Right after we got back from the island it was the weekend that the muggle born would start to go to Diagon Alley. One of the guys who started to work for me told me I should make a pamphlet with information in it. The main thing that he said we should put into it is information about the goblins and their loan scam. And if they couldn't get a loan from the muggle bank that they should talk to the people who are handing out pamphlets and something can be worked out. Because of this we had 2 people stationed one inside the alley and one at the apparition point that leads into the alley. This way we would just give the pamphlet to everyone who came that had a first year with them. We would give one to the parents and one to the student. In the pamphlet I stated a few things.
You will end up in the house you want in and if you don't know the process will select what it thinks is best for you. There is no test or way to prepare.
A brief description of what each house is known for and how they behave at school.
Basic information in getting onto the platform from the muggle side.
To get a trunk that can be shrunk and has some locking charms so that you can carry it easier and won't stand out. Also with at least 2 compartments to help separate your school materials from school clothes.
Let your owls out before you leave because they will end up at the school if you tell them to go there.
What the job opportunities are for muggle borns and half bloods
If they join Hufflepuff there is already a set way to study for your muggle GCSE's and you can ask questions about it.
Vaults at Gringotts are more for people with lots of money. Till then you spend more on fee's then you will deposit as a student.
That they should buy unbreakable vials for the potions because they are only 1s more than regular one and don't need to worry about them breaking.
Wand holsters are a good investment so you don't break your wand in your pocket.
You can practice you magic at home till you go to Hogwarts to start getting the hang of it.
Also about the rivalry between the Griff and the Snakes.
To read anything to do with the goblins and also how much of the pay you lose with them if you ever take a loan for school.
That the people who are making these are the Hufflepuffs.
Stuff to ask to be added to the school clothes so there kept clean easier and they stay at a proper size for the year.
An extra book for people who don't know about potions so they can be up to snuff as the pure bloods call "introduction to potions and how to prepare ingredients".
Gilderoy Lockhart is a fake and you should get last year's book, or for new students who don't know anything "introduction to defence."
We had two people who came back for help with money because their parents made little money and they couldn't afford to take out a loan. They were then directed to me in an aged state so the parents took me seriously. I then told them they would have to work for me for 2 years after school to pay for the loan I have provided. I will give them room and board and 20% of their pay for them to use as they see fit. All they had to do was make an oath they would and they would be all set. Surprisingly they didn't even bat an eye at this because they thought it sounded reasonable once they read the pamphlet and asked McGonagall if what it said was true. She reluctantly said yes it was true. I guess the others didn't need the loan or they still took the goblins not believing that it could be true.

The last 4 weeks rolled by quickly after we had dealt with the island. Me and the girls have gone through a lot of the creates and a lot where manuals and schematics for the place. I didn't care for that so I tossed that stuff into trunks and labeled them what they were and I will let someone else go through them. With the ammunition and guns I was a little giddy before I tried to fire one I knew I needed lessons in case I did something stupid. With that in mind I went to Vegas to find out information. The reason I went there is that there are many gun ranges for people who have never tried it to go and try it while losing their money in town. So I went to Vegas and I went into a casino after I had drunk an ageing potion and asked where I should go if I wanted to shoot some guns and learn to shoot properly. The girl at the desk was very nice and asked if there was anything special I wanted to shoot, and I said AR-15's and MP5's. She said that was no issue and most of them had those because they were very popular requests from guests. She then told me where the biggest one was and how to get there.
With that done I went home and got the girls together and asked if they wanted to learn, Hermione didn't but Halley did, Hermione still said she would come when we went. So I told them we could head off right now they just needed the IDs for their aged persona. With that out of the way we went back to Vegas using a box that I had set up at the dorm house.
When we entered the place it was though a steel door. Outside was nothing not even windows but a giant sign that said Bob's Smoking Barrels was displayed over the door. Once inside it looked like a show room for guns of every kind they looked like they had guns from old muskets to assault rifles. As soon as I walked in I knew I could get all the information I needed here.
