Y/N POV

"Just one question." I asked after hearing the name. "Who the hell is Fenwick Hawthorne?"

"He's a high-ranking Ministry official." Mum said. "Until now, no-one has suspected him to be a Death Eater. And how is it you and Lucius knew he was an undercover Death Eater?"

"While we were on the run, there were Death Eater informants coming to us." Narcissa explained. "We never got to get to them since Aurors caught wind of them, until one day, he came to us."

"He wanted to recruit us and reform the Death Eaters under the same cause, but more deadly than what Voldemort had us. We would have torture and kill Muggles. Ones who accidently find their way into the Wizarding World. No mercy would be shown. Even blood traitors, Muggleborns, etc."

Anne looked absolutely terrified at Narcissa's words and I reached for her hand, hoping that it would calm her down.

"Well, guess he hasn't met us yet--" Lana said, but Narcissa cut her off.

"He hasn't met you, but he knows your names." She said. "He knows what you've done, but he's never seen it. Those children did defeat his Death Eaters, but they don't know him. He knows the Blackwoods, but they don't know he was the one who kidnapped Mr. Blackwood. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Connections everywhere."

"I am going to let Shacklebolt know to keep an eye on Hawthorne." Mum said. "We don't know what he's capable of. Narcissa..." She said as she sternly looked at her. "If no one else knows of Fenwick's true colors, you must be hidden. I'll ask the Aurors at Hogwarts, Selena Raywood and Luke Maestro to escort you to a hiding place. As long as we do not know where you are hidden, you will be safe."

Narcissa nodded but noticed that Draco wasn't in the room anymore. "My son... where's my son?"

"I'll speak to him." Mum said in the same tone. "He's already had too much when your husband and Voldemort forced him to be a Death Eater. In fact, why did you all choose to give Draco the Dark Mark, but you didn't take it yourself?"

Narcissa fell silent as we all went out of the living room. Hermione and I were talking to Anne, who looked terrified after that revelation.

"I mean, kill and torture those who respect Muggles?" She said in a terrified tone. "That's just really scary and he has killers on his side too, and I'm scared what would happen..."

"Anne -- Anne!" I said holding her shoulders. "It's going to be okay, we're going to protect you as best as we can."

"No! That's not what I'm talking about!" She yelled as she shook her head. "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you both!"

"Anne, honey, we'll be fine." Hermione said in a comforting motherly tone. "I promise you."

"But you both just became my parents not too long ago!" She said with tears threatening to fall. "I never knew my biological parents and I know they died, but I don't want that to happen to you either!" Now the tears started flowing and she rushed into my chest and cried into it. Hermione looked at me with a look of sadness in her eyes. I brought her in the hug as Anne shifted herself into Hermione.

I got on my knees and faced Anne as she looked at the same eye level as me. "I know you're worried about us and I see why, pup." I said as I placed my hands on her cheeks and rubbed them with my thumbs. "I understand you're upset that this is happening again. We did just become your parents, and I for one, want to still be your father and I know Hermione wants to be your mother. We've handled worse, and we will still be with you. And you will always be our daughter. Our daughter that we're always so, so, so proud of and who we both love with all our hearts."

After Anne heard that, she buried her head into my shoulder and cried into it while Hermione rubbed her back. I then put a kiss on her head and rested my head on hers. "If it makes you feel any better, when we start up Dumbledore's Army again, we'll cover more defensive spells. I'm very sure my lightning bolt curse can deflect most Curses."

Hermione then kissed Anne's forehead as well as her cheeks as she smiled a little. "I suppose that does help." She said.

"Besides, I heard your mum told you about Alya as well." I smiled. "We do want to see your sister and you getting along."

"Sorry if I interrupted anything." Narcissa said from behind me. Anne's expression slowly changed from the slight happy feeling from thinking about Alya to nearly hatred when she saw her. "I do want to express my sympathies for what my family has caused you."

"Really." I said coldly. "Now. Of all times. Follow me." I led Narcissa to another room, where as we entered, I shut the door and locked it. "You are aware of what your husband did at Hogwarts in 1992, yes?"

