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

Chapter Forty Two

Both Bianca and Henrik did great with their grades and everyone could tell Nico was excited to start.

Nico was secretly glad that his demigod cousins weren't there at the moment to tease him about how he hyperactive he keeps being as a ten year old. Except this time it's with real magic and not Mythomagic. It seems that the other Nico had the same thought form the reddening of his face at the next few scenes.

He had been reading the text books after Hecate had taught him and Bianca when they were in the Underworld one time; how to wandlessly do a translating spell so it would be in Greek. He was excited to read about it but he really wanted to start actually doing something. As Nico and Bianca were not technically magically raised, Dahlia and Orion homeschooled them on wizard studies and Nico read more in to it in his free time, they didn't have to take wizard studies because of it.

Soon they were back in Diagon Alley, getting Nico's first year stuff and Henrik and Bianca's books. Henrik was excited he finally got to start some elective classes. He had picked runes because he had been very curious about them when he saw Dahlia working on them.

Henrik softly smiled as he remembered the times his mom would be working on Runes and teaching him new things as a smaller Sirius would come in and watch too.

Henrik brought up he would see Esther using them as they were more common then, and he would see his Aunt Dahlia using them, he assumes they had been talking about his oldest sister Freya. Dahlia's hair turned blood red (homicidal thoughts) and she growled out, "I'm gonna kill that bitch, she took a child from her home, and she has the same name as me," Orion had to quickly hide his amusement.

"Had fun doing that," Dahlia comments, a bloodthirsty grin on her face while the Mikaelsons all agreed.

When they had gotten back, Orion had gotten a letter we had been waiting for, "Darling?" he called out for Dahlia. She came into the room with a questioning look, "Cygnus and Druella are expecting," he told her. Her eyes widened as they realized the first of the next generation will be arriving soon and we have to watch over her.

"Oh goody," Bellatrix mumbled.

*Time Skip*

Nico sat with Bianca and Henrik on the train; they both knew he was more anti-social when nervous. They both casually talked about what classes they would be taking and not telling him about the Sorting Ceremony as Dahlia and Orion kept him away at the time.

When Nico found the other first years at the boats, Henrik and Bianca left to get on the carriages being pulled by the thestrals, Nico was uncomfortable on the boats for obvious reasons. Bianca had told him there is a really great view of Hogwarts that would distract him, and that the squid protects ALL children, no matter the parent. And yes, she was right about the view. When the boats had stopped, they got on the ground that Nico could've practically kissed by now and walked up to meet Tom at the top. He gave his speech before leaving us alone when the ghosts came out.

Peeves seemed to be holding something while the other ghosts talked to the kids.

Sirius caught the smirk Dahlia and Orion were wearing.

He caught Nico's eye before he winked which was when Nico knew Dahlia and Orion had bribed him with something. When Tom came back out, Peeves dumped what seemed to be flour all over him, it was quite a lot too, "PEEVES!" Tom yelled to the fleeing poltergeist.

"It was you two, wasn't it?" Tom suddenly said.

"Oh, I don't know, it sooo long ago," Orion dramatically spoke.

"Then why were you two smirking?" Tom countered.

"Because we knew this was the time you came in looking like that, and we wanted to see it happen, it was funny," Dahlia said as if she was talking to a child.

Tom had made the flour vanish before having them follow him inside where Nico saw both Bianca and Henrik at the Ravenclaw table. They all kinda knew he would most likely be in the Slytherin house though.

Tom had pulled out a raggedy old hat, that FUCKING SPOKE AND SANG. Nico's eyes must've said everything as Orion hid his mouth and Dahlia was clutched on to his arm with purple (happy) roots. Tom started calling names and got to, "di Angelo, Nico" he walked up to the stool and sat down.

"Well you've been threw a lot," a voice spoke; pretty sure it's the hat.

"Yep, like your sister good observation. Now, you show more cunningness and ambition then your sister did, she only had a little. You are eager to learn, situations you were put in before were rather brave for you to do and you have loyalty to certain people but react badly if they have wronged you. I don't blame you I know it's your fatal flaw. Really you fit all houses, but your cunning side is more present then others so...SLYTHERIN!" he announced the last bit.

Dahlia and Orion smirked getting coins from Dorea and Charlus, all four had a bet going on Nico's house. He sat down and was informed he was actually a Hat Stall which doesn't happen all that often. Nico entered the Slytherin dorms and Tom and Slughorn had come in to give the beginning of year speech before keeping the first years to give more details such as getting our schedules and stick with someone older if you get lost even though there will be a map, Dahlia had made it similar to the Marauder's Map except it only shows you how to get to classes. She wanted to save the Marauders Map for James and Sirius.

James and Sirius beamed, they already planned to make it again, except Severus, Lily, Crowley, Regulus, Lyra, and Pandora were being added.

*Time Skip*

Orion had gotten a letter saying Druella had given birth; him and Dahlia had both put there in meeting classes on hold and gave them book work. They had gone to St. Mungo's and found Druella's room. She had been holding a fussy newborn when they came in. Dahlia was a little worried as Druella had already looked like she wanted to leave Bellatrix in the garbage.

"Probably thought about it," Bellatrix mumbled.

Bellatrix had calmed down when they came in and looked at her. "What's her name?" Orion asked. "Bellatrix Black," Cygnus said.

"Nice name," Dahlia spoke, she kind of wanted to leave already.

Bellatrix already looked a little agitated with Dahlia wanting to leave her there. Before she could make a remark, her counterpart whispered in her ear, "Never take someone who can see ghosts into a hospital or a cemetery. She didn't like Druella and she was in a hospital," she told her. Bellatrix looked a little less agitated after that.

Even though Dahlia smoked her 'not see ghosts' mix doesn't mean she couldn't still sense them.

Bellatrix relaxed a little realizing her counterpart was right.

The tension between the two new parents makes her want to take the baby and run. She knew Orion had the same feeling as his hand that was on her back had begun heating up. They quickly and unnoticeably excused ourselves and left, sad they couldn't take Bellatrix.

Bellatrix raised an eyebrow, they wanted to take her from her horrible parents?

They were talking to the other teachers before they had gotten another letter, this time from Lucretia and Ignatius, announcing they were expecting the new Prewitt Lords.

"That's us!" Fabian and Gideon cheered.
