Chapter Three: Back to the Past
Remus' POV:
"How did he learn of him?" Albus asked the twinkle that's always in his eyes gone.
"Once he was done doing Crucio to us over and over he explained that he suddenly was able to see in a mind of what he thought was Harry after trying to find the boy for almost two years." Everyone looked to Adam in shock then.
"Didn't Harry teach you to guard your mind from others?" Hermione asked.
"Of course he did, but I never felt the need to keep them up. Mother was the only one that could get into my mind and I never had anything I wanted to hide from him." Adam said and looked down. "Of course mother would always surprise me and go into my mind and he always got annoyed when he realized I had to put up my walls only after he was inside."
"And you never once thought that it would be wise to put them up in this time?" Snape sneered.
Adam glared at him. "I was more concerned on figuring out how I ended up hundreds of years in the future while my parents were in the past in the hands of Romans!" he snapped right back.
"Did you feel anyone trying to get inside your mind?" Sirius asked.
Adam sighed but nodded. "I felt a little headache while everyone was explaining the boxes and the spell and I instantly put them up. I didn't know what it was but I know my head always hurt whenever mother got inside my mind."
"I agree there is a slight pain whenever he is within our minds." Crixus said nodding. "Brother entered our minds only once to prove he was able to do so. That was many years ago." Crixus said obviously knowing my question.
I nodded and turned back to Adam. "Regardless of fear or worry, you are smarter than an average eight year old, and to forget to put up walls in your mind in a time like this is just reckless." I said.
"I'm sorry okay!" Adam yelled crossing his arms pouting.
I sighed and looked to him. "How's an eight year old powerful enough to learn everything you've learned anyways? Most kids with magic can't control it until they go to Hogwarts." I asked changing the subject some.
Adam looked to me but continued to pout. "Mother's powerful, so any children born with his blood is going to be just as powerful." He said before leaning more on the table. "Mother thinks I'll be more powerful than even him before I'm sixteen." He looked back to me. "It's very hard to control it sometimes." He admitted.
"And will continue to be difficult until your mother is once more giving you his knowledge." Nasir said and Adam nodded.
"That's all well and good but none of that really explains how You-Know-Who was able to sense Adam's presence." Molly said.
"My guess would be because of the blood Voldemort took in order to regain a body. Since Adam has Harry's blood that must be how he sensed Adam." Albus said and that did make sense.
Harry kept saying all his fifth year that it felt like they were connected. Perhaps this is similar to what he meant.
"That still doesn't explain why he just now learned of the boy." Arthur said.
"Voldemort did not say, however, whatever the reason made him even angrier." Lucius said as he and Draco sat down.
Albus nodded and looked around the table. "It appears we will need to perform the spell faster than I thought."
"What spell?" Draco asked.
"I shall catch you and your father up with all that was discovered before you arrived." Albus said and looked to us. "In the meantime we need to know who all is going with the rebel leaders back in time."
"I'll go." Ron said causing Molly to look shocked at her son.
"Absolutely n-."
"He's my friend mum." Ron said interrupting her. "I should've seen the signs when he was with us. If I have a chance to look him in the eyes and tell him sorry and bring his boy back to him then I will." Molly stared at her son before smiling proudly at him.
"Well then."
"It looks like-."
"Our little brother will need us to protect him." The twins ended together.
Molly looked a little worried that not only were three of her sons going, but that the twins would be in a time period without her to watch them.
"If Ron's going then so am I." Hermione said taking his hand.
"Siri and I are going." I said for the both of us to which Sirius nodded.
"Severus are you going with us?" Albus asked.
Snape looked to him then sighed. "It appears I have no choice."
"I'll go." Draco said.
"You don't even know what you're agreeing to." Lucius said and Draco looked to him.
"I kinda get the gist of it father. Something happened to Harry and they're all going to help rescue him. They'll need all the help they can get. Besides, Harry's my friend too." I smiled at Draco.
