After Dumbledore was arrested Madam Marchbanks took charge until the end of the year. During the summer, it was a three way run off between Minerva McGonagall, Horace Slughorn, and Filius Flitwick. McGonagall bowed out because she wanted the Quiditch Cup in her Office. She immediately had the Captain of the team do tryouts for a reserve team. Sirius and James both made the team as reserve as both a beater (Sirius) and Chaser (James). Peter ended up as a manager for the team. Remus chose to stay out of it... Narcissa told him that she was planning on joining the Slytherin team and she told him if he played against her, he would never get any benefits from his girlfriend so he decided not to play. Lily was convinced to try for seeker. She made it, barely. James, Sirius, Narcissa, Lily, And even Severus practiced Quiditch together at Potter Manor. Severus had been talked into it by Bellatrix.
The debate between Filius and Horace ended up with Slughorn becoming Headmaster, Only due to seniority. Flitwick and McGonagall ended up sharing the Deputy position.
Andromeda was Pregnant during her OWLS but ended up with Outstandings in almost all her subjects. She took the tests for all the subjects and scored barely an Exceeds Expectation for Muggle Studies, Divination, and Care for Magical Creatures.
Mad Eye Moody, was required by a Unanimous decision of every department head, to take a year of 'mandated convalescence leave.' This occurred after a 'special training' accident left 85% of the Aurors and hit wizards in the infirmary, These injuries happened during the 'Mad-eye's Realistic Threats, Dangers, and Creative Response Obstacle Course'. The course was later restructured to become the Defense and Combat Mastery Survival exam.He was thusly put on a year's leave. A special announcement was made over the Wizarding Wireless about the Aurors and hit Wizards injuries. Order of Merlin 1st Class recipient Arcturus Black was recruited to be the temporary head of the DMLE with the orders to be "as harsh as you have to be While you Forces recover" live on the wireless.
.
After Sirius and Andromeda had described the staggering advancements of the Muggles or rather, the Non-Magicals. One quick lesson on Nuclear Weapons, One not so quick lesson on the moon landing and space travel, and several very comprehensive explanations on the extensive list of Potentially very lucrative investment opportunities in Non-magical world. This discussion led The Lord Black to send all his Grandchildren.
Arcturus wrote missives to the parents of all of the companions of his Grandchildren to meet him at Kings Cross.
"Welcome, to all of you, and I offer my humble apologies for having us all meet this early in the morning. My name is Arcturus Black, I am The grandfather of some of the friends of your children. I have lived my whole life in the Wizarding part of the Magical World. I confess that I am ignorant of almost everything that the Non-Magical world has accomplished. A pair of my grandchildren have informed me of some very interesting things. But, before I get talking about my grand plans, will you please introduce yourselves." Arcturus began.
"I am Tobias Snape, I assume some of your kids may know my son, Severus. I recognize Mr. and Mrs. Evans and their daughter Petunia, We live near each other." A sallow faced man drawled in introduction.
"Hello, I am Herb Evans, This is my wife Marigold. This is our eldest daughter, Petunia. And our youngest daughter is Lily and she has just finished her 3rd year in Gryffindor house." The kind raven haired man with startlingly green eyes replied in greeting.
"Hello, I am Hope Lupin. My son is Remus Lupin also a third year Gryffindor." A kind faced blond woman explained.
"I am Constance Pettigrew, my son is Peter, also a third year Gryffindor." A plump and jovial woman said.
"Hello, I am Fleamont Potter and this is my wife, Euphemia. Our son is James he is also a third year Gryffindor." The older couple introduced. The man's graying hair appeared to be constantly windswept, and his eyes were a warm hazel. Euphemia was a kind looking woman with a heart-shaped face and milk chocolate colored hair and brown eyes.
"Hi, I am Richard Tonks and this is my wife Becky, Our son it Edward "Ted" Tonks, but he is a 5th year in Hufflepuff." Richard and Becky were average in appearance Brown blonde hair and blue eyes.
"The main reason I asked you all to meet me is because my grandchildren are all fairly well acquainted with your children, My eldest Granddaughter is Bellatrix, then Andromeda, and my youngest granddaughter is Narcissa.They are in Slytherin. My Grandson and Heir is Sirius and he is a Gryffindor third year. I wish for the members of my family including my youngest grandson, Regulus to learn of the Non-Magical World and to examine the differences by..."
