Emily also agreed as after the ritual, Penelope had already achieved maturity, she just reminded them to be responsible.
Harry was happy to see them putting their trust on him and promised himself to not break that trust.
They decided that they will all go there one by one and Andy decided to go with him that day much to the chagrin of Hermione, Penelope and Jessica and amusement of the adults.
Just as they were talking and laughing, Dobby appeared with a letter.
"The great and amazing Harry Potter sir, Dobby received this letter for you from an owl. Dobby checked and everything be okay with it." He said making everyone smile at his enthusiasm of serving Harry.
Harry praised Dobby and took the letter from his hands. Unfolding it he found it was a letter from Amelia where she was asking to meet with him at his comfort.
" What is it Harry? " Lily asked.
" Its a letter from Amelia, mom." Harry answered before letting her read it too.
" Invite her here. I'm sure she will also understand why you wanted loyalty contract." Harry nodded at her words and asked Vörn to write the reply before sending Dobby to deliver the letter and usher Amelia to his home.
It didn't take long before his wards pinged and Harry went outside to meet her. He found that she had come with Susan.
"Harry, I'm really sorry for my words yesterday. I really had no intention of threatening or blackmailing you , I spoke like that in my agitation and panic." Amelia immediately apologized to Harry sincerely.
" Harry, aunty really is not a bad person. She is just very straight forward and blurted out those words in her nervousness." Susan came forward and held his hands while pleading for his aunt as tears welled up in her large cute eyes.
" Now who is shamelessly using little girls tears to get things done, huh.. " Harry said looking at Amelia,his lips twitching at testing his own medicine.
"See, I told you he will immediately spot it." Susan immediately became cheerful and looked at Amelia with a 'I told you so' expression.
"Cough.. Its not like this.." Amelia tried to defend herself in embarrassment making Harry shake his head.
"Alright Amelia. I too overreacted. I just hope you will understand my circumstances and how much of a risk I'm taking telling you everything." Harry said looking at Amelia seriously.
"So the alliance...?"
"Ofcourse it will continue. How can I say no to Susan." Harry said smiling as her patted Susan on her head, getting a hug in return.
"Let's go inside. Its time to tell you somethings. All of it will be covered under our secrecy oaths and you will also understand why I wanted you to sign loyalty contract." Harry said seriously, leading both of them inside.
As soon as they entered they were greeted, surprised by the group of people present there. Susan immediately went towards Hermione and others while Amelia was even more shocked to see Lily's portrait.
Before she could ask or say anything, Harry introduced everyone one by one finally making her realise who the people were.
"This is my group. We don't have any fancy name like order of fried chicken or Shit eaters but our group is much more united and trustworthy than them. If you know what I'm talking about." Harry said after Amelia was seated.
"Is this everyone? You know it will not be sufficient to deal with You-know-who.. What is the purpose of your group?" Amelia asked seriously but not in her usual interrogative tone.
"No there are some who are not here. I'm not seeking Quantity. We will be ready to take on every challenge.
As for the purpose of our group? We have banded together, to be each other's true friends and companions. To save ourselves and support each other during the coming time. To be ready to strike anyone who would want to mess with our lives and family and to not be the lone lion in the midst of a large group of hyenas." Seeing Amelia's surprised expression, Lily chuckled.
" What, you thought we will talk about saving the world, ruling the world or something like that? "
" I did actually thought so.. " Amelia said hesitatingly.
" Amelia, I won't say anything about other places, but at least British wizarding world needs a revolution to again start growing.
And no revolution succeeds without the willing participation of general public. Some strong and influential persons can indeed become leaders and rally masses but why would we want to take the headache and rally selfish and cowards and backstabbers.
We all know that is not gonna happen. The British Magicals are sheeps, they need a herder but we don't need sheeps." Amelia frowned but she had to admit that Lily didn't say anything incorrect.
" Did all of you sign loyalty contracts with him? " Amelia asked looking at everyone.
" We did. When we first met, we couldn't trust each other. There were obviously clauses to ensure our safety, independence and free will." Ted said.
" And Harry has never broken over trust till now. Truth be told, we were not very happy to sign the contract at first. But we have seen how much he has been doing to strengthen us, to keep us safe and to keep us happy.
You should have seen my daughter before and after, you would have understood it then." Emma added.
Amelia could see the bond between them and their love, care and gratitude towards Harry. She looked at Harry, listening and thinking about everything.
"Give me the contract. I want to check it thoroughly before signing it. Does Susan also needs to sign one?" Amelia asked.
"Yes, she should. Let me tell you some incidents and you will better understand my reasoning.
During the welcoming feast, 'the third floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a very painful death' these were his words. He has housed a Cerberus there and a bait to lure out Voldemort.
Now this could not be reported back to homes by students, so Dumbledore together with Snape potioned all the foods and drinks.
Second incident was the one when Dumbledore had called Hermione to his office, just after her Potion class with Snape, and was going to use mind art on her if not for our timely interference.
So if she signs a loyalty contract than she will be able to keep all these secrets safe and herself safe from being controlled against us." Amelia was very tensed hearing all his words.
" Should we not do anything about it immediately." She said looking sharply.
" No. We are still not ready for the head-on confrontation. We have to weaken their influence while strengthening ourselves. I promise you to deal with all these people before our Fifth year." Harry explained his reasoning, he also explained why he was not eliminating Dumbledore directly.
