Here's the next chapter hope you like it. Please read and review, thanks love Angel x

Stepping over to her drawer she requested some tea and had a glass of brandy ready should she need it. Both of the vials were labelled either Harry or Neville. She decided to look at Neville's last. She was a bit scared of viewing these memories after all that Lolly had said to her. Who knew what she'd see. Once her tea arrived she asked to be left alone for the next hour. She sealed her door shut and used silencing charms so she could scream if she needed to without alerting everyone to what she was doing. Taking a deep breath she placed her face into her pensive. She came upon their dining room and she noticed how they all drank their tea until it was gone. As their eyes became glossed over she'd know the signs of veritas serum anywhere. She wondered what Harry and Neville would be doing this for. However as the questions started she could firmly see why.

Hmm this is interesting. I understand how annoying it can be when someone won't ever stand up for themselves however maybe they simply can't. Lily shouldn't have abandoned Severus like that. I can't believe Dumbledore made her marry someone she didn't even want to. I wonder who she did love.

She moved on in the memory seeing that much to her own surprise Lily had never wanted children but Dumbledore forced her to have one. This was a great surprise. She gasped when Remus Lupin was mentioned. Here she paused the memory sending for him. He was over in his office settling in when he got her urgent patronus and left immediately.

"Ah yes Remus old friend come in please and have a seat as I have something shocking to tell you and you may need to be sitting for this. I also have a favour to ask of you. Now firstly I received a set of memories from Harry and then some from Neville. These memories were so bad it prompted both boys to go to Monte Carlo in order to get a break. Would you watch them with me in case they get too shocking?" she asked him as he looked at her in surprise.

"Indeed Augusta I will watch them with you. Don't worry with me here you'll be fine because I'll look after you should they get too harrowing. Now what was the second thing you had to tell me?" he asked her as he took his seat.

"Well last night Lillian Marie and James Charlus Potter returned from the dead. They told us that they were never meant to die and so the angels in heaven had only gotten around to sending them back now as the list of people looking to come back was a long one. We tested them with veritas serum as they asked us to and we determined they were indeed who they said they were. Now I need you view this memory as it pertains to you and is shocking to say the least!" she said as he gasped in shock. She first showed him her memory of that encounter so he'd know it was true.

"Indeed I can see that you are telling me the truth. This is so shocking. Well at least they apologised to Snape. I have always regretted that they didn't do that while alive the last time. I never did anything to him because despite what I actually thought of him I knew it was wrong to do so. Let's watch these memories!" he said looking as though he might faint if ever actually saw them.

They looked into the memories which she had started again and he soon realised why they had given everyone veritas serum. He was absolutely floored about Lily's confession about him. He had never realised that she or anyone else would be even capable of feeling such things for him. He too was annoyed Dumbledore had stopped her from loving him as although he didn't return the feelings it was still wrong to stop how someone was feeling about someone. He jumped as the memory moved on and he saw James threatening Harry or anyone basically who ever said anything about Dumbledore.

"This is insane! I mean I knew he liked Dumbledore, who didn't back then? But this is insane and to go as far as to say you'd kill your own son should he say something against the man is ridiculous. Since his trial I see Dumbledore in totally new light and so should he if he knew all he'd done. However I fear that even if he did know this it would not ever change his opinion on the man. He always was stubborn however an asshole he wasn't when it came to this kind of thing. His time away has clearly soured his mind greatly!" he fumed slamming his fist down on the table in rage.

"I agree this is preposterous however viewing more of the memory might show us exactly why he feels the way he does. For some strange reason I have a hunch he doesn't feel that way all on his own" she replied seriously. They came out of those set of memories with Remus crying.

"I never realised they were forced to love one another by Dumbledore. This even clearly shows they don't care less about themselves or Harry if truth be told. I promise you now Augusta I will be there for him all throughout his and indeed Neville's lives no matter what. I will be like the father he never had or got either! I will love this boy and show him that he is at least wanted and loved by someone if not his parents. We'll have to do something about this though as I don't feel it can go unpunished. I feel we may need to do some punishing also depending on what Neville's memories show us!" he said clearly shocked.

"Thank you so much Remus. This means so much to me. I know Harry already looks to you as a father figure after reading his mothers' old journal on you as he told me this before. In fact he asked why you couldn't have been his real dad but this was of course before they came back. Brace yourself as we need to view Neville's memories now and I'm guessing he'll have asked Alley and Frankie some things he won't like the answer to!" she said as she poured the memory into the pensive and held his hand for a moment seeking comfort from him.

Augusta looked horrified that all her son was saying. She was now crying heavily. "Oh son didn't you ever know you could have come to me if you had no money and I would have aided you. What Dumbledore has done since is disgusting and I find my sons blatant blind loyalty to the man even more disgusting. Anyone who is so stupid that they blindly follow someone whether they know what they've done or not is a disgrace!" she fumed as she wiped at her tears angrily.

"Augusta that is tough to watch and poor Neville looks utterly crestfallen. I can't even believe I just heard what I did hear! This is so shocking!" he said while hugging her close in awe. They watched the memory more as Augusta summoned a bucket to vomit in.

