So, in this chapter as promised you will learn what happened to the Dursleys.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy, and please leave a review.

Friday, 6th of June

Henri awoke to the sound of an Owl knocking on her window. She let the unassuming grey barn owl in and took the letter from Mycroft and the muggle-newspaper it carried. The letter was more of a note, only saying "Enjoy."

Anxiously she opened the paper, already anticipating the article about the Dursley's. She wasn't disappointed.

The article painted the picture of a little girl that went to her mother's sister after her parents dead. How instead of receiving love and care, the little girl only got resentment and hatred from her aunt. How showed how she was made to sleep under the cupboard under the stairs, whilst their own child had two bedrooms and another guestroom, without the authorities ever showing up even once. How she was made to clean and cook. The medias named it a case of modern slavery.

They talked about the blood in the cupboard and how Vernon regularly hit her. How she had written "Henri's room" on the inside.

Then the article went over towards the neighbors. How they never questioned it when the Dursleys spread vicious rumors about how disturbed she was, a thieve and an unthankful liar. How they never questioned it when she was made to weed the garden in the biggest heat or when she was shoved out the house on Christmas in barely any clothes and out in the snow, so she wouldn't disturb the family. How they never wondered why she was sickly thin when her cousin was obesity fat.

The piece then turned over to her teachers, how they didn't even know or notice that she had been in fact a girl, not a boy. How they believed the Dursleys when they told the teachers she was lazy and stupid and cheating from Dudley. How they never questioned how she could cheat from Dudley when Dudley's grades were much worse. How they never asked her about the various bruises she got at home, and how they dismissed her words as lies the one time she had chosen to speak up and say the truth about the Dursleys. She still remembered that one time well. It had taken her all her courage, to go to a teacher and tell him about the beatings, but he had only called her relatives and Vernon had taken her home. The following beating had nearly killed her, and she hadn't gone to school for a over a month afterwards.

The article speculated a bit about the treatment she had received, it's extend and it's lasting effect on both her as well as Dudley, who saw in immediate vicinity her treatment at hand of his parents, and even got rewarded when he harmed her.

Finally it went to Sirius, her godfather and an ex-convict. How Vernon had practically sold her, and how lucky she had been that she had been taken away by a person that really cared for her.

The article was painting a modern, tragic fairytale with an unexpected, but happy ending.

The article ended with a note that all statements could be read in the internet.

Satisfied, Henri closed the paper. Sherlock had done good work with both The police and the press.

Now it was only to convict Albus Dumbledore of his crimes. That man had destroyed so many lives.

Henri stood up, dressed and went to eat breakfast. She had some things to do still before the ball tonight. She didn't have a present yet, but she knew the Black library at least contained many rare tomes. And this time around there was no Molly Weasley who burned everything she perceived as 'dark'. If she didn't find a suitable present here, she could always look at Gringotts, or maybe at another property before tonight.

She really found several books she knew Draco would have liked, but she knew at least two of them Draco would have read already, simply because they existed in the Hogwarts library as well, and there was a go chance the Malfoys possessed them as well.

Henri apparates to Diagon Alley. She first went to Twilfit a Tattling. She still needed a dress as well, and here they would tailor it to her tastes. She let the dress be made in the blue-grey Holmes color, with big, deep purple and black stitching covering most of the cloth and black accents and edgings.

The floor-length, silken gown would emphasize her belonging to both the Black and the Holmes family.

Afterwards she went to Gringotts and asked to be taken to her Slytherin vault. And really, it didn't take her very long to find the perfect birthday present for Draco. It was a book, written by Salazar Slytherin himself about the use of different ingredients of Snakes, like scales, skin, venom, teeth and blood and of the effects of different Species.

Content, she left the building and went to get lunch. She wondered just how many people would give Draco a present he both wanted and had difficulty to get himself, and how many would give him just something.
