The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Nineteen

The book had appeared in front of James, "I guess I'm reading," he muttered before picking up the book, "Dahlia's point of view," he said.

I was in my office going over paperwork to give to Arcturus involving certain upcoming topics *cough* Dumbledick *cough* *cough*. A snowy white owl came in and I had been reminded of Hedwig, oh how I miss that bird.

James had looked up for a brief second seeing his daughter smile sadly at the mention of her owl while Orion had looked like he had an idea.

I took the letter from the bird and saw it had been addressed to Luna, Tom, and I, and that it was Armando. It read:

"Dear Luna, Dahlia, or Tom, (whoever reads this first),

I knew you all lived together for now so I just made one letter for all of you. I thought now would be a good time to receive the rest of the portraits form Gringotts. I checked ahead of time and if you three along with Charlus come with me, you will have to take a quick blood test to prove you are doing this willingly. If you can meet me tomorrow afternoon that would be great and we can get the frames put up.

Armando Dippet, Headmaster of Hogwarts."

I passed the letter off to Luna and Tom and they both agreed that we can meet tomorrow. I got my mirror out and called Charlus to see if he had received the letter. He did and was about to see if we could go tomorrow also, so I told him I would send the message to Armando since his owl was still here. I got out some parchment:

"Armando,

I have checked with all the others and they have agreed to come tomorrow and receive the other frames.

Dahlia Peverell, Lady of the Most Noble and Most Ancient Houses of Peverell and Ravenclaw."

*Time Skip*

Tom, Luna, and I, flooed to Diagon Alley. "Grab Dahlia's arm and guide her. Its crowded, means more things we cannot see and she can," Luna told Tom cryptically. He understood and gently grabbed my arm, as I immediately looked down seeing how many slightly translucent people were around.

"How do you do Diagon Alley trips for school?" Lily asked.

"We go early," Orion said, "The four of them get overwhelmed when so many more ghosts appear following their loved ones, so we get everything done early."

I was guessing Charlus and Armando had been there when I heard, "Is she alright?" form the Headmaster and "Was it too crowded?" form Charlus. I discreetly saw Luna nod to both questions before we walked in after greeting the guards who bowed back in respect, happy that more Wizards were showing respect.

Many of the purebloods in the room had been rethinking how they treat the goblins, they were after all the ones dealing with their money and they were creatures so they did feel things.

We greeted the teller and Armando said, "Hello, we are supposed to have a meeting involving certain paintings," he hinted. The goblins eyes widened and turned to another teller, "Tell King Ragnarok his meeting his here," the other goblin ran off as Armando looked very confused.

"You're meeting the King?!" many yelled in the room.

"It involves the Founders and Luna and I with our titles, that they know about, and we are friends of the goblins, Tom is too." I explained.

We were led to the King goblins office and sat down, "Now, here's your needles, I know Tom does not need one, prick your fingers and a drop of blood goes on the parchment," we all did as was told and he was satisfied that we all were there willingly. "Okay, I will take you myself to the vaults as some of you do not have a key yet."
