Sirius stomps into the family room after taking a shower and freshening himself up.

He spotted his two blood adopted children sitting on each side of Remus. He sat on the arm chair next to the triple seater sofa on Alaya's side. "What you two did was really cruel." He said with a huff. "It's a good thing that these two did what they did, Sirius. You would've been whining for the whole of next week if these three had gone without you." Said James from his portrait.

"Where are you guys planning to go?" he asked, interested. But before anyone could answer, Andromeda, Dora and Ted walked in. "We heard Sirius shouting. What is it?" asked Andy. They explained the whole incident again. Everyone laughed again, joined by Ted and Dora. Andy was just grinning at a sulking Sirius. "Cheer up, Siri. It's only today that they're going to do it." Remus said after he sobered.

"Why so?" asked Tonks (Dora). The twins explained their idea to train more due to Harry's nightmares having Voldemort in them. Sirius and the Tonks family nodded their heads in approval. "I agree to it. They need to train. If Voldemort has plans of returning, these two here will have a big No. 01 target stamped on their heads. Especially after what happened that night." Said James. Even though she wanted to deny, Lily couldn't. But she asked Sirius another question. "I just remembered after hearing Voldemort's name. What happened to Pettigrew?" Sirius explained the happenings of the trial. "He deserved that. Especially after what he did." Said James, the others in the portrait agreeing with him.

"Aunt Andy, are you free today?" asked Alaya. "Yes dear. Why do you ask?" she asked. "I was wondering if you could come with us today. I also want to learn more about healing. and I need your help in picking out a few books on that topic. I feel we'll have an advantage over Voldemort and his cronies if we knew a few healing spells." She said. "Same here, Aunt Andy. I too want to learn." Said Harry. She immediately agreed. "Okay. I'll help you two out."

Ted too piped in. "I'll help you guys too. It'll be better for more to teach both of you." He said. "And may be we could ask Madame Pomfrey to help you guys out when you're at school?" added Sirius. The twins nodded at this. "That'll be great, Uncle Siri." Said Harry. Alaya, not wanting her older sister Dora to be left out, asked her "Dora, could you teach us the lessons that you learnt in your first year Auror Training?" "Of course, I will. You'll need it." She said as she agreed.

Everyone who hadn't yet gotten ready, went back to their rooms to get ready and leave for the day.
