Roma, The Papal Apartments',
"My child, he has been given the last rites of the holy mother church and has made his peace with the man. He is now passing out his last bequest to the elders of the church. Your bequest is on his bedside table if he can not speak to you. But he has been asking for you; many times each hour." Making only the briefest stop to listen to the Monsignor. Many eyes were looking on as the shockingly dressed young woman was escorted into the room. Many of the priests, bishops' and cardinals started to get up and were waved down by the monsignor at the Popes bedroom door. "He called for her, high church business." He then closed the door. Trying to prevent anything from entering the room. However, he could not stop death from entering the room.
The Lady Magdelena kneels by the bedside of Pope John Paul 11.
Yes, Papa, I know but some of the leaders of the order and I do not agree on certain items. Both in this world and the next. I can not work with them on any question.
That may be my child, but as a daughter of the church. I am asking you to please try. Only you can find the next one from me. As a friend please look again.
I will tell what I have learned…
IT was cold and hard. A cold physique of a person was lying next to him in bed. He pushed the body over, and the face on the body was that of… Hermioni Granger but the body was very cold… it was artificial… it was plastic … a PLASTIC MANNIQUIN. When turned over,IT went poof and confetti filled the air along with a piece of parchment, which floated down. Ron garbed the parchment and started to read:
RONNEEY KINS BE CAREFUL…
YOU MAY NOT BE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
BUT YOU ARE NEVER FAR FROM OUR HEARTS.
BUT DO SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD DO,
HAVE FUN IN SUNNEY SPAIN
BECAREFUL OF THE ENCHANTING SENORITAS
SIGNED GEORGE & FRED
Ronald stood there and was biting lower lip. 'One of these days, I'm going to figure out just how to get even. They do mean well and at least one member of the family does know where I'm at.' He thought. Best to get dressed and face the world. I wonder if PIG could make it down to southern Spain. As he was getting dress in his new clothes, Polo shirts, khaki paints, and a dark blue coat. His coat has a Hogwarts school crest on it. 'Now for the room.' "Kcapnealc!1 He called out." He stood back and watched as his things flew across the room and packed themselves. He room was clean and how for the final step. " Ecuder2" he called out and watched as his things shrunk themselves down to where he could but them all in his coat pocket. He looked around one last time and then walked out of the room.
By the time, he got down stairs and crossed the hotel lobby. The
Concierge was doing his best to get Ronald's attention. Finally then he got up from his station near the door, he walked over to Ron and said. "Mr. Weasley. These are for you."
Thanking the Concierge, he then took the envelope and tore it open. He found a number of tickets and some Spanish money. Ron looked down and read the letter. My Dear Ronald, Here are the funds that you will need to get to the Royal School of Magic at Itailtca. Ronald read of the note and let out a deep sigh. The note had a list of addresses and what to do when you got to point B from Point A. From the Hotel, take a cab to the Autobus Estation. From the Estation you will take the bus to Itailic. When you get to Itailic, you will walk over to the Gladiators Coliseum. When you enter on the main floor area turn to your left. Then walk down two levels and then walk back top your right. Then you walk over to the third cavity. And there you will be met. Ronald walked out of the Hotel whistling to himself the tune 'We're off to see the wizard of OZ, the wonderful wizard of…"
The Papal Apartment in Roma.
From the side table the monsignor picked up an envelope, and handing it to her, says "He is gone my child ,Christ has called and he finally answered. He was just waiting for you to return. Here my child, here are your written instructions. Under his signature and with his seal. Only the next Pope can rescind these orders. Then he must know what they are. And even I don't know what they are." He handed her an envelope that had been sealed by wax. She started to open the envelope, but was stopped when the monsignor continued "Not here take; it back to one of the orders' rooms. And do not let any of the priests, bishops' and cardinals or any one from the next room see your orders for his sake. Many in the next room will try to stop you. The positioning for the right place has already started. All of the many players in the church are right out side of that door. Lady Magdelena is very careful." Magdelena walked out the door and across the room. Before any one of the waiting assemblages could even reach her, she was already gone. One of the Swiss guards who was waiting for her asked.
