“Reducto!”

 The dummy blasted into black mist.

 “Brilliant, James!” Harry exclaimed.

 James smiled proudly as everyone else clapped in awe.

 “That’s it for today,” Lorenzo announced. “Thank you all for coming, and we’ll see you here again on Thursday.”

 The members left the Room of Requirement one by one. Soon, only Harry, Lorenzo, Teddy, Victoire, Sirius and Andromeda were in the room.

 “Teddy, you seemed down all day,” Victoire said gently. “Is everything alright?”

 Teddy shrugged. Harry, Sirius and Lorenzo also looked at him, concerned.

 “Is there something bothering you?” Andromeda asked.

 Teddy sighed, then opened his mouth.

 “I don’t think I’ll be attending any more DA meetings.”

 “Why not?” Sirius asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

 “I mean, is the training even worth it?” Teddy asked.

 “Of course it’s worth it, Teddy,” Harry replied. “The students have all been improving. Besides, they seem to really enjoy it.”

 “And you know it’s not only for their Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons and O.W.L.s,” Lorenzo added. “They all need to be prepared to fight Delphini and her supporters.”

 “See, that’s the point,” Teddy huffed. “We don’t even know if there would be another war. Delphini never even said she would start one. We’re all doing it for nothing.”

 “For nothing?!” Lorenzo seemed shocked, almost offended. “Of course, we don’t know if Delphini would start another war - although I’m sure she will, sooner or later - but wouldn’t it make sense to be prepared in case?”

 “What, only for us to all die?!”

 Harry, Sirius, Andromeda and Victoire exchanged nervous glances.

 “Do you not see what Delphini is doing to the wizarding world?!” Lorenzo raised his voice. “To David? To Remus? To the other innocent people? We need to fight back, Teddy, no matter what it takes!”

 “I do not want another war, Lorenzo!” Teddy shot back. “I lost my mother in the Second Wizarding War. I nearly lost my sister a few weeks ago. And you’re standing here, talking about another war? Are you mad?!”

 “So you’re just gonna be a coward and stand by and do nothing while Delphini is making those poor people suffer and ruining the wizarding world?!”

 Teddy turned around angrily before storming out of the Room of Requirement.

 “Teddy!” Victoire ran after him. “Wait!”

 Lorenzo rolled his eyes.

 “Can you believe him?”

 Harry didn’t say anything.

 “Teddy’s my son and all, but I have to side with you, Lorenzo,” Sirius said. “We really should give everything to fight against Delphini.”

 “Thank you,” Lorenzo replied, somewhat haughtily. “At least someone doesn’t think I’m mad.”

 “Sirius, but you understand where Teddy is coming from,” Andromeda said. “Losing Nymphadora was devastating, you know that. And we were all so afraid when we found out what that bitch did to Marigold. I would hate it if you or anyone else got hurt or died while fighting Delphini.”

 “You’re right, I suppose….” Sirius nodded.

 “I don’t think neither Teddy nor Lorenzo was wrong,” Harry opened his mouth. “For now, I think we should let them be. They’re best friends, so they’ll make up sooner than we expect.”

 “I hope you’re right,” Sirius said.