It was true, the kids hated each other until fourth year when the rest of Harry's friends were angry at him Draco stepped up, revealed his and his father's true side, and they became close friends instantly. When Harry's friends were no longer angry they too became Draco's friends.
Lucius just sighed but then nodded. "Very well, just be careful." Draco nodded and looked back to the others.
"I-I'll go." Neville said and I smiled at him.
"You don't have to if you don't want to Neville."
"I know, but Harry's always been a good friend. If I can help him then I should take the chance." I nodded and looked back to Albus.
"Then it's settled. The ten going should go and prepare all they feel is necessary to bring. We do not know how long we will be there." The table nodded and those going back in time went to pack leaving the rebels to being to think of plans for when we get back in time.
Gannicus' POV:
"Did you see that?" I asked leaning to whisper to Agron.
Agron looked to me in confusion. "See what?"
I smiled at him. "The angel that has appeared but moments ago." Agron was silent in thought before looking to me.
"The golden haired child?" I nodded and looked to where the angel had disappeared through the door that led to the stairs.
"The room seems to have darkened at the absence of his presence." I said softly.
I felt a pat upon my back and turned to face Agron's smile.
"It appears you have relinquished your love for our brother." I smiled as I once more stared at the stairs.
It was true that over the years my love for beauty had turned to that of a brother, but there was still a part of my heart that would always belong to Harry.
However, when that boy, that angel, appeared before those around the table it was like my world became whole. Like I was finally able to take a proper breath.
I smiled brighter and looked to Agron once more. "I now know that my love I held for Harry is nothing like the one Spartacus holds for him. I believe I am beginning to finally understand what Spartacus means when saying Harry has given him a reason to draw breath." Agron laughed confusing me.
"Not a word has been spoken between you yet you speak of love? Was it not the same mindset that set you upon the path of chasing Harry?" I just glared at my brother and turned to my other brothers and sisters to aid in planning our next move.
Ron's POV:
I came downstairs holding Hermione's hand holding a bottomless sac that had both our things in it.
In the living room already was Albus, Snape, Pro-Remus, Sirius, the twins, and Draco who seemed to be talking to Gannicus quietly on the couch.
Turning I saw Neville coming down right behind us and offered him a smile as we turned to face Albus as he spoke.
"We must hurry. We do not know what all Voldemort saw in Adam's mind and he could be trying to get at the boy as we speak." Everyone tensed and Agron pulled Adam closer to him.
"Now then," Albus said and nodded to Snape who placed a box on the floor then handed Hermione the other one, "You two keep this box safe at all cost." Hermione nodded at Albus and turned to me as I opened the sac letting her put the box in it.
Once that was done everyone stood around the box and eight circled around us.
"What time period should we think on?" Neville asked the rebels.
The rebels shared a look before nodding and Laeta spoke. "Turn thoughts to year 63 six months into the year." She said and we all nodded. "Place us upon the field of our brothers' home. For that will give us some coverage from searching eyes." Again everyone nodded.
I took Hermione's hand and breathed in deeply before getting out of the circle to stand beside Albus, Snape, the twins, Remus, Sirius, and Draco leaving Hermione and Neville in the middle with the rebels.
"Remember, we must chant as one and continue to only think of the time period they have told us about." Albus reminded having everyone nod.
Taking a deep breath the eight doing the spell spoke.
"Disputationi" as soon as we spoke the box gave off a strange hissing noise.
I stayed focused on the year 63, however, and made sure to speak when the others did.
"Disputationi" the hissing got louder.
"Disputationi" the ruby on the lid began to glow brightly.
"Disputationi." A white light then.
Nothing.
Adam's POV:
The first thing I saw was the sky. Blue and the sun high within it.
Looking around I sat up quickly when I saw familiar land.
And a familiar house.
"We're home." I whispered then looked around and saw the others slowly sitting up. "We're home!" I said louder, a big smile on my face.
