After a few minutes of waiting and answering all questions calmly, when the Veritaserum arrived, half the room was already convinced that Lorcan was from the future. After taking the clear liquid, Lorcan answered more questions automatically, without blinking, from the most basic, going through the proof of his identity, to more complex questions, some of which Lorcan really did not know how to answer. Dumbledore made it clear that playing with time was dangerous, so the questions were meticulously careful. When the interrogation ended, the room was in a morbid silence, full of people with curious faces, some frightened, others pale, confused and nauseated.

-Merlin ... how ... how did we get to that point, Albus? the world like that ... He destroyed everything.

- I know - Said Dumbledore, his face pale for the first time, not knowing what to say.

-And what are we going to do now? - Asked Arthur Weasley, holding Molly's hand.

-I think I should speak to Mr. Lovegood and tell the truth. Lorcan may be able to pass himself off as a distant cousin and, therefore, be with his relatives without arousing suspicion. Of course, Miss Lovegood must not know anything for now, we must avoid any kind of confusion.

Lorcan's heart skipped a beat. He would see his mother again. His father too. The situation seemed so unreal a few hours ago and, at that moment, he was so close.

- Will I be able to go to Hogwarts this year? - Going to Hogwarts would mean getting closer to them each day. By Lorcan's calculations, the semester would start soon and as much as he wanted to meet his grandfather and spend time with him, he really wanted to be with his parents, even if they didn't know it.

⁃ I don't see why not - Dumbledore smiled tiredly and Lorcan was lit up with happiness - So, I think we're done for today. I must speak to Mr. Lovegood now. Molly, Arthur, can I ask you a favor?

⁃ Anything, Albus - said Molly and Arthur nodded

⁃ Could you invite Miss. Lovegood for dinner at your place tonight? It wouldn't be good for Luna to be present during my conversation with Xenophilius

⁃ Sure, I'm going to talk to Gina, she can come with me and invite her

⁃ Thank you very much Molly, Arthur. I'll be waiting for a warning at Hogwarts, as soon as Miss. Luna is at her house I will go to Xenophilius.

⁃ Yes, we will send

⁃ We can go over there with Lorcan later to pick her up. What do you think?- He asked, looking at Lorcan - Harry will also be there

- yes! - Said Lorcan faster than light - I... that would be very good

- So, we are resolved... Well, I think if we don't have any more problems to deal with, this meeting is closed today. A good night, everyone. - Said Dumbledore gently and then everyone said goodbye briefly and left, just like Molly and Arthur. ⁃ Come on Lorcan? take your wand

Lorcan went to her and picked her up

- Have you apparated before?

⁃ Yes sir, sometimes with my parents

⁃ So, hold my arm tightly, the left one if you don't mind

Lorcan grabbed Dumbledore's arm and in the next moment everything went black, being pulled in all directions, his eardrums started to hurt and then they arrived.

-I thought it wasn't possible to Apparate at Hogwarts, sir

-Let's say I have some advantages as a director - he replied simply, smiling - come on, here

After walking a few corridors, Dumbledore stopped in front of a stone gargoyle that opened quickly. Dumbledore entered and Lorcan was right behind.

Director Dumbledore's office was a large circular room with many windows, paintings and books everywhere. It was really incredible. In the center of the room, a phoenix more graceful than Lorcan had ever seen was looking at him with its big, bright eyes.

-Wow! -Lorcan walked over to the bird and started stroking her feathers - he's beautiful

- His name is Fawkes. I think he likes you

- They say that phoenixes are generally independent creatures. How long have you been with her, sir?

- Longer than I can remember. Fawkes is my closest friend. Lemon drops?

Lorcan looked at the candies in the can and took one, as did Dumbledore, putting it in his mouth

- They are very good, thank you

Dumbledore smiled

-Lorcan ... I know it can be difficult, but I need you to promise me something ... Miss Lovegood and Harry must not know that they are your parents, at least for the time being. We must be careful with the weather or horrible things can happen, perhaps worse than your future. You understand?

- Yes... I understand

- Well - said Dumbledore, looking at him - You look like your father, maybe we should change the color of your hair to blond, after talking with Xelorfillios. Don't worry, it's not permanent.

Lorcan tried to imagine himself with blond hair and in his imagination he looked funny.

-Right. Hamm, you said it was not the right time ... But one day they will know, right? That I am their son

⁃ We will find a moment, certainly. Ah! this was much faster than i expected - said Dumbledore when a slender white owl entered the room. As he took the bill the animal was carrying, Dumbledore's face lost all color and his eyes widened. Taking a quill quickly and scribbling two notes, he handed them to Fawkes, looked at Lorcan and said - We have to go fast, take my arm.
