The University of Avalon
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 10
Angelo carried Sasporilla down a dark staircase into a very old subterranean set of chambers below Avalon. Sasporilla cried inconsolably at the loss of her friend Lyra as Angelo lowered her into a plush purple velvet arm chair at the head of an ancient round table. Sasporilla refused to let go of Angelo and only tightened her arms around the young mans neck.
"Please don't leave me." Sassy wept.
"I'm not going anywhere Sasporilla." The young wizard said trying to reassure her. "I'll stay with you as long as I can."
Sasporilla picked her head up, looked through her tears into Angelo's chocolate brown eyes, and moved her lips towards his.
"No!" Angelo yelled pulling away from Sasporilla. "I'm sorry Sasporilla but we can NOT kiss."
"What?" Sasporilla wept. "Why?"
"To do so will unravel the universe as we know it today," the Voice of Merlin said as the old wizard said as he walked into the chamber followed by professor Jacobi and a struggling bound and gagged Melvin Lazarus, "that's why."
"Melvin!" Sasporilla called out trying to get to her feet as ornate knot work on the arm of the chair entwined around her forearms and bound her in place. "What are you doing to my Melvin?"
"Come now Ms.Bucket." Merlin said sitting in a chair on the far side of the table. "You can't still believe that this is YOUR Melvin Lazarus, can you?"
"What are you talking about?" Sasporilla said confused. "Of course he is! "
Professor Jacobi ungagged the boy who tried to bite him. "What's going on? What do you people want? Who are you?"
"Melvin did they hurt you?" Sasporilla asked.
"Who are you?" Melvin Lazarus demanded! "I don't know any of you! I'll tell my mother! She'll...."
With a wave of Merlin’s wand Melvin went stiff and silent. "Obliviate this from his memory."
"What is going on!!!" Sasporilla screamed hysterically. This was like a nightmare from which she could not awake.
"Please try and calm down Sasporilla." Angelo begged her. "Are these bindings really necessary Merlin?"
"You know they are until she learns the full truth and calms down." Merlin said. "Until then she's too dangerous. She always was a good scrapper."
Sasporilla seethed with anger for a moment until the reality that not only her struggles but the snap of her elf magic had no effect. Sassy took a deep breath and tried as hard as she could to calm down and stop crying for a few moments. She would hear what the old wizard had to say.
"Ok." Sasporilla said. "Tell me what is going on please. I'm listening."
"Do you remember when I saw you at the station?" all three men said in unison there eyes aglow with blue energy, "You were already on the shuttle and I was on the platform holding a pink pygmy puff?"
"What do you all mean you were?" Sasporilla asked. "Melvin was."
"I am MELVIN LAZARUS." All three men announced.
The world began to spin and went black. When Sasporilla awoke Merlin, Professor Jacobi and the still petrified Melvin, and Angelo sat across the ancient round table gazing at her with compassion and concern.
"Welcome back Ms.Bucket." Merlin smiled.
"Hey man," professor Jacobi smiled as he poured himself a drink from his thermos. "Glad to see your like, conscious... man."
"Are you all right Sasporilla?" Angelo asked pouring the pink haired witch a goblet of water and bringing it to her. Placing it gently to her lips to drink. She accepted it gladly. Sasporilla found her throat dry.
"Thank you." Sasporilla said.
"Perhaps it would be better if I started the explanation." Merlin said. "Then we'll all take turns. Yes?"
"Agreed." Angelo smiled sitting in next to Sasporilla taking her hand. He truly hated her hands being bound.
"Ya man, go ahead." The crunchy old hippie professor Jacobi smiled.
"The attempt on your life today was in no way the witch queens first." Merlin said. "Everything was going wrong that morning. I was trying to get to see you off. Korry Curtis was helping me! We snuck in through the baggage area and I came up some old steps. I found an old witch conveniently selling romantic baubles and things. She convinced me to buy that pygmy puff. Just the same colour as your hair. I never suspected that the old witch was the Witch Queen. I certainly didn't think the pygmy puff was a bomb!"
"A bomb?" Sasporilla asked in disbelief. Thinking back she remembered the bright light and slight jostle as the shuttle took off but she just assumed that was a natural part of the flight.
"Yes." Angelo frowned. "A time turner that over loaded and exploded."
"But the effects of that would...?" Sasporilla couldn't even fathom.
"Blew me into the time vortex." Merlin said. "Swirling eddies of temporal energy. A constant spiral of timey-wimey stuff spinning seemingly out if control. Like a giant storm with me in center of it. Then suddenly I found myself on the floor of a time ship. A time ship that crashed together with 3 other time ships. All of the pilots were named the Doctor. All the same Doctor, but from four different times you see. The only way to pull them apart involved me. (See story TIMB BOMB)"
"Oh Melvin." Sasporilla sighed.
