Luella had been using glamoury to make it appear that she was covered in snakes. When, in fact, she only had a couple of snakes and was still wearing her skirt. In preparation for a more friendly meeting with government officials, she shifted her glamoury to make it appear that she was wearing formal dress robes of the sort that witches had worn in her own time.

This time, Harry was not being treated as a prisoner as he and his wife were escorted by the two policemen to a fairly large 18th century house. On the corner of the building was historical marker indicating that it had been built in 1793. After walking up the steps, Officer Adams led them through the door to a foyer that had been turned into a reception area.

\"Afternoon Sarah\" said Adams.

\"Martha, Aedan\" she greeted them. \"Mr. Jay is waiting for you. Go on in.\"

Officer Adams led them into to the first door on the left with Officer McLeod bringing up the rear. They entered an old parlor that had been converted into an office. Mr. John Jay was a slightly plump man in his early forties. He reminded Harry of Peter Pettigrew in his appearance, with his mousy brown hair and beady little brown eyes.

\"Come in! Come in!\" Mr. Jay greeted them. \"What can I do for you officers? Sarah tells me you may have some clue as to what the event was?\"

\"At first we thought these were a couple of spies, straight from Walkeropolis\" began Officer Adams. \"We had captured him and were interrogating him. But the stories he had to tell were to wild to be true. Then she showed up and incapacitated the entire police station and they both disarmed and subdued us.\"

\"Why did you bring such dangerous criminals to me?\" said Mr. Jay. Why aren\'t they in jail? Why didn\'t they kill you?\"

\"Believe me, if they meant us harm, we would already be dead now\" said Adams. \"They had us totally at their mercy! In the process, they demonstrated some abilities that you would have to see to believe. I brought them to you because it\'s possible that their version of the Event may be true. Mr. Potter, Why don\'t you give us a little demonstration?\"

Pop!

Harry apparated behind Mr. Jay and tapped him on the shoulder while Luella used her glamoury to make herself invisible. When Mr. Jay turned to look at who had touched him, Harry apparated back to where he had started.

\"I think that if we are going to discuss this like civilized human beings, we need to take our seats,\" said Harry as he conjured a quartet of chairs for them to sit in. He then flicked his wand and a small barrel of butterbeer appeared floating in the air. Harry conjured five flagons, filled them, and floated them over to each person. Luella had, by now, shifted her glamoury so that she was the most beautiful woman any of them had ever seen. \"After this demonstration, if I told you I am a wizard and my wife is a witch, would you believe me?\"

\"I believe that you\'re a very good stage magician,\" said Mr. Jay suspiciously.

\"Well, let\'s just say, for the sake of argument that I am what I say I am,\" replied Harry. \"Twelve years ago, my wife and I were fighting an evil Wizard high in the air above this island. He cast an unknown spell that created a huge dome of lights. Luella fell into it and when I tried to rescue her, we found ourselves on what we had thought was another planet. We tried to go home to Britain but everywhere we went we found wilderness and people who had barely entered the Iron Age. So we gave up. We\'ve been quietly living our lives in a backwater part of Britain, raising our family and keeping to ourselves . . . until we heard the legend of the Eagle people.\"

\"Okay, assuming, for the sake of argument, that you\'re telling the truth, why haven\'t I heard of anyone with powers like you before?\" Said Jay

\"Wizards were a very small minority in society,\" said Harry. \"Most governments kept knowledge of people like us a secret. But often we had our own governmental branches. For example, Britain had a Ministry of Magic and I believe that you own government had a division called the Y-files that was in charge of suppressing knowledge of wizardkind.\"

\"If that\'s the case, why are you revealing any of this to me?\" asked Jay.

\"I never agreed with our government\'s stance on secrecy. You see, I was . . . we both were, raised in non-magical households\" said Harry.

\"Well, I\'m still going to need some better proof than a few parlor tricks,\" said Jay. \"This is delicious, by the way. So what is you want from us?\"

\"We want to be able to visit occasionally so that our children will be able to cope with the non-magical world,\" said Harry. \"Perhaps even get a summer house here so they we can spend the summers here. Also, we don\'t have much money, so we'll have to figure out a way to use our talents to make some.\"

\"Maybe we should pose as stage magicians,\" suggested Luella. \"That way, if we or the kids accidentally slip up and do magic in front of the muggles, we can excuse it as practice for our show. And don\'t for get, we still need to pay the bill at Captain Jack\'s.\"

~so how are we going to get them to believe us~ hissed Harry

~Maybe if we gave them a world tour~ said Luella. \"This map on the wall . . . are the red flags all the places that you have bases?\"

\"Yes\" said Jay

\"Well hang on to your hat. Because you are about to get a tour of them\" said Harry. \"Portus!\"