"Yes --"

"No. Cause I feel you don't. Your husband gave one of the most deadliest objects in the world to a vulnerable 11-year-old girl, and it was a Horcrux. And due to that specific course of action, multiple Muggle-borns, including Hermione, were petrified. And that damn fucking Horcrux possessed Ginny and made her commit acts in the Heir of Slytherin's name! You know what else happened?!"

Narcissa just watched as my anger became more apparent. To be honest, I was too pissed off. Just thinking about it made me angry.

"THE DAMN BASILISK NEARLY ENDANGERED THE SCHOOL! DO YOU KNOW HOW I FELT AFTER I FOUND HERMIONE ON THE GROUND PETRIFIED!? BROKEN! SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON OTHER THAN MY FAMILY THAT I CARED ABOUT WITH MY WHOLE HEART! HOW WOULD YOU HAVE FELT IF DRACO WAS PETRIFIED!"

"And more importantly... would Lucius had even cared?"

Narcissa looked just as furious as me. "Don't you dare --"

"Well, I fucking dare!" I yelled and my eye glowed. "That's not the least of it! Not just your husband, your side of the family, apart from your sister, Andromeda, are incestous idiots consumed with the bullshit ideal of pure-blood supremacy! Because of them, her own daughter is dead! Because of Bellatrix, my fiancée has a scar that says, 'Mudblood' and my daughter and cousin were kidnapped! BECAUSE OF THEM, YOUR OWN SON WAS FORCED TO BECOME A DEATH EATER WITH A TASK THAT BROKE HIM TO DO!"

Narcissa continued to glare at me as my eye glowed brighter. Anger filled my veins and things around me began to shake and rattle around. Then it began to subside as my eye's glow diminished it. "As long as you are here..." I said. "Stay the fuck away from my daughter."

"She means more to me... than you will ever know."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moments later, the Aurors Mum mentioned, Selena and Luke, arrived to take Narcissa to a safe house where Fenwick wouldn't find her.

(A/N: Rahart Adams as Luke Maestro / Lukeybboi )

"Why can we not arrest her?" Luke asked. "She worked with the Death Eaters."

"That's because she only affiliated herself with them." Selena said as she showed Narcissa's forearm, with no clear marks of a snake and skull tattoo. "She never became one." She then looked at Mum who nodded. "Minister Shacklebolt informed us of the situation. The other Aurors are keeping an eye on Hawthorne without him knowing. Hopefully we'd get the rub on him. Only certain people know of this, in hopes not to provoke him unless something dire happens."

"Thank you, Selena." Mum said. "The other Aurors are on high alert back at Hogwarts. I am certain with your leadership, he doesn't even think of stepping foot in the castle."

Soon, the Aurors apparated away and back in a few minutes. After that interesting bombshell, I decided some research into the bastard was in order. Harry offered to let me, Lana and Mum come with him to the Ministry to find any files on Fenwick while Hermione, Luna, Neville and Draco were staying back with Anne. It was a quick trip anyway, in and out with Kingsley's permission.

As we acquired the files, we brought them back to Mum's study. We spread them out as we eyed the multiple files.

FENWICK HAWTHORNE

LEVEL 2 AUTHORITY: DEPARTMENT OF MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

(Authority involves access to wizard & witches files, monitoring of individual wizards/witches, Knowledge of Improper Use of Magic and Stand on Wizengamot.)

"Explains how he knows of you three." Mum said as she examined what his power in the Ministry allows for. "He's been monitoring you. The Death Eaters you've killed, what stand Harry took over Voldemort..."

HISTORY:

SLYTHERIN IN TERM AT HOGWARTS

WORKED UNDER CORNELIUS FUDGE

SERVED IN TRIAL AGAINST SIRIUS BLACK (RULING: NO TRIAL -- BLACK SENT TO AZKABAN FOR MUGGLE DEATHS)

INDIVIDUAL IN HIGHER POSITION ABOVE DOLORES UMBRIDGE (DECEASED.)