When I looked around along with the girls also looking we were greeted by Dave.
"Hi I'm Dave and welcome to Smoking Barrels. What can I do for you today? Are you looking to buy something or are you looking to try out some guns for the first time and use the range?"
"Hi Dave me and Halley here want to try out some guns but we have never used them before."
"Well that's no issue. That's what our usual stock in trade is about. What about the woman to your right?"
"She said she wanted to watch but not try it out. I'm hoping that after watching she will be willing to try it out."
"Sounds good to me. Now any particular guns you wanted to try?"
"Well I was looking for 3 guns actually to play around with. They are the SPAS-12, AR-15 and a MP5K if you have it."
"Well we have the first 2 but not the MP5K. But we do have something close to that in the MP5 version that is almost the same."
"Great can we try them out?"
After that we tried out everything and after lessons on gun safety that was mandatory before we started. After a few magazines through the AR and we started on the MP5 Hermione finally broke when she saw the giant smiles on our faces. She asked to try also and when she did she thought it was fun also. I'm happy she did because I want her safe if the magical war ever breaks out like the stories. If I can give her an MP5 I don't see a wizard being able to put a shield up before she could pull the trigger. Just means I am going to have to set up a range with target dummies that look like magicals so it gets instinctive to just aim and shoot whenever she sees one. I don't want them to think, just aim and pull and I will worry about getting them counseling later when there safe.
When we were done I asked Dave if he has books on gun maintenance on those and just on guns themselves, and machining and other stuff done to guns. He told me he doesn't have that on had but if I pay him a visit in a few days he will have them and I can buy them then. I agree to come back for them so I can learn more about the guns in my possession and what I can do to them. Worst comes to worst I will have to take them to a gun smith but I don't want anyone tracing the numbers on the guns back to me. So best to learn maintenance and repair myself.
Later I had set up everything from the server room into one tunnel along with all the lab equipment further down along with the embryos. I don't plan to make anything like Jurassic Park but if I ever did I want the option and I think it would be cute having pigmy triceratops in the yard eating the grass. I would never make the Raptors. Knowing my luck they will kill me in 5 seconds when they are big enough or worse the girls.
The guns on the other hand I set up an armory in its own tunnel along with a door so it couldn't be heard in the rest of the hive. At the end of the tunnel I put up simple steel targets with a soft aluminum backing on the wall so it would eat the bullets that hit it. I will get something better set up later I just wanted a place we can shoot safely. Next I set up some runes on the walls that dampened sound so no one would go deaf.
With the garage and car stuff I left it in the trunks till I can get a bigger place to set it up underground and have a ramp leading to the surface or a building that can house this stuff.
With one of the goggles I tried shrinking and enlarging it over and over again before trying it one more time. I figure this must have some decent electronics in it and if this does not break it then I don't have to worry about shrinking other things. Low and behold it worked. Again I don't think magic actually does anything to the electronics it's just the magicals don't want it so they must set up something that breaks it.
I then got notified from the housing group about the house I had given them to test out on. When I got there I noticed it looked brand new. So when I went in to meet the people, I was shown around the place. After finishing the tour I told them they did a great job and I was happy with it. They had used a lot of mine and the girls ideas and added some small finishing touches that adds to the overall look. I told them they would get the checks when they told me what their new last names where, and they would be from Umbrella Facilities. After telling them that I ended up selling the house in little over a week and gave them their checks. They each got close to £12,000 after the sales and the fee's where done. Not bad for a few weeks' worth of work. The only reason they said it took so long is they wanted to get it right. I let them know as long as it came out that good I don't care how long it took, because the better it is the better we look and more money we get.
By the end of the summer they had finished another and we sold it also. They all decided to do one at a time together till they felt more confident and I had no issue with that. Because with that sale I made £142,000 after everything was said and done. When the first house I was done I had set bought up 4 more houses on short term mortgages for them to work on and have the boxes set up so they could get at it if they finished before I came home on the weekend.

