The Centaur's Shrine

Sequel to Harry Potter and the Six Founders - The New Founders will get their first taste of wizard politics as they are called upon to fight a new, insidious enemy, challenging the legendary friendship holding them together. Meanwhile, at Hogwarts, a new trio will take over the Marauders' mantle.

Harry and his friends pay some visits to their favorite teachers, with results ranging from good to puzzling and bad.

Fred and George begin the initiation of their successors, the Six have a sobering discussion with the Headmaster and a young Centaur is initiated into the Herd.

After taking leave of Hogwarts, the Six are going back to London where the Ministry of Magic has not been sitting idly. Percy and the Fudge have a little talk and nothing is simple anymore. The mysterious group of wizards meets again.

After arriving in London and surviving Fudge's welcoming committee, the Six and Silena rejoin Grimauld Place. The first days are not going to be as peaceful as they could expect.

First day of Christmas vacation. The Six organize themselves at Grimauld. Harry and Draco have a talk then he and Hermione meet her parents once again.

Second part of first day of Christmas vacation. Draco meets the Weasleys - all the Weasleys, and nothing but the Weasleys.

Silena wants to be with her friends. An innocent request that will set several things in motion, and introduce an important character.

Hoping that enough time has elapsed since their last public appearance, Harry and his friends decide to visit Diagon Alley. Meanwhile Silena continues to discover the Muggle world at the Parker's flat. She, Alicia and Richard make progress with the Weasleys' riddle. Luna has some new information about the Centaurs.

Just a sweet little interlude as Harry and Draco look at the two recipes Snape gave them (Note: Silena is with the Parkers so she can't be corrupted).

This starts the second part of the story. More is said about the mysterious wizard organization, and two of its members. Severus confronts potion making and muggle chemistry. The Avengers plan and execute their first mission.

The continued education of Severus Snape, and the second part of the potion/chemistry experiments.

Draco and Ginny are invited to a "society" dinner at the Parkinsons. They will meet several interesting peoples...

Harry and Hermione on vacation. Flitz in training and other stuff.

The Christmas vacation is almost over and the Brotherhood is finally ready for some direct action. Their plan is complex and this is the first part.

Our friends are coming back to school. Arthur is notified of his new assignment by Fudge and the Centaurs ... well something important happens with them.

We're back to Hogwarts for a moment, The Avengers will make a new friend and the plot of the Brotherhood thickens.

My first ever Quidditch match description. What can I say? ... action.

Follow up from the Quidditch match, and from the Order of Merlin ceremony. Bad time for Hermione.

The Avengers take out their revenge on Mrs. Norris, and meet an unexpected night prowler. Hermione wakes up. The Brotherhood agents continue their manipulations.

Hermione reflects on what happened. The ripples from the previous actions continue to propagate. The Ministry passes a new law and indigested organic material impacts the rotating foils of the air conditioning unit.

Dumbledore steps in to handle the crisis at Gringotts, and then Arthur gives a piece of his mind to Fudge. The Avengers have their 'detention' with Remus, and Snape ... has his dinner with Helen. Some things will go well, and some won't.

Everything is now moving very fast. The Brotherhood makes its play in the High Court. Who will be Minister of Magic? You'll know at the end of this (long) chapter.

The morning after the Wizengamot debacle. Hurts for everybody, except the bad guys who are doing fine.

Follow up from the previous chapter's event. Alicia is gravely wounded and Snape is called in to save her. Arthur visits Gringotts again. Friends talk. Some things will go well, others will remain as they are, or worse.

Hogwarts is anything but serene as students take different sides concerning recent events. In London, resistance is being organized. The sense of humor of a certain Slytherin is tested and found wanting. Luna makes an attempt at healing.

Events are now moving fast. What happens in the outside world will complicate further what is going on at Hogwarts, and near it. Harry and Hermione make a breakthrough.

Hermione is trying to understand what the Circle is, when she gets an unexpected and unfortunate (?) visit. (Warning: Mild non sexual reference to nudity.)

Their friends attempt to get Hermione and Draco back. (Warning: Mild sexual reference - but not what you probably think.)

This is a long chapter in which many things happen, including the return of Dumbledore to Hogwarts after a Wizengamot meeting, the next moves of the Brotherhood, and the Centaurs.

The Centaurs have no choice. They must convince the Wizards to give them back their circle. Meanwhile, Silena, the Parkers and Flitz receive a history lesson and Helen visits Hogsmeade.

Camelot is where all the heroes meet. Action time. Remember that Helen plays AD&D, but it will never be the same again for her.

The final face off. And the last chapter (there'll be an epilogue).

Happy ending, with a twist thanks to a suggestion by Klwesler (not exactly what you had in mind, but close).
