Leo looked at his wife. "Show them my love."
Fast as lightening Cara cast a cutting curse at Andromeda. Sirius went to shield, but was not quick enough and it hit Andromeda straight in the chest. And did absolutely nothing.
Andromeda almost had a heart attack. "What precisely are those?" Sirius had a hand on her shoulder in support, and to reassure himself.
"They are known as combat training wands." Carmen and Tony walked right through the shields without a problem. "They’re used by armies around the world to train their troops. "This particular wand is made by Gorstag. Second generation if I’m not mistaken." Carmen looked to the woman. "May I?"
Cara looked at Harry who nodded. "Very well."
Carmen took the wand and thanked her. She cast a Bombarda Maxima at a stone column and nothing happened. "Extraordinary." She Breathed.
"Oh damn." Tony sighed. He knew that look.
"I need fifty of these wands. They’re made by Gorstag and they are second generation combat training wands."
"I thought you wanted to wait to see what they can do when you visit Prague next year."
"I’ve just seen them in action and it WAS FUCKING AWESOME!" Carmen began to clap and jump up and down in glee.
"On it. Can it wait until Friday though?"
"A damn headache. The suppliers here..." Caille shook her head. "I’m headed to Egypt for the cloth you wanted. At least that country has manners."
"I’ll take care of it. Pop away my darlin."
"You know it." And she was gone.
Leo nudged Harry and inclined his head toward Tony and Carmen. "Right. Let me introduce you to my sister Carmen. You already know Sirius, but this is the elder of the house of Black. His cousin Andromeda. Carmen this is Leo and Cara De Cortez two of my tutors over the summer. This behemoth, as Sirius calls him, is her ...
Carmen stuck out her hand with a wide smile. "A pleasure to meet you both. We may want to lower these wards soon." She said as Tony shook both of their hands in warm welcome. And the vampire and his wife also shook Andromeda’s hand. "I’ve counted twenty Aurors that have amassed outside of your shield."
Leo nodded. "All of the children have been evacuated save for a few. There are two red heads arguing with an older female redhead it would appear."
"Ron and Ginny." Everyone who knew said at the same time.
"There is a petite, but slightly muscular little girl with platinum blonde hair that is twirling her wand in her hand standing next to the man my wife interviewed with. Like she doesn’t have a care in the world."
"And by all that is holy is that a vulture hat on that woman’s head?"
"Damn you’re good! Want a job?"
"Carmen. No." Sirius said.
"No." Harry repeated.
"Oh alright." She pouted.
"You two have actual wands?" Tony asked.
"She does. I’m..." He was cut off by a shield that surrounded the two of them. He nodded to Carmen in thanks.
"Don’t say it. They will find any reason to kill you." Tony interrupted.
Leo raised a brow.
"As powerful and as strong as you are, in this country you could blink wrong and it will be you against fifty. You have speed and swordsmanship at your side. Stick with that. And if the spells that I sense on your weapons are correct, they will make an excellent shield against magic. You ready?" He asked.
"Yes." Leo only had a moment to acknowledge that the man in front of him had a bit of vampire blood in his veins before the shield dropped.
"Oh this is so stupid!" Carmen said as she threw off multiple stunners along with Harry, Sirius, Andromeda, Fred, George, Leo, Cara, Tony. "Sorry brother." She concentrated briefly and all of the Aurors were knocked out except Amelia Bones. She put her hands up in a placating fashion. "I won’t harm you madame. I was pr...
She didn’t see Sirius make a note of the many times she said the word strawberry as he helped to bind the Aurors and then revive them.
"Who are they?" Amelia Bones asked Harry about the two people she did not recognize.
"They were my tutors over the summer." Harry said angrily. He was aware that the press was still there even though they were cowering in various corners. "What I want to know, is why it took the Aurors." Harry looked at his watch. "Fifteen damn minutes for to show up? Carmen was here with her team in three minutes afte...
He looked to Mr. Lovegood who nodded his head.
"That is what I have to say to you pathetic morons masquerading as journalists. I have been given permission by Mr. Lovegood to speak to you. I’m just a boy. A boy who knew nothing when he entered the wizarding world at eleven years old. You saw what happened here. The students and a handful of adults got the children ...
"Well looks like we weren’t needed after all Tony. Let’s get back to Hogwarts and get started." She turned to Harry. "Hey Harry. Chin up kiddo. Don’t let these morons get ya down." Then her and Tony vanished.
Harry gave her a small smile as she left. "Well come on Aunty Cara and Uncle Leo. I want to go home. Fred and George. I’ll see you later."
George and Fred rushed over to Harry from where they were arguing with their mother and held him. "Need some alone time hmm?" George asked.
Harry just nodded into his chest.
Fred kissed his forehead. "We understand love. Take some time."
George copied his brother and stepped away from Harry.
Sirius took Harry in a one armed hug and looked at Andromeda. "Andi can you take the two of them? We’re going home."
"Of course my lord." She reached out both hands and held tight as Cara and Leo took them.
Everyone on the platform was shocked when all five disappeared without a sound.

"Who were those people and why did they attack the station?" Molly demanded. Ron and Ginny had no clue who they were, but were dying to know as well.
