Carmen looked to Harry in confusion. "Care to explain?" |
Harry shrugged. "Werewolf." |
"Idiots. Your bias will be your downfall." Carmen murmured. "I’m done. I’ve said my peace." Carmen stood and gathered her supplies. "Professor Snape. Director Bones. A word?" |
Both looked at each other and nodded as they walked over to her. "Snape might I suggest Felix Felicis for the Aurors and our little arachnid issue?" |
"Loathe though I am to agree with you, you may be right." |
"Would the two of you care to explain what you’re talking about?" Madame Bones asked. |
"It’s simple Madame Bones." Carmen jumped up and down. "We’re taking out some big ass spiders!" |
They both watched as she jumped over towards Harry Potter. "Should I be worried?" The Director asked. |
"With her? Most definitely." Severus murmured. He made his way over to George Weasley to discuss help with the Felix Felicis. Although he was still mad at his godson, he would be tasked to help as well. |
Carmen stood on a conjured table and let out a shrill whistle to get everyone’s attention. "Oh professor Umbridge." She sing songed. |
"This can’t be good." Morpheus muttered. |
Carmen waited for everyone in the room to turn to her. "I just wanted to show you what that "filthy beast’ as you referred to Remus Lupin as was capable of teaching. You see some idiots in the Ministry for Magic decided that it was a great idea to put Dementors near a school filled with children. Lupin decided to teach... |
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry overpowered it, and a huge white fully corporeal massive dog came from his wand that looked just like his new dad’s animagus form. You could hear the steps on the floor as it walked to Harry to wait for instructions. Harry looked to Sirius, only to see him wide eyed with his eyes glistening. "... |
"You...you have a fully corporeal Patronus at fifteen?" Madame Bones asked. "Most adult wizards can’t get a fully corporeal one. How..." |
"Love. And I’ve been able to do it since I was thirteen." Harry turned to his dad. He didn’t want to lose it in the Great Hall. "Lord Black I shall correspond with you soon." He said formally. |
"I await your correspondence. Do try to stay out of trouble." |
Harry gave a proper bow, and walked out of the Great Hall. Sirius gave a short nod of his head at the Weasley twins to follow him, and they did so at a sedate pace. |
"Lord Black. I must apologize. I didn’t mean to upset him. It’s just that...that thing! She just makes me so mad and..." Carmen tried to get out. |
"You have nothing to apologize for. Remus is a dear friend of mine. My family I suppose. I know you have a connection to Harry. How is he?" |
"Confused mostly. He feels that his love for you, will make his other father hate him for betraying him. Although we both know that’s not true, he still feels that way and..." Before Sirius took down the privacy bubble, he turned to her. |
"I know you felt what I felt." He said plainly. |
"I did, but I won’t act on it for two reasons. I lost my husband and child some time ago. I thought I would never feel that aching need for love again. I had hoped I wouldn’t. But then you came along..." She shook her head. |
"The second reason?" Sirius asked. |
"I love Harry very much. He means the world to me. And right now, he needs you more than anything. The feeling between us will fade in time. I have my work, my big brother, my little brother. I’ll be fine, and so will you." She hesitated but felt the pull to tell him everything. "I...dream of you. Of what could happen ... |
Sirius was about to reply when their conversation was halted by people banging on the privacy shield. |
Sirius took the bubble down and was accosted by a cacophony of sound. Madame Marchbanks was attempting to hit Dolores Umbridge with her cane. Bones and Yaxley were berating Albus for suggesting Lockhart, while Albus pointed out that everyone agreed to the post. Sirius was glad to see that all of Harry’s close friends h... |
Lucius gave a nod in his direction as he tried to hide a sneer at Carmen. "I would like to speak with you about the wizarding customs class that you proposed." |
"Really?! That is amazing. This school really needs one. I mean come on. Halloween and not Samhain? What about the Harvests when our magic is strongest. Rituals that can be..." |
A throat cleared to her right. "Carmen. Why don’t we let these two politicians do their thing?" |
"Huh? Oh I’m doing the thing again where I..." |
