So it is done?" I nod as I look to see Draco staring at me. I look at Hermione.
"Can you speak with Draco and update him on what is happening? He must tell his mother about the news. I will have to come out as the Heir to the black house. Draco's father will not like that. He will need to prepare for this." I say in a soft voice. Hermione nods as she takes my hand in hers and squeezes. I rub the back of her hand with my thumb as she smiles softly before walking away.
"Pansy, luv. I have to go. I don't Know when I will be back. If I don't make it back for dinner. Make sure Luna has her vegetables." Luna pouts at this. Pansy looks up at me as she nods and hugs me.
"I will beloved. Be safe." I nod and walk towards Amelia who is waiting for me.
"Are you ready? We will be heading by floor travel." I nod and follow Shacklebolt following us. Heading towards The headmasters room. We see Albus walk into the flames as Mcgonagal and Snape are standing there. Ignoring them Amelia throws in the powder. " Bones Office" and steps through with me following.
-Wizengamot Chambers-
"Order.. order I say!!" Minister Fudge says to the clamoring of the various Lords and Ladies.
"Who summoned an emergency meeting!?" Lord Montague says standing up.
"I was just informed by Patronus that Amelia Bones has some dire information. From Hogwarts." Minister Fudge says. Lucius perks up.
"Really? Something happened at Hogwarts you say? Why was the Board not made aware of this?" Lucius draws out. The door opens and Albus strides in. His robes billowing As the crowd quiets down before Albus takes his seat. His face is a schooled mask of indifference.
"This just happened today Lord Malfoy. As soon as it occurred the notice was sent out. Pray tell how you wished to be informed when the event has not happened yet?" Albus says softly. The light side snickers. Lucius gets a small red tint to his cheeks as he glares at Albus. Before he can retort the doors bang open once again as Amelia strides In and I am following her.
-PoV-
Walking into the chamber I look around in wonder. Ancient magic surrounds me. Analyzing Me. Judging me. I allow the magic to penetrate my cores as my eyes dilate. The room shudders as the Lord's and Ladies gasp in shock. Knowing what happened. I look at Amelia who just looks at me and sighs in resignation. Shaking her head she gestures to me to follow her to the center.
"My Lords and Ladies. I received an anonymous letter saying that there was a sighting of Bellatrix Lestrange near Hogwarts. Acting on that information. I gathered a small team of my best Aurors and we arrived at Hogwarts. While I was speaking with the Headmaster. An incident occurred that brought to light a past wrong that the Ministry has done." Minister Fudge gulps and adjusts his shirt. I look at that and roll my eyes.
"Hem Hem"
"Therefore please…"
" Hem Hem." Amelia stops as she looks around for the interruption. I look towards a toad faced witch wearing pink. I gag slightly.
"Yes? Miss?" Amelia says. I smirk knowing full well she knows who this person is.
"I am 'Senior Under Secretary' Dolores Umbridge. I have trouble understanding. You blame the ministry? Why? We have only the best intentions for the common people. And our Distinguished Lords and Ladies. How is it that you accuse the Ministry of foul play." She says in a high pitched voice. I want to take my wand and Avada Myself just listening to her.
"Madam Undersecretary. If you would have kindly not Interrupted Distinguished Madam Bones. So rudely may I say. You would have had your question answered. Now please be patient. You have no grounds to Interrupt our most Distinguished Auror. Madam Bones. Who is also Regent Bones to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Bones." I lay out thickly. I hear some murders of agreement from the dark side and the light side. I see Amelia stare at me from the corner of her eyes as she has a small upturn of her lips.
Umbridge bristles at my words and she goes to say more but a sharp look from Minister Fudge stops her. "Please continue Madam Bones." He says. I look at him and see he is actually worried about Lestrange being loose. I nod.
"As I was saying. An incident occurred. Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Remus Lupin. Set off a chain of events due to a Rat being brought in front of him. He started casting spells against said rat. These spells were not intended to cause permanent harm. Just maim. He started Yelling about Wormtail. And his betrayal. Ladies and Gentlemen. That rat. Is the so-called dead hero. Peter Petegrew." Murmurs spread out amongst everyone.
"Peter Petwgrew. The man who fought Sirius Black to a standstill but was killed along with 14 other muggles?" A random lord said. Amelia nodded.
"Yes. I was shocked when a spell hit the rat and it turned out he was an Animagus. Magic has decreed that he was Peter when placed in our holding cells. There is no deception. Bring in the accused."
