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

Chapter Thirty-Eight

While children were getting ready to leave for the train at the end of the year, Armando pulled Tom aside, "I want you to take over the as the Slytherin Head of House next year, Slughorn is willing to give it to you, he has projects he's wanting to do. I also wanted to start with the new classes with the other's but since those are more elective classes it can be more of a tutoring thing. I know they will be starting families and hopefully you will be too, but I wanted to give that option," he said.

"So did all Heads of Houses change or was it just Slytherin?" Sirius asked.

"We thought it would make sense that if you are the Head of the House in general that you would also be the Head of the Hogwarts House. I have Slytherin, Charlus has Gryffindor, Dahlia has Ravenclaw, and Luna has Hufflepuff. The previous Heads of the Hogwarts Houses stood in as the second, but I think that's mentioned later," Tom explained.

"Um, yeah I can tell the others, you would have to suggest what they would be teaching though," Tom told him. "And yes, I'll take over Slytherin House."

"Would the others be willing to take over as Head's of their houses?" he asked

"Yes, I think if they make a secondary head such as the teacher with the more known subject for the House as like the Deputy Head like I'm the Deputy Headmaster, something like that," Tom suggested.

Tom blinked at himself on the screen, "Well, there you go."

Slughorn happened to be walking by at this moment, "Actually yeah, that wouldn't be a bad idea, and maybe if a student has a question, they can have a way to contact any of you guys when you guys are not here, like your mirrors?" Tom looked like he had an idea, "I have a thought, I have to see if I can do it, maybe Dahlia can with her knowledge of runes," he said. They nodded and Armando handed Tom a letter to give to Henrik to give to his parents.

"You specialize in Runes?" Dorea asked.

"Mm-hmm, so does this Sirius," Dahlia answered, motioning to her ten-year-old. She had caught him many times looking at her Runes books in fascination.

Tom happened to find Henrik with his friends, "Henrik," he called, Henrik turned to him, "Hi Tom," he greeted. His friends looked a bit surprised before forgetting Tom does in fact know his family. "The Headmaster wanted you to give that to your parents about next year," his friends perked up. "Are Lord and Lady Black going to be possible teachers?" they asked excitedly. Tom nodded and they gained big smiles, before they left for the train, "I'll give it to them," Henrik says before he left.

"We're the favorites," Orion spoke up, Dahlia nodding with a smug smile.

"Can't even argue with that," Abraxas grumbled. Those from the previous timeline were curious to find out what they would be teaching.

Orion and Dahlia were waiting for the train with Nico and Bianca. It had arrived and they saw Henrik appear as he had practically been dragged by Pitch. He came up to them and gave a polite greeting to them, the purebloods may have relaxed a little but they still have images to keep. "Tom said Armando wanted you to look at this," he handed them a letter that Orion had out in his suit pocket before they apparated home. When home, Henrik went to join unpack his stuff while Nico and Bianca joined behind him, they wanted to hear about his year which I'm sure we'll hear later. Orion took out the letter and they both looked it over:

"Orion and Dahlia,

I have decided to start the specialty classes we had mentioned as I know you and the others have just recently received your masters. Tom brought up an idea as I know all of you will eventually start families and I wanted to make your classes smaller or have a few classes in a day. A bit like tutoring if you think about it. These will be mostly electives you lot would be teaching to open up more interests for students. The idea Tom had was to put Deputy Heads of Houses so you have time to concentrate on other things like your families. He is also coming up with a way that if a student had to contact you they could contact you rather quickly. So if you accept, Dahlia, will you come and be our runes and warding, Grey Core teaching, Dark Grey Core Teaching, and our Ravenclaw Head of House with Flitwick as your deputy? And Orion, will be become our specialties teacher? You would be teaching different kinds of magic to those who show an affinity for a type of magic like an elementalist. Let me know your answers,

Armando Dippet, Headmaster of Hogwarts"

Orion looked impressed about what he would be teaching, others look intrigued to find out about Core classes they were going to teach. "Those Core classes are so helpful," Andromeda comments, her sister eagerly agreeing. "They help with spells that our cores would be able to handle better, what we could use as defense, what we could use as offense, what are limits are, and so on. There hasn't been any bullying about people with Dark magic being evil, or somebody being weak because they can't deal with the magic being taught. It's more peaceful, but fun," Narcissa explains.

Dahlia and Orion looked at each other a bit stunned. Yes, we wanted to finish their masters rather quickly they just didn't expect the offer to teach to come that quickly. The fireplace lit up as the Malfoys came out followed by the Potters, Gellert, Minerva, Pomona, and Myrtle. "I take it you all got letters?" Dahlia assumed the obvious. They all nodded excitedly, "So are we all accepting?" Orion asked. They all nodded again and they sent a letter to both Tom (who soon joined them) and Armando. They sat discussing our subjects before they were all invited to stay and of course Cannibal was rather excited for the big task Dahlia was giving him and said if he did need assistance to get Kreacher to help. Arcturus and Melania had recently gave them Kreacher as he was previously with Walburga and she liked to punish him and got away as fast he could when he felt the disownment.

Sirius leaned over to Regulus, "You think he got obsessed with her after being mentally and physically tortured by her for a reason?" he asked. Regulus paused, then nodded, "Mental breakdown," he agreed.

The kids had come down for dinner and they got introduced to the none Peverells and Henrik said, "Wait, so are we actually getting the new electives now?" they nodded and he got excited and practically demanded they told him what subjects they would get.

"It was so boring," Henrik comments.

"Yeah, classes were a bit boring," James comments quietly. Lily wanted to know what would be considered as 'fun' if he thought those were a bit boring. It might've been because she's a muggleborn, but she had fun with it.

Over the summer they introduced the children to many new things. They introduced Henrik to Charlotte and Peter who they came across as they had been keeping an eye on Jasper. Next thing they knew they were back at Diagon Alley for Henrik's second year supplies and Bianca's first year supplies.

"Cool, my first years coming," Bianca comments as the screen goes blank. They had been watching these small episodes all day and the adults are seeing the younger children begin to yawn. Some were already practically asleep and had to be carried into their beds.
