Possibly The Wake

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

I'm sorry, dear, I think I may have misheard you.

Where did you say you were sending me? Because I really can't afford to neglect my duties at such an important stage of implementation. I'm afraid it just wouldn't do.

Hello señorita. If you do ending up coming to Nautilus, time stops back in your world. So it's like you don't miss anything at all.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Is that so, dear? Well, how utterly fascinating. I shall have to write to the Minister about this at once!

But, I don't suppose it would be possible to make a few teensy little changes in anticipation of my arrival?

[theirnamesake]

[Looking at her with a mildly horrified expression.]

Mum and dad told me horror stories about you.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

I see.

And who are your mother and father, dear?

[You horrible, wretched little child]

[hasnomentor]

Uh...okay? What kind of changes?

[theirnamesake]

[You obnoxiously colored demon.]

Harry and Ginevra Potter.

It's the Bending, I'm afraid.

Naturally non-magic peoples should not be able to make magic. They don't have the right heads for it, you see, and it's no wonder all manner of horrible things happen to you.

Now, if we were to outlaw Bending and grant it only to those whose worlds come naturally with magic, so much the better for everyone involved, wouldn't you say?

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Yes. Oh, yes, I'm afraid Mr. Potter and I were never very well adjusted to one another while he was in my care. He never quite understood that what I did for him was for his own good, you see.

[hasnomentor]

I...really don't have that power. And what kind of magic? I mean there are some who come with stranger magic powers but it isn't like magic with words like back home.

And what about people with powers that aren't magic?

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Well, of course we'll all just have to appoint a committee to discuss these very important questions.

[theirnamesake]

His own good? You're loony, he still has a scar on his hand because of you.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Does he, now?

From the state of his parenting skills, I can safely say he has learned nothing from what I taught him.

Now, I'm afraid you'll just have to stay with me for the time being, until Mr. Potter comes and collects you. Perhaps together, you and I can sort out this name-calling nonsense once and for all.

[hasnomentor]

You'd have to ask the Deva and Ashura about that. They're the highest ascended ones.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Are they, now? Good. Please do set up a meeting with them to discuss the allotment of Bending. I'll be drawing up a list of those I feel responsible enough to handle their powers.

[hasnomentor]

I do live with one...I'll talk to him.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

What a kind boy. Off you go, then.

[theirnamesake]

Good thing he didn't. Or mum'll never'a married him and we wouldn't be here...

[On second thought, that's now sounding so bad.]

That's alright, I'd really rather not. James and Lily will probably be wonderin' where I am. And Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione never seem to mind callin' you things whenever their around so apparently you're the only one takin' offense.

[hasnomentor]

Right...

[Okay. She is a bossy lady. Though she does seem to have good intentions at least?]

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

The poor, lost children, passing their mistakes onto the next generation.

Well. We'll just have to correct that with you, won't we, young Mr. Potter. You stay right here with me and we'll get to the bottom of this.

[theirnamesake]

Really, I'm good. Aunt Hermione says... [And he pauses, thinking about what she said exactly.]

"Your teaching methods were proven to be cruel, unnecessary and completely incompetent. And that it's no wonder you started working with Voldemort at the end."

And considering my dad and aunt have very high positions in the Ministry of Magic, it'd be really dumb of you to try anything you did when you usurped control of Hogwarts from Dumbledore.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

[And there's that irritating little high-pitched laugh of derision]

Mr. Potter, I'm afraid you have been told a great many things by your parents and other relations that simply aren't true. What lies they've been filling your head with! The Dark Lord is a terrible and altogether far too long stretch of time in our wizarding history and thankfully has not returned as promised.

Although I must say, as per Headmaster Dumbledore's dismissal from his office, Hogwarts is running much more smoothly than ever before.

[theirnamesake]

My parents aren't the only ones lying then. Professor McGonagall, the Order of the Phoenix, all the people that had fought during the Battle of Hogwarts, Professor Longbottom, you think they're all lying too? He did return and he was killed.

Apparently not.

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

These are lies.

[theirnamesake]

No, they aren't.

[Glare.]

[onwednesdayswewearpink]

Yes. Yes, I'm afraid you are your father's son, aren't you? I see that now.

Hem. I suppose it falls to me to straighten you out.

[Is she removing her wand in front of a small child why yes she is run Albus!]