SERVED IN TRIAL OF FENRIR GREYBACK (RULING: GREYBACK WALKS FREE. GREYBACK NOW DECEASED -- KILLED BY Y/N LOVEGOOD.)

"This guy's a bigger arsehole than Fudge!" Lana exclaimed. "He was part of the committee that sent Uncle Sirius to Azkaban without a trial?"

"Makes me want to strangle him." I muttered.

"By all means, feel free when he reveals his colors." Mum said. "Umbridge reported to him -- possibly when he got word of what happened to Harry, he reported it to Voldemort as well."

"Real bastard he is." Harry muttered. "Seems he was also in the Muggle-Born Commission. Before Umbridge died, she reported to him. And under him, dozens of Muggle-borns were kept."

"Wait a moment..." I said. "When I met Ashley, Nick, and Axel, I found files on Umbridge's desk. She must not have had time to look over them since she was observing Mrs. Cattermole, so those files were never given to Hawthorne. Fenwick never got them cause I stole them."

"Whose files were they?" Mum asked.

"Mr. Weasley, Hermione and Anne before Hermione and I adopted her." I said as I found the files I stole so long ago. "I also took everyone else's I could find; Mine, Lana's, yours, Harry's, Ron's, all of the Weasley's, everyone I could think of in the moment, and burned her office down."

Lana looked at me awestruck, but equal with amazement. "You... You burnt down the bitch's office?"

"Yep." I said proudly without a smirk on my face, while Harry didn't hold one back. "Serves her right for giving me these." I held up my hands with each scar Umbridge gave me. The "Monster" scar and the "Descendant" Scar. Mum gritted her teeth as she looked at each.

"Fucking bitch..." She cursed under her breath, but audible to us. "I despise her with every bone in my body."

"Bet she's right in Hell, burning up." Harry said. "But these files should be here. If Fenwick knows who we are, he shouldn't get any more information on us."

"Excellent suggestion, Harry." Mum said. "It is a good thing this Manor has places where things can be hidden."

Anne POV

After that little breakdown I had with Fenwick and Mum and Dad's safety, I took it upon myself to learn more defensive spells. Dad caught me practicing in the Manor (Good thing I could practice since most of the people in the Manor are of age to use magic), but instead of telling me not to, he understood and brought me to one of the rooms in the Manor, which was a training room for magic.

This Manor has so, so, so many rooms.

"After looking at the Room of Requirement when we first started up the D.A...." Y/N said as he brought me in. "I decided to retro-fit this room into something similar." It did look something similar to it, there were a few target-practice dummies, a couple of books of defensive spells (not Wilbert Slinkhard's Theories on Magical Defense)

I burned that book after Umbridge was cast out.

Not only that, there was a stand with Dad's Auror uniform that Harry had given him. Lana's was right next to his. "So, we'll practice spells that you would use on Death Eaters." he said. "Ones to hurt, not ones to kill." He pointed his wand to one of the dummies and pulled it forward.

"So, show the dummy what you would do if faced with a Death Eater." He said. "I know you can do it, pup." Y/N then kissed my head and rubbed my shoulder as he stood back and watched. The target magically sprung to life and pointed it's wand at me, ready to cast.

"Obscuro!" I shouted as a blindfold slipped around the target's eyes. It walked around blindly crashing into the walls making Dad laugh hard and me to giggle a lot. Eventually it got it off and looked at me, but I knew my next spell.

"Alarte Ascendare!" I shouted, making the target launch up in the air and back down. My next spell was going to be "Fulgari" but the target decided to develop a mind of its own and used, "Stupefy" on me. How did I know?

Because it launched me in the air.

"ANNE!" Y/N yelled as he stopped the dummy and ran to me and checked if I was hurt. "Are you hurt?" He asked frantically and checked my head. "You don't seem to have a concussion, that's good --"

"Dad?"

"Can you stand? Are your legs hurt?"

"Dad..."

"Arms! Arms, hands... okay, no broken arms or hands..."

"Daddddd..."

"Ankles hurt? Ribs broken?"

