Unforgettable

Time Turning Home

* Original Albus Dumbledore due to it being Marauders Era*
Setting: where we last left Peri & Professor Dumbledore, in his office...

"I've been expecting for you Ms. Pettigrew," the voice of an elderly man come from behind her

"Professor,"she turns around & greets with a nod of her head in respect

     He already knew what she has been up to, why she was in his office & with her tasks now complete, she was finally ready to leave for her own time. He says nothing more as he makes his way to his seat behind the desk, & looks at her with that usually mysteriously knowing look that just screams he already knows everything, but wants for you to tell him everything...

"..." having not seen him since he died, she finds herself at a loss for words

"Ms. Potter foretold your coming," he tells her, then adds with a laugh, "was asked to leave divinations for disrupting the class...I trust whatever you divulged about the future has been erased from those you've told's memories?"

"Yyyes Professor," she tells him quietly

"Good," he states with a nod & waits expectantly for more

"How did you know who I am?"

"Born of both bat and rat," he states, "only two student in Hogwarts can change into a bat," he chuckles lightly, "but boys don't usually give birth," he adds still laughing, "and certain students think I don't know about certain animals seen sneaking from the castle and out into the tree at nights of the full moon-"

"You knew-know?" She asks correcting herself as she does so

"Yes," he confirms, "but I see no need to interfere with it," he adds in, "no one has gotten hurt as of yet," he explains, "and if either the ministry or parents got wind of students becoming animungus without a teacher's knowledge, it would not bode well for the school and its faculty," he tells her, "and if a werewolf being present at the school were to come to light," he goes on, "students would be pulled and transferred, and they'd be after my resignation..."

"Of course," is all she finds herself able to say at this given explanation

"So how many are there in your time?"

"One werewolf and three animungus," she tells him quietly

"..." he just quietly nods in acceptance of this, "I suppose you've-put all your affairs in this time in order?"

"Yes," she replies quietly

"Tell me," he starts with a clearing of his throat, "do we win the war?"

"I-" she starts, "we-" she stops herself, "I shouldn't tell you..."

"No, you shouldn't," he confirms with a smile, "but," he adds in with his aged, wisdom filled voice, "for the sake of preparing for the worst, for the battle itself, and for an old man's sanity," he says with another light chuckle at the end, "you must."

"..." she quietly nods before reluctantly doing so, "we win the war," she says in a small voice, "but not the first part..."

"I see," is his only response as he eyes her, clearly seeing that she's trying desperately not to tell the great deal more that she desperately wishes to tell
