Twenty-Five: Explanation
"Ah Miss. Price, I've been expecting you." Dumbledore was seated behind his desk, his head topped with a dark blue night cap covered in silver stars.
"I'm confused…I just saw…" Jude trailed off closing her eyes trying to comprehend what was happening.
"There was white light and then…" She shook her head feeling like she wasn't making any sense.
"Well I do have an explanation for you Jude-Anna." Dumbledore said reassuringly, his face was set in a calm expression.
"It seems you have fallen prey to the book of time."
"That was supposed to be nothing but a legend, Professor Binns said…and that would mean that I'm…what year is it?"
Dumbledore smiled and nodded. "It is September 31st 1976."
She counted the years until she was born and closed her eyes. "I'm…I'm…" Jude couldn't even finish her own sentence without feeling completely lost.
"I want to warn you Miss. Price, as I have only encountered the book twice in my life time I cannot say how long you will be here, or when you shall return to your own time. But as long as you are here, you must be very careful. Time is a very dangerous thing when tampered with."
Jude nodded and sighed.
"You shall take Gryffindor house and I shall warn the Professors. Again I caution you, no matter what you see here and what happens you must not change the future."
