"When I became an Unspeakable, Voldemort was beginning to gather his followers. My parents died the day before I made the prophecy to McGonagall and Madam Bones. The prophecy is what has dictated my life. I gave up quidditch in hopes of protecting you two" Hayden said with pride.
"I still don't get it. If our parents died before Lily and James, why didn't we go to the Potter family?" Oliver asked.
"Even I do not understand that" McGonagall replied.
"It was all part of Dumbledore's master plan."
"When McGonagall was attending Hogwarts she fell in love with one Tom Riddle. The two were the perfect example of house unity."
"It was love at first sight. He experience so much, but was able to open up to me. He was my first true friend at Hogwarts. He wanted to know me for who I was, not for my grades or talents," McGonagall recalled before becoming teary-eyed.
"If it wasn't for Dumbledore…" Hayden began.
"…I would be married right now. Dumbledore plagued him with some of the nastiest school ghosts. There were many that were killed by muggles. Yes, Tom hated his father, but he did not hate muggles truly until my final year. I'm sorry…" McGonagall went on before excusing herself out of the room.
"Lads, it's about time for lunch. I'll be right back. I'll whip something up. Meanwhile, why don't you look through the albums? There are some familiar faces in them."
Hayden closed the door and went off to check on Minerva. He found her in the kitchen. Hayden cooked lunch while calming the Gryffindor Head.
At the same time, Oliver and Harry began to open the boxes labeled "ALBUMS."
