'It's not easy to fail a test in which one was given the answers prior to the exam' Remus thought as he graded his year 5's exams. He gave them a handout a week before the test with pages so they could fill it out. He then went over the answers days before. 'What am I doing wrong?' He sighed, and dropped his quill on the desk. He leaned forward, elbows on the desk and hands over his eyes and then... he's fell. Is that an accurate description?
Remus awoke and looked around. There were trees all around him and the clearing. He rubbed his head and and then drew his wand, and looked all around him once more. He was upright, so maybe he didn't fall. 'Am I dreaming?' he wondered. He took a step and it didn't feel like he was dreaming. Remus saw some men in the distance and cocked his head to the side; he saw they were talking amongst themselves. They didn't seem to be a threat.
He took a hesitant step towards them, 'don't be paranoid, Lupin... you're a fully trained wizard' crossed his mind. As he walked towards them he took in things around him. It certainly was warmer here than the castle was. There was some sort of ... bird in the sky overhead. 'Must be a huge bird.'
Remus approached the men, "excuse me..."
He had clearly caught them off guard, although they didn't seem too surprised to see him. "Hello. Welcome to Zealandia," the taller one began. "I'm Mark and this is Michael, we're security guards here. May we have your name?" Mark asked, taking out a strange looking device, ready to get his information.
Remus stood with his mouth agape some, he shut it and then opened it again to speak. "Remus Lupin. I'm where?"
"Zealandia. In your world it's New Zealand but as we're in the past, it's Zealandia," Michael said as if it's common knowledge.
"Mr. Lupin, if you'll get in our vehicle we can take you to headquarters and meet with one of our leaders, you may know him - Kingsley Shacklebolt." It was Mark's turn to speak.
Remus stared at the pair of them as if they have lost their mind. "What? I don't think I'll go anywhere with either of you right now." As he finished, Mark's datapad rang.
"Please Sir, I know this seems crazy. If you come with us everything will be explained. It's a long story. And Kingsley seems to know everyone who randomly appears here."
"Indeed I do," a voice came from behind the two men as Kingsley walked up to them. "Remus. Good to see you."
Remus blinked a couple times, "Kingsley. Why aren't you with the muggle Prime Minister?"
Kingsley chuckled; that was a lifetime ago, "It's a long story, as Mark here has said. You're safe here. Come, friend. You've a lot to learn," he says and directs Remus to the nearby vehicle.
Remus looked from Kingsley to the vehicle and back. He shrugged as if to say 'Why not'. It wasn't like they tried to disarm him and it didn't look like they were going to either. That was definitely a relief.
"Buckle up and hold on, Remus. It will be rough," Kingsley said, getting in the vehicle he had somehow quietly driven up in.
~~~
Upon arrival at the facility, Remus got out and was very glad to be on non-moving surfaces. "Rough was an understatement, Kingsley." He looked up to the building they were parked at. It looked like a house. 'What a strange place...'