The others looked around and stood quickly when they realized I was right.
I smiled at them once more before rushing to the house ignoring uncle Crixus' calling to me.
The moment I entered the house I paused.
Something was very wrong.
Before walking into this house love and happiness was the only thing that could be felt. Now, now the only feelings are sadness and loneness.
Slowly I walked into the house and the memory of what happened began to play out before my eyes.
I saw mother sending me to wash up. I could see the Romans entering the house and mother screaming at them. I saw myself come out of the washroom and try to protect mother.
I walked slowly to the kitchen as more memories came to me.
When I finally turned the corner I could only stand there and look upon what was on the ground.
"You mustn't run off little one." Aunt Laeta gasped as she ran to my side.
When I did not look to her she looked to where my gaze was and gasped at the blood upon the ground.
"Turn gaze little one." Aunt Laeta said pulling me to her chest to block view.
Footsteps behind her told me the others were now with us.
All was silent until I felt someone behind me.
"There is no proof this blood came from Harry." Uncle Agron said placing hand upon shoulder.
I just nodded and moved more into aunt Laeta's comforting embrace.
"Mother did succeed in killing some. I pray this blood belonged to only those men." I said but still refused to leave aunt Laeta's embrace.
"Come, let us remove ourselves from this house." Aunt Naevia said and aunt Laeta turned me to the door and led me through it.
As we walked outside I looked around and saw more blood just a little ways from the house.
"Blood once more belongs to an unknown owner." Uncle Crixus tried to comfort. I just nodded and rushed to the woods to get away from the only home I'd ever known.
Once I was far enough that the house was barely seen I stopped and waited for the others to catch up.
'Mother and father are fine. Their trackers are still active.' I told myself clinging tightly to the locket mother gave me as the others finally arrived.
"You must never run off like that young one! For we are back in a time where men are waiting to end our lives." Uncle Crixus warned clearly a little upset.
"Apologies." Was all I said and took a calming breath then forcing a smile.
Uncle looked unsure but still turned to the others. "You are now in our time. A time where a man can gaze upon you and decide that it is your time to see the afterlife without much reason. Because of this you will need to become familiar with the taste of steel."
"You mean you want us to learn to use swords?!" Neville asked looking afraid.
"If you wish to see your time once more you are without choice." Uncle Agron said.
"But, wouldn't our magic be more useful in this time? After all Harry's still alive and he mainly used magic." Hermione said.
"Harry has nearly seen the afterlife on a few occasions and he had wandless magic." Uncle Nasir said. "You yet hold your wands, something that will give you a distinct disadvantage that our enemies will take notice of quickly."
The people of mother's old time blinked in surprise. "You know about wands?" Remus asked.
"Of course. Our brother did explain much of his old time if you recall us mentioning." Uncle Crixus said.
"What if we don't want to learn to use a sword?" Hermione asked and even I couldn't stop the glare at her question.
"Then you will be a burden upon the field of battle and you will die." Uncle Agron said honestly.
Silence fell upon us for a moment before Albus spoke. "Give them time to think on it. It comes without saying most or all of us were not expecting to have to use swords when we have our magic." Albus said.
"What would cause such thoughts to enter mind?!" aunt Naevia asked.
"You people truly are arrogant." Uncle Gannicus said then moved to stand closer to Draco who slightly blushed.
"We're not arrogant!" Hermione growled.
"Those who would think themselves powerful enough to stand without weapon against an enemy is arrogant." Uncle Gannicus said and Hermione glared at him.
"Our wands are our weapons." She argued.
Uncle Agron went to answer when Albus spoke up.
"Enough," we all looked to him, "let us think on it longer. For now we should continue on with the plan. The sooner we find a lead on one or both of them the faster they can be saved." We all nodded at him and uncle Crixus took the lead as we headed into town.
