Unity & Perseverance

A Revelation

Amelia Potter was a tad confused when she went down into the kitchen for breakfast and seen, sitting in the living room, was her Arithmancy teacher, Professor Vector. "Professor?" She said, a bit surprised.

"Ah, Miss Potter, good to see you." Vector replied, looking cheerful, as if it had been some arranged meeting.

"Erm, yeah, you too," she paused, "how did you-"

"-get access to your safehouse?" Vector supplied for her. "Dumbledore gave me access for my meeting with your godfather. Sirius is just through in the kitchen, making me tea. Your twin brother will be joining us as well."

"Why are you meeting them, may I ask?" She replied politely, but was still confused.

"Well, your brother wishes to take up Arithmancy, and also Ancient Runes with Professor Babbling."

"Is this a joke?" Amelia almost laughed.

Vector smiled knowingly. "McGonagall said he literally only thought of the idea last night. You must've been up in your room, for she was told of this by seven p.m yesterday."

Sirius came through then, and he saw Amelia in the doorway. "You can join us, if you want, Amelia."

"I think I should. This is all new information for me." She sat down on the singular armchair across from the fireplace.

Harry entered, looking presentable for once. She instantly spoke to him. "Why on earth have you decided to take up two subjects?" She asked, amused.

"Look, I know it sounds stupid, but I think it can be done." He replied, his face flushing a slight crimson.

Once they were all seated (Dorea would probably end up joining them, once she woke up and came downstairs), Babbling started speaking. "Well, Mr Potter, I don't believe we've met. I'm Professor Vector, and if you are able to join the O.W.L Arithmancy class, I will be your teacher for it. I have brought with me some short leaflets which explain the overview of the course." She reached into her bag and passed her twin brother one. She gave him a few moments to scan his eyes over it before she continued. "I will warn you, Arithmancy is no walk in the park. Even your friend Miss Grainger finds it tricky, and I'm sure Amelia and Dorea could tell you all about the essays."

At that, Amelia mouthed to him " they are hellish", which he nervously smiled at. Vector carried on. "All the content is explained in the leaflet. Now, I've brought a spare copy of the textbook - Numerology and Grammatica. This is the only textbook you will be needing. It looks massive, but that's because it is the book we always refer to in class, over all the levels."

"I found some introduction books last night in the library upstairs, Professor. It uses really simple language, but I think it would be better to also use it alongside, for the terminology and that." Harry answered, still sounding a bit meek. "I found some for Ancient Runes too, which I've started reading."

"Feel free to use it too. It seems you are determined to take this course, Mr Potter." Vector smiled kindly. "You can always ask to see your sisters' notes too."

Amelia nodded. "I still have my third and fourth year ones. Dorea probably does too."

"Oh, why are we all in here? I thought.." Dorea had finally risen. She had just walked into the room at that very moment. However, she drifted off when she saw Professor Vector.

"Miss Black, it's good to see you." Vector said.

"You too, Professor. Why.. Why are you here?" Was Dorea's confused response.

"I'm going to take up Arithmancy and Ancient Runes." This time, Harry said it with confidence.

"Oh, as a hobby? It's a good pastime, translating and that-"
