Sunday, 4th January 1998
The trip back to Hogwarts was rather uneventful if one overlooked the scene Pansy Parkinson made when she saw Draco's promising ring on Harry's hand. Similar to when the Altair partners were announced four months ago, she screamed and made a joke of herself with her little and, most annoyingly, loud tantrum. Blaise commenting, "Calm down, Harry and Draco are not married, yet," did not help the situation at all.
Luckily for Harry and the rest of the students, Draco and Hermione were already on their way back to Blaise and Harry's compartment when Pansy's temper tantrum started. With the authority they had as Head Boy and Girl, Draco cast a Silencing Charm on her that her friends were only allowed to lift once she calmed down or they reached Hogwarts where the teachers could handle her.
The one good thing that came out of it was that now the whole school knew about Harry and Draco's relationship and they would not need to hide their feelings in public. Some of the younger students were surprised, others not so much. The latter noticed how Harry and Draco had stopped to be rivals and strongly believed in the saying that there is a thin line between love and hate. Thus, they assumed that the pair finally crossed the line and that becoming more than just friends was a possible option for them. And with the exception of Pansy, all the seventh year students had already expected them to become a couple sooner or later. To them, being so compatible to have received Room Zero could only end up in marriage. Still, Hermione found it necessary to tell them both to not have make-out session in public.
"Draco is the Head Boy," she argued. "He cannot snog you in the halls only to ten minutes later remove points from another couple for doing the same thing."
"She's right, you know?" Blaise teased. "Besides, it's not like you can't get a room. With a bed," he stressed, winking at the pair. "Though, I would not mind joining you."
"Never!" Harry said, while Draco told his friend. "Forget it!"
"Killjoys," Blaise complained with a pout and then he laughed. Even a blind man could see that nothing and no one would ever come between them again.

It was only when Harry was unpacking his trunk in the evening that he did remember Sirius' portrait. Luckily for him his godfather had spent the whole holidays sleeping, the trunk having prevented any noise from reaching him and disturbing his sleep.
"So have you already performed the ritual today?" Sirius asked, believing that it was the twenty first December. Looking around, he was confused. "Wait, why are we still at Hogwarts? Did you missed the train?"
"No." Harry shook his head. "You slept through the whole holidays. Happy New Year, by the way," Harry said with a smile.
"Really?" Sirius asked, astonished.
Harry nodded. "Today's the fourth January."
"Hmph," Sirius let out, being frustrated over his current situation. Then accepting the thought that as a portrait time would pass differently for him now, he asked, "So did you like the ritual? It's amazing, isn't it?"
"There are better things," Draco answered from the doorway. Walking over he sat down next to Harry on the couch.
"Yes," Harry agreed, and comfortably leaned his head on Draco's shoulder. Draco put his hand around Harry's waist.
"Oh, you finally manned up," Sirius commented. "So, who admitted his feelings first?" he asked, forgetting all about his previous question.
"We both did," Harry answered.
"You're too generous," Draco said, kissing Harry. "Your godson did go all the way out and had my room filled with hundreds of candles, severed some wine and dessert before h confessed. It was very romantic," the blond informed Sirius.
"But Draco was the first to say 'I love you,'" Harry pointed out.
"And I still love you," Draco said, leaning in for another kiss. Harry and Draco were so lost in their feelings that their kiss became deeper and deeper, their hands grabbing hair and clothes alike.
"Get a room!" Sirius yelled, when Harry's pullover landed next to his portrait.
Breaking their kiss, the boys got up from the couch and went to the bedroom. "I love this bed," Harry said, happy that he did not lose any time with undressing Draco, instead he could just lean down and suck at the blond's nipple. "I believe I still own you a blow job or two," Harry stated between switching nipples.
"That you do," Draco answered, pulling with his hands at Harry's hair to shove his month further down. He could stimulate his nipples with his own hands well enough, his cock though, could only be truly satisfied by Harry's personal attention.
"Impatient, aren't we?" Harry asked, chuckling but complying with Draco's wish. Somewhat. Instead of putting all of his attention to the blond's cock, he began with putting one of their pillows under Draco's hips and then leaned down to lick at Draco's balls.
"Tease," Draco complained.
"You could always show me what you want me to do," Harry suggested, purposefully using 'show' instead of 'tell'.
"Channelling your Slytherin side?" Draco asked.
