Of Power, Wisdom and Courage

Filius Flitwick was sitting at his desk and sighed. There were still many essays he had to look through, but not today. He had cast a quick tempus charm, just to realise that it was well beyond midnight.
He took a last sip of his tea, a strong goblin blend, before he put the remaining essays into his desk-drawer and was about to get up to go to bed, when a swirling green vortex appeared in the middle of his office. Out of the vortex came an woman and a young man. The woman would have turned many men's heads, but one look at her was enough for Filius to know, this woman didn't use her body to entice men, but to kill them. She was holding a bundle of cloth in her arms that sometimes stirred, as if it were alive. The young man on the other hand was carrying a lot more. In each of his hands were two sacks and on his back he carried a longsword. He seemed very young to the old charms professor, 17, maybe 18 years of age. Filius looked dumbfounded at them for a second, before he cleared his throat. He would try to solve this peacefully.
"While I do enjoy having visitors, I don't want them here at this time of day or unannounced, for that matter. So, if you would be so kind, tell me who you are and what brought you to my office.", the diminutive charms professor said, while holding his wand under his desk, ready to strike if necessary.
The woman looked at him for a moment, weighing her options. "My name is Reyna and this is my son Raven. We have come to this world seeking shelter and protection for the newborn we have with us.", she said and revealed the baby she was holding in her arms, it didn't look like a newborn however, to Filius the baby appeared to be about as old as Harry, Lily and James' son.
Reyna and Raven seemed to be surprised by the child's appearance as well. "He looks older than before, Mother.", Raven said and Reyna nodded. "Maybe the strong magic inside the portal forced him to age a bit." They turned their attention back to Filius who waved his wand and two chairs appeared. "Please, have a seat. I believe you mean no harm, but I'd like to know more about the child and your world.", he said and they talked for quite some time.
Finally, after nearly an hour, Filius stood up. "I think this is enough for now. Tomorrow I will introduce you to the headmaster, I'm sure that he will be able to help you. But for now, we should all retire for the night. Twinkie!" At his call, a house elf appeared. The elf bowed low in front of the charms master. "What can Twinkie do for master?" "Take Reyna and Raven to the guest quarters and bring them everything they need. Tomorrow, you will bring them breakfast and inform me when they've woken." He turned to Reyna. "If you need anything, call out for Twinkie and he will appear. I will see you tomorrow." With that, Twinkie held on to Reyna and Raven and with a loud crack, they disaperated.

-Of Power, Wisdom and Courage-

The morning came way too soon for Filius and after having a house elf bring him a small breakfast, he went to the headmasters office. Dumbledore was surprised when Filius came to his office this early in the morning, but he let him in nonetheless. The longer they talked however, the more his smile disappeared."Do you believe what they've told you?", he asked after processing the information for a moment.
"They story seems surreal, but I believe them. What they did was quite noble, sacrificing their own happiness and forsaking their family, just to ensure that the boy isn't forced to become a dark lord." He shook his head. "To think that someone would force that upon a child, it's cruel." Dumbledore nodded. "If you trust them, then I will give them a chance. I also hope, that they will support our efforts against Voldemort, as we need all the help we can get. If they really are from another world, then their insights into magic would be very intriguing."A crack was heard and Twinkie appeared in the office. "Master Beardy, Master Flittle, the guests have woken up." "Good, once they've finished breakfast, you can bring them to us.", Filius said and 15 minutes later, they were all sitting in Dumbledore's office.
"Now then, Filius has told me what he knows of you, Mrs Dragmire, and I must say that I am impressed by what you have done to ensure young Ganondorf's safety, however I am concerned about the magic you used to get here. If it where to fall into the wrong hands, the outcome would be disastrous." "And what do you expect us to do? We won't give the secret of how to create these portals to anyone.", Raven replied and he wanted to say more, but his mother gave him a disapproving look and he stayed quiet. "What my son meant to say, is whether we tell anyone what spells one has to cast for the ritual or what ingredients are needed, is up to us. In time you my earn our trust, but until then, we will only reveal what's necessary.", Reyna added.
"I will respect your wish, Reyna, but please be aware that there are those I have to take care of. My students, the members of the Order, they all depend on me and I have to keep them safe." He looked at both of them through his glasses, before he continued. "I need to know if Ganondorf is going to be dangerous to those around him, if he is not, I would be ready to live here at the school and, once he turns eleven, attend it." "Why should he attend this school?", Reyna asked. "There is a book here in my office, enchanted by one of the founders herself. Whenever a magical child is born, his or her name is automaticly written down. I check it every morning and this morning I saw Ganondorf's name in it. The school accepted him, but as headmaster I decide if I allow him to attend or not.", Dumbledore replied. "And here would learn how to use magic?", Raven asked. "Not only how to use, but to control it as well." "And the tuition?" Dumbledore thought for a moment. "Attending Hogwarts is expensive, however I think we can help each other." He put his fingers together. "Magical Britain is at war. A dark lord is trying to take over and advance his dark, twisted ambitions. If you help us in our fight, we will help you." Reyna and Raven looked at each needed the help. This world was completely unknown to them and if there really was a dark lord at large, stopping him was vital to their missions success. "Alright, Dumbledore, we will join your fight. But we need to know everything you can tell us about this dark lord." A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face. "Splendid! Filius can tell you everything you need to know and introduce you to the other staff members, as I have important business to turn to, an interview for a new divination teacher." With those words, he left them and Reyna turned to look at Filius. "Is he always like that?" Filius gave a wry smile. "Yes, he is brilliant, but like all great minds, he tends to act strangely sometimes."
