Prologue
He ran up to the front steps, careful not to drop the bundle of blankets he was holding, and rapped on the door.
A woman with short red hair and brown eyes and wearing purple robes answered.
She started to speak, but he cut her off.
"Re-"
"Shush, Gwen, you've got to be quiet!"
Gwen looked surprised.
"Why, what is it?"
He hesitated, then whispered, "Fudge must have told you about the circumstances, if anything happened to her..."
"But you can't accept this!"
"I have to, Gwen, for Diana's sake. Maybe in time, she'll find out the truth about me."
"I promise, my friend, I will help you convince Fudge to change the rule. I promise."
"Thank you, Gwen. Just promise me one more thing."
"Anything."
"Protect Diana. She's all I have left."
"I promise. She's all I have left too, after what happened to..."
She broke off, clenching her fist.
"Yeah, I know," he said, "Just take care of her. Oh, hold on..." he said, when Gwen tried to take Diana from him.
He whispered a melody that Carly had taught him to sing to Diana,
"Over the hills,
Past the sea,
There lies a secret home for you.
Dream of love,
Sing this song,
And we'll always be with you."
Gwen took Diana from him, and he Disapperated, so Gwen couldn't see him crying.
