A NEW BEGINNING

38. The Meeting

PREVIOUSLY IN A NEW BEGINNING

Harry's and Alaya's friends join them in their lessons.

________________________________________

Harry and Alaya were having private etiquette lessons from Sirius and Andromeda respectively as they were going to represent the houses that they were heading. When this was going on, Ted would take care of the healing lessons so that they could catch up and join the twins in their classes soon enough. Dora and Remus were doing the same with the physical training, endurance and core strengthening classes.

Sirius had spoken to Susan's aunt and the head of the DMLE Amelia Bones, Ron and Ginny's father Arthur Weasley, Neville's grandmother Augusta Longbottom, Luna's father Xenophilius Lovegood and Hannah's parents Lord Michael Abbott and Lady Alicia Abbott about them taking up the endurance training.

Arthur immediately agreed due to his daughter being a victim of Lord Voldemort in her first year and he didn't want her to be unprepared. When the others asked what that was about, Sirius and Arthur went on to explain what happened the year before last. Sirius had thankfully taken Harry's and Alaya's memories and showed it to everyone. He then proceeded to show Harry's first year memories after everyone got a breather from witnessing the Chamber of Secrets incidents.

The others too agreed to their wards taking up those lessons. "After seeing all of these, I have a very bad feeling that Voldemort is going to make a very stunning return." Said Amelia. "You should show these memories to Cornelius, Sirius. None of us would want the Ministry, especially the DMLE and the related departments to be underprepared when he comes back." "Yes Amelia. I am going to do that in the upcoming Wizengamot session. I already told Dumbledore of this and he's agreed for me to bring it up. I showed it to all of you because I'll need backing up from you as well, not only from Remus, Harry and Alaya." Said Sirius, as he raked a hand through his hair. "Don't worry, Sirius. We'll back you up." Said Augusta before she asked "How are the children doing in terms of their studies?" This caught everyone's attention as they too wanted to know the progress.

"Oh, they're doing brilliant. They've already finished whatever spells that are to be taught in their fourth and fifth year text books and have moved on to the extra spells and potions from the books suggested by the teachers themselves. I wanted to move on to teaching them duelling and the First year Auror training. But I also wanted to wait until you agree to it. I'll tell them that you've all agreed and get started." He said.

The others agreed and got up as they had to leave. All of them shook hands and went back to their respective manors and houses after meeting their wards.
