Chap 28

As Drake was talking with the girls, Mr Filch comes to their table and with a smirk on his face told Drake to come with him to the headmaster office. The girls looked at him with a worried expression on their faces.

"Don't worry about me, it was me who earlier that day, asked Professor McGonagall if I could see da...professor Dumbledore," said Drake to the girls which a relaxed look on his face.

The girls after hearing Drake relaxed and started to talk between each other, while e Drake got up and went to accompany Mr Filch.

"Don't wait of me, I will return late!" said Drake before he left the table.

The walk from the Great Hall to Dumbledore office was done in silence, Drake didn't say anything to Mr Filch and Mr Filch after hearing what Drake said to the girls lost the smirk on his face.

"Here you are! You stinky boy! See you tomorrow Hehehehe!" said Mr Filch after they arrived at the Golden gargle. Where professor McGonagall was waiting for him.

"tsk, tsk, let's see who is going to have the last laugh old hag "replied Drake before he followed behind Professor McGonagall. They still need to maintain their appearances.

Professor McGonagall didn't say anything about the exchange of words between Drake and Mr Filch since she knew it was a lost cause. They arrived at the door of Dumbledore office.

"You need to be quick, it's almost time for you to go to the dorms. See you tomorrow, Drake!" said Professor McGonagall with a gentle look on her face. They were alone and she could give this face to him. After all its was hard for her too to always have the stoic and serious look on her face when she looked at Drake in front of all the students. They didn't know that she was almost like a mother to him.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow auntie Minerva" answered back Drake before he went inside the office.

Drake walked in without saying anything, but Dumbledore didn't say anything about it he just looked at him and said:

"Come here Drake," said Dumbledore after he stopped writing something and point to his left side near Fawkes.

"Okay, dad! How was your day?" replied Drake as he walked near him.

"Well I had to go to the Ministry to take care of some business, but I heard that you want to talk with me about something."

Drake paled a little when Dumbledore said that since he thought it was about what happened in the weekend.

"Hahahaha! Don't worry son, it wasn't about you or the Dragonesses although I got inquired by the Magical Creatures department about the incident nothing too serious for now."

"Thanks, dad…well, what I wanted to tell you was about another one of my dreams. This time it wasn't the dream about my suppose house or entering in the painting. It was again about the ruined city and the women with the white tunic with the red cross and the wands behind it but this time was different," started Drake as he told Dumbledore all the details about his last dream.

When Drake finished talking, Dumbledore was with very serious and pensive face and they stayed there for a few more moments until Dumbledore started to talk.

"It seems your heritage is more profound than we initial thought, for the description of the dream and the happenings It seems it was around the middle age or even more ancient than that…those were dark times…and that creature you mentioned…I don't know anything which could compare to that. Maybe those creatures disappeared a long time and their description got lost in time. Nevertheless, I will talk with Nicolas about it.

"Damn…I thought that the city was from the old era, but I didn't know it was that ancient!" interjected Drake.

"Language young one, language!" said Dumbledore.

"Sorry, dad hehehehe!"

"Now, you need to focus on school and try to forget the dreams during the day and when you sleep think about your family…all of them and don't forget that you have the pendant with you which is the most amazing and mysterious object I have seen. Also, I think part of the dreams and the training must have something to do it and there will be a time when that little thing will reveal his secrets. Until then we will try to search for your old family house in Portugal and then see what we find there. You also need to study and train harder."

"Okay Dad, I will do as you say "replied Drake.

"Good! Now, its time for you to go to the bed and don't be late for tomorrow punishments," said Dumbledore ruffling Drake hair with a gentle look in his eyes.

"Okay, Dad and don't do that, I'm not a kid" replied Drake with an annoyed face.

"Yeah, yeah, Mr Filch will be waiting for you when you leave the office and he will bring you to the dorms, go easy on him."

With these last words from his Dad, Drake left the office and found M. Filch waiting for him. They just looked at each other before they start to walk until the dorms of the Gryffindor house. They walked in silence covered by the darkness and the small light with Drake thinking about his dreams and the talks with his dad. It was already late, and all the lights were off, the only light was from the lamp that Mr Filch was carrying.

This time there was any problem with the password and Drake managed to enter without delays after Mr Filch drops him off in front of the fat lady. He walked into the common room and went up to the dorms, his colleagues were already sleeping and checking one more time, he entered in his suitcase.

When he got inside, only Z was wake and when she saw Drake entering, she made small space jump to where he was, knocking him off. She was already very proficient in using her ability. Drake thought that with the speed that Z was learning, he would have his means to go anywhere in a few seconds without the need for using the "Apparatus" spell. Since he knew that he needed to wait for a while until he had the quantity of magic necessary to perform advanced magic like that. He would have to wait one or two years to start and train that magic and others but with the ability of Z, he could do it right now.

"Hey big girl, did you miss me already?!" said Drake to Z while he started to pat her. Z just purred in his embrace.

After playing for a while with her, Drake went to his secretary and started to read the letters he received today, he went to a private room without anything and the only purpose was to use the time turner. He was going to use the time-turner and stay all day inside his alchemy lab and study the notes of his uncle Flamel.
