Chapter Ten: Greeting an Old Friend
Remus walked out of his small house and looks around. It was about mid morning. It has been one month to the day that The King Dragon- Dahaka told him that he would need to go where Harry was. He put his right hand into his coat pocket and made sure that he had the letters from the families of the children. He was about to start walking to Hogworts when he heard someone land behind him. He turned around and saw a brown haired young woman from a month ago. She was wearing a blue-collar shirt and a denim skirt with black sandals.
"Mr. Lupin, are you ready to go? My father is ready for you." she said nicely to him. She knew that he was the only one that could help her children when they return to school.
Remus walked up to her and smiled.
"Yes, I believe that I am ready as I'll ever be."
"Excellent, now if you would hold on to my hand we will get going" she said holding out her hand for him to take. He then held her hand and in a flash of white light he was in a different place. He was standing near what looked like a castle well part of one anyway.
The young woman let go of his hand and started to walk into the castle. He then follows her in. He looked around there was a large patch of flowers growing in the middle of the room. To the left were six doors with different carvings on them. Then to his right he saw a set of stairs that went up. He thought that it looked very medieval but the way that it was built it couldn't be. There was ancient writing all over the place. He started to walk around the room looking at all the writing. He couldn't read it but it some how made him feel like you knew what it said.
After some time he started to hear humming. He turns around and saw The King Dragon's daughter sitting down in the flower patch planting flowers and watering them. He smiles a little at that, he felt like asking where he was and where Harry and the others where. But a part of him didn't want to interrupt her.
"I believe the answer you're looking for is Atlantis" said a very wise voice.
Remus turns to the left to see Dahaka walking down the stairs and to him. He offers him his hand. The two shake.
"Welcome Mr. Lupin and thank you" stated The King.
"You're welcome, but it is you I should be thanking, I hope I can do some good here."
"I assure you that you will my dear boy."
Dahaka turns to his daughter and smiles. Moony glances at his daughter then back to him.
"If my hearing was correct did you happen to say Atlantis?"
The King turns back to his new friend and smiles.
"Indeed"
Remus gazed around and thought not in a million year would he be in the lost city of Atlantis.
"It is indeed a magnificence, but in its youth it was as if you lived in heaven itself."
"I would believe it. By the way, when could I see Harry and the others, I have some letters from their families" Moony said taking out the letters and showing them to the king. Before the king could answer him someone yelled at them.
"You will not give those letters to my children!" yelled a female voice.
The next thing that Remus knew the letters that where in his hand where gone. He then turns to see Kaida walking up to them with a very annoyed face. She had the letters in her hand. She stops right in front of him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lupin, but my children can not have these letters ever," she said then burned them in front of him.
Remus was beyond worry, anger, and confusion. He glanced from the King to his daughter and back again.
"Mr. Lupin I knew that it was in good intention to give the children the letters, but from here on out those families are no long their families," she told him with a very heartbreaking voice.
"Could I ask what you are talking about?"
Kaida started to get tears in her eyes and turns from them. She then started to walk away, and only stops once.
"Their families will never understand where they are coming from and why this is happening to them," she told him without turning around. She then went back to her flowers.
To say Remus was confused would be an understatement. He turns to the king. He saw that the king seems to be very upset about this.
"Mr. Dahaka, could you tell me what is going on, because I don't believe I understand what she is talking about."
The King nods and walks over to a broken window and gazed out on the ocean.
"The children are changing in a way that no one in your world would understand, at least to a point," he stops and turns to him.
"As I told your order, Harry and his friends' magics are changing to what magic use to be."
"Use to be, what do you mean?" asked Moony.
"In the old days before people feared magic, before the dark ages, people understood that magic was a part of everything. There was a bond with three different magics but is one magic.
"What are these different types of magic you're talking about?"
"I'm getting there, now these three parts are like a pyramid with each side having a role to play." While the King dragon was talking, he waves his hand and showed Remus a pyramid like one you would see in Egypt. He walks around it as he talks.
