The Other Magical World

Chapter 52: Theories

"He knows." It was Katie that answered. "But for some reason he wants to help, like he wanted us to know about Flamel."

"But he didn't tell us anything!"

"Think about! He did in some sense."

"What do you mean Nix?"

"He answered yours and Katie's question."

"Not really Nix, he just tipped toed around them. He never gave a direct answer." Kaleb said. He looked over at Katie only to see her in deep thought.

"I think she is right."

"Okay, fill me in."

"Really Kaleb, did I leave the gang into the hands of a dunderhead?"

Both Kaleb and Katie just gave her a quizzical expression. "I'm sorry was that supposed to be an insult?" Kaleb asked.

'Wow, did that just come out of my mouth? When did I start picking that up? Where did I even get it? Oh my! It was from Snape! That is definitely going out of my vocab!'

"Never mind, back on topic." Phoenix brushed.

"When grandpa answered mine by saying he has seen many things in his line of work, that could've meant that he has seen it or knows someone how has seen the stone."

"Yeah, he is a whitelighter. And no telling how old he really is!"

"Then why ignore my question? He could have answered." Kaleb questioned.

"He did in his own way. He has this way of answering a question without really answering them. Grandpa does believe that the stone is real. He just couldn't tell us." Phoenix explained.

"He didn't want us to get our memory wiped."

"I think there is another reason he did not tell us anything."

"And I might just have that reason."

The twins looked over at Kaleb who had the face of an excited school boy.

"Remember what I told you, about my mom and some of the tribe elders? I think that this stone thing, not only affects the people in the other world, but the people in our world as well. I mean immortality? Who wouldn't want that! Maybe they are trying to protect it because of fear that it will get into the wrong hands. So, the elders allowed so many people to know about the where about of the stone and this Flamel guy. Then they had someone go and destroy information about the stone. But since there has been people writing about it, the elders allowed the stone to become nothing but a myth and legend. They can't say the stone is real because no one has proved its existents."

The twins just stared at him as if he grew another head.

"Wow Kaleb, when did you get the time to think of that?" Phoenix asked

"When you two were talking and thinking out loud."

"I like it!" Phoenix exclaimed with a huge grin on her face.

"Yeah, sounds like something the elders would do!" Katie added.

"When you want to know why they are hiding info just think like an elder!"

"Well, now I know the real reason why Fluffy would be guarding the stone. It is all adding up. Professor Dumbledore must know someone who knows the elders or knows an elder."

"Or he could be one."

"Um...Kaleb what are you talking about?"

"You said he was old."

"Yes, but…"

"And you said you can sense that he was a powerful wizard."

"Um…yeah."

"Well, I was just saying that maybe in that world, he would be considered an elder. The elders could possibly have Dumbledore keeping it secret and hidden at Hogwarts."

"That makes sense I guess."

"Why wouldn't they just have it hidden here at Magic School? It's magically protected."

"Think about it sis, mom doesn't know anything about the stone. You said you overheard Uncle Leo and Coop say that the elders didn't have mom or aunt Prue know. They would have to eventually tell mom about because it is her school and some student might run across it. She would be furious if she was out of the loop. Hogwarts is also magically protected. Dumbledore knows about the stone and he has the third-floor corridor blocked off. He is more in the loop. The elders wouldn't have to explain anything to him."

"There is one problem with his plan then."

"And what is that Kaleb?"

"He didn't plan on hiding it from you. Your mom would. You would figure out how to get in no time Nix!"

"Uh… No! Phoenix you better not plan on finding that stone!"

"Why not? Can I not have some fun? I must break this school into my devilish ways." Phoenix said with a nice grin on her face.

"Oh boy! I'm so glad I didn't say yes to that letter!"

"Oh, come on sis you know you miss me in class."

"Speaking of miss, can we pack up? My stomach is dying of hunger. Come to think of it, it is beyond hunger! It is starvation! We missed lunch and dinner is like around the corner."

"Okay, is being hungry all the time a guy thing because that is so like all the guys in my house!" Phoenix asked.

"Um…yes it is?"

"I guess, 'm getting hungry too. I didn't realize we have been here that long."

"Yeah sis, time flies by when you are having fun!"

"Who says researching was fun? I'd rather be in the action than be on the sidelines."

"And that is your problem. You act before you think."

"Well, I get that honestly!"

"Guys!"

"Okay whine baby!"

Phoenix took her wand out of her back pocket, flicked it, and the books slowly went back on the shelves.

"Still needs work."

"That has to be personal gain. Somehow it is personal gain."

"Well sis, in my second world, there is no such thing.'

"Okay fine, but I think there has to be a catch. Are you supposed to be using magic outside of school?"

"They would never know. I am not in England right now."

"Maybe they have tracking devices on those things?" Kaleb said point at the wand.

"Hmmm… well I'll find out sooner or later."

"I'm dying from starvation over here!"

"Okay!" The twins yelled.


A/N: Is it true about the Elders? What about Dumbledore? Is Kaleb's theory correct? What about Phoenix's? Until next time!!
