"How would you get a non magical to take a potion, without violating the ISS?" Sirius had to ask. |
"There are a few Pharmaceutical companies that employ Potions Masters. They find a way to keep the International Statute of Secrecy intact." |
Sirius shook his head. "The Pure bloods would never agree to that." |
"They don’t have to."Aditi grinned. |
"Oh by the Godess Sirius! All you could come up with is, huh? Listen to me dear. Who said we planned to tell them." Aditi turned back to Caleb. "I want him." |
"You haven’t taken an apprentice in many moons Lady Singh." Caleb was staring at her, with his arms crossed against his chest. |
She shrugged. "He has talent." Aditi had shared a bed with Caleb and his mate a few times before over a few decades. He did not intimidate her. |
Natasha rolled her eyes. Caleb had taken a serious interest in the children. He was very interested in not only the young one’s well being, but the place that they would go back to and watch them make a place for themselves wherever they may end up. "I have seen it too cousin. The boy is talented." |
"Fine." Caleb sighed, as he knew he was beat. Big Vampire ruler he may be, but the combination of femmes and witches scared the Hades out of him. Though he would never admit it of course. |
"Good. I am tired. I am horny as hell and I need fresh blood. If you’ll excuse me cousin." Natasha stood, bowed her head in her cousin’s direction and walked out of the door of his office. |
"That was awkward." Sirius looked at where Natasha had walked out of the door. |
"She didn’t approach you for relief?" Caleb asked, hiding his mirth. |
"Well. Yes." Sirius looked at his friend a bit apprehensive. |
"And?" Caleb had asked again. He was trying to hide a laugh, and so was everyone else. |
Sirius shuffled his legs in his chair. He was obviously nervous. "Well you see. It was the one time...ok twice, but we made it clear. Ok she made it clear it was purely physical, and was just a good time between friends." Sirius, the proud Pure Blood found a sudden interest in his feet. Caleb was going to kill him. |
Said vampire burst out laughing. He was actually holding onto his stomach. "She is a femme!" He said between laughing and crying. |
Sirius jerked his head up at the sight of not only Caleb trying to catch his breath, but the others as well. "What in Hades is so funny?" Sirius asked. |
Lauren recovered first. "Vampires are known as great problem solvers. They can out match any witch or wizard in Arithmancy and Ancient Runes. Most vamps know more ways on how to fight than just about anyone. They’re old as hell after all." Lauren dodged a plastic bowl thrown at her her arm. "As I was saying Sirius. She... |
"You’re not mad at me my friend?" Sirius looked Caleb square in the eye. |
Caleb laughed once more. "I would have been more offended if you didn’t have sex with her." |
Sirius let out a breath. "Can we change the subject please?" He was not used to all of this openness about sex. |
"Don’t worry. She didn’t change you into a vampire. She just...took what she needed." |
Sirius waved his hand in a dismissive gesture. "She told me what would happen when we...well you know." He switched topics. "Your opinion of Fred’s talent." |
"He is already being head hunted. Natasha had put out a feeler to a few Charms Masters that she knew of. All FIVE of the ones that she had spoken to want him. The Australian Magical Service has offered him an apprenticeship." |
Caleb stared at Lauren like she had gone insane. "That’s not possible. They have not offered anyone non Australian a position in two decades!" |
"I know, but Natasha has spoken with the Chief Of Operations for the Charms and Experimental Magic department and they think he would make an excellent candidate for their initial trials programme." |
Caleb shook his head at Lauren’s words. "This will not work. They are twins who are so embedded in each other’s emotions and magic, that to separate them would be almost cruel." Caleb held up his hand when Cara made to interject. "I am not doubting the work you went through for them to see themselves as individuals as ... |
"How about this." Fred chimed into the discussion from his position next to his brother, just inside the door. Both of them had their arms crossed across their chest, and completely straight faces. |
"You tell Freddie and I in the first place..." |
"And we make our own decision." They finished together. They were mad that once again people were making decisions about their lives, but they were also hurt that they were not consulted. Caleb could read the emotions coming from them. |
Cara stood and approached the boys, and a look of hurt flashed across her face as they both shrugged her away, and stepped around her. |
"Our mother has our lives planned out nicely at the Ministry." George started out. |
"We would appreciate having a say in our own future." Fred finished |
