Chapter 2 New Lives

Dumbledore led the now small crowd up to the Griyffindor portrait, but then made an odd turn left down a previously unnoticed corridor. The present students watched in puzzlement as he reached another portrait, this one of a Large Golden Dragon.

Merlin then stepped forward and said in a language they couldn't understand: 'Drazuk kio'ploe htantoas' The others looked on in amazement all except Dumbledore and Harry. Harry had heard Merlin greet the dragon, and told him that Harry was his new master, and that everyone would like to go in.

The Dragon bowed in the picture and said: 'Welcome Lord, I hope you enjoy your stay here' with that the portrait swung open to revile a large room, it had many corridors go of and had a huge fire roaring in the grate, Harry and the original people recognized it as the room they were originally summoned into. Merlin led them in and turned to say: 'This is your accommodation for tonight, if you look down the hallways then you will find a room with your name on it, this will always be open for you and you will be able to apparate into them from any were in this world if danger should threaten you, but more of that later. Please go to your rooms now and rest.

Everyone made their way to their rooms and after a brief but very embarrassing 5 minutes from the new weds, after finding out that they were sharing a room they went to sleep. After realizing what had happened, they quietly went into their rooms and soon there night was ending.

The next morning Harry and Ginny woke up feeling replete. They dressed and made there way had in hand to the lounge, here they found Ron and Hermione. They nodded decisively at each other and set out for the great hall. When they got there they were surprised to see that everyone was already up and having breakfast. They made their way to some vacant seats and started to eat, after a few moments Sirius looked at them and smiled: 'So the newly weds finally made it our of bed then ehh?' The four looked at their plates, going red, which caused the others in the hall to burst out in laughter.

After breakfast Merlin spoke again: 'You will all know that Voldomort has risen again.' ignoring the winces he carried on '.this is why I have decided to stay in this time for a few months. I will help Prof. Dumbledore with the teaching aspect of the school and help the young ones with their new powers'. Everyone was excited about this, Merlin teaching in Hogwarts and started whispering happily, but Merlin ignored this and continued:

'I sense that the young ones wish to ask something so I will shut up' Harry looked at Merlin and smiled, 'Thanks Grandfather I .' Before you start Harry I should tell you is another in this room that should receive that title, Albus please come over here' The room went quiet as Dumbledore walked over to Harry and hugged him again, after a second's hesitation Harry hugged back and saw Sirius smiling broadly. 'Now that has been cleared up Harry would you continue? Harry looked around his now, increased, family and smiled' 'There are two things I would like to know, First is, can we stay as we are when we get back to school? We all talked last night and have decided to stay like we are, we could take the OWLS and the NEWTS as soon as possible as we all feel that we could do them, this would help us and you as we could help teach some classes, help the students with any problems and prepare for the war?' Merlin looked at Harry sternly for a second but then he smiled, 'Yes you can all stay as you are, it is a very good idea for you to do this, may I ask who thought up this plan' 'Yes, it was Hermione' Harry said. Merlin looked at Hermione with a look of pride and then turned back to Harry, 'And the second thing?' 'Last night we were having a look around and we found a room with the Name 'The Druid' on the door, who's is it?' Merlin gave a small laugh and said: 'The Druid Harry is an Elf, but a very unusual elf. There is a new Druid born into the Elven world once every 3000 years, and this happened but 18 years ago. The druid this time however is not a normal elf he is a giant elf. He is almost 7 feet tall and very strong, but slow, this is because his totem is the mountain. This is a very unusual trait in an Elf, as they are usually very fast, He will come and help you in due course. His name is Nalio. You will learn more about him when he arrives' Harry looked as though he wanted to now more but he bit back asking until later,

Merlin then continued: 'Now to the logistics of the next few months. I have spoken to Prof. Dumbledore, and we have decided to introduce some new subjects this year. They will be Ancient Magic, Dueling, Nature Magic and Healing Magic. I will take Ancient Magic, a friend of my will teach the Healing Magic, when Nalio arrives he will teach the Nature Magic and the Dueling class we be taught by my good friend and son in law Sirius Black'

Merlin sat back and grinned. Harry turned to Sirius and looked at him with amazement for a few moments, and then he started to speak, 'I have been one of the top Unmentionables in the country for the last 10 years, Peter Petigrew was caught by Aurours and confessed to everything, and I was given the job of being sent to Ackazban and sounding out the inmates and Dementors. I have now finished that and have returned to teach. Harry I'm sorry I couldn't tell you, but if I had it would have put you and others into even more danger. That is why my wife has never come forward to help you until now. Nimway you can come out now.' He had shouted the last bit and a large black bird flew down from the rafters of the great hall, and landed on Sirius's lap, were it changed into a women, she was quite small with long dark hair and a deep tan. She kissed Sirius and then turned towards Harry and said 'We'll talk later just the four of us'

Merlin coughed and Nimway got off Sirius and sat down next to him, her smile almost matching his. 'There is one last thing that most be down today, by Myself and that is to hand over the others their staffs.yes you do have staffs.' Merlin said looking at the bemused expressions on the three teens faces '.You have one from you counterpart in my time.' Then Merlin moved his hand in a strange way and three staffs dropped into the lap of the awaiting teenagers, they looked at them and smiled. Merlin looked into the smiling faces of the four, and sighed, remembering the night that they had all got their staffs all those years ago. But now to the present. 'I will now hand you over to Albus who has something to say.

'Thank you Merlin, now I am afraid I will have to be serious for a few minutes. Many of you will have known about the Order of the Phoenix, when Voldomort was original terrorizing the world.' The adults nodded leaving the younger members of the room to look confused.

'.Well I propose to start the order up again, but under a different name, as there will be many dark wizards who know of the order. I propose that the new order will be called the Order of the Dragon and I ask everyone in this room to join. You all have the option to refuse and if you do your memory will be modified so you will have no memory of this event.' He looked around and saw the determined looks around him and smiled 'Is there anyone in this room who doesn't wish to join the order' Silence, 'that's is most pleasing. There will be three leaders of this Order, they will be Myself, Merlin and Harry Potter.' he turned to Harry, '.do you accept' Harry for the hundredth time this week was shocked but forced himself to nod his agreement. Dumbledore looked overjoyed and replied by saying 'Right you will each be contacted later in the year about what to do, but that's enough for the moment, let us eat dinner as we have been talking for a long time. I suggest you all get another earlier night as I will be arranging for your four to sit your OWLs and NEWTs in a week or so'

With that they started to eat again and then retired to their room as the night rolled on.