"I put my life on the line and what we did worked! So I thought." Merlin laughed. "When the time ships pulled apart I snapped back into the one with the oldest Doctor. I must have passed out because when I awoke he left me in medieval England. To make my way amongst a savage world and try to become the greatest wizard of all time. The rest, of course is, history."
The bonds unwrapped from Sasporilla's wrists. She lifted her arms and rubbed some feeling back into them. "I'm so sorry Melvin, that an attempt on my life did that to you. But I still don't understand how the rest of you are also Melvin?"
"Well, When the time ships separated man," professor Jacobi said getting up and walking around the room in an animated fashion. "I bounced back into the ship with the younger doctor in the long brown coat. The one they called number ten, man. He was a wild dude man. I traveled with him for a while. We had a couple of cool adventures, man. Then he dropped me of at Ilvermorny in sixty three man. NINTEEN SIXTY THREE!!!"
Professor Jacobi took a big gulp straight from his thermos. Sasporilla suspected people were right. There was more in that thermos than coffee or soup.
"Well man, I'll tell you." Jacobi continued crunching on ice. "I've seen some life man. I've seen a muggle walk on the moon. Seen Hendrix play at Woodstock. I was there the day a muggle killed Lenon man. LENON! That wizard rocked man!!!! But beyond it all I knew I could never go home! I knew I could never be Melvin again! I knew my Sasporilla would never want me this way??? Like a drunken, burned out, old man??? I hated myself. Wanted to ended it."
"Oh Melvin." Sassy cried.
"No tears Sassy, man." Jacobi said. "Merlin found me. Gave me purpose. Explained it all to me. Told me my purpose in all this and what I had to do. So I went became a teacher. Taught you. Cared for you the best way I could."
"I'm sorry Melvin." Sasporilla said. "For not knowing."
"When the time ships separated," Angelo said, "I was thrown into the female Doctors Tardis. I guess she got me the closest to home. She brought me right back to the estate but it was the wrong year. My parents couldn't believe their eyes. My mother rejected me, but my father accepted me! He sent me to Durmstrang. Told me to take the name he wanted to call me but my mother would not allow! Angelo. I was with the Durmstrang delegation fir the triwizard tournament."
"Why didn't you say something?" Sasporilla asked.
"Because you didn't know us yet." Merlin said. "And I got to him first. I explained what would happened if he were to talk to you. Sweep you off your feet. Fall in love and kiss you."
"What is all this about a kiss?" Sasporilla asked.
"A kiss is very powerful magic." Merlin said.
"Love magic, man." Jacobi smiled. "Most powerful and oldest form of magic."
"You see." Angelo explained. "When the time ships pulled apart they pulled your Melvin Lazarus Apart and created all of us. We are him, but we are, at the same time not him."
"Including the little one who's petrified?" Sasporilla asked.
"Yes." Merlin added angry with Angelo for telling the truth so succinctly. "The painting you saw and the statue would be more accurate representations of your Melvin."
"Explain?" Sasporilla insisted.
"The original Melvin Lazarus was left, abandoned in the time vortex. A shadow of reality twisted and maddened." Merlin said.
"Can I save him?" Sasporilla asked.
"You can bring him back from the vortex man," professor Jacobi said, "but he'll never be the same. If you let him go man. It'll be peaceful man."
"Shut it!" Sasporilla ordered Jacobi. "Tell my options. With rules and consequences."
"Sasporilla," Angelo said taking the young witches hand and looking into her beautiful pure eyes, "A kiss of any one of us will cement that persons timeline and destroy the others. There will be micro changes throughout history caused by your choice depending on who you choose."
Sasporilla looked around at all four of them sizing up her choices. Who would she kiss? Would she choose to kiss any of them???
"If you choose to kiss the piece of art work," Merlin said levitating a painting up and hanging onto the rock wall behind him, "that was lent to us by professor Splatterpalette, you will free your Melvin Lazarus from the time vortex. A twisted mass of flesh, driven mad by the endless eons of torture he has endured. The choice will be yours. We will now plead our cases individually with you."
With that Merlin sat back in his seat.
Professor Jacobi was first up. He poured himself a drink a took a nice sip. From the thermoses plastic cup.
"I was teacher." Jacobi began. "A roadie for the Weird Sisters for a tour, a potions assistant for a time, a bus driver, a Somalia. I a man of many talents and have value still. I'm worth consideration, though I don't think I hold up much hope man. Sasporilla, I do remember something about you and know my mom took most of it from me. Understand though dude... what were we talking about?"
