I do not in any way own that which is the wonderful world of Harry Potter or the world of Charmed. Those belong to J.K. Rowling and the WB. I am just having Fun with a place they created for us.
Chapter 16
An Interview and Harry?
Hogwarts School
It was mid-afternoon at the school for young witches and wizards; the sun was shining half hidden behind some clouds giving shade to much of the grounds. The castles occupants were in their respective classrooms preparing their lesson plans for the coming year. However in this school of magic one of its occupants was having more of a difficult time than the others. This person was none other than Albus Dumbledore.
While he did not have to prepare any lesson plans he did have to conduct interviews for a position that needed to be filled. It was not that he minded doing these interviews; it was just that he already had the perfect person in mind for the job. But the person he had wanted to fill this position was no longer available; in fact he was no longer living.
Sighing, the aged professor looked back up into the eyes of the person sitting in front of him. "It says here that you were once and currently are under the employ of the Unspeakable's" Albus Dumbledore commented.
"Yes I am" the prospective professor started "I help out the head of the department when I can, though I am not an Unspeakable"
Dumbledore nodded as he looked again at the resume. It would be quite handy to have an un-official Unspeakable in the employ of Hogwarts. Not to mention the amount of knowledge that this person knew and could pass onto his students. Looking once again to the man in front of him he said. "I would love to bring you on as a full-time staff member of this school…"
"I do not mean to interrupt sir" the soon to be professor said "but before you offer me this position I would like you to know that I am still under the employ of the Unspeakables; or rather the head of said department, and should he feel the need to call me in, I am unable to ignore his summons"
Albus sat there for a moment and took in the words of his; almost new professor. "I think that is acceptable; however there is one thing I need to ask of you before I can officially offer you this position" The Headmaster said.
"And what would that be sir?" the figure asked
"I need you to pull back the sleeve on your left arm" Dumbledore said
The new professor just stared at the Headmaster for a moment before complying with his request. When he had pulled back his sleeve the Headmaster stood and took out his wand and did a series of complicated wand movements that would have shown if he had been using a concealing spell. When his test did not reveal anything he looked to the man; who had a smug look on his face and said.
"As the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I would like to welcome you to the staff here"
"Thank you sir, now if it's alright with you I would like to go on ahead to my quarters" The man said as he stood and shook hands with Dumbledore.
"Yes, of course if you would head down the staircase I will call a house elf to escort you there" The Headmaster replied
Smiling to the aged professor he turned the handle and opened the door leading to the staircase. As soon as the door shut behind him Albus Dumbledore sat back down at his desk and removed his glasses and started to massage his temples. And just as he was reaching a state of calmness there was a gush of wind that blew the papers from his desk and onto the floor.
Sighing for the second time that day, he drew his wand and did a quick summoning spell and all the papers that had flown off his desk were now back in their proper place. And so he returned to the rubbing of his temples not noticing the figure that had just appeared.
"Sir?" asked the figure
The Headmasters promptly stopped massaging his temples and looked at the person who had just appeared in his office. "Harry?"
"Um, sir what am I doing here?" Harry asked
"That is what I was hoping you could tell me my boy" The Headmaster replied getting up from his chair.
"Well if it helps sir, I have no idea how I got here but I do know that I need to back" Harry said making his way to the door that led to the spiral staircase. But as he made to open the door he felt a cold wind rush by him and the next thing he knew, the door was locked. Turning back to the Headmaster Harry said "Sir I really should be getting back, there are people who will be worried looking for me"
"I'm sorry Harry but you must stay where it is safe, I will call the Weasleys and they will be here momentarily" Professor Dumbledore said as he made his way to the fireplace
"Sir I will not be going; even if I have to fly back, I will" Harry said
"I wish I did not have to do this Harry but you leave me no choice, you need to be protected" Dumbledore said as he made to grab his wand.
Harry blanched at seeing the Headmaster go for his wand; he really did not think that the leader of the light would resort to such measures. But his thoughts were cut off, not by a spell but by a weird feeling. He had never felt anything like it before, it was warm and he could swear that he had heard something or even someone calling out to him.
Just as Albus Dumbledore was about to cast a spell that would render Harry unconscious; a swirl of white lights appeared and started to move around the confused boy that was Harry Potter. Being just as confused as Harry, Albus Dumbledore started to lower his wand. Then the unexpected started to happen, the form of Harry Potter started to fade, at seeing this Dumbledore raised his wand in a matter of seconds hoping to catch the boy.
"Harry I must ask you to stop this at once" The headmaster said
"Sir I'm not doing this" came Harry's distant reply
Seeing that he was about to lose the boy, a thought found its way into the Headmasters mind 'He is still solid enough that I can still get a stunning spell in' and so with a flourish of his wand and a quickly spoken "Stupefy" he attempted to subdue the ever disappearing form of the Boy Who Lived.
However it did not work as he had hoped; for while he had gotten the spell off, and while it had connected with the Potter boy, it still did not have the desired effect; causing the wizened Headmaster to be surprised and confused for a fraction of a second before he would promptly pass out. But not before he heard the scream that came from the vanishing form that was Harry Potter.
A/N: Ok this is another interim chapter. But the next chapter is written and ready to be posted. I do hope you liked this chapter. And you will soon find out who this new professor is later. Or rather their name.
Ok so please as always Read and Review.
Thank you
