Chapter 3

Stunned silence filled the room as they looked between the two Gibbs' .

"Is this true Boss?" Tony asked his eyes wide.

"Yea it's true Sara is my younger daughter I also have a nephew Sara's brother Harry." The team gaped at him as he calmly rooted in his desk for his gun badge and a NCIS ball cap for Sara.

On the ride to the crime scene Tony sat behind Sara and began to poke her arm to see if she was real after about ten minutes of it Sara finally snapped.

" DiNozzo if you don't stop poking me I'm gonna take your finger off." Tony nodded as Gibbs chuckled to himself. They were in the Charger while Tim and Kate followed in the equipment truck.

"You even sounded like him, where have you been all this time?" Sara let go of Tonys finger and turned back around in her seat.

"In England, Surrey to be precise, my brother and I live with our Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon and our cousin Dudley."

"Who names their kid Dudley? And how come your here all of a sudden?" Gibbs' hands tightened on the wheel as Sara answered.

"It was my mums wish that my brother and I come here to live with dad, but her wishes were ignored and we were sent to live with Petunia the story is complicated and not one I want to get into right now." Tony let it go at the finality in her tone just as they heard a phone ringing.

"Hullo this is Sara." Sara listened for a moment then smiled.

"Yes I can hear you just fine Ron. The reason I got them is so that when we are running for our lives we can track each other." Tony and Gibbs glanced at each other through the rear view Gibbs was going to have a talk with his daughter later.

"Ron remember the platform incident oh and how about Aragog and Quirell and that bloody damn snake too?" Gibbs definitely needed to talk to his daughter later.

"Ok I have to go have Hermione go over Skype with you later my contact information is saved on your computer in Microsoft word. I'll turn mine on when I get back to the hotel…ok that's fine brilliant talk to you later."

Sara looked over at Gibbs nervously just realizing she had let some things slip.

"I just realized we haven't talked about school yet have we?"

"No Sara we haven't but we will once we pick up your things from the hotel, you're staying with me." Sara nodded and smiled a little while Gibbs reached over and batted the bill of her cap down over her eyes, grumbling good naturedly she fixed the cap and set her eyes on the massive amount of steps they had to walk up as they pulled up in front of the Memorial.

Tony walked over to Kate and Tim, they looked at him wondering whether he had gotten anymore information about Sara.

"So Tony what's Gibbs' daughter like?" Kate asked.

"Kinda strange her friend called her and she started talking about running for their lives and a person called Aragog and someone named Quirell and a platform of some kind and a snake. She's a lot like Gibbs, though she threatened to break my finger when I kept poking her and she has his stare down." They took their equipment out and began walking up the stairs.

"She said she and her brother were living with an aunt uncle and cousin she doesn't seem to like them much."

"You wouldn't like them either DiNozzo if you were in my shoes." Came the soft English accented voice behind him. Tony tensed as he felt his boss smack the back of his head.

"Alright get to work DiNozzo photos McGee bag and tag Kate talk to the witnesses and Gibbs…" he looked at Sara with a faint smirk. "You're with me."

The crime scene was processed quickly the only sticky note in it was that Sara had figured out that Ducky their M.E was a wizard. She had seen the recognition in his eyes when he saw her scar under her bangs, but Ducky tactfully hadn't said anything and they got to work. Sara loved the whole process and was really thinking of getting a job with NCIS after Hogwarts. Sara shadowed her dad and grinned when the LEOs as Gibbs called them stumbled over their explanations in terror and eyed her apprehensively when they heard her name as if a mini- Gibbs was cause for massive amounts of terror.

Gibbs turned when he heard a male English accented voice bluster loudly that he was an important man and had no time to wait. He frowned in worry hoping it wasn't someone who knew Sara he had sent his daughter to interview some of the children to help Kate out. He saw a large man with ad walrus mustache a thin horse faced woman clutching the arm of a boy that was the miniature of his father yelling at Kate. Gibbs turned to check on Sara who had been near Kate, and found her standing stiffly in front of the child she had been interviewing as though to protect the little girl from the big mans wrath, her face incredibly pale and her jade eyes wide with a kind of horrified terror as she stared at the trio. Gibbs immediately signaled Tony and Tim to stand in front of him and Sara as he pulled her away to talk to him.

"Hey Sara you ok?"

"That's Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia and Dudley, I didn't know they'd be here too." She whispered her lips trembling as she struggled to focus on her dad. Gibbs turned anger flashing in his icy eyes he gritted his teeth as Vernon kept carrying on about how he couldn't possibly be detained to talk about that horrid murder and how he was an important person and how he didn't want his family caught up in the sordid mess.
"If you don't want to talk here you can come to the Navy Yard and give us your statements that way you can be done faster." Gibbs said interrupting the man in his tirade.

Vernon Dursely did not like how the silver haired man was looking at him like he was a piece of meat about to be ripped apart by a predator.

"Fine but it really mustn't take up any more of my time I have meetings to attend." They all agreed and made their way back to the Navy Yard Gibbs and Sara taking a quick Detour to get Sara's luggage from her hotel so that she could do her homework in the bull pen.

Sara, Tony, Tim, and Kate sat in the bull pen baby sitting Dudley while Gibbs talked to Vernon and Petunia. Dudley quickly becoming bored went over to Gibbs' desk where Sara was doing homework and began to pester her.

"Hey, I'm Dudley."

"Sara."