Finally we were sitting in the train car waiting for it to start on its trip to Hogwarts, when the door opened and in came a blond girl who had long straight blond hair.
"Hi there I was told I could not sit with the others I tried to sit with, and was wondering if I could sit here please. My name is Luna Lovegood by the way."
"Sure Luna, you can sit here there's no problem about that. Do people usually do that?"
"Yea." She said in a small voice.
"Why? You seem like decent person."
"It's because my father is not well regarded and has some issues. And they expect the same from me and I'm just tired of trying anymore, they call me loony more often than not."
"Well you don't need to try with us. Where second years in Hufflepuff and I'm sure if you came to our house by thinking Hufflepuff the entire time you get sorted you will end up with a house that will hang out with you and friendly acquaintances or are more likely to be friends with you."
"But I wanted to go to raven claw like my mom did."
"Do you want to be in a house that just studies because of your mom? Or do you want into a house that's loyal to each other and back each other up? Plus we do have a lot of knowledge in our house we just don't spread it around."
"I will think about it."
"It's all I ask and the final decision is up to you. Now have you ever played Risk?"
"No. Why?"
"Well here's your chance to learn."
I then brought out a game of Risk and we showed Luna how to play. While the train was still loading people walked by and when they saw Luna they scoffed. But at the same time they nodded at the game. I think that this time people brought something fun to do with them as they saw us playing last year. That or they are going to try and sit with some puffs since I know most will have a game with them.
17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17
The trip on the train was fine and Luna didn't seem that bad I guess, getting bullied for a number of years and Ginny dumping her caused her to go off the bend. So I'm hoping that she joins us because no one should be turned crazy and not have any friends. God I'm a bleeding heart for lonely girls. But I know she won't get attached to me like the other 2 girls I hope. But if that does happen I am cutting that shit out right in the beginning and introducing her to Hanna and Susan or some other boys. It's bad enough that I think Hermione and Halley are going to be with me for a long time. Unless they change their minds because most people don't stay with their first crush. But this is Hermione and Halley and they aren't in a normal situation, so who knows.
When we sat down for the sorting at Hufflepuff I had no clue who these people where till I heard Luna's name. She looked at me smiled and then when she got to the hat it sat there for 4 min and finally said Hufflepuff. She then gave a shy smile to us while skipping over to us. I made room between me and Hermione for her. She then sat down and we waited for the sorting to finish and Ginny went to Gryffindor. After that we all ate a very Italian dinner. It seems that the elves wanted to give us something different than the normal English food. So I ended up with a big plate of lasagna, the girls on the other hand had a seafood linguine. Luna didn't seem to question the food and just ate with gusto as if she hasn't eaten today. I hope her dad isn't neglecting her and not making her food. If so I might have to send over an elf over the summer to make her food.
After the food was done and the people at the table were drinking tea or hot chocolate everything vanished but the drinks at the table and the speeches started. They were the usually all these things Filch hates, don't go into the forests and yada yada yada. After that we all headed to our common rooms and firsties lead the way. When they got to the door everyone else just went on in and they were given the same treatment as we were with using the door. After they came in we all watched them look around and notice all the books. I had even set up a cupboard with a sign saying "first years books take one and keep it in-house". In there, there was an occlumency book and also a book on how to go about getting your GCSE's after you are done with the occlumency. The prefect even mentioned all this should stay in the house and not shared with the others, and it will only help you later in life. They also talked about the shelves in the common room that held muggle books to help with learning about the muggle world and getting your GCSE. Next they asked if everyone got a pamphlet when going to Diagon Alley. They all said yes but some of the older students wanted to see what was on this pamphlet and where given some. Finally they were shown where all the muggle and wizard games where stored and if they needed anything that wasn't there to ask and it would probably show up. While this was being said he just looked at me and I gave a small nod. After that he explained about the room situation and let them go at it.
