Chapter 1 Beginning of the next Great Adventure

"After all, to the well–organised mind, death is but the next Great Adventure"

—Albus Dumbledore

"Today was a shitty day" I thought to myself, I had been working nonstop without Rest just so I could meet the unresenable high Quote the Company had assigned to my Team. In the end we managed but i knew they would not pay me for the Late Hours I had to take to manage this miracle.

I was currently on my way Home, walking over a crosswalk When I heard the blaring Horn of a Truck and i saw a bright light coming at me from my Side, i had just anought time to push aside the Teenager that was walking besides me, When suddenly the Truck Hit me and everything turnt black.

"WHAT THE…?!" I woke up cursing, startled i looked around me seeing nothing but what seam's to me like a endless expantion of a Pure white space. "Where am I?" I was confused should I not be in a Hospital or something? Am I in a coma and this is my mind playing Tricks on me? Was I even still Alive?! A good question considering i was Hit by a Fucking Truck!

"This cant be Real, this is all Happening inside my Head" I Said to myself trying to make Sense of the Situation all the while Breathing heavily clearly on the brink of a Panic attack.

"Of couse it is Happening inside your Head, why Should that mean that its Not real?" Said a Calm yet friendly Voice that sounded earely similar to the Voice of Michael Gambon.

I snapped my head around to where the voice was coming from so quickly I feared I had accidentally broken my neck "What, Who are you, where did you come from? I asked acusationaly as I saw a figure Than I was shure was not there a second ago.

The figure that looked just like Albus Dumbledore merely chuckled good naturally not at all offended "I hope you don't mind me appearing as I do? I have taken this Appearance in the hopes you would find it calming, as to your questions let's get them answered in order, I Think you have already realised by now that I am in fact not Albus Dumbledore but for convenience sake let's just stay with the name for now" The figure paused chuckling to himself clearly amused at what he just said before continuing "as to where I came from, Here" Dumbledore said gesturing to everything surrounding us with both his arms as if to imbraise the space we are standing in "a better question would be, What is this space we both find ourselves in?" Before I could answer that I had no idea or ask him for an answer he already continued "this space is what lies between life and death or Limbo as it is called" Dumbledore explained calmly.

The content of my stomach turned to led as the revaluation as to what happened to me sunk in for the first time, but I had to ask just to be sure "I am dead aren't I?" dread filled me just as the answers came "Yes, yes sadly you are" Dumbledore answered in a tone full of pity while nodding.

I sunk onto a bank that seemingly appeared out of nowhere, not that I cared much about it at the Moment, I just let my head fall in to my hands as everything finally made sense to me, I was dead, I just died. Dumbledore who just seated himself besides me stayed silent looking into the white space that began to look to me more and more like a familiar trainstation, but before the situation could become to much for me and my mind Dumbledore begun to speak oncemore.

"You amaze me, most that find themselves in this situation have a much harder time accepting or understanding their situation, but here you are" explained Dumbledore offhandedly clearly not expecting me to reply.

I took a moment to gather myself before I replied "I think I'm still in shock but considering what happened before, death was really the only option wasn't it?"

"You take this all in good health , then again dwelling on what was and what could have been is a good way to waist away the time you could have spend in the present" Dumbledore mused to himself still looking calmly about.

I marvelled at how Dumbledore—Ish that sounded just now. We both just sat there silent, Both looking about at the empty platform of the train station both thinking. That was until I spoke up again .

"What will happen to me now? I mean now that I'm dead and all?"

Before Dumbledore answered he gave me a fond smile, clearly not bothered by me asking so many questions "As you must have realised by now this is a train station, so I guess you could, you know board a train" Dumbledore suggested giving me a smile and a significant look before he stood up, just as a approaching train could be heard, he was already moving away When I looked back to where he was, as I had momentarily looked to where the sound of the train had come from.

"Where would it bring me?" My Question stopping the Professor momentarily as he turnt to face me again To speak "Forward" that was his only reply as he smiled at me again and began moves away again.

"Professor Dumbledore!" I called out to him and again he turned to me his only indicator he was listening a "yes?" followed up by a warm jet questioning smile. "What happened to the boy, the boy I was trying to save I mean?" I trailed off at the end but Dumbledore understood as he gave me a proud smile.

"Ah yes I have been wondering when you would come around to ask me said question, then again the best should always come last I suppose" Dumbledore said with his eyes twinkling. "Forgive me for my rambling, but as I was told old man like myself a prone to do so, Ah yes back to your question, you managed to indeed safe the boys life and while he is traumatised from the near death experience he will recover and is grateful for you saving his life, he is in fact courently visiting you grave" Dumbledore said in a calm yet sad tone clearly saddened by the fact he had just brought up the fresh wound that is my death.

And while I was again sad for myself I also was proud of myself as that meant my death was not in vain.

"I am going now„ Said Dumbledore clearly not waiting for another question as he continued his walk to the light, but before he could actually walk into the light I called out again.

"Professor?" again the professor turned to me but said nothing clearly waiting for me to continue "Professor Dumbledore thank you, for everything" In response the Professor just smiled at me dipt his head and bit me farewell "I am going now, goodbye Marvin" he said just before the light engulfed him as he walked backwards into it.

I took a deep breath, I was now alone on the platform but strangely I was no longer afraid, no I was ready to move on and just as I thought that a Text appeared in front of me in mid air, as if the universe itself tried to scare me one last time today.
