Part Three: Introductions and Secrets Revealed


Moody turned to Dumbledore as the group sat eating, "I don't like this one bit. We were all lured here somehow, and now we're just accepting this food. It could be some Death Eater trap."

Dumbledore chuckled, "It would be a peculiar trap considering I know at least two people at this table have taken the dark mark."

Moody glared around the table, "Who?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "I will not reveal them, as I believe the reason they are here indicates their true loyalties."

Moody grumbled then returned to his meal. Further down the table Regulus sat next to his elder brother. He turned to Sirius, "That Auror makes me nervous…"

Sirius shrugged, "As long as you keep your sleeve down he'll never know, it's not like you had much of a choice after I refused." Regulus nodded then continued eating.

After all were done eating the plates and the remaining food vanished. A purple robed woman stepped forward, "If you'd please follow me, we can get started."

Dumbledore stood first and was quickly followed by the others. As they moved to the other side of the room several chairs and couches appeared. On each cushion a name was stitched with black thread. The black robed man that had revealed their meal then appeared and spoke, "If you'd all please find your places, it's important that you each sit in your assigned places.

In front of the fire was a large throne like chair with Dumbledore's name, to his left was a comfortable looking armchair with Moody's. To Dumbledore's right was a four person couch with McGonagall, Slughorn, Flitwick, and the Hufflepuff's Head of house names on each cushion. Next to that couch was another four person couch with the Weasley's and Tonks' names. Opposite of Dumbledore was two more armchairs one for Sirius and the other for Remus. Next to them were a pair of loveseat couches one for James and Lily, the other for Frank and Alice. Between the second loveseat and Moody's chair was a three person couch for Peter, Regulus, and Severus.

Once everyone was seated James spoke up, "Professor, why did they sit Peter with those two?"

Dumbledore frowned, "I'm not sure James…Mister Pettigrew do you know of any reason you would be seated with Misters Snape and Regulus Black."

Peter nervously swallowed, "No Professor, I don't know why."

A man in red robes seemed to ooze into the circle, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, no use lying, though all will be revealed shortly."

The blue robed man stepped forward and waved the red robed one away, "Since you all have many questions let us get started. As some of you may be suspicious of our identities allow me to introduce myself. I am known as Eternity, I came into existence at the first full second of time." Eternity then indicated the other beings that now stood outside the circle of furniture, "These are my family." He pointed at the man and child in orange robes, "This my father, Time, he came into existence at the inception of time."

Eternity then indicated the women in the yellow and purple robes, "My twin daughters, Discovery and Magic, both came into existence at the first thoughts of mankind." He then pointed out the men in red and green robes, "My sons Light and Darkness, they came during the conflict between mankind and themselves." He then indicated the woman wearing white robes, "My eldest daughter, Victory, she was born along with the first living soul."

Eternity then motioned the black robed man into the circle, "And this is my eldest son. He came forth from my shadow; he has many names among you mortals. The one he has chosen to use to identify himself is the simplest of them all. For he is the only one of us all mortals must answer to, for he is Death."

Death attempted to maintain his proud demeanor under the horrified gaze of the gathered mortals. Eternity then turned to Dumbledore, "We have used our power to turn back the wheel of time, this is the first time since this castle was built that we have done so. This is also the first time we as a whole revealed ourselves to such a large group of mortals. Usually only one of us would be present to inform those chosen of how to improve their future."

Eternity then turned to Death, "Why don't you start us of my son."

Death bowed as his father moved out of the circle. Death then began to speak to the group, "I'm to give you the basic information from the timeline as it happened before. My sister Victory will give you the information you'll need to improve your futures." Death walked over to the Heads of House couch, "Will you four please stand." They stood then Death walked over to the next couch, "Arthur, Molly, and Andromeda please stand." The three named people stood, Andromeda looked worriedly at Ted. Death then turned away from those standing, "You seven look at those still sitting. By dawn of May 2, 1998, all those still seated will have become permanent residents of my realm, or…" Death pointed to Frank and Alice, "They'd be in a state where they'd be better off with me."

Everyone looked shocked. McGonagall spoke, "There must be some mistake."

Death bowed his head, "I make no mistakes." Death pointed at Ted Tonks, "spring of 1998, killed by dark wizards while defending others trying to flee the Dark Lords forces." He pointed at Remus and spoke sadly, "You die alongside your wife, Nymphadora Lupin nee Tonks while defending Hogwarts during the final battle against Voldemort." Andromeda and Ted look surprised that Remus would one day be their son-in-law.

Death turned his attention to Sirius, "1995, you are killed in the Department of Mysteries while defending your godson Harry James Potter, who was lured there in a Death Eater trap." Death bowed his head toward James and Lily, "Halloween, 1981, killed while defending your son, after being betrayed to the Dark Lord." Death skipped Frank, Alice, and Peter, "I'll get back to you three in a moment."

He looked proudly at Regulus, "The most honorable death of all, Regulus Black, you sacrifice yourself to aid in the downfall of the Dark Lord." He turned to Snape, "Murdered by Voldemort in the Shrieking Shack…you use the last of your strength to pass on valuable information to the heroes of the light." He turned to Moody, "Alastor Moody, killed by Voldemort while diverting his attention from Harry James Potter. A most valiant death, though Voldemort would have never ended your life, but for the cowardly act of another."

Death then turned back to Frank and Alice, "You still live as of that dawn, but neither of you know, your bodies and minds have been separated after a cruel attack by Death Eaters." Death then glares at Pettigrew, "And as for you, you little rat, your fate was most befitting of a traitorous coward."

Pausing Death walked up to Dumbledore, "Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Leader of the Order of the Phoenix, you plan your own demise so a child does not become tainted with your death. A more caring headmaster I doubt there has ever been. Though misguided at times, I'm only disappointed that you willing abandoned those who needed you most."

Death allowed the knowledge to sink in and wait for their outbursts. James was the first to stand. He pulled his wand and pointed it at Peter, "You're the one who betrays us…have you already taken the mark?"

Darkness enters the circle, "I guess it is my turn to reveal some interesting secrets." Waving his hand for those standing to sit he moved to the three boys sitting next to Moody, "Please stand boys, and pull up your left sleeves."

Regulus and Severus share a look then stand and pull back their sleeves revealing the skull with a snake tongue. Everyone was surprised when Peter finale stood with them and also revealed his mark. Moody stood and pulled out his wand, "So you three little Death Eaters want to see what happens to your lot."

Dumbledore forced Moody to sit, "Alastor, enough, they are students. Even if they've taken the mark I'm sure they have done nothing as of yet."

Darkness smirked at Dumbledore, "Right you are about that. These three are currently still learning their way into evil; they won't officially join the Dark Lord until they've finished here." Darkness motions them to sit, and they comply. Darkness then turns to Remus, "Only one other secret remains…Remus Lupin…you are a werewolf."

Remus looked fearful at those around him. It was Moody who spoke first, "That's easy enough to sort out." Moody turned to Remus, "Since he is supposedly going to die defending this school, we can all agree which side he's on."

Darkness frowned as nobody else commented about the latest reveal. Death shook his head, "Darkness, you've had your fun, now get back to your place." Darkness backed away slowly.

Victory stepped forward, "Well then brother, since they're all depressed, why don't I get started.