"Maybe," Harry answered, not giving away anything.
"Turn around," Draco commanded. He had the feeling that if he did not go along with Harry's not so subtle hint, Harry would spent the next five minutes in a heated debate with him instead of giving head to him.
With a happy grin, Harry did as ordered and moved so that his legs were caging in the blond's head, while his own head stayed positioned between the blond's spread opened legs.
Keeping his word, Harry waited until Draco made the first move before he copied the blond's movements. First, Draco closed his mouth around Harry's cock and then moved his lips slightly upwards to move the foreskin even farther away from the tip. Harry followed Draco's example swiftly. Still only having the tip of each other's cock inside their months, they used their tongues to circle around the tip, paying special attention to the slit and the prominent vein on the underside of their penises.
With satisfaction, Draco heard and felt Harry moan first. Deciding to be nice, Draco allowed Harry to thrust deeper into his moth as his hips moved downwards. Putting his hands on Harry's hips, Draco controlled how deep Harry could thrust into his mouth. "Hmm," Draco hummed in pleasure and moved his own hips upwards when Harry used just the right amount of teeth on his sensitive tip.
Feeling that he could not keep his weight on his elbows any lomger, Harry put his left hand on Draco's right leg and turned them around so that they were now lying on their sides, Harry's left leg placed around Draco's shoulder and back. The new position gave Harry better access to Draco's balls and hole, which Harry used to stimulate the blond's prostate.
Soon, Draco was too busy with voicing his pleasure with little moans that he completely abandoned Harry's cock. Only when Harry moved his moth away from Draco's cock to whine, "Draco, please," did the blond once again stimulate Harry. However, this time he only used his hands, knowing that using his mouth would be no use.
It did not take Harry long to make Draco come undone through his mouth's and hands' stimulation. "Harry," Draco moaned breathlessly, abandoning Harry's cock for the second time. Only when he came back from his high, did Draco resume his attention to Harry's throbbing cock. This time, he used both his hands and mouth to bring Harry as quickly as possible to completion.
Once Harry caught his breath again, he and Draco moved so that they were both lying with their heads on the pillows, facing each other.
"I thought you wanted to follow my lead," Draco teased.
"I came after you, didn't I?" Harry asked and then leaned in for a deep kiss, both boys enjoying how the after taste of their cums mixed together as their tongues caressed each other. Now that the lust that started their little tryst was sated, they could fully enjoy to feel the love that blossomed between them, until their tiredness from their orgasm and the long train ride overcame them and they fell asleep, still laying atop the covers.

Tuesday, 6th January 1998, Basic Trance-sexual Magic classroom
Today was their first lesson of Basic Trance-sexual Magic in the new year and all of them were excited what the 'real stuff' Professor Greige mentioned before the holidays would be. They were especially curious about the middle aged woman standing to the side, near the front of the classroom, as well as the large orange box on the teacher table.
"Happy New Year, everyone!" Professor Greige greeted them. "As I told you before the break, we will now start with the real stuff. During the next two weeks, experts will give you an orientation talk about their field of specialisation. After all talks are finished, you'll have to decide for ONE field of specialisation," he stressed, looking straight at Hermione.
"When deciding for a specialisation field, keep in mind that those experts will be the one who'll teach you the specialisation you choose. So, if you get the feeling that you will not be able to work with the expert, either choose another field or, if possible, I'll try to find you another teacher. This is only a last resort though. I won't make any promises that I'll be able to find you another teacher. Of course, you can also choose a specialisation field that was not presented during the talks. Again, I'll try to get you a suitable teacher if you cannot find one yourself. If neither you nor I are successful, you'll have to make due with one of the other experts and specialisation fields.
"During the time of your specialisation the lessons will be as follows. The class on Tuesday will be mostly theoretically. During it, I'll teach you the basic of each field. On Thursdays, you'll spent your double lesson with your expert in a private room. This split-up is necessary since, most often then not, some specialisation fields are a hard or soft limits for students. We hope that even if a subject is a limit for you, you will be comfortable enough to learn the basic theory behind them and their non-human application.
"For example, you'll learn to do the three most important knots used for bondage, while the students specialising in bondage will learn how to knot patterns and more complicated knots and will either bound their partner or be the one bound," their professor explained.