Me and the girls still had our old room because once you get it you don't change if you don't have to. The old rooms of last year's 7th years where put back to their original state over the summer while anything we had done to our rooms stayed the same. It was like coming back to your room after a vacation it felt nice because we lived here 10 months out of the year. Luna then skipped up and asked.
"Hey, I was wondering where your rooms where, and if there was one close that was free?"
"There over here Luna and last year there was one free." Said Hermione.
"Great, do you mind if I take it for my room."
"Sure why would we?"
"I don't know, maybe you wanted only your friends there and us firsties together."
"Luna you don't need to worry about us not liking you. Treat us good and we will treat you good. You know all those games and the books in the cupboard."
"Yea what about them?"
"Well we supplied them. We want to help our house since we think they aren't treated right by the school and outside. So if we do that to the house we are not going to treat a person differently."
"Oh."
"Don't worry about it Luna you will get more confident around people here in Hufflepuff. We are very social unlike if you had gone to the claws."
"Ok. But most people start looking like I'm crazy when I talk about finding a crumple horned snorkack or anything else along those lines."
"Have you seen one?"
"Nope"
"How do you know they exist?"
"Oh I just know."
"Well if you want people to believe you, you have to have proof to show people."
"Oh I know but I will find one."
"Well good luck with that. Not saying there is none but it will be hard to prove. Just entering the magical world has shown me animals I didn't think where real so there has to be more. Hell there are dinosaurs running around now so why not crumple horned snorkack."
"Thank you guys."
"No problem Luna."
We then proceeded to show her the free room by our rooms. We then told her goodnight and headed to our rooms to crash.
-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17
In the morning though Luna knocked on my door. I got up wearily and answered the door.
"Good morning Luna."
"Hi Mark, do you know where Hermione and Halley would be, I tried their doors but no one answered."
"Uhh yea, there in here just keep in quiet I don't like to spread it around that they sleep with me."
"Do they always sleep with you?"
"Yea, ever since I was 7 Hermione showed up one night and has slept with me since. She then invited Halley because she was lonely."
"Aww, so can I join?"
Fuck I knew she would ask that. If she's like the books its because she doesn't care and if she thinks it would be nice she would ask that. I am 99% sure this is just people sleeping comfy together and nothing else. Now I'm just waiting for this to blow up in our faces.
"Well you would have to ask the girls."
"Oh goody."
She then skipped into the room and jumped into bed and into my place that I just vacated and just snuggled in. yep she is just lonely and wants company it seems. God the wizarding world needs places for kids to hang out at and make friends with people they don't know. I'm sure the only person she has hung out with was Ginny in her whole life.
I just ignored them and went to go check on the kitties. The reason is because I didn't get them out of the carriers last night is because I don't want the first years getting scared. The rest of the house has seen them grow up. Well as grown as the girls are letting them be in size. They are keeping them the same size as Smoke. When I enter the carrier I see them all snuggled up together and when they hear me enter they all look up and give soft sound. I take it as a "good morning" from them.
"Well come on guys if you want out its now open for you to get out."
After I said that I started to leave and when I looked back the cats had gotten up. I am curious if they are smarter because they live in a highly magic charged environment, or if it's because all the time I scratch their heads I am flooding them with my magic, because I love the purrs I get out of them. When they finally exit the carrier they perked up and looked at the bed and sniff the air and look at me. It's a bit eerie when they did that I have to admit.
"Don't worry guy's she's new to Hufflepuff and wants to be our friend."
The cats then proceeded to go to the bed and sniff her. Please don't scream. After getting her sent they just plopped down at the end of the bed (we had it longer to give the cats room they were there each night).
