New way of life
Our story starts in the DADA classroom. The new teachers Alecto and Amycus are discussing how their first week teaching went.
Alecto smiled. "The young first years seem keen to learn."
Amycus said, "Yeah, reminds me of myself at that age."
Alecto smirked. "What? Young and innocent?"
Amycus laughed. "No, Ally. I just meant excited to learn."
Alecto replied, "That was before we discovered the dark arts though."
Amycus nodded and muttered, "I wish that we had never gone down that path."
Alecto told him, "Look at it this way, if we hadn't done the things we did, then maybe we wouldn't be where we are today."
Amycus answered, "Well, you're not wrong there."
Alecto grinned. "I know that you would never want to change a thing about this new way of life we have, Am."
