45 Letters V2

Blair and the kids were sitting in the ice cream parlour. He was looking at the girls who were still arguing about who won and who cheated. He sighed, wondering how he should stop them from arguing. He was Hundred per cent sure that both of them were going to Gryffindors.

Blair then looked at Sirius who was quietly eating his ice cream.

'Ravenclaw or Slytherin'

He never had to worry about Sirius. He was far more mature for his age. He acted like a big brother in front of his sisters, He would help Lucas handle the girls when Blair is not home.

"Dad look, it's you" Melania pointed towards a silvery haired woman who was reading Daily Prophet. On the front page of the Daily Prophet, there was a picture of him standing in front of Wizengamot members.

WIZENGAMOT MEMBER BLAIR BRADLEY PROPOSED TO BUILD A MINISTRY FUNDED ORPHANAGE FOR MAGICAL CHILDREN.

Blair had proposed this to bring orphans like him to the wizarding world before the age of 11 and teach various aspects of the wizarding world before sending them to Hogwarts. This would help the orphans to mix in the wizarding population more. 80 presents of the members approved of it and the orphanage was already under construction.

Blair nodded to Melania before getting up from his seat.

"Let's go".

Sirius got up first followed by the 2 sisters. They didn't notice the women, who was holding the Daily Prophet was looking at them with curiosity.

After reaching home he went straight to the library. He took out a leather-covered book with the title 'DUELLING IMPROVEMENT' from his shelf and sat on the chair.

He has been trying to improve his duelling style for years. His duelling style in the First wizarding war was domineering, it was more focused on killing rather than surviving in the battlefield. The problem with his style was that even though it was lethal and one hit kill, it lacked speed. That why to improve it Blair compiled a list of all the spells from various books which included his and grindlewald's personal library and started experimentation during his duelling practice.

'Today, Let's try this one.'

15 August 1991.

Blair was sitting in the library. During this past years, no noteworthy events happened in their life's other than Blair getting invited to the opening of Wizarding world's first orphanage which was funded by the Ministry. Blair also proposed the werewolves reservation law but got declined due to the opposition having one more vote than those who were in favour of this law.

The door of the library suddenly burst opened revealing Aurora running towards him with excitement written all over his face.

"Dad I finally got my letter, I finally got my letter" Aurora hugged him while he was still sitting on his chair.

"Good" Blair gave a relieved sigh. He was worried about her not getting into Hogwarts, Because of her being a special case. The Black twins had already got their letters and Aurora has been a little bit quiet because she didn't get her letter. She was older than them, She was supposed to get the letter earlier. She didn't even fight Melania form the day they got their letters. Blair pleased his hand on her head

"Let's go"

"Where"

"Dragon Alley, Of course."

"SIRIUS, MELANIA LETS GO, DAD IS TAKING US TO DIAGON ALLEY." Aurora ran outside shouting in excitement.

Blair also wanted to introduce the Wizarding World to Harry, But Hagrid requested him to let him do it. Blair agreed As the giant was also a great friend of James and Lily.

Flourish and Blotts, Diagon Alley.

Blair and the girls were standing behind Sirius who placed a huge pile of books on the counter. Blair still remembered the first time when he came to this book store, he wanted to buy so many books, But couldn't, Because of limited funds. Back then he was just a little orphan who had nothing compared to what he has today. Now he was an Elder member in Wizangamots as well as duel teacher in Hogwarts. This 2 two jobs paid him 1000 Gallons per month. Not as much as he used to get paid during the wartime. But it was far better than an average man's salary in the Wizarding World.

"Dad I want to buy the new Nimbus 2000, My old broom is broken," Melania said.

"If she gets a new one, I also want one or I will lose every game with my 5 years old model."

"Ok, But you are not allowed to take your brooms to Hogwarts in your first year." Blair agreed. Others might say it's bad parenting, But Blair didn't want to let the kid feel like he felt when he was young. He used to just stare at things from afar as he couldn't afford to buy them. Until 17 he only brought things that were necessary for living. He didn't want the kids to feel that way.

After paying the bill and placing all the books into a small bag with extension charm they exited the bookstore. As they were heading towards the Ollivander to get the wands, Blair came across many familiar students that he taught in Hogwarts. Some even greeted him.

