Chapter 3

In which they fail to melt wizards

Kazul looked right into Hagrid eyes, and said, "What did you expected? Diced Troll Food?"

"It can talk too? " asked Hagrid. "What an amazing creature!"

"Excuse me, sir?" asked Telemann. We come from a distant past of yours, and we would like to be informed about this interesting place which seems to reeks with magic, but in a different form, and…"

"What did he just said?" questioned Hagrid.

"He just means that we just came through a time machine and we would like to speak to someone who knows the most about this place," said Morwen.

"Well, I'm the one who you want to talk to," said Hagrid joyfully, "but please tell me about this dragon of yours."

"This is Kazul, the king of the dragons. She will be happy to answer all of your questions."

"First off; she… but the king can't be…"

"The king is just the name of the job. The gender doesn't matter," replied Kazul.

"Well… okay then…"

"Excuse me, sir?" asked Telemann. "Since you're busy with the dragon, can we speak to someone else?"

"Fine then," answered Hagrid. "Follow this pathway. You'll come across a building. Go inside and call for Professor Albus Dumbledore."

"Thank you. We'll be going then," said Mendenbar. "Kazul stay here and answer these man's questions."

The group heads towards the pathway. Along the path, they see statues, a stadium, and even an angry looking tree. They arrived to a humungous castle marked: "Hogwarts: Witchcraft and wizardry."

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Cimorene. "Time has changed. A school that teaches wizardry next to the enchanted forest."

"Not only that, it also teaches witchcraft with wizards," added Morwen.

"Maybe wizards have changed over the centuries," suggested Daystar.

"Ha! Wizards don't change their habits," put in Shiara.

"Well, we can't stay here waiting. Let's go in and see if they are really dangerous," said Telemann. "You all remember the wizard melting spell right?"

"Argelfraster!" shouted everyone.

"Good, good, let's go in, shall we?"

They opened the door, and saw in their amazement teenagers running through the halls in robes. There were huge chandeliers, portraits, suit of armours, and a few ghosts wandering by. Telemann spotted an man dark greasy black hair, and said, "Excuse me sir, we are travellers from a distant past. We were told by a certain Hagrid that a Professor Albus Dumbledore could explain us," explained Mendenbar.

"My name is Severus Snape, a teacher of this school. If you would follow me, I will direct you to Albus Dumbledore."

They followed Severus Snape up a few stairs, through a corridor, and came upon a gargoyle statue.

"Lemon drop," said Snape.

The gargoyle shifted, and an entrance was seen leading up to a room. Mendenbar remarked that the stone gargoyle reminded him of the wooden gargoyle at home. Inside of the room, there were shelves and shelves of books, portraits of people, random ornaments here and there, and a rather pretty looking red bird. There was an old looking man and a teenager standing near a desk where there were many strange looking equipment.

"Fascinating!" exclaimed Telemann, " Amazing piece of work that the future has brought! Morwen, have you seen these? This is like my creation which can formulate what you…"

"TELEMANN!" shouted the other of the group together.

"Telemann, we can examined those objects later but now we have to get some explanations," said Morwen. "Excuse me sir, are you Professor Dumbledore?" to the old looking man.

"Yes, I am Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of this school. Who might you be?"

"We are travellers from the past. My husband here invented a time machine, and we were told by Hagrid that you could inform us about your time."

"Pardon me, are you a wizard?" asked Shiara.

"Why yes! The gentlemen in this school are wizards and ladies are witches. Why do you ask?" said Albus Dumbledore.

"Quick, Morwen get the buckets ready. Mendenbar, get ready to use your sword. Cimorene, get prepare to say the trigger word to activate the liquefaction spell. On you mark, get set, charge!" shouted Telemann quickly.

Everyone got ready and Morwen, Shiara and Daystar flung buckets to the three people, Mendenbar created squirts of soapy water with lemon juice, and Telemann and Cimorene shouted Argelfraster.

"How dare you wizards are still here?" shouted Cimorene.

"How dare you teach witches and wizards in the same school? It's demeaning!" exclaimed Morwen.

"We should have destroyed you long ago," yelled Shiara.

Snape looked utterly bewildered, and stepped back. The boy was wiping his glasses, and Albus Dumbledore just looked mildly amused, but they were not melting.

"Why aren't they melting?" asked Daystar who sounded frightened.

Then, Morwen noticed something; the wizards were not holding staffs.