"I stress, that it is very important that you honestly and openly talk with your partner about what specialisation field you'll choose. You will practice the field of specialisation on you and your partner. Therefore, it cannot be your or your partner's soft or hard limit," Professor Greige emphasized. "The experts will all visit Hogwarts again next week on Friday from five to seven. This will give you the opportunity to ask them any questions you might have. This way, we hope you'll be able to find a specialisation field that suits you and your partner.
"Now enough of the preamble. Let's welcome Ms Gahanna who will tell you all you need to know about fire play," their professor ended his long speech.
"Good morning," Ms Gahanna greeted them. "Today I will introduce you to playing with fire. Behind me you can see a box. This is for the second part of my talk, where you can try out some easy fire play acts," she said and took out a candle from the box.
"But first, let's start with the theory," she said, putting the candle back into the box. "Specialising in fire play means learning about everything that includes heat. Dripping way on your partner, setting their skin on fire and also branding. However, the latter will only be discussed in theory and practised on animal skin if you choose fire play.
"Learning how to play with fire will include to know which candles can and which cannot be used. You'll study what candle composition will lead to what wax temperature and how you can change the temperature with changing the distance. Also we'll discuss what body parts should be avoided when setting the skin on fire or when dripping wax on them.
"And as exciting as performing fire play in your free time is," she said with a knowing smile, "you're here to use it for Sexual Magic. Fire play is used in Ritual Magic, but what isn't included in one ritual or another?" she asked rhetorically, giving her audience the feeling that she had performed many Sexual Magic rituals. "Also fire play is used for some Sexual Potions, Warding and rarely for Sexual Divinations.
"Okay, that's all you need to know about fire play for a start. So who wants to set their hand on fire?" she asked, as she got a bottle, a pipette and lighter from her box. Seeing that no one stepped forward, she dropped some of the fluid from the bottle with the pipette onto her own back of hand and set it on fire. After five seconds the fire went out, her hand unhurt. "No one?" she asked.
It was Dean Thomas who got up first and held out his hand to be drizzled with the fluid and then lightened up. When his classmates saw his happy and fascinated face, most of them lined up to experience it themselves. Hermione and Blaise tried out the flames right after Dean.
Draco and Harry, on the other hand, were one of the last persons to join the line. The fire reminded Draco too much of the branding of the Dark Mark. "I would have liked the wax better," the blond told Harry, who agreed with him.
"But it certainly looks fascinating," Harry said.
~-~-~-~-~-~-Altair-a life changing event-~-~-~-~-~-~-
"So what do you think?" Harry asked Draco, when they relaxed in their living room after lunch.
"I certainly do not want to specialise in fire play, even if it is used in both Ritual Magic and Sexual Potions," Draco answered, his head laying in Harry's lap. "Both the idea of branding and the fire on the skin makes me uncomfortable."
"Hmm," Harry hummed in agreement, his hand running through the blond's hair. "I would like to try out wax play, though," Harry admitted. "As for the fire, I think that in some years I will be more relaxed about it. Voldemort is still to fresh on my mind right now. But branding? Never."
"I totally agree with you," Draco said. "Though I say that we wait with the wax play until we know what candles we can use."
"Yeah, I rather not get burned." After the fire, Professor Greige and Ms Gahanna had lightened two candles and let it trip on their hands, making them experience that even while dropped from the same distance, both waxes had different temperatures.
"I wonder what fields will be presented on Thursday..."
"Maybe we'll learn about the use of Quidditch utensils?" Harry joked, remembering the time when he used Snitches on Draco.
~-~-~-~-~-~-Altair-a life changing event-~-~-~-~-~-~-
"Happy New Year," Professor Immaculé greeted the boys when they entered the Ritual Magic classroom. "I hope that your winter ritual was successful?" she asked.
"Yes," they answered in unison, beaming with happiness and proudly displaying their rings.
"I'll need to borrow them from you," she stated. Both boys hesitated, but they knew that they needed to hand over the rings for their ritual to be graded. "You'll get it back next week," she told them.
"You better," Draco told her. Both boys were feeling uncomfortable with the rings off of their hands, even if they had only worn each other's promising ring for two weeks.
"Merci," she thanked them. "Before the holidays we discussed the influence of the moon on Ritual Magic. Today, we'll discuss the influence of the sun. What can you tell me about it?" she asked.
"Ehm, some Ritual Magic depend on the time of day, like sunrise, sundown, midday or sometime in between," Harry answered.