The shop looked exactly the same when he entered in it years ago. Just this time the Ollivander was standing where he is supposed to be, Instead of hiding somewhere in the corner to scar small kids.

"Ahh Blair Bradley, 12 inches, Ashwood, Phoenix core. If I remember it correctly."

Blair just gave him a nod.

"I also want a Pheonix wand just like my Dad."

"Miss Grindlewald, the wand chooses the owner not the other way around, So, which one of you wants to go first."

Half an hour later they exited a half-demolished shop, All done by Aurora. Black twins got their wands in their 3rd try. But Aurora had to try wands for half an hour before getting one which was best suited for her.

After returning home all the three kids went to their room. Blair thought they went to read books but instead heard 2 explosions from their rooms.

"Lucas"

"Yes Master"

"confiscate all of their wands"

"Master Sirius's wand as well?"

"Yes, his as well."

1 September, Kingscross Station.

"Sirius, you go first"

Sirius just nodded before running through the wall followed by Aurora and Melania. As Blair was about to go through the wall.

"Blair"

He turned around just to see Frank and Alice Longbottom walking towards him with a boy walking in front of them.

"I thought teachers are supposed to travel through apparation to reach Hogwarts"

"I just came here to drop off the kids. This is their first year."

"That's great, My son is also going to Hogwarts for the first time. Neville meet your duel teacher Blair Bradley"

"Hello professor, I am really looking forward to your classes." The boy said with admiration in his eyes.

Blair just nodded, After a few more exchanges, Blair went through the wall.

"About time you came," Sirius said with 3 trunks placed by his side.

"Came across an old acquaintance, Where are the other two."

"They went inside the train, trying to find a compartment for us."

Blair looked at the three trunks and made a hand gesture. The trunks slowly began to rise from the ground.

"Let's go"

Sirius just nodded looking at the floating trunks.

"Father when will I be able to do perform wandless magic like you"

"Wandless magic quite an advance field of magic. First, learn how to cast all the spells that are taught in Hogwarts effortlessly. After that, I will teach you Occlemency to keep your mind focused. When you master Occlumency fully then I will teach you wandless magic." Blair placed his hands on Sirius's shoulder. "Do you remember what I said before leaving our house?"

"Yes, I should avoid performing any dangerous high-level spells before I go to my 4th year," Sirius replied in a casual manner.

"Take it seriously ok, There is a reason I can't create a normal fire. I performed a very dangerous spell when I was in my 2nd year. I am stuck with these cursed flames my entire life."

Sirius nodded seriously this time.

"Ok hurry up someone else will occupy your sit, But I doubt you sisters will let anyone enter the compartment," Blair said.

"See you at Hogwarts Professor." Sirius laughed before boarding the train.

"See you at Hogwarts Mister Black"

Blair turned around and was about to apparate when.

"It's Blair, BLAIR." Blair heard a familiar voice from behind. He recognised this voice quite well. He turned towards the voice just to see Gideon waving towards him. The whole Prewett Family and Weasley family was with him.

"Hello mate, How are you doing," Gideon said.

"Just came to drop the kid for their first trip to Hogwarts."

"Ohh that's good, my nephew Ron is also going to attend Hogwarts, anyway, this is Arthur Weasley, my brother in law" Gideon gestures towards a man standing beside him.

Arthur and Blair greeted each other while shaking hands.

"I hope my sons aren't causing any problems"

"Bill, Charlie were model students, Same goes for Percy. But the twins are the whole new story. The twins and Prewett brothers together, cause so much mischief that they would rival the Marauders"

"Marauders?" Alexia (Fabin's wife) asked in confusion.

" James and his roommates, self-proclaimed Hogwarts' greatest pranksters," Fabin said.

"I am really worried about their future." Molly who was listening to the conversation gave a defeated sighed.

"Ohh don't be mistaken, Despite them being troublemakers, All four of them are talented. They are capable of scoring good in all of their N.E.W.Ts."

After a few more exchanges.

"Anyway, sorry but I have to go to the Ministry for a Wizengamots meeting before going to Hogwarts."

He bid his farewell before appearing to Ministry.
