"Right, well Fred you have a mana reading of '2,688'." Harry informed him. Getting the other twin's attention Harry continued. "George, you have a reading of '2,694' while Ron has a reading of '438' and your sister has a reading of '106'."
"Hear that Fred, I'm a wee bit stronger than you." George chuckled at his twin.
"Not by much prat." Fred remarked.
"How are the twins so much stronger than us?" Ron questioned looking at both of his brothers annoyed. The sister looked on shyly but also curious about what her reading meant when compared to others her age. She hadn't even been to Hogwarts yet after all.
"Probably because we aren't lazy prats." Fred snarked while George nodded 'sagely' making Ron's ears go red.
"What're you at now days, Harry? We haven't heard any updates since you showed us the Test Frame back at Hogwarts." George inquired and Harry figured it wouldn't hurt to tell them.
"I've been trying to keep up my practice while still working on my Enchanting. I've made some decent progress I think; last I checked I was at '1,312'." Harry shrugged.
"Ready to go, Harry?" Sirius asked and Harry nodded before bidding the Weasleys goodbye. A short time later and the duo were once more in the comfort of Wood End Cottage.
"I'm thinking this year is going to be annoying with that peacock as a Professor." Harry commented and Sirius chuckled at his Godson's put upon expression.
"If he does anything stupid just let Dumbledore know." Sirius advised. "I'm sure Dumbledore just had a lack of candidates like you thought."
"I would hope so; the man seems like a bit of a joke so far." Harry shook his head exasperated. The duo was interrupted in their conversation by the arrival of a happy Metamorph who practically pranced out of the Floo.
"You're looking at the newest Auror Cadet with advanced placement directly under the Senior Auror, Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody himself!" Tonks cheered happily making Harry and Sirius clap for her.
"Congratulations Dora, I knew you'd make it in!" Sirius praised his second cousin, even though they mostly viewed each other with an uncle/niece type of relationship.
"Good job, Tonks!" Harry smiled widely. Tonks smiled back before moving over and sitting next to him quickly.
"It's thanks to your Talisman, Harry! I even aced the stealth test since I didn't trip even once!" Tonks exclaimed as she wrapped him in a hug which Harry returned. "So to say 'thank you' for your awesome gift you get a reward!"
"What?" Harry asked only for Tonks' smile to turn into a devious grin. Before Harry could do anything the ecstatic Metamorph began raining kisses on his cheeks over and over again. "Tonks! Stop! Sirius is watching!" Said Godfather was happily laughing at his Godson's 'misfortune' while Tonks continued to smother Harry's cheeks with kisses. After a few minutes of embarrassing Harry in front of Sirius, Tonks stopped her kisses and just hugged Harry tightly.
"But Harry, I truly want to say thank you." Tonks smiled brightly at him as they pulled away from each other. "I've gotten to achieve a place in my chosen career right out of Hogwarts thanks to your help. It means more than I can say, so thank you Harry."
"I only made a Talisman to help you Tonks. You did all of the real work." Harry smiled back. "Don't sell all of your studying and practice short, you earned your position."
"Yep, I'm keeping you!" Tonks smiled as she pulled Harry back into a hug. Sirius' roaring laughter only made Harry annoyed, since he was kind of ruining what would be a heartfelt moment. At least he had gotten used to Tonks' affections since they'd know each other. Tonks would leave a short time later to go share the news with Penny, leaving Sirius and Harry to get Harry's school things packed into his trunk.
-September 1st-
Harry waved to Sirius and Remus as the Hogwarts Express pulled away from King's Cross. He and Penny were sharing a compartment along with a small blonde girl called Luna Lovegood. The blonde was a bit spacey, or moon-brained, as Harry had heard others call it in the Magical World. But she was nice enough and Penny had taken a liking to the younger blonde. The trip was uneventful for the most part. Harry's study buddies had stopped by for a bit to chat, the trolley lady had come and gone. As they approached the school Harry had exited the compartment and waited outside for the girls to change into their robes. Once they were done he had changed in the compartment while they waited outside.
"Firs' Years! Firs' Years over here!" Hagrid called as they stepped off the train. Luna smiled at Penny and Harry and thanked them for riding with her. The spacey blonde then skipped off towards the gentle giant.
"She's a fun one." Harry remarked as he followed Penny towards the carriages.
"A bit spacey, but she's smart under it, probably a Ravenclaw." Penny smiled and Harry considered it likely, that or a Hufflepuff with how friendly the little blonde was. A ride up to the school didn't take long and soon the Sorting was underway.
"Told you." Penny smiled as she clapped along with the rest of the Ravenclaw Table when Luna Lovegood was sorted into their House.
"I never said anything against it." Harry replied as he waved Luna over to them and the small blonde skipped over to them and sat next to Penny. From there Harry and Penny both found that Luna was a bit of an 'odd duck' during meal times. She preferred to make her food into shapes or vague sculptures before she ate. Harry found it amusing while Penny sighed and encouraged Luna to eat faster so she got enough 'real' food before dessert. When dessert did come they discovered Luna had a love of pudding, the blonde happily partaking of every variety with