"Dad!"

"What?" He asked.

"I'm fine..." I said. "Just a little hurt, but I'm okay. I didn't expect it to do that."

"I'm so sorry, Anne." He said as he held me closer. "You were doing so good! I, for one, am very impressed. I'm proud to be your dad."

"It's not your fault, Dad." I said warmly. "I had to be prepared for it. Besides Mum told me something one of your old friends used to say for this kind of stuff."

"And what would that be?" he asked with a smirk.

"CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" I grinned. "From that mad hatter, Mad-Eye Moody!"

"Haha! Good old Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody..." He chuckled. "I said that stuff too when I impersonated him in the Ministry. It was kinda fun, honestly. Yelling like him, babbling his nonsense like..." He stopped for a moment to clear his voice.

"WHO WAS THE RUDDY TOSSER WHO TOOK MY BLOODY EYE!?" Y/N said in a perfect impression of him, which made me giggle a lot. "Don't you dare use that tone in front of meh, or I'll turn you into a bloody bug under the heel of my boot! CONSTANT -- VIGILANCE! DUMBARSE!"

"You really said all that?" I asked him.

"To intimidate Corban Yaxley, yes." He smirked. "He was so spooked when I spoke! Became a coward the minute I finished."

"Ouch... hey, Dad?" I asked as I felt my arm.

"Yeah, pup?"

"I think my arm is fractured. It kinda hurts."

"Oh dear. Your mum is going to be really mad at me." He said as he produced his wand from his pocket. "Hopefully this will fix it... Brackium Emendo..." He muttered as I felt some relief in my arm. Soon enough, it felt better.

"How's that feel?" He asked me as I rotated my arm.

"Feels better!" I exclaimed. "Thanks, dad."

"Anytime, pup." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "But I do have to tell your mother the truth. Although, this is kinda funny in a way. Did your mum ever tell you the story of how we became friends with Ron and Harry?"

"The one with the ugly-ass troll?"

"Language..."

"Sorry..." I chucked. "But you called Yaxley a dumbass when you were telling me about Moody!"

"Touché." He said. "But when that troll came around, I was protecting your mum and at one point, Lana and her were trying to get out of it's sight, but the troll saw and was about to attack them before I got in the way and his club broke my arm."

I was surprised. Mum didn't mention Dad getting hurt. "But after we defeated the troll, your mum helped me to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey fixed me up, and I was bleeding a little, but your mum helped clean it up. We became best friends from that day."

"And I will be just as worried about my daughter as much as I'll be for my soon-to-be-husband!" Mum's voice came out of nowhere as Dad's eyes widened.

"Oh dear..." He chuckled a little. "Hermione, where are you?"

"Right here." Her voice said from the corner.

"Did you use Harry's Invisibility Cloak?" He asked her. Uncle Harry has an Invisibility Cloak? He never told me that...

"Why would I use it if your overcoat does the same?" Her voice teased. Suddenly, Y/N clutched his arm and held it. "Love, did you forget you punch really, really hard?"

"Oh, I actually did forget!" Mum said. With a slight whisper, Mum became visible and hugged Dad from behind. "Sorry about that, babe." She kissed his cheek and walked over to me.

"How much did you see?" I asked.

"Well, everything." She said. "I'm just glad you're okay! I know you and your dad were preparing for anything, but please be safer! Hell, I'd help here too!" She looked back at Dad. "We have to teach her duelling, yes?"

"Oh yeah, and better than Lockhart." He said.

"Hey, Mum?" I asked Hermione. "What happened after the troll incident?"

"Well, it was another instance I fell for your father, but after I took him to Madam Pomfrey, she gave him a cast which I was the first to sign. I put my name on it with a heart next to it. Oh, I kissed his cheek for the first time and we got closer and closer..."

"And closer and closer to the point where he proposes to you?" I chuckled as she smiled.

"Exactly." Hermione said. "We've been there for each other, through thick and thin. And now, after all that has happened, I'm marrying the love of my life, I have a daughter I cherish so much, and I have another family."