"We apologize for running late, I am Allan Bones and this is Terra, my wife. Our daughter is Amelia and she is a second year Hufflepuff." came from the red heads that just walked in.
"Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Bones. Back to my plan, I want to divide the boys and the girls into separate groups. Each Group would stay in a Mug... I mean Non-Magical home. I am an old pureblood with old habits, and I am trying to learn new things and change my ways." Arcturus said while over half the group gasped. "Most of my family believed in pureblood supremacy, they believed to be one of the purebloods made them better than everyone else. They followed those beliefs and the ravings of mad man and it led to their deaths. I wish to learn about the greater world outside our small isolated piece. I want my grandchildren to learn and experience that larger world. I wanted to ask if The Evans family could host the girls?"
"Amelia can not participate this summer, She has been selected for the Junior Aurors, Program this year. They rarely ever select a second year." The Bones father said.
"Peter will have to miss out as well, we have planned to go see my mother before we run out of time"
"We would love to host this cultural sharing program for the girls but our jobs would take up almost all of our time." Mr. Evans replied.
"Oh, I failed to mention that I would fund this project and compensate you for your time, the housing and the increased food you would have to buy and cook."
"Well then, we can contact our employers and explain that we have this great opportunity before us, sweety can you go to one of the payphones and call the job and explain the situation? Since we are hosting the girls, I should hear the plans." Marigold asked.
Herb walked outside to make the call.
"What about you, Tobias? Are you going to host the boys?" Marigold asked.
Tobias Snape sneered, " Mr. Black couldn't pay me enough money to take leave from my job to teach a bunch of 'ignorant abnormal freaks' about the 'Real' world and how things work."
Petunia flinched.
Mr. Tonks chimed in, "We can host the boys, One is ours after all! We already got 2 weeks of leave from work, we can extend it for the whole summer so we can exchange information."
"I don't really understand these pounds to well, will 100,000 pounds work as a start and if you need more or you require more for anything else just have Sirius contact me." Arcturus explained. "Should your families accept to teach this summer teaching please focus on 'the continued advancements in science and technology. Current fashions and appropriate apparel, current non-Magical geopolitics and economics, modern investment procedures and methods, appearances and propriety, and current Non-Magical courting methods, activities, and do's and don'ts." Arcturus finished. "I will reimburse both families 250,000 pounds for their time and effort in educating my heir and his companions."
"That is far too much, Arcturus." Ted replied quietly.
Arcturus then asked, "Non sense. Richard can and would you be willing to act as The Family Black's contact for finacial investments and opportunities, appropriate residential property and locations, and the possibility of education in the operation, maintenance, repair, disassembly, and reassembly of motorized vehicles?" Arcturus asked, "If you could and would look into locating a remote property that might be suitable to build an adequate housing for the members of the Black family, the families of the other companions, and lodgings for the various educators that we would require to learn about your Automobiles."
"It would probably cost you more than a pretty pence. I can looked into getting that stuff but I work at a small brokerage mostly." Mr Tonks responded trailing off in thoughts about the investments.
Arcturus continued, "I would appreciate The House to include the best in all the Non-Magical technologies, conveniences, comforts, luxuries, and any and everything else an eccentric, wealthy man would include. Then, let me know the price to do it." Arcturus continued.
"All of us who live in the Plain world, can keep an eye out for the kind of property you described." Marigold Chimed in.
Herb walked back in, "We are clear with the check signers." He told his wife. The purebloods looked confused.
"What is a Check and why would it need a singer?" Fleamont asked
"A check is a piece of paper with a value of money filled in, it also has special numbers around it that means the value comes from that specific account. I can fill out a check and give it to Mr Tonks, and he can take it to a bank and either cash it, And collect the value in money, or he can deposit the check into his Account and the money will be moved from my account to his. But, If the check isn't signed by the owner of the Account then the check has no value. When you go to have a check deposited or cashed you must also endorse the check with your signature on the back. If someone took one of my checks and signed the wrong signature the bank would compare the signatures of the Account holders and if it doesn't match they will call the bobbies." Herb explained.
"Bobbies?" Euphemia asked confused.
"Constables, A police or peace officer... A law enforcement officer. (Realization dawns.)" Richard explains.
"So in short, our boss signs our paycheck to verify it is a legal check. Our paycheck is the same thing If someone wrote like a Gringotts draft for you for work you do. Do you have Drafts?" Herb asked.
