Mmm, it could be fun to do something with the 'Dumbledore lets random people stay' thing if Embryon came through looking to be in their mid-teens instead of late-teens/early-twenties, where, perhaps
* Trelawny(or someone else) had a prophecy that pretty clearly indicates they need to stay,
* for some reason (perhaps a tie to beyond the Veil, perhaps they saved his, Ron, and Hermionie's lives) Harry's pitching for them to stay, or
* they're just plain too dangerous to let loose among the general citizenry, or
* something else came back through the Veil with them and they're specialized to fight them (Bat or Varin or such), or
* Harry would get in all kinds of trouble if the Ministry found out he'd been messing around with those kinds of spells and so Embryon's being hidden in plain sight, or, yeah, something like that.
I'm guessing Dumbledore would take every precaution he could, and that the Embryon would retreat to the Forbidden Forest for midnight snacks, since they can't very well munch on the kiddies.
I can write, and yes I can plot my way out of a wet paper bag, but I'm not an author so much as an artist. So I'd write maybe a few thousand words for this, max, as a fun thing to play with. On the other hand, it sounds like you could get eight or nine chapters out of this. *g*
and now I'm starting to have trouble getting words to look right, so I'm off to bed. Thank you for the input, by the way :)