The doors open and 2 red robed aurors walk in with Peter stumbling in with magical chains around his wrists and feet. A chair rises in the center as the chains come to life and attach themselves to the chair. Forcing Peter to sit.
"Veritaserum." An old wizard wobbles in carrying a small wooden box as he Places it in front of Amelia. She waves her wand. "Let the record show. Veritaserum vial 1084 is unopened from the Department of Mysteries." The box opens as a green glow encompasses it. Signaling an unpainted vial. She pours the 3 drops into a struggling Peter's mouth as his eyes glaze over.
"What is your name?"
"Peter Wilhelm Petergrew."
"Who were your friends at Hogwarts?"
"Prongs. Padfoot. And Moony."
"Let the record show he is under the potion. What Happened the Night of July 31st 1981?"
"I told my Lord the secret of the Potter home. I was the secret keeper. Afterwards I was cornered by Sirius Black and I decided to kill the 14 muggles that were there and cut off my finger to escape."
Loud noises were heard throughout the chamber as I was clenching my fists hard and blood dripped Down from my nails.
"Are you a Death Eater?"
"Yes."
"Why did you betray your friends?"
"I wanted Lily for myself. I was jealous of Prongs." I suddenly lunge at him in a fury as Amelia grabs my body holding me back. The various Lords and Ladies stand up at this as I snarl at Peter.
"She would have never loved you. You coward. You rat faced bastard. Remus is right. A thousand curses upon your soul." I stop struggling as Amelia places herself in front of me and cups my face as she stares at me calming me down. I breathe Out. "I'm sorry Madam Bones."
"Anger is a good motivation, Harry. But letting it consume you will lead only to ruin. Channel the rage." she says to me. I nod. She turns back to Minister Fudge.
"As you can see Peter Petegrew was and is the cause of death for the 14 muggles. I call a vote for the immediate exoneration of Sirius Black."
Lucious stands up. "How do we know that he is not in league with Peter? He could be a Death Eater for all we know."
I Scoff and roll my eyes as Amelia lightly places a hand on my arm. I quiet down as she turns to Peter. "Is Sirius Black a Death Eater?"
"No. He never was. The Lord was most displeased." he drones out. I smirk at Pucious who sneers at me before splitting down. Amelia holds up a vial of pink liquid.
"Let the record show, the antidote for vial 1084 is unopened." she taps it with her wand and it glows green for untampered. Giving it to Peter his eyes slowly clear from its glassy state. He looks around before paling.
Minister Fudge stands up. "All those in favor of Absolving Sirius Black's incarceration." There was a flood of white Lights signaling a yay. There was no other choice. The evidence was too concrete. "The council has come to an agreement. From this time forth. Sirius Black is free."
I frown as Amelia grips my arm hard. "Sirius Black is Dead."
There is silence before everyone jumps to their feet in an outrage.
"What do you mean he is dead!?!"
"He was just in Azkaban?"
"Did the guards forget to check on his status?"
"Why were We not informed of his death? He is a Pureblood."
I look at them with disgust. ' Fucking sycophants. They are just now trying to curry favor. I can see Lucius smiling. To bad for him I'm about to pull that fucking rug right out from under him. This Entire council needs new leadership. Young leaders. Not these old fucks.' I get brought out of my musings as Albus makes a bang with his wand quieting the room.
"I call forth the chair of House Black as my son is the Heir." I hear Lucius say. I can practically taste the greed from the dark side. I smirk. Amelia sees this as she tsks me and jabs my side. I chuckle.
The room shudders as Magic coalesces into a seat amongst the Lord's. A midnight black leather shell back throne appears with golden trimmings. The Crest of House Black materializes on the head rest. As magic writing forms the motto floating above the chair. Lucius grins as he stands up. "As lord of House Malfoy I take up Regency for House Black until my son Draco Malfoy comes of age to gain his inheritance." He says. The light side looks dismayed at this. The dark side is salivating with greed. I start Grinning wide as moments pass as the throne does not move. Lucius frowns at . I walk up getting the attention of the chambers.
"I, Harry James Potter, Heir to House Potter and Heir Primary of House Black hereby place Andromeda Druella Tonks as Regent to House Black until I come of Age. So I say, "so mote it be." The various Lords all gasp as the dark side starts shouting. The throne of House Black shines white before the chamber doors open and In strides a woman of homely beauty. Long straight brown hair. Steel gray eyes with a regal face. She stands in front of me and Amelia as she curtains.
"Heir Potter. I have received your summons." She says in a smooth voice.