"We do actually, It is for Large purchases like a house. Most less affluent families wouldn't have a clue, though." Fleamont explained.
"We actually have a draft deposited into our vault regularly for our commissions on various potions, rents for properties, ect." Euphemia clarified.
Arcturus turned back to Richard, "I am also looking to invest some money in some different companies and various technologies, is that the right word? that are being developed or will be, could you help me find someone to handle that?"
Mr Tonks laughed as did most of the Non-Magicals, "I can help you with that a brokerage handles investments and pieces of companies called stocks. And I did mention I work for one. And technologies is the plural of technology. "
"Good show. Now, I hate if this upsets anyone. Mr. Snape, here is about 300 pounds for you to leave and not bother your son when he arrives. Just go and enjoy your summer without us 'Abnormal Freaks.' Severus is currently being courted by my Granddaughter, Bella, and I would prefer if you had a more civilized attitude in our future meetings."
Then, he walked over calmly and hissed into Mr. Snape's ear, "Tobias, I personally had multiple family members pruned from my family tree when their actions looked to bring disrepute upon My Family and House. They were blood, you however are not. I didn't hesitate to send A force of Aurors with the simple words of No Quarter after my son and daughter in law when they joined that genocidal psychopath. I wouldn't lose a wink over you." Arcturus took a step back and paused.
Arcturus continued, "If you do not wish to further any animosity with us. Then, I, Arcturus Black, strongly recommended that you, Tobias Snape, seek council and to learn some information from your wife, Eileen about betrothal agreements, the Ancient and Noble houses, and the authority of the Lord of one of those houses. After learning all about that please enlighten your wife of my name and your comments about your son, about My Heir, about the heir of the Potter family, and about myself and all other Magicals here. Eileen was once the heiress to the Prince Family, I know she sacrificed all of that to go marry you, Tobias Snape. Do you, as you are now, believe that you have ever acted in a way truly worth what all she has sacrificed for you, Mr. Snape. Your son has shown the potential, drive, motivation, ambition, and cunning to seek to achieve heretofore unprecedented discoveries, creations, achievements, and accomplishments. He won my Granddaughter's interest with a potion of exceeding high quality. Do you want to be remembered by him as just one small insignificant obstacle that he had to overcome, or as the man, nay the father who changed his ways and became his unbreakable pillar of support and stood with him when he marries my granddaughter."
Arcturus ended his speech to Tobias Snape.
He then turned back to everyone else.
"I apologize for my rudeness I requested your presence to ask your assistance in educating my Grandchildren and their friends in the ways of that brave new world out those doors. I will fund all of the trips to places or events that teach them something new and different."
"Now if you all will remain here I will collect the young ones from the train, so we all don't have to fight the crowd there and back again."
Arcturus waited on the platform for his Grandchildren, As the girls stepped off of the train, he disarmed all three of them with a simple Accio.
Arcturus explained "You three won't need your wands. I have arranged for all three of you girls to stay in a Muggle House, Damn I mean Non-Magical Homes for the summer. You girls will be staying with The Evans Family, I know, You have mentioned you are acquainted with Lily.
I wish for you three to treat this as a puzzle, a challenge, or a mystery. Discover, identify, evaluate, and collect information on anything and everything. You can learn so much over this summer about the Mug...I mean Non-Magical world and write me about any discoveries, inventions, companies, or technologies that you may find interesting. Learn about whatever catches your interests. And enjoy acquiring new knowledge and experiences this summer. I will stop by randomly."
"Wait, Grandfather. Andromeda is pregnant and will definitely go into labor at some point this summer. Please, allow me to keep my wand, You can attach it with a password locked sticking charm that will tell you if it is released. But, just in case of a bad situation, please allow me to keep my wand to call the Knight Bus." Bellatrix explained.
"Alright, the pass phrase is 'Andi's water just broke.' I will have the Ministry set up a Floo entrance Point at The Evans House so you don't have to risk the baby on that purple colored monstacity." Arcturus said while attaching the wand to her holster. Then he waved his wand in a pattern the vaguely recognized.
"Notice me not charm and a Chameleon charm to keep it from sticking out." Narcissa piped up.
"Yes, That is correct dear, Cissy. Now, Let's go meet The others." Arcturus replied. The girls followed him as he headed straight to Sirius and his friends.
