-In front of Professor McGonagall's office-

After talking to Sirius I looked at the Tonks who were behind him, and Ted, seeing my look, nodded at me in greeting.

"Wotcher Ethan!" Dora said, coming up to me and raising her hand for a high five.

"Wotcher Dora" I greeted, smiling at the happy, clumsy girl.

Finishing our high five, Andromeda approached me and hugged me familiarly.

"Hello Ethan" she said with a small smile on her beautiful face.

"Hi Andy" I said hugging her back.

We then broke the hug and I looked at them, letting a playful and slightly arrogant smile appear on my face.

"So... What did you think of my show in the first task?" I asked them.

And hearing my question, the first person to answer was Dora, who started jumping excitedly while her hair changed color.

"You were fucking amazing!" she exclaimed, earning a glare from her mother for her choice of words, "That big ugly lizard didn't stand a chance against you! You showed him and everyone else that fire, claws and scales will never be more powerful than the classic wand!"

And seeing Dora start to wave an imaginary wand with an arrogant and smug expression, I snorted in amusement, and Andy shook her head in exasperation.

"Well, I wouldn't use the same words as Sirius or Nymphadora" Andy said, ignoring Dora's indignant exclamation at the mention of her forbidden name, "But yeah, you were incredible at that task"

She then looked at me with an affectionate look, "You and Harry have made us very proud."

And hearing this I couldn't help but be happy, even though I had already heard my parents, Nick and Penny saying the same thing.

"Thank you" I said with a slight smile.

The group then fell into a comfortable silence, until Ted decided to speak.

"Well, I know everyone here would like to talk longer, but it's getting late" he said, and when we looked up at one of the corridor windows we saw that the sky was getting dark and the moon was starting to come out.

"Sigh... Yes, we have to go home" Sirius said, a little sad as he would like to spend more time with his godson.

And just when he said that, the door to Professor McGonagall's office opened, with the feline witch staring at us with a strange look.

"Are you going to stand outside my office talking or are you going to come in?" she asked, and I realized that she had probably been waiting for us this whole time and had listened to our conversation.

"Professor McGonagall! My favorite ex-teacher!" Sirius said, opening his arms and walking towards Professor McGonagall with a happy look in his eyes.

However, what he received in return was the typical stern and rigid look of the Transfiguration teacher.

"Minnie!" Cele exclaimed excitedly, catching Professor McGonagall's attention, who smiled as she noticed that the one who called her by the nickname I created was my little sister.

"Hello Cele, you've grown up" she said, seeing the little 7 year old girl standing in front of her with a cute smile.

"Is Professor McGonagall smiling?" Dora asked, amazed.

"And Cele just called her Minnie and didn't get detention for it?" Sirius asked, as shocked as Auror Metamorphmagus.

And ignoring the two children in adult bodies with a roll of her eyes, Professor McGonagall began leading us all into her office.

And already inside her office I noticed that her fireplace was already lit and that there was a bowl of floo powder on a shelf above the fireplace.

"Well then I guess this is where we say goodbye" I said, turning to my family, the Tonks and Sirius, with Professor McGonagall, Nick and Penny standing to the side.

"I think so," my mom said, smiling softly at me.

She then hugged me, and I could feel that the feelings of worry and care that she had suppressed all day were emerging again.

"I already told you this, but I'm very proud of you. You are strong and talented, and I know there are few things that can harm you... But know that you are still my little boy and I will continue to worry about you" she whispered to me.

"I know that, and that's why you're such a wonderful mother," I said, which earned me a happy smile from her.

She then broke the hug, but didn't take her eyes off me.

"We may be heading home, but we'll be back to watch and cheer you on in the second and third tasks... And until then, don't get into trouble or cause too much confusion for Professor McGonagall, I'm sure she already has a lot to deal with with her lions" and when my mom said this Professor McGonagall snorted, and I could hear her mumble 'you have no idea'.

And I was going to say that I didn't get in trouble, but with a quick thought I decided to keep quiet, reminding myself that the reason my parents were here was because I decided to participate in a deadly tournament, which probably entered the 'getting into trouble' category.

And I also didn't say anything because I knew what the reaction of the people in the office would be, and I could already imagine the dry looks or the mocking snorts from Sirius and Dora.

But without knowing my thoughts, my mom continued, "Do your homework, brush your teeth before bed, and don't forget to write to us. And I want at least 3 letters a week" my mother said in a tone that she would have no negotiation.

"Yes mom" I nodded with an exasperated but affectionate sigh, and she smiled satisfied.

My mom then took a step back and my dad came and hugged me, and breaking the hug, still with a hand on my shoulder, and I waited for him to also say a few words to me like my mom.

"I make your mother's words mine... And I also wanted to know when are you going to get a girlfriend?" he asked me.

...

...

...

"What?" my dad asked when he saw my blank look, and my mom behind him palmed her forehead.

"Yeah, that totally ruined the mood" Andy snorted, ignoring her cousin's laugh.

With a sigh, my mom pulled my dad by the arm, who continued to look around without understanding.

'I just wanted to know when I would have a daughter-in-law' he thought, and Penny who was standing next to Professor McGonagall looked at my father with sympathy, understanding his feelings.

After saying goodbye to the others, giving my little sister and Andy a hug, I saw everyone approaching the fireplace, with each one taking some of the floo powder.

I then saw Sirius throw the powder into the flames which turned green before entering the fireplace, saying '12 Grimmauld Place'.

Sirius disappeared in an explosion of emerald flames that covered his body, and after the fireplace was free again, the Tonks also used it, returning to their house.

After Tonks disappeared in the green calls, there was only my family left in the office. My parents looked at me with a look full of emotions of affection and affection, and seeing this I smiled softly at them.

My dad then threw the floo powder into the flames and they all entered the fireplace together, with my dad holding Cele in his arms while my mom held his free arm.

And then with a last look my dad said out loud 'Nights' House' which was our house's floo network code before the emerald flames covered their bodies, sending them on a magical trip back to our home.

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

After my family returned home I said goodbye to Nick, Penny, and Professor McGonagall, who told me that she was surprised by my performance on the first task and that she was very happy, proud, and pleased that Hogwarts had me as its champion.

And leaving Professor McGonagall's office I started walking through the corridors, already missing my family.

But trying to put these feelings aside I headed towards the Ravenclaw common room, where my friends were probably waiting for me.

And as I went to the 'Ravens' nest' I put my hand in my coat pocket, feeling inside it the golden egg that I had shrunk with a spell.

'The second task will probably be the same as the canon, and I already have everything prepared to complete it' I thought.

'But that's not important, as I have to prepare for a more difficult and complex event that will happen before the task... The Yule Ball'

End.