"Thank you for coming. This wasn't supposed to happen so soon. I have much to speak with you about. Please take care of all votes till I come of age. Please stay with the 'Neutrals' for now until I can find where I need to be. If you have issues. Send an Owl. Or talk with Lord Greengrass." I say. Andromeda inclines her head as the Black Throne vanishes and Appears right next to Lord Greengrasses throne. Andromeda walks up the steps and sits down.
I stare at Lucius who stares back glaring At me. I smirk and wave to him. Turning to Amelia. "Will you send me an Owl when I can go retrieve my godfather's Bones to be properly buried. I believe I have school to return to." Amelia just rubs her eyes in exasperation.
"Yes. You have given me so much to do. Problem Child." I grin cheekily before walking out of the chambers. Not seeing a green water bug fly out after me.
Amelia turns to Minister Fudge who is staring at Andromeda With disbelief. She clears her throat. " Minister. We have much to discuss." He snaps out of his daze as he nods his head.
-Gryffindor Common Room-
Hermione and Luna were Sitting on the couch. Hermione tries to read a book of hexes but fails as she co timeously bites her nails. Luna is staring into the flames not moving. Hermione sees movement on the ground and Aurora leaps up onto the book grabbing her attention. "Hello girl. Where have you been? It's Been a couple days since we've last seen you." Aurora nuzzles into Hermione's pets. Before walking over to Luna and smacking her in the face with her tail softly. Luna blinks before looking down.
"Oh, hello. You have been with Astoria lately haven't you." At that Aurora raises an eyebrow. But shakes it off. Months spending time with this girl has made her not question it. "Harry will figure it out. But many things keep popping up. So much to do and so little time." Hermione raises an eyebrow.
' Did Harry tell her his plans? No. He told me Luna knows what Luna knows. Oh well. Draco knows what will be happening at the ministry today. Poor boy. And I thought at first he was just a bigot. Turns out there is more to him than that. Harry is good for him. Brings out the best in us. And Luna. Grounds him. In a way. That I can't. But that doesn't mean he cares any less. Oh I can't believe I said those words to him.'
-Flashback-
-Astronomy Tower-
Standing by the railing looking out towards the Black Lake and the surrounding hills. I breathe in the deep valley's air. Hearing Harry walk up next to me. Breathing out and telling myself to get to it. I turned to him. My best friend. The man I fell in love with.
"Harry. I know you know that I am a bossy know it all. It is all I've ever known. I found solace in my books. I've always wanted to know more. Learn all that there is to know. I could spend days just sitting in a library and reading myself to death. I never really understood other kids. Spending time with children outside when I could be happier inside with a book. I'm not the most sociable as well. I love my parents. I really do. But… I don't think they should have been parents. They love me. In their own way. I know that. But they love their job even more so. I love them. But their priorities were a bit skewed." Pausing to take a couple breaths I appreciate the fact he is listening patiently. "Getting my letter to Hogwarts was jarring. To say the least. I was apprehensive. But then I had a thought. What if I could make some friends here? Be someone different than A bookworm. Seeing Diagon Alley for the first time was an amazing experience. All the wonders of magic. It gave me hope that I could find somewhere where I belong. I bought so many books from the bookstore. The history of the most popular witches and wizards. I know you know that I am actually a year older than our year. So I had an entire year to learn about the magical world. I must have read 'Hogwarts A History' about 10 times. Learning about houses. I immediately thought that Ravenclaw would be the best suit. They love knowledge. But then I got to thinking. I wanted To change. I didn't want to stay a bookworm. I wanted to make friends. I wanted to be a different Hermione. So I decided to take a leap. When the sorting hat was placed on my head it wanted to put me in Ravenclaw. I asked if I could be sorted elsewhere. I wanted to change. The hat was impressed. It said it takes great courage to want to change. Especially to change oneself For the better. So he placed me in Gryffindor." I Look up at him as he grins.
"The hat wanted to put me in Slytherin. But I already met Ron and got along with him well enough. Then Draco barges in and starts being a bigot. I asked the hat to not be put in Slytherin." I opened my mouth in surprise.
"I didn't know that.!" He chuckles.
"Not many do. But continue."
