Different Moon
Chapter 10
"Honey I'm home" shouted Damon's mother from the door.
"I'm in the kitchen mum" said Damon softly.
"I have you're favourite son…oh I see we have someone else joining us for dinner is this you're headmaster?" asked Diane smiling softly. Hoping her son hadn't gotten into any trouble, she knew her son better than that so she wasn't so worried. Years ago she would have been afraid but now she was just curious.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs Gibbs I'm Edmund Quebec" smiled Edmund shaking her hand softly.
"It's very nice to meet you, Damon why don't you go and get the table set up" said Diane.
Damon nodded his head and quickly got everything they would need for a casual meal. Then proceeded to make the table, setting up a place for Edmund to eat hoping against hope that everything would go ok. That his parents wouldn't freak out that he had magic, and let him attend.
"You're really quiet today Damon are you feeling ill? Or have you had trouble at school?" asked Diane looking concerned at her son.
"I'm fine mum" smiled Harry tight lipped.
Diane just rose her eyebrow slightly, she knew her son better than that and sighed softly, she would let her son tell them when she was ready. As soon as she said that another car drove into their garage her husband had just gotten back from the office.
"How was work dear?" asked Diane as soon as she heard the garage door shutting.
"The usual my secretary managed to screw everything up so I had to sack her I've given her too many chances! So I have to find a new one" sighed the man loosening his tie looking forward to just relaxing at home.
"And who do we have here?" he asked when he caught sight of the strange man sitting at their table.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Gibbs I'm Edmund Quebec" smiled Edmund shaking the man's hand.
"Same, same please call me Damien" smiled the man friendly.
"Then I insist you call me Edmund" smirked Edmund.
"Do you want to get changed while we get the food on the plates" smiled Diane.
"Yes, I'll be back in five minutes" said Damien kissing his wife on the lips before going up the stairs. She knew him better than he even knew himself sometimes, usually he wouldn't wear jeans and t-shirts when someone was in their house but he was knackered and just wanted to relax something you couldn't really do in a suit.

"So how is it you know our son?" asked Damien sitting down more comfortably now.
"Well I just met him this afternoon, he's a very smart young man" complemented Edmund trustfully.
"That he is" beamed Damien proudly.
"I'm not sure if you have heard of Dragon Academy, the magical school or not" said Edmund softly as if trying to let them know that he wasn't joking.
"Of course my mother was a Muggle born witch unfortunately she left the magical world after graduating and got a job and found my father" said Damien softly.
"My sister was magical…she was killed during the war in Great Britain" said Diane sadly.
"Why did you never tell me?" asked Damon wide eyed.
"Oh dear would you really have believed me?" asked Diane softly.
Damon had to concede that point, he hadn't believed it himself until now that was. Sighing softly well this would make everything so much easier for him.
"Damon's magical then?" asked Damien.
"Indeed he is" said Edmund.
"But not enough to go to Magical school then?" sighed Diane sadly.
"What made you under that impression?" asked Edmund surprised.
"Well my sister was accepted when she was ten years old, Damon is now sixteen years old he should have graduated by now" said Diane.
"His magic was bound" explained Edmund.
"Excuse me? Isn't that illegal?" demanded Diane looking for blood if the look on her face was anything to go by.
"Indeed it is, not even the hardened magical criminals get their magic blocked as Damon did" agreed Edmund wholeheartedly. It was against the law to bind someone's magic; it was seem as one of the worst crimes one could commit.
"So Damon's real parents are they magical? Do you know who they are?" asked Damien.
"I have a good idea whom they are the name Potter isn't exactly very popular" sighed Edmund.
"Do you want to know them Damon?" asked Diane looking ill all of a sudden. She was scared her son was being taken away from her just like her sister had. Unlike Damien's mother her sister had decided to stay. Not only that if Damon went back to his family she would never see him again.
"I want to see who they are and demand an explanation as to why they bound my magic and gave me away…perhaps meet any siblings I have other than that I have no intention of calling them my parents" said Damon softly.
Diane relaxed completely, she knew her son wouldn't do such a thing, maybe when he had first found out he was adopted but not now. She was always going to remain Damon's mother and that made her heart return to its normal rhythm. Damien held onto her hand, as if he knew what she was going through, he did - he understood of course because Damon had been his son for fifteen years now and he loved him. He would do anything for his son, and his reassuring words soothed any doubt he had.
"So do you want to attend this magical school son?" asked Damien.
"I do but I also want to continue with my normal education" said Damon "So Edmund has offered me a way to do that"
"How can he do that?" asked Damien curiously.
"Well I can give him a time turner and a Portkey that will bring him to school every day" said Edmund. "However as I explained to Damon it's not going to be easy but I think I can have him graduated in a year"
"You will be training him yourself?" asked Diane wide eyed.
"I will indeed, it's much better than him drudging through the classes" said Edmund.
"So he will be you're apprentice?" replied Damien softly.
"Indeed he will" said Edmund nodding curtly.
"This decision is yours and yours alone son, if you want to attend I will gladly sign the papers" said Damien.
"I'm going to do it" said Damon determinedly.
"He is very powerful magically, for him to able to alert us when the bonds on his magic broke" said Edmund.
Damien and Diane beamed in happiness their son was even more special than they had ever imagined.
"I will send you the papers, Portkey and of course the time turner with instructions to you when I get back to the school. You won't start until next week so I will see you first thing in the morning in a week's time" said Edmund.
"Please stay and have dinner we have some other questions we would love answered!" said Diane.
"Even if it's a bit cold" said Damon laughing softly.
"That wont be a problem!" said Edmund quickly using his wand to heat the cold dinners up.
That done, Edmund, Diane, Damien and Damon ate their dinner and had a nice conversation questions about magic continued to circle the table. Damon had never felt so at free as he did right now. It was like a part of him had been missing - not that it was returned he felt more whole and happier than ever before.
Life was good.
How did you like that? happy that Damons Parents are accepting and already know about magic? will Damiens mother still be alive? and perhaps know someone in the wizarding world? know more than Damien realizes? will she know who damon is? or will she be long dead? will Damon be able to last an entire year using a time turner without affects showing?
