. Witches caused trouble so they hide from the normal people, but what about wizards?" Buffy said.

"Witches and wizards are terms for magical people. Witches are female, wizards are male. Do you understand it now?" Memphis asked.

"Uhm yeah. Witches female, wizards male. But what has that to do with you knowing about vampires?" Buffy asked.

"I'm a wizard. They teach it at school." Memphis said.

"oh……they teach it at school?" Buffy asked.

"Salem's academy of magical education. Witches and wizards have there own schools and such, cause of the hiding and so. And the demons do intend to be a quarter of our world. So knowing how to defend ourselves can come in handy." Memphis answered.

In the meanwhile they had walked to the orphanage and where now at the gates.

"I have to get inside before I get into trouble." Memphis said.

"Ok, see you tomorrow." Buffy said then walked back to Giles' place.
