Harry Potter, Nymphadora Tonks, Ron Weasley, Victor Krum, Hogwarts, Durmstrang, everything in the books… these are several of the millions of things that I, sadly do not own. Only Janté, the Amourticus spell, and the cult are mine.

Training Begins

Four Months and fifteen days after the Final Battle
(First Monday of October)

"All right now. Listen up. For those who do not know me, you can call me Tonks. I am going to be one of your trainers for the next three years, so you have better learn what I have to teach you. Your life could depend on it. Now, everyone, introduce yourselves to each other along with something about you and what school you went to. Say something you are good at. If you already know the person, then great. Do you have a significant someone? What is their name? Now begin!"

"My name is Ron Weasley. I went to Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Great Britain. I enjoy playing Quiddich, and my girlfriend Hermione helped defeat Voldemort with her spell."

Ron spoke the last part rather quickly. It still seemed so new to him, although he and Hermione had been going rather steady for the last three months. He always told people about the spell that she had invented, the spell, which combined love and death, and destroyed evil magic, which only a few people could cast.

"Thank you Ron. Next!"

"My name es Janté Stellete. I went to de Academy of Magic en Spain. I adore gatos… cats. I do not have anyone important."

"Thank you Janté."

The next person to introduce himself caused several people in the group to start whispering. It was almost well known that this was not his first choice in careers. After all, it had only been a year and a half since his terrible accident. The accident had made him unable to play professional Quiddich ever again.

"My name is Victor Krum. I vent to Durmstrang. I play—played for the Bulgaria national Quiddich team. My girlfriend, her name ez Evelita."

"Thank you Victor. I am so sorry about your accident."

"Thank you Miz Tonkz. You are very kind."

"Next."

"My name is Harry Potter, and I also went to Hogwarts. Ron and his girlfriend are my best friends. I have no girlfriend, nor do I want one now."

"You defeated you-know-who, I mean Voldemort! Shouldn't you have said that as well? I mean, that makes you practically famous!"

"Ye, I could have, I suppose. It just is not that important to me."

"Why not?"

"Because I do not want that to make up who I really am. Yes, ridding the world of Voldemort in a good thing, but I just do not want to be known only for that. I want to go out and create my own future; I do not want to be known only by the fact that I fulfilled a prophecy that was made before I was even born. I want to create my own life. Now, Tonks, can we finish up with the introductions? Maybe you should also join in and introduce yourself? Say something about you? There are many things that are quite interesting."

"Oh all right then. My name is Tonks, and I will not tell you my given name. I can change my appearance at will, as I am a metamorphous. And my personal life is none of your business. So, now that you know something about each other, head over to Kingsley over there to receive your schedules. Ron, Harry, stay with me for a moment, there is something which I need to share with you two."

When everyone else was gone, Tonks turned to the two of them. Her face was grim.

As you two are members of the Order of the Phoenix, I have decided that you two will be the first of the new trainees to learn about the new threat. Yes, it has only been four months since Lord Voldemort was killed, and Harry, you did the world a great deed when you did it, but the point is, there have been a number of odd disappearances of former Death Eaters since then. My theory is that…"

Tonks continued talking, but Harry had stopped listening. What was that that he just felt when she was commenting on his killing lord Voldemort back in June? He had never felt remotely like that before. It was somewhat like how he had felt when he had been…

Before he could continue pondering this bit of information, Ron jabbed him in his side with his elbow. Harry looked over at Ron, who gestured weakly towards Tonks, mouthing, "Listen to her."

As Harry once again started to pay attention to what she was saying, he felt himself coming back to reality by the shocking contents of what Tonks was actually was saying to them.

"…And so I told him that it was probably a cult of some sort who was out to rid the world of all evil. Although the group consider themselves to be the saviors of the wizarding world, they themselves brutally kill their victims so that they cannot be recognized by appearance alone. This forces the aurors into doing magical tests on the remains, and because there have been many, though it has remained relatively unknown to the rest of the world; this has been spreading us rather thin. I am worried over the fact that there might be plans to attack the Ministry of Magic.

Ron and Harry were sickened that there would people in the world that would use violence to fight violence. But of course, there were people all around the world that used this method… for Wizard and Muggle alike. It sadly, was one of the bitter truths of the world. A bitter truth that both Ron and Harry hoped from that moment on to devote as much time as was necessary to rid the world of as much of that evil as possible.