Sirius stood and walked to them. He ignored the flinch and placed his hands on their shoulders. "So. Tracking and listening charms?" |
"Uh yeah." Fred responded a bit hesitantly. |
Sirius grinned. "And how did you accomplish that in a room full of Masters and Mistresses of their chosen fields?" |
"Well. I developed this potion that could bypass vampire biology that would mask our magic and scent..." George started. |
"The charm to follow anyone including most magical species anywhere in a building without being detected..." |
"We kinda found you. Well the Rune circle helped us a lot to boost the signal of the listening charm." |
George had an idea. "You know brother mine. We should look at our notes again. I’ve got a new idea about following Death Eaters!..." |
"Georgie! That is an amazing idea oh dear twin of mine! Maybe if we tweaked the color changing combo again..." The brothers put their head together as they started to change and rework calculations with the paper and ink that they always kept on them, and... |
A shrill whistle came from Sirius. |
"Boys!" They both looked at Harry’s Godfather. |
"Yes?" They asked in unison. |
Caleb couldn’t help it. He burst out laughing. "This is why they all want you!" Caleb was having trouble catching his breath. "You two went from angry to tweaking spells and charms in less than three minutes! The talent between the two of you is amazing to watch." It took a while for Caleb to sober from his laughing. "... |
"We want to weigh all of our options..." |
"...Research the various masters available to us..." |
"Qualifications and such things." |
"I think that’s smart of you boys! The world won’t know what hit them." Sirius laughed. |
"I agree." Said Caleb. "If we are done with the serious part, let’s talk about something much more fun. Harry’s birthday." |
"Bloody hell." All three British citizens in the room cursed. |
"Some godfather I am. I completely forgot." |
George put his hand on Sirius’ shoulder. "We all did, and I’m willing to bet that Harrykins did too." |
Cara could see Sirius getting upset and intervened. "Sirius, what’s done is done. Harry wouldn’twant you blaming yourself. Hell I know my husband loves me, but I had to resort to buying a huge calendar the month of my birthday, and circling it in damn red! And we’ve been together longer than you’ve been alive!" Cara le... |
Leo had the good graces to blush and look away. But at least it made Sirius chuckle. |
Caleb continued. "As I was saying. I would like to not only have a party here, but something in Harry’s letters got to me. He has sent me drawings of many things, but most of all where what pictures of what he thinks the ocean looks like." |
"What do you mean think?" George asked. |
"I mean George that although Harry lives on an island, he has never actually seen the sea. He talked about it often when he wrote to me. I would like to give him the chance to enjoy the beach while he is still here in Brazil. I own a home on a secluded beach near a small magical community. I would like to offer it to y... |
Sirius walked over to Caleb and grasped his forearm, and Caleb returned the gesture. "You honor me my friend. Thank you." |
Caleb put his other hand on Sirius’ shoulder. "You’re welcome." |
Everyone parted ways, to their individual rooms. They all soon found themselves fast asleep. |

The next day after breakfast, the teens spent an hour going over what they had learned from their simulation. |
Caleb commended Harry for his feelings about taking a life, but told him what everyone else had told him. Sometimes it was necessary. He also gently scolded them for not making sure the opponents they took down before rescuing "Sirius’, were no longer truly a threat. After all. If your opponent is merely injured, they ... |
With that gentle dressing down it was time to reveal a few things that were much more fun. |
Caleb looked to Harry. "Little one. I have made arrangements for a special gift for your birthday." |
Harry tilted his head in confusion, then widened his eyes. "I completely forgot!" He would be fifteen tomorrow if he was correct about the date. |
Caleb continued. "I have arranged for you to spend a week at a house that I own overlooking the Atlantic ocean and..." Caleb had a dark haired missile launched at him screaming thank you over and over again, while his t shirt was getting wet from said missile crying into his chest. Caleb held the boy as he cried. He lo... |
Harry had calmed down after a bit. Caleb handed him a cloth to clean himself up with. "Sorry." He muttered from his position on Caleb’s lap. |
Caleb merely squeezed him, while he held him in his arms. "The other surprise, which I’m sure all three of you will love, Sirius most likely more than anyone else. I’ve arranged for an all expenses paid trip to Disney Land in California in the United States. |
