Chapter Five of The Age of Wisdom by Hilel.

"My favorite name...I guess that would be 'Albus'. I've always wanted to be called that...my real name? Full, shortened or normal? You wouldn't understand...thats not what makes history, not the name, not the person...it's the deeds that count. I was once known as the most powerful Wizard alive - at the mere age of fifteen! Shocking! But that all passed, all those years ago." James Harry Potter was sitting in his chair at the front of his classroom, teaching a bunch of 9th years about himself - not that he had wanted to, but the History of Magic teacher had insisted.

It's been Fifty long, hard years since that day... James thought miserably. Ever since the day that the Institute of Magical Learning and Advancement had been sieged by that Foxfire, James had retained a vicious scar on his back, along with several others - including one on his left knee. The two young boys - a severe magical disturbance had revealed a time-diminishing charm had been irreversably placed upon the two - had lay unconsious in the hospital wing for weeks, to the great dismay of all the students.

After the spectacular scene in the Great Hall, the two Foxfires had disappeared, never to be seen again. Fifty years ago, was the first and last time he had seen a Foxfire.

The two boys woke up after a six-week coma, both waking up at exactly the same time. James had visited them many times, trying to figure out who they were - but to no avail. But the moment James saw those green eyes, that reminded him so much of his mother, he knew who that boy was. He was the boy from his dreams - his prophecies. The one and the same. He had sat there - along with the other heads of the houses, and interrogated the two.

He had learned that the boy was indeed a Potter - which was all he said, claiming that he had no memory of what had happened. The second, the pale-skinned one had been glaring daggers at Harry. They seemed to be enemies, but how they ended up in this predicament, no-one would know.

The pale-skinned one - who called himself Draco - in you could believe it! - acted the same way as a Snape - other than Ignushus, of course - would act, all superior. They both had no idea where they were, or what language they were interrogated in - imagine that.

The years after that had been slightly fun - if you can believe that total havoc, destruction and not to mention, NEAR EXPELLATION would be fun. That Harry, trouble followed him like a dog on a leash! James never could understand how it happened. So, the years progressed, with at least one near-death experience a year - sometimes even more.

Which brings us back to James teaching about himself and Harry - the most powerful Wizards alive. Or so they thought. Shaking his head, James continued along his previous thought.

"Another wizard had appeared." James said, trying to sound scary to all the 9th years (most of them were near 8 years old). "Another Wizard of great power! One who is like Furvan Gliel, who was to be bonded with a Foxfire by the name of Gilli-es!" James tried to make his story sound interesting by placing emphasis on all the important words, and making the plot seem a little childish.

"But it was not meant to be. Furvan-" James waved his hands around dramatically, "Did not bond with Gilli-es..." there was a collective 'aww' from the children, "and he died by the hand of Gilli-es' father, Juki-Sa." James looked around at the children. "But - dear me! I've gone off on a tangent. The new wizard was like the great Furvan Gliel, because he was approached by a Foxfire as well...although we do not know the name of this one. I believe that all of you know who this wizard is?"

After a few seconds, one 9th year raised his hand and said, "Harry Potter, sir." James smiled and nodded at him, and waved his hand toward the doorway. Immediately, a symbol appeared in the air in front of him, and the door opened.

James had been planning to introduce the children to Harry, but the person who stood in the doorway now, was not the person he expected it to be...

A/N: If you're wondering what this 'time-diminishing' charm is, it's a side-effect of the temporal rift, through which Harry and Draco traveled through. Harry WOULD have been close to 35 or 36 years old, but because of the time-diminishing charm, he only looks 15.
