Chapter 4
James, Morgan, Liz, and Jennica had headed towards their school and to the back of the field. They pushed apart some bushes and after a moment came into a small concealed clearing, with several boulders scattered around. They had found it in first grade, and it had been their fort ever since. They were the only ones who know it was there.
However, the comforting surroundings did nothing to calm their anger. James walked over, kicked one of the boulders and promptly cursed under his breath. The three girls snickered under their breaths, and James glared at them. Jennica sighed and climbed up the nearest boulder, followed by Morgan and Liz. James seemed to be avoiding the boulders in general and leaned against a tree.
"I can't believe they kept this from us all this time," James said, obviously trying to stop everyone from laughing at him by reminding them of said fact.
"Honestly, who would we have told? We're wierdos. We have no real friends at school, who would hang around us? We're freaks," Jennica ranted.
"Speak for yourself on the freak part," James muttered, causing Jennica to throw a pinecone at him.
They sat in silence for a moment, watching as the increasing darkness in the air wrapped around them. The leaves on the many surrounding trees shook softly as a breese blew them to and fro. Morgan started shivering in the cold spring air, as she hadn't been wearing a sweatshirt and it was only early april. James handed her his sweatshirt.
Suddenly there was a rustling coming from the bushes hiding the enterence and the man that they had seen earlier, with the long white beard came into the clearing. James jumped up quickly and said, complete with a mock bow, "I'm sorry, but this fort is a private area. Allow me to escort you off the premises."
Albus Dumbledore, however, had no ntention of leaving just yet. "I understand your parents just revealed some shoking information to you?"
"That's an understatement," muttered Jennica, but if Dumbledore heared her, he made no sign of it.
"You can stay mad at them for as long as you want, but you may want to keep this in mind. Your parents all witnessed terrible things done at the hands of Voldemort and his followers. They only wanted to protect you, but as I have learned through the years, lying is not a good way to do that. However, I can assure you their intentions were admirable, as I have made the same mistake before," he said.
And so, Dumbledore returned to Ginny and Neville's house, with James, Morgan, Liz, and Jennica following reluctantly behind.
"Do any of you know who this weirdo beard guy is?" James whispered.
"James! Honestly, you should be more respectful," hissed Liz.
"She's right you know," agreed Morgan.
"Come on, Jen, back us up!" Liz said to Jennica.
"Actually, I agree with James," Jennica said, earning herself a smack from Liz and Morgan and a high five from James.
Dumbledore watched them from up ahead, smiling. He knew they would have some fun when they got to Hogwarts…
