Ch. 7 Learning about the Past
(Talphine Island, October 22.)
"When is he supposed to show up?" Jade asked. All the Tomorrow People were on the beach nervously awaiting the arrival of Professor Dumbledore. "The letter said he would be her at one." Kat told her. "How's he getting here? A broomstick" Megabyte said laughing. "Actually no. I find apparation a much faster means of transportation." Professor Dumbledore said appearing behind Megabyte.
Every one jumped as an elderly looking man wearing blue robes with a long silver beard and hair appeared on the beach. Damn now we know how your dad must feel every time we do that to him, Megabyte Kevin commented. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Albus Dumbledore Headmaster of Hogwarts. You must be Katlyn and Adam. It's a pleasure to meet you." "Same here, everyone just calls me Kat. These are our friends Ami Jackson, Megabyte Damon, Kevin Wilson and Jade Weston." Everyone mumbled greetings. "You said in the letter you would explain everything to us about our parents being wizards." Adam said. "Yes, it's a long story, I ask that you don't interrupted me." They all nodded. " I said in the letter I was headmaster at Hogwarts while both of your parents were there. Your two fathers and your mother Adam were part of a close group of friends. All three were friends with James Potter, Lily Evans, Peter Pettigrew and each other. At the time there was a Dark Wizard, Lord Voldmorte, who was steadily gaining power and followers. After graduation your parents got married and so did James and Lily. A year after you were born James and Lily had a son Harry. A spy in Voldmorte's followers found out Voldmorte was after the Potters so they went into hiding using the Fidelius Charm." Everyone looked confused at this. "It's a spell that hides the location of the users in one person, the secret keeper. James and Lily decided to use his best friend, your father Adam, as their secret keeper but at the last moment they and Sirius switched to Pettigrew without telling anyone. It turned out Peter was a spy for Voldmorte and he told him were to find the Potters. Voldmorte went to their house and killed James and Lily but when he tried to kill Harry the curse was reflected onto him and he became mist and vapor. When Sirius realized what happened he went after Pettigrew but Pettigrew yelled out that Sirius killed the Potters and then blew up the street killing twelve muggles, non-magic people." He explained seeing everyone's blank looks. "What happened after that?" Adam asked. "Pettigrew who is an animagi, he can turn into an animal, cut off his finger to fake his being blown up and transformed into a rat, then went into hiding. No one knew that the Potters had switched secret keepers or that Peter was an animagi so we all though Sirius was guilty of all of it and he was sent to the wizard jail Azkaban. You mother tried to prove Sirius was innocent but no one believed her. The ministry took you away because of her connection to Sirius and she went back to Avalon for a while." " Avalon?" Everyone asked amazed. "Yes like your mother, Adam you are a direct descendant of Morgaine le Fey. Sirius broke out three years ago when by a picture in a newspaper he found out Peter in his rat from was the pet of a boy attending Hogwarts, where Harry goes to school. Harry, his friends, you father Katlyn; Remus, and Sirius caught Peter but he escaped again before they could prove Sirius's innocence so he is still hiding from the Ministry of Magic. You're mother came back last year to help us find Peter." Adam was shocked to learn that his father was a convicted, and escaped criminal who was wrongfully accused and his mom a Priestess of Avalon.
" After the death of three of his closest friends and the arrested of another friend for their murders your dad became a little depressed. Shortly after that was when your mother left him Kat. Also I need to ask you do you get sick or start to feel weird around the full moon?" "Ya I always feel a little sick and really irritable around that time for some reason. Do you know why?" Kat nervously replied. " All girls go through that, I thought it was just .OW!" Megabyte sarcastically starts to reply but was interrupted by all three girls promptly elbowing him in the stomach, stomping on his foot, or slapping him on the back of his head, while the other boys roll their eyes. Dumbledore chuckled at the antics of the teenagers in front of him, [They'll get along nicely with Harry and his friends at Hogwarts]. "Yes, you see when your dad was little he was bitten by a ware-wolf and the condition is somewhat hereditary. Luckily in your case you didn't inherit all of the conditions due to the fact your mother was a normal witch. You don't need to worry about your dad, he's able to take a potion during the full moon that makes him safe," he added seeing Kat's scared look. "So you're saying I'm part ware-wolf!" she asked incredulously. "Yes"
"Another thing that is important for you to know is that two years ago Voldmorte using dark magic was able to get his former body back and is once again trying to take over the world. Which is one of the reasons you need to learn how to use your magic so you can defend yourselves. Everyone magic or no magic is in danger from him. Plus if he finds out about your unique abilities he may try to come after you." "How did you know Adam and Kat were Tomorrow People?" Ami asked. "Do you mean mind speakers?" Dumbledore asked him. "Ya, I guess we just call ourselves Tomorrow People." Kat told him. "My phoenix Fawks was the one who found you. He saw you two talking on the beach and then saw Mr. Damon here apparate, or teleport as I believe you call it, in. There's a prophecy about a group of people who would have the ability to talk to each other in their minds, telekinesis, apparate naturally and that each would have their own different power. I was able to figure out you were mind speakers from what Fawks told me when he got back to Hogwarts" "Your bird can talk to you?" Kevin and Jade exclaimed. "Yes he complains about things to me quite frequently." Dumbledore replied chuckling. "So how are we going to set up this tutoring? Adam asked. "We've got a place set up near Kat's foster home, an old boys and girls club. Each weekday from 3-7 a different teacher will come in and teach you your regular lessons. Then on Saturday you will each do your elective courses and on Sun your regular class that you didn't have during the week and another regular class that will rotate each week. I know this is a lot but as it is you will have to do a lot of studying on your own to catch up with the sixth years, we're also allowing you to use a quick learn spell to help you. Your friends may sit in on your lessons also if they want to, it would be good for of you to know some magic in case Voldmorte comes after you. When you start at Hogwarts you will be assign tutors, which leads me to another point I'll need to sort you into a house now so I can find people in your own house to tutor you." "Um how do we get sorted?" Kat asked. "You just put on this hat," he said pulling out an old frayed pointed hat, "and it will tell us which house you belong in. There's Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherine." Adam tried on the hat first.
"Ah, a natural born leader. Good heart, I see you have feelings for your young female friend here but are afraid to tell her, other then that you're very brave," the hat whispered in Adams head causing him to blush. "I know where to put you." "GRYFFINDOR!" the sorting hat shouted out.
Next Kat nervously tried on the hat. [Please be Gryffindor, please be Gryffindor] "So you want to be in Gryffindor. Ah, I see why, it has to do has to do with a certain dark haired fellow over there." Kat started to blush furiously. "You do have all the qualification so you'll get your wish." "GRYFFINDOR!" it shouted out again.
"Both of you fathers will be very proud. They were both in Gryffindor during their days at Hogwarts. I have taken the liberty of getting your supplies and books for all of your classes(they had written back what extra classes they were taking. Kat: Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. Adam: Care of Magical Creatures and Arithmancy) If you don't have any more question I'll be going. If you need anything please do not hesitate to write me or ask one of your professors. We will start the tutoring sessions this Monday." Everyone exchanged goodbyes and Dumbledore apparated away.
So are we going to sit in on Kat's and Adam's classes Ami asked. Ya, it might be funDid I just hear Megabyte says sitting in on a class might be fun? Jade asked Well hell just froze over. Kevin commented and everyone laughed. Is that ok with you guys Ami asked. Ya, no problem they replied.
