Remus and Sirius had just left Harry at the tower with the twins. They were just making their way back to the apparition point just outside of the gates. Sirius had been discussing getting Harry to a safe place to relax and heal from the trauma he had just been through. With his current orders of getting himself healed... |
"It’s for your own good my friend. I trust you with my life Moony, but it’s not safe. The fewer who know the better." |
"Very well Padfoot. But be sure to keep him safe, and if you can, get him trained. I’ve failed him Sirius, and Moony is howling within me to protect the cub." |
"I failed him too all those years ago. But not this time. This time I will do right by my brother, his wife, and their son...my godson. And you Moony. We are what is left of your pack, and I won’t leave you behind willingly. I failed you too you know, but for now we focus on Harry." |
"Needless to say, he will know a lot of new things when he comes back to us." Remus cleared his throat after replaying that memory. If he couldn’t help Harry wherever he was at the moment, he made a vow to help his closest friends. "Please know this Hermione. The House of Black is strong in what is known as the Dark ar... |
"But those are Dark! It takes a dark soul to cast such evil magic." |
"Were you aware of the wards that surround Harry’s home?" Remus asked. |
"Yes. They were put up for Harry’s protection." |
"They are blood based based on his mother’s blood. Blood that she used in a ritual to save his life. Are you saying that Lily Potter was evil? What about the Headmaster? He was the one that put the wards in place." |
"I never...looked at it that way I suppose, but the books that I have read..." |
Andromeda gave an uncharacteristic soft snort. |
Remus looked at Andromeda. "You have your work cut out for you." |
"Obviously." Andromeda deadpanned, and then gracefully stood. "Remus, do you have a place to duel, I would like to see where she is magically and physically so that I can get a baseline of her skill. Hermione I know this may come as a surprise to you, but books do not tell you everything. And in the wizarding world the... |
"Why would the authors lie?" |
"Prejudice of course. Most pure blood families have their own libraries. Keeping information from the masses keeps them weak and needing the Wizengamot to run their lives. Knowledge is power, and there is nothing the Wizengamot and the Ancient families love more than power." Andromeda said as they followed Remus out of... |
Remus led them out of the room and down the hall to the left. He came to a door that led to the basement, and ushered the adult Grangers and the Tonks family behind the shield. He cast a spell to reinforce the shield against spells that might hit it. He removed his robes and Hermione did the same. |
"I will show you proper dueling techniques, but for the most part during your training this summer, I will show you magical fighting. If you find yourself surrounded by Death Eaters the rules go out the window. You need to learn how to put them down and make sure they stay down." Remus said. |
Hermione looked to her parents then back at Remus. "You want me to learn how to kill someone?" |
"I want you to learn how to defend yourself." |
"Remus I don’t think I could kill anyone." |
Remus walked up to Hermione and guided her over to where the others are sitting. Remus addressed the elder Grangers. |
"I told you that the Death Eaters were magical terrorists. What I didn’t tell you, and what I suspect your daughter doesn’t know was how they terrorize people." Remus took a breath and continued. Their favorite form of torture is the Cruciatus curse. The youngest known victim of the curse cast by them is nine months ol... |
Hermione sucked in a deep breath, while Ted explained to the Grangers what the curse was. They were equally horrified. |
"Yes Hermione. They frequently use curses to peel the skin from your flesh. Dan. They would take pleasure in placing you under a curse called the Imperius, which completely controls your mind and masterbate while they force you to rape your daughter. They would then kill you and pass your wife around for more "fun’. Th... |
Hermione ran into a corner and threw up. She knew that they tortured and killed people, but the levels at which they stooped to, her mind just couldn’t comprehend such depravity. |
Dan was just as stunned as his daughter, but managed to keep down his breakfast. "And some of these people are in your government?" |
Remus looked at Andi. "Yes, though not that many. The ones in power finance that side of the war. Or they make laws that run in their favor. What you should consider is that although there are not many marked supporters in the government, there are plenty who agree with most of the ideals." |
Remus then turned to Hermione. "My intention of telling you all of this is to arm you with the knowledge of what you are up against. There are two types of Death Eaters. One type are the ones who truly believe that the muggle and magical world should be separate completely. They fear muggle borns will usurp their autho... |
Hermione began to sit up in protest. |
Remus held her off with a hand up to her. |
"You only have to look at Halloween. Do you not find it odd, that in a school full of witches and wizards that they celebrate Halloween and not Samhain?" Remus asked. |
"What does that have to do with it?" |
"Samhain was celebrated with fervor, and rituals full of life. But many years ago it stopped to make the muggle born feel more included. Now it is seen by some, especially on the light side as being barbaric. Many of our ancient rituals and ways of practicing magick have fallen out of favor." Andromeda cut in smoothly.... |
