The residents of Noir Chateau go to buy books.

"Yes Minerva. What is it?" asked Remus after Sirius joined them. The addressed teacher asked "First of all, how are Harry and Alaya able to use magic outside of school? They told us that they were training, and had finished practicing whatever they've learnt till they finished their third year." "We're staying in one of the Black Properties, the Noir Chateau. It has so many wards that the Ministry cannot detect magic being used there. And plus, it's unplottable. Hence, they're able to use magic freely." Sirius explained. They went on to give the progress report to their teachers.

The four professors were shocked AND surprised when they heard the twins' prowess and power. "Are they able to control their powers now?" asked Pomona. "Somewhat. That's the reason we're buying all these books. We actually wanted to wait until the full moon got past so that they can start afresh. It won't be of any advantage if we start practicing only two days before full moon." Said Remus. The teachers nodded. This time, Professor Flitwick asked "Is it fine if I came over to help them? I want to assess their power before they start school."

Remus and Sirius agreed. Minerva, Severus and Pomona too agreed when the two Marauders asked them. "Sirius, Remus, you said that they practiced the practical aspects of Herbology. Do you have greenhouses in your property?" asked Pomona. "Yes Pomona. We do have. We managed to procure the plants from sources that Remus and I know." Said Sirius. The Head of Hufflepuff House nodded.

"We'll help you train them. I assume you're training them in DADA, Remus?" asked Severus. "Yes Severus. I'm training them. I've already got the required books." He replied. They nodded and they too went to pay for their respective books. The group parted ways with the professors and the Potter-Black-Lupin Family and the Tonks Family went exploring the Alleyway.

They entered the store named 'Traveller's Magical Luggage' to buy new trunks, which had bigger library compartments. Mr. Traveller welcomed them into his store. "Lord Black, Lord Lupin, Mr. and Miss Potter, welcome to my store. How may I help you today?" he asked.