"Huh that's my freaky cousins' name. Hey you're English!" Tony Kate and Tim looked up at that exchanging worried looks it seemed Dudley didn't realize his cousin was sitting right in front of him Sara rolled her eyes under the brim of her cap.

"Why do you call her that? Seems rotten." Dudley rolled his eyes.

"You don't know her, she and her brother are freaks. They have owls as pets and go to a freaky school in Scotland, though we just tell the neighborhood they go to St. Brutus' secure centre for criminal boys and girls."

Tony began to record the conversation he figured it would help Gibbs in his quest for custody of Sara and her brother.

"I would think having an owl would be cool." Dudley shrugged.

"We also get two hundred thousand pounds a month from the fortune their parents left them for their upkeep, but mum and dad don't want to waste money like that on no good layabout freaks like them. It's a good thing too 'cause I get everything I want and they get to wear my old castoffs, though they stole my second bedroom."

Tony and Tim were pale and a little green around the gills Kate had her hand over her mouth she couldn't believe what was being said and Tim could see a muscle ticking in Sara's jaw just like where her dads.

"What do you mean they stole your "second bedroom"?

"They used to live in the cupboard under the stairs. Then when they started that freak school mum and dad put them in my second bedroom and put bars on the window and locks on the door so they couldn't write to anyone at that school last year when they got back for the summer. Dad also put padlocks on their owls cages so they couldn't get out. Stupid birds always made to much noise I think dad wanted to kill them." Kate made a soft choked sound and started to tremble Sara glanced at her reassuringly.

"My cousins also do all the house work and the cooking and the yard work and if they don't they get the belt and are thrown into the cupboard with out food, sometimes for days if dad is really mad." Dudley said superiorly smirking as though hitting two kids with a belt and throwing them into a cupboard without food for days on end was normal. Sara nodded still concentrating on her work though she had stopped reading what the book said when Dudley started talking.

"So we have neglect, abuse, starvation, false imprisonment, theft, and animal abuse and neglect anything else or is that it?"
Dudley stared at her his mouth hanging open stupidly he blinked his piggy eyes like he couldn't figure out what Sara had just said.

"You got all that DiNozzo?" Sara asked.

"Yes boss." Tony tried to grin at her.

"Really Dinky diddikins you should check to make sure the person you're talking to isn't the person you're talking about. Tony smirked at Tim at the name Dinky diddikins as Sara took off her cap and shoved her bangs out of the way of her scar.

"Y….you! what are you doing here Freak when dad finds out he'll let you have it he will."

Sara gave Dudley a fake pout a rather cold gleam filling her

eyes.

"Sorry Duddykins, but I'm here to reconnect with my dad, your dad wont be able to touch me or Harry anymore since we wont be living with you."

"You don't have a dad he got blown up with your stupid mum by that psycho years ago that's why we got stuck with you and your brother." Sara grabbed Dudley's collar and pulled him so that his face was inches from her own she saw the flash of terror in his eyes as she growled.

"Don't you dare talk about my mother she sacrificed herself so that Harry and I could live when Tom Riddle went after her and my stepdad." Sara shoved Dudley away from her so hard he stumbled and nearly fell.

"But thanks for telling me how much you and your parents have been stealing from Harry and I over the years it'll be easier for the bank officials to get it back plus interest when I write to them." Dudley gaped and started shaking stuttering about how she couldn't do anything to his parents.

When Gibbs' desk phone rang Sara reached over to answer it.

"Special Agent Gibbs' phone this is Sara Gibbs." Sara listened for a moment then said.

"Ok could you put it on speaker I know that owl. Thanks, hey Shadowwing let the guard bring you up to me and be nice." Sara smiled a little thinking what perfect timing Shadowwings arrival was.

The guard brought Shadowwing up looking a bit freaked out that he was carrying the huge amber eyed owl. When Shadowwing saw Sara he took flight and landed on her shoulder hooting softly. Sara scribbled out a quick note to Griphook and folded it before gently placing her owl onto the desk so that she could tie the letter to his leg.

"I know you just got here, Shadow but I need you to take this to Harry he'll know what to do with it, and when you've rested and I mean rest Shadow you have a bad habit of pushing yourself to exhaustion you can come back." Shadowwing gave her a rather droll look as though he were saying "yeah yeah I know". Shadowwing flew back to the startled guard and the man left taking the owl with him.

Sara grinned at Tony Tim and Kate as they stared at her.

"Owls are pretty useful you can give them messages to carry if you train them right."

"You talk to your owl like a person?"

"Owls are smart and when it's the only other thing in the house beside your brother that doesn't hate you for simply existing you start talking to it."

Tony had to acknowledge that sounded reasonable though he couldn't wrap his head around how someone could hate another person for existing especially if they were blood family.

Gibbs sat staring at the huge man that had been tormenting his daughter and nephew for thirteen years. Vernon shifted nervously in his chair wondering why this man was staring at him.

"Look I haven't done anything wrong my family witnessed a murder for goodness sake my son is probably traumatized." Gibbs just raised an eye brow he had already gotten Vernon and Petunia's statements he now wanted to talk to Vernon about Sara and Harry.

"I actually wanted to speak to you about your niece and nephew."

Vernon's eyes grew wide.

"I have no niece and nephew named Harry and Sara." Gibbs gave a predators grin his eyes like two chips of ice.

"I never said anything about their names now did I?"