Harry said the most articulate thing that he could think of, as he stared at Caleb like he had lost his mind. "Whoa." |
That however was not as crazy as his godfather. He was currently dancing around Fred and George. "...and they have a mouse that talks, and something called a roller coaster, and games and rides with water, and a mermaid that sings above water...I think, and there’s a duck that talks too! And..." |
"Is he alright?" Leo came to stand next to Harry and Caleb. |
"No matter what therapy I can give to him, he will always be a big kid at heart." Cara, who came to stand next to her husband smiled. Sirius had come a long way from his reckless ways, and abusive childhood. But here in the safety of friends, he could be who he truly was. But Cara knew that if the safety of his loved o... |
Natasha interrupted. "Yes Sirius we get it. Now we have a party to plan. Chop chop!" She clapped her hands in the same "let’s get on with it’ motion she always did. |

While the inhabitants of New Hope were planning an epic party, Minerva McGonagall was quite...confused would be the appropriate word. Two Hufflepuffs and three Ravenclaws and one Gryffindor, all soon to be sixth years, had declined to return to Hogwarts. She absently noted that they were all Muggleborns, but she was st... |
"Minerva. What brings you here at this hour?" Albus was still very much afraid to get on the witch’s bad side after she broke his jaw. |
"Relax Albus. I am here on school business. I have received six letters of withdraw from some of the most promising students in the school." |
Albus Dumbledore scanned the letters and saw that they were all Muggleborns. He stroked his beard. "Curious." |
"Yes. Curious. What are we going to do about it? There has never been this many students withdraw at one time." Minerva snapped. |
"Why don’t we go to visit the children and ask why they have withdrawn? It may give us a sense of the issue." Albus hedged. |
Minerva nodded. "I’ll be ready in ten minutes." |
Ten minutes later saw them both with very old fashioned clothing ready to leave Hogwarts. Minerva took his arm and they apparated into the back yard of Melissa Cantamoore. Minerva knocked politely on the back door. She took in the fact that the yard looked far more sparse than on her first visit, back when Miss Cantamo... |
The door was answered by a blonde man with long hair that was pulled into a tail. His brown eyes narrowed on McGonagall. |
"What." He said in a cold tone that took the Headmaster back a bit. |
Minerva rallied. "My apologies for startling you, but we wish to inquire as to why your daughter does not wish to return to school." |
Paul Cantamoore raised a brow. "You really have the nerve to ask me that question?" |
Albus Dumbledore was completely floored by the anger that was coming from this Muggle. "Believe me sir, we have no idea why..." |
"My daughter was raped last year. After she came home for the Christmas holidays, she told us everything. She’s taken her OWLs now, and we’re leaving. She’s told us about your so called Dark Lord, and I know she has a target on her head because she’s a Muggleborn. She is already at her new magical school on the contine... |
Minerva put her hand to her mouth. "She was raped?" |
Paul hissed in her face. "Yes! She told me that she tried to ask for help from her housemates, but was quickly told that he was from some noble house and that the law didn’t care. We have her in counseling to deal with the rape, and she is turning back into the girl we used to know who was so full of life, before we go... |
Minerva turned to Albus. "What is going on at Hogwarts, that we don’t know when our students need us the most?" |
"I...we should leave." Albus looked so sad as he cast notice me not charms on both him and Minerva and left the home of the Cantamoores. |
It was almost the same at every place they visited. Except most of the families had left completely by the time that they had got there. The houses were empty. In the house of Theresa Lindon however, their was a note on the curtain of the front window, that was inside the house. "I hope wizarding Britain falls. My fami... |
"What have we done?" Minerva whispered with a hand over her mouth. |
"We should get back to Hogwarts." Minerva held up her hand with practiced ease, and they both found themselves in his office. |
"Leave me. Minerva." Albus said lowly as he turned to Fawkes the Phoenix and petted the bird absently, as he stared out of the large window near to his desk. |
Minerva had no problem making a hasty exit as the tears sprung to her eyes. |
Fawkes was sad that the Headmaster had become so low in his feelings. Fawkes knew that the current Headmaster was on the brink between the light and the truly dark. He had made many decisions that could be counted as dark, but he had good intentions at the time. Fawkes would watch this wizard for as long as needed. He ... |
