Chapter 13: Time and Time Again
It was a bright, sunny day at Hogwarts with an air of anticipation. Everybody knew there will be someone arriving from the past. Exams were over. There was supposed to be a Quidditch match today, but it was delayed until after lunch. The entire school was gathered in the Entrance Hall. A bolt of light flashed about five feet above the floor in the middle of the Entrance Hall; another, flashed. It was like a short piece of lightning, everyone knew what this was. It was written in legend. Then more came. A ball of many circular lightning bolts formed. A fairly young boy with black, shoulder length hair and wearing a black robe with the Hogwarts' crest fell from the ball of lightning. He landed face down with a sickening thud. Landyr Dral has arrived at Hogwarts at the same time he originally left the year 2998.
A gentleman with a dark complexion walked up to Landyr, "Welcome back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Landyr Dral." Landyr picked himself up and faced him. "My name is Headmaster Cristobol Adrowyn."
Landyr looked at all the eyes that were staring back at him, "How did you know that I would be here?"
"Albus Dumbledore left a note for me. Well, not for me, but to whoever would be Headmaster or Headmistress in this year. He also mentioned that we should accept your enrollment next year."
"That's good. So, I will be starting my seventh year?"
"Not exactly. There is a lot more to magic than just flinging a wand around, so you will be starting as a first year."
The smile faded from Landyr's face, "You have got to be kidding me. I don't look like a first year."
"We have that covered. Professor Dewei, the transfiguration teacher, will reverse your age in appearance."
A tall, blonde witch came up to Landyr with a big smile on her face. She looked to be in her twenties. She pointed her wand at Landyr. He felt something happening. In an instant, he looked like an eleven year old.
"Your body will age naturally, and when you graduate, I can make you look the proper age again. Consider that a graduation gift," Dewei said with flare.
Adrowyn spoke again, "You have a room prepared at the Leaky Cauldron; the Harry Potter suite. It's the same room that he stayed in when he was in his third year at Hogwarts. You will receive a letter by owl explaining everything that you need."
"Thanks." Landyr said as he took out his wand. He drew a line in the air while saying "Calamitous adieu". A gateway opened to the Leaky Cauldron. Everyone looked impressed at this. Landyr stepped through the gateway. The slit slowly closed leaving behind a school where he will learn one day that history remembered him as the boy who saved magic.
Appendix A: Notes
I decided to include a few notes about the story. There might be some confusing elements.
Environmental Memory is the latest theory about what ghosts really are. It is said that a person that dwells in a place for a very long time will leave behind an essence of what he or she is like. Certain people are sensitive to these memories, namely psychics. I played around with the fact that a magical person would leave behind a memory that could take form for a while and someone that is magical can make the memory whole again. These are not the same as the ghosts that JK Rowling created in her stories. The Environmental Memory is a completely different entity that will fade away after a time, whereas the ghosts do not. Notice that in the story that Dumbledore's memory is only around when Landyr is present.
Calamitous adieu translates to "disastrous farewell". Why would cutting a hole in the entire delicate fabric of space-time be called "disastrous farewell".
Landyr's ancestor's are somewhere in the first five Harry Potter books created by JK Rowling. I have given loads of clues as to who they are. You should be able to figure it out. If you get confused as to why I put something is the story at that place, chances are that it is a clue. I will not come right out and tell you who they are because I think it is more fun for you to guess. Anybody can be his ancestors as explained below.
Buttergomon means time-manipulating butterfly. I will let you guess why I went with butterfly instead of a more "manly" name for the keeper. The time-manipulating part is very important.
Dragogurath means non-Euclidean Dragon. Euclidean is the person that gave us geometry such as that the sum of all angles on a triangle adds up to 180 degrees. Non-Euclidean geometry gets a little fun, because if you take that same triangle and place it on the surface of a sphere, the angles will add up to greater than 180 degrees while the sides remain straight.
Buttergomon is the keeper of Dragogurath, so if you take the above definitions and combine them, you get some really fun, strange, time-manipulating madness. Anything is possible now.
I hope you enjoyed this story. It is very complex, so you will need to think about it. I have a lot of hidden stuff in their. I even have JKish clues that STS people can claim support their idea that Harry and Hermione are brother and sister. There are fun things that I have in there, so read with care. I put a lot of thought into hiding facts. Thank you!
