Chapter 14

Snape couldn't believe this. How could someone send a broken man to that place. To finish the job, he thought darkly to himself. He closed the door and handed the letter to Gabriel.

"Read this." he said sitting in one of the chairs.

This was not good at all. James would never survive a day in the prison. Even if by some miracle he did, there were all the people who were there. Who would just love to get their hands on the Auror who put them there in the first place. He would be lucky to live for a week. Shacking his head he went to the liquor cabinet, he need something strong and he needed it know.

"I wouldn't do that now. We still have to speck to Harry."

Damn, he thought, closing the cabinet sadly. That drink would have to wait.

"Alright, what do you want to tell him? You are his father know."

"Not just yet." he had only recently sent the papers. He didn't want to saying anything just in case. He was have Lucius take care of everything

"Well, this letter says different." Severus pulled out another letter he had got when he was outside with Jasira. When he saw the ministry seal on it, he took a guess at what it was. And he was right, like always. Gabriel took the letter, could this be true. Opening the letter slowly he read it. It was true, Harry was know his son. He couldn't help the smile that came over his face. He now had them both, Rain and Harry.

"Okay, let's go get him." Severus walked to the door then thought of something. "Oh Crap"

"What?"

"I left Jasira out there." They both looked at each other then the door. Bracing themselves to what was on the other side of the door. Stepping out, they were surprised by what they saw. Harry sat holding Jasira while everyone looked on with shock writing all over their faces.

"Merope, is everything okay?"

"I don't know." she answered. "Ask your friend or the cheetah."

"Gabriel?" Rain looked to him hoping he could help in some way.

"Harry, could you and Jasira come with me, I wont to talk to you."

"Yes and Doxy you and I need to speak." Severus said. It would be better if she knew about Harry's relationship to her.

"Okay." Harry said shakily. He followed Gabriel and Rain in to the study, closing the door behind him. Doxy and Severus went outside to talk. This was not going to be easy to say either child but it need to be done.

Albus sat in the meeting room with Lily, waiting for the rest of the staff to show up. Everyone was going to be their to welcome their newest professor except Severus. He was in Spain with his coven and couldn't get a way. Albus allowed it because he would be able to get information on them. He knew they had Harry but he need proof before he brought it to the ministry. Not that he really need to but he would do things their way.

"Hello, everyone." he stood as they walked in.

"Albus." Professor McGonagall spoke first. She stopped dead with everyone behind her. "Lily?"

"Professor," she said. This was a high for her. Everyone would be looking at her. She would be the center of things, like always. "How are you?"

"You should be dead."

"Yes, if you would all come and sit, I can explained everything." Albus put in. Everyone did as they were told, like they were meant to. Albus put on his best grandfather face and began to tell people the story that would keep them on his side.

"We just felt that it would be better if Lily had stayed in hidden. But it seem that somehow, Tom's family found her."

"Oh, my" Poppy, the school nurse covered her mouth.

"Yes, and they also, took…. They took my… oh I can't say it" Lily covered her face with her hands. She had every looking on with sadness and concern. This was just to easy she thought. She almost smiled when she though about how she had wanted to grow up to be an muggle actress but this was so much better.

"They have Little Harry and are refusing to give him back. They are still going by what ever insanity voldermort had. I felt that it would be better to bring Lily out of hiding and maybe we would force those monsters to give back the child."

"Oh, that poor child, what he must be going thought with out his mother." Spout said with poppy nodded her agreement to the statement.

"So, what is she doing here."

"Lily will have to stay here for the time being but thankful the ministry is helping and she will be getting a new home and job with them."

"Oh, how wonderful." sprout smiled at the red head.

"Albus if I could interrupted, can I ask, where is James." Minerva finally spoke. She didn't really care to much about Lily, she never did but James and Harry were different.

"Oh, yes, This is very hard for me to say but James has become a another tragedy in out fight against the dark."

"What?" McGonagall couldn't believe this.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I know how much you liked the boy." McGonagall didn't say anything. She extremely sadden by the news. James was one of her favorite students even thought he drove her crazy half the time. She had only seen little Harry once, after his birth but she still wanted to protect the little baby form the harpy that was his mother.

"Is that Albus, I do need to get ready for the coming school year."

"Yes, you may go Minerva. I just want everyone to know so they wouldn't be alarmed."

"Fine." she got and left without a goodbye or look back. She would need to speak with Snape to know what was going on. She wanted to trusted Albus but lately she just couldn't find it in herself to do so.

Lily watched McGonagall leave. She didn't like that women, always looking down her nose at her. Always favoring James over her. Lily had wanted her job and have the old bat throw out on her ass but Albus said it wasn't a good idea. That she was a good ally to have. It didn't matter, she wouldn't have to deal with the women for too long. Soon she would be in her new home and doing the work she should have always been doing.

James followed behind the two Aurors to his new home. He did find it kind of funny that he use to be the boss of these two and now he was their prisoner. He looked up at imposing tower and took on last breath as the darkness started to crowed his vision. They had taken his glass form him so he sight wasn't good but he could still make out the Dementors. They were close and they already were taking what little happiness he had. He use the last of his strength to lock away his memories of Sirius, Jasira and Harry. They could have the rest but those he was going to fight to keep them. With that last thought he passed out for exhaustion.
