Bagshot Stories

It was the summer of rock'n'roll. Bill Haley. Buddy Holly. Chuck Berry. Fats Domino. The Big Bopper. Now, every time I hear one of their songs, I am reminded of a summer vacation never to be forgotten ... for all the wrong reasons! Certainly, much of it had been spent lazing on a lounger beside a swimming pool, immersed in an interesting book I had brought along. However, my ears had been battered for days by continuous rock'n'roll, blasted at maximum volume from a tinny cassette machine leant against the wall of a Spanish villa's veranda. This was not the preferred soundtrack of my teenage years.

Kapow! There was an explosion. Before I even grasped what had just happened, I could see I was covered with shards of glass. What was that noise? The train window I was sat next to had suddenly vanished and was in pieces on me and the seat. Luckily, I had not been looking towards the window at the time, otherwise my face would have been injured. Luckily, because it was winter, I was wearing an army surplus hat with furry earflaps that had protected my head and ears. Luckily, I was wearing a coat over my school blazer, gloves and long trousers that had shielded me, these winter woollies necessary because trains' heating systems rarely functioned adequately.

Albus, Harry's son, uncovers more truth about the potter's family friend in Godric's Hollow: Bathilda Bagshot. A demigod childhood? A legacy of Hecate? A blessing of Hestia? Lily had always respected her. Bagshot is definitely more than she seems.

Eighteen-year-old Gellert Grindelwald is in an even worse mood than usual. A long, murky history of twisted Magical experiments at Durmstrang has finally led to his expulsion. As far as Gellert is concerned, it's the final black mark against his name. By request of his Father, Gellert's bags were packed, and he was sent off to live with his Great Aunt in Godric's Hollow, world-famous Magical historian Bathilda Bagshot. Little does Gellert know, a summer or two with his batty old Aunt could get a lot, lot more interesting. Especially when he meets a seventeen-year-old Hogwarts prodigy. Albus Dumbledore was the shining star of his family and one of the most brilliant students that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has ever produced. Eleven Outstandings on his O.W.L's and N.E.W.T's, awards and badges for Prefect and Head Boy, winner of the Barnabus Finkeley Prize for Exceptional Spell-Casting. Albus left school in a blaze of glory after his seventh year and, along with his best friend Elphias Doge, made plans to travel the world. Albus' plans are cut short when, one morning, an owl arrives at the Leaky Cauldron. Albus' mother, Kendra, has passed away, leaving Albus' younger brother Aberforth and his frail and mentally delicate sister Ariana to fend for themselves. Of course Albus was being called home. Albus was beyond irritated. He was angry. Despite all this, Albus returned home, seething. Instead of travelling the world, becoming great, he was stuck at home with the burden of tending to his brother and sister. What could be worse. Fortunately, a new arrival in Godric's Hollow is about to brighten up Albus' days. A mysterious young man by the name of Gellert Grindelwald.

She was only six when she was brutally attacked by those Muggle boys. She couldn't control herself; it wasn't her fault! Her father attacked them to avenge her, which only led to his inevitable capture and sentence to Azkaban Prison. Ariana Dumbledore, the youngest of the Dumbledore children, was never the same again, and all her family could do, was sit and watch her sanity crumble away as she grew up in a torn and broken family.