She looked at both of us, smiled and pecked both of our cheeks. "Come on, let's go." She said as she stood up and helped us up. "I can wrap your arm up for you, Anne, and Y/N... next time, I'm here next to you."

"Whatever you say, 'Mione." He smiled and kissed her. She smiled through the kiss and put her hands on his neck as I just waited for them.

"Gosh, I cannot wait for the wedding." I said.

"Willing to spill it?" Both of them asked before they both laughed.

"Nope." I grinned. "It's a surprise!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon enough, it was time to head back to Hogwarts. We knew the drill, get to King's Cross, go through the border, get to Platform 9 ¾, and board the Hogwarts Express. Exhausting, isn't it?

As we boarded, Y/N helped me and Hermione with our things while Evie hooted in her cage and Crookshanks, Snowball and Patch were playing with a cat toy. Draco offered to sit on the floor so Neville could sit next to Luna, who was sitting next to Lana. I sat right in between Mum and Dad while Snuffles was resting in my hands while one was bandaged by Mum, just to be safe. He chirped in my hands while Hermione brushed his head.

"He really likes you now." Hermione said to me. "He did the same when Y/N and I took him in.

"He's so cute and fluffy." I smiled at him. "I love him!" Soon enough, Snuffles was purring in my hands and resting himself while I leaned on Dad's shoulder. Mum brushed my hair off my face and rubbed my shoulder before I fell asleep there.

Hermione POV

While we were waiting to arrive at Hogwarts, Anne was resting on Y/N's chest. Lana was patrolling. Neville and Draco were playing a game while Luna watched them and I was watching the two of them resting.

"You're a good father to her, you know?" I said to him. "She loves you a lot."

"I can say the same about you being her mother." He smiled. "She's a lot like you; brilliant, kind, incredible, determined and so much more."

Just as he said that, Anne nuzzled into him, rested her head under his, and wrapped her arms around him. "Not to mention adorable as hell." He whispered while brushing her hair and kissed her head. "I just hope I can do the same for Alya when she's born."

"You will be, Love." I scooted closer to both of them and brushed his cheek. "You're a great father to Anne, and you will be a great father to Alya." I continued with a kiss on his cheek. "I just know it, honey."

"Thanks, Love." He said with a smile as my hand slid into his and I rubbed my thumb over his. Soon enough we had arrived and Y/N took some time to wake Anne up.

"Hey, pup." He whispered. "We're here."

"Hm?" Anne stirred and woke up. "Oh, hey Dad. Hey, Mum."

"You sleep well?" He asked her gently.

"Yeah, I did." She said as she got up. "Time to get to Hogwarts, I assume?"

"Yep. Bet Jason's waiting to see you as we get in."

"Oh, we should go then!" She exclaimed. "I have to thank him for that Christmas gift he gave me, that was sweet of him."

We arrived at the Great Hall, where Anne hugged Jason on sight of seeing him, while we just smiled. We don't know if he does fancy her, but it was good they were best friends.

"It was a fun Christmas here though!" Jason said. "Uncle Sam and Kieran thought me some stuff from their time here at Hogwarts, and Aunt Mia showed me how to use and make Bewitched Snowballs! It was amazing to prank Sam and Kieran. Mia said always loved pranking Sam as much as she loved making those jokes with him."

"What jokes would that be?" I asked Y/N.

"I think I know..." He said. "But I think they're the ones that involve certain actions in bed."

"Ohhhhh..." I said before whispering to him. "Can't wait till we do that..."

"Me either, babe." He flirted, kissed my cheek, hugged me around my waist and whispered in my ear, "And just as good as the first time, maybe better..."

Hearing that made me bite my lip a little.

Anne and Jason were talking on the way back to the Common Room while he was helping her by holding Evie's cage and Y/N was holding some of my things back to our private dorm. We entered it as Anne took her things to her dorm and thanked Jason. Our dorm was like how we left it. We let out Crookshanks and Snowball into their cat beds and began to unpack our things.