"Hello, Sirius." Arcturus whispered into Sirius's ear. Sirius jumped 3 feet in the air.
"My Lord." Sirius said with a bow.
"For once, I am not acting strictly as your Lord. I am here as your grandfather and Guardian. I am here to gather you and all of your friends and escort you to a room where all the parents are waiting." Arcturus explained. But, before that wands." He snapped using a nonverbal wandless accio to disarm them all. Well, everyone except Miss Lily Evans, who had a glowing wand tip right between his eyes. With no wand in his hand and his wandless Accio not strong enough to pull anything heavier than wands, and hers was protected. Plus, she was Scary Damn Fast.
"You are Lily Evans, if I remember correctly. Your sister is Petunia, Your mother is Marigold, and Your father is Herb." Arcturus stated.
"Oh, Goodie, someone can read a dossier." She snarked. "You just disarmed my friends without warning and just because you have the Black Sisters following you only means that you could be real Damn good with the Imperius, or you have at least one brave fucker to polyjuice as a pregnant woman, sudden stress can cause premature labor. Andromeda, what will your daughter trip over?"
"Nice one, but the answer is everything, she was horrible about tripping over the Troll leg umbrella stand at Grimmauld place." Andromeda answered. "These are my sisters, they haven't drank anything in over 2 hours, Bella still has her wand, and this really is my grandfather, Lord Arcturus Black. He just has a juvenile sense of hummor. Or he didn't want us freaking about something."
"Girl, you have spunk, Did you cast a Shield that fast, put an anti-summoning enchantment on your wand, or were expecting an Ambush and maintained your Constant Vigilance?" Arcturus asked.
"Great you are just like Mad-Eye Moody! Disarm first then you can talk to someone
like a person!" Lily huffed with exasperation.
"I said I liked you girl, but you are making me twitchy with that response, How in the name of all hells do you know Alastor Moody? And how in all that is holy did you find out about his eye. He just got it from the DOM This morning. As a gift for his year long sabbatical. Only 5 people have seen the new eye and none were ballsy enough to call him Mad-Eye. Well, there was that one guy from muggle worthy excuse department but he is in Saint Mungo's for 2 months, With a shattered jaw, and a scrambled brain. So, how?" Arcturus rationalized.
"You didn't tell him?" Lily asked Andromeda.
"Well, no I didn't tell him. It's your Secret."
Andromeda retorted.
"But, You did it too." Sirius whined.
"Damn it, Sirius! One damn Job!" Came the Chorus of replies.
Potter, Lupin, Pettigrew, Andromeda and Lily Evans.
"One damn Job?" Arcturus asked.
"KEEP A SECRET!" Lily huffed.
"Oh, well then that's my fault, I hit him with a wandless compulsion to yell something true." Arcturus explained. "Alastor and I trained together and served side by side against Grindewald's goons. Constant Vigilance has kept us both alive way more than we would ever admit."
"I got my memories from 1997. Sent back the day before the contracts got signed." Lily whispered.
"Am I a dark lord?" Arcturus asked.
"No, My son was fighting Tom Riddle." Lily explained.
"Now, I know I iced that bald fucker. No Horocruxes, no come back!" Arcturus began raging.
"Yeah, you killed him this time. In my timeline, Sirius never reconciled with you, Andromeda wasn't a secret pen pal, Bellatrix had already graduated and married of to Rodolphus Lestrange who was also older. Andromeda and Ted had already left school and eloped and been disowned, Narcissa should have been a 7th year, Sirius and his friends hadn't managed half the stuff they have. And Amelia Bones was A sixth year, I know because Next year is when Sirius and Remus do the great Hufflepuff Panty raid and he gets caught by a naked 7th year Amelia Bones."
"Sounds like a good story." Sirius replies.
"Goes worse than mine and James'" Lily shot back.
Sirius just slumped, "Damn."
"So, are we good, Lord Black." Lily asked.
"So, What happened to you and James?" Arcturus asked.
"A.k'd by Voldy, Halloween 1981, spent the next 16 years watching my son grow up with a sister who still hates me." Lily explained. "Now, can we drop it?"
"I guess, can you lower your wand from between my eyes?" Arcturus Retaliated.
She lowered her wand. "So, what is this big surprise you had to disarm us for?" Lily snarked.
"Let's go see all of your parents." Arcturus replied.
"What is the plan?" Sirius asked.