Merlin stood slowly, dramatically. "I am the Merlin. Greatest of wizards. Creator magi society, laws and rules as we know them. Most powerful of all magi and leader of the table round in the absence of Arthur. You must choose me. If you don't, the witch queen will have no one to stand in the way of her reign of terror!"
"It seems to me she has no one now?" Sasporilla said coldly.
Merlin sank back into his chair waiving his wand freeing the boy from his petrifaction.
"Please miss." Melvin begged. "I don't what they're talking about? I'm Melvin Lazarus! Me! I'm not Merlin or some old drunk dude!!! Please kiss me and let me go. These guys are just psycho!"
Professor Jacobi stuffed a bandana in the boys mouth but allowed him to stay conscious and unparalyzed. "Now be a good little fellow and play nice, man." Jacobi laughed.
Sassy looked at Angelo who sat beside her. "Well?"
"Me?" Angelo said surprised. "No don't pick me. I'm no one important. You have to pick Merlin, he leads the Rebellion. I would gladly sacrifice myself for you and the people of Avalon."
"Ok then," Sasporilla said. "Any last words?"
"As much as my mother destroyed my memories of you. As much as time has messed with them. Even though in my reality Vincent Lazaro was Vinny Lazar I still remember being him. I remember the shows. I remember the festival where I thought for a second I saw you. Myron helped me find a love witch to help restore my love for you. It still had one step to go. I wish it could have happened because I know in my heart of hearts that I love you. That's why you must choose Merlin over me."
Sasporilla stood and did the one thing no one expected her to do. She walked towards the painting shifting and twisting. She heard the moans and screams that came from within. A tear ran down Sasporilla's face as she saw the face of her dear Melvin shift between the four of them in sliding cubic form. Knowing the statue outside the Art and design building was just as tortured and twisted. As the painting formed almost a full face it's message screamed loud and clear. The Melvin trapped in the vortex begged for release. “Death.”
Sasporilla Bucket wept.
There was an explosion above them. The ancient subterranean chamber shook. Dust fell from cracks between the stone work and fell to the table top.
"It would seem the witch queen has found us!" Merlin said. "Time is of the essence Ms.Bucket. I'm afraid you must make your decision."
Voices could be heard in the upper tunnels. The sound of combat spells blasting back and forth echoed with the marching of Royal boots over running rebel positions.
"I encourage you to make haste Sasporilla." Merlin insisted.
Sassy knew she had only one choice. The one choice that was best for all parties considered. One chance to do the right thing. And with a kiss, her decision was made.
*******
Sasporilla awoke in her bed, in the arms of Angelo Lazarus. Her head filled with new memories. How they had met when he had come to Hogwarts with the Durmstrang students. How they made friends but lost touched after the tri-wizard tournament. How they met again in university and fell in love.
This was not the first night Angelo had slept over. Though they had never been intimate she had to admit, Sassy had to admit she enjoyed awaking in Angelo's arms.
Sassy remembered everything. The alternate versions and histories of Merlin and Professor Jacobi. She Especially remembered her Melvin who gave his life to save strangers in time to save everyone. In away she still had him. In a way.
"Good morning sleepyhead." Angelo said waking up and kissing Sassy on the cheek. "It's already quarter of eight! You've got a midterm at nine! Best get going!"
"Yes I should." Sasporilla smiled. " What do you remember about last night?" Sasporilla asked.
"There was more kissing than studying." Angelo smiled. "But don't blame me if you flunk your midterm!!!"
Sasporilla jumped out of bed as Angelo started to tickle her. Sassy walked across her room in her night shirt to the washroom.
"What test you have this morning?" Angelo asked.
"Art history, Oral exam." Sasporilla said. "With professor Splatterpalette."
"Nothing wrong with an oral exam." Angelo said.
"Dirty mind." Sassy laughed. "What's on your agenda for today?"
"I have meeting this morning." Angelo said walking over hugging his pink haired girl, "Lyra wants all cell leaders to report in today. New commander and all."
"Lyra?" Sasporilla gasped. "Lyra Lee-Ashwolf? She's alive????"
"Of course she's alive??? She's the public face of the rebellion in Avalon!"
Sasporilla danced for pure joy. Angelo wasn't sure why. Sasporilla understood so much now. Why Merlin had first made the laws and spread the taboo's about time magic. Obviously her choice had effected the timeline in some positive ways, but she wondered just what else had happened? Sassy understood why she chose Angelo when she saw Melvin's love for her in his heart. Most important that she would be the one who would who one day have to stand against her aunt Bougainvilllea, the witch queen of Avalon.
Angelo carried Sasporilla down a dark staircase into a very old subterranean set of chambers below Avalon. Sasporilla cried inconsolably at the loss of her friend Lyra as Angelo lowered her into a plush purple velvet arm chair at the head of an ancient round table.