"That is just one celebration that has changed to fit a more muggle mindset, but we are getting off topic. The other type of Death Eater tortures, murders and rapes for the pure fact that they can. They enjoy it. They crave the power that they have over their victims, and no amount of begging will stop them. In fact it... |
Everyone watched Hermione as she began to pace. She had freshened her breath with a charm, and was now going over her options. She can turn and run, or she can stay and fight. |
"Mum. Dad. This is my homeland. This is where my roots are. Our family and our friends are here. If we don’t stop it here, then it will spread like a disease." Hermione raised her head defiantly and looked at Remus. "I want the best chance I can get to protect myself and my family. I cannot say that my first instinct w... |
Andromeda looked like her birthday had came twice in one week. "Oh yes my dear! In fact, the Black women have created at least four for that purpose." |
All the women chuckled as the men just winced and held their bits. |
"Alright Hermione. If you are sure, then let’s go back to our previous positions and we shall see where we need to start." They walked back to the dueling area. |
"Remus this place is massive. How on earth did you fit this within the boundaries of the property? How far underground are we?" |
It was huge. The dueling area was complete with spectator stands. There was an exercise area in the back to the right. There was an obstacle course, a door that said pool on it. There were what Hermione had learned were dueling dummies. There were blades of all types hanging from the wall near the exercise area. Remus ... |
"All I will say is this. Never tell a goblin that money is no option." Remus said with a smirk. |
All of the magicals burst out laughing. The Grangers looked confused. |
Ted chimed in. "Think of them as muggle real estate agents slash bankers. They will get you the flashiest thing at the highest price, so that they get the best commission." |
"Ah." Dan said and his wife chuckled. |
"Well Hermione. Let’s get started. Your objective is to dodge only for now. I will throw low level stingers at you, and you will try do dodge them." |
"I’m ready professor." |
But she wasn’t. As hard as she tried, she couldn’t keep up the stamina needed to duck, dive and jump. She was out of breath after two minutes, with the effects of stinging hexes all over her. |
"And stop." Remus ordered. Hermione was panting and gasping for air, bending over with her hands on her knees. |
Andromeda rushed to her and did a diagnostic scan. "She’s fine just not used to the exercise I’m afraid. Dan and Emma. I believe you now know what to do. She needs endurance first thing. Then build up her muscle mass." |
"Indeed. I will leave it up to you folks." Remus said as he watched Andromeda conjure a glass with some cool water in it and give it to Hermione. |
"That was so embarrassing." Hermione said between breaths. |
Dan put his right forefinger and thumb together just a fraction of a space apart. "A little bit peanut." |
"Well my dear. I suggest we start tomorrow morning. We’ll start with a nice run don’t you think?" Emma asked her husband. |
"Yes love, but first we need to check in at the clinic. We should sell our portion at cost and be done with it. We have more important interests now." Dan looked at Hermione, and Emma agreed. |
"As steward of the House of Black and Potter, I am authorized to help in any way that I can." Remus said. |
"My wife and I would be delighted to help you. I am a solicitor and have contacts in both worlds. Being married to a Slytherin always reminds you to have back up plans for your back up plan." |
Dan nodded. "I thank you. We may be muggles, but our daughter’s safety and happiness is all that matters to us now." Dan turned to his wife. "We could do some of that charity work we have been talking about. Especially when Hermione is back at school." Dan turned to his daughter. "Well come along little warrior. A meal... |
Remus watched them go. He turned to Andromeda. "Thoughts?" |
"Remus she has a very long way to go. She will fight me the entire way. I would like to have her in lessons for two hours a day, two days a week for the duration of the summer. Remus. I am sure that I do not have to tell you of the repercussions if this should fail." |
"I know Andi. I know. Suggestions?" Remus said wearily. |
"She is one of Harry’s best friends, so she will need to prepare to fight. She will also be a member of the House of Black and will need to comport herself accordingly." Andi stated. |
"Between her parent’s tutelage in stamina and what I suspect will be hand to hand combat added in, your training in magical combat, and my wife training her in how to blend in perfectly with society, I believe Hermione may soon find herself the most sought after witch in Britain. Not to mention she seems to have an eid... |
Remus chuckled to himself. "I want to try to bring in Ron Weasley." |
Andromeda and Ted looked at each other, and then back to Remus. "Remus. After everything that happened at Grimmauld Place, do you think that is such a good idea?" Ted asked. |
"More than anything, Molly wants her children to do well in school. I will just say that I am giving Hermione lessons to supplement the dismal DADA teachers that they have had in the past. Which in fact is the truth. They need the tutoring because their education in that department has been sorely lacking." Remus looke... |