"They were part of a team that Sirius put together to train Harry, me and Freddie. Their names are Leo and Cara." George said as he poured himself and his brother a cup of tea.
Fred didn’t even look up from his notes as he replied to his mother. "They technically didn’t attack the station. They used combat training wands. No one was in any danger of a stray spell." He was analyzing what they could have done differently. If they had been actual Death Eaters, they would have had a ton of collat...
George looked over Fred’s notes. He made a few adjustments. "We should get with ickle Ronniekins and see what he thinks as well."
"Too right brother dear. He certainly has a head for it." Fred said as he bit into a piece of cake.
"I’m talking to you!" Molly screeched.
"You’re yelling...
George sighed as he put down the sheet of parchment. "We answered the question you asked us, so I really don’t see the issue."
"Don’t take that tone with me young man. I asked you a question. Who are they?"
Fred and George looked at her in confusion.
"Perhaps Molly you should be more specific in your questioning. I have recently noticed that your twin boys and Harry only answer the question that is asked. If you want anything specific from them then you need to ask that specific thing. They have apparently learned not to offer up any information. They technically d...
Molly frowned. That didn’t sound like the Twins at all.
"Messrs. Weasley. What can you tell me about this Cara and Leo besides their names and how you came to know them?
"The Quibbler did a great job describing Cara and her qualifications, so don’t need to rehash there. Leo is a hand to hand combat specialist. He works for the non magical militaries of several countries as well as multiple different magical governments around the world. They both are fluent in three languages." Fred sh...
"Ah. So Muggleborn then." Albus mused.
"No idea. Never came up." George admitted.
"What do you mean never came up?" Molly asked.
George sighed. "Now I see where Ron gets it from. It never came up because it wasn’t important. In fact, in a lot of countries it’s considered the height of rudeness to even bring it up."
Seeing that they were both finished with their tea and cake the two boys stood. "If you’ll excuse us, we have projects to work on."
"I was not finished." Albus stated.
"Yes, but we are. Our private lives are our business." Fred said testily.
"You will do as your told! I don’t know what has gotten into the two of you lately, but it ends today. I will not have disrespectful children under my roof!"
"The funny thing is. It’s not your roof." A silky voice said from the doorway.
"Sirius. We were just discussing your friends that were at the station."
"I’m well aware of what you were discussing. Tell me Albus are you doing this in your capacity as Headmaster? If so you are not in school and therefor it is none of your business. Even if they were in school, as it is not school related, it would still be none of your business. Are you asking in your capacity as Chief ...
Albus frowned, but remained quiet.
"Well I’m their mother..."
"And they are of age and are not legally nor magically obligated to tell you anything."
Sirius took his seat at the Head of the Table as a fresh tea service appeared in front of him and he proceeded to butter his scone.
"So gents. What projects are you working on today?"
"Well Georgie is going to be in the potions lab. And I have some calculations that I wanted to go over containing Peruvian Runes and arithmancy."
Sirius let out a low whistle. "I’m impressed. Harry sends his regards. He was in a private session with Cara when I left."
"Harry’s not here?" Albus asked with wide eyes.
"No. He’s at home." Sirius said as he took a sip of tea.
"Sirius my boy. How could you leave them with people we don’t know?"
Sirius raised a brow. "You mean people you don’t know Albus. Don’t worry though. Harry and I trust them far more than we trust you or the Order."
"How could you say such a thing?" Molly looked ready to kill.
"Because it’s the truth." Sirius shrugged.
"Here Here!" The twins chorused.
Molly looked to her boys in scandal. "You take that back this instant!"
Molly’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.
"Uncle Leo and Aunty Cara and the others took us and forced us into our full potential. Not by insults or put downs." Fred started.
"Not by trying to control our fire and our passion for pranks and a good time." George continued.
"But by dealing with us by using three things. First..."
"They learned rather quickly how to tell us apart. Something our own mother still can’t do. Second they treated us as separate people rather than one person in two bodies unlike everyone else except Sirius and Harry in the beginning and now others who can quickly tell us apart. Even Ron and Gin Gin. They treated us lik...
"Professor Snape." Albus corrected.
Fred snorted. "Yeah. He’s a Professor and I’m the Queen of England. He throws instructions on the board and says well what are you waiting for turn to a specific page, then spends the rest of the time jumping at the Gryffindors. They drop their potions in fright and he gives them a zero for the day. And I will refer to...
I can look at a ward scheme and break it down piece by piece. Every equation is like a line of music coming together to make a symphony. Seriously Sirius. You have a silver javelin curse ward and your best friend is a werewolf?" Fred asked incredulously.
Sirius winced and rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah. Found out about that the first time he came into the house. But I shut it down quickly." He said the last part defensively.
Fred shook his head at the last part.
"You can see the wards?" Dumbledore asked with a twinkle in his eye. This could be a boon to The Order. William had flat out refused most of his requests stating goblin contracts and some such nonsense.
"Forget whatever you’re planning Dumbledore because I haven’t given you the third and final reason."
Albus deflated slightly. "And what is that Mr. Weasley?"
George took over. "They all taught us the meaning of the word why."