Since I was up I went to the common room so the girls could sleep. Today was a day off like normal so people could get used to the school before it starts up again. It would be kind of dumb for the first years to know what to do and combine that with moving to classrooms that would be a mess. As people came in the older ones looked at me strangely because I guess they are used to seeing the girls with me most mornings. I then had little chats with everyone and all us morning people decided we would wake up the first years and tell them they were going to be shown to breakfast. I went into my room and woke up everyone and told them we were going to breakfast with all the first years in 15 min. I waited around just long enough to see what Luna will do when she sees the cats, then at the same time I went and changed out of my PJ's. When she did wake up she looked more at me then the cats because I was just in my underwear. She only looked at the cats a bit and dismissed them. I think it's the first time a boy has changed in front of her. I was just snickering in my head because I don't think this is the way it happens at the Weasley house with Molly around. I wouldn't be surprised if Ginny has never seen a guy with his shirt off or a bikini on girls. Oh well I will just not react and it should cause her to have no issues, because I don't care to change my ways. I am fully comfortable with my body and I don't feel like changing for no one. The only people I care about opinions are the girls and that's because they have become my best friends that I have had in either life with knowing them for the past 5 years.
After I finished changing and the girls had gone to their own room I let the cats out of the room. While they were gone I called one of my elves and asked if he could put some cat doors on our rooms and he said it would be done before we got back from breakfast. Now the cats could roam and meet people. When they got into the common room the older kids just looked at them and when they came up the them they proceeded to stroke and cuddle them. They are the biggest softies in the world being raised around young kids. The first years on the other hand where nervous but as soon as they saw the older students petting them they settled down. It doesn't take much too calm people down when they see others not bothered by things. I'm glad that the cats will always have some company while at school. I went to all the first years that were out here and told them about mine and the girls cats and what they were and the collars they had on. The first years where all wide eyed looking at them but at the same time I can see their minds working on how to get their parents to agree to it. Everyone wants something unique but at the same time safe to show off. And with how our cats act I think this opened up a new idea for them. Out of all of them I think only 1 of them had a house cat. The other either didn't bring anything or brought an owl. I still haven't gotten an owl because I could care less about having to use the schools and our parents could share theirs. But we didn't get much mail from them because we came home in their mind one weekend a month to visit. I think they think that's normal for all students now lol.
I also told all the first years (that included Luna as they just came in) that all the books and knowledge that are given out are to stay with the puffs because I told them what the school thinks of us, and we have to look out for each other. Some said why not tell the others and I asked them can you imagine the Griff's putting in the time to learn it or the Claws to not become even more stuck up and introverted. And the Snakes probably already know because of their parents and told know one. But the main reason is because I think it will help people getting there GCSE's. This is because I want us to have options if you don't like the jobs the ministry offers and this gives you more options for hard working people. All the first years agreed to this because I think that we like the fact that they have a secret that the other houses don't know. I think all little kids like the idea of being trusted with secrets but at the same time feeling special because there in an exclusive group of people.
We then leave and when we sit down at the table the older students that came with to help showed the first years on how to start asking for specific food. I got a traditional big English breakfast with lots of eggs and sausages. The first years look around and try it out and say thank you just like the old students. Best to drive home you should say thanks even when you don't know who gave you something. Hell some even asked for cheerios and got them. I think the elves have been talking with others and learning new things. I laugh to myself about breaking the first years because right now it looks more like a real magic school with this stuff happening. In my mind a magic school shouldn't be just moving pictures and paintings along with a nice ceiling and some moving stares. Everything should be magical and wonder. Its almost like they didn't know what to do and just through random shit at it and thats how we got stairs that move but not in a helpful way. How hard would it be for them to move like escalators and not just randomly jump around, and the painting are just of people or nonsense? If they wanted to add to the school the paintings should be teaching us things from there time in rotation for history of magic not just a ghost. Hell almost nothing about this place seems magical but a few things. They didn't even expand the greenhouses outside they kept them normal. The carriers we have use more magic then them; sometimes I worry about the magical world. It's like they try and do less and less all the time and become couch potatoes. Nothing new is being invented for the sake of inventing and if it is and goes too far beyond the higher ups understanding I'm sure it's rejected and the knowledge buried. Oh well that's ok I will just steal those people, and leave the rest of the lazy people to wallow in there perfect world. No need to show them how dumb and lazy they are. It best to just be able to look at them and know you are a better person.