Shaking my head I lean my arms on the railing. "Anyways. The hat sorted me into Gryffindor and I was so excited. And then we get to our dorm rooms. And Lavender, Parvati and Fay. They were talking about all of these things. Magical hair creams. And girly stuff. And I realized. I may have read a bunch about this world. But I never put it into practice. I never actually spoke with someone. And when I realized that. I froze. Lavender tried to get me to join in the conversation. But I was overthinking things and shut her out. I closed my curtains and buried myself under the covers. I told myself I would be different the next day. And as you can probably guess. I didn't. Days pass and then weeks. Then Halloween came. The single scariest day of my life. And then it became my most Treasured memory. It was the day you came into my life. Well. Not you… You. But you know what I mean. That day I made my very first friend. It was amazing. I finally Felt like I belonged. Then the whole Quirrelmort. When you charged head first into the flames. It was the bravest thing I have ever seen. Summer of that year I wrote to you every day, you never replied. I was saddened. But then you told me what happened with Dobby. I was relieved. When I got petrified. It was like a dream. I could sometimes hear what goes on in the hospital wing. I heard you talk to me. And read the book for the year. It made me calm. I knew you would get it done. You will always persevere. Then knowing Harry… died… it was… it was hard. But then you told me. You didn't have to tell me. Why did you tell me?" I look at him as he rubs the back of his neck before sighing.
"I'm not the smartest… I usually just charge head first into situations. In my old life. I. Well. I didn't have a good life. I joined the military because I didn't know what to do with my life. I was a soldier. For 5 years. I think? I don't remember exactly when I died… I was in a world I only thought existed in a book. And I cannot use any of the knowledge. I can react. And plan. But changing too much causes too many variables. But all I know is that you were there. By his side since the beginning. More than Ron. More than Anyone. It was you. Always you that was with him. I knew I could trust you. With anything. You have and forever will be the most important bond." He says Staring at me. His intense emerald eyes bored right into my soul.
Smiling, making up my mind. I grab his collar and bring him towards me and I smash my mouth with his kissing him as I pour all of my emotions into it. Our teeth clack together a bit painfully. I burn with embarrassment as I pull back and duck my face. Looking at my toes I notice he doesn't move as I feel I have made a grave mistake. Before I see his hand reach out and cup my chin and lift my head. Feeling a warm tingle in my belly when I look into his dark emerald orbs. He smiles Crookedly. The one I love so much before he gently kisses me.
' Sweet Morgana.'
Wrapping my arms around his neck he pulls me close to him. Kissing him I feel all is right and my magic sings in his embrace. Pulling back I touch my lips with a giggle. Smiling he presses His forehead against mine. I smile and feel his magic envelop me in a cocoon of safety.
"I know you are courting Pansy. She will be good for you. Harry. I love you. I want to be with you. But. I don't want your last name. Or. I do. I just. What I mean to say is." He presses a finger against my lips making me stop. Looking up at him I see his gentle smile. I have only seen him Give Luna.
"I have a feeling I know what You want. You want to start your own House. The first of the Granger family. Am I correct? You love your family. And I know you will never give it up. I support you love. Just as I know you will always be By my side. I will also be by yours. I love you Hermione Jean Granger. And I will be honored to be a part of your life." Blinking back tears.
"You lovable oaf." I hug him tight. I hear a grunt and A crack as he hangs limp in my arms. "Oops." I say with a giggle.
-Flashback End-
Covering Her face With her hands Hermione blushes beet red. Luna glances over before resuming her petting of Aurora. Aurora looks to the entrance of the common room as it opens. I walk in and I look around to see a small amount of people still awake. They see me and I expect them to come up to ask questions but they don't. They wave at me before turning back to what they are Doing. I feel a small person wrap their arms around me as I absentmindedly pet her hair as I Feel her Purr. I blink and look down and see Luna nuzzling my side and actually purring. Shrugging at it being a Luna Thing I walk with her towards our couch and sit down and lean against Hermione's shoulder as she takes my hand and holds it. Luna curls up on my other side as I see Aurora hop up onto my lap and start nuzzling my face.
"Hey princess. Where have you been all this time?" Aurora just continues nuzzling my head. Hermione looks at me as she lays her head on mine.
"I told Draco what was going to happen. He thanked me and basically ran towards the owlery. I hope he makes it in time. The Aurors that were left by Madam Bones have finished up their rounds. They didn't find Bellatrix." Aurora stiffens momentarily. "Officer Singer will be staying for the next week just to be on the safe side. She is that Woman who was walking with Madam Bones. Her Prodigé of sorts." I simply smile and close my eyes listening to her talk lulling me to sleep.
