"Of course it was a nice group that accompanied you" Blaise said in a teasing tone as Althea entered the compartment prepared with privacy spells where the Pendragon had arranged to meet.

Everyone else was already seated, Luna motioned for her to sit next to her "so what's the skylark like? He sure seems like a good looking guy" Luna said while Althea turned red realizing that the lark Luna was referring to the previous year was Hibari (Hibari translates as skylark).

The twins and Neville frowned when they saw Althea's reaction, they didn't like the idea that a boy was making room in her heart (hey, she was their little sister),even if she didn't seem to understand much about her feelings.

To save herself from Luna and Daphne's questioning, Althea began to talk about her summer.

Neville was really curious about Tsuna and asked Althea if he could ask Hedwig to bring a letter introducing himself and maybe start a correspondence between the two future bosses, Althea and Hedwig immediately gave the okay, after all they could see them becoming friends.

Luna on the other hand was curious to see if she could contact Mukuro through dreams like Chrome, being locked in an aquatic prison must be depressing, Cedric was studying the law of the Vindex said he would look for a way to get him out under the custody of the Vongola, after all Mukuro was one of Tsuna's guardians, Daphne would help him out, she was a romantic even if she didn't show it most of the time (she loved pairing up and Mukuro and Chrome seemed perfect for each other, if only she knew Chrome was just to shy to understand that she was in love and Mukuro was just too stubborn to admit it).

The twins were already in contact with Gokudera and had decided to exchange ideas, Hayato was brilliant as a potions maker, just as he was a bomb disposal expert.

But they feared one thing...

Reborn giving Blaise training tips.

They would have done anything to prevent it, including setting Blaise up in an unbreakable vow.

The new year party passed with the suspension of quidditch and the announcement of the triwizard tournament,even though the twins knew that no one under the age of 17 could participate they decided to try to sign up anyway.

The next day Cedric met with Neville to ask him if he could participate to test his abilities, at first Neville didn't understand why he was being asked for permission, until Luna pointed out that it was the practice for the guardians.

Furthermore the twins had their first lesson with mad-eye Moody, if they had him before becoming guardians they would certainly have praised him, but there was something strange and they had decided to listen to the instincts of their gravity center before making any decision.

Althea didn't trust Moody, except for the strange feeling she had and the fact that he didn't move like a war veteran, at least for the fact that he was an old friend of the bastard.

Even if it had been any other teacher her respect would have reached zero just for the fact that he had demonstrated the cruciatus curse in front of Neville, not only was it the curse that had made his parents lose their minds...

He remembered that night,fuck.

He had confessed it to her the previous year, Althea every time she got close to a dementor she listened to her mother's death. Neville on the other hand relived the screams of his parents.

Whatever respect Althea may have ever had for Moody melted like snow in the sun the moment he used the curse.

Not that it was much, her expectations for D.A.D.A professors always started out very low, the only decent one had been Moony-ji.