After lunch we did a quick run through of the school with them to show them where there classes where so they had some idea. We took them along a route that didn't have magical nonsense that would block them at random times. It was a bit longer but we got it all done before lunch. Most of the people where very tired with so much walking. I asked everyone if they worked out or ran and no one said yes. I told them they will feel much better and dodging hexes and curses is much easier and less energy consuming then shielding. I didn't want to tell them what to do so I left them and we headed for lunch and let all the tired people with us decide what to do as a group or smaller group. I think I am going to have hard enough time with Luna taking up a space in my bed and then working out with us in the morning. I am going to have to get an oath out of her not to show or tell our secrets if she is going to hang around us in the morning with our Krav Maga and our TK exercise. Who knows maybe she will not agree and we don't have to show her, she can just sleep with us and then head off while we do our own thing. Yea that didn't even sound believable in my head but who knows.
-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17
Well the months have passed and I have not done anything about Ginny-mort. I want her to do the same as the book and Harry killing the thing so I can slip in when he comes out and take it all. Maybe even look around. And see if there is more to it than just a snakes home. But that will start tonight since its Halloween again. A few things have happened so far at school.
Luna agreed to take a vow that won't let her talk or disclose our secrets to anyone other than us unless we all release her from it. Hermione and Halley did the same thing so she felt safe to tell us things also
Occlumency came easy for Luna and the TK is progressing at the speed it took us. But we did teach her the circulation and core building exercise. She even started learning Krav Maga from us
We felt it ok for us to do the drastic core bulging again since it had finally turned into a nice round sphere. I powered it on and on through my system and in the end got another noticeable bulge. I don't think it's wise to do this till you core won't grow anymore through training and has become stable.
All Hufflepuff want to punch Lockhart even the girls. Reason for this is the occlumency helps put together a story that doesn't make sense with his telling's, so I brought up that maybe he lied and just made it up since he didn't show proof of anything. After that is when they wanted to punch him, before it was just confusion. I am so happy none of the girls will get raped by him and him obliviating them. No one wants to be near him, with that knowledge and people feeling they wasted there money on his books I dropped a pile of books off in the common room with books for all years on what was taught in defense 10 years ago. Again this angered the older years but not at me but at the school when they read all the years after a while.
One major thing that has happened is that Hufflepuff has stopped caring about the house points. I think the teachers are starting to notice that no one reacts when gaining or losing points. We even told the first years why we don't care. The cup means nothing we don't get anything for winning and there are no consequences for losing. We also told them about Dumbledore just wrecking the system worse by tossing out arbitrary huge points to anyone associated with Harry Potter. The thing I find funny is that even I don't know what to do to make my house care again. The system is so broken it's not even funny along with Snape and him taking off random points. But the house is not going out of the way to flaunt it or anything, we are just being good little peons and not rocking the boat. It's almost as if Hufflepuff is its own school. We teach classes to each other that aren't taught in school and also expand on material that is no longer covered in the school either. We'll all hang out together or in smaller groups and we don't care about the rest of the school. I think I have broken the house and turned Hufflepuff into elitist that just look down on everyone and feels sorry for them, but at the same time not caring to help them. Wow we have combined slytherin and Ravenclaw into our houses values.
After the Halloween meal is done we all head out and we come upon Filch yelling that Harry killed his cat. Next its people reading the wall and Malfoy being "Slytherin" and claiming where all next. I roll my eyes and whisper to Susan to let her aunt know. Even though nothing happened yet that she would at least be brought up to speed. She agreed and we all just continued to our common room. I then told everyone that Susan was telling her aunt and some people snickered and they filled in the first years. With that no one in the puffs was all that worried.