"I would have told you, but someone had a wand pointed between my eyes and wasted all of story time." Arcturus pouted.
"In my defense, you tried my Constant Vigilance, And got Vigilantly defeated." Lily responded.
'So, Moody train you?" Arcturus clarified.
"Nope, he was just another member of the order, A man polyjuiced as him taught my son in his fourth year, Helped guide him through a deadly tournament just to ship him Staight to a graveyard where he was the soup in a ritual to revive the dark lord. Then he got kissed by A dementor because Fudge was a cowardly, toad sucker. And now I am having weird images about Fudge and Umbridge. Urgh!" Lily replied.
"Delores Umbridge, that ugly little woman in the department for the regulation and control of Magical Creatures?" Arcturus asked.
"Kill it with fire." Lily growled.
"How bad is she?" Arcturus asked.
"As egomaniacal as Riddle, about 1/16 the strength, hates anything not pureblood or anyone she can't get power from. She is a power hungry toady who would torture kids with a blood quill. Create a muggleborn registration committee to send muggleborn to Azkaban for stealing magic from purebloods. And sent two dementors after my 15 year old son, because she wanted to shut him up about Voldemort's return. Because Lucius Malfoy was Fudge's Advisor and biggest campaign contributer." Lily explained.
"Well, we are here." Arcturus said.
The family reunions commenced. Finally Lily asked, "What's going on?"
"You didn't tell them, you were gone for 30 minutes." Fleamont growled.
"Tried to disarm them so I didn't tempt them. Worked fine with my girls, even told them, what's up? But, when I went to get the boys, and Susan and Lily, well. Lily wasn't disarmed, and I was showing off my wandless Accio." Arcturus explained.
"What did you do sweetheart?" Euphemia Potter asked.
"Specialized summoning charm, Rune mounted to wand and my hand. The only one who can summon my wand is me. And The disarming charm would only knock it away long enough for me to not just add a touch of Magic to the rune and Viola, My wand is bound to me." Lily explained.
"I am impressed,' said Mr Bones.
"Amelia's dad?" Lily asked
"Yep!" He responded back.
"So, what is going on?" Lily asked.
"You know how you kept talking about teaching Purebloods about muggle society? You are going to be in one group, And Ted is in the other."
"Awesome do we get to pick."
"Ha ha ha." Came the Chorus of laughter from all the parents.
"Girls are at the Evans House, Boys at the Tonks." Richard explained.
"But, My wife and mother of my soon to be born child is a Tonks." Ted growled.
"Girls get girl training, boys get boy training." Petunia explained.
"Petunia, I am sorry for the way I acted all that time ago. I was a Jerk. And I treated you like my father treats me. I have no excuse. I am just trying to be better. Bellatrix has been good for me. I just wish I had known then what I know now." Severus explained.
Lily and Petunia soon reconciled. Lily and the other girls begged and pleaded. "Please Petunia, teach us about what the pretty girls have to know in your world."
Petunia gave a quick lesson on proper attire for a trip to the mall, A formal request for proper funding for an educational and enjoyable excursion to learn about capitalism and the modern female teenagers apparel, adornments, accessories, and actions.
Petunia talked to her mother, "Mom, Lily and the girls asked me to teach them about everything a normal girl does in the normal world. They said that their grandfather would pay for anything if they learn something while doing it. So, I lent them some of my clothes to wear and I want to take them to the mall to see what activities non-Magical teenage girls do for recreation in a capitalist country."
Her mom shot back, "Alright, but you can't buy them all new wardrobes, just clothes for the summer. You can buy makeup to teach them application and when it is recommended to use. They may need to be introduced to how we non-magical's typically respond to our monthly visitor. Their grandfather won't ask about the trip if it included teaching them about 'Muggle' methods of dealing with menstruation.
Be sure they get their own pads, tampons, and conservative undergarments for when that occur."
Grandfather Arcturus showed up 2 days later with A Ministry Official to set up a floo for exits only.
On July 2nd, While heading down to breakfast Andromeda felt her panties get soaked. "Bella, My water just broke, will you toss in the floo powder and call out Saint Mungo's."
"Saint Mungo's"
"The Ministry of Magic apologizes for routine maintenance for the floo network. We will resume service in..7 hours and 37 Minutes...Have a Nice Day.
Bella looked at the fire in shock. "No, we are going to the hospital even if I have to kill the driver of the knight bus to do it."
