"Maybe you should go down to one of the other rooms and talk, get acquainted with each other," suggested Shadow as he moved over to Rose and Harry.
"Good idea. Serenity, Jessica, Remus, Harry, come on." She said all these people then she looked at Shadow. "Where would be a good place for privacy?" she asked.
"Well there is very nice private room downstairs but I was going that way, you're welcomed to it, I'll find some place else to go," he replied.
"Well if it's really private we accept but you're coming too. If anyone needs some privacy it's you. Understood, no argument allowed."
He grinned and led the way downstairs and stopped at a picture. In the picture a man stood, a sword in hand, and beside him there was a youth with wild black hair and also a sword in his hand. He rapped thrice upon the painting and the figures stepped aside, and in a rock that had been in the background a door appeared. He reached out and opened the door then led the way through the large doorway in the picture.
The room they entered was what seemed to be a study. There were large leather chairs around a table and a few bookshelves with ancient titles on them. When they looked at one side they learned why Shadow was coming down here. There were cases of weapons and sets of armor dating back to those worn by the Romans. He walked among the weapons his hand roaming over the hilts of swords, the handles of axes, and the wooden arches of bows. Leaving him to wander, the others took seats around the table.
"Well I never imagined this would be so awkward." Rose said shyly.
Harry smiled and replied, "I know, it is awkward."
"Well how about we introduce ourselves a little more?" Remus suggested.
He was cut short as people started filling in.
"Ah, I see you're here now, if the children will clear out we can begin." Albus Dumbledore seemed somehow cheerful as he led the group of people in.
"What is the meaning of this? You're violating my private study!" barked Shadow.
"We have a meeting to attend to, Shadow, now if the children will leave we may begin," responded Albus.
"The children stay," growled Shadow, his hand stopping over one of the swords.
"Shadow, they must go, you cannot let them stay."
"No, but if I say they stay, well they stay." Rose spoke mockingly.
"Rose, you can only vouch for two of these children. The other must go."
"She stays, Albus, if any would be allowed in here, it's his daughter." Shadow was shaking and in his eyes the fire still burned.
"Fine, let them stay, I do not care." The Headmaster's words were sharp as he locked eyes with Shadow.
"Good. Now shall we begin?" Shadow asked, his eyes turning to a soothing green as he moved and took a seat by Harry.
The old man sighed as he took a seat and everyone else did the same. "Now to begin this gathering, I just wish to tell you all that in a few days a memorial service will be held, all of you and your families are welcomed along with a few others." He said this in a quiet and sad voice but one at the table barely contained a laugh. "Now that that's settled I suggest we share some memories and stories of the decease."
There was a crash and Shadow stood up and walked out. He was quickly followed by Remus, Rose, and the three young adults.
"I don't get it, why did he not want us there and yet it was little more than a vital for Sirius?" Harry asked Shadow as they walked towards the kitchen.
"He was just using that as an excuse, Harry, think about it. He didn't want you there so he decided to make it where the events were okay for you to hear. Typical of Dumbledore." Shadow answered him as he poured cold water over his head.
"He was using Sirius's death as a shield from letting us attend?" Harry wondered aloud and there were numerous nods. "You're right, Shadow, it is typical of Dumbledore." Harry spat out.
"Calm yourself, Potter, calmness is the key." Shadow spoke gently.
"Me calm down? You're the one who looks like you're about to catch fire." He retorted.
"If I spend any more time around Dumbledore, I probably will." There was only a hint of a smirk on Shadow's face.
"Well let's all get up to bed, it's getting late." Remus suggested and everyone seemed to agree.
"Rose, you're welcome to accompany Remus or take a guest room, and the girls can share a room. Potter, you know where your room is." Shadow instructed quietly.
"Of course, don't stay up so late yourself, Nicky." Rose replied.
"Don't worry about me, Rose, I'll be fine."
Harry made his way with everyone up the stairs and bade them good night at the room he and Ron shared. When he entered he found the room dark and that his companion was snoring quietly. He slipped into his night clothes and then into the warm bed. No sooner has his head hit the pillow than he had disappeared into the realm of dream.
A clearing was the first thing he saw when his eyes opened and then the lion that was Kage Masurao. There was an evil smirk on Kage's face. "It seems you have a deadly temper, Harry," laughed Kage.
"What do you mean?" asked Harry, confused.
"Well young Potter, someone brought to my attention the fact that when you lose your temper you tend to break things," said Kage. "And plus you bottle your temper and when released it is a vicious sight. After reviewing a few examples and scanning through some books I have discovered a fact about you." He said this slowly and then paused to let it sink in. "From all this information I have come to the conclusion that you are a..."