"Ted. Could you be convinced to give Ronald one on one help with charms? He is quite smart and a dab hand at strategy according to Harry. But he is lazy. Harry thinks that it is because his older brothers have accomplished so much, that there is nothing left for him to achieve." |
"I will certainly give it a try." Ted replied. |
"Though I never received a mastery, I am well versed in potions. Do you believe that they could use my help in that regard as well?" Andromeda asked. |
"Have you ever met Severus Snape?" Remus asked. |
"No. I cannot say that I have met him formally. I have only heard rumors." Andromeda replied. |
"Trust me when I say that they could use your help. Severus is a brilliant man, and an amazing potions master. He is also a cantankerous, mean spirited, bitter man who hates his job. To be fair. My friends and I were in the same year as him. We were foul gits who tried to make his life hell. He never got over that bit.... |
"Why on earth does he teach if he hates it?" Ted asked. |
"Your guess is as good as mine." Remus shrugged and turned to Andromeda. "So Andi. Fancy a go a tutoring?" |
"I do love a challenge. And anyone raised by Molly Weasley is destined to be a challenging student." she replied. |
"Excellent! I will send word to Ronald quickly. How would do you foresee a schedule working?" |
"I will put Saint Mungo’s on notice that I will need Tuesdays and Thursdays off for personal reasons. I have tenure, so it will not be a problem." |
"Very well. Shall we go back upstairs and inform the Grangers? Ted asked. |
"Yes. I also want to ask Arned to make some of those delicious roast beef sandwiches for lunch. With a side of cucumber I think." Remus also hoped that Arned remembered his love of tzatziki. |
As if on cue, Arned popped in and bowed low. "Master Remus, Master Tonks, Mistress Tonks of the House of Black. Lunch is being served. Master Remus, there is extra cucumber for you." Arned bowed low again and popped away. |
"Gods I love that elf." Remus said with a goofy grin on his face. |
"No kidding." Ted and Andromeda said together. They both laughed at what their daughter named married people speak. The truth was that they both loved each other as much as they had all of those years ago in Hogwarts. Andromeda thought about the memory of their daughter catching them in the kitchen doing... well everyt... |
Andromeda startled at Ted snapping his fingers in front of her face. She jumped in her seat. |
"Are you alright dearest?" Ted asked concerned. |
"Fine. Just fine my love. When can we go home? I have something that I need...to do." Andromeda reached out and grabbed her husband’s arm as they all stood. She gave three subtle squeezes in rapid succession. It was their code that she needed to be bent over something and thoroughly debauched. |
Ted looked shocked, but he was never one to deny his wife. "Remus?" |
Remus could smell the arousal on Andromeda, but for the life of him couldn’t figure out why. Nothing that they had discussed was even remotely erotic. "Um. Well I could inform the Grangers of our plans if you have something important that you need to get to." |
Andromeda grabbed her husband’s hand. "That is an excellent idea. Tuesdays and Thursdays two hours a day." She called out behind her back as she ran up the stairs dragging a smirking husband. She was far from the graceful pure blood that she usually portrayed. |
Remus was confused, but he let it go. It was not his business. He shook his head in confusion and headed upstairs to write a letter to Ronald Weasley. |

Ted barely made it out of the floo before his wife was on him. She let down her hair and took off her outer robe. Her cheeks were flushed and she looked perfect to him. She had grabbed him roughly and dragged him to the kitchen. She threw him in a chair while she slowly stripped off her clothing. |
If the tightness of Ted’s pants was any indication, he was ready to do anything his wife wanted at the moment. But he was still curious as to what brought this on. Oh fuck! She trimmed it again. Focus. |
"Rommy. Not that I am complaining in the least bit." No one called her that but him. She was his Rommy. He was her Teddy in private. Fuck! He would never get enough of her. "My love. What brought this on?" |
"You and whip cream." She answered as she straddled him in the chair that he was sitting on. She started sucking at his pulse points on his neck and leaving marks as she rode his lap. He really should be naked by now she thought. |
Ted screwed his eyes up in concentration. "How did you..." Ted couldn’t speak because his wife slammed her lips onto his. Her tongue was requesting entrance and he gladly gave it. She was completely naked, and while one hand was on her arse, the other was playing with her left nipple. |
"I need you Teddy." Andromeda panted when she broke the kiss. |
Ted divested himself of his clothes with a wave of his hand. "And now you have me. Take what you need my love." Ted said with a lust filled grin on his face. |

Ron was sitting in the kitchen at Grimmauld place. He was going over the events of yesterday in his mind. Ron was lazy. Not stupid. He knew that now that Harry had someone in his life that put emphasis on doing well in school, Ron could either keep up or get left behind. |
But the problem is Ron never thought about doing well, because what could he do that his brothers hadn’t done. Bill is the epitome of cool; his job dangerous and adventurous. Same with Charlie and dragons. Percy is in some high up muckity muck job. And the twins? Well people may underestimate them because they joke aro... |
