Three hours later, 'greeneyedbolt' finally signed in.
hiddengenius: Hello, Mr Potter-Snape.
Greeneyedbolt: -snickers- Hey. May I assume that you've talked to Hermione and a few others.
Hiddengenius: Yes, that would be an accurate assumption.
Greeneyedbolt: So, what have they told you?
Hiddengenius: A lot, Mr Boy-Who-Lived. Though, they haven't been able to tell me about how Voldemort was defeated, nor could they give a satisfactory tell me why you left four months ago.
Greeneyedbolt: -sighs- Voldemort's defeat is classified information that only I can tell anyone since the Ministry, Order, and remaining Death Eaters were forced to take an Oath, which bound their magic to keeping the secret. Only I can tell. As to why I left...well...that's complicated and explains why I left four months ago when Sev was arrested five.
Hiddengenius: Can we have a meeting somewhere?
Greeneyedbolt: I can come to your manor. Also, can you contact your...Short friend? I want to talk to her and introduce her to a friend of mine.
Hiddengenius: No promises on my friend, but by all means, bring yours.
Greeneyedbolt: Fine. An hour?
Hiddengenius: Two. It will be nice to meet you face to face.
Greeneyedbolt: Until then.
-greeneyedbolt has signed off-
Artemis quickly called up Holly.
"Artemis, we have talk too much in the past couple days...what's wrong now?"
"Well, it's not that something is wrong, per say..." Artemis trailed off. "What do you know about a Mr Potter-Snape?"
"His school years, mainly. Foaly is still trying to get everything about him, but it's tricky. He's more secretive then you were, and there are no computer files to hack into," Holly answered.
"But, you must know something about his character from his school years?"
Holly sighed. "He's probably one of the only other magic users we would consider talking to. He freed one house-elf many years ago that had been abused. When Voldemort was beaten three years ago, he started poking around old magic theory books and probably came across the origins of house-elves. That's pretty much where all information ends on Harry Potter...wait, did you say Snape?"
"Yeah, his friends were shocked to find out that Harry had bonded to his Potions Professor who apparently took part in a mutual hatred. Would you like to meet Harry and one of his friends?" Artemis asked.
"When are you meeting him?"
"In about an hour and thirty minutes. Oh, and can you tell me anything more about Severus Snape?"
"Other then what his Godson and those who were on his side have told you? No. Harry Potter-Snape would be the only one besides Severus Snape who would be able to tell us anything more. And, I will come. It will be interesting. Talking with people who can See is always interesting."
"I'll expect you within the hour? Should I invite Minerva?"
"That would be a fun meeting. Five stubborn people if what Foaly's found is true, six depending on who Harry brings."
"It shall, though I don't think it's a Wizard friend. I think they're honest when they say they haven't seen him. See you in a while." And Artemis hung up to quickly call Minerva. She picked up on the second ring.
"Hello, Arty. What interesting puzzle do you have today?" she asked.
Artemis sighed. No matter how many times he asked, she insisted on that nickname. "What would you say if I told you witches and wizards were real?"
"I would say 'Where's your proof?"
"Get here for eight o'clock and I'll give you proof."
Minerva considered for a moment. "All right, count me in. There's bound to be something interesting to show or you wouldn't have said anything. I just happen to be in Ireland at the moment and was considering stopping to say 'hello' to all of you. I'll be there around quarter of seven."
Artemis blinked in surprise as the phone connection cut off. "Why is she so close now?" Looking at the clock, he sighed before getting out his walkie-talkie. "Butler, Juliet. We need to prepare four rooms for guests. I have a feeling this will be a long night. I'm going to go help Diana and Daniel with their homework, then Minerva will probably join us for supper. The twins should be reading and getting ready for bed by the time Holly gets here. Juliet, will you watch a movie with the twins? Just until they fall asleep?"