"Now on one side you have the first type of magic which is called The Flames of Phoenix,"
Once he said that an image appeared of a phoenix on the right side of the pyramid.
"Then the second type is called The Bonds of Fenrir,"
Then an image of a gigantic wolf appeared of the bottom of the pyramid.
"And last type is called The Wings of Seraph."
Then finally an image of an angel appeared on the left side of the pyramid.
"Now, over your time here with us we will teach you everything we can about these magics and also how you can help them when they return to school."
The image of the pyramid disappeared and Dahaka walked back over to Remus.
"I know that this is a lot, but believe me when I say that in the end you will know what to do."
Remus thought about what he was just told and then something just clicked in his mind.
"Harry and his friends won't know how to handle this, will they?"
"I fear that in the end they may have to return to Atlantis for good."
The two gentlemen thought about that for sometime. The next thing that they hear was an angelic voice. The men turn to see Kaida hold a white rose and singing to it. The song was calming them down.
The king smiled at his daughter and then turns to his new friend.
"Come, there is much to learn and very little time," he said holding out his hand and showing Remus the way to his room and his study. For the next month, Remus learned everything he could about the three types of magic and also a little about himself and what he could do. He also felt a change in him while he was there, but he didn't know what it was.
One morning he woke with a smile on his face. Today was the day that he was finally going to see the kids. He was looking forward to it. After a month of learning about the different magic, he was finally beginning to understand what the children were going through, but only to a point. He walked down to the main opening where the King and his daughter were waiting for him. He walked over to him and beams at them. Kaida just giggles at him while her father smiles back.
"Good morning Remus, sleep well?" asked The King.
"Yes, thank you."
"Excellent, then we should be on our way, the children are in different parts of Atlantis, so it will take some time."
Moony nodded and then with a flash of white light the three disappeared. The next thing they landed on a shore with an older woman with golden white hair waiting for them. She was wearing a light yellow sundress. She walks over to them and bows to her King and smiles at Kaida and then looks at Remus with a gaze of hope.
"Good morning my King, Princess. And you must be Mr. Lupin?" she asked with a kindness to her voice that he has never heard before.
"The same to you, Melody, I hope that everything is well?" asked her King.
"Everything is as well as it can be, I must say that one of my daughters will be happy to see you Kaida."
Kaida just blushed and glances elsewhere. Melody just giggles and looks back up at her houses.
"I'm sorry Miss Melody, but did you say daughters? For what I was told you had only one daughter, not two?" asked Remus who looked confused. He knew very little about the people training the children.
Melody meets his eyes, and he felt a cold shiver go down his spin. He couldn't take it anymore, and glanced away.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lupin, but I have two daughters. Now if you all would follow me." She said with coldness that would scare anyone or anything. As they walk up the house, or, in the case of Kaida, she ran up the stairs to see her best friend. Melody giggles has she watches her run all the way up, she knew in her heart that there was more to their friendship than just friends, but she wasn't going to say anything until they knew it themselves. She hoped that everything was going to be alright as she made her way up to the house.
"Everything will be just fine, my dear."
"Levia, is that you?"
"Who else can talk into your mind?"
"Very funny, Levia."
"But I did get you to smile, didn't I?"
Melody just smirks and giggles a little.
"Yes, you did…. Thanks"
"Anytime, so how is it going?"
"Alright, just that Mr. Lupin is here, and Ginny will be going with them."
"We knew this day would come, but don't worry too much, I have a feeling that they will be back before we know it"
That put a smile on her face; she then looked behind to see that her king and Lupin were just talking to one another.
"Thanks Levia."
"Well I better get back to Harry, see you later."
"Later Levia."
As they got closer to the house they could see two females talking to each other. One was Sera. She was wearing a short-sleeve white collar shirt with a hot pink skirt. The other was Kaida. They looked very happy to see one another. As they got to them, Remus didn't see Ginny anywhere.
