A Tale Not Told Before

Uncle Kylo

After dinner everyone began to leave, but as you began to get up, Dumbledore asked you to meet him in his office.
As you followed Dumbledore's through the halls it only just began to sink in. Magic was real. The paintings on the walls moved and spoke, the staircases had a mind of their own and moved as they pleased, doors opened before you and plants sang and danced. This wasn't a dream nor a prank, but this was reality, although, sometimes reality likes to play tricks on us, it likes to transform into our deepest desires and lure us in until we are one hundred percent sure its true and then reality snaps it's fingers and reveals it's fiction. All of our hopes we had made being crushed in the process. You knew this more than anyone, so you were hesitant to believe these amazing things were happening to you. After all you'd been raised to know there was no such thing as magic.

Dumbledore led you to a cracked statue of a phoenix, he mumbled something and the statue began to spin in the air slowly, leaving a trail of stairs behind it. You both stood on the staircase and flew into the air following the statues path until the reached the top, You walked out into the room and looked up, but as you did something flew over her head. A phoenix with fiery red and gold feathers and razor sharp claws. It floated and spun along the tall ceiling, showing off it's beauty before gliding back down onto a wooden perch on Dumbledore's desk.

''Ah, yes, that's my phoenix his name is Fawkes and he's quite the show off.'' Dumbledore explained

''Brilliant!'' You responded with a massive smile while investigating the bird

'' take a seat!'' offered the man while extending out his arm towards a leather seat on the opposite side of his wooden desk and You nodded then sat down, but was unable to keep her eyes off the bird

''he's rather spectacular isn't he?'' asked Dumbledore while unravelling a sherbet lemon

''he's marvellous!''

''well, y/n I suppose I owe you an explanation as to why you are here later then you should have been!'' spoke Dumbledore while struggling to open his sweet

''yes, sir, that would be tremendously appreciated!'' You replied when Dumbledore finally managed to separate his sweet from he wrapper then proceeded to offer You one, you accepted with a thank you

''well it all began when your uncle Kylo Theodus attended Hogwarts and a dark Wizard came to light.'' Informed Dumbledore with a serious tone

''What was his name?'' questioned Cecelia

''his name was Tom Riddle, but he doesn't go by that....''

''well what does he go by?''

Dumbledore was hesitant to answer but eventually he spoke ''Voldemort. You must promise me you'll say his name, y/n. Others will try and persuade you to do other wise, but fear of the name, only increases fear of the thing itself.''

''I will."

''Tom rose to power by pressuring, threatening and manipulating people to follow him, there is a curse named Cruciatus which is one of three unforgivable curses, the use of any three will send you straight to Azkaban prison. Cruciatus causes the victim extreme pain, so much it disables them, it's said to feel like one thousand white-hot knives, boring into the skin. Voldemort would threated and use this curse on anyone who didn't stand with him. Your uncle Kylo made a point of standing against  him, in fact he was part of a group called The Order Of The Phoenix, which swore to defeat Voldemort. Two members of The Order, James and Lily Potter got marked for death and went into hiding to a secretive, unpopulated, tiny town, but that didn't stop Voldemort from tracking them down. He went to their house on Halloween and killed them using another unforgivable curse which kills people instantaneously, there is no spell, no potion, no piece of magic which can bring people back from the dead, but he also used this spell on Lilly and James' one year old baby, Harry, but Harry didn't die. The only damage he was left with in fact was a singular scar in the shape of the wand movement for the curse, a lightening bolt. Nobody knows how he survived, nor why, but Harry Potter is a name you will hear frequently for the rest of your life. he is known as: The Chosen One. Many people suffered extreme consequences, your Uncle Kylo included, he had to experience the Cruciatus curse for eighteen hours straight, causing him to be driven insane and once again there is no piece of magic to restore him. That is why you arrived at Hogwarts five years later than you should have. We had to make sure it was safe for you.'' Dumbledore explanied. You were shocked, you had often wondered why you could never visit uncle Kylo, your father had originally told you he lived in Australia near Bondi Beach, right on the coast, but no it was a much deeper, much darker story which you wished you had always known, but then again what you didn't know couldn't hurt you.