She helped Andromeda to the street.
"Andi's water just broke!"
Her wand was released, She started to raise her hand when a yell stopped her.
"Bella, Here take my wand incase you need a spare." Lily said with a smile.
Bella raised her wand and the triple decker purple bus appeared out of nowhere. "Welcome to the Knight Bus..."
"Witch in labor, we need an emergency transport to Saint Mungo's immediately." Bella declared.
"We have to go in the..." The conductor began only to stop with a wand pointed between his eyes.
"Hey Ern, Take us to Saint Mungo's as smoothly and quickly as possible."
"Mac, You know my rules, I drive my way, And no one is going...I am going to drive as safely and expediantly as possible to Saint Mungo's." Ernie Changed his mind when he felt her push the second wand into his neck as well.
The conductor and driver had the safest trip they would ever have strait to the hospital. Just because they each had a wand pointed at their head by a freaking out Bellatrix had nothing to do with it.
At least that's what they said in the report that was taken after a few people had claimed that she hijacked the Bus. Bellatrix was exonerated of the charges.
"Bellatrix come meet your niece, Nymphadora Drusilla Tonks."
"Drusilla, where is the love little sister?" Bella replied.
"Fine, Nymphadora Bellatrix Tonks." Andromeda accepted.
"Bella's little Nymphy. We are going to be the best friends." Bellatrix cooed.
The next several months went by in a flash.
Andromeda's score for Muggle studies was challenged, by the Ministry testing agent talking to a muggleborn. The Ministry testing department on the subject of Muggle Studies was in a quandry, so he did what any true academic does. He went to a college professor. He asked him to answer the questions on the test. And then he asked him why this, instead of that. "That would have been the answer 45 years ago and longer but Things change especially since World War 2." He went back to the Ministry with the new Answers and explained the whys and whyfors. Andromeda had taken the Divination Owl without ever taking the class just like Muggle Studies. Andromeda score soon became Outstanding for muggle studies.
Andromeda's Divination score kept rising randomly over the next year after everything she predicted, from the best muggle song of the year to the winning World cup teams in Quiditch and Football (Soccer) came true.
Moody was then requested by Arcturus Black as part of the Board of Governors to teach at Hogwarts for that year. Arcturus told Moody that his Granddaughters and Grandsons were All attending that year. He accepted under the proviso that he would do things his way and Every student had to attend his classes.. The graduates that year and the three years following had graduates that would become the best Auror and healer candidates ever. 100% of those who had applied completed training. The Graduates had a little Motto, "We Survived and passed A year of Mad-eye Moody on a serious training kick. What could you possibly throw at us that would make us quit?" After Professor Moody got fully disarmed by Bellatrix Black in his first NEWT Class, He made her an Aprentice for her studies until Mastery in Defense. He was also disarmed by Lily Evans, Andromeda tonks and was banished into a wall by Sirius Black.
Kreature had decided, after many talks with Regulus, Arcturus, Missy Cissy, and Missy Bella, that Young Missy Nymphy Dora was the shining example of the New Future for the Black Family .
Andromeda talked Arcturus into buying Barty Crouch's family elf, Winky. Dobby was Sirius's personal elf. Winky was Lord Arcturus And Narcissa's elf. Kreature was shared by Regulus and Bellatrix. Andromeda didn't really need a house elf, until she had a newborn and was trying to go to school.Kreature had a panic attack when Nymphadora stood up and walked over to him and hugged him when he brought in a tea service for the family. He came in, Nym saw him, she stood up, He went to the table, she started taking steps toward him, He set down the service, bowed and turned around to get a 10 month old Nymphadora Tonks give him a big hug. Her parents were thrilled that she walked clear across the room her first time. Kreature had a panic attack because he wasn't watching her and she could have been hurt, and she was hugging him when Walburga discouraged physical affection, brutal physical punishment, yes. Physical, really Any affection, No. The best he got before this had been Lord Arcturus telling him he was doing a "Great Job" and that "if you keep it up, You'll be the best head elf for the Black Family." It was then decided that Winky would help Andromeda when she could, However, Kreature was fiercely protective of his "truly gifted, blessed, and amazing little Mistress Nymphy Dora Black." He was corrected that her last name was Tonks, and she became Nymphy Dora Black-Tonks. All her records were later discovered to have had her name changed to Black-Tonks. And if they tried to get it changed the paperwork was found in the trash cans in their office a week after they were turned in, The last had a note stating: "Name change was denied because I am not going to piss off a house elf with a crossbow pointed at my genitalia." They stopped trying after that. Andromeda's name was found to be Andromeda Black-Tonks on all her documents 2 weeks after the Nymphadora Incident. They All accepted a hyphen after that.