Once in town the first thing we did was buy food and water and placing them in one of the bottomless sacs the wizards brought with them. Once that was finished we all split up and began asking around to see if anyone had seen or heard anything about mother or father.
Hours later we all met up at the center on the town with no luck from any of us.
"Shit is all that is handed to us! We have been gone too long from this time. Whereabouts of our brothers are all buried and forgotten by now." Uncle Agron growled.
"Hour is growing late. We should find a place to rest and begin search tomorrow." Aunt Laeta said and I nodded yawning to show her point.
"Should we return to the house?" Neville asked and I tensed at the thought of going back there without mother and father.
"No, we shall find other means to rest for the night." Uncle Crixus said and turned to the wizards. "Can you turn some stones into tents?" they nodded. "Then we shall retire to the woods for the night." With that said he led us to the woods where about half way in the wizards turned anything around us into enough tents for all of us while uncles Agron and Nasir got a fire going.
"How is it you came by some money?" Fred- or George? - asked.
"Coin well earned from the crops grown upon the fields Spartacus and Harry created." Uncle Crixus said aiding uncle Agron to light a fire.
All went silent once more as aunt Laeta and aunt Naevia prepared the food.
Dinner was also silent expect for the quiet talking between uncle Gannicus and Draco and a question sometimes from Ron or Hermione about this time they came into.
Once dinner was finished everyone retired to their tents for the night.
The next morning once everyone had eaten we headed back to market in hopes of this day baring fruit for our cause.
After three hours passed uncle Gannicus came running up to me and Sirius.
"A women speaks of Spartacus!" I wasted no time in chasing after my uncle.
Once we arrived in an alley way where the others stood waiting with a woman standing in the middle of them all.
"You know of my father?" I asked once I was in front of her.
She looked to me before nodding slowly looking around to see if unwanted ears were listening.
"I was there the day your father was bought by Cornelius Decimus." My family tensed while I and those of the future remained confused.
"He's a Roman so he must be a bad person, but why would he cause you to be scared?" I asked looking around at them all.
It was aunt Laeta who answered with a smile.
"Nothing that should be of concern to y-."
"Do not treat me as a child." I growled shocking all of them. "If I truly am so advanced for my age then treat me as such and tell me what fate has fallen upon my father!"
The others remained shocked as they stared at me.
"Apologies young one," uncle Crixus said causing me to look at him, "we do not keep such knowledge from you because of age, we keep it because of the pain it will cause." Worry entered me then.
"What do you mean?"
"Little one," I looked to aunt Laeta, "Cornelius Decimus is said to be a ruthless Dominus. One who will torture a man for simply placing a dish in the wrong place." The air in my lungs left in a rush as a reached for uncle Crixus for support.
"What of another man? More beautiful than the sun. Raven colored haired, skin as snow, and emeralds as eyes." Aunt Naevia said to the woman.
The woman looked to her. "You speak of the vessel." We all nodded then. "The vessel was not with Spartacus. Nor was he with Marcus Crassus or Julius Caesar." I looked to the others who looked lost and worried.
"We must find a way to get to Decimus' Villar." Hermione said.
"How? Do we even know where they are?" Draco asked.
"Decimus lives in Ostia which lays between Rome and Capua." Uncle Crixus said.
"And just where are we?" Ron asked.
"Three days outside of Ostia. Four more days from Rome (btw the city and where it's located is real. I just guessed on the time length it would've been to get from Capua to Ostia back then. I'm guessing that between Ostia and Rome it'd take about a couple days to a week to get from one city to the other and a little longer to get from Rome to Capua)." Uncle Agron answered.
"And seconds if you apparate." Draco said stepping forward.
I smiled at him and nodded. "We need to hurry then. Maybe saving father will help us save mother. Maybe he knows where they took him." I said and the others nodded as we all formed a circle after aunt Laeta sent the woman on her way.
"Wait!" we all looked to Hermione as we were about to apparate. "Shouldn't we have a plan for when we get there? I mean, we can't just apparate right into Decimus' Villar and expect it to be easy."
