"Yes, Grandfather. I understand. How
do you plan to break it gently to the students in the wee hours of morning
and recover?" A young woman clad in silver night robes and baby blue
pajamas with white and red roses cascading her long and wavy-straight,
shiny, rather glowing, onyx hair regarded Albus Dumbledore.
"I don't plan to tell them of the future."
He calmly answered her daughter. "Mr. Fred, George, Ronald, and Ms.
Ginny Weasleys may not know of the perils that Voldemort will bestow upon
them by the end of this year. As well as Mr. Lee Jordan. Knowing
you, Princess, you'll do something about it, correct?"
"Yes, Professor. If you may, Grandfather,
let me enter the school and train me as one of them. Please.
And please call me Leia or Joycie in the future." Princess Joycie
Leia Lionheart said to her grandparent as she curtsied lowly.
"Oh, alright."
"ALLLLRIGGGHHTTYYYY THHHHENNNN!" She said
loudly yet as softly for only the office to hear, dancing a jig... then
she did a 360-degree turn and said "SMOKING!"
"Huh?"
"Oh... it's from the movie, "The Mask" Professor!'
"Oh, alright. Carry on. And we'll
be up tomorrow morning and introduce you." He said chuckling. "You
seem to be enthusiastic in starting a bit late this year."
"Oh, just a thought about Prof McGonagall and
Prof Snape..." She said, winking.
"Oh, yeah... Minerva and Severus, eh?"
"What name shall I use, Grandfather?"
"Your choice, luv."
"Princess Leia McGonagall-Snape. That ought
to cause a stir, don't you think? And, I would like to have both
Professors, Heads of the Houses and Masters' permission even though I would
still use them no matter what."
"I must say, you're a..."
"Little daredevil, Professor."
"No. More like a clever and amusing witch."
"How about my wand Professor?"
Then there was a knock on the door. Then,
Mr. Ollivander came in with quite a few numbers of boxes with him.
"Greetings, sir... young lady."
"Good evening, Mr. Ollivander. How nice
to see you again." Both of them answered as Fawkes, Dumbledore's
phoenix flew to him and let him pet her.
"Leia, would you try on the wands?" Dumbledore
asked her while a measuring tape measured both her right and her left arms.
"Yes, Professor. Do carry on, Mr. Ollivander."
She answered gleefully and excitedly.
"Alright. Even though I fear and feel that
there's nothing here to suit you, miss... Let's see, here's a 10-inches,
Oak, Dragon's heart, 1 jasmine, 1 lily and Veela hair wand. Perfect
for all Transfiguration, Charms and other spells. Especially Animagi."
She took the wand and it glowed ever so slightly.
Then, a portal zoomed out of nowhere and captured
all four. They were transported on the outskirts of the forbidden
forest... on the other end just above a mountain showing a VERY far away
Hogwarts and the vast sea of trees.
A Hungarian Horntail, a Chinese Fireball, a veela,
a manticore, a, caged in an baby blue and silver crystal adamantine case,
basilisk (so the petrifying glares and fatal/venomous breath won't work),
a black and a white phoenixes, a forbidden forest tree, a sphinx, a unicorn,
an acromantula, a chimera, a lion and a Griffin all showed as well as Firenze,
the centaur and a mermaid with a merman were all lined up beside the four.
Each of them, one by one were all joining to be one, except Firenze who
took a hair from his tail and went beside AND the 2 lake creatures who
sang under and floating in water.
The wand was almost finished and complete.
Just a tiny spot left. The oak wand that Joycie was holding flew
from her hand to take part of the new 'silvery-crystal-baby-blue-adamantine
like wand'... giving it a combination of wood and the other piece of material...
and looks like one more thing's needed before it, the wand, is completed.
It called out, and Joycie's hand went to her head, pulled a white petal
out of the rose and after she finished, Fawkes flew over to the wand with
the white petal, closed his eyes gave two drops, from each eye, of his
phoenix tears and two bright, red colored tail feathers voluntarily (one
of the tail feathers went to the silvery crystal part and one went to the
wood) along with the petal, as it broke into four pieces, to the wand and
after it was completed, it flew over to Joycie.
She felt a warm tingly feeling in her right hand
as she caught the fantastic 12 and half inches, piece of half adamantine
and half wood made wand. She waved it over her head and shot up a
little, colorful bright rainbow over the dark forbidden forest and the
wand was radiating a powerful aura around her and the mountains...
like a call. All of a sudden, herds of dragons of all kinds, unicorns,
centaurs, satyrs, griffins, merpeople in bubbles and water, chimera and
other creatures like lions, tigers, fairies, nifflers, trolls, yeti/s,
and other magical and muggle creatures flew/crawled/ran about until each
of them had bowed to her. In the dragons' cases, they breathed fire...
as if they honor the young lady. For the Sphinx/es, they each asked
her the same riddle all at once. About a creature who had 4 feet
at one stage, and first, in its life, 2 feet in the next stage and 3 in
its last.
She answered "Man. 4, when a baby or infant...
he or she crawls with his hands and legs. 2, when the infant grew
big enough to walk and three when the person is old and is in need of a
stick or cane to walk with... Dear Sphinx/es, I ask of you not to commit
suicide... I simply answered your question; please don't be dismayed about
it. After all, you have jobs to fulfill... Guardians." And
the Sphinx/es obeyed. Then... the animals and creatures
left... disappeared, for the others like ghosts and poltergeists.
Two of the ghosts, came back and asked, "could you please give a message
to the Bloody Baron and Peeves the Poltergeist in Hogwarts, Princess?"
"Yes," she answered congenially as if to encourage
the teenage girl and the young woman.