-Slytherin Common Room-
Walking back inside the common room I look around for Pansy Before spotting her sitting on a couch in front of one of the large windows showing the underside of the lake. I can see her wringing her hands as she is biting her lip in worry. Knowing what's going through her mind I walk over and sit next to her and take her hand, wincing at the death grip. "He will be fine Pansy, he is your beloved is he not?"
She turns to me, I can see the mania behind her eyes swirl as she gets in her head. "But what if something happens in the council? What if they make him stay longer than necessary. What if they imprison him?!" I rub the back of her hand in small circles.
"Shhh. Shh. It will be alright. He is Harry Potter. They wouldn't dare imprison the boy who lived. Besides, Amelia Bones was with him. She has a lot of sway there. She will make sure he is safe." My words seem to have gotten To her as I feel the magic settle around her. Smiling Softly I pet her head as she closes her eyes and finally relaxes. ' I'll need to speak with him concerning Pansies affliction. Mother spoke to me about it. Similar to Aunt Bellatrix. Chaotic magic manifesting In witches.'
Pansy leaves soon after to get some sleep as I sit on the couch and contemplate. I feel the couch shift as I look and sigh heavily as a boy with brown hair leans back with an easy grin on his face. "Sallow. What do I owe the pleasure of your presence."
He grins. "Malfoy. Some crazy shit in the Great Hall huh. And what do you know? Golden boy right smack dab in the middle of it all." His grin fades as he steels his gaze. "Have you thought of my offer?"
Sighing I rub my temples. "I have Sallow. And I truly, truly feel for your predicament. But I cannot just give you access to my family's grimoires. Besides, Our family doesn't deal with curses. Especially not the one your sister is going through. The Curse you described seems to me that it deals more with the soul. Or her magical core. I am sorry Sebastian, but that Branch of magic is unfamiliar to me."
Sebastian Frowns as he looks down as his fists clenched tightly. "I cannot just give up!"
I raise a hand up. "I never said give up, I just said that you have currently reached a dead end. Magic Will find a way. I am sure of it. Let me spread some feelers out. See if I can find something relating to soul magic. I shall get back to you with what I have found. Don't give up. Family is everything my friend." I say. Sebastian looks at me and nods before leaving swiftly. I lay my head back on the couch and groan softly.
' Fucking Hell. Father is going to be furious. I do hope Ares made it home swiftly for Mother to leave the house. I don't want her there when the meeting is over. I Wonder how many more years I'll have to play this charade.' Getting up and stretching I walk to my room to get some sleep.
-Hogwarts Grounds-
I find a nice spot on the grassy knoll as I toss my book bag on the ground and lay down with my hands behind my head as I look up at the clouds.
' A few weeks Have passed and I haven't heard anything from Amelia about when I can get Sirius. The year is almost over. I don't know what will happen. Harry dealt with the dementors at the end of the year. But now that Peter is gone. That event has changed. And buckbeak is not getting executed. That has also changed. The only thing is. Bellatrix is still at large. That has never happened. I don't know what she is thinking.'
"Haaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!"
' That's so weird. It's like someone is yelling my name.'
"Haaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!!!"
'No. That does sound like someone is yelling my name.' Sitting Up I look around and see a small figure racing down the grounds. Covering my eyes from the sun I squint.
"Haaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!!"
The figure is waving their arms trying to get my attention. Standing up I squint harder, finally noticing brown hair waving frantically in the wind as Little Astoria is huffing and Puffing trying to get to me as soon as she can. I narrow my eyes as I feel a wave of anger as I spot a bruise on her cheek. A dark purple.
"Haaaaaarrrryyyy!!!!" She yells out. Walking towards her she crashes into me, not able to stop as we go tumbling end Over end as I hold her to me before we roll to a stop with her on top of me as I feel her shaking as she is breathing heavily. Trying to speak. I sit up and move her so she is sitting sideways in my lap. I wave my hand and a cup made from the soil forms as water swirls around from the moisture in the air. Handing it to her as she shakily takes it and starts drinking. I place my hand on her upper back hearing the beating of her heart. Frowning At how rapidly it is beating I slowly push my magic into her as she stiffens and her lips part with a red flush to her cheeks as I force my magic to soothe her heart. After a minute of doing this I let my magic flow back into me as she gasps when the last of my magic leaves her as she slumps against me. Her eyes glazed Over.
After a couple minutes she stirs as she looks up at me before shaking her head. "Harry! They took her!! They took Aurora!"
I blink before looking at her. "What do you mean? Please tell me what happened."