"How about we trust the people that're from this time and take us where they say and go from there?" Draco asked causing uncle Gannicus to smile at him. Draco smiled back making him miss Hermione's glare.
"Now then," we all looked to Albus as he spoke, "where are we apparating to?"
Everyone was silent for a moment before uncle Nasir spoke. "Take us just outside the city." With a nodded from Albus I felt the familiar pull on my naval and suddenly we were just outside Ostia.
Probably the closest I have ever been to Rome.
"Now what?" the twins asked.
"Now two of us shall entire the city to gain more news on Spartacus and his condition. The rest shall make camp for the night." Uncle Crixus said as he turned to uncles Agron and Nasir. "You two shall be the ones to entire the city. Stay only long enough to gain what it is we seek." They both nodded and headed for the city once they were handed robes to help hide their faces.
"You and I should aid in setting up our camp by providing the meal." Uncle Gannicus said to Draco.
Draco nodded. That's a good idea. It looks like it's getting dark and the faster we get food and water the faster none of us will be alone in the dark.
Uncle Gannicus laughed as he wrapped an arm around Draco's shoulder. "If it is darkness you fear then do not. I shall be at your side!" Draco just smirked at uncle before moving away from his arm and looking to us.
"We'll be back." With that they were gone.
"Let's prepare the camp so that it's ready for when everyone returns." Albus said and they began to turn rocks and sticks into tents.
Once that was done aunt Naevia returned with fire would and I looked to the wood setting it on fire.
"Gratitude dear nephew." I smiled at her and turned to see those of the future looking at me. "What?"
"It's just-."
"Weird to see an eight year old-."
"Be as powerful-"
"As you." The twins finished together.
I just shrugged at them and turned to uncle Crixus as he spoke.
"We must plan strategy for when we go into the city to rescue our brother." The others nodded at that.
"What did you have in mind?" Snape asked.
"That one of takes part of Dominus while the rest take part of slaves and gladiators. Decimus will be most generous to a new Dominus, for it will boost his name higher for aiding in young blood joining rank of Lanista rise in the Games, and invite us into his Villar."
"And what do propose we do once we're in the Villar?" Snape asked again.
"Those of us who are gladiators will be offered to join in days practice so that our Dominus can better know what is needed to aid a gladiator's victory upon the sands." Uncle Crixus answered him.
"And none of this will be considered weird to Decimus?" Ron asked.
"Most with his rank are so in love with themselves they hardly ever see a true threat until it is already upon them." Aunt Laeta said.
"But wouldn't those playing gladiator be in danger? More so than those playing Dominus and the other slaves?"
"Those playing gladiator will be those who once called themselves so." Was all uncle Crixus said to Hermione's question which she glared at.
"Are we all in agreement?" aunt Naevia asked and those of the future hesitated before they all slowly nodded.
"Excellent." Uncle said.
"What of Adam?" Albus asked.
"What of him?" uncle asked as confused as I was.
"He's only eight, shouldn't we find a place for him to hide until his father is saved?" Snape answered for Albus.
"Adam's parents are in the hands of men who will see to their ends if they are not freed soon. The boy is more powerful than you in magic and is not afraid of swords as you people are. While I will not allow him to fight with a sword the boy has learned some spells from his mother that will aid in his protection. Naevia will never leave his side. It is not uncommon for mothers and their children to be slaves together for one Dominus. She will place as his mother for now." Uncle said obviously not happy with the people in front of him.
Not that I wasn't angry, but uncle will kill them in a heartbeat if they say the wrong thing to him.
"I agree. If the boy wishes to fight then let him." Remus said and I smiled at him.
"I haven't seen him in action yet, but if he truly takes after his mother then he'll be able to hold his own even at his age." I turned my smile to Sirius who smiled right back.
"You would send a child into something so dangerous?!" Hermione yelled.
