Chapter 2.

After their long flight with their broomsticks as quick as they could take them, Crystal, Brian and Juliet landed in London where in some neighborhoods were still asleep and were just about to wake up to do their daily routine and going to work. Brian, his wife and their daughter looked around and he noticed when he saw some light that the sun was about to rise over the horizon. "Alright, we need to get to Diagon Alley and to Hogsmeade where father is at." He said as they agreed before they held their hands together and held tight to their broomsticks. They apparated out of thin air into the early morning sky in England. There was a five hour difference in between the US and Europe. (I bet that took some hours to fly over seas with their broom sticks.)

The family appeared at the Leaky Cauldron and they walked inside. After the family walked in with their broomsticks in their hands, Tom from behind the counter saw a married couple and their daughter coming through across the wooden floor. "Well, bless my soul. You three came here around this time in the early morning before the whole city of London waking up." Tom the Innkeeper said with a smile on his face. Then, Tom looked at Brian with furrowed eyebrows with trying to remembering someone. "Have I seen you here before, my dear boy?" He asked him as he wondered about the man and his family right in front of him.

Juliet and Crystal looked at the Innkeeper with puzzlement as Brian grinned at him. Crystal had never met Tom since she was an exchange student at Hogwarts. Brian remembered him when he was in his last year days at Hogwarts. Aberforth was at the Leaky Cauldron to meet him for something to eat and drink some butter beer. "You might have been, Tom." He sighed softly. "It's been years since I last saw you here with my father, Aberforth Dumbledore in my last year at Hogwarts. Before I moved on with my life and being with my family. " Brian gestured Tom to Crystal and Juliet. At his words, a waitress shot her head up when she looked at the family.

Tom's eyes went wide as saucers. The Innkeeper was very surprised that Brian Dumbledore was standing right in front of him all grown up. "Brian Dumbledore, it has been many years since I last saw you before you went off with your adventures." Brian had always been an adventurous boy since he was a student at school." He said. The Innkeeper slowly walked around the counter. Tom was older than everyone had thought he would be. Brian gave him a genuine smile before he gave the Innkeeper a gentle bear hug and gave some soft pats on their backs as they embraced each other in greeting. "It is very good to see you here again, Brian." Tom said cheerfully when he smiled warmly at him. They have not seen each other in ages since then.

After their heart warming greetings, Brian and his family walked through the Leaky Cauldron to get to the big fire place. They flooed through there to Hogsmeade to see Aberforth. At the Dumbledore residence, Aberforth was reading the Daily Prophet when suddenly, he heard the green flames come to life. His eyes widened as he saw the fire. "What in Merlin's name is coming here at this time of morning so early?" Aberforth growled. He stared at his only son, who was with his wife and daughter with him. "Brian?" He whispered with emotion and his smile on his face.

Crystal and Juliet watched with loving smiles as Brian stepped towards Aberforth. "Father." Brian whispered to him before father and son wrapped in each other's arms. They had tears of joy streaming down their faces. Aberforth looked older than he thought since the second wizarding war. They were in hiding for years, living in Salem. Aberforth pulled back from father and son embrace and he saw his Grand daughter and her mother with a joyful. Aberforth held his arm out for them and then the whole family hugged each other tightly. They were very happy to see one another again as a family. Now they came back from hiding in the states.

The Dumbledore's had their breakfast and hed their cups of tea and Aberforth looked up at his son. "Brian, just so you know that Minerva McGonagall is looking for a professor to teach Charms since Filius Flitwick retired after the war was over. And Severus Snape is still the Headmaster of Hogwarts over there." He asked him. Crystal and Juliet were in the kitchen, washing and drying the dishes.

Brian nodded in agreement. He sighed softly and he looked at Aberforth square in the eyes. "Yes, father, I was thinking on doing some teaching the Charms class. It was one of my favorite classes at Hogwarts. I will need to speak to Minerva on this offer." Brian said with a grin.

Aberforth laughed softly. And then, he became serious. "I'm very glad that you would do that and do speak to both Severus and Minerva about getting you the Charms job there." He said and he paused for a moment. "I went to Hogwarts and saw Severus there." At his words, Brian's eyebrows raised. "I spoke to Albus' portrait last week and he wants Juliet to go on a mission to some where." He stated with seriousness. Juliet had her eyebrows furrowed with confusion at what her Grandfather was saying about her going on a mission. Crystal, Juliet, Aberforth and Brian spoke their conversation of their plans for the day before they took off to Hogwarts.

After they got to Hogwarts, Argus Filch and Mrs. Norris was there at the gate, cleaning up the leaves to make the school grounds look really good for the grass to grow and the flowers to grow out of the ground. Mrs. Norris, the cat was swinging her tail about in looked up from raking the leaves. "Halt, who goes there who ever you are out there?" He asked with a growl. Filch was always been grouchy most of the time. But when he saw who it was, the look on his face was shock. Brian, Juliet and Crystal stood with determined looks on their faces as Aberforth stood with his family with his arms across his chest and his eyebrows rose up to his hair line. "Oh! I'm so sorry, Mr. Dumbledore. I did not realize who you were at first." Argus bent over to lift up his cat into his arms before he opened the gates of Hogwarts. The family walked through as they headed up to the castle.
