"That small group. That's all we need. They will protect the whole world. The biggest threat there was, Voldemort himself, is gone but who knows when the new Voldemort can be born. This is a good idea. These people can do it." Very familiar voice of Kingsley Shacklebolt.
He was talking to four other man. They were all sitting around a small table in some muggle restaurant. Wearing a black muggle suit Kingsley looked completely different than usual. He was fitting in. Next to him sat a man with a short light brown hair, blue eyes dressed in black jeans and a dark green shirt with a leather jacket over. Right by his side was another man with a hair a few shades lighter and eyes piercing blue. While the first man had an easy-going gentle vibe all over him, the second one had a smug smirk on his face. Just by his appearance you could see he was a self-absorbed egoist.
"I agree completely. Lydia and Stiles will be there in time." Said the first guy.
"Oh I don't doubt that Mr. Argent. And I hope we won't have any problems with kids you're sending." Kingsley replied.
"Maybe they have a bit of a history but they are on the fine now, trust me on that." The other guy said exclaiming venomously second sentence.
"Come now Peter, they are going to be an interesting little group. They have a 1000 years old hybrid, evil dead spirit possessing a young boy and amongst others the teenage Deatheater." Sarcastically entered the new voice. The voice belonged to a guy sitting next to Peter Hale. Light brown eyes were looking at Kingsley. He wanted to continue when he got interrupted by man dressed in suit sitting next to him.
"Not that I don't appreciate the sarcasm, Alaric, I can assure you that my siblings will behave at their best" Elijah Mikaelson said calmly.
"That is good to know." Spat Peter.
The atmosphere was getting a bit out of hand. Everyone was worried about this plan but they knew it was a right thing to do. They all agreed on the idea, but there were some details to work though. All of them were the elders of the group that was to come for training.
The conversation was interrupted when the older witch approached the table. She was wearing a long black dress with a coat over it obviously trying to fit in. She sat next to Kingsley.
"Good to have you here headmisterss" Kingsley said as the woman removed her hat and gray hair fell over her shoulders.
"Oh I am glad to be the part of the project dear Minister." She said with a small smile.
"Ah, famous professor McGonagall, it's such a pleasure to meet you." Peter planted a kiss on her hand with a devilish smile.
"Mr. Hale, same here. I do hope we will be able to cooperate on this without any problems from you." She said calmly making Peter frown." As I expect the same from you Mr. Mikaelson." Minerva continued turning to Elijah who was sitting on her left.
"You have nothing to worry about" he nodded.
"I sure do hope so. These are my students there. And both of you do have a certain reputation. Don't get this the wrong way, we are to work together on this after all and I have to make sure my students will be safe" she said in her usual tone.
"Perhaps it is your students that we should be afraid of. There is Deatheater in your group after all." Peter said crossing his arms on his chest.
"The person you're referring to is a FORMER Deatheater. He got his punishment and gained my trust when he stood up for himself at the Battle of Hogwarts. And when his mother saved the life of the only person able of defeating Tom Riddle. He is also a very talented young man and we sure will use his skills." McGonagall exclaimed. Kingsley nodded in approval.
They were all silent now. McGonagall was going through some papers. So were Alaric and Chris. Kingsley was whispering something with Peter. Elijah got out for a phone call. When he got back it looked like everyone was waiting for him. He sat down and took a sip of his tea. Alaric cleared his throat.
"So where will they stay?"
"Our house in New Orleans would be too small. Maybe Marcellus will share his building with us. But there is no guarantees." Elijah said.
"There will be no need for that Mr. Mikaelson. If everyone agrees I think it would be the best to place them all in Hogwarts. We can teach them like every other student. They will be placed in Houses and will train together." Minerva added.
That was actually a great idea. There was one problem though. Where would the other students be? Everyone was trying to think of something.
"What if you used your magic to make the exact same replica of the castle for them? They will be fighting for the whole world , the least we can do is give them some comfort in all of that." The idea came from Chris Argent.
After a moment of silence Alaric turned to Kingsley.
"Is that possible?"
"It will take a lot of time and a few more wizards. But yes, it is possible." Kingsley answered after McGonagall nodded at him.
"So that's it then. We will be making another castle for the group. I will make sure it is hidden. It will take a month for it to be over. They will be sorted in Houses. I will personally visit it every day." McGonagall said proudly.
"Don't forget that Deaton will also be there all the time." Chris added.
"I was actually thinking of putting him in charge of the whole place. He can deal with all of them." Kingsley said before Minerva got to answer. "The rest will be able to visit once in two weeks. And if there is no any other questions we can all go."
"There is one more thing. Alaric and I were wondering about something." Elijah got the attention of everyone. "The group that we will be sending is going to need…well let's call it a special diet."
"That will be taken care of. They won't be allowed feed on the others. They will be supplied from the blood bank. And make sure they know that Mr. Mikaelson." Kingsley said politely. "Is there anything else you want to know about?" he was now speaking to everyone. No one said anything.
"Well then this is it. We will get working on the castle and in month and a half we will have a feast at the new Hogwarts and introductions will be made properly and so will be the rules." Kingsley finished. Everyone got up saying polite goodbyes and leaving the place together.