"Dear god he poisoned people! And all because Dumbledore asked him to in return for what he'd given him!" she said laughing suddenly catching Remus' eye. "I interviewed Lucius yesterday and he was all over himself like a rash. This completely explains why. That is actually very funny indeed" she said still giggling slightly.

"I can see how that would be funny. Lucius Malfoy was always an asshole so he deserves it but Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood did not deserve it. As Harry just said he wasn't poisoned after having Dobby tell them whether he was or not this unfortunately means he was coming up with those ideas all on his own. This too means he actually seriously believes all he is saying with gusto" said Remus seriously. Augusta nodded her head in agreement. "You are of course right indeed and he is a disgrace! His ignorance will be punished as blood or not he can't be allowed to get away with this. He should perish for his crimes! Son or not I am not biased like so many here before me!" She said sincerely.

They both jumped as he declared that Dumbledore was sick of doing everything for everyone and deserved a break. They both shed tears when Neville was told he wasn't Frank's son because he tries to say he killed Voldermort when Frank himself said it was Dumbledore. "Ok Frankie boy you're going down! Enough is enough. You didn't have to raise Neville all his life I did and I'll be damned if you're going to ruin it for him!" she snapped in rage.

"Oh Augusta I'm so sorry. I promise that together we can insure Neville always feels loved and secure" said Remus soothingly. Why he'd never gone into counselling as a profession she'd never understand as he had succeeded in calming her down totally for the moment. They saw Alice saying she had wanted Carlos Zabini but refrained as she wasn't sure about him what with him not being a death eater. The fact that she knew Frank would always idolise Dumbledore above her and still settled for him anyway was a startling fact. They had both thought Alice had more sense than that.

"I cannot believe Alice believed that garbage and aborted my granddaughter! And all because of what that old idiot told her. There never was a prophecy on my family. I know because I checked there the other day as I'd always wanted to know if we ever had a prophecy here in the department of mysteries. There was not now nor was there ever ay prophecies made on any of us. He lied getting her to abort her daughter for no good reason at all just because he'd felt like it. I mean once you wrapped something up with the 'oh it came from Voldermort' title it would seem no one ever questioned anything after that! I mean the outrage to actually tell Neville that had he been a girl he'd have been aborted too is disgraceful beyond measure. I know she was under veritas serum but there are some things that you just don't ever say no matter what. She will rule the day she ever fucked with a Longbottom. She may have met Frank but she has yet to Mean Augusta Mary Longbottom and trust me once she does she'll regret everything she ever did the stupid bitch" she fumed balling her fists and smacking them against the table in rage.

"That is the worst thing I've ever heard anyone say. I mean my parents always resented me for what I am. You know what I received a cake from Harry I forgot to eat it. I'll eat it just now!" he said taking out the cupcake and eating it. In actuality it had been charmed so he'd only eat it in her presence as Harry wanted Augusta to see whether Remus stopped being a werewolf at this instance. He consumed the whole cake before screaming and passing out. She hopped into the floo with him bringing him to St Mungos. "I need help this man passed out in my office and I don't know why!" she said as a mediwitch rushed over.

"Ma'am I'm going to need to take some blood for a blood test on him to see what's wrong but I need your consent to do so!" she said Augusta gave her consent and the blood was drawn and taken away as he came too. "What happened to me?" he asked as Augusta noticed he now looked years younger and extremely healthy. Did he have more muscle too? "You passed out in my office and so I brought you hospital. I have given my consent for them to run blood tests on you and they are doing that to determine why you collapsed" she answered him seriously. He became pale as a sheet then. Would they find out what he was? Would he be condemned? Oh dear lord.

The Mediwitch came back smiling. "Hello there handsome good to see your awake. We tested your blood and know not why you passed out as your blood was clear. In fact it was the healthiest blood we've seen in years!" she said as he fainted. When he came to again he was shocked to the core. "Do you mean there was no creature blood in there or anything at all wrong with it?" he asked now hoarse. "I do indeed sir you my good man are clean as a whistle. Please take this iron potion as you sorely need it. It should make you feel better. Afterwards eat this toast, wait twenty minutes and then you may leave ok?" she asked him which he responded that he would indeed do that.

"Augusta I am cured can you believe that!? Oh I owe Harry my life and I shall never forget what he's done for me as long as I live. He will have the best life. I will make sure of it!" he vowed as she too cried when he was free of his ailment! "Remus this is amazing. Well done and congratulations. Come on let's go back!" she said as they waited until the twenty minutes was over. When it was they went back again. She summoned Amelia Bones to her office.

"Madam Longbottom you called for me?" she asked politely. "Amelia I did indeed. I've realised we've not registered Minister Lupin's blood in our system and I'd like to do that now so it's not forgotten!" she instructed.

"Well we all know he's a werewolf but yes I will register it. Hold out your arm please. This will only still for a moment!" she said as his blood registered in the employment database. "Well I'll be damned you're not even a werewolf. Whoever told us you were should be shot for telling lies to everyone. Have a great day you two. Minister Lupin you're needed in your department for a departmental briefing. I just said I'd tell you as I was leaving!" said Amelia leaving with him in tow. Augusta sat down at her desk and drinking the brandy in one go. She was glad Remus was cured, her own family however were another thing altogether and she would have to prosecute them both when the time for that came!
