"I don’t understand Mr. Weasley." Albus looked confusedly at the young man. |
"Why does one ingredient work with another? Why is there such a thing as a spell chain? And what is the best way to form one? Why would you ad this to that? Why that combination of arithmancy and potions could level a countryside. Why I shouldn’t weaponize the draught of living death right now. Why pranks are fine, but... |
Fred took up the tale. "You see we’ve seen that not only does Hogwarts frown upon that but so does the wizarding world here. And it’s not just us, I’ll give you that. There are other regimes around the world that act the same way. They keep themselves in power by denying the public at large basic information and educat... |
"What do you mean son?" Arthur had just walked in with Bill ahead of the Order Meeting. |
"Take non magicals. You are aware they have weapons far superior to wizards correct? That is why the ISS is vital." |
"He’s right. I have had to work around muggles and some of there stories are frightening." Bill shivered. |
Albus waved it away. "Just some fanciful stories of the Muggleborn students. It happens every year." |
"Sirius. May we borrow your pensieve?" Fred asked. |
George turned to his parents. "What do you know about what happened on Sunday and Monday?" |
"Mr. Weasley. Now is not the time to..." |
As the pensieve appeared on the table, Fred spoke over the headmaster’s objections. "Show them Georgie." |
George pulled a memory from his head as he ignored the headmaster’s plea to sweep it under the rug. |
The memory was played for all in the room to see. All except George. He had lived it and didn’t need to see it. It also appeared that the headmaster didn’t want to watch either. |
When the rest of the room had pulled away from the memory, George was immediately grabbed in a fierce hug by Fred who was crying. "I’m so sorry brother! You’re always looking out for the three of us. We’ll take better care of you I swear!" |
"I’m fine brother. Don’t worry." George hugged his brother back tightly. "Now stop blubbering like a first year Hufflepuff. I’m fine. And you’re getting snot all over the robes Harry bought me." |
Fred chuckled as he stepped out of his brother’s embrace and punched him in the shoulder. |
George simply cupped his cheek and smiled before he looked at a silently fuming Sirius. He retrieved his memory and placed a second one. "This memory here is why mug...non magicals should not be taken lightly. It’s also why Hogwarts needs to do a better job at teaching why the statute of secrecy is so important. And wh... |
He played the memory of Carmen telling the students that she was there for them and how she had more power than Dumbledore, but knew she could not best him in a magical fight. He heard everyone who was not there, gasp in shock as she not only used a muggle weapon on a warded window, but threatened to kill the staff to ... |
George retrieved his memory and waited for the explosion that he knew was coming. |
"Who was that woman?!" Molly screamed. "Why is she allowed to be around children?!" |
Fred and George just sat back and let their mother rant and rave knowing she would lose steam eventually. |
"Molly!" Arthur yelled. |
"What?!" Molly yelled back. |
"Enough. No one can answer your questions if you are screaming like a banshee." He said in a calm tone and turned to his twin sons. "Now. What did she mean more deadly weapons?" |
"Arthur. I don’t think..." Albus started. |
"No. It’s clear that you don’t think." Arthur interrupted with a glare to the headmaster. He turned back to his boys and raised a brow. He was surprised when Sirius answered. |
"You were not born yet I believe Arthur, but in nineteen forty the Ministry was closed down for a time because of damage. The damage oddly enough was caused by a non magical weapon. Arthur. Harry and Carmen have arranged to show you just how much of a threat that non magicals can be to us. Think on this. The war with G... |
"Millions? But...?" Arthur was confused. "How many muggles are there?" |
Sirius raised a brow at the man. "You work for the misuse of muggle artifacts office and you don’t know?" |
Arthur shook his head in embarrassment. "Sadly. Whenever I asked, I was just laughed away." |
"It is not only common knowledge, but public knowledge that is required by law to be published in their world. The last time that I checked. In this country alone there are over fifty seven million. That’s including the mundane born as their births are used in the statistics that they use to track the population." Siri... |
"That’s...that’s um..." Arthur stammered. |
Other members of the order began to filter in. "Perhaps this should be a conversation for another day." Albus said smoothly. |
"I agree." Sirius said as he stood and faced the twins. "Hermione is in the gym with her parents. She would be delighted to see you. Ron and Ginny go on." |
Sirius smirked as the Fred, Ron, George, and Ginny shot off to see their friend. He looked over to where Arthur was reviving his wife. She came around slowly and clutched onto her husband. |
Sirius turned to the other members of The Order. "Shall we begin Albus?" He asked. |
Sirius watched as various order members gave their report and supressed a sigh. |
When it appeared that the meeting was winding down Sirius asked. "Is there anything else? I have better things to do than listen to a bunch of people talk about nothing." |
"There is one other thing." Tonks said with a little hesitancy. |
"That is?" Sirius asked. |
"Carmen. She’s made a lot of enemies by questioning the status quo. There is a rumour that her invite to the ball is a trap to capture her." |
Sirius shrugged. "She already knows that. Anything else?" |
"My boy. Surely you can see that if this is a trap that she shouldn’t go." Albus said. |
Sirius shrugged again. "She’s an adult. She can do what she wants. As to challenging the status quo, I say that it’s about time that someone did. We have gotten stagnant under the guise of tradition." |
"Our ways have worked for centuries without some upstart yank coming in and trying to ruin them!" Diggle said angrily. |
"In what way has she tried to ruin them? As far as I know she has made it abundantly clear that she doesn’t want to get involved in our affairs." Sirius replied calmly. |
"I must agree Sirius. I have caught her assisting the students with history lessons that are not taught by Binns. He is an institution himself at Hogwarts." Albus said as he stroked his beard. |
"And how many students have passed their OWLs since he passed on? Less than ten percent. All that she did was go to the education department and ask for a synopsis of what was likely to be on the exam and helped the children to study for it. Binns is a joke plain and simple. For Merlin’s sake most of the students know ... |
Albus’ eyes narrowed in suspicion at Sirius. |
Sirius raised a brow in challenge. |
"Well there is a rumour going around that she’s trying to build an army of werewolves!" Diggle shouted. |
"Diggle how bloody old are you?! Learn the facts before you assume anything. She not building an army of werewolves. She is providing food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education to witches and wizards who have been abandoned by both the Dark and the Light! She asks for nothing in return except that they manage t... |

