Chapter 26
(Sorry it took so long to update. School's been keeping me busy.)
The band ran down the grand stair case, a familiar Other was in sight. "Harry!" Soren called, "Hey Harry!"
Harry turned around and Soren almost stopped dead in his tracks. Harry looked angry. Really angry. "What?" Harry asked, sounding irritated too.
Soren wasn't afraid of him though. "Well, we agreed I'd explain some of the strange things I do, once I had proof. And now, I have that proof."
Harry's anger seemed to fade, at least a bit. "Alright. Let's hear it."
Soren nodded. "The first thing you should know, is that we're not really Others."
"Others?" Harry asked.
Soren waved a dismissive hand. "Wait for me to finish." He said. Then he continued. "Second thing, is that we're not from this time." Then Soren continued to, in as short of a way as possible, tell their story. He told about the Pure Ones, and the Ga'Hoole tree, and the many kingdoms. Occasionally, the other four would input something.
When he was finished Harry was, well, Soren wasn't really sure. He definetly wasn't as mad as before, but he didn't' seem happy either. He's skeptical. Soren thought.
"You're right." Harry told him. "I don't believe you at all. You're a complete nut."
He turned away and was about to start his sulking walk down. Then Soren spoke again. "I didn't think you would. And that's why we have proof."
Harry turned around. "Proof I have to see."
"Alright everyone, ready?" Soren asked, opening his potion.
"We were ready before you were." Gylfie pointed out.
So they all opened their potions and drank. Soren felt the same sensation as when he'd turned into an Other and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes he was an owl again.
"Yes!" Twilight shouted. Harry shouted something too, but now that they were owls again, they couldn't understand what it was.
"We should go." Soren said. The five took to the sky and flew towards the nearest window. But before they left, Soren turned around and gave Harry a wave with his wing. Harry gave a dazed wave back.
