The Other Side
"LORETTE!" shouted Melikar, pacing beneath the pool, robes flapping with each angry step.
If the trembling walls hinted at thunder before, they now shook with the force of an earthquake under the wizard's wrath.
All of a sudden Remus Lupin walked in, followed shortly by Cam. Cam looked around and asked inquisitively "What happened? Where's Lorette? I checked her bed and she's not there."
Melikar looked around and investigated the room, he then interpreted what he thought most likely happened in Lorette's point of view. He explained how she had reversed his spell and shortly after had deciphered a spell that was from an ancient prophecy book, and not tested since the last century.
Cam stood on trembling legs, as he straightened his tunic, and he faced his master. He had once hoped he would go with Lorette to the wizarding earth. The truth was he fancied her, and hoped one day he and her would make a commitment and spend the rest of they're lives together.
"Can you bring her back, wherever she is?" Cam asked patiently.
"Bring her back?" Melikar continued his distraught pacing. "I can't bring her back until she chooses to return." He stopped and turned to his apprentice and Lupin. "The difficulty is, she doesn't know this."
"I don't think you two realize the real problem here", added Lupin. "She is an underage wizard who has just used one of the forbidden spells to separate her from the muggle world and wizarding world."
"I believe she has sealed the gateway to the muggle world from the wizarding world." continued Lupin.
"So you mean no one can get in or out?" asked Cam, being a little uninformed. He had only started to read up on wizarding spells.
"On the contrary, you can get in but getting out is the problem."
"No! There will be wizard officials swooping down on me", cried Melikar. "She is my responsibility, and she has illegally traveled from one world to another, what will become of me?"at that moment he Cam brought him a chair. Luckily too, at that moment he fainted. There came a knock at the door.
*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"I'll see who it is" Lupin said after a moment of silence. He walked toward the door while Cam busily took care of the old wizard that had fainted.
When Lupin opened the door, there stood three men.
One of them was young no more than 25 and had brown hair, he wore very loose clothing that made him look too small for his age. His name was Patrick Lemming, like the other two he worked for the ministry of magic in the department of Recent Developments in Wizardry.
The other of the two had black hair with grey roots, his age couldn't be any younger than 45. He wore a serious face, different from the younger man who looked nervous. He wore robes of black with a silver trim around the neck His name was Demetrius Higulswob, he worked in the department of Illegal Use of Magic.
The last man was the eldest of all both of them, he couldn't have been a day over 50. With hair of black and grey, he wore a long purple cloak over his robes which were a bland black color. His name was Cornelius Fudge and he was the Minister for Magic. A well known wizard all around the world. Also a good friend of Melikar's and Dumbledore's.
"Good evening Remus, I am surprised to see you here", said Cornelius Fudge.
"Good evening, will you come in?" asked Lupin politely.
"As a matter of fact, yes we will, we have some matters to discuss with old Melikar", answered Fudge eyeing Lupin over.
They walked in and Lupin led them into the study. By then Melikar was waking from his nasty dream only to realize it was all true. He looked at Fudge and said "I knew it!"
Fudge then immediately spoke up "knew what Melikar, I think you are being a little too enthusiastic for my liking."
"What?what?....you know what. You are here to put me away! I won't allow it, you cannot arrest me in my own house for a spell I did not cast!" he blurted out.
"Calm down my friend, that is the matter I am here to discuss, but who gave you the right idea we would put you away?" Fudge looked very confused and calm at the same time.
"I would like to speak to the witch or wizard who cast the spell though if I may add" demanded Fudge politely.
"See that's the problem, we don't know where she is" replied Lupin.
"She cast a spell on the wishing pool and sealed both worlds from each other, you can only get into the wizarding world, you can't get out" continued Lupin.
"Actually, you can but the witch or wizard must want to get out, then it is only a matter of standing near the other end of the wishing pool, wherever that is" said Cam.
"Well then let's get searching!" Fudge cried out.
"Wait, there's more", said Lupin while he read out from the book.
"More? What could be worse?" asked Fudge inquisitively.
"Unless we find her and un cast the spell she has cast upon herself the wizarding world will cease to open to the muggle world....forever" he said looking up at the wizards that were content and looking at him.
"Well, I guess we have a bigger problem than we imagined." replied Fudge looking as if he'd seen a ghost.
"Let's get searching, Lupin, Cam, Melikar, we need all the help we can get!' Fudge said aloud.
"I am staying here!"said Melikar surprising even Lupin. "Someone needs to stay behind and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Alright, if we find the girl, pardon me Lorette Nevermore, if we find her bring her back to the wishing pool." And with that he disapparated in a puff of purple smoke, shortly followed by an orange one and a yellow one. That left Cam and Lupin.
"Since Cam does not yet know how to disapparate him and I will go the same way Lorette has gone!" Lupin replied deadening the silence.
They each walked up to the wishing well and together they held hands as only Lupin had a wand. Then both of them in unison repeated the same spell.
"Anger, fear, love, drawn with a knife. Send Cam and Lupin to a wizard life!."
And with that they jumped into the well and traveled what seemed like for ages....
Soon they would land in the same grassy meadow filled with flowers and trees and a forest beyond, if they were lucky...
