Chapter 1 Arrival
Albus Dumbledore opened his eyes and looked around as he stood up off the ground. He was standing in an intersection of two long hallways. The hallways went down as far as he could see in four directions. There were thousands of doors along each hallway. As he dusted his robes off an old witch popped out of no where.
"Name?" she asked quickly.
"Albus Dumbledore."
"Oh, yes. yes. Lily and James Potter and Sirius Black have requested you to stay in their room. It's the South Hallway, 3rd door on your right." Then she was gone.
Dumbledore looked up at the ceiling. Above each one was a sign that either said North, South, East or West. He walked towards the one that said south on it. He saw the 1st door on the left, then the second and finally he came upon the third. Before he knocked he silently thanked Merlin that the Potters door wasn't the 1,003 door because he didn't want to walk that far. He knocked on the door and Lily opened it.
"Albus! How long its been since we've seen you. Well face to face that is." Lily smiled and opened the door wide, ushering him in. When he got inside he saw James and Sirius leaning back in recliners chatting. When they saw who had entered they stood up with goofy smiles on their faces.
"Hey Albus!" James shook the man's hand. As did Sirius.
"So even the most intelligent wizard couldn't predict a place like this, eh?" Sirius laughed. Dumbledore realized that his mouth was open slightly with surprise. The room one wall that was like a big tv screen. In front of it were four recliners. Then there were two cots on each side wall. When Dumbledore looked into the screen he saw the Hogwarts grounds underneath the astronomy tower.
"What is this place?" Dumbledore asked.
"After you die you come here. Each room is watching a person living. We of course are watching Harry and we thought that you'd want to too. Especially after we learned about the Horcruxes." Lily explained.
"I see." Dumbledore walked over to a recliner and sat down, the rest followed. Once they were all comfortable they turned towards the screen where they watched the living deal with the departure of an old friend while the people in the room enjoyed their time with their new arrival.
