Party Disclosures
The hospital wing was strangely uneasy when Arthur entered. Several students were awakened by noises coming from the dungeon, everything happened after bedtime, and gathered around the bed of Madeline Desmarais and Alfred Jones. Professor Wang was in a separate section, Madam Pomfrey had refused outright to someone to see.
Braginsky Matthew Williams and Ivan were being treated by their strike!ace. Madam Pomfrey saw Arthur shake and rushed toward him.
"You were down there too," he said. No question was an accusation, resigned just one sentence. Arthur nodded. "Then sit."
Arthur sat in a chair and Madam Pomfrey came quickly to the closet, to find a salve for cuts and wounds on his face.
Nataliya cried suddenly. "It's waking up!"
"Quoi?!" Cried Francis.
"Madeline est & aacute; waking up! "
Ivan got up, but Madam Pomfrey pushed him back to his seat. "You can visit Ms. Desmarais then." He spoke in such a tone of authority that Ivan even dared to question it.
"What? Why am I here? Where's Ivan? "Echoed the voice of Madeline.
"You're in the hospital wing, chère Madeline. All is well, Ivan is right here, "Francis said, softly. Nataliya
be sentó beside Arthur, Madeline got up, but then stumbled to his feet and fell. Francis caught it.
"Miss Desmarais, go back to bed. Required should not over, has been unconscious for a month. "
" Yes, we were going to die or something, "someone said, shakily.
"Alfred!" Said Madeline, looking toward the bed of the United States. Was he trying to get up with pillows.
"Hey Madeline" he said with a faint smile.
"Whyare you in bed? "
" I sat in the chair. "
Madeline opened her eyes. "Oh, it's true! I was trying to return to Gryffindor Tower and I found this Prefect that forced me to go to jail ... "his voice trailed off. "Did the same with you?"
"Nah, I was just being cool and saving Matty to do that!" Alfred smiled sideways. Arthur
suddenly lost her breath. "Speaking of Slytherin prefects, the strange curse that had Marcus Lesauvageand should be dispelled, from one moment to another ... "
There was a sudden noise and a scream. Then the voice of Marcus Lesauvage came to them, muffled by the walls of the castle.
"Professor Snape, I swear, it was not me! I do not know what happened! "
" Do not know what happened, eh? "Matthew hissed, his face getting red. Madam Pomfrey gave him a warning look.
The hospital wing door opened and Professor Snape and Dumbledore entered, Snape holding fast to Marcus Lesauvage. Moments later & amp; eacute; s, McGonagall and Sprout The teachers went too.
"I think I heard something about a missing Hufflepuff?" Said Professor Dumbledore gay.
"All right sir, you are here." Said Alfred.
"Ah, Mr. Jones, Mr. Kirkland. Mr. Bonnefois said you two had gone in search of that Hufflepuff. "Dumbledore smiled. "I would like to see you both in my office." Then he looked at Madam Pomfrey, who looked a little lost among so many people entering their domain.
Al
Fred jumped out of bed, to the dismay of others. "Come on then!" Enthused, and Arthur just rolled her eyes.
seemed that nothing would change to Alfred, the U.S. Gryffindor.
...
Dumbledore's office was a very curious place. There were books on shelves scattered around the room, portraits of past directors on the walls, small gadgets on the tables, and a magnificent Phoenix on a shelf near the counter.
"Sit down," said Professor Dumbledore. The two sat down. "& Iquest; Lemonade? "
" No, thanks, "said Arthur, but Alfred greedily accepted. Dumbledore smiled.
"Well, well. Not every day I meet someone who likes lemonade. Now, tell me what happened. "
Alfred was the first search by Matthew, which ended in the dungeon with the chair, and then entering with Matthew Lesauvage.
He broke a bit telling how Matthew Lesauvage forced to sit in the chair, but Dumbledore just smiled and encouraged him to continue telling the story. How
do Alfred ended with him sitting on the chair, Arthur spoke. For what seemed an eternity, he told both his meeting with Thomas Busby, the input of Professor Wang, Ivan then saving the day, sitting in the chair.
finished with a slightly hoarse voice, looking from a pair of blue eyes to the other. Finally, Alfred broke the silence.
"That was ... great."
"Impressive, indeed," Dumbledore said, crossing his fingers and looked at them through his half-moon spectacles. "You two and Ivan have demonstrating share tremendous courage today. "He smiled. "I will give fifty points for each of the three houses on it."
She looked at Arthur. "Unfortunately, I have to deduct fifty points to Slytherin for the conduct of Marcus Lesauvage. I will not drive-only was doing the will of the chair. However, you have a punishment, and their permits be revoked Hogsmeade. "
Arthur bowed his head and did not look up. Will hear Dumbledore could dispatching Alfred, steps away from the U.S., but suddenly, his shoes hab & iacutee; an exciting again.
"Arthur Kirkland, you know why you're in Slytherin?"
Arthur looked up again. Dumbledore was smiling again, his eyes shining.
"No sir, but I want to know."
"Do you know about Lord Voldemort, right?"