"Where to Lady Magdelena?"
"Is their anywhere I can be alone?" She said.
"This way Lady Magdelena… You have some Apartments; they are ready for you…"
'MY apartments?"
"The apartments really belong the Templers'..." The Swiss Guard was doing his best not to run alone side the Lady Magdalena. But with her long legs. She was moving at a faster rate. She followed the Swiss Guard down a number of corridors and a number of stairways. "Here are the Grand Masters' rooms; the Holy Father had then made ready for you use."
"Do you know what is in this Papal writes?"'
"Only some parts of it."
"And that part is?"
"I am to travel with you and provide assistance as I deem necessary. Other than that, I really do not know very much."
"Even that may be too much. I am guessing that you are a templer?"
"Yes, my Lady. And my father and my Grandfather were also."
"Any thing else I should know about?As the sun was coming up over the older part of London, we find Mrs. Peel in her rooms at the Leaky Cauiden. Mrs. Peel had just finished dressing. She was having a great time of it, no more disguises. She could now dress as she liked, and the fashions of the sixty has had returned. The words from last night still haunted her. '"Have you heard about the Muggle Chief Superindentant of new Scotland Yard? Turned out he was a death eater working for 'he would must not be named"' proclaimed Stan of the knight bus. One thing we are going to have to do is tell people to stop gossiping about what is going on. Winnkey had brought a tray of tea, coffee, food and sweets. "Just a very light breakfast for someone on the go," Winnkey had said. The replay from Lady Bones of the Magic Law Enforcement office had come during the night. The envelope was now lying on the bed. She knew better that to look inside. Picking up the Envelope and walking down the stairs, she was looking around for 'Old Tom'. When she heard her name being call out. She turned and saw Steed and Tom talking.
"Mrs. Peel, Thomas and I were just talking and we find that we both enjoy a number of the same things. Are you ready, the PM is waiting? In a moment Steed. Tom the paper that you and I were talking about. I now own that paper. So do not worry about it. Mr. Moneymaker is moving that piece of paper from my hands to yours. You should have it within the week. So do not worry about Mr. Malfoy any more and if he does GIVE you any grief, just call Mr. Moneymaker and he can get hold of me. My new apartments in London will be ready by the end of the week. I want you to have your boy learn how to take care of them. Winkey will teach and oversee his training in apartment upkeep. And you will have more time to work on his magic along with the others. How, many waifs' are they now?"
"There are about ten my lady, And that number grows everyday."
"I want you to get hold of one of my former student. A Ms. Smith, she had to drop out of Hogwards, last year. Offer her a job as Nanny to the children. Tell her that she will me working for me. Also tell Mr. Moneymaker that she is to be placed on salary. You might as well find her some rooms. Along with rooms for the children also."
"Mrs. Peel... Emma if you start that you going to be running an orphanage before long. And that is going to run into lots of money."
"Yes, I know Tom. But what is money? If not a tool to use it for some good. I was not able to help any of them then I was at Hogwarts. Like I wanted to. Dumbledore did what he was told to do by the board of governors. And most of them were purebloods so you know what the out come would have been.
While that was going on, our hero has traveled from his room in the Hotel to the old bus station in Seville Spain.
Ronald had gotten to the bus station that was located in the Southeastern part of the old city The ticket for his trip to Italic was already contained in the envelope that he was given from the concierge It was a short two-hour ride by bus from the bus station to the bus stop at Italic. After an hour of walking around looking at the floors of old roman homes. He broke off from the tour and walked toward the sub-terrain levels. After a few wrong turns, he found himself in an alcove with a number of other bus riders. "I guess we are here for the same reason." Ron said.
"Are you here for the school sen'or?" What looked like a first year asked?
