Who Knew – by Vonski Chapter One: The Beginning

Professor Dumbledore office - Hogwarts

"How the hell could this have happened and how did no one notice this until now. Your telling me that this girl, Amelia Brown did you say, did not receive her Hogwarts letter 15 years ago and no one noticed" exclaimed Dumbledore.

"We don't know how this happened, it has gone unnoticed because no one has checked the records at the ministry for more than 15 years." Explained Dawlish the newly elected Minister of Magic. "Amelia or Mia as she sometimes goes by, lives in England, Manchester, and she apparently works for MI6, she is one of their best spies- she lives in a flat with two of her co-workers and is currently looking into the random disappearances and murders around England. That's how we found out about her; she is coming very close to discovering us. As far as I'm aware she thinks the Golden trio are responsible for them and wants to bring them to justice. She has been trying to track Harry and the others we don't know how close she is but everywhere they go she is normally there 12 hrs later at least."

"She has been through rigorous training and is considered one of their top agents. She has no family in the muggle world that we can find, and none here either. That's what makes her their best – she has nothing to loose." Explained Dawlish.

"Well someone needs to inform her of her abilities she should be given an opportunity to learn magic should she wish to do so" said Dumbledore

"Yes…well…I was thinking that she might be able to help Harry with his training and preparation for the final battle, she is the best they have then maybe we can benefit from her knowledge as she can benefit from ours"

"Well I guess it could work if both she and Harry were willing, so im guessing that you want me to be the one to them, of course the order would have to know about this as well."

"Yes I know I want the order to handle this. Until we have finished investigating everyone, I trust the order more than any team at the ministry the moment"

"I see well there is a meeting in half an hour, we will discuss this then and I shall keep you informed"

Order headquarters

The room sat in stunned silence – no one knew how this was possible, no body had ever slipped through the cracks before. How was it that this girl, the one who had been causing them so much grief these last few months making them have to work twice as hard – was actually a supposed to be a witch not to mention in the same year as the three people she was trying to track down. WOW

After and awkward silence it seemed like everyone found their voices at once.

"Albus what are we going to do"

"how did we not know about this"

"stupid corrupt ministry idiots"

"the poor dear"

Albus just closed his eyes and waited until everyone had settled down before he answered. "The reason Ms Brown slipped through is because for some unknown reason her name was not recorded in the Hogwarts Book of Students and since the ministry was corrupt and lacking of people who actually did their job – no one checked the book against the records at least for the last 15 years or if they did no one said anything. As you know since Dawlish became the Minster of Magic he has been slowly going through the entire ministry finding those who are corrupt, death eaters or just plain lazy. Last week they hired Mr Jones to go through the records and it was he who discovered this. As for what we are going to do about it, we are going to tell her what she is and offer to train her in exchange for her help in training Harry to fight the muggle way."

Hermione's hand shot into the air, even though she left school eight years ago, some things never change. "yes Hermione"

"but Dumbledore, do you think that is wise, she is the one who has been tracking us for the last year, she wants us stopped and jail, why would she want to help us"

"I am hoping that once she knows the truth, she will join us and things will work out. Now if that is all the questions, we need to come up with a way to contact her so that she will be willing meet up with myself and one other"

Two hours later and everything was set. A letter would be sent, claiming to have information on the Golden trio and say that they want to meet. Dumbledore would go with Lupin, Snape and McGonagall to meet with Amelia while other members of the order would be keeping an eye out for trouble. Hopefully by the end of the night Amelia would be here at Grimmauld Place and her training along with Harry's would begin tomorrow. With the meeting now over, people went their separate ways either to make preparations for tonight or home to bed. However the Golden trio were sitting in the lounge – waiting to meet the girl who had been following them for the last year.

Meanwhile in Manchester

She had just gone to bed and now her pager was going off. Amelia Brown rolled over and squashed it with a forceful hand, then glanced at the clock beside it 2am 'wonderful, not even half an hour of sleep'. Amelia was 25 and has been working with MI6 for the last five years. She quickly excelled through the ranks and now one of their best agents, which she quickly learnt results in her being very busy and getting very little sleep.

Bleary-eyed, she tried to find her shoes. They had been kicked off haphazardly when she collapsed on her bed. Her boss had promised her a weekend free of no call ins at all, but she didn't really mind, even though it had already been a 60 hr week, chasing the group called the Golden trio which still prove to be elusive, a page at this time of night could only mean one thing – something major had happened. Maybe the trio had been caught in the act, after all how many more people would disappear or wind up dead before they were caught. Her curiosity had gotten the better of her on numerous occasions and this was one of them. Once she was ready she picked up her pager and went to work with scenarios of what could have happened running through her head. She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the guy in shadows following her as she walked to HQ.

Chapter Two:

MI6 Headquarters

I walked into my office to find it exactly as I left it except for the and an envelope on my desk. This was normal procedure but something seemed different…wrong even, seriously wrong. Little did I know that my whole world was about to be turned upside down?
