Chapter 21.
Harry and Hermione walked back into Madame Malkins with Remus and Tonks. As they walked in, Madame Malkin was just finishing the embroidery on both Harry's blazer. Madame Malkin turned and seeing who came through the door said. "Ah, welcome back all of you, Lord Potter I just finished your blazer."
Madame Malkin pulled the blazer off the manikin and handed it to Harry. It was black and the embroidery was done in silver, both crests on each side of the blazer. Harry slipped the blazer on and it fit him well, he looked at himself in the mirror, "it's brilliant Madame Malkin, thank you."
Madame Malkin pulled a blazer off another manikin and this time handed it to Hermione and it had the Potter crest on the front. Hermione slipped on her blazer and looked at hers and Harry's, both were well crafted. Harry paid for them along with the other items and they left.
Remus and Tonks, side-along apparated Harry and Hermione to the Ministry of Magic. The place was crowded and Remus turned to Harry and Hermione. "Stay close, you dont want to get lost here or worse. Remember Lucius Malfoy is a member of the Wizengamot."
Harry and Hermione nodded and Tonks led them into an elevator, the doors closed. They travelled downward and the doors opened to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Harry and Hermione saw many different Aurors, at work some escorting wizards in cuffs to another room.
One Auror walked up to them, his hair white and he had a stern look to him. He looked at Tonks "Auror Tonks, exactly why did you bring a known werewolf and children into this department?"
Tonks rolled her eyes, "shut it Yaxley, you know I don't answer to you, these children as you call them are Lord Potter-Black and Lady Potter. As for the werewolf, he's an old friend of Madame Bones, so step aside."
Yaxley glared at Tonks, "that is no way to speak to your superior and these children can't be, Lord and Lady Potter. They died, as well as that no good convict Sirius Black." Harry glared at Yaxley, Yaxley looked at the boy. "What's your problem boy?"
Harry looked at Yaxley and revealed his rings, "My name isn't boy, it's Lord Potter-Black, son of James Potter and Sirius Black's Heir, and," Harry pointed at Hermione, "the Woman to my right is Hermione Potter, my bond mate and Lady Potter." Yaxley paled ,seeing the family crests and rings Harry was wearing. Harry looked at Yaxley and spoke in a cold tone, "stand down and return to your work. If I so much as hear you speak ill of my godfather Lord Black again, I'll personally see to it you get demoted. Am I making myself clear?"
Yaxley muttered "Clear."
Hermione liked seeing Harry taking charge, she liked it a lot. Tonks smiled seeing Yaxley shut his gob. They got to the head of the department's office and Tonks knocked on the door. "Enter," came the reply, Tonks opened the door and they walked in. They saw a woman busy at work at her desk, going through paperwork.
Tonks looked at the woman, "Madame Bones, Lord Potter-Black and Lady Potter."
Madame Bones looked up to see Harry and she lowered her quill. She slowly got up from her desk, "well I'll be, Harry Potter or I should say Lord Potter. I must say you have grown, you look so much like your father, well except they eyes." Harry smiled, "yeah I have my mother's eye's from what I'm told."
"Right, so what brings you to the DMLE?"
Harry pulled out the ledger that held the copy of his parent's will, "I recently discovered a few things that were withheld from me. One being that my parent's named you to be my godmother."
Madame Bones looked shocked and opened the ledger and put on her glasses. She read the Potter will carefully, then looked at Harry shocked. "Your mother asked me if I would be your godmother and I was honored to accept specially after Sirius agreed to being the Godfather before he betrayed them."
Harry looked at Madame Bones "Madame Bones, Sirius didn't betray them it was Peter Pettigrew. Remus and I can confirm my godfather's innocence, if you will just hear us out."
Madame Bones nodded and walked up to the door and opened the door. "Yaxley hold my messages." Madame Bones closed the door, "very well you have my undivided attention."
Harry and Remus told Madame Bones everything about Peter Pettigrew being alive and how Sirius was falsely imprisoned. Madame Bones looked at Harry and Remus, "if what you say is true, there should have been a note of his trial. All trials are to be logged," Madame Bones looked at Tonks, "Auror Tonks, go to the archives and bring me the logs from Oct 31st. 1981."
Tonks saluted then ran out of the office. Hermione looked at Madame Bones, "we have also other business as well. My husband found out his parent's will was sealed, which would be the reason why you didn't know about your status as his Godmother. Also, someone is stealing from his vault."
"Who would dare steal from the vault of a most ancient and most noble family?"
Harry looked at Madame Bones, "Albus Dumbledore."
"The Headmaster, Grand Sorcerer, Supreme Mugwump and the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, that Dumbledore? Lady Potter, do you know how serious these accusations are?"
"Yes I do Madame Bones, we also found it was his seal on the will as well as seals on our magic."
Madame Bones looked at Hermione and Harry, "seals on magic are very dangerous, they are to be lifted by the time student's enter their first year. If the seal remains too long, it can affect the growth of one's magic or worse."
Hermione looked at Madame Bones, "worse?"
"Worst case if the seal isn't done properly, they can develop an Obscurus."
Hermione gasped and Harry looked at Hermione and she at him. "An Obscurus is dangerous, when someone is consciously suppressing their magic, their magic will lash out leaving disaster in its wake. It's said an Obscurial won't survive their tenth birthday."
Harry paled and Madame Bones sighed, "anything else?"
Hermione looked at Madame Bones. "Dumbledore tampered with our memories, making us forget specific details about our past."
Madame Bones looked at Hermione. "these are serious offences, with Dumbledore's titles it will be hard to pin it to him, it will take time and evidence. If what your saying is true, Dumbledore isn't as light as we thought."
Hermione nodded "It was also Dumbledore who placed my husband with his awful relatives."
Amelia sighed "That I didn't know. I knew about Vernon Dursley due to the charges and how he threatened to expose the magical world to muggles and he was dealt with."
"What did you do?" Hermione said concerned as was Harry.
"We placed Vernon Dursley in the lowest levels of Azkaban for his crimes. I'm sorry Lord Potter but I know about the abuse as well. If your mother was still here she would have torn him to shreds. She was brilliant, but sometimes scary when someone she cared about was threatened."
Remus nodded. Harry sat in a chair his mind spinning, the monster who abused him was now in the lowest levels of Azkaban. Hermione saw Harry and could feel through their bond what was going on in his head. She hugged him and whispered soothing thoughts through their link.
Tonks walked in, "there wasn't anything there."
Madame Bones looked at Tonks shocked, "what do you mean, there wasn't anything there?"
