Remus and Sirius were gaping at the Minister Cornelius Oswald Fudge, Head of the DMLE Amelia Susan Bones and the Head Auror Rufus Edward Scrimgeour. "You really think we're the ones who you want to take the posts?" asked Sirius, after he composed himself.

"Yes Mr. Black. We want you two to take up those positions." The Minister said. "We need some time to think over it." Said Remus after he shared a look with his best mate. The Ministry Heads agreed to this. "Just one thing. You'll need to tell us as soon as possible. The World Cup quarterfinals are coming up and we'll need your help. Especially you, Lord Black." Said Amelia.

The Marauders nodded and at this and went back to Noir Chateau using Cornelius' private floo.

Harry, Alaya, Dora and the other children in the Manor were gaping at the Marauder duo when they told the residents about the offers. "I think you should take it, Sirius." Said Susan. It had been cleared that Remus and Sirius were to be addressed by their first names while inside the Chateau wards within the first couple of days. Harry and Alaya nodded at this. "Yes Uncle Paddy. You should. It'll be a good break for you once all of us go to Hogwarts. And plus, we'll get free tickets to the quidditch finals." Said Harry. The others laughed at this and Remus ruffled Harry's hair with a smile.

"Okay then. Remus, I think we should leave these kids alone for the day and write our letters to the Minister then." Suggested Sirius. Remus nodded. "Yes Sirius. You're right. And plus, you have a lot of work this summer." Chirruped Remus. The others congratulated the two men before making their way to the back patio.
