The Big Four and The Prophecy (Book 1)

26 - Glimpse of the Past

Glimpse of the Past

          "I have found the boy, Toothiana," said the headmaster, who was now wearing his original headmaster robes.

          Toothiana's stern face softened by the news, "You have?" she exhaled.

         "James Frost's son, Jackson. he is the one spoken by the prophecy. It seems like the boogeyman, has been hiding the boy from us after all this time. The reason why the owls couldn't find the boy. He made sure he'd be separated from the other three. In hopes of preventing the prophecy to come true."

          "But we're three years too late. he can't skip the first three years in Hogwarts, it'll affect his studies."

          "Surely we can find a solution to that, Toothiana. I am the headmaster after all, leave the boy up to me. But for now, tell Gobber to see me immediately."

          "North," Toothiana said charmingly, "Should he know? Jackson?" she asked with concern.

          "He will know at the right time, headmistress," North said, certain with his words.

         The scenario changed into an outdoor scenery, revealing Jack's home. It was the time Gobber had come to deliver Jack's Hogwarts letter.

         "Why just now, Gobber? I've been waiting for his letter, myself. I almost thought Jack might be a squib and that he might've gotten his powers from somewhere else," she said laughing at the absurdity of her words, "Here, have a drink," she said, offering him a cup of tea.

"Marie, I must say, I'm going to be honest with you about something. Specifically about your boy, Jack. And please do not take it lightly, whatever it is I am to tell you," Gobber said calmly while sitting on the couch.

Soon, the visions showed Jack and Emma eavesdropping on them just by their door, they had just arrived from skating.

"I won't allow it, Gobber."

"There is no choice. Wether he goes to Hogwarts or not, sooner or later the boogeyman will come for him. I know that the ministry of magic granted you the security you need, but it won't be enough to keep the dark lord and his nasty followers away from here. Hogwarts, if you come to think of it, would be the safest place for him to be in, given that North will be there to protect him and the others," Gobber tried to reasoned with her.

"Gobber, please. I've already lost James, and now you're telling me that my son might have the same fate as him too?"

Their conversation was cut short by Jack's arrival.

Then the aura went darker, showing the moment when Gobber is about to leave.

"North will protect him. At any cost, Marie. You got to be strong. Be strong for James,"

"Just promise me he won't be harmed in any way," Jack's mother said finally.

No one recognized the woman but Rapunzel. But after just a short moment, they all realized who she was–it was the Queen, Rapunzel's mother. Who would question it? Their resemblance is uncanny. She was sitting on a chair in front of North's table, wearing a few layers of dark clothes, probably a disguise.

"I just don't want anyone to know, North. The students–or anyone at all who would find out about her ability might use it against her, and I just dont want anything to happen to her...again. At least, now that you know, you and the professors can protect her from trouble," her brunette mother said.