"Mr. Lupin, Ginny will be right out," said Sera who didn't even look his way and started to talk to her best friend again. He nodded and looked out to the sea.
After awhile the front door opened and a somewhat taller young woman with very long flaming red hair came out holding a small bag. She was wearing a long white skirt and same color blouse. It had little black roses all over it. On her shoulder was a green haired creature. She looked very tired and happy too. She glances over all the people waiting for her. She looked at her green haired friend and smiles.
"What do you think, Carbuncle, are we ready to see the others?"
"Yes Ginevra, I believe in you, over these last two months you have trained harder than any human that I have ever seen. I will be coming with you, let's go."
"Thank you Carbuncle and you're lucky that I don't hit you for calling me that," she said playfully.
Moony watched as Ginny Weasley walked out of the ancient house. He could tell by the look in her eyes that she had changed a lot and he couldn't wait to see what her training has done for her. From his studying of her type of magic it could calm down the other two magics, and, if need be, could kill the soul of any of the others, but if it did her magic would torture her for as long as she lived. Before he left to get them, he remembered that her magic could bring something, but for the life of him he could remember what it was.
He walked over to her and smiles.
"Hello Ginny, it's good to see you."
"Hello Professor" she said and before he could offer her his hand, she gives him a big hug. Moony smiles and hug her back. He lets go and looks at her.
"I must say you look great, but I must know you're alright?"
Ginny knew he was going to ask that. She also knew that her family was worried about all of them. But the thing was that she didn't feel at all sad or upset about her family worrying about them.
"Professor, I must let you know that I don't feel sad or upset about leaving my family behind, I knew through my training that if I didn't coming I would have died."
He knew what she was talking about, but that was chat was for a different time.
"As for how I'm doing, I'll be alright, I just happy that I finally can see Harry and everyone else.
"Me too Ginny, me too"
Melody walks over to them, and smiles sadly.
"My dearest daughter; know that I will always be with you," she told her with the sadness voice she had. Ginny smiled warmly at her second mother, and hugs her.
"Don't worry too much mother, but know that I need to help Harry and my other friends and somehow we always find ourselves in trouble."
"I know my dear, but I have a feeling that this year will not be like the others."
"True, but you knew that we can't stay here forever, we have people to help."
"I know, but be carefully anyway."
"I will," Ginny told her and turns back to her favorite teacher.
When she turns around, Melody glances over to her King and also sees a very heartbreaking face.
The King walks over to them and smiles a little, but you could tell that he was very upset.
"Well then, I think it's about time we got going, your other friends are next, before we get to Harry."
Sera hugged her new sister; and slow hugs Kaida and kisses her on the check. The two of them blush. Melody embraces her red haired daughter once more and walks over to Sera and stands next to her.
Moony then offers his hand to her and Ginny takes it. She then looks once more at her new mother and sister, and then gazes to her shoulder where Carbuncle was lying over. It nodded its head at her, in saying that it was time.
Before they disappeared Ginny yells at them and says,
"I love you, and I will see you again!" then they were gone with a flash of white light.
Sera took her mother into an embraces and sings to her a little.
"She has no idea what's going on inside of her does she?" asked Sera.
"No, and with a part missing, she will never know until it is too late to do anything."
"We trained her the best we could with what we had, but until that part is found she will never understand fully."
"If there is one thing to be happy about, it's that Carbuncle will be with her."
"True, now let's get some lunch."
Her mother just nods and quietly the two walk back into the house and close the door behind them.
Antonia was outside gazing around trying to find something or someone. She was waiting for her King and Princess to appear with the young man that was going to help the children when they went back to school. She was very happy the way things have been going with the children. She smiles every time they sat down for dinner and talked about how their training was going. She even started to cry when the four new children called her mother.
She told them that they didn't have to call her that if they didn't want to, but they said that it just felt right, from that day on she was their mother, and her husband was father, and they even took her daughter and called her their little sister. She always wanted a big family, now she had it, but now she knew they had to go.