Arthur nodded, feeling that the question was a bit silly. "Yes, it is the dark wizard who terrorized Britain for several decades, until Harry Potter
defeated."
"exactlyately. But Harry Potter, I fear, not completely defeated. "
Arthur remained silent.
"Lord Voldemort's spirit is somewhere in Albania now. Is determined to regain human form, with the intention to return and finish his work. Harry Potter will find and kill him, and when it does, Britain will be in grave danger. "
A shiver ran the backbone of Arthur. "But what has that to do with me, or to be in Slytherin?" He asked.
"Arthur, & amp, iQuest, you realize the importance of the union between houses? "Dumbledore's eyes were serious now, but his smile never faded. "When Voldemort returns, will become even more important for the houses of Hogwarts to be united despite differences. You could easily have gone into Gryffindor and there have been fed all the stories about the House of Slytherin and reputation, have been just as biased as all other. "
" But hat put you in Slytherin, not only because you possess the qualities of a great Slytherin, but also because they have the potential to dispel the lines between the houses. You can show the rest of the school that Slytherin House is not what it seems, that there are good and honorable people in it like any other house. "
Arthur smiled a little. "I see, Professor."
"Okay." Dumbledore nodded. "Now, about Thomas Busby."
Arthur
tightened.
"You know why it disappeared when Ivan broke the chair?"
"No sir."
"Because the chair is a very curious little piece of magic called Horcrux. I dir & eacuyou, what is, but you must swear not to tell any living soul what a Horcrux is. Especially Harry Potter. "
Arthur nodded. "You have my word, Professor."
"Good." Dumbledore went to a shelf and then returned with a book. "This book gives an overview of the most dangerous dark artifacts in the world. The Horcrux is one of them. "He handed the book. "I hope I read it and return it promptly."
Arthur took the book, which was old and exuded evil of every one of your pages. "Thank you, Professor. But whywhat you're saying all this? "
" For your security, Arthur Kirkland. "Dumbledore sat at his desk. "I think Thomas Busby mentioned that you were a strangely powerful magician for your age?"
Nodding, Arthur said, "But many others are too. Alfred, Francis, Nataliya, Ivan ... "
" Yes, that's true. "Professor Dumbledore leaned forward. "I would prefer that none of you know, such a burden on his shoulders would be ... I have not experienced, But I suspect it would be unpleasant. "
Arthur swallowed. "Q-what are we, then?"
Dumbledore's smile was sad and resigned. "You, my boy, are the personification of England, and the official representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain Northern Ireland. Your family are all representatives of the constituent kingdoms of Great Britain-Scotland Liam, Erin is Ireland, Arawn is Wales, and Peter is the Principality of Sealand. "
Arthur opened his eyes, and pinched unconsciously. "But ... how? "C & OverhaulI, m I can be a Nation? "
" I do not know, because I'm not. But if you look at the interactions of your family ... you'd be surprised how similar are the policies of Muggle and Magic. "
Arthur clung to his seat, knuckles white. "Alfred is an American, Francis is French, Belarus Nataliya is ... does that mean they ...?"
"They are the personification of the United States, France and Belarus? Yes "
" All of our year as well? & Rdquoo;
"Not everyone. Katie Bell and Cho Chang are human and will remain so, I think. "
Arthur looked at his hands. "The fact that it is a nation ... explains why I'm so good with the magic?"
"It does, somehow. A nation is as strong as its people and their loyalty to their country. That applies to you as its personification. If all the people of Britain, wizards or Muggles, decided to leave the country right now, you weaken considerably, and would cease to exist once you attack another country. "
Arthur
trembled. "So I guess it's a good thing they have not done?" He said with a faint smile.
"Yes, it's a good thing that still remain loyal to you," said Dumbledore, sounding very strange words to Arthur. "But that also explains why Voldemort is a threat to you as much as Harry Potter. Do you know what happened the last time he was in power? "
" many innocent lives were lost, "whispered Arthur.
"It will happen again," Dumbledore nodded. & Ldquo, with each person that Voldemort and his followers killed, you lose some strength. With each bridge or road that they break, every part of government to attack ... not only be attacking your country, will also be attacking you. You, as the personification of the birthplace of Voldemort, are attached to it, much as Harry Potter. "
" So I have to help Harry Potter to defeat it. "He said , Arthur. Dumbledore nodded.
"But you can not help telling him everything you know. He must learn to be resourceful to find things por your account. You have to - for want of a better word-master knowledge you gain to defeat Voldemort, and if I'm wrong, I like the challenge of putting all the pieces in place. You must help the least intrusive manner possible. "
Arthur nodded. "I see, Professor."
"Okay. Ah, but look at the time. You run to your bedroom, Arthur. "
Arthur got up and walked towards the door.
"One more thing," called Dumbledore, and when Arthur turned around, saw no hint of a smile on the face of the director.
"& iquest, Yes? "
" Do not tell anyone. Alfred, Francis, Nataliya, and others learn about themselves in due time. You have priority only for the mere existence of Voldemort. "
Arthur nodded and left the office.
