Authors Note: I do not in any way shape or form own Harry Potter. If I did, well by goodness wouldn't that be awesome. The only thing I do own would be the original characters portrayed in this chapter along with the plot for this chapter and the novela it comes from.

Addition! : I have not found the time to indulge myself in some of Rowlings new works and it is because of that reason why I ask you not to completely rage on me for portraying any of the Next Generation or Marauder Age characters incorrectly. I will accept some advice on how they may be portrayed *I have gone online and looked for anything I could* and will take that into account for future chapters and the fanfictions in general.

"I wonder were they rushed of to." Andromeda wondered as she turned to her grandson, everyone else was soon to follow. Teddy merely turned a page in his newest book not bothering to spare the others a glance as he spoke.

"Not my place to say and frankly she scares me more."

"Okay, what of Spencer and Sharada?" He shrugged and Albus was surprised that Aunt Hermione hadn't smited him at that moment.

"Does it happen often?" This time it was his father speaking with an unknown look in his eye. Teddy shrugged as he continued skin his book and all attention turned to the depressed looking Randy.

"Who knows." He shrugged, "She is always running errands spontaneously. The extra work adds stress and sure enough she's sick on a monthly bases." He leaned back in his chair and almost instantly Albus could see the reaction from the young females of his family. How one man could be so suave... was beyond him. "Never could say no." He shrugged once more and though the teen didn't know the look that passed between his father and Uncle Bill he knew that they knew more to this situation given the little information they were given.

"Don't worry about it. She'll be back." His father continued, Randy glanced over seemingly ready to interrupt but his father beat him to it. "You'll know if something goes amiss."

Dinner was soon served, eaten and cleaned. During the whole ordeal he caught Randy send everything from glares to sneers at Fred who busied himself with either Teddy or James. Uncle Charlie sent word via owl that he'd be missing not only dinner but most of the break, said that he would explain once he got here and to read the prophet. Which was exactly what the family had done when the owl flew in after dinner. What was on the paper sent his grandmothers home into complete silence for the first time in all the years he had been around.

ATTACK AT HOGWARTS!
RECONSTRUCTION AND INVESTIGATION
IN PROCESS.

Earlier in the day reports and Aurors were sent to Hogwarts in attempt to verify a potential attack from an anonymous tipster. Upon arrival Aurors found the school student free and eerily calm, nothing seemingly out of the normal due to the holidays. It wasn't until Auror Annabelle Vortex found and removed a complex and almost unnoticed charm did the once peaceful looking and sounding school erupt into chaos. Spells and Screams echoing from seemingly every part of the grounds, Forbidden Forest included.

His father cleared his throat stopping the reading before turning to his Uncle Ron and returning back to the paper.

The two Aurors fought their way through countless charms, barriers and spells; stepping over the deceased, healing and injured. Finally after what felt like hours the two entered the Great Hall, where they were informed the resistance was holding out. The only discription given by the two Aurors about the scene they walked into was, 'A massive battle with hexes, charms, spells and unforgivables being thrown back and forth. In the center of the room stood a band of Professors guarding the few students who remained at the school for the holidays and their fellow injured co-workers.

"Why that's Uncle Charlie, Professor Frau and Professor Evariste!" Rose gasped out as the image reflected to the front of the paper for them to see.

"That's wood!" Aunt Hermione added, "And Professor McGonagall."

Among the wounded was the schools current headmaster. Former Headmaster Minerva McGonagal explained that moments after her arrival at the school they were attacked and since it is suspected that this was a inside coup attempt all teachers will be investigated.

"With the number of non-bloods and half having received the blunt of the attack it is hard not to assume. Especially with the second war still fresh in the majority of our staff, council and populations mind." McGonagal's voice spoke, "It's for that very reason along with other matters that have been brought to the Ministries attention why I've accepted the offer to be reinstated as Headmistress at Hogwarts.

"WHAT?"

Albus chuckled with his fellow students at the sudden, but familiar outburst.

"Subtle. Not a word often used to describe Professor Frau." James explained at his fathers confused expression.

"We will work night and day to restore Hogwarts to her rightful beauty before the Holidays are up. This is why I must apologize to the friends, family and loved ones of my staff. Thank you."

His father closed the paper no longer wanting to see the horrifying images that plagued the paper. Ron arrived back and almost instantly the adults were ushered out of the room, if the grim look on his face meant anything it was nothing good. "Who'd attack Hogwarts?" Rose finally spoke up moments after the adults left.

"Especially the moment McGonagall arrived." Randy frowned as he leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees, Albus rolled his eyes at the looks he was receiving. If he didn't know the Americans any better he would have figured they be part Veela with the amount of attention they received. "Why don't people understand that old muggles and old mages are different?" He added with a chuckle.

"What do you mean?" James asked with an arched brow as he crossed his legs.

"Old muggles lose power, strength, sanity and usage at the age of fifty." Randy explained, "Old mages are twice that age and while they may be losing their ability to get around you still don't 'tip them over', why? Because we all know not to piss off an elderly mage, they have magic practically radiating off of them." He sighed and flipped his bangs out of his eyes, "I swear old muggle idioms and sayings are meant for witches and wizards."

"At least Professor Frau isn't bored." Rose offered during the pregnant silence.

Ending note: Needless to say that this was taken out of the middle of a chapter, I didn't want to give too much away but wanted to give you a little taste of what was to come.