-Flashback 30 Mins-
Astoria is walking along the halls holding Aurora as the norm. Students passing by leave her be. "What should we do today? I finished my homework. I could practice some charms. I feel good enough to do that…. Yeah. That's what we shall do today." Aurora meows as she lays her head on top of Artorias.
"Well look at it Here boys. We got ourselves a lone firstie."
Astoria stops mid stride as she looks behind her in the abandoned hallway to see a group of older students. Slytherins. Astoria backs away as Aurora hisses. "Wha.. What do you mean? I-I'm just going to practice my charms…" the boys laugh.
The leader walks up as he narrows his eyes at Aurora. "I recognize that cat. That's Potter's familiar. That fucker almost got me expelled!" He snarls out. Astoria blinks before paling. That is Graham Montague. The rumors about him attempting to force himself onto Harry's betrothed was spread as Fast as Fiendfyre. He is a bad man. Aurora is hissing and snarling, swiping her paw at Graham who laughs. "Aww. Is the little pussy going to scratch me?" He suddenly has his wand out. 'Wingardium Leviosa' Aurora gets lifted in the air as she starts meowing and spanking out trying to find Anything for purchase. Astoria gasps as she reaches up and hops In place trying to catch her.
"Put her down you big meanie! She doesn't like that!" Astoria says as she stops breathing heavily. She looks up to see she is surrounded by the boys as she shakily reaches for her wand. "Harry won't like what you are doing…" she grasps her wand before her arm was pulled harshly by one of the boys. Yelping in pain, her wand falls from her grip. She stares helplessly at her friend rolling away. Graham is just laughing madly twirling Aurora about.
Astoria glares at him. "Harry is going to hurt you Montague. Not to say what my sister will do to you once she finds out you have touched…"
" Smack"
Astoria is suddenly looking at the wall as she blinks. She looks around as the other boys are now backing away with wide eyes. She feels a burn on her cheek as she slowly reaches up and touches it. Wincing at the flare of pain. She slowly looks up to see Graham looking down at her with a sneer. "Why is it that bitchs think they can talk back to their Lord's."
"Graham… mate."
"You just hit Greengrass."
"Daphne is going to kill you." his friends say as Graham snarls at them.
"She won't do shit if you keep your traps shut. MERLINS BALLS. First Malfoy is slowly taking over the court that I have been meticulously planning on being King. Then I would rule Slytherin. Fucking Warrington. Fucking Malfoy. Fucking POTTER!" he growls as spit flies out of his mouth. Astoria is standing there stunned as can be from being hit. She never gets hit. She looks down not knowing what to do.
"Let's get out of here. We can give Potter a present. How much does Kneazle fur go for these days? This one has a nice coat." as Montague walks away with Aurora yowling in anger. Astoria snaps her head up before picking up her wand and running away to look for Pansy. She would know where Harry is.
-Flashback End-
At the end of it Astoria was quietly crying as she curled into my embrace. I softly place my finger on her bruise as she winces slightly before feeling my magic soak into her. The pain lessening bit by bit before the dark purple is not a yellowy green. She looks up at me as I wipe her tears. "I'm sorry for not being strong enough to stop them." I shake My head and kiss her forehead.
"It is not your fault, little one. What I want you to do is go get your sister. I'm sure she and Pansy are on their way here. Go To Madam Pomfrey and let her know that 4 boys will be needing medical attention." I help her up as she nods and turns to see Daphne sprinting down the grounds towards us with a look of absolute Fury on her face as she slides to a stop in front of Astoria before fretting Over her looking everywhere and moving her body in ways to make sure she is okay. She snaps her head towards me while I am rummaging around my bag for the map.
"Potter."
"Yes Greengrass?"
"Make them suffer."
"Of course. They dared touch what is mine. And they took my cat. Think your father has enough sway to keep me from Azkaban?" I don't notice what I said in my rage but someone did as she squeaks in surprise and now has a furiously blushing face. Daphne also doesn't pick up on it in her fury.
"Of course he can. They hurt Tori. He would Have killed them. I don't want their deaths. I want them to suffer." Daphne says as I finally find the map. Pulling it out I nod to Daphne.
"Of course. Take her to Pomfrey. I'll send the others. One way or the other." Daphne nods and walks away with red faced Astoria who continues to peek at me from her sister's arms.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." The map reveals itself as I start searching for Graham. finding Them on the 5th floor in a room I blink. I rub my eyes and look again. Staring at the map I wave my hand and my bag Flies to my shoulder as I put the map in. Walking back to the castle my mind is racing with thoughts.
' Bellatrix is Aurora…'
