The Twins Who Lived

Relaxation, Exams and No Help

"Mia, remind me again. How far away are the exams?" Dahlia asked, staring at a group of ravenclae 7th years who looked more like the undead then living students. "It's... 2 weeks from now. Why?" Hermione asked, checking her notes "because that's the fifth group of zombified students ive seen. Hogwarts won't have a functioning 5th or 7th year class by the time exams arrive. This isn't healthy." Dahlia said, staring at a couple of 5th years, literally falling asleep while standing. "Well what do you suggest we do lia? I find it near impossible to get anyone 5th and up to put their books down for even a moment" Phineas mused, "never mind the fact that the entirety of the ravenclaw upper years practically live in class or the library" Pansy added, setting down the books she got. Dahlia sat, deep in thought, a look appearing in her eyes "I got it!" Dahlia said.

"I know that look, it's the one James gets when planning a prank" Remus said causing dahlia to smile, she always loved hearing that she was similar to any of their parents.

"We'll make them relax. All we need is some games.." Dahlia rambled as she got up,heading out of the room, she had much to do. "This is going to be good" Harry smirked, catching glimpses of what she was planning. The others got up as well, knowing whenever Dahlia had a plan it was sure to be amusing or at the very least, exciting or interesting.

Dahlia had Griphook purchase several board games for her from various stores, kreacher picking them up. She coordinated with the elves, getting all the snacks settled, she spoke with kreacher about creating two pocket doors, one for sleeping, and another for stress relief.

{Scene change to Dumbledore's office}

"How may I help you?" Dumbledore asked, looking up at the group of children in his office, he was starting to get used to Dahlia coming in whenever. "It's the students, their going to be burnt out before the week's out, I have a plan, what if...."

"Oh Come On!" Half the hall shouted, voicing their complaints at not being able to hear this plan "it'll show you, calm down, the lot of you" Ron said amused by the reactions.

{Time skip to that Saturday, scene changed to the great hall}

"ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO EAT IN THE GREAT HALL TODAY, ALL STUDENTS MUST REPORT TO THE GREAT HALL" Dumbledore's voice rang through the air magically. Everyone entered throughout the afternoon, stopping in confusion as they looked around the room that was transformed. Those of muggle upbringing recognized several of the board games throughout the room, half of the room had bean bags and a screen up, the other half had various tables with board games on it. A long table near the back was covered in snacks and drinks buffet style. Dahlia hopped onto the raised said where the teacher's normally ate "Excuse me everyone, if you don't know my name's Dahlia Black-Potter, I know exams are coming up soon but what's the point if you lot manage to tire yourselves out now and not have the energy to even lift a quil, with permission from dumbledore. We've turned this room into a relaxing area, that door leads to various empty classrooms in case you wish to paint, sleep, meditate or just break things to relieve tension. That door leads straight to the dorms for every house, that area is full of muggle board games. That is the food and over here is the movie area, it has a list of movies that will be playing. And from now on, Ms. Pince is going to be holding study groups for each year, the full list will be on the door along with the time and when each subject will be gone over"  Dahlia explained before getting off of the chair.

"That's a very good Idea, Mrs.Zabini-Black, we'll have to start employing that now, at least the study groups " Mcgonagall said impressed, the other teachers nodded aswell. This would cut down on the students stress and ensure Pomfrey still has some calming drought potions throughout the rest of the year. Regulus, James and Lily were filled with Pride, their children were amazing and extremely kind hearted, if only they had been their to see them grow and flourish.
