Little
**NO POV**
4 year old Mandela walked down the halls, searching for someone.
She saw a man with sandy brown hair and patched robes and waddled over to him from behind and immediately spoke.
"Escuse me sir, but I was wonderin' if you knew where went?"
He stared at her in confusion.
"Oh..Um—Yeah why?" He asked kneeling down to eye level with the little girl.
"Cause he promised he would come and finish our vegetables together but he still hasn't came back yet!" She said sadly.
He nodded, playing along. "And whats your name?"
"Mandela Riddle"…."Sir" She added quickly as his eyes widened with realization.
"Okay Mandela….what did '' say before he left?"
She thought for a moment.
Her eyes lit up and she grinned. "He said that he was going on a little trip with these two black cloaked skeleton things." She explained, proud in herself for remembering.
"Hmmm—do you know why he was taking a little trip?"
"Umm—He said that... Oh yeah! He said that Mr. Pettigrew did somfing (A/N: remember she's 4) and blamed it on him so now he has to go."
He frowned. "Do you know what Mr. Pettigrew did? It was something really bad."
She gasped dramatically. "HE DIDN'T EAT HIS VEGABLES!?!?!"
He chuckled. "No, much worse."
She put her little, yet long, thin fingers to her chin for a moment of thought and pursed her lips together.
For a moment she reminded him of Professor Mcgonagall (SPELLCHECK: I suck at Hogwarts Professor Names im sorry :|)
"He ate a crayon?" Mandrel guessed.
He chuckled even louder at how clueless she was.
"No, I believe not."
Mandrel frowned at her mistake.
"Come on kiddo, lets get you to your room." He picked her up and carried her to her room that was a couple doors away.
As they got to her door he set her down.
"Now you go get some rest." The suggestion seemed to please Mandrel because she nodded quickly and ran into her room.
A couple months later
Mandrel's POV
I finished my explanation about Sirius Black.
Madam Bones stared at me and sighed.
"And that's it?" she pushed.
"Yes ma'am." I responded with my confidence showing through the waves of sound I produced from my mouth.
"Okay, , you may leave to your orphanage now."
"Wait." I walked over to her platform.
She looked puzzled but showed that she was listening.
"May I shake your hand, Madam Bones?" I asked politely.
Everybody chuckled throughout the courtroom, including Professor Snape.
"Umm- Sure" She answered standing before me holding out her old hand.
I grabbed the hand firmly and shook it with pride and spoke.
"Thank you for listening."
I turned to Mr. Lupin and walked over walked over to him.
"Lets go" and grabbed his hand while dragging him out behind me.