"They would if it's my choice! And even still this is my father. Age will not stop me from helping free him." I growled at her.
"And age will not little one." Aunt Naevia said wrapping an arm around me. I smiled at her and glared at the others in front of me.
"Why does my brother look ready to kill?" we all turned and saw uncle Gannicus and Draco pulling a buck behind them.
"Nothing that is worth mentioning again brother." Uncle Crixus said glaring once more at those in front of us then went to aid in pulling the buck to the fire and began to cut into it.
Camp was once more silent as my uncle cut into the buck while the rest of us sat around lost in our thoughts.
Mine took me to my parents. Were they alright? Where was mother? What if father was killed in the arena and we're planning all of this for not?
I was pulled from thoughts when uncles Agron and Nasir appeared.
"Any news?" aunt Laeta asked.
Uncle Agron looked to her before sighing. "Cornelius has taken all of his gladiators and a small group of slaves to Rome for Games. There is to be a celebration that Crassus is hosting."
"A celebration for what?" Neville asked.
"The celebration of Rome winning against father and rebels." I said not looking to any of them.
"Is Spartacus among that group?" Albus asked and uncle Nasir nodded.
"They must be planning on Spartacus not walking off the sands that day." Draco said softly.
"We must hurry then. I will not lose my father for the entertainment of evil men and women." I growled and they all nodded.
"How long ago did they leave?" Draco asked.
"Five days ago. They are two days from Rome." Uncle Agron said.
"Then should we cut them off before they even make it there?" Sirius asked.
"No. We let them get to Rome." Uncle Crixus said.
"But why? It'd be safer and smarter to save Spartacus while he's not surrounded by a lot of people." Hermione said.
"Because Crassus and Caesar are the only ones who know of Harry's location. If we let them get to Rome then we can force them to release his location before sending them to the afterlife." Aunt Naevia said then looked to me. "You still feel both of them?" I nodded and held the locket tightly in my grasp.
"Then we had better hurry. Let us apparate to Rome, get ahead of Decimus and prepare strategy." Uncle Agron said.
"But shouldn't we disguise ourselves? You rebels especially will be easily spotted once in Rome." Remus said.
"We should stick with the original plan of Dominus and slaves. It'd make it easier to get around the city."
"Agreed." Uncle Crixus said to Albus.
"Then let us turn towards Rome and see father and son reunited." I smiled brightly at uncle Agron's words and rushed around helping take down camp then joined the circle and felt the familiar pull at my naval.
I turned and found myself just outside the city. "Can you turn our clothes to fit appearance?" aunt Laeta asked the wizards.
They nodded and Remus stepped forward. "Who will play the Dominus?"
"Snape." I instantly said shocking everyone.
"Why?" Snape asked sneering.
I smirked at him. "Because you walk around with the same attitude and air that Romans do. All full of yourself and superior to all." Everyone laughed then and Snape just glared.
"Why you insolent little-."
"Severus." Albus said stopping the man.
Snape sighed before straightening and nodded. "Very well. If it's decided that I play the part then I will." I smirked and watched as Snape went from wearing black robes and greasy hair to purple, expensive looking robes and straight, healthy looking hair.
It was kinda scary how much of a Roman he really looked.
"Now that we have a Dominus who'll play the slaves?" Sirius asked.
"Hermione, Ron, Laeta, Naevia, and Adam are to play slaves." Uncle Crixus said.
"What about the others?" Hermione asked as those who were called had their clothing turned into common slave clothing.
"Remus shall hold the part of Doctore." Remus looked shocked as did the others.
I just smiled at him and at uncle Crixus' meaning.
"Why me?" uncle smiled.
"Do you not recall what I said a Doctore stood for?" Remus nodded as understanding entered his eyes along with gratitude.
"Thank you." He said and uncle nodded as Remus' clothes turned into something similar to what Oenomaus wore.