-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17
This all changed in December when just after it is revealed that Potter is a Parselmouth, Justin has turned to stone along with Nick. Now that something has actually happened the whole school is worried. I am very temped to tell Susan to call her aunt and get her to take Justin to St Mungo's. The reason for this is why should he have to wait till the end of the year to use Hogwarts mandrakes to wake him up? Plus with all my messing around someone actually might die and I don't think I could handle that guilt of a kid dyeing. Adult death eater no issue, death eater wanabe still no issue. Random student that did nothing to deserve dyeing I don't think so.
With that in mind I head to Susan's dorm and knock on the door. When she answers it I see Tonks in there with her.
"Sorry to interrupt you guys."
"It's ok mark we were just talking about what happened to Justin and Nick." Said Susan.
"Yea Mark I was telling her she should talk to her Aunt." Said Tonks
"Well I just came to say the same thing. Because I don't think he should be here and have to wait till the mandrakes are ready. I mean really is Dumbledore stupid and not thinking that St Mungo's can get it for him so Justin does not have to lose a year of schooling. Along with the fact that somehow a ghost got frozen. It's like he doesn't care about us only Harry fucking Potter. It's like we can all die and he won't care unless something was to happen to him."
"Wow Mark tell us how you really feel." Said Tonks.
"Ok Mark I'm going to send an owl to my aunt. I was not really thinking of not to with all this nonsense going on in the school already."
"One thing I think you should do is every time you send your Aunt a letter ask for her to respond back about the topic right after. I wouldn't be surprised if thanks to your Aunt, Dumbledore now looks stupid and checks all mail coming in and out."
"You think he would do that" asks Tonks.
"Why not? He is all but god in Brittan with all the power he has."
"You might be right mark but what if he is and then what happens when he doesn't let it through."
"Well if you don't want him to know about it you could give me the letter and I could get it to her. You would just have to trust me with it and the reply."
She then looked at me along with Tonks for a good minute and said. "Fine I won't ask how you will do this but I trust you."
"Don't worry Susan when have I screwed people over? Well other than pointing things out about our world."
"Yea thanks for that by the way Mark." Said Tonks sarcastically.
"Huh?"
"Don't Huh me. I think everyone knew I wanted to be an Auror. Then you come along and shatter that dream when you tell me about the job opportunities for half-bloods and muggle borns. That just brought me down more after I found out how many people actually get in every year."
"well don't worry I'm sure they will love to have you and you will get in. The only thing I'm worried for you about is if they want you to do "Undercover work" if you know what I mean to get close to the bad guys."
"…. Fuck you mark! I fucking hate you! What the hell am I supposed to do now? There is no way I'm doing that with anyone I don't like. Ok smarty pants what should I do since you seem to have answers to a lot of questions."
"…. Umm well have you done your GCSE's yet? If you have and you have gotten good grades then you could go work for the muggle police officers, if you actually still want to protect people. Hell you could get into private security or be P.I. who said your only option was being an Auror? You could use magic to help them as long as it wasn't visible."
"Fuck you Mark." She then gave me a big smile and a kiss on the cheek and left saying she had to think about things. I think she just realized it's not just all about the Aurors if she wanted to protect people. I then told Susan when she was done her letter to just give it to me or one of the girls and I will get it to her aunt and tell her how to respond if she doesn't want Dumbledore getting ahold of it.
I plan to buy a new owl for the Dorm house and putting a stand in the kitchen for it so people have an owl to use. I will also set up mailboxes on a wall for people to pick up there mail if someone else gets the mail from the owl. That way I can check that every weekend if needs be. That or have an elf come and give it to me when it arrives there. Either way I am getting in more and more with Susan. It's always good to have the law on your side when shit hits the fan later. I hope one owl is good enough for my 7 employees, I will have to make a PO Box that the elves can check for all muggle related stuff too. Fuck I need a PA. Mehhh I will get one once out of school or I can give it to Hermione when she's older or Halley.