Bellatrix was awarded Outstandings on All her NEWTS after some adjustments. She even took the muggle studies OWL and NEWT after a summer of Immersive education with Lily, Andromeda, and Narcissa.
Andromeda and Lily were shocked when Bellatrix Black became the rookie Auror with the highest arrest record.
Andromeda became an Aprentice to Poppy Pomfrey in healing and then was offered one with Horace Slughorn in potions, because he was getting bored.
Andromeda had a freak out during her NEWTS when Nymphadora disappeared the night before her Exams. She called Ted, and he joined her in freaking out. When Headmaster Slughorn caught her after curfew and explained that Bella had decided that babysitting her niece while they took their NEWTs was the responsibile thing to do. Andromeda thanked her sister and asked her to tell one of the parents before taking off with their daughter was required, She just asked why didn't they ask Kreature, Andromeda and Ted just looked gobsmacked.
The next year, Slughorn went back to teaching Potions and Filius Flitwick became Headmaster. Minerva wasn't taking the office until she lost lost the Quiditch Cup for more than 2 years in a row.
Aunt Bella took Nymphy out when she was 3 on the knight bus, with a stern look promising pain, death, and suffering if her niece got hurt.Aunt Bella took Little Nymphy for ice cream at Fortescue's Grand opening in Diagon Alley.
The years went on with Gryffindor winning the Quiditch Cup every year for the next three years with Slytherin a very close second. The Marauders made their pranks more funny for every body and less defiance against future death eaters.
Lily graduated 1st in her class overall, Severus beat her in potions by a single point, Remus beat her in her defense, James beat her in Transfiguration, and Sirius was 4th overall.
Everyone in Hogwarts was happy beyond measure when James and Lily got Married. their wedding was a much bigger affair than they Predicted. Sirius showed up with Amelia. Best man and maid of honor then swapped places with the bride and groom. Finally before the confused Wedding bonder could declare everything finished. Severus Snape and Bellatrix Black got married as well.
10 months later a slew of births occurred
Neville Francis Longbottom July 30.
Harry James Potter, July 31.
Susan Amelia Bones, August 1
Draco Remus Lupin, August 13
Jimmy Bones-Black, July 31
and Megan Alice Pettigrew August 2.
The kids all grew up together and visited Grandpa Arcturus, Every Friday at 2.
Soon Nymphy went to school and she had a blast until someone made the wrong comment about her Name and then made a worse insinuation about her career goals in life. When Aunty Bella walked around the corner Nymphy smiled and was giggling in joy. John Dawlish soon realized something, Nymphadora Black-Tonks, Nymphadora Bellatrix Black-Tonks, Bellatrix Black, Bellatrix Black- Snape. The best Auror to ever come out of the Academy. The Auror who casts more fear than 10 dementors. It was tested. And Dawlish had just insulted her Favorite niece, Her Namesake. And he just insinuated that Bellatrix favorite niece would only be a good whore...
John Dawlish survived, After several surgeries, and repeated revivals. His shattered left testicle still ached anytime someone said Nym, Bella, Auror, and ...Whore. He decided to abandon his goal of being an Auror and decide to go into healing...Only to run into Andromeda Black-Tonks looking over the healer's Aprentice paperwork. He just threw his in the fire.
"Why did you quit?" Andromeda asked.
"I Started wanting to be an Auror, then I made a really bad decision when teasing a firsty. Number 1, I made insults that were demeaning, Untrue, And I insulted her and insinuated she should be a Whore. Turns out the firsty was niece to the best Auror in the UK.I just got out of my last surgery."
"You insulted Susan, how are you alive?"
"I didn't insult Susan, I insulted your daughter. That's why I gave up on being a healer. Forget Decent at anything, Try just average. That is my goal now.
Arcturus waited his time. He portkeyed into the office of Delores Umbridge. He trapped her in a crystal Jar, and then followed Lily Evans Potter's Advice. He killed it with fire, Fiend Fyre.