"Sure. Just tell me what happens during the meeting. This Harry Potter-Snape is a toss up between impressive and not. After all, who knows what he did to defeat that Voldemort. It could have been anything. He could have just posioned the guy."
"Don't judge a book by it's cover, Juliet. Or do you forget, the fairies have technology and guts that surpass most people above ground and most are two feet shorter then me or Artemis. Not to mention, Artemis caused many missions to fail led by masterminds before he was fifteen?" Butler said over the walkie talkies.
Artemis smirked, on his way to his brother and sister's room. "Don't forget foiling another child genius and rescuing a family of fairies."
"Ah, yes. Can't forget them," Butler said, rolling his eyes.
Smirking, Artemis continued on his path. Some people would be wondering why Artemis was taking care of his siblings and where Angeline and Artemis Fowl Senior were. Three years ago after returning the demons back to the present dimension, some rogue demons, goblins, and other fairies kidnapped the other Fowl's leaving Artemis behind. When Artemis, Holly, Butler, and Juliet finally found the four, the rogues tried to kill all of their hostages, but Angeline and Artemis I had jumped in front of Diana and Daniel to protect them. Their sacrifice was just enough of a delay to prevent the twins from dying as well. The will of the Fowl's found custody going to Artemis, who was really only eighteen at the time, but legally twenty one.
Now, over a year later, things had calmed down drastically with Juliet watching the twins most of the time having retired from her wrestling career.
As Artemis walked into the room, he saw two little children with their heads bent over a computer screen, talking with someone. Clearing his throat, Artemis was rewarded with two nearly identical dark heads with wide, blue eyes popping up.
"Arty!" they cried, running over and latching onto their brother's legs.
"Hello. Who are you talking to?"
Both kids pointed to the screen. "He told us to call him Evan. He's really nice," Diana answered, being the more outspoken of the twins.
Looking at the screen, Artemis saw Evan's face. There was a young man with a pretty face, black hair, green eyes, and...a lightning bolt scar.
"Harry?" Artemis asked, surprised.
"His name's not Harry, it's Evan," Daniel stated indignantly.
Harry, or 'Evan,' winked. "Well, Di, Dan, looks like it's time to go. Good luck on your tests. Artemis, I'll see you in...an hour and a half. I'll enjoy meeting Minerva." And his face disappeared leaving Artemis to blink at a blank screen.
Both kids looked up to a shocked Artemis. "You know Evan, too?"
"Not well. Behave, and you can meet him soon. How long have you been talking to him?"
"For a while, since...last year," Diana said, quietly. Both twins had returned to normal since the events from last year, but both kept from bringing it up often.
"So he's the...counselor you two were talking to," Artemis mused, pulling the two towards the front door as they just heard the doorbell ring, taking the long way to the dining room.
"He told us it was all right to feel bad and be sad, but it wasn't all right to stop living out lives and that we should do out best to live for them. And to never give up," Daniel said quietly.
"He's absolutely right. Mom and dad would want us to continue to do our best, but no forget them. Did you know Harry...or Evan...lost both his parents when he was a baby?" Artemis asked.
Diana and Daniel looked at him with their mouths dropped. "No. Who did he live with?" they asked.
Artemis winked, though he didn't feel like it when thinking of Harry's relatives. "Why don't you ask him when you see him tomorrow."
"Okay!" they chirped, running towards the dining room.
Artemis chuckled and went to the door. Tapping a few buttons on the computer next to the door, he found himself seeing Minerva on the front step. Clicking another button, the door opened.
"Good evening, Minerva."
"Good evening, Artemis. You're looking well. How are Di and Dan?"
"I think they're almost back to the way they were a year ago. Until the next earth-shattering event happens, I don't think they'll be changing much outside the normal developments children go through."
"That's good."
"Would you be interested in dinner?" Artemis asked while offering his arm.
"Yes, thank you."
And the Fowl's, Butler's, and Minerva sat to contemplate their meeting with Harry "Evan" Potter-Snape.
