Chapter 4

Arthur Pendragons POV.

One; how can I get out of a lake when I don´t remember going into it, two; I´m pretty sure I´m dead but I feel very much alive and I thought heaven would be more peaceful.

"How the hell?" I hear a familiar voice say. Yeah defiantly not heaven Gwaine is here.

"Arthur?" I hear Gwen´s soft voice say. I look up and see them all. Gwen, Leon, Gwaine, Elyan, Percival, Gaius and even Lancelot. But how? Lancelot have been dead for a few years but I´m also dead. Aren´t I? Are we all dead? For how long have we been dead? And where is Merlin?

"I guess this is not heaven because if it is I´m very disappointed" Gwaine says. My thought exactly.

"We are not dead or at least not any longer" says Gaius.

"How can that be?" Leon mumbles. How can we be alive if we are meant to be dead?

"We are alive because our time has still not come and we have a destiny we must follow. The question is for how long have we been gone?" Gaius says.

"But why isn´t Merlin here. Is his destiny to help me fulfil my destiny and I can´t do that without him" I say. Gaius eyes widen.

"You know" he breathes. The knights and Gwen looks just very confused. Or actually Lancelot doesn´t look very confused. Did he know?

"Yeah Merlin told me when I was dying. About the dragon, about our destiny and about his magic" Several big gasps is heard by my words.

"Merlin had magic?" Leon asks looking flabbergasted.

"I knew it! I knew those plates were flying!" exclaims Gwaine. Eh What?

"Then he must be Emerys" Percival declares as if it would be obvious. I, Gaius and Lance just stare at him. How could he know?

"You right Sir Percival, Merlin is Emerys. Emerys the most powerful sorcerer of the old religion and the man to help the once and future king to fulfil his destiny to bring the magic back and free it. You eight have been brought back to fulfil your destinies but also maybe find new ones. The world has changed a lot both for the better and for the worse. The world needs you. Now find your way back to Camelot and you will find Merlin. Please let him know I still love him"

The voice seems strangely enough come from the water.

"Freya" the name falls softly over Gaius lips.

"Who is she?" Elyan asks.

"She was his only love. But she died all too soon" Gaius says with sorrow.

"What?! How?" I ask but Gaius shakes his head.

"It´s not my secret to tell you, now we probably should get back to Camelot"

"Yeah but what way?"

Merlin´s POV.

One after one people begins to fill the Weasley´s house. Remus and Sirius is still not here. But I can feel the eyes of Albus Dumbledore on me. It´s makes me jittery and not just that but something changed today. Something is in the air.

"You don´t need to do this you know" Fred says quietly where he stands beside me. George on my other side. I look him steady in the eyes.

"I want to" They nod with small smiles. We all know the risk tonight.

Suddenly two men comes from the chimney and I recognize them immediately. Sure they are older but still very similar looking. They goes around saying hello to everyone and then they are right in front of me and the twins.

"Hello Fred, George and…" Remus stop when his eyes land on me. Their eyes widen.

"Hi I´m Mervin Emeryson" I introduce myself. Very thankful that wasn´t the name I used when I first met them.

"Oh… Oh yeah we are Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Do you by any chance know someone by the name Emerys?" Lupin asks.

"Ehm yeah he was my father" I lie.

"Was?" asks Black softly.

"Yeah his dead" I answer and a hand land on my shoulder. It´s Lupin´s.

"I´m sorry, he was a good man. We met him a few times when we two were still in school. You look striking alike him" I just nod and gives the both of them a small smile.

"Okay we are all collected now let us get going" Albus says and we go outside and sit on our brooms. Actually me and magic brooms doesn´t work very well. In secretly I made my own of just sticks and some magic to make it look as a real broom and so it´s an un-magical broom it´s I who fly. I learnt a spell to fly for some years ago. It isn´t a very fun spell because it takes much power and my eyes will be gold the whole flight. So I can´t look up at the whole time I´m flying if I don´t want anyone to know. The simpler way to fly would have been if I changed to a bird but they would have noticed I was gone. So this is it.

Thankfully isn´t the flight very long before we get there. Soon we stand in Harry´s room giving him a fast explaining, transform ourselves so we look as Harry and then are on our way to the Weasley´s again. We fly in small groups or pairs. I get in pair with Sirius.

We are the last one back. I get a bad feeling as fast we land. Something is very wrong. I guess Sirius has the same feeling as we hurry inside. I immediately here Moly´s cries and raised voices. This can´t be good.

I step in the room now as myself again and not as Harry. I let my eyes take in the room full of people. Molly sits on the floor by the couch crying, Arthur stands above leaning over someone with worry and sadness all over his face. One the couch lies George pale one of his ears bloody and gone. Fred is of course by his side also with tears in his eyes. Ginny and Ron not far away. I can´t let this happen. Time to really do something.

I make my way through all the people and find a way to reach the couch.

"Hi Merv" George words are frail and I know he´s in much pain.

"Hello George, you know what I told you and Fred about not thinking any different of me whatever happens" I pause.

"Yeah" he says. No one seems to notice us talking or what we talking about.

"I need you to hold on to that now, I will help you now it might tickle a little but not worse than that. Do you believe in me?" I say. He looks confused but nods without hesitating at all. With that I rise my hand over his ear and let my eyes grow gold.

So you may have noticed that some of the characters as Sirius, Lupin and Dumbledore are alive in this fanfiction and that´s because I hate death and especially deaths of characters I really like. So here they are alive!
