Mad-Eye

Fudge is being, surprising, rather stubborn and to make matters worse Snape has arrived with Albus before you got there and has already convinced him to bring the dementors straight over. Although I doubt Corneilius put up too much fight.

Albus does seem to want to see Sirius but not enough to actuall fight for it.

You notice a lapse in the conversation and jump in.

"You can't take dementors into someones home. And it will be awful publicity if he turns out to be innocent and you've already had him kissed." There that ought to get him.

"Well, I, uh, that is to say."

"Maybe we should go and see what Black has to say Cornielius." Ah Albus; always the diplomat.

"Well I suppose, Dumbledore if you think that it's the best option." Snape scowls.

"I do. Lead the way Alastor." You do so – calmly while smirking at Fudge. The only good thing that came from retirement was not having to have meetings with the fool.

You come through the floo to find Tonks and Weasley chatting and the others standing around awkwardly. Sirius is still missing. The cage holding Pettigrew is sitting on a box Nymphadora has as a substitute for a coffee table. The others come soon straight after you: Dumbledore greeted everyone pleasently, Snape sneered – mainly at Potter and Lupin and Fudge tried to look importent.

"Oh, uh" Nymphadora makes to get up but trips and stumbles into Lupin who sets her straight. She blushes slightly and murmers her thanks. "Would you like a drink anyone? Tea, coffee?"

Albus is the only one to respond, "A cup of tea would be lovely Nymphadora." She grimaces at the name but doesn't bother to correct him.

"I'll get it – you're more of a part of this." Charlie leaves. You see Potter mutter something to Lupin that makes Lupin look worried and leave the room.


Not much to say here. The next chapter should be up on Thursday.