It was a weekend and we had some time to be adjusted back at Hogwarts, so I changed into my pajamas, while Y/N changed into some joggers and a black short-sleeved shirt, and it showed off the tattoo of my name on his right forearm. His "Monster" scar was still there, but he paid no heed to it anymore. But he still looked hot...

After a while, we decided to unpack later and snuggle together in the bed. I laid down on his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. "It's nice to be back here, isn't it?" I asked.

"I'd say so." Y/N responded. "But... we do have our exams coming up. And being you, I'd expect you have plans to study together, don't you?"

"I always do." I smirked and kissed him. "I have a timetable, all set up, and -- oh, we can also tutor Anne if she needs help with her classes, and --"

I was interrupted as Y/N kissed my lips. As he did, I deepened it and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Hermione, darling, we just got back." He said softly. "Let's enjoy some time together... besides, Ron and Harry aren't walking in on us snogging."

"But --, yeah, you're right." I gave in. "I do want to have some time with my very, very handsome fiancé."

"Well, I'm all yours, Miss Granger."

"Mrs. Lovegood-Granger to you, mister." I smirked. "And damn right you're all mine."

"I know, I just love hearing you say that, baby." He teased me. "I'm always yours, baby girl."

I grinned as I moved forward to him to straddle him and gently pressed my lips on his while he pulled me closer to him to kiss back. It felt amazing, just us together. Wonder how it will be on our wedding night. It was full of passion and a hint of desire. His hands inched from from my back down to my waist I grinned again and he kissed my neck, making me moan a little.

I pulled his face closer to mine and snogged him on the lips while trailing to his jawline and his neck. "God, that feels good." He said softly.

"How I feel when you do it to me." I teased. "I love you."

"I love you more, 'Mione."

And we continued to snog as the night went on.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, I woke up in our bed with my arms wrapped around Y/N's body. His arm was hung around me and one of his hands entangled with mine. But the strange thing was, Y/N felt warmer. Warmer than usual.

And that's when I realized we took our shirts off last night.

Y/N was bare-chested while I was in my upper-garments. I nearly forgot we were snogging late last night. Just then, he woke up and looked down as he saw he was shirtless. "Oh, that's new." He muttered. "Morning, Love."

"Morning, babe." I smiled and kissed him.

"You look lovely." He said.

"Really?" I smirked. "My shirt's off and I have bed hair."

"Well, you have nice bed hair." He teased and kissed my neck. "And you're so, so beautiful." He kissed me again on the lips and pressed his forehead on mine. "I love you."

"I love you, too." I said as I squinted and hugged him. "You look even more handsome with your shirt off."

"Well, maybe I'll take it off more when we're married." Y/N teased again while his hands laid on my sides. We just laid there for a while before we both got up and I put on one of his hoodies. They were big on me, but they were just as comfortable as Y/N himself.

It felt off with the pajama bottoms I had, but I loved it. Y/N massaged my shoulders lovingly and kissed my cheek, whispering, "I love you so much, my beautiful genius." I just smiled and leaned in to kiss him again.

"I love you more, my brilliant wizard." I said after we kissed again.

"I'm gonna change, see Lana and Mum and talk with the Aurors." Y/N said with a smile. "I'll be back soon, Love. Oh, and can you tell Anne I said good morning?"

"Course, I will." I replied and placed my hands on his cheeks. "Be safe for me, Love."

"I will, honey." Y/N smiled again and kissed my forehead. "See you soon."

After he left, I sat at our desk, taking in the scent of his hoodie, which smelled like what I smelled in the Amortentia potion.

Vanilla cologne, new parchment/ink and the smell of Butterbeer. I always felt happy when I took in the smell every time.

A knock came on my door as I called out, "Come in!", and Anne walked in, dressed in some casual clothes and my pink jumper. "Hey, morning, Mum." She said with a hug.

"Morning, Anne." I said to her. "You used to being back here?"

"Eh, little bit." She answered with a smile as she looked around. "Where's Dad?"

"Oh, yes! Your dad went to talk with your Aunt Lana and your grandma about the situation." I said. "Just for all of us to be safe. They'll tell Jason's family about Hawthrone as well. And Y/N says good morning to you."

