Chapter 8
Annabeth's POV
She headed towards the Dumbledore's office. On the way there, she was thinking about her night here. It was...calm. Peaceful. Which is probably bad sign for demigods. It was like a calm before storm. Even tho she had no idea what that storm would be.
Another thing that was troubling her mind was Harry. She needed explanation. What exactly happened on that night? Probably, Voldemort would have tried to kill Harry. She couldnt point out exactly why, but if she was Voldemort, she would probably want to finish her job. But if Voldemort tried to kill Harry, how is he alive? From what she heard, Voldemort killed bunch of witches and wizards with no difficulty. Why cant he kill a baby?
"Annabeth!" Percy grabbed her. Annabeth snapped back into the reality. She immediately took few steps back and saw that she almost ran into a wall. Would have been embarrassing if she did.
Together, they knocked at Dumbledore's office. Harry gently knocked while Percy looked as if he was trying to break into his room.
"Come in" they heard Dumbledore's voice. When they came in, Dumbledore was sitting in there, still smiling."Sit, sit" he warmly said. The moment they sat down, Harry asked "I need more explanation about Voldemort and my parents, sir". Dumbledore sadly shook his head. "I am afraid you are too young to acknowledge this, Harry" he gently replied. Harry opened his mouth but Dumbledore shot him a look, clearly saying "No". Harry closed his mouth.
"Now" he looked towards Percy and her. "I am guessing you guys will want to ask some questions, dont you?" he asked. Annabeth nodded. "How do we go back?" she asked. Percy nodded alongside. Dumbledore sighed. "Thats little...complicated" he said, while pulling out a thick book. "I was looking for some information last night" he explained. "And as you can see..." he flipped through a few pages. "This may help you guys" he pointed at something. Annabeth bent forward to see what it was. "Hematuate" she read. "Yes. Its a unknown spell. Very ancient. But there are gew records of someone who tried using it before. Look". He muttered "Accio" and some journal came flying into his hand. He handed it to Annabeth, who was dying to know more.
I have founded a new spell, which is named "Hematuate" . This is really unique spell that consists of many strong wizards and witches. From my researches, those wizards and witches who are casting this spell must have close bond with the people who are trying to travel between the dimensions. I do not know exactly how but they must have some sort of connection between them. Not just any strong wizards and witches. This spell is ancient and not that many people know it, which makes it more difficult to understand and demonstrate. The people who are trying to travel between dimensions must be excellent at magic,too.
We finally learned all the secrets! Tomorrow is the D-day. Fortunately, we will succeed.
"What happened to the rest of it?" Percy asked. "Burnt" Dumbledore replied. "It was like that when i found it" he added, seeing suspicious look on Percy's face. "Wait" Annabeth gasped. "The people who are trying to travel between dimensions must be excellent at magic" she read. Harru furrowed his eyebrows. "Does that mean..." he looked at them. "You guys must learn magic, too?"