"Yes. Excuse us gentlemen." Morpheus gave a nod in their direction and guided his sister away. |
Once the brother and sister team left, Sirius turned to Lord Malfoy |
"What do you want Malfoy?" |
"We have similar goals Black. I would like to renew that allegiance." |
"My interest in preserving our culture is about as far as we agree Malfoy. It’s the how you and your ilk go about it that disgusts me. Good day." Sirius gave a minute nod in dismissal. |
"You have no idea who you are dealing with Black." Malfoy turned and stormed off looking for his son. |

Dolores Umbridge knew that Cornelius was mad when after he asked her to floo to his office he threw his hat and cloak to the floor and downed a finger of firewhiskey in one gulp. "Cornelius I..." |
"Be quiet. Your instructions were clear. I wanted you to dumb them down a bit but not completely. For Merlin’s sake woman even the Purebloods are against you now! You were supposed to be my eyes and ears in the school. With your petty scheming, you have nearly cost us all our jobs. You will teach the brats something wh... |
"Yes Minister." Dolores answered meekly, but inside she was seething. How dare that Yank bitch come into their country and ruin their good name. |
"Then you may go." |
Dolores nodded and flooed back to Hogwarts with a new mission in mind. |

He sacrificed himself for him and this was the thanks that Harry gave him. He continued to cry as he felt George wrap is arm arou... |
Dobby had taken it upon himself to pop his friends inside. Carmen had added him to the list of "safe’ elves. |
As his sobs began to subside, it was Neville who was sitting next to Ron at the foot of his bed, that spoke. |
"That. Is. Enough. Potter." |
Harry’s head snapped in Neville’s direction. "Your father was my godfather. I was able to find some of my dad’s journals, and do you know what they said?" |
Harry shook his head in between all of the cuddles he was receiving. |
"Sirius was his brother in all but blood. They all knew that they could die, since they chose to fight. I know for a fact, that your parents wanted Sirius to take you in and raise you as his own if the worst happened. The fact that your Patronus has changed doesn’t mean you love the idea of James Potter any less, it ju... |
And now Harry felt like shite thinking about Neville’s own parents. He made to sit up and apologize, but Neville stopped him. |
"My parents are all but dead that is true. And what blood family I do have might as well be when I turn sixteen. But you and I brother. You and I chose our own family. One that we know is fierce and loyal." He turned to Ginny and held out a hand, which she took. "My Fire Ruby. So brave, beautiful, smart, caring." He lo... |
"Here! Here!" Harry echoed with a watery smile. He didn’t notice that someone had summoned Dobby. |
"Hermione Granger. My soul sister. I feel like we are both magical orphans. You because of the status of your birth. Making your way in this new world. Smart as any Ravenclaw, but fierce as any Lion. Strong enough to take on Malfoy and his ilk and come out stronger. Me because the status of my homelife. By the way. Yul... |
"Luna Lovegood. So many people underestimate you to their downfall. You will always have me as your brother at your back." |
"Ronald Weasley. You loudmouth, snoring, git. If there was anyone aside from Harry I wanted fighting at my side it would be you. You can see five moves ahead of you and that makes you priceless." Neville winked. |
"Some of us have made our own family. Some of you are devoted to your own kin as well." Neville continued." Dobby had appeared with a tray of small glasses of wine and everyone took a glass. |
Harry thanked whoever created house elves, because there was a glass of grape juice for him. |
"To family both new and old. May the Gods and Goddesses bless them wherever they may be." |
"To family!" Luna called out as she raised her glass. |
"To family!" Everyone copied her |
"To family." Sirius called out with a smile. |
Harry’s head snapped up and stared at Sirius as everyone moved off the bed to give Harry room to get up. He passed his glass to Hermione. |
Harry hugged him fiercely. "I’m sorry Siri. I was just confused. I love you so much. I really do." |
"I know kiddo. James was my brother in all but blood. He will always be your father. But like Neville said there is room enough for both of us." Sirius grabbed his cheeks and kissed his forehead. |
"Everyone better get ready for curfew." Sirius warned. |
"Oh Shite!" Was the collective gasp as everyone rushed to have Dobby pop them out. |

