Sirius and James snuck out of the dorm and found Frank waiting in the hallway to the stairs, they had begun to start the workout the demigods did in the morning. It helped that the brothers and James were all Quidditch players but it was still a bit different. This had also been the times where some others did what they need to keep their demigod abilities in check for the day.

"How would I practice plague?" Alice asked her father quietly.

"Wait until you're in the Underworld and I'm with you," he answered.

James had started working on sparing with his blade. James was able to use a Stygian Iron blade no problem, and because of his heritage he was able to practice with a scythe.

"I get a scythe?" James asked with amazement in his tone. He grinned excitedly when he saw his ancestor nodding.

"What's Stygian Iron?" a Ravenclaw asked.

"A metal that only Underworld children can handle because it will try to suck out your soul," Harry answered, "So at the time Dad could only spar with it with Mom."

Nico nodded in agreement, so did Hazel. Nico wasn't able to practice with the metal properly until he finally met Harry and then Hazel was introduced. She didn't use Stygian Iron but she had practiced with it and had a small blade of it hidden when she needed it.

Of course it was a fake scythe for now, but still a scythe. Regulus was watching Sirius do his exercises in his dog form as he would run around and use his senses to find specific demigods. It was explained that the guards, aka Sirius, Regulus, and Pandora, would be more watchful over the specific ones in their Hogwarts house but still be mindful over everyone else. Pandora had Xeno and Cassia, Sirius had Frank, Alice, Marlene, and technically James, while Regulus only had Severus, but they were still aware of the others. Regulus had time, but he was told by Orion that if he didn't accomplish his animagus form that he will be forced into it when he turned sixteen, maybe earlier if a new guard was truly needed. Right now, he had the mandrake leaf in his mouth, a storm was coming and he wanted to do it now.

Those interested in becoming animagi mentally took notes.

Cassia was making opponents using the Mist or summoning skeletons for more advanced fighting. Having Hecate as her mother, her magic was quite a bit stronger at night so she would practice other abilities, like dream manipulation. She sometimes appeared in my dreams and we would be talking and then pick up the conversation later. She told me she sometimes would practice the ability if she knew one of the others were having a nightmare and would help them out and take it away, unless it was a demigod dream, then she couldn't do anything. She gets a bit of a mischievous side I've been told because sometimes she will throw fire at their feet to make sure they still pay attention to their surroundings.

Leo smiled as he started bouncing excitedly in his seat. Cassia had helped him be more confident in his fire ability after he told her how his mother died.

Marlene was practicing with her spear and was a bit of a distance away so she didn't affect somebody else as she was also practicing with her charm speak. She went full out with the skeletons she would fight, they still had a brain, it was a bit creepy to look at. Sometimes she fought the others to practice too. Those who knew Occlumency could fight it, Cassia could also, her mother had created empousae so she would naturally be able to avoid being possessed.

Lou Ellen and Cassia high-fived because they couldn't be possessed or influenced by charmspeak making Belladonna, Marlene, and Drew pout. "You won't do that to my brother, will you?" Marlene heard Regulus speak with a hint of worry. She turned and found Regulus staring right at her and now Orion had looked over in curiosity.
