Words of a forgotten father
"I wonder why he'd do that to himself." Quatre ponders. As the conscious pilots discussed the possible reasons for Duo's attempt, a young barn owl perched on the windowsill to watch and wait.
"I think he's just being a coward and a weakling." States Wufei.
"Well I-" starts Quatre. Tap Tap Tap, what is that?" Trowa wonders. Tap Tap Tap, Heero walks over and opens the window.
"… What the hell?"
"What is that?" ask the others. Wufei looks over the wing pilots shoulder, "An owl?"
Quatre starts, "Did you say an owl? Is there a letter attached to his leg?" he asks as he turns around to face them, "Alexander?! Let me guess, my stupid grandfather sent you to deliver his forgotten grandson his damned letter of acceptance to freaking Hogwarts." Heero looks up from the letter he had detached from Alex's leg.
"How did you know?"
"What's it say?" asks the Heavyarms pilot.
Heero reads the letter out loud:
Dear Quatre,
I know you and I have had some disagreements in the past, but I would like to put that behind us. I understand that you and your friends are involved in the war. If you would like to use Hogwarts as a hideout, you may. There is only one catch to this deal, you have to attend my school as students and try to keep the other students from knowing that you five are the Gundam pilots. If you accept, I will however be telling the other teachers, I would like to receive you reply ASAP and if you accept, it is in your best interest to come before September 1st. You should find a list of supplies that you will need. I believe you can fly your gundams over here and just hide them in the lake.
Your grandfather,
Dumbledore
PS: if you accept, I will send Prof. McGonagall along to help you get your things.
"So… should we accept?" a soft voice whispered. Four of the five young men yelped and spun around.
"Duo?! Yes we will probably accept, but first, why did you do it?" states Quatre.
"I didn't want you guys to die." He replies.
"… WHAT'S THAT SOPPOSED TO MEAN?!" they screamed.
"Every one near me dies, so if I go away, you won't die." Duo says in a isn't it obvious voice.
"Well I guess I should tell them we're going." states Wufei.

"Albus, have they answered?" questions McGonagall.
"Yes, I was just about to read it." He opens the black letter and reads it aloud:
Dear grandfather,
You may be a lying git, but I cannot disagree with your reasoning. We will attend your school, but no matter what houses the damned hat sorts us into, we will share our own room. If we don't have our own room, your school will have to put up with blood curling screams every night. If you do hear screams, do Not barge into our room or touch us. If you do touch us,we will react as we have been taught to. In words you simpletons can understand, there is a 99.99 chance you will wind up dead. If any of us have a emotional break down, or some thing of the sort, we will deal with it, not any of your so called healers. If you do not follow these regulations, we will leave and not help if the war comes to you.
Your grandson,
Quatre & friends
McGonagall stares at Dumbledore as he starts laughing.
"… are you okay?" she asks.
"Yes, yes. I'm sorry, I see he's still angry."
"Why is he angry at you?"
"Because I tried to take him back to his father when he first got the Sandrock."
"So… I have to pick these kids up now?"
"Would you please?"

He was trying to out run the darkness that was snatching at his heels. Running to the slowly dying light. You can't run forever, one day you will be ours! With that, the dark shadows lunged and dragged him into their depths.
