Unsurprisingly, Harry was exceedingly excited when he walked into the boardroom. .he loved the political scene, but only when it came to matters of real importance, and so there couldn't be enough Council meetings for the young man. .Sirius and Turnus trotted alongside and behind the green-eyed man, the latter had his nephew with him, who gave a very different picture.
"One might think you would be forced to take a lace making course by the looks of it," Lucius smirked.
."My uncle has been whining for a week," Theo announced frankly, who looked like he had to force the man into the boardroom.
"I'll be glad if you take over," he grumbled.
."No behavior you two and something like that belongs to the elite," Tatjana reprimanded the men.
"I never asked to be in the Sacred 28," the Ritual Warden grumbled.
"Who's talking about this silly list? .I am speaking of your talent and your posts, so please behave accordingly.”
"Like that old cucumber?" Sirius snorted, pointing at Albus Dumbledore.
"Siri, she said you should exude dignity. .the old one, on the other hand, kinda scares me. Is there a reason it looks like hunting has been legalized again?” Harry growled.
“Because this session will not just be a traditional one. .there are rumors about the dementors to be discussed further today. In other words, a decision is almost certain. The wizards haven't talked about anything else for weeks."
.Harry turned and looked straight into the face of Arnold von Ehrenhausen.
"So Dumbledore sells the fruit before the tree even bears fruit?"
Lydia Taylor almost laughed out loud.
"You could say it that way. Let's sit down. .Of course only if you don't mind being seen with us."
Tatjana hit her best friend lightly on the arm.
"Don't be silly Lyd, of course we don't mind."
“May we choose our seats freely? .I wouldn't be surprised if each family had their very own seat,” Harry mused.
"It used to be like that, but after some families started fighting even in here, it was better to let go of that tradition. .guess what cases it was." Sirius smirked.
"The Moodys and the Redlods, who else?" the young man sighed.
His companions nodded before they sat down next to Sebastian.
"Luc, tell me, didn't you want to bring Hermione?"
."She's coming soon, I sent her off quickly to pick someone up at the entrance."
Before Harry could ask who it was, the brunette beauty entered the room. With her came Percy and Severus.
."Ah," the green-eyed man said intelligently.
"There are no classes today," the blonde reminded his friend.
Harry blushed, since he was no longer a student himself he had somehow completely forgotten about the days off Hogwarts had.
."Let's just spread the cloak of silence over it," begged the prospective ritual guardian.
Lucius nodded smiling then they greeted the newcomers.
"And ready?" Sirius asked his husband.
He just raised an eyebrow.
."Not just me, as you can see," while he also looked at Dumbledore.
"I'm sure we'll soon find out why he's so happy," Hermione said when she saw the Minister.

As always, the greeting was short but concise. .Crouch had learned to hold back his speeches in recent years. Although he loved to ramble on about any topic, he had come to realize that doing so didn't exactly grab his audience's attention. .his new manner, on the other hand, was refreshing and people were much more willing to listen to him.
"Okay, the formalities are settled, then we can start. Actually, today would have been about the discovery of sundew. .three plants have been found in Wales. Unfortunately, it turned out that these were attacked by a very aggressive fungus and were therefore unusable. It's a pity, we wanted to set up a kennel, now we have to search again. .even the roots are gone.”
A disappointed murmur went through the room. Everyone was already looking forward to this breed and the discussions about the use of the plants were not broken off. .learning that the flowers were damaged caused many long faces.
"I can understand any of you but that's the way it is. However, our meeting today is not as useless as the flowers are, unfortunately. .many of you have approached me and asked me to advise you on the fate of the dementors today. I agreed to the request. .but don't get too excited, the Ritual Wardens have renewed the magic that hangs over this room. Should there be a vote today, the result will have to be adhered to. .I once made the mistake of believing that those present here would abide by the laws that have been passed. I won't be that stupid in the future."
"Neither of us hunted," Arthur said indignantly.
."How does he get in here again?" Tatjana hissed softly.
"He's Dumbledore's pupil," Sirius scoffed.
"Mr. Weasley, this isn't kindergarten so please don't heckle me or I'll send you back to etiquette class. .I've heard good things about your son's achievements. Also, it's not true, just because you haven't been successful in the hunt doesn't mean some haven't tried anyway. In the future, however, this will no longer be possible. .the spell also ensures that none of you can incite another to put themselves above the law. Including himself, of course.”
"And that's supposed to do something?" Amelia murmured, but was still heard.
."In this case, probably, only very few can even get close to dementors. All right, the discussion is open.”