"These sun dependent rituals can be boosted when a sundown ritual is performed during the winter solstice. However performing a midday ritual during the day of the winter solstice will still work," Draco added.
"That's correct," she confirmed. "Why do you think that rituals are less sensitive to the sun cycle than to the moon phase?"
"Because the moon is in the same phase worldwide, whereas the phase of the sun depends on the place," Draco guessed based on the explanation on the moon phase they heard before the holidays. "While the winter solstice it is the shortest day in Britain, it is the longest day in Australia," Draco stated as an example
"Basically yes," Professor Immaculé said and then went into an in deep explanation of the sun and the sun's role in Ritual Magic. At the end of the lesson their assigned homework was to write ten inches on what they just learned and to do a very simple ritual that would make a turquoise glow when it touches a poisonous liquid, the Siméon Assay Ritual. The ritual should be performed at dawn, however, their task was to perform it at dawn, dusk and noon.

Tuesday, 6th January 1998, Basic Trance-sexual Magic classroom
"Good afternoon, class. Today we have three guests that will tell you about the BDSM specialisation fields. Mr Cathen will inform you about the fine art of bondage, Mr and Mrs Cobwebster about the use of Sado/Maso and I'll tell you about how a dominant and submissive relationship can influence Sexual Magic."
"If you'll start Charles?" he asked and Mr Cathen began his talk about bondage.
"I believe that most of you have a basic idea what bondage means. While the ignorant see it as nothing more than to tie someone up and make them helpless, a true master of Shibari, the Japanese art of magical bondage, knows that it is much more than that," he began his talk.
"Angus, if you would be so kind as to hand out the booklets? Thank you," he asked and Professor Greige picked up the small pile of booklets from the desk, distributing it among his students. "If you turn to page two and three, you can see an example of a common bondage as it is used in Ritual Magic."
Opening their booklet, Draco and Harry saw that page two showed a man, bound and kneeling on the ground, still partially dressed. Probably to be on the safe side, less someone gets offended by male body parts, they both though. Page three showed the same man from another angle.
"Here you can see that while the hands and feet are rather simply bound, it, is the finely structured net on the chest and back that is the key factor of the ritual because the most important aspect of bondage in Sexual Magic is the artistic net. Thus, if you specialise in bondage, you must not only know where exactly a knot or overlap needs to be placed, but also the right sequence of the knotting.
"Further, the type of bondage material can influence the effect of the bondage. Tape and rope can have different effects, and also there are differences between a silk rope and a cotton rope. However, this area is too complex to be studied as part of your Basic Trance-sexual Magic class. You'll only learn what you need to consider when using tape or different rope types for bondage. How they can affect Sexual Magic is something you can study after Hogwarts.
"Another important aspect is the safety of the one bound. You'll learn how constricting the bondage can be without dangerously hurting your partner and what you need to additionally consider when the bound person is hanged from the celling. The latter won't be taught during your general abbreviated theoretical lessons," Mr Cathen stated.
"In Sexual Magic bondage is mainly used in Ritual Magic, Enchanting and sometimes in Warding. There are some people who say that the right type of bondage will also help to open your Inner Eye and others who firmly believe that Sexual Potions could be enhanced with bondage.
"Feel free to look through the rest of the booklet. All of the showed bondages will be taught during my specialisation course. Any questions?" he asked as he finished his talk. Many of the students were too busy to leave through the booklet to ask question. However, Draco and Hermione raised their hands. "Mr Malfoy," Mr Cathan said, easily recolonising Draco by his unique Malfoy blond hair.
"Why do you believe that bondage cannot enhance Sexual Potions?"
"You already brewed Sexual Potions?" Mr Cathan asked, Draco nodded. "Then you must have noticed that Sexual Potions nearly always requires both brewers to be in contact with the potion. If one of them is bound, then this creates a safety issue. What if something goes wrong during the brewing process? The bound one will not be able to escape on his own and their partner will not have the time to cut the bonds when the cauldron is suddenly blowing up. I would not risk my partner's safety so carelessly," he explained.
"Can you not use a protective shield?" Draco asked, not completely satisfied with the answer. Though, he could understand Mr Cathan's reasoning. He wouldn't risk Harry's safety either.
"More than one Potions master tried out different shields, but up to now, they have not discovered a shield that efficiently protects the bound one without negatively influencing the potion," he explained. Draco nodded in thanks. "You also had a question Miss?" he asked Hermione.