She had a pretty good idea of what they would have to go through and also what was happening inside them. She so wanted to go with them, but knew that she could only stay for so long up there. She felt a tear run down her check.
"Mother, what are you looking for?" asked a dreamy voice.
She turns around and sees Luna wearing a black sundress with little white spots all over it.
"I'm just waiting for your Professor Lupin to arrive, along with the King and the Princess."
"Oh, could I watch with you?"
"That would be nice dear, come over here."
Luna then runs over to her and hugs her. She then embraces her back.
"Thank you Luna."
Luna just smiles kindly up at her new mother. The two didn't have to wait long when a white flash appeared and then was gone. There in front of them was Ginny, Moony, Kaida, and Dahaka. Luna let go of her mother and ran over to her best friend and fly- tackled her. They both landed on the ground. Carbuncle jumped down just in time. The others started to laugh at the scene.
"I've miss you Gin," Luna told her shocked and happy best friend.
Ginny returns the embrace. They both get up but Luna wouldn't let go of her.
Lupin could tell that Luna has grown. Her hair was longer, and she has physically grown as well. He walked over to them and smiles. Luna smiles at him.
"Hello Luna, I see that you're doing well?"
"I have been doing great, I'm very happy that I came."
"I can see that, but I must say you missed someone more," he chuckles to himself.
Luna just blushes, and glances over to her best friend, and sees that she just smiles at her.
"Mom, when is lunch, I'm starving!" yelled a young man from the side door. Everyone turns around and sees Ron, with Neville right behind him.
"Well, I see that you're still always hungry," Ginny said sarcastically.
Ron was in shock because she seemed different but it didn't last long. He then runs over to her and bear-hugs her.
"Well with all this training, I get hungrier faster than I used to."
He then lets go, glances over her to make sure that she was alright.
"How have you been? Are you alright? Do you feel any different?"
His sister just smiles and nods to every question. She then gazes off to the other tall young man and smiles.
"Hello Neville, I hope everything is alright?"
The brown haired boy just nods and smiles back. Lupin just smirks at the four young students. He walks up to the two young men and shakes their hands.
"Ron, Neville, it's good to see you again."
"You as well, professor," they both said.
Moony started to glance around trying to find the last missing person.
"Who are you looking for, Mr. Lupin?" asked the mother.
"I was wondering where Hermione was?"
Antonia just gets a big grin on her face, while Luna, Neville and Ron shake their heads.
"She would be in my husband's study, reading everything she can about her new magic—even if my husband has told her a thousand times that the books will only tell her where it comes from, not how to use it, or how to control it."
Moony chuckles while Ginny giggles at that. Luna lets go of Ginny and walks over to the king and princess and just studies them. Kaida smiles at her, while the King nods his head in greeting. While studying them she could feel a great power coming from both of them, but it seems different than anything she has felt before. Kaida saw the confused look in her eyes.
With a kind and caring voice she asked, "What is the matter, my child?"
Luna looks up and smiles.
"With my training I can feel different magic, but there is something about yours that is very different, why?"
Before she could answer someone with brownish hair does.
"That would be because they are part of Atlantis itself—how that can be I don't know."
Everyone turns around to face the house again but this time they saw Hermione with Orion, and Aida behind her. The three walk up to the group and greet them. Hermione hugs Ginny and nods at Moony. Kaida just smiles at her and walks up to her.
"Very good my child, but that is only partly right,"
Hermione looked shocked.
"But it said in a book about your people's history, that the King and his children get their magic from Atlantis."
"That is true, but that was when Atlantis was still around, it has been thousands of years ago since then. The Atlantis you see around you is what is left. You all will understand better when you start your new training with me and my father, but first we need to get Harry, after lunch of course." She said while smiling at Ron.
Everyone laughs, and walks into the house for lunch. Luna, Ginny and Hermione sat together talking about that they been doing in the last two months. As they were doing that, Ron and Neville talked to Remus about what they have been learning.