The new recruit was one John Dawlish. He saw the burning crystal and flung it to the ground. He never learned that you never release Fiendfyre from its prison.
McGonagall was predicted she would lose for the second year in a row, until a week after the opening match to Slytherin that Gryffindor lost by 140 points, Filius Flitwick gave special permission for then first year Charlie Weasley to become the youngest seeker in 90 years. He caught the snitch for the next two games and in a rare event their was a tie between Slytherin and Gryffindor 620-620, 2 wins, 1 loss each. The cup would have defaulted to Slytherin, but Slughorn negotiated a tie breaker game winner takes all game. Charlie caught the snitch 13 minutes into the game. The score came up 180-60 for Gryffindor.
Horace Slughorn retired after Charlie's fifth year. He gave a little advice to the boy.
"Mr Weasley, If you truly love the job you do, then you never realy work at all.
The replacement potions Professor came from Beaubatons. She got replaced by healers from Saint Mungo's that rotated yearly until 1991.
The next year was Harry Potter's first year. Flitwick decided after the first flying class, with 3 students conducting 80 foot dives after Neville Longbottom's remembrall fell out of his pocket after his broom malfunctioned and began rising uncontrolled while he was trying to land. Madam Hooch went after Neville, Harry Potter, Susan Bones, Draco Lupin, Jimmy Bones-Black, and Megan Pettigrew were spotting her incase something happened. Draco Lupin, Harry Potter, and Susan Bones all broke off to catch the ball fell past them. Harry caught it by one by a knuckles length over Susan Bones. They all got a detention, a flying class safety seminar, written and verbal reports on the rules, regulations, and fouls in Quiditch with special emphasis on the role of seeker and what fouls may occur. They got an O on their reports and tryouts with their house teams as seekers. They requested for their friends to tryout as reserves. This led to all four houses having a full team of reserves the next year. And after a Long debate between the Board of Governors, Headmaster Flitwick, Newly reinstalled Deputy Headmistress McGonagall, Madam Pomfrey, Newly appointed Head of Slytherin and Potions Mistress Andromeda Black-Tonks it was decided they could join.
Their second year alot more people decided to join Quiditch. By the second week they had all four teams filled. They all also had a team of reserves. This brought in the Junior and senior teams. They were the best team. Harry was picked for the Senior team and Ginny became the junior team Seeker.
Nymphadora Tonks beat her aunts record while in her rookie year with Aunty Bella as her Senior Auror Trainee..
The Gryffindor team dominated until Harry Potter's fifth year. He turned down the prefect position because Neville's Crush was the girls prefect for Hufflepuff Hannah Abbott. Harry started Hanging out with Susan while Neville started flirting with Hannah. Eventully Neville kissed Hannah.
Harry's fifth year became The Year he lost. During his second game, Harry had been chasing the snitch along the ground when one Bludger Smacked another at speed. The hit damaged the charms to Lessen the damge. The ricochet bludger hit the middle of his back at almost 110 Miles per hour. The crack of his spine was said to be heard in the three Broomsticks during a drinking contest, The bar went silent and the drinking game ended when the scream was heard coming from Hogwarts. Susan Bones spent almost the rest of the year beside him as he relearned to walk. He only flew for fun after that. The last Hogsmede Weekend Harry asked Susan on a date. They had a blast and began studying together to get him up to snuff for his OWLs. During A Mix up Harry and Susan took All their tests but none of the students looked familiar, And the test were much harder than they thought.
By the end of the testing week they were called to Flitwick's Office.
"How did Your tests go?" Flitwick asked jovially.
"They were a lot harder than we imagined."
Harry answered.
"Yeah, the professors were not joking about the OWLs Really testing you."
"Wait, You thought you were taking your OWLs?"
"What do you mean? 5th Year means OWLs. of course we thought we Took our OWLs. Do we have to do them all over again." Susan pouted.
"You two are the youngest Graduates from Hogwarts. All Outstandings on your NEWTS. Congratulations." Filius said.
"Wha,..What..who..how..NEWTS?"
The couple blundered, screeched, and passed out.
"Now, to start writing letters to parents, and whats worse is they never took their career counseling sessions." Minerva deadpanned.
Sirius was impressed. "Lily, you should tell him why you dared me to be friends with Snape."
Lily blinked at him. "Now, You think this is really the right time, now?" She laughed out.
Next time, Lily comes clean.