"Yes," she answered. "Can you please give me an example of how the type of material used influences the effect of the bondage in Sexual Magic?" she asked.
"A good example would be the Heart Scanning Ward. Here, the type of bondage material used defines who is kept out of the warded area. If a silk tie is used, then only people who intend to kill the people inside the ward are kept out. If tape is used instead, then people who intend to hurt you, even if is just slapping you for your own idiocy are kept out. And hand cuffs will result in keeping people out that have negative feelings towards you or just wish you pain, even if they do not intend to hurt you themselves. Other specifications that lie between the silk tie and the tape are created by using different kinds of ropes," he explained.
"Thank you," Hermione answered, busy writing notes. It looked like she would spend this evening researching the Heartbreak Scanning Ward in greater detail.
Following the name BDSM, Professor Greige was the next person to give his talk about his specialisation field Dominat/Submissive, followed by the Cobwester couple, who each explained their side of Sado/Maso.
~-~-~-~-~-~-Altair-a life changing event-~-~-~-~-~-~-
"I begin to fear that we will not find a specialisation field that agrees with us," Draco voiced his concern once they were alone.
"Me too," Harry agreed, unceremoniously falling down into his armchair.
"I think we can both agree that S/M is just not us. The D/S requires too much maintenance. I can see us playing D/S for one weekend. But longer than that? Certainly not. We're far too independent for either of us to submit to the other for a long time period," Draco said.
"Yeah," Harry agreed. "If Greige hadn't said that one needs to at least have been in a twenty-four seven D/S-relationship for three months for it to be effective in Sexual Magic, I may would have considered it."
"At least it explains why even during our lessons Professor Colleen stays in the role of Professor Greige's submissive. I do not believe that anyone will choose D/S as a specialisation. Can you imagine to be submissive during lessons, studying hours and in your free time? For the rest of the school year no less," Draco added.
"Certainly not us. Hermione and Blaise neither," Harry commented. "What about bondage? I certainly remember you trapping my hands with my pullover when I returned from the Weasleys," Harry said, also thinking about the time where Draco had used five ties to bind, blindfold and gag him.
"I admit that I was turned on by the pictures and that I enjoy to freely roam my hands over your body, but I fear that it is like the fire play. It's too early after everything that happens."
"Yeah," Harry agreed. "The little restrain we used so far is okay, since most of the time either of us can still go and get the restrains off. But those restrains shown in the book are far more complicated and not something the bound one could escape from on his own. Maybe without a blindfold it could be manageable for us, but all the pictures at the end of the book showed the bound one wearing a blindfold."
"If we want to, we can always approach a Shibari master when we feel ready for it. It's not like I'll need it for my Potions mastery."
"Sounds like a plan," Harry said with a smile. "Have your parents already send you the extra turquoise?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Yes, they arrived this morning. So we can start performing the ritual whenever we want," the blond answered.
"How about Sunday?" Harry asked. "As much as I want to sleep in, I rather not perform the ritual thrice when I have Quidditch on the same day."
"Okay," Draco agreed. "I wanted to join the Slytherin's practice anyway. Though I hope for your sake that you do not get any cuts."

Sunday, 11th January 1998
Just as Professor Immaculé had told them, the Siméon Assay Ritual was easy to perform, however it was very sensitive to the position of the sun and thus, of the timing. Dawn today was at eight forty-two and dusk would be at four eighteen in the afternoon. So, both Harry and Draco were still jawing tiredly when they got up at seven thirty to prepare for the Siméon Assay Ritual.
The beginning was very easy. Still half-asleep, Harry went into the kitchen to prepare what felt to him like a whole bathtub of tea. In reality, it were just two teapots and an extra three buckets full of tea. With the help of heating charms, the water was easily boiled.
Once he finished brewing the mixture of green tea and stinging nettle tea, he moved two of the buckets into their Ritual Magic room and mixed one pound of coarse sea salt into the last bucket. Once Draco joined him, they both sat down into a chair and put their naked feet into the bucket, a well placed cooling charm having changed the initial temperature of the tea to lukewarm. They needed to soak them for thirty minutes, while drinking three cups of tea from their respective teapot.
After both finished their first cup, Harry informed Draco, "You'll brew the tea for the next ritual."
"This bad?" Draco asked.
