The World of a King and the Grandfather of Magic

Chapter 3: Revelations and Camelot

Lights were shining down onto his face making him groan with sleepiness. He sighed contently when a shadow past over his face. He thought about where he was and how he got there. Then he remembered the field, the forest, and the three people whose names he couldn't seem to remember.

There were two men and a woman on horses laughing at them and their wands. The younger man had said something to make them mad and they ended up throwing curses at him. The old man called them witches and hopped of his horse. Then they introduced them, Harry groaned with the new revelation, he had to talk to his friends.

He opened his eyes cautiously to see the old mans face in his own. He yelped and backed away from the man in a hurry. The man who claimed he was Merlin chuckled lightly and step back to give the young man some room.

"What the bloody hell do you think you were doing?" yelled Harry making five groans come from behind him. He turned around to see his five friends slowly sitting up and rubbing their eyes. Their eyes proceeded to open and confused faces looked at his own and then at the men and woman before five more groans were heard.

"Well young man I was simply checking to make sure thee was okay," said the old mage softly. Harry glared at the man before going to help his friends off the hard and wet ground.

"So you always go and stick you face into others just to make sure they are okay?" asked Harry rhetorically. He nodded his head at the muttered thanks he got.

"Um…sir if you could excuse us for a second," said Hermione politely. The two men nodded hesitantly, Hermione smiled weakly before ushering the five away from hearing range of the men and woman.

"Hermione I must've heard wrong did they say Merlin and King Arthur?" muttered Neville hopefully with something akin to fear plaguing his voice.

"No you heard right Neville that is what they said," replied Hermione sadly as she shook her head with confusion.

"Leave that as it may, they are obviously lying," whispered Ginny full of rage at this joke. Hermione ignored Ginny and turned thoughtfully toward Harry.

"Harry what was that thing you showed us at Grimmauld?" asked Hermione curiously if not a bit accusingly.

"I dunno I found it in a cabinet in Sirius's old room," said Harry defensively as he halfheartedly glared at Hermione.

"Harry that thing could have been dangerous!" exclaimed Hermione. "Nevermind that thing whatever it was is dangerous!" she yelled at Harry as she hit him across the head.

"Hey that hurt!" yelled Harry indignantly as Ron laughed next to him. Ginny then hit him for being well him.

"What was that for?" asked Ron as he rubbed his head looking hurt at Ginny.

"For being stupid, there is nothing funny about are situation Ronald," replied Ginny with a glare. He glared back at the use of his full name but stopped at the stern look Hermione sent him.

"Lets get back on schedule, where are we?" asked Hermione worriedly as she took a look at the fields of grass and the forests of trees.

"Well isn't it obvious we have gone back in time," laughed Luna with a mysterious twinkle in her violet eyes. Silence reigned on between them before Ron laughed and everyone joined in.

"You know you are loony, back in time yah as if that could happen," laughed Ron as he shook his head at the silliness of the answer.

"Yah Fred and George must have a new prank and needed someone to test it on," said Ginny logically as she tried to convince herself just that.

"Yah I am sure that's it," added Hermione as she shook her head along with everyone. Silence grew before Neville cleared his throat and gestured over to the waiting men and woman.

They walked over silently and they all took in big breaths before picking up their wands they had dropped and pointing them at themselves. Whispered word that the others could not hear went around the group. Eyes shut tightly, hopeful expressions on their pale faces but as their eyes open and saw they were still there sadness plagued the air heavily.

"How about you children come with us to my home?" suggested the man named Arthur, King Arthur.

"How can we trust you?" asked Hermione solemnly as nobody dare answer the question.

"Well you can go with your instincts, if you are witches then you will know because your magic tells you so," answered Merlin honestly. Harry listened to the old man who reminded him of Dumbledore in a way and just by his voice he could tell no feel this man he could trust.

"Lets go guys for we have no other place to be," said Harry with an encouraging smile toward his friends who were less enthusiastic. The five friends knew they could trust Harry and nodded absently as they were lost in their own thoughts of confusion and sadness.

"Since ye have no horses I guess ye will have to walk," said the woman kindly as gracefully slid off her horse and started walking away.

"Who is she?" asked Ron curiously as he started walking slowly followed by the others.

"That is my wife Gwen," answered the King simply as they walked down a green hill abundant in flowers.

"So how far is this place?" asked Ginny as she walked along side Harry. The king did not answer this time but the mage named Merlin in an amused voice.

"So many questions younglings, how old are ye?" asked Merlin amusedly as a slight chuckle escaped his mouth.

"I will be sixteen shortly as will Neville," answered Harry politely wondering what day it was. Neville nodded alongside Harry, Merlin nodded and looked expectantly at the others.

"We are sixteen," answered Hermione pointing to her and Ron absently, still lost in her thoughts but polite enough to answer.

"Luna and I are fifteen," added Ginny as she sniffed indignantly. The others laughed wholeheartedly at Ginny who smiled sheepishly.

"That doesn't answer our question," said Ron hotly as he glared at the man who looked confused before nodding.

"Just over this next hill younglings," replied the man softly as he stared out at the beautiful horizon fondly. "So ye now are names, what may yours be?" asked the old Mage as he stroked his beard thoughtfully. Looks were shared and nods were made before Harry answered for them.

"My name is Harry," he said as he pointed to himself. "This is Neville, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Luna," added Harry as he pointed to each of them in turn.

Merlin nodded his acceptance before looking over the horizon once more. They started climbing back over the hill in a comfortable silence. As they reached the top of the hill, they could see a vast village that looked like it was from the medieval ages.

A large castle stood in the middle with many turrets and towers. Smaller houses made from wood stood around the castle loyally and a market place that was filled with people resided there as well. A large stone fence stood majestically around the small kingdom and a mote went around the outer layers. Guards stood stiffly everywhere around the stone with impassive faces.

"What is this place?" asked Neville, his mouth agape with wonder. The men and woman chuckled but answered nonetheless.

"Welcome to my home," started the King proudly. "Welcome to Camelot!"
