What Magic?

Chapter 13

Teddy with blue hair^

It's been weeks since we sent the letter to Al's father and we still haven't received a reply back. So, I am just patiently waiting for him to finally come back to us with answers but feel really anxious. As well as I haven't been able to use magic but I think I'm getting really good at annunciating the spells as well as flying Albus's broom while he sits behind me. I have found that flying is actually quite soothing and I love the feel of the wind whipping past me as I fly through the air.

The Christmas holiday is getting close and I can't wait to see my family not just read letters from them. I mean I'm happy to still have contact with them while I'm here but I wish I could see them face to face.

"Does anyone know what," The professor was asking who knows what to put in this potion to make it less potent when a voice filled the school cutting off her sentence.

"Will, Albus Potter and Serena Chandler come down to my office, immediately," Professor McGonagall announces to the whole school and my head whips to the teacher asking if I could go and she nods her head.

"Good luck," Scrorpius says as I walk towards the door and I send him a smile just before it closes behind me. I keep walking down the halls towards where I believe her office to be when I run into Al and feel extremely relieved.

"Thank goodness your here I though I had gotten lost, I've never been to her office," I sigh as I link arms with him in order to walk together till we got to this weird statue that opened making a stair case. When we entered her office I was in awe at how big it was with a strange metal statue in the middle with a desk on the other side. I look closer to see a older man standing next to the desk with short, black hair but I can only see the back of his hair so I'm not really sure what he looks like.

"Dad?" Al asks unlinking arms with me and walking faster till he stopped in front of the man as he turned smiling brightly at Al. I stop at the top of the stairs as I watch the scene in front of me as he pulls Al into a tight hug.

"Look at you, you gotten so big over the past few months and your last match was outstanding sorry I wasn't able to say goodbye last time I had an urgent meeting that I couldn't miss," Al's father says while he hugs him and I start feeling like I'm intruding on a family moment unto Al pulls away and motions me forward. "Ah, you must be Serena it's nice to finally meet you."

I shake his hand and give him a shy smile as I look at him thoroughly I see that he has dark green eyes and a strangle looking scar on his forward almost covered by the hair hanging in front of his face. "Nice to finally meet you as well," I say and after I star at him a little longer I gasp. "Your the man I followed on to the train station platform."

Albus turned to look at me with a confused lo before his eyes widened and he turned back to look at his father. The man was confused as well but eventually smiled down at me. "Well, isn't it fate that you are now best friends with my son," He smiled brightly at me making me giggle and nod my head. "Okay, so you guys want to know about Xavier Revis?"

"Yes sir," I say starting to recede into myself and my nervous side had appeared once again. Albus gave me an encouraging smile telling me there was nothing to be nervous about.

"Sir makes me feel old call me Harry. Anyway, why exactly do you wish to know?" Harry asks making me doubt all of the reasons I wanted to give him when this time came. To tell him of how little is written about him and how even Rose doesn't know very much. Also that I felt kind of drawn to him as I looked at his picture in the book.

But I knew I had to be the one to explain so after several seconds of silence and Albus opening his mouth to answer I spoke, "It was initially I who had brought it up at one of out study sessions. I had seen his picture in the back of our history books this year but there was very little information about him. So, I continued looking in all the library books we even asked our teacher but they didn't have more than what was in our book. But I just knew there had to be more and I couldn't help but feel drawn to finding out who he really was." I was shocked that I was actually able to explain it and I was extremely proud of myself.

He gave me a small smile before he began to speak, "Well, as I guess you know he was apart of the ministry, he was an incredible wizard and loyal friend. His job was to do what others tended to avoid, such as infiltrating muggle companies to get rid of information that could expose the wizarding world as well as to find out what the few followers that are left of Voldemort's are planning. But while on a mission in the muggle world he disappeared for a few months longer then we had planned and once he had returned he want rogue and became a Death Eater. We continuously tried to contact him to find out what happened and why he was doing this but he always got away. Then one day he disappeared and we haven't heard or seen him since."

I just stared at him shocked to hear all this. Why would he risk destroying his life? Could he have been forced? Did something in my world cause him to have to join them in order for something to occur? He had everything that any man could ask for why would he just disappear. "Did he have a family?" I inquire wondering if that could have been a reason.

"No, in fact he was the last of his family line which just so happened to be pure-bloods. Though he was one of the kindest men I have ever met so I wouldn't doubt he would make a wonderful husband and father," Harry says as he appears to be thinking of the man he knew.

"Do you think that could have been the reason why he disappeared for so many months. Maybe he fell in love and started a family with her," I suggest to which he just looks at me trying to digest the possibility I had just give him about his co-workers absence.

"I guess that would make since but why would he come back become a Death Eater then disappear once again," Harry sighed and rubbed his temples if he were getting a headache from all of these thoughts and ideas.

"Do you think he could have been looking fore something that they had?" Albus suggests finally adding something to the conversation other then just looking back and forth between his father and I. I mean how long have we been talking while he just stood there staring.

"That would make since as well because another part of his job was to retrieve stolen objects that they had acquired. But we tended to avoid going head first into the Death Eaters because other than just receiving the mark they also force you to commit terrible deeds to others," Harry explains in depth about what exactly it meant to be a Death Eater and I couldn't help the shiver that ran down my back at what Xavier had to do to infiltrate them.

"Whatever it was must have been very important to him if he risked so much to get it," I say softly thinking about how this discussion may have answered some of my questions but its given me way more that no body but Xavier Revis himself is able to answer, but for all we know he could be dead by now. I shake my head trying to clear my thoughts as I smile up at Harry. "Well, anyways I would like to thank you for coming all the way here and answering my silly questions."

"Oh, those weren't silly at all they got me to think. Maybe if you keep looking you may be able to find something no body else has," Harry says smiling back me. I shake hands with him before he hugs Albus goodbye and he's gone.

"Your dad's cool," I say linking arms with Albus as we walk out of Professor McGonagall's office heading back to our classes.

"Yeah, and he's been really cool about me being in Slytherin which I think is fantastic ," He responds smiling brightly making me laugh. We keep walking until we reach my class and I pull him into I tight hug.

"Thank you so much, I know you didn't have to do that for me," I whisper into his ear as I still hold him tightly in a hug. Once we pull away he grabs my shoulders and stares at me while smiling.

"It was nothing, what are friends for," He responds making me smile and I kiss his cheek before tossing a "See ya later" over my shoulder before I went into the classroom.
