Wade and Kelly had nearly strangled their kids when end of term came around, sad that they were leaving but knowing they would be back. Sirius and Amelia were no better, though the latter was aware she could visit whenever she wished, and they also visited Sirius every few weekends anyway.

Remus and Severus apparated the demigods to the gates of Hogwarts and watched as they raced inside, shaking their heads at the energy of youth. Alex and Hermione were intent on checking in on their tutor group, see if they had stuck to patterns and were in the classroom. They weren't disappointed, because when they opened their classroom's door, it was to a full room, and Oliver Wood standing up the front, waving his wand over a cactus, "…And be sure that when you finish the spell that you flick your wand DOWN, if you do it up then it won't be your nose on the plant."

"What will it be?" A Ravenclaw asked.

"From what I saw, a tongue," Oliver said in all seriousness, before spotting the teens, "Ahh, our esteemed tutors have arrived at last."

All eyes shot around to see the pair, who laughed lightly, "Don't stop now, you were doing great Ollie."

The Keeper and Captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team chuckled, "Well with you two having a break, some of us older kids decided to give this tutoring job a crack. How in the hell do you do it?"

"You need patience mate," Alex joked, hanging his coat up in the office and coming down with Hermione, "Now, who's been keeping up with their reading?"

Every hand went up but one hand remained up, and Hermione smiled, "Yes Greg?"

Goyle spoke softly, as was his way, but confidently, "This isn't about classes but my aunt was at Gringotts on the 1st and well, did you two really become goblin friends?"

Many mouths went wide at hearing that, and the demigods nodded, lifting up their shirt sleeves, "An honour. And yes, the weapons that she saw are really ours and no we won't show them to you lot until every single person here answers a question on their readings."

Eager and correct answers flowed from every student in the room, some going more in-depth than necessary but pleasing their tutors none-the-less, so after 2 hours, Alex and Hermione drew their weapons, "These are sais, sort of like little tridents, that I can also throw if needed. Harry has a labrys, or a double-edged axe, not so good for throwing."

"Where'd you get them?"

"We've been training with goblins, these are presents," Alex was very vague, not wanting to lie to them all but not willing to tell the truth, "Right, everyone will be coming back soon. Go and do what Hogwarts is good at, tell everyone about this."

There was a scurry for the door as everyone went to do just that, leaving the teens to sigh, "Alex, did we just do the right thing?"

"Mia, if Greg's aunt was there and saw it, how many other relatives of other students would be there and tell them about it. When happened that day is nothing to be scared of, and the consequences won't bring forth our heritage, simply that we've got blades," wrapping his love into his arms, the wizard kissed her neck, "Honestly, we should be more afraid of what Minerva will do after she sees the tattoos."

Groaning, the brunette summoned their coats and they walked out of the room. Heading to the Great Hall, it nearing dinner already, they weren't surprised to see the tables filling already. Murmurs were going through and eyes were looking at them in many mixing emotions. Ignoring them all, the teens walked to Luna, hugging her tight and promising an interview over the development.

They were about to go to Gryffindor when a chair screeched suddenly from the staff table, and all eyes went there. Standing there was Filius, a gleaming short sword in his hands. He moved swiftly to the level floor, between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, directly in line with the teens, and went as the goblins from Gringotts. Smiling to themselves, the demigods easily drew their blades, to the collective gasps of ¾ of the room, and went to the same position. With no Ragnok to stop them, it was the elder of the trio who hit his sword butt down, and the teens walked to meet him.

"Brother," they greeted Filius as goblins.

"Brother, Sister," he replied formally before smiling at them, "Should have been Ravenclaws."

That brought laughter from a lot of people, "Perhaps, but doesn't change things."

"No, it doesn't," the diminutive man looked at all the intrigued faces and said loudly, "You have just witnessed a great event, the greeting of new goblins to the family. A proud day for myself to know Brother Harry and Sister Hermione, the first humans in many years."

"And it is a proud day to have Brother Filius greet us into the family," Hermione said, before the trio walked back to the staff table.

Minerva was smiling and stood at the podium, "A brilliant way to return from holidays but let you all be warned, there are 3 people in this castle allowed weapons, and you have just seen them. Anyone caught bringing in or creating their own will face severe punishment. With that said, let's eat."

At their side, Severus shook his head, "You know, I may never allow you both to go anywhere alone again if this is what happens."

"Don't worry Severus," Filius said from his place, "I normally would not have greeted Harry and Hermione as I did had they been anyone else, and they possibly won't be greeted on the street by random goblins. Should they go into another bank though, well, that would be different."

"That reassuring," the man groaned into his dinner.

"Oh lighten up Severus," Alex nudged the man lightly, "Things are only starting to get interesting."

That did nothing to help the Potions professor, in fact, it sent a shiver running up his spine.