"Albus you are to play the part of Snape's grandfather. Wanting nothing more than for his dear grandson to take over his Villar when he crosses over to the afterlife." Albus nodded and nothing of his clothing changed.
The man was already wearing robes that looked like a Roman of his standing would wear.
"The rest of you shall be gladiators and stand alongside my brothers and myself."
"And why are some of us gladiators and others aren't?" Hermione asked.
"Because they have proven themselves here for Adam and his parents and not for themselves."
"We are here for them. We wouldn't be here if we weren't" she argued.
"You're too scared to pick up a sword and are only wanting to rely on your magic. Even if you were here for my parents you'd be a burden in the plan as anything other than a slave because of this." I said and pointed to the others. "They seem more willing to do what is needed to save my parents. And besides, you are a woman. And a woman would never be caught fighting as a gladiator." She glared at me but shut up.
"What about Remus? He's not a gladiator?" Ron asked.
"Remus has the part of Doctore because he and his mate gained our trust just as those who are gladiators have." Uncle Agron said.
"The twins gained your trust?" Ron asked shocked.
"The twins are most entertaining. They have told me of many items of which I am eager to test." Uncle Gannicus said and I suddenly became a little worried about those three together.
"Let us cease this petty arguing if we are to rescue Spartacus then rescue Harry." Aunt Laeta said as the remaining people had their clothing transformed in subligarias and those of us from this time were placed understand an illusion spell so that no one except the group and father will be able to recognize them until it is taken off. "Armor will be given morning of the Games." Aunt Laeta answered the unspoken question.
Everyone nodded and took their places behind Snape and Albus as we entered the city.
'Mother and father will not be pleased I have entered this city.' I couldn't help but think as I looked around.
"So where are we going to stay while we're waiting?" Remus asked quietly.
No one answered for a moment. "Crassus has a small Villar for those who travel far for Games. While I do not like being so close to the man, it is our only option. Cornelius shall be there as well." Uncle Crixus said. (I made this up so it could help with my story. I don't actually know if he actually had this or not but let's all pretend he did for the story.)
We all nodded and uncle Crixus quietly told Snape he believed the area the Villar would be before going silent once more.
We walked for another five minutes through the crowd when I suddenly stopped.
"Adam?" Aunt Laeta asked when she nearly ran into me.
The others stopped as well when they heard aunt Laeta say my name.
I think Snape got into character to try and get us to move while the others tried to get me to look at them.
I barely noticed any of it though. I was more focused on something else.
'No, no that's not possible!' I thought as I lifted my locket and stared at it in shock.
"Adam!" I jumped at my name being yelled and looked up into the face of a worried uncle Gannicus.
"Young one whatever is the matter?!" he asked when he noticed I was looking at him.
I looked to him then to the others and noticed they'd moved us to an abandoned street at some point.
"Adam?" I looked back to uncle Gannicus and felt my eyes beginning to water. "Young one I must know what is wrong." Uncle said urgently.
"M-mother…." I said and everyone tensed.
"What about him?" uncle asked and I looked to my locket.
"I-I can't feel his tracker anymore."
PLEASE READ: And there's the third chapter! Thank you guys again for being patience and understanding. Life gets in the way sometimes:( Now, the spell Disputationi really does mean Timeless. It's Latin, because you have to stick to Harry Potter ways when making new spells of course, and it took a while for me to decide if I wanted the spell to be the 'Time' spell or the 'Timeless' spell. Obviously I went with timeless lol:p Now, the next two chapters are going to be a little weird as they're going back in time. The next chapter will be about Spartacus and it'll begin when the Romans attack their house. Thought I'd go ahead and give a heads up so no one is too confused at the beginning of the next chapter. The next two will be very long as it'll show just what happened to Spartacus and Harry in the months Adam and the others have been gone. Anyways, hope you liked this chapter, it was giving me a hard time and I'm not sure about the end result just yet, and I hope all of you are still here! Thanks again for the support and understanding!