"Please tell my father to take care of himself...
and even though I was a mudblood and he just had to fight with stupid Voldemort...
Tell him that I don't know why he had to work with a butt-ugly person...
even though he was a hot shot when he was a boy." The teenaged one said.
"Heheheh.... Same with me, kiddo." Joycie
said, keeping a light air. "And why don't you come with me?
It would please all of us.... you, your father and myself."
"Okay..."
"I'll keep you beside me until you're ready to
face your father."
"That would be fine." She said, smiling.
"Okay, what message would you like to bring Old
Peevsie?" Joycie said turning to the young woman, about the age of
24.
'I would like to be with him.' She thought and
before she got to say anything aloud...
Joycie said: "Come with me too. Do you happen
to be a Poltergeist?"
"Yes, I am."
"And your names, please..."
"Miriam Hufflepuff" said the 16-year-old one.
"Alexia Easton." The older one answered.
"Okay, call me Joycie and never address me as
Princess when talking. Now, let's go to Hogwarts, girls!" Joycie
said, treating them as if they were alive. "Don't worry. I'm
sure the both of these... uhm... celestial beings as I call them- and Peevsie
is a bit annoyed with that name...- will be welcoming you. After
all, I don't think anything is worth fighting for now. As Light and
Dark... Well, until Voldemort decides to wage a war... but that's
not gonna happen soon... not if I can help it!"
They all walked back to Fawkes, Mr. Ollivander
and Professor Dumbledore.
"Show us your wand, Joycie." Professor Dumbledore
told her.
"Sure thing, Grandpa... or Professor." Then
she held the glowing wand... it's so exquisite and rare... also just made.
"I guess the animals made it for you, Ms. Lionheart,
rather, Ms. McGonagall-Snape." Mr. Ollivander said as he bowed.
"Here's a payment for the Oak wood, 10 Inches....
And, as a matter of fact, please address me as either Joycie or Ms. Lionheart."
And Joycie paid him 7 galleons.
"Thank you miss." He said and bowed again.
"Ahh, here's our ride, Joycie, Mr. Ollivander."
Dumbledore informed the two as the portal opened again and sent them back
to Professor Dumbledore's office with a sleeping McGonagall on one seat
and a half asleep Snape on the other.
"I shall go, Professor. Good night.
Pleasant dreams." Mr. Ollivander said and with a final bow made his
way toward the doors with his wands. Then he went back and grabbed
Joycie's hand and kissed it. "Never in my life have I seen someone get
a Gift like this from all kinds of creatures. You have a Great Destiny
ahead of you, Joycie. Take good care. And it's curious... Fawkes
gave another pair of his tail feathers."
"And I assume that Voldemort and Harry Potter
have the other two?" Joycie asked him with an as-a-matter-of-factly tone
of voice.
"Yes, they do. And if I didn't know any
better, you will be a key to either the destruction of life or the restorer
of peace. Adieu, Mademoiselle Lionheart."
Then he left... letting that hang in the air.
"Good night, Joycie. Sleep well."
Dumbledore told her. "I'll talk to these two about your name."
"Grandfather, I would like to ask to be put into
the year in which I will be most comfortable with and would like to test
where I belong.... aside from the Sorting Hat, that is."
"I know what you mean."
"And I would also like a Telepathy Spell over
all of the teachers... so they would know whatever's on my mind while doing
so."
"Yes, yes. I was thinking of that too."
"Thank you, Professor. Good night!"
She went to him, and kissed him on the cheek while she hugged him and the
sleeping McGonagall sat up, alert about the two relatives. "I love
you, Gramps."
"I love you too, Granddaughter. And, remember,
you have to sing tomorrow at breakfast, remember?"
"Oh yeah..." Joycie groaned... but the excitement
and delight could be see in her fiery, shining, gentle, bright, loving,
emotional, knowing, and letting-on eyes. "Good evening and good night,
Professors." Joycie said as she ran toward the exit of Dumbledore's extravagantly
decorated office. "Or, should I call you, Mummy and Daddy?"
She said chuckling and ran all the way toward her secret and temporary
chambers on the third floor near the Charms' classroom WITH Miriam and
Alexia behind her.
"Sorry about not talking to you, gals."
Joycie told them as she took off her silver night robe.
"It's quite alright. I mean, it's not like
you forgot about us." Miriam told her.
"We could feel you know we're there, but too busy
to talk with us." Alexia supplied.
"Okay. That's good. It means that
I inherited my Gram's power... having a certain bond with celestial beings
and the ability to bring you back from the dead for only a couple of minutes."
"That would make you a necromancer, correct?"
"Yeah, I think. But, my great grandmother's
father was actually Hades himself... I can't imagine how I got the power,
though."
"I think you need to sleep... or else your voice'll
not be up to singing tomorrow morning! And we'll be here to wake
you up."
"Ok, thanks, guys. G'night" She flashed
them a big smile and went to her baby blue bed and slept under the baby
blue velvet blankets.

Somewhere Else
Then... the gods from above the Heavens, Mt.
Olympus, the Underworld and other creatures said as they watched the whole
conversation... "She's most powerful of the Charmed ones... the one who
will restore Balance to the Worlds."
And a pair of them... with high hats said, "Empress
and Emperor of the Wizarding World... help us guide her through right and
wrong." And the gust of wind blew over Hogwarts and it (heavily)
snowed baby blue and silver from the late night to the crack of dawn on
October 13, 2001, Friday at 6:59 AM.
************************************************************************
Hogwarts (Time = 6:59:30 ; Date = October 13,

All are asleep in the castle and the only sound
made are the breathings of sleeping beings.