Most people would not notice, but Draco was in pain. "Mr. Weasley. Would you leave us for a few moments? I will summon you shortly.... |
Severus summoned a pain potion and a bruise paste just in case. "How bad?" He asked. |
"I can handle it Professor." Draco tried to snarl but then winced. |
"You can either show me willingly, or I could force you." Severus stated in a low drawl. He knew that there would be consequences for Draco’s behaviour, but he had hoped it wasn’t too bad. |
"Fine." Draco bit out. As he began to lower his trousers and take off his robes and shirt, Severus locked and warded the doors. |
When Severus saw the bruising and the welts to The Malfoy scions lower back and buttocks, he began his work immediately. The welts almost disappeared shortly after the first potion. The bruising lessened, but would need the cream applied for the next two days. He then gave Draco a localized numbing potion and then a pa... |
"You should have come to me." |
"I’m surprised you still care." Draco snarked. |
Severus merely raised a brow. "You are my Dragon. No matter how stupid you act. The consequences of my not mentioning Saint Potter’s little rant would spell death for us both." |
Draco’s head snapped up. "What?" |
"The Dark Lord told your father to take you in hand or he will." Severus sighed. "The Dark Lord is not a patient task master. What your father did to you would pale in comparison. Choose wisely my Dragon. Now to business." He unlocked the door and took down the wards. With another flick of his wand the doors opened. "E... |
George had a fleeting look of concern as he looked at Draco, but he masked it. |
"The Aurors are going to attempt to take out the Acromantula colony in the Forbidden Forest. That...woman LaVaunt suggested..." |
"Liquid Luck." The blonde and the red head both stared at each other as they said it together. |
"I’m glad to see my faith has not been misplaced. Now..." |
Severus went over what the two were to do and when between classes. "We are brewers. House Rivalries end at the door." Both boys nodded at each other and refined their schedule as the potion took at least two weeks. |
"Rise Lucius and tell me about the meeting." The Dark Lord stated firmly from his throne." |
"If I may be so bold as to show you the memories in the pensieve my lord? It would give a better impression of that...woman." Lucius had to try hard not to growl." |
"You may." Voldemort watched as Lucius summoned a house elf to bring the pensieve. "I wonder what about the witch made him so unhinged’ he mused. |
Voldemort watched with rapt attention as the woman put down Umbridge without batting an eye. After Malfoy and Black’s discussion ended he pulled himself out of the memory and sat down. |
"She could be trouble Lucius. She is passionate about the health, safety and education of all magical children; including the filth." |
"You will find out who the pureblood children are that are being abused and offer them your protection. It is easier to sway people to the cause if they feel they have a way out of a desperate situation." |
"The eradication the Acromantula will be slight setback to the cause, but the beasts are of no consequence. We shall find other allies." Yes, he mused. Fenrir will have to recruit more werebeasts to his side. |
"How is she so adept at wandless magic I wonder." |
"When I took Draco in hand after the meeting, he gave me some rather interesting information he overheard from the witch and Vector. Not only do the schools across the pond start a basic magical education at five, more like theory for potions, runes, arithmancy and such, but they also guide children in their use of acc... |
"I want a careful eye on her Lucius. I despise unknowns. And if we have to kill her, make it discreet. She has made a vow to Mother Magick, so she may not interfere with another country’s war. Tell your son you want to be kept informed." |
"Now. Let us discuss the falling educational standards at Hogwarts. And how you have not done anything to fix it." |
For the next while. No one could miss the screams through the manor. |
And no one had seen Narcissa’s small smile, as she placed glamours on her body once again. |

"Is it true Albus? Have we really fallen so far in the educational standings?" Septima asked. |
Albus looked all of his many years. "I had heard rumours, but I didn’t believe them for a moment." |
"You mean you didn’t want to believe them." Minerva stated firmly. |
"Minerva..." Albus began. |
