Conor's POV
It was about dinner-time, and everyone had free period so Ariel and I went down to the Dungeon to see dad, Detentions didn't start till after dinner, so I was sure we wouldn't bump in to anyone.
"-I'm certain of it!"
"How can you be sure Albus that guy..he's just weird!"
"Were you so different when you started teaching?"
"Don't bring that up!"
"Alright, fine. You're going to have to face it some day Severus. You're just a very untrusting person."
"I know that! and I have my reasons!"
"I know, I know, well, I'll see you later."
"Sure."
"Hello Conor, Ariel, how was your first day?"
"Itr was... interesting," I said giving dad a quick glance.
"It was amazing!" Ariel said about to jump out of her skin.
"Well I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves. Good bye, I'll see you at dinner."
"wow, Conor, for an old guy he's kinda funny!"
"Ya, that's the Headmaster for you. Hey dad!"
"Hello, so "Interesting"? You're not only meaning first hour are you? Because stuff like that is what's going to get me in trouble."
"Of course not Professor! I'm a little curious though.."
"About what, We've got time I could probably answer your ... it's a question right?"
"Who's Harry Potter?"
"Who's Harry-? You mean I've honestly never told you about-? That's incredible... Well I suppose now's as good a time as any..."
"For what?"
"Alright, let's see... not very long ago, there was a ma- a wizard... he was.. well"
"What?"
"Okay take the bad guy from that show you love so much."
"Uh-huh."
"Now give him magic, and followers and control, and multiply it all by ... 50."
"Fifty?"
"Why not? Okay so that probably close to what he was like. He went around, and if there was anyone who didn't agree with what he said, he killed them. Now there was a very young baby, a little boy by the name of Harry Potter, and for some reason the wizard-"
"What was his name?"
"Aah... well, he had a lot of names... Some people call him You-Know-Who, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, The Dark Lord, the Headmaster calls him Tom."
"But what's his name?"
"(Sighs) V- ... Voldemort..."
"Voldemort?"
"Don't say it!"
"Sorry... Why not?"
"I don't know, he had power, the name was designed to strike fear into the hearts of any one who heard it! You were both to young to understand, but when he had power, he was terrifying, that's why. Alright so... The Dark Lord decided for some reason to kill Potter, and he would've too, but there was something that happened. You see, the boy's parents put themselves between The Dark Lord and their son, as any good parents would have. Somehow because of that, the curse was rebounded, I believe that it hit the Dark Lord and forced him away from the place."
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know... many of us think that he has hidden somewhere, to weak to carry on."
"Wow, that's a scary story... Why is it so amazing that Potter lived Uncle Severus?"
"Well, no one lived once the Dark Lord decided to kill them, and the curse he used more than any other, was... unblockable, even for the most powerful wizard, let alone a defenseless child."
"Oh... wow."
"Come on, it's time for dinner, see you later dad!"
