51 First Year Ends.

"...One last thing, 40 points from Gryffindor for acting so recklessly, You went down there despite getting multiple warnings from your teachers and 80 points to Gryffindor for showing exceptional bravery." Dumbledore ignored the deadly gazes Blair was giving him," Now off to your beds pip-pip."

All 4 of the children went out of the office including heavily bandaged Harry and Ron.

"You do know what they did right?" Blair said in a restrained voice. Anger threatening to come out at any moment.

"Of course I know what they did," Dumbledore said calmly, unaffected by Blair angry look.

"Then why the hell did you give them 40 points for it, Even though it not enough for them to win the house cup. It will still encourage them on doing this type of stupid shit in the future."

" You should not call this a stupid act. They thought they were doing the right thing and Do you really think that they don't treasure their life? I am willing to bet that they treasure their life more then we do. And to face danger at such a young age is admirable." Dumbledore said while still looking at the door through which the kids left. " They must have been scared of everything they faced down there, Mister Weasley even sacrificed himself to let his friends move forward. Now tell me, Blair, will you punish these children for what they thought was necessary. According to them, The adults were not listening to them and if Snape got the stone, Voldemort would be resurrected again."

"But what they did was wrong."

"Wrong, no, A Mistake, Absolutely. But in their defence they are children and children make mistakes. you and I both have made mistakes when we were young didn't we?"

'This old man really know how to convince a person.'

"You didn't have to destroy the mirror I placed inside the room. It is quite a valuable artefact. I can fix it so it's not that big of a problem." Dumbledore said.

"Sorry, It just opened some old wounds. It showed me something that I dearly want, But can't have it." Blair said with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"That's what it shows, deepest and most desperate desire of our hearts." Dumbledore gave a sigh.

"That makes sense." Blair got up from his chair and went straight for the exit. "And from next year, I am going to increase my class time from 2 hours to 4 hours per week."

"Of course."

After leaving the headmaster's office he went to Gryffindor common room. He was feeling little down right now. This was the first time he shouted so angrily on Aurora. Most of the time he would just give her a cold stare and that it, She would start crying with that. After reaching in front of the Fat Lady he knocked on the door and waited for someone to open the door. After a few seconds, a third-year Gryffindor opened the door.

"Professor Bradley?"

"Please call Miss Grindlewald in the common room." With that Blair entered the common room. This was the first time he entered the Gryffindor common room. It was quite similar to Slytherin common room, but more red in it and no trace of green. There were only 2 students in the room right now. Blair sat at the very corner of the room.

After a few seconds, Aurora came down the stairs and stood silently in front of Blair with her head titled down looking at the ground.

"Sit," Blair said in a calm voice while gesturing his hand towards the chair in front of him before taking out his wand and casting a silencing charm around them. Aurora quietly sat in front of him still looking down on the ground.

"Look at me"

Aurora slowly rose her head. Her grey eyes were now a little reddish and moisty. Blair gave a sigh, Looking at her state.

"Do you know what you did wrong...."

Aurora just nodded.

"Tell me."

"I.....I..." She again chocked on her tears.

"Trying to save someone is not wrong, But what you did wrong was not listening to me when I said not to go near that trapdoor. Do you even know who Harry faced down there"

Aurora nodded.

"Then tell me, Do you really think that you kids can defeat the most feared dark lord of all time. Even though he was not in his own body."

Aurora shook her head.

"Next time don't do any stupid things like this ok"

He got a nodded in response.

"Now come here, I am also sorry for yelling at you like that...."

Few Days later, Hogsmeade.

Blair was standing with Melania and Aurora on the platform with Harry standing in front of him. Sirius was saying goodbyes to his friend. As for Harry, He was looking a little down right now. Probably because he had to back to live with those bastard. Blair sighed before placing his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"Kid don't worry it's just 2 months after that you can again return to Hogwarts. " Blair took out a coin with Phoenix embedded in it and gave it to Harry "Take this, If you ever fell lonely and want to talk to someone, just place your thumb on the Phoenix and say my name, I will come there as soon as possible ok?."

Harry nodded but this time he looked a little delighted.

"After one and a half month you can also come live with us if you want to."

Harry looked surprised.

"What? do you really think that I would let the son of my friend live with those bastards if it wasn't absolutely necessary? Now go, You might miss the train if you keep on standing here."

The kid nodded enthusiastically before boarding the train.

"Dad can I come with you next time when you visit Harry."

"Of course. SIRIUS, Let's go we are leaving."