"We really need a lot. And I'm not a fan of carrying two twenty pounds buckets through our apartment."
"I'll make the tea for noon and we'll brew it together in the afternoon," Draco offered.
Ten minutes into soaking their feet it was time for their next cup of tea, followed by the last cup ten minutes later. By the time they were finally allowed to remove their feet from the bucket, they both were in dire need for a piss.
Drying their feet on a towel, the quickly walked to the bathroom to relieve themselves and then went into the Ritual Magic room. They both took off their bathrobes and then Draco stood to the side of the room and waited for Harry to empty one of the buckets with tea over his head.
"Come on, Harry, we need to finish the ritual at sunrise," he hurried the brunet along.
"You look like a drenched cat," Harry commented once the task was completed and the blond was wet from the bucket of tea Harry'd emptied over him.
Walking over to the middle of the room where Draco had placed a large round tray with a two inch brim that was covered with coarse sea salt, Harry step onto the tray. Taking two pieces of white robe, Draco bound Harry's wrists and ankles together. Harry knelt down on the tray and held out his cupped hands in front of him, his bound wrists resting on an armrest they placed on the tray for convenience.
On the right palm Draco placed one of the stones his parents sent him and on Harry's left palm he laid one of the stones they received from Professor Immaculé. While the stones looked identical, they could not be sure if their professor had not placed any spells on the stones she provided.
Taking the icing bag which he had filled with sea salt, Draco drew the first half of the rune circle around the tray Harry was kneeling on. Once he was finished, he started with the next part. This part was the reason why he hoped that Harry did not receive any cuts during yesterday's Quidditch practice. Taking the bowl of sea salt, Draco began to rub the salt onto Harry's skin, starting with his feet and moving upwards. More and more salt landed on the tray as Draco rubbed Harry's inner legs, his ass and then his back with the salt as a symbol of cleansing.
I rather wash Harry with soap, Draco thought, not liking the rough texture of the salt and how it prevented him from feeling Harry's skin
Circling around Harry, Draco started again from the bottom with Harry's thighs. Harry's lower legs were symbolically been taken care of by the salt that they previously put on the tray. Moving upwards, Draco rubbed Harry's cock and balls with the coarse sea salt from where he trailed to the brunet's stomach, chest and over his shoulders he moved to Harry's arms and then his cupped hands. Draco took great care to rub also the two turquoise stones with the sea salt.
Being finished with the salt, Draco picked up the icing bag and completed the rune circle before he exchanged the icing bag with the remaining bucket filled with tea. "Reperio*!" Draco called out the Latin spell as he emptied the last bucket of tea over Harry, careful to also drench the turquoise stones.
"It should be done," Draco said, placing the turquoise from Harry's left hand into a white box and the other stone into a green box to keep the stones apart. Then he walked back to Harry and unbound him, helping Harry to stand up, both boys dried themselves with a towel to not drip all over the floor. Together they walked to the bathroom in need for a shower.
"And another two times are waiting," Harry said tiredly, resting his head on Draco's shoulder after the blond finished lathering Harry's back.
"Yeah, it feels like a big waste of tea and salt," Draco commented.
"At least we had the foresight to use the armrest," Harry told Draco as he washed the blond's back. "My arms are already tired as it is."
Both boys relaxed under the warm spray of water and then towelled off.
"I have the feeling that I'm forgetting something," Draco said as they got dressed. "It feels like Professor Immaculé is testing us with this and I just forgot the correct answer."
"The only thing fishy about doing the ritual thrice I can think about is that while it will be dusk here, it will be dawn in the US. Maybe it has something to do with that?" Harry guessed.
"You mean like finding a way to make the Siméon Assay Ritual believe that we're in America while we're performing it?" Draco asked.
"Maybe," Harry answered. "Did your ancestor Thothus write something about it?" he wondered.
"That could be it," Draco said. While he'd read through the whole journal, he could not remember every little detail that was mentioned. "I'll have to skim through it to see if he noted something about it."

AN: Lots of lectures. But what better way exists to celebrate being back to Hogwarts but to show you extracts of their classes? ;)
Next: The other options are presented and the boys will discuss what specialisation field they should choose. If they can find one that Voldemort has not ruined for them for the next 2-3 years.
Update: After my latest totally off guess of an update time, I better to not state any date. Whenever I finish writing the chapter, I'll update it.
