Part 4: The Beginning
The fateful day came for the Fifth years and their new instruction. Amazed, they marched outside there a note on the classroom door was. It read: 'The Alternative Magic class will meet outside in front of the lake. All of the houses were to meet at the same time. They all happened to meet at the main doors to the castle. As the class walked out they could see many desks on the lawn. With nothing else to do the students sat in the desks, each few rows a different color of desks were in place to represent where each house was to sit. They all hadn't seen the teacher yet, which meant he was not showing or ill. One by one they saw a man on the opposite side of the lake.
"Hey do you think that's him? What's he going to do, walk all the way over here?" asked a few people.
All the students could do was watch as their mysterious teacher started to walk towards them. Walking towards them over the deep lake. As he walked there was a slight rippling under where he walked, which seemed like six inches above the lake. All of the students had learned that it was not possible to fly or float above any surface without a broom. They all just stared at the teacher who was just arriving in front of the class.
"Good morning class. Today is the first day of your training. The first day of the rest of your lives. I shall teach you young ones the true meaning of magical power. I cannot read minds here but I can tell you are a little shocked at what took place jus a few minutes ago. That is one of the many techniques you will learn. Some say that the Biblical figure Jesus used that technique, but it was different. Any questions so far?" he kindly asked.
"Are you saying that we'll be able to do things that Jesus Christ did? Like walk on water? I mean that was almost 2000 years ago!" Dean asked.
"Well, not the exact same, he was able to walk on the water. Here you will be able to fly, like a Quidittich player without a broom. I will allow you to ask me any number of questions each day you have class, since this is your only class on this day. Any more?"
It was at that moment where Professor McGongall stepped out out the castle. None of the students could tell that she was there. The students talked in quiet while the professor waited for a new question. Only he saw McGongall.
He then spoke: "That will be all for right now, you shall return here at 3 PM. No one shall be late!"
As the students left they noticed professor McGongall and said hello to her quietly. Harry, Hermoine, and Ron stopped to say something, but never got the chance.
"Go to the common room, tell the others that ill be there in a few minutes." McGongall spoke in a monotonous voice while just staring at Gryffin. Each left not questioning her, they could only listen on as they two teachers talked. They could almost hear the whole conversation. They took one last glance at the two, seeing the new professor unveiling his face.
McGongall slapped him when he lowered his hands. SMACK! "I can't believe you Gryffin! How come you never contacted me! I would have expected this from the others, but they could do REAL magic. I heard you asked about me, but never PERSONALLY contacted me. All those strange owls, they had to be yours, none were remotely common in Europe."
"Now I couldn't, Albus told me not to contact you yet. That is why I did not reveal myself at all meals and social interactions. I knew you would do this." He responded.
"What way!? You knew I loved you! Do you know what you have put me through! And those letters, I couldn't read them, so Albus read them, but I never found out who they were from or what they said. He just smiled and said thank you for delivering them to him! I-"She was cut short.
"I can explain. Voldemort is after me as well as many others, and he'll be after the school as well, that's why I have come to teach this. He has studied and is working on this as well. You know my power and he wants me dead. Should we survive, then......."
"Then what?" at this point tears were forming in her eyes.
"Then, I don't know. We shall be free from his evil reign. I fought with some Death Eaters on my way here, luckily it was the dark mark of themselves that triggered the end for them. This was in India. Enough of this, lets go inside and talk this over more, and lets hope your students don't find this evil power."
"Yes, lets not." She concluded. It was all she could say through her tears. She collapsed in his arms, crying.
"A lots changed," he held her out so he could see her face, "but we both know that this must end. We will survive this!" he hugged her tight as Harry, Hermoine, and Ron finally entered the castle and headed towards their house common room.

"We will participate in a great war my friend. One that shall not be forgotten for many years to come." Dumbledore said quietly to himself.
::By the lake::
"A lot has changed my love. Too much has changed." He whispered into her head as he held her tight.
