Family Time COMPLETED

Chapter 2

Thanks to DarkLadyIreth and thanks to her chapter 1 has been beta'ed along with Dream OfStories!

"I hope everything is to your liking, everyone should be waking up soon as it's almost breakfast time," Albus Dumbledore said with a smile as he stepped through the entrance, "But first I have some important news to tell you."

The Cullen's moved to make room for the Headmaster to sit down on one of the large blood red sofas.

"I just love what you've done to our apartment Albus," Esme said gratefully as she thought about how to do this sort of thing for the houses she designed.

"Think nothing of it my dear though I thought I'd just pop up and give you a little warning about what's going to happen tomorrow," Albus said as he quickly looked at the Grandfather clock, "Make that later today."

Carlisle gave a polite laugh, "Albus what might you warn us about? You've sent us books on what we need to know and even sent us an odd professor to help us learn, I feel that you have done a lot to help us get ready and my family is prepared so do not worry."

"I know Carlisle but I just forgot to tell you of an event that's going to start up tomorrow," Albus said as he snapped his fingers.

"An event?" Esme asked as a house elf popped into the room.

"What can Tipsy get for you," Tipsy asked as the house elf shly looked up at the group.

"Could you please bring up one lemon tea and seven cups of fresh animal blood please," Albus asked with a smile as the house elf nodded madly.

"Tipsy be doing that, does Master Headmaster Albus Dumbledore and his friends be needing anything else?" Tipsy asked as she looked around the room.

"The drinks shall be fine," Esme said with a soft smile to the small house elf.

With that the house elf disappeared and a few moments later the drinks appeared on the table.

"I thought the event was us coming to this school," Jasper said with a frown as he shared a look with his brothers, Emmett sitting on a sofa next to Rosalie while Edward was leaning against the wall next to the fireplace.

"Ah, about that," Albus said with such a smile that the Cullen's could sense a problem, "With things how they have been Voldermot and his Death Eater's we planned to have a week or so for the families of the students to come to Hogwarts, have a look around and get to know the school, teachers, what their children are learning and everything. It's more of a 'letting the parents know that their children are safe' if you get me."

Jasper gave a nod, in times of war people being together was sometimes the most powerful thing which could overcome a lot.

"You mean that there will be even more humans here," Rosalie said with a sneer, "If the thought of the ones inside this castle wasn't off putting enough."

"Rosalie…" Carlisle said, his voice carrying a warning.

Albus let out a chuckle as he picked up his lemon tea, "Children, what wonderful gifts they are, I like to think of each person who has been a student in this school a child of mine in some way though sometimes I feel like they only come here to drive me up the wall and prove those who think I'm going senile correct."

Carlisle sent Albus a soft smile, "Yes, but I'm doomed to have teenagers forever."

They shared a small laugh over that as each of the Cullen's took their drinks and had a sip.

"Now then is there going to be any changes because of this family event?" Esme asked, slightly surprised at how the wizards had managed to make animal blood into a drink, "Would it be better for us to arrange our visit for another time?"

"No no that won't be needed," Albus said with a smile as he stirred his tea, "We'll go on with our plans, you and the students interacting when possible but I thought it might be a good idea to warn you before they all come later today."

"Thank you again Albus," Carlisle said with a smile, "Will there be any changes to meal times, classes and such?"

"Not that I'm aware off, the students will still be required to go to class but their family may be in the class and take part as well through we'll be changing the times and what classes when around but it shouldn't affect you or your family," Albus said as he looked down at his cup, "Oh lemon drops, it's gone cold."

***Earlier that evening with the Dursley's***

"You just have to love this time of year," Vernon Dursley said as they sat around the television, "It's 2nd September and that boy has done back to his freak school."

Petunia Dursley's lips almost disappeared as she gave a hum of agreement.

"Mum, I'm hungry," Dudley moaned, not taking into consideration that he had only had tea a few minutes before.

"Don't you worry my little Diddydumms, mummy will-"

Blast, the door had been thrown off of its hinge's and in stepped a group of men and woman dressed in robes and holding sticks.

"The Dursley family?" a tall dark skinned man with a single golden loop earring asked.

No sound came from the three of them as the wizards and witches fixed their door and stood in a semi-circle around the animal like family.

"Hi! Remember me?" one of the wizard's cried out as he gave a little wave to Vernon, "We met the day before Harry got placed on your doorstep."

"So these are the right ones?" Kingsley asked as he turned to the wizard who gave him a nod causing him to sigh in relief, "Thank Merlin, this is the sixth house that we've been into, you wouldn't of guessed that muggles could make houses look as if they used a copying charm to create a whole neighbourhood of houses."

After a few minutes of sitting there in shock the Dursley's came around to look up and see the smirking faces of the magic users.

"Let's get you all packed and ready to go then," Kingsley said as he waved his wand and three already packed suitcases came flying down the stairs, "We don't want you to be late for the train."

Vernon finally managed to form understandable words as they found themselves being lead out of the house, "Where are you taking us? Going to send us to our death?"

The wizard's shared amused looks.

"It might feel like that at times," Kingsley said, "But were just taking you to catch the train to Hogwarts where you'll meet up with your nephew and spend the family event for however long Dumbledore has it going."

Using the shock state that the Dursley's was in, Kingsley and the other wizards and witches led the three muggles to the train station.

"I know I should pity the muggles," Kingsley said to one of the other witches, "But with Potter's family I find myself pitying the wizarding world."
