-September 1st, 1994, the Welcoming Feast-

(Sirius's P.O.V.)

I smiled softly as I gazed upon the returning students at the tables as I sat next to Remus, still not believing that Harry and Cedric gave me the position of DADA teacher for 1st-4th years while Remus retained the higher position of DADA, going for 5th-7th years. Or that the DADA classroom was cursed by Tom Riddle as someone has pointed out to me and Remus at home during this recent summer after we told numerous stories...

I think Remus was stupefied more than I was. Thankfully, Bill Prewett is working upon it with a couple of goblins while a duo of classrooms has offered its use for DADA, through they both connect to our chambers...It's crazy to think that some of the Prewetts had been blocked from their soul bonds, otherwise I couldn't have known of my little cousin Tonks reuniting with Charlie Prewett, and one of the weddings last summer was theirs...next to my and Remus's wedding, or Severus and Lucius's wedding.

Tonks and Charlie's wedding was at the Burrow which is actually updated and more spread all around than being lopsided upwards as before, and their honeymoon month was spent at Peverell Cove in Ireland which was given as a gift from Harry, much to their shock and amazement. They took the Prewett name as their last names officially.

Why, my and Remus's wedding happened upon Gryffindor Island which was awesome, and the honeymoon month was spent at Black Manor in France which was really nice and romantic. We took the Lupin name as I didn't want to do anything with the Black name. Harry and Cedric decided to give the Black name to one of their future children to keep the legacy going.

As for Severus and Lucius, that was a day for sure...I never imagined the both of them would take upon Severus's mother's maiden name which was Prince. Their wedding sure was pretty great, somewhere in Devon, being a outdoor wedding as well. And their honeymoon month was spent somewhere in Spain, I believe. They never told anybody the specific location...

Through Draco is keeping his Malfoy heritage in honor of his father which Remus saw it coming, yet he was a bit surprised to see that sometimes a late bloomer of a soul bond can happen...Pansy had soul bonded with Draco...That was a hell of a shock for Severus and Lucius, that's for sure as that sort of thing is even rarer than any other known soul bond.

Or that Harry's best friend, Ron, is having a poly soul bond with Astoria Greengrass and Blaise Zabini. That was quite the shock when I heard about that particular glow on the train as a poly soul bond is even more rare than a couple soul bond. Of course, that wasn't just that one on the train as it turns out that Hermione is truly in a soul bond with Luna as well.

Now Harry saw that one coming, much to the twins' annoyance as they had bet on Hermione getting together with Neville for some reason. Cedric sure had a laugh when he heard about the twins' overdramatic reaction.

But the biggest thing was that Harry has passed OWLS a year and a summer early, and now, he's taking a sort of break from spellwork and such as he's focusing on the Triwizard Tournament. Thankfully as the Flushing Potions became mandatory since last year, the other two wizarding schools, Beaubaxtons and Durmstrang has been more peaceful through still competitive, of course.

Agreeing that the past times of the Triwizard Tournament was intense, being too far across the line, this year, it's going to be much tamer. Dueling circuits, Quidditich games, school representation classes, and even something of a race on the lake.

Of course, there will be requests for more activities before the picked classes of Beaubaxtons and Durmstrang come upon the day before Halloween. Neither way, this year's going to be interesting, that's for sure.