Remus was happy to hear what they have been doing all this time. While the boys talk about everything he couldn't help but notice that every time that the boys talked about girls they would glance over at them. It looked as Neville would keep talking about Luna and the same would go for Ron but he would talk about Hermione.
He just smiles at that and would let them uncover how they feel for the young ladies for themselves. As lunch came to end he could tell that the five teenagers were getting worried, exultant, and depressed. He knew as their teacher he had to help. So he thought back to his training and then stood up.
"Luna, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Ron."
The five turn to see what he wanted.
"I know that we're going to see Harry next, and I can tell from your faces that you're all worried, but let me say this—I have never in my life seen a group of friends care so much about one person. From what I know, Harry is doing better, thanks to a woman by the name of Levia. Now let's just see how he is and if need be come up with a game play to help him, alright?"
The five nodded and walked out of the house. Remus glances around and sees smiling faces on everyone in the room.
"Thank you, Mr. Lupin, now I can say goodbye to my children, knowing that they are in good hands," said Antonia with tears in her eyes. Her husband nods. Then he, his daughter, and his wife walk outside to say goodbye to their second children.
Dahaka walks over to Moony along with his daughter.
"That was great, now let's be on our way."
Moony just nods and they walked outside where everyone was waiting for them. Antonia was just finishing her goodbyes, and stood with her husband and daughter. The five stood around each other waiting go see their best friend and leader. Kaida walked over to the girls and took their hands, smiled at them and then disappeared with a white flash, Remus and the King did the same for the boys.
Orion embraces his wife, while she embraces their daughter. He knew that he would see them again someday.
Harry was sitting over the edge of the waterfall that he has been training with for the last two months. He glances down and sees all the kids playing in the rose garden. It put a small smile on his face. He gazes out at the open ocean. His thoughts drifted and he wondered how his friends were doing. He knew that he missed them and hoped that he would see them soon.
"There you are," said a peaceful voice from behind him. He smiles and knew who it was.
"You always know where I am, Creda."
She just giggles and sits down next to him.
"Well, mother wanted me to let you know that your friends will be here in a little while."
Before she could say anything else, he jumped down the waterfall and landed in the water, got out and ran into the house to get ready.
That put a smile to Creda's face, but her eyes told you a different story. It showed happiness and sadness. She was happy to be with him after all this time, but was sad because she knew that his next part of his training will be even harder than just coming to know who he was.
"He will be alright, as long as you and his friends are with him," said a wise voice.
She turns around and sees her king standing right behind her. He had a smile on his face that shows true happiness. She jumped up and hugged him. He returned the embrace.
As they stood on the top the waterfall, Levia was waiting on the field for her guest. She heard two pairs of feet running up to her. She didn't even have to turn to tell who it was. She knew that he would be happy to see them again.
"Hello Harry. And you too, Shiva."
Harry stopped next to her and smiled at her. While Shiva walks in front of them and lies down on the cool damp grass. The next thing they saw was a white flash that disappeared just as fast. Harry couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at his best friends Ron and Hermione and then at all the others. When he came to Ginny, flashes of Creda went though his head. He shakes his head and looked at her again. When his eyes landed on his Professor from his third year they got gigantic. He knew that his friends were in Atlantis, but he had no idea that Professor Lupin was here too.
"You alright there, Harry?" asked his Professor.
Harry just nods and walks slowly up to his friends he then sees that there is another one with them. She smiles at him.
"Hello Harry, my name is Kaida, I'm the princess of Atlantis"
Harry didn't know what to say, he knew that he was happy to see everyone, even Moony, but he didn't knew why they were here. Levia only told him that his friends were in Atlantis with good friend of hers. He turns to her and saw her smile. She then walks up to him.
"Harry, it's alright, everything will be explained in good time, but for now talk to them, let them know that you are alright," she said with a motherly voice.
He turns back to his friends. He could tell that they were just as worried as he was.