"Yes and no." Ronald said. Looking around for something out of place. "Ah, here it is." Ron had picked up an English Chocolate bar wrapper. He could feel the magically signature. Your first lesson in Magic, this is called a porta-key. He took hole of the wrapper and said now everyone takes hold of the wrapper. If you can touch it, take hold of the person next to you and hold on. He could feel the pull of magic, right behind his navel. Then the spinning started, alone with a colored light show. Within a few nano seconds, he was standing out side of what could have been the old entrance of the Alhambra in Granada. He got up and dusted himself off, and was helping the first years look more presentable with he heard the voice of Don Juan.
"Ah, Senior Ronald Weasley, you made it. Some of my colleagues were taking bets on whether or not you would show up. I see you have found your first years already. Come it is time for the welcoming banquet. As Ron led 'his' students up the concrete and under the large archway.
"You are entering the Royal Academy of Magic at Italic, Spain. Today you will leave the plain world behind. And you begin your travels into the World of Magic. Where Witches and Wizards, and all the stories that you have read about come to life. You will meet Dragons, Elves', Wearwolfs, Giants, and all kind of Magical beings. You will do things that others only read and dream about. While you are here the others around you are going to become your family. They are your brother and sisters. Professor Ronald Weasley will become your older brother. If you have ANY problems, you will go to him. And he will help you out. And yes, before you ask this is a copy of the Alhambra in Cordoba. And yes, even some of the statues are magically enhanced. They are not here to hurt you ,they are here to help you and some will even pass on to you the lesson that they learned it was their adventures. Now before we begin, make sure that you introduce yourself to each other and try and remove some of the dust from your travels. I will make sure that everything is ready for your entrance to the court of the ambassadors were you will surrender your past lives and you will start anew. From this point on you will join the World of Witchcraft."
Ronald who was looking around saw one young girl who was about to cry. Walking over to her and look down to her said. "Don't cry. It will be all right."
"But, I love my mommy and daddy. I do not want to give them up. Why do I have to give them up just to go to this old school?"
Ron bent down and hugged the girl. "Don Juan is speaking of the old way of life. You are entering a new wand wonderful life. I went to my school in England and I did not give up May friends and family. Think of these as you new brother and sisters. And I will be your big brother."
"I never had a big brother before; I never had any sisters either. What do you do?" She asked between weeping and whimpering. "Here take my hand and walk with me. I will walk you to your seat and sit with you if I can."
"YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?" she was hugging his neck.
"Are you all ready?" Don Juan asked.
'I think we are all ready Sir." Ron said. An older looking girl came over, took the young girl by the hand, and led her off towards the tables. Ronald waived to her and mouthed 'I'll see you later.'
"Welcome one and all to an other year of Magic and Education at the Royal Spanish School of Magic at Italic. I will welcome our new students and our new professors both full time and our student teachers'. But, before I become so long winded let us eat. (The food Ronald was told later was prepared by the Spanish house elves. The welcoming dinner was served not by house elf; upper class men served it. The Welcoming speech was almost a carbon copy of the speech that AD gave every year. The only time that Ron ears' picked up was when his names were mentioned. "My apprentice this year is Mr. Ronald Weasley, late of Hogwarts in Highlands of Scotland. He will be the first year's tutor, Assailant flying teacher. He will be teaching the finer points' of Q and wizards chess. He will be teaching a class on Muggles studies, and a class on DaVinci Counsel and Learning principles." Ronald was shocked. He thought he was here to relearn his OWLS and NEWTS. Now here he was going to teach classes from the first through seventh years. "And now it is best that you all go to your rooms. The principal young gentleman and Principal Young gentlewoman will show around the school and make sure you know how to get around the school. Also, were your rooms are and were the year sponsor of the years is. Now a good afternoon to every one of you and I will see you all at dinner were we will be handing out your class schedules. I would like to see Mr. Weasley.
Ronald walked up to the head table and stood as Don Juan talked to the other professors. "You wanted to talk to me, professor?"
