Professor Dumbledore, Sir?

[Chapter Three: Professor Dumbledore, Sir?]

"Smith, The Headmaster would like to see you in his office." Professor McGonagall said as she pulled Onyx away from the group of Gryffindors. They looked over to The Slytherin table to see Naka and Professor Snape talking to the side and turned to the Hufflepuff table to see the same thing going on between Professor Sprout and Mana. 

"Alright." Onyx nodded their head. 

The trio + the professors all went to the Headmaster's office. "Cockroach Clusters." Professor McGonagall said and the gargoyle in the way moved. "Up you go." The stern-looking woman ushered them up, She didn't follow them. None of the teachers did. They got to the office and saw the Headmaster enjoying a lemon drop. "I'm glad you could all make it. Have a seat." The Headmaster smiled kindly, his eyes twinkling. "I do hope you enjoyed the train ride here?"   

The trio sat down. "Er- Yes Professor," Naka answered after a long pause. "I'd like to speak with you all about how you found yourself here." Professor Dumbledore said. The three all nodded, each wanting an explanation and to know when they were to go home. "Once every 50 years a group of students is brought from the future to the past. They aren't handpicked, But randomly chosen." Professor Dumbledore explained. "Another student arrived at the platform earlier than you, three hours to be precise, and therefore I had time to set up their things as you all were brought in only moments before the train left. They're a first-year Raven-claw, Did you know? Of course, Professor McGonagall explained everything to them when they were in the sorting chambers, so we found no need to bring them up here." He smiled. 

"That's nice and all Professor, But can we know more about this time thing? Like how long are we going to be here? And how are we supposed to be 'magical'? Every corner we go I see some sort of magic trick." Naka asked. "Well, Back in 1936, Four students came in different years. The reasoning being, of course, the portal that appears between the future and past. The next time to the portal will open is in 2036."

"How does the portal decide to open at what year in the future?" Mana asked. "It decides randomly." Professor Dumbledore chuckled. "And as for the magic, You all do have magic. But only a bit more than a squib, A non-magical person born to magical parents, but the portal only allows people with magic through it during these times." Dumbledore explained. "So we have magic? Just not a lot?" Onyx asked to clarify. "Correct. With time, or extra training during free periods, you all will be able to raise your magic to its full potential." Dumbledore nodded.

"Is there a way we can start this training? I mean I don't mind being behind in classes but We're all in 2nd to 5th year. Wouldn't it be a bit strange if Onyx and Naka are that behind? I mean a second year I understand but a 3rd and 5th?" Mana questioned. "There is, If you all would like every night after dinner you all will be trained by your head of houses. Will that due?" 

The three nodded, pleased. "You all will get your supplies tomorrow at Diagon Alley with your head of houses as well." The three looked at each other and shrugged. "Alright."

"Then off you go, Take the left staircase behind the painting with Salazar Slytherin carved into the frame. It'll take you, Mr. Victor, straight into the Slytherin common room, it's the one that goes downwards. The password is 'Basilisk'. Smith, To get to your common room quickly the painting of Godric Gryffindor is the fastest way, there's a staircase going up. The password is 'Caput Draconis'. And Ms. Moore, in The painting of Helga Hufflepuff. one must tap the correct barrel with their wand, in the rhythm of "Helga Hufflepuff". It's the stairs leading down." Dumbledore informed them.

The three left his office and went to their respective portraits. They opened them quite easily and took one last glance at each other.  "See ya tomorrow!" Onyx smiled. "Night." The three all said together. "See you both." Naka waved. "Don't die, Love ya all!" Mana smiled and waved before disappearing. Naka went next closing the portrait behind him and Onyx went last after seeing both their friends leave.
