A/N: I am on a roll with these rewrites, but now I have to write Ed's prologue from scratch. . . . *Sigh* Well enjoy.
Disclaimer: I repeat FANfiction, I do not own this!
Artemis Fowl II- Fowl Manor, Ireland.
"Butler?" Artemis called to his lifelong bodyguard.
"Yes Artemis?" The giant of a man responded
"Do you see that owl perched on the window sill?"
The taller man looked over.
"I do." Butler went to inspect the bird while Artemis rung up his mother on his cell phone.
"Mother?" Artemis said immediately, once she picked up.
"Arty, I thought I told you to call me Mum," Angeline Fowl reminded him.
"Mother, I have no time for this."
"What do you mean Arty?" In a heartbeat, she asked, "Is there an owl at the house?"
Artemis blinked in surprise; he hadn't guessed his mother would have known about the avian.
"There is, in fact."
"Stay where you are, I'm coming."
After an hour and a half, Angeline's car pulled up. The aforementioned woman, bursting out of the car before the chauffeur could even get out of the car.
Artemis could hear both the car door and the front door slam even from his bedroom on the third floor.
Angeline burst into his room, and seized a letter from the owl.
She quickly looked it over.
"Arty!" Angeline squealed with delight, clutching the letter close in one hand. "You're a wizard just like your father! I'm so proud of you, I can't wait to tell your father!"
"Mother, what is going on?" Artemis asked with great patience. Angeline sat down on Artemis' bed, pulling her son down next to her.
"Arty, you're a wizard. Shush," she said, cutting off his protests before he could speak. "Your father is too. I know because I'm a witch and we met at Hogwarts, a school where they teach magic to people like us."
Artemis scrutinized his mother's face carefully. There was no hint of a lie, her expression calm and speaking of open honesty, despite the absurdity of the situation.
"Alright Mother, I believe you," he heard himself say. He would reserve his judgments until he had further proof of the situation's integrity.
"There's more you should know. When your father first attended the school, he used a pseudonym. The Fowls had some enemies' sons and daughters at the school, and your grandfather didn't want them to target the family through your father.
When we married, he told me the truth, and I changed my last name to Potter to keep up the act. A dark wizard came not long after you were born and we were forced to leave your brothers behind at the house."
"Brothers?" He said, surprising himself, along with Butler, with the tone he had took
"Yes, some close friends of ours are watching over them now. But we came to your grandfather's manor and I changed our last name to Fowl, and my first to Angeline from Lily."
"I see," Artemis said, deep in thought.
"Does that sum it up for you?" Angeline asked, needing to know if she could go call his father.
"Enough for me to figure it out, Mother."
"That's not saying a lot."
"I know, Mother," Artemis said, giving her his trademark vampire smile.
A/N: Yep, again, I actually am quite proud of how little rewriting these need. Please review and do my poll. Ja ne!
Yuki.