"I’m so proud of you little one. You’ve managed to keep your calm despite everything." Cara was keeping up with the mind exercises, as she walked through his mind and saw the things that he had been through since the summer. It was one thing to write back and forth, but another thing to see it. She would need to meet t... |
Harry blinked his eyes open and looked at Cara. "Sorry about that." |
"It’s my job honey, but I’m so proud of you!" She grabbed him in a hug. "You’ve been doing so well even though you’ve been through so much. Now let’s talk about your relationship with McGonagall." She released him and looked into his eyes. |
Harry sighed. "It’s complicated." |
"I’m paid to deal with complicated so spill." |
He sighed again. "I...I’ve read my father’s journals and in those she’s like family. He even called her Aunt Minnie as he wrote and yet..." Harry stood and looked out the window as he crossed his arms. "She was never anything like that to me. She was always so distant. She was always fair, I’ll give her that, but she w... |
"Hmm." Cara shook her head. "Little one I don’t know, but I do think that I can say with certainty that she is not a bad person. She just put her trust in the wrong person and made wrong decisions. I’m not excusing her behaviour, only trying to explain it." |
Harry snorted. "You sound like Carmen." |
"I think that Leo and I should meet her. I would also like a word with McGonagall." |
Harry closed his eyes. "Hey sis. My shrink wants to meet you.’ |
"Ow! Fuck! My head! Nothing Jamila. Damn stalactites. Sure kiddo. No problem just not now. I’m busy. Hit me up in an hour or so. Actually forget that. I have no idea how long I’ll be down here. I’ll hit you up.’ |
Harry sent her a mental chuckle and closed the connection. |
"Something amusing little one?" Cara asked with a raised brow. |
"Apparently she bumped her head on something when I spoke to her. She said she would meet you but not right now. She’s kind of busy. |
Cara grinned. "I can only imagine. Let’s talk about your relationship with her." |
Harry sighed and called Dobby for a tea service. This was going to be a long day. |

"I hear there’s a..." |
"Bushy haired know...oomph!" That was as far as Fred got as said bushy haired know it all knocked the wind out of him in hug. |
"OH MY GOD IV’E MISSED YOU!" Hermione proceeded to grab everyone in a death grip. |
"Can’t breathe." Ginny wheezed out. |
"Oh sorry." Hermione released the younger girl. "Where’s Harry?" |
"He had a rough day. The press were waiting at the station. Mione. Someone told about the prophecy." Ron answered. |
The walls began to creak under the weight of her magic. She was pissed off. |

The members of The Order were hashing out various strategies that Sirius frankly felt were useless. His Head of House ring sent a signal letting him know that accidental magic was happening. As he watched the walls shake, he looked over as Moody and Andromeda stood as one and left swiftly. |
"So Snape. You were saying?" He asked casually. |
"Sirius. Shouldn’t you..." Arthur hedged. |
Lord Black waved it away. "It’s being handled. Sorry Severus. You were saying?" |

"Petrificus Totalus!" Moody roared as he hit Hermione square in the chest. He turned to her friends in anger. "What in the name of all levels of hell is wrong with you?!" |
The students backed away in the face of his rage. |
"You two. Are the lovers of one of the most powerful wizards on the planet! You couldn’t even stun or body bind a witch who he calls sister dealing with accidental magic. You hesitated. Hesitation gets you killed! How do you think she would have felt if she had leveled this building with everyone in it!? How do you thi... |
"Yes sir." Fred and George answered as one. |
"Good! Now all of you drop and give me thirty for your stupidity." |
Moody watched as they did as they were told then stomped over to Andromeda who was leaning over the girl. "Well?" |
"She’s fine. Angry but fine." Andromeda cancelled the spell. |
Moody already had his wand trained on her. "Don’t make me lass. Keep going you lot! You’re only at twelve." He said to the students who were doing press ups. "Calm down." |
Hermione took deep breaths trying to center herself. When she opened her eyes she saw two wands trained on her. "Oh dear. What did I do?" |
Andromeda helped her up. "I am not really sure. Sirius registered accidental magic. The cause is unknown." Andi raised a brow at the girl. |
"We told her that the press know’s about the prophecy." Ron quickly hid behind his older brothers at both of the adult’s glares. |
"I see. Am I to guess Ronald that you did this in your usual tactless manner?" Andromeda drilled holes into the boy. She saw that Sirius had come in and closed the door. "Meeting over My Lord?" She continued to stalk towards Ron’s position behind his brothers. |
"Yes. More talking about doing nothing." Sirius shrugged. |
"Grand. I am about to teach a Weasley how to think." |
And after that it was mayhem. |
When the torches were back on, Ron Weasley was on his back with Andromeda’s wand at his throat. Her hair was unbound and there was a look in her eyes that screamed murder. "She is my ward. A threat to her is a threat to me. The next time you tell her that her best friend is now the only topic of The Prophet after she h... |
"Andromeda Black Tonks. Enough." Sirius said lowly. |
