Chapter 20

Making contact

"I will do what I can do to find your team-mates, along with the others. I have a few more leads to follow. In the meantime, I suggest you boys stay here, where there is safety in numbers."

The following weeks mixed together. Everyone was shocked to hear about all the mutants that had already disappeared. Kitty had sobbed into Jean's shoulder when she was told that Lance had been among those taken, and had been despondent ever since.

Ana had been called to Xavier's office on more than one occasion and had returned later saying that she had been questioned about certain things about the wizarding world, which confused Harry greatly. He had yet to be called by the professor and suspected that there was more than what was being said. One day he asked her directly what types of questions were being asked when she confessed.

"He's contacting the wizarding world Jack, He's been sending owls to Dumbledore."

"What?! What did he tell him? Do they know I'm here?"

"Of course they don't! All they know is that there are a few wizarding kids here. He's been trying to get information about Voldermort, and if the others are, if their still alive. From what he's found, they are." Ana said all this very fast, and Harry was left with the feeling that she was still leaving something very big out.

"And? What are you hiding? What's going on? Please Ana tell me!"

She took a breath before, "Nothing happening yet, he's just seeing what would… Dumbledore has invited us to stay at the School. Saying that it's the safest place for us and then our two groups can work together to get the others back and stop the bastard. So far the Prof had declined, but… he's been sensing the Death Eaters out there Harry. They know we're here but don't want to attack us all together like this."

"Go to Hogwarts? Ana I cant go back there! They'll take one look at me and throw me back in Azkaban!"

"I know Jack! That's what we're working on. The Prof is trying to see if he can create some sort of immunity for us." At his doubtful look she went on, "They need us Jack. We're the new power! They know Voldermort has a bunch of us under his control, and they need us to help their cause. We might be able to pull this off!"

It was later on that night that Harry was called to Xavier's Study. Upon entering the professor greeted him and offered a seat in front of his desk. "Ana informed me that you know that I have been in contact with the wizarding world." At Harry's nod he continued. "I have been trying to find a way to keep you and the other students safe, and it would seem that the Institute will not be fit for that task for much longer. And so as you are aware I have been attempting to make a form of immunity for you, so that we may take safety inside the Wizarding School Hogwarts. Read this Harry." At this he was handed a piece of parchment and he read the letter that was written in green ink.

Professor Charles Xavier,

As requested in your previous letter, I have spoken with the appropriate authority, and can give you my word that all your students will be safe inside Hogwarts, including the pupils with 'questionable backgrounds'. It is my wish that during your stay that we can forge an alliance between our two kinds. Please find enclosed are instructions on how to reach the school train which will be made serviceable to you pending your response.

Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

Harry slowly put the parchment down on the desk in front of him, and looked up at the Professor. "Questionable backgrounds?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, I was careful not to give any details that might lead to your identity. I merely informed him that I was wary of taking refuge in Hogwarts due to the status of some of my wizarding students. I said that they were quite safe and of no danger to his students, but that fate had been against them causing their retreat from the wizarding world. It was my excuse that I did not want to bring them to his school only to be taken away by the Ministry. Now, I have his word that you will be safe there, and can not be removed. But I will not make you go Harry. It is your decision."

Harry sat back and thought. It was his first thought to immediately decline, not wanting to leave the safety of the institute. 'but then, didn't he say that it wasn't going to be safe much longer?' "Professor, Ana said that you have sensed the Death Eaters, are they getting closer?"

"They are, and from what I cold gather from their thoughts, Voldermort is verging on a complete invasion soon. Either way we will have to evacuate the school. We can not stay here and face that large of a force head on."

"What if they do try and take me? What will happen?"

"Then we will be prepared for that. If they do try and remove you, your fellow team-mates will protect you long enough to get us out of Hogwarts and we will retreat to where Magneto is seeking shelter."

"Why cant we just go there then? Why do we have to go to Hogwarts at all?" He protested.

"Because at Hogwarts we would be in the company of the people who have all the information on Voldermort. It would be the best chance to find the mutants that have been captured."

He sighed, knowing that the Prof was right, but that didn't take the nervousness away. "Alright. I suppose, I mean it's the best chance right? I can do that." He hung his head in acceptance.

The professor wheeled around the desk and came to a halt in front of Harry. Placing a hand on his shoulder he said, "You are one of us Harry, and we will not let you be taken from us. Sometimes we must face a deepest fears for the ones we love. I know it will be hard Harry, but you can not run from your past forever. I must say I am proud of you for your decision." Harry just nodded, and left to sort through his thoughts.

The next morning the Professor made the announcement that they would be taking refuge in England. Many were shocked and didn't want to leave the institute, but were then told of the impending battle if they remained. After all the facts were told and everyone was assured that Harry would be safe among those that had betrayed him, Xavier told them of the Plan. Those that would be going to Hogwarts, which would be the Institute children and the Brotherhood should they decide to come, would be taken to England by way of the Blackbird and other airborne vehicles. After that they would board the Hogwarts express, which along with Hogwarts itself, had been made to be accessible to them.(1) Logan would remain with the students while the others instructors along with the Professor would be heading to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Storm would later join the students at Hogwarts and there they would continue their training and studies. Dumbledore had arranged for them to have their own dorm tower, along with several class rooms for their use.

With the plan set, the Professor dismissed his students to pack their belongings. They would leave that night.

(1)This means that the charms that would make Hogwarts appear to be a ruin and the muggle repelling charms would have no effect on them.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oh and heres a special treat! This is a little bit from chapter 26, I finished it this morning. A little preview.

"But you have to know that. Please Harry," she pleaded, her voice getting desperate.

He only turned away from her, the voices in his head screaming his guilt. She got up made him face her. "Please don't give up." She cried, wrapping her arms around his middle.

They stood like that, and Harry did not return the hug. He couldn't. He could feel her tears soaking through his shirt, as she cried into his chest.