He glances at all their faces and sees hope, happiness, and fear. He then smiles at them a true one.
"Guys…."
He never had a chance to say what he wanted to because his friends run up to him and hug him as one big group. They all fell onto the ground. The other three just laugh at the sight. The others laugh too. After awhile they stop and get off the ground.
"How have you guys been? I must say that all of you look great."
"I believe I can speak for everyone and say that we're great, but we're doing better now that we know that you're doing alright" said Ginny with a very calming voice.
"That's great, and I'm doing great as well—well the best I can be for only two months that I have been here."
"Well, whatever she has been teaching you, it has done great for you," replied Luna.
"How long are you staying?"
The five look at one another and then at him.
"What?"
"Harry were staying with you, at least that is what our mother told us," replied Neville.
To say Harry was confused would be an understatement. He looks at them and saw that they were confused as well.
"To answer everyone's question, you seven, along with Mr. Lupin, my daughter, and I will be going to a different part of Atlantis to start a new type of training—one in which you will work as a team.
Everyone turned around and saw Dahaka and Creda walking up to them.
"Who are you?" asked Harry. He was getting upset because no one was telling him what was going on.
"My name is Dahaka, King of Atlantis, you already know my daughter," he said pointing to her and she and Creda hug.
Harry looks around, he could tell that something was going on here and he was the only one that didn't know.
"Would someone just tell me what is going on around here?!" He yells and flames started go come out of nowhere. The grass started on fire, but was put out with a wave of Levia's hand.
"Harry…" was all that she said with a very calm but understanding voice.
"Sorry, I don't understand that is going on, what training, I mean the only training that I got was to help me understand myself better."
"Under the assistance of close friends of mine, they took your closest friends under their wings and trained them under a new or old type of magic."
"What are you talking about Levia?"
"Harry, you and your friends' magic have changed into what magic was in the very beginning."
"What?" Before more flames came out of nowhere, Harry started to feel something that was calming him down. It was like an angel singing. He looks around and found that the humming was coming from Ginny.
"Ginny?" he thought.
He closed his eyes, he felt like he was back under the waterfall, but this time it didn't feel cold, it felt like the fire in this soul was falling asleep. He then opened his eyes again, glanced around and stopped at Ginny.
"What did you do?"
"Over your new training, you will understand each other's magic, and also what you can do as a team," told Remus smiling at them.
Harry and the others just nod that they understand. Harry then glances once more. He had a feeling that this new training wasn't doing to be easy. For the look on his friends' faces, they felt the same way, but something about this just seemed right. He felt someone next to him. He gazed over and saw Creda next to him, smiling. He smirks back. She then takes his hand in hers. Ginny saw this and felt angry, but was stopped when she felt her friend on her shoulder. She turns her head and saw it looking at her.
"Carbuncle?"
"Human, do not feel angry, because it will not help. Think closely about your training and what it taught you and what you know."
Ginny closed her eyes and took a breath. She then reopened them and smiled.
"Thank you Carbuncle, I needed to hear that."
"Anytime, Human"
As everyone was talking and waiting to get going, the king glances over at everyone, and smiled. He then walks over to the middle and claps his hands. Everyone stops what they're doing and looks at him.
"It's time, now everyone close your eyes."
Everyone that was doing the new training disappeared with a black flash. The only ones left were Levia, Shiva, and himself. She turns to him and had a heartbreaking face.
"Try not to worry; I will take care of them."
"I know. I just feel that he and she will come together in the end, but will it be too late?"
"I believe that in time they will come together, I would fear anyone that would try to hurt them, they would not live long."
"Scary."
"Indeed."
The two hug and he disappeared. Levia then just looks at the spot where her father was and then turns to Shiva and smiles happily.
"Well, Shiva, what do you say about all this?"
The dog just wags her tail, and run around her. She giggles at her.
"I thought so too."
The two then walk back to the house, thinking about what was doing to happen to Harry and his friends.