"Ah, yes my dear Ronald, I am sorry to spring all this on you at one time. But, we have had some staff changes and we are still changing the schedules of classes around. I was forced to give you some classes on subject that you may not total prepared for. But I am sure that you will be up to the responsibility. I have made sure that the classes in question are later in the week. And you will have all the books and notes on that subject. And here is a blueprint of the building and grounds to help you find you way around. We will meet every Thursday evening to work on your difficulties. If that is all right with you. Also since you will be teaching, the school has opened up an account for you with the Bank of Spain in Seville; G branch office. Ronald along with your subjects you will also be the assistant professor in these areas. Flying, Herbology and your textbook will be textbook One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi. Also, History of Magic and your Textbook will be A History of Magic. You will be teaching the first year's course Muggle Studies; Spanish Muggles their life and living conditions, the textbook is of the same name. ON Tuesday night, you will be teaching sexual characteristics or dating men vs. woman. Your will be teaching first year Potions. By the way, your Professor Snape wrote your Textbook, Potions. Do you have any questions?"
"Yes, sir. I know some of the courses' that you talked about. But I know nothing about the Wizard Leonardo da Vinci magic or work in the Muggle world. And you your self said I was having trouble in the other studies area. That is one of the things you and I were going to working on?"
"Then you will enjoy his books and notes. You should also read Michael J. Gelb book Da Vinci Decoded. Before your first class on Thursday morning. Besides you father is head of Muggle art effects isn't He. That course should be right your alley. I think any more questions can wait until Thursday night. Don't you? Here is Franco your house elf. He will show you to your rooms'. I must beg off right now as my duties of co headmaster require me to be elsewhere right now." Ronald was led off toward the teacher's wing of the great palace. Where he found that his bedroom was the same size of his seventh years room at Hogwarts. His private study and dinning room was the same as Griffendoor common room all by itself. He found his room done up in a deep blue and green. The last person to use this room was an American and was a big follower of American style football, and green and blue were the team colors of the Seattle Seahawks. The furniture was done in a deep walnut with the bed covers done in a deep blue. The chairs were done in a rich corlina leather. He looked over and found his desk; it was a reproduction of the late President John Kennedys desk. It was made out of the wood from the HMS Repulse. It had a built in Muggle computer and behind the desk was a full five selves of books. 'Herominoe would have a field day in here.' Looking over the book the titles ran from Q thought the ages, the profession Q player, Chess by Bobby Fisher, to book on magic by AD, Transfiguration by Professor McGonagall, A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, Intermediate Transfiguration, Advanced Transfiguration by AD and M. McGonagall. "Franco can you get me a butterbeer, please?"
"Here you go Mr. Weasley, sir. Don Juan thought you might need one about now. Also, here is your teaching schedule for the next semester."
Ron took the butterbeer in one hand and held out his hand for the other. As he looked at the list if classes and their times'. The more he looked at the schedule, the long the put on his beer became. "Thank you and I will make sure that Don Juan gets his thanks also." Monday. His first class would be at one o'clock. Herbology, the Textbook One 1000 Magical Herbs and Fungi. At four O'clock on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. He is going to be teaching The History of Magic with a textbook of the same name. Dinner from Five thirty to Seven, You will have an open time until nine O'clock. During that time you can help, tutor, or any thing you wish or need to-do. ON Tuesdays and Thursday morning from eight to nine thirty, you will teach first year's course Muggle Studies; Spanish Muggles their life and living conditions, the textbook is of the same name. ON Wednesday and Fridays, you will be teaching your sex education class. On the other nights' you will be teaching your class on Da Vinci Decoded and his principles. He looked over the list and found out that he would be teaching about 50 hours a week, and that was not even counting flying and Q classes on Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning; and the games on Saturday and Sunday Afternoon. His Social time would be on Saturday night and after worship on Sundays. His eyes went back to the other class O CRACKERS I will be teaching SEX EDUCATION TO FIRST THROUGH FIFTH YEARS.