I looked at her jumper and smiled. "You really like wearing that, do you?"

She grinned. "Course, I do! You gave it to me and you said there were good memories of you and Dad! Besides, it's my favorite jumper."

"I appreciate it, honey." I hugged her again. "Love you."

"Love you too, Mum." She smiled and leaned on me. "Also, what can you do around this dorm for fun?"

"I'm not sure honestly." I said as I placed my hand on my chin. "But... I think we have that game of Scrabble 'round here. You up to play?"

"Oh yeah, for sure!" She exclaimed as I grabbed the game and set it up for the both of us on the floor.

Lana POV

Y/N and I walked down to Mum's office, ready to discuss what else has to happen. Mum had told us that someone from the Ministry would be there to assist the Aurors, and the Misfits had gathered (all six of them) to let them know of Fenwick.

As we entered her office through the Gryffin Door (The new password was "Bowtruckle"), we found the office packed with the two Aurors we knew, Selena Raywood and Luke Maestro, standing next to an older man who had reminded me of Mad-Eye.

He had a little bit of facial hair with brown hair. His face gave the impression that he was hardened from conflict and experience as an Auror. He wore leather fingerless gloves and a black overcoat, along with dark pants and Muggle combat boots.

The Misfits were there as well, most of them being concerned, while Mia was being comforted by Ashley. Mia honestly looked furious.

"Oh, Y/N! Lana!" Mum greeted us as everyone in the room, including the mysterious man. "So good to see you this morning. We have to talk about the situation and how Hogwarts will act as of now. But first, I need to introduce you to a former colleague of mine." She said as she looked at the man, who turned and held out his hand for us to shake.

"Vito Nightshade." The brown-eyed man said to us in a American accent. "Pleasure to meet you."

(A/N: Pedro Pascal as Vito Nightshade.)

"Vito here is originally from America." Mum said. "But he is the one who took Daylin Talon and Declan Zephyr to Azkaban all those years ago after the Misfits here defeated them."

"Those two were tough bastards." Vito said. "Especially Talon. He's out of his fucking mind. Shacklebolt let me know of Hawthorne, so I'll be around here with the other Aurors to keep an eye out."

"But I still can't believe someone in the Ministry was behind all of it." Nick said with a look of disgust on his face.

"Well, the system was completely buggered up with Fudge as the Minister." Y/N said.

"I mean with Umbitch, the Dementors," I said. "Putting Sirius in Azkaban without a trail and letting Fenrir Greyback walk free."

"Honestly, how'd the bastard actually got the position is beyond me." Sam muttered. "He's done absolutely nothing and people believe the utter amount of bullshit that comes out his mouth."

"If Hawthrone puts one finger on my nephew's head..." Axel said coldly, which was very unusual of him. "I won't hesitate to stab him in the throat."

Mia had started to swear as well, while Ashley tried to keep her in a level head.

"My parents knew him..." She said. "And he was the one to arrange my father's kidnapping?! Son of a fucking bitch!"

"Okay, please watch your language -" Ashley whispered to her.

"And the same goes for my daughter." Y/N said.

"Wait, hang on..." Vito squinted and looked at Mum. "Um-bitch?"

"It's a nickname for the toad." She answered. "Dolores."

"Oh... her." He scoffed. "The demon's honestly such a pain in the ass. No-one liked her. And how she got away with all that shit..."

"Don't get me started with Rita Skeeter!" Kieran exclaimed. "Nasty bug, she is."

"Always asking stupid questions... the bitch." Luke said before nearly letting out a amount of swears before Selena shut his mouth with her hand.

"Regardless..." Mum said. "With Fenwick possibly gathering more Ex-Death Eaters and reforming, we must be one step ahead of him. We can't have another war on our hands, we just got finished with one. And I am not letting any students or my family get killed in the process. I would like to live to see my children getting married, especially with my son's coming soon."

"She's really good with them pep talks." Luke muttered to us.

"We know, right?" Y/N and I said in unison.
