"Father!" Harry and Hermione cried happily, racing to his side as he opened his arms and hugged them tight. "You didn’t tell us you were taking over The Board of Governors!" Harry accused from where he was still under his Father’s comforting arm. Tom grinned down at his son, who so resembled himself at that age. "I wasn’t certain it would work and didn’t want to get your hopes up." He said, his rough voice full of love. "So you came from History of Magic didn’t you?" Tom asked as he sat down in a black dragon-leather armchair, raising an eyebrow at his children. "How was Professor Lupin? Satisfactory I hope." "Lupin is wicked." Harry grinned widely, of course, not all of his happiness was from the man’s teaching style."He has an unusual style of teaching, let us ask questions about History, starting with Hogwarts, and then giving a lecture on the facts and what’s important for us to know." Hermione nodded thoughtfully as she and Harry sat down in a double seater couch. "Really?" Tom asked smiling, ignoring Severus’ snort, the man still hated all the marauders and hadn’t agreed with appointing Remus Lupin onto the faculty. "They way he told the History of the Chamber of Secrets was... well odd I guess the word is." Harry said unaware of the danger he creating."He didn’t seem to hate Slytherins, or believe that Salazar wanted to kill all Muggle-borns." He mused. "Just why was the Chamber of Secrets brought up as a subject?" Tom asked dangerously quiet, red eyes instead of a dark wine red, were now crimson and narrowed in displeasure. "Um." Harry gulped leaning back and slightly into Hermione’s right side. "We have some news on that front." Severus spoke, taking Tom’s attention. "Dumbledore and Potter have been working to keep everything under wraps, going as far to rescind floo call authorization of the staff, although I suspect Potter still can. Because of suspicions I couldn’t risk sending mail to anyone either; wouldn’t put Dumbledore past reading my letters." Severus snarled. "Just what is being held from parents and the public?" Tom asked, dread and anger settling in his stomach. "The Chamber of Secrets, it’s been opened." Severus spoke tightly.
