Out of the maze

Jareth and Sarah took Harry back to the castle and had a room prepared for him with new toys and clothes that fitted on him perfectly. They hired the best tutors among the fae to teach Harry and named Sir Didymus his personal body guard"¦ with Hoggle's and Ludo's assistance just to make sure everything was ok, as Harry was quite found of exploring the labyrinth and getting himself into trouble.

So, by the tender age of ten, Harry knew the labyrinth inside and out, had friends all over the underworld and had more adventures than any other fae his age. His powers were quite astonishing as well. His natural ability as a wizard combining with his fae education kept his tutors impressed enough to forgive him when he pulled a prank on them. He was, after all, a normal ten years old fae prince with a *bit* more power than average, or so they like to explain to their beloved Queen who was not as forgiving as they were when she found half of her court hanging from the trees in the middle of the spring ball.

Jareth came in the balcony were Harry and Sarah were having breakfast. That was unusual because Jareth was suppose to be on earth, attending a few meeting with the magic creatures who lived there.

"Darling, what a nice surprise" said Sarah waking to Jareth and kissing him passionately "Did you decide to cut your trip short this time?"

"I had to, actually. I had a very interesting visit yesterday"

"Really, who was it?"

"Harry, why don't you go see if the new unicorn is born yet"¦ and stay clear of the nymph valley" said Jareth to his son as the boy ran inside to call sir Didymus and be on his way.

"Jareth? What is it?"

"Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts paid me a visit while I was in London. He has invited Harry to attend Hogwarts, if we wish it"

"but that is good, right? I mean I know is a school on earth but it has a very good reputation, right?"

"Oh! Yes. Indeed it does, but there is more to it"¦" and Jareth started to explain to Sarah what he had learned about Harry's past and about the birth of the fairy tale.

"So, what you're saying is that you believe it is his destiny to go to this school but also that this probably leads to grave danger and that we all could be affected by it?"

"Yes" said Jareth looking out the balcony to his kingdom

"You know I'll do everything in my power to protect him"

"and so will I, but we are fae and even if we live in a apparently free way we abide by the laws. It is part of what we are"

"What are you saying?"

"We will do everything that we can, but in the end he will follow his destiny and we can only hope we've prepared him well enough to do it"

"Yes, I know" said Sarah wrapping her arms around her husband. Her chest felt tight in worry. "so, what did you and this Dumbledore man decided?"

"He gave me this letter. We will have to acquire his schools supplies. Diagon Alley is suppose to have everything he will need."

"Do you know this place?"

"Yes, we have a back there"¦ I believe Griphoop is still in charge. We will pay him a visit"¦ oh, here. Dumbledore gave me this book so we could get familiar with the school. He also invited us for a visit if we want to get to know the place personally"

Sarah looked at the book Jareth had placed in her hands. It was a large book entitled "Hogwarts, a history".

"They sure are modest, aren't they?" and with that, she began to read.
