HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 128 ]

Tonks didn't even know how it had gone yet because the second Moody had gotten back he had dragged her off to train.

And that was exactly where she found herself now yelling as she dived and dodged out of the way of several curses coming at her from various different directions, as she landed behind cover in one of the Auror training rooms.

Usually she would only have to fight one or two of the training dummies that were set on medium difficulty for her training, they were hard enough to beat when they outnumbered you.

But the second she was in position to start her training her skin paled and her hair went white, as Moody activated seven of the bloody things and put them on the max difficulty.

She had not even been able to get off a single spell for the past hour as she avoided the rainstorm of spells, they continuously threw at her, none of them lethal but all of them extremely painful.

"What the hell Moody, have you finally lost it!" She yelled over the cover to the grizzled old Auror who stood off at the boundary line to the training area with a grin on his scared face and a glint in his good eye, "Call them off, I've been at this for an hour now, isn't this enough."

"If you can still talk during all this then you're no where near done lass," Moody barked back at her from where he was standing.

"Let's see if you can handle another four hours of this, maybe by then you can handle yourself against a Cerberus who's lost his favourite squeaky toy." He mused with a sadistic smirk on his face that made it look even more gruesome than usual.

Tonks wanted to cry when she heard that she was going to have to handle four more hours of this same level of training.

But her thought process screeched to a halt when she heard his next word and a memory of herself using that exact same phrase came to her mind.

She had used it when talking with Magnus about Moody's harsh training and attitude and she immediately made the connection.

Her little cousin had ratted on her to him, and his response was this training from hell.

'Magnus, oh you are so going to pay for this when I next see you,' Tonks thought to herself with a snarl before she heard the familiar hissing of a bombarda spell coming towards her cover and she instantly jumped away before her shelter blew to bits instantly making her go on the defensive once again.

-Percy fire calls home about Scabbers-

Arthur Weasley sighed contently as he relaxed in his favourite armchair having just gotten back from his day at the office.

Things had been going well for him as of late, work had been relatively slow, and that had allowed him more free time than usual.

Now with all but little Ginny off to Hogwarts the Burrow was peaceful and he could take time to relax and read his collection of Muggle magazines that he had been stockpiling but never had time to browse.

Just as he reached over to take up the first one, titled "Golf Magazine" of all things, the floo flared with green embers making Arthur sigh, what had the twins done this time.

Merlin, he loved all his children to bits, but he just did not know what was going on with those two at times.

Getting up from his chair Arthur approached the fireplace and got down on his knees as he leaned forward into the flames just as the visage of Professor McGonagall appeared in them.

"Good evening Professor, so what have the twins done this…" Arthur started to greet her through the flames, entirely expecting her to inform him of the latest prank that his two sons had no doubt pulled, and what their punishment was going to be.

Only to stop himself when he saw her expression, it wasn't annoyance or irritation as it normally was, it was much more paler than that.

He didn't think he'd ever seen her look so shaken. "Minerva, what is it?" he asked as he realised this was not a regular call.

"Oh Arthur," Minerva said with a sigh, "Somethings happened, but I don't have time, I have to go and get back to try and calm the students, Percy is here and he can explain what has happened," she explained before her face pulled back out of the fire before Percy's took its place.

"Dad," Percy greeted as soon as they saw one another.

"Percy, what's happened, what's wrong, is someone hurt? The twins? Ron?" Arthur began to ask quickly already suspecting the worst having happened.

"What?" Percy asked not understanding why his father was asking about his younger siblings before realisation dawned on him and his eyes widened.

"Oh no, no dad, they're fine, they're all fine… well Ron was knocked out but he's okay but considering what could have happened." He said looking a little green at whatever it was he was thinking about.

"What? Knocked out?" Arthur said in shock and concern for his youngest son, "Percy, what happened?" He asked in a harder tone wanting a straight answer.

Percy winced slightly at his father's tone. It was true that their mother was normally the one to take charge of the daily running of the family, handing out chores and tasks and generally keeping everyone in line.

But that was only due to his father being preoccupied with work, and while Arthur may let Molly run the show most of the time, when it matters, he steps up to deal with things.

"R-Right, sorry, it was just all such a shock that I'm still trying to come to terms with things, but I knew you and mum needed to be told about all of this straight away." Percy explained before he began his tale.
