Once Tom returned to Hogwarts, he was questioned for the second time this year by his Professors.

Apparently, missing classes and using the 'I'm sick' excuse can only work so many times in a school of magic. Especially when Tom hasn't been to the nurse a single time on either occasion.

After getting lectured by his Professors for a bit, Tom returned to his normal school routine, except for one change.

That note the Ancient One left behind said Tom was in charge while she is away.

Tom has full control of Kamar-Taj and everyone who's a part of it.

Seeing as he's in charge, Tom has been returning to Kamar-Taj every day after his school responsibilities are taken care of.

Since Tom and his mother are both preparing for a possible invasion from Dormammu and his forces, Tom decided to prepare the people of Kamar-Taj as well.

First, he called a meeting of every Master of the Mystic Arts that is still affiliated with Kamar-Taj on the coming weekend.

Soon, Kamar-Taj started filling with sorcerers arriving early to see what the meeting was about. It's not every day that a grand meeting of every member is called. Even the students in training were called to join as well.

Getting through the school week, Tom returned to Kamar-Taj with Druella on Saturday. She's already been informed of the possible Dormammu situation.

Although she was worried about the possible danger, Druella was elated to hear about the Ancient One accepting immortality from Tom.

She knows that Tom was worried his mother would choose to decline and could now see the weight leave his shoulders with her acceptance.

As soon as Tom arrived, It was almost time for the meeting. They were given ample time to arrive for people that could easily portal anywhere with a wave of a hand.

Making his way to one of the largest courtyards, Tom and Druella waited patiently as masters and students alike started pouring in.

Once everyone seemed to have arrived, Tom spoke up, quieting the crowd and drawing their attention.

"Hello, some of you may have noticed the absence of my mother, the Ancient one as of late. She has taken some time off to prepare for an attack against our planet." Tom says, causing the crowd to stir and murmur amongst one another.

Before Tom could continue, one of the more senior masters spoke up.

"Do we know which entity or organization is planning the attack?" He asked, many nodding to his question.

"We think the attack will come from the dark dimension," Tom revealed, shaking many to their core.

Only one being ruled the dark dimension and he was no joke. All of the masters and many of the students wore fearful expressions.

"Dormammu..." The same man that asked the question muttered, but his voice was like thunder striking the stunned crowd.

"Yes, Dormammu and his mindless ones as well. Although this is scary news, I must say that the Ancient One already has a plan. Truthfully, she didn't tell me to inform you, but I was left in charge while she's away and decided you should know. Not only should you know, but you should prepare. I've already started my own preparations as well." Tom says and summons his wings and Arthur in his sword form.

The power radiating off Tom and his sword caused a few of the weaker students to faint, while everyone else, including the masters, started sweating with fear written clear on their faces.

"This is a sword that has the power to easily kill gods and other god-like entities. I believe my mother can handle Dormammu with a bit of preparation, but if anything were to go wrong, I have my trusty blade with which to chop his head off. I'm telling you this so you don't think this is an un-winnable situation." Tom informs them and retracts his wings and sword, causing everyone around to sigh in relief.

"Although none of you will be facing Dormammu, you may face a few mindless ones depending on how things go. Take this time to get yourselves in order and prepare for the coming battle. Kamar-Taj is being placed on a wartime alert. All members will be lodging here until this situation is resolved. Hopefully, nothing happens and we can laugh about this later, but it's best to be prepared for all situations. That concludes this meeting. If you don't already have your own room here, find one and make yourselves at home. All masters are to report for a separate meeting later tonight in the same location." Tom says and leaves with Druella close behind him.

Tom wasn't sure if he made the right decision by telling them. On one hand, they will be prepared if the need arises. On the other hand, Tom just panicked a lot of people over something that may not happen in the first place.

'Do you think I made the right decision, Arthur?' Tom asks as Arthur has more experience than him.

'When you start getting more experienced as a ruler, you'll see that there are very few right and wrong decisions. This one has its own pros and cons, but I feel you picked the better of the two. With a prepared force, ready to fight and defend at any moment, you'll be better equipped to deal with this Dormammu character's advance.' Arthur gives Tom his experiences opinion.

Hearing Arthur's thoughts, Tom feels better about his decision to inform them.

Also, there's an alternative motive to Tom's actions. When Tom announced that all of them would be lodging in Kamar-Taj, that wasn't just to keep everyone together and prepared.

Tom knows that in order for Dormammu to come to earth, he has to get someone from earth to open his passage. There's no better candidate to do that than a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj, which is why Tom is bringing them all together under one roof.

With all of them here where he and other masters can see them, Tom knows that it would be a lot harder for Dormammu to corrupt them. Not to mention for them to work on opening a passage for him. Anyone that is tainted by the dark dimension will be noticed sooner or later, and if anyone leaves, they would be the number one suspects.
