A little help from a friend
When they returned to the Manor The got the rest of the kids together, "It is time to complete your training, go out to the field behind the Manor. Point your wand at the sky, And say Tartarus. When it is time to return, point you wand at the ground and Do the same."
The golden shield enveloped the group, They were gone just ten minutes, when they returned the confident Battle hardened look matched Harry and Hermione...They were ready.
The Christmas rest was fun, they all enjoyed there time together. There minds needed to rest and assimilate all they learned in so short a time.
They played in age appropriate ways, Got to be kids one last time, fore they knew soon the battles would come. Their lives would be forever changed.
Small hints of what had happened reached the families ears. Occasionally they would speak in old English...Welsh. Small bits of magic they shouldn't know. No one commented...
In little Hangleton, a small bundle was carried into a ragged Old Manor, dust on the floor being disturbed for the first time in years...the time was near.
