Chapter 4

"Ugh. My head hurts." Ginny slowly opened her eyes when she heard Harry complain next to her.

"Mine too. You still got the letter?"

"Yeah-huh. Come on. Let's get to Dumbledore's office."

"Um, Harry? I've been meaning to ask you, do you actually know where his office is?"

"Hmm…no. I was actually hoping you would."

"Sorry, no."

"Crud." Just then the curtain surrounding the two beds, opened and a tall, bespectacled man, with a long white beard stepped through.

"I believe I can be of some assistance?" Ginny looked up surprised.

"That would be great Professor." Harry smiled.

"Madam Pomfrey and Mrs. Weasley are both conveniently distracted at this time, so I believe now would be best to make our daring escape. Follow me please." Dumbledore turned and walked quickly towards the exit, with Harry and Ginny following closely behind.

They walked down several hallways, and went up a few flights of stairs, before coming to a halt in front of a large gargoyle. Dumbledore stood silently for a moment, as if thinking, before smiling triumphantly.

"Lemon Drops." He said, and the gargoyle sprang to life and moved to the side.

Dumbledore, Harry, and Ginny climbed onto the winding staircase, and rode it up to Dumbledore's office. He opened the door, and stepped into the room, with Harry, and Ginny trailing in behind him.

Dumbledore took a seat in his large, throne like chair, behind his desk. Harry and Ginny sat on small, squashy chairs facing Dumbledore, while he rummaged around in his desk for a few moments, before pulling out a large bag of sweets.

"Lemon Drop?" He offered.

"No thank you."

"No thanks." Dumbledore shrugged almost imperceptively before popping a small yellow candy into his mouth, and setting the bag back in the desk.

"Now, would either of you care to explain to me what happened at the train station, if you can?" Dumbledore asked curiously. Ginny silently handed him the letter, which Dumbledore read quickly.

When he had finished, he looked up at the two children, his eyes twinkling madly. Harry and Ginny shifted uncomfortably under his piercing gaze.

"Mipsy." He said, rather loudly to the air, and a small house-elf appeared with a small clap of displaced air. Dumbledore whispered instructions to it, and then it bowed and disappeared with another small clap.

"May I see the rings?" Harry and Ginny held out their hands, and Dumbledore examined them, his eyebrows going high into his hairline, before nodding slightly.

"Alright, that seems to be in order. The letter that was given to me had explicit instructions that it seems must be followed to the letter. Now, although I know that it should be your first year at Hogwarts, Mr. Potter, it seems first we must complete a task. You both have the capability to pick up on spells extremely quickly, which has grown due to the bond you both share, so you will be able to miss classes for the time this task will take." Harry and Ginny looked perplexedly at Dumbledore.

"What task do you mean? And why would we miss class?" Harry asked confused.

"Well, normally with soul bonds, the two recipients of the bond take about a month, and go through and view the first years of each other's lives up to the time that they met, in order to fully get to know that person. However, since you both are so young, and the circumstances surrounding the two of you so odd, you will instead be transformed into children, of about 3 after viewing up to that point, and over small period of time, will go through and live with each other from that point until you return to the normal age of eleven. You will take up residence with Mrs. Weasley, for this time period, and I and Madam Pomfrey will be making check-ups on you both every so often." The two children stared at him in shock.

"Also, Mr. Potter, I have had the pleasure of contacting one of your father's school friends, and am in the process of contacting another, and they will come to live with you both as well. Expenses shall be taken care of by the Potter family vault, as it pertains to both of yours survival, and you are both officially Potters. That is, if you don't mind Harry?" Harry jumped at being addressed by his first name, before nodding.

"No, that's fine. There's plenty to go around." Dumbledore smiled kindly at him.

"I thought that would be your answer. Now, you will both will be sorted tonight, at the feast, after we get you a wand first my dear, of course." He said gesturing to Ginny. "And then you both will come up here, to get reacquainted with your guardians. Tommorrow we will begin the memory viewing, and by the end of the week everything should be set up for your transformations. Any questions?" Harry and Ginny shook their heads, dumbstruck. This was definitely something that Fate had failed to mention. "Oh, and of course, Mr. Potter, if you don't mind, Myself, and your father's friend would both like to accompany the two of you into your first memory, because if it holds the evidence that I believe it does, then it could be the key to saving an innocent life."

"Of course sir. If it's really that important." Dumbledore smiled.

"Good. Now why don't you both head down to the Entrance Hall. There you will meet the Transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonnagal. I shall probably bring her by for a visit when you are younger, Mr. Potter, because she was very fond of your parents, and you. I advise that you ask her about the Marauders while your down there. She will very much enjoy telling you all about them." Dumbledore winked, his eyes twinkling madly. Harry frowned slightly.

"Marauders…that sounds familiar. Who were they?" Dumbledore smiled sadly.

"It was a club of pranksters here at school. Your father, two of his friends, and one of his ex-friends terrorized the school with their ingenius pranks."

"Ex-friend?" Dumbledore frowned.

"You are aware of how your parents died I assume?"

"Yes. Hagrid told me."

"Well, one of their friends betrayed them to Voldermort, however we are unclear as to whom. There is a man in prison for the crime, and one supposed dead, but somehow the facts don't exactly add up. That is partially the reason that I wish to view one specific memory of yours."

"Professor, if you don't mind, could you maybe do it now? I mean, the sooner we get the facts, the sooner we find out if there is an innocent man in prison yes?" Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright Harry. Hold still." Dumbledore pointed his wand at Harry and said a quick spell. A small, yellow beam of light shot directly at Harry's scar, before the room flashed a brilliant white, and faded into the past.
