Chapter 12
"YOUR WHAT!" everyone but Sirius and Remus cried out in shock.
"But you can't leave the school!" Godric cried out, "We need you! You're our Potions Master, the head of Slytherin!"
"And I need my mate," Salazar said as he slammed his hand down on the table, "Just what do you all think is going to happen to me when you send my mate back to the future?"
Silence washed over the room, no one looked at Salazar, all suddenly finding the table a lot more interesting.
"And that's my point," Salazar said with a sigh as he sat back down in his chair, "When my mate leaves I'll be going with him.
"WAIT!" Remus cried suddenly with a large grin, "That's why Salazar disappeared in the first place! He didn't go because of the muggleborns and halfbloods but instead he wanted to be with his mate."
"But Salazar was too strong to admit it," Helga said with a smirk, "So he made up having an argument with Godric then left the school, most likely leaving rumours and stories about what he had left behind and just what he had done."
"Your good," Sirius said with a chuckle, "You've hit the nail on the head."
"Then how are we going to get Salazar into the future?" Rowena asked, "I mean the robes we have for our students don't have the same spell on the crest."
"The same way we'll get the teachers and ourselves back to the future," Remus said with a playful smirk, "But having our hands on one of the student's shoulders when the spell activates."
"Ah! Like you apparation with someone else!" Godric said in understanding,
"But how will we do all of this?" Salazar said with a frown, "It's not like we can just go up to Dumbledore and say 'oh hello, I'll be tying you up and sending you back to the future dressed like a pink chicken' now can we?"
"You know…" Sirius said as he shared a look with Remus, "That isn't half bad."
Salazar groaned into his hands, "You two really are pranksters. Can you at least think of how you're going to get into Lord Markus base? How you're going to active the Gryffindor's crests?"
"The spell allows us to only have to use one student," Rowena supplied as she read from the book, "If we make sure that at least one teacher is touching one student then we'll be fine through I'm not sure just how we're going to deal with Dumbledore…"
"No staff has gone with the old goat and the lions," Godric said thoughtfully, "So we'll send them back to the future first, and if you're right then at the same moment that we send the teachers and students back to the future the future Gryffindor students will follow only…what about Dumbledore?"
"That is tricky," Remus replied as he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "We could always take one of the student's robes and make sure Dumbledore's has it around him. It'll take him back to the future."
"But what about the student who doesn't have a robe anymore?" Helga questioned.
"They'll be going with a friend who doesn't have a teacher with them," Sirius said with a hum, "What about us? What about Harry and Salazar?"
"If what you both said is true then Sirius and Remus could be taken by a student while Harry and Salazar could go with another student," Rowena said logically, "So we have everything worked out expect how are we going to get Dumbledore to wear one of the student robes?"
Sirius gave them a cheeky grin, "Oh don't you worry, leave that to me. Just give me some Weasley Twin products and a student's robes."
"You old dog," Remus said with a laugh, "We'll need to work out some way of knowing when to active the crests if we're they're sending everyone back at the same time."
"I'm sorry, "Rowena said, "But it's one of the down sides to the spell."
"It's fine Rowena," Sirius said with a grin, "We'll just do it at midnight when Dumledore is most likely to be sleeping."
"I like it," Salazar said thoughtfully, "You go in, you do what you need to do without anyone knowing, and then you get out of there."
"Well set the time to 1am," Remus said as he thought about it, "That way if you have any problems you'll have a few minutes to sort them out."
"I'll go tonight," Sirius said with a determined look, "Please don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be here and all but-"
"But you just want all of this dealt with and over with," Helga finished with a soft smile.
Sirius gave a stiff nod of his head.
"I hope I'm not overstepping my mark by suggesting this," Godric said as he looked at everyone carefully, "But how do you feel about leaving Harry and Salazar here with us? Of course you'll leave behind a crest that they can use to return to you but…"
Sirius took a deep breath and thought for a few moments, "As much as I hate to leave my Godson behind I can see your point, in this time he has other Potter's to show him how to deal with being part Phoenix. He has people of his own blood to help support him and to give him answers to questions that he might have…yeah I think it's for the best."
Remus stood up and gave Sirius a comforting hug, "When did you mature? Where's the Sirius Black that used to play pranks huh?"
Sirius gave a dry chuckle, "Well he'll be making an appearance in Dumbledore's bedroom. Tonight Dumbledore gets a makeover! Old Goat is gone, hello pink chicken!"
To Be Continued…
Just to let you all know that the fic is coming to an end and I've got it all planned out but it might be a bit hard to follow as there'll be a few jumps between the two sides. I'll try my best through!
