Who Do You Fight For

by AndrearoseR

On October 31st, 1982 Amelia Bones celebrated the 1-year anniversary of the Boy-Who-Lived along with the rest of the Wizarding World. On November 1st, 1982, she received a letter letting her know it was all a lie. Who did the letter come from and what did they mean there is a difference between the Greater Good and what is right. Will Amelia be able to do what they request of her.

1. Chapter 1

Hello Everyone, so let me explain why I am starting a new story. If you have read my two other prominent works, "Muggle-Born Adoption, and Pure-Blood Daughter," you know that my family and I are going through a lot right now. I must admit I cannot work on those two stories as I feel like they are connected to my father. It's like they need to stay in limbo while my father is in Medical Limbo, I don't even know if it makes sense, but for anything I was working on during the time my father's health went south, I just can't touch. I don't know why; I'm not a doctor, but it's like a Mental Grief Block.

I want to thank everyone who has sent words of encouragement, and I want you guys to know I still have the outline for Muggle-Born Adoption and Pure-Blood Daughter. They will not be abandoned.

I have found that I can work on new projects. So please see this new story I have been working on. I have a few chapters written, so I will be updating every week or two weeks, depending on how busy life gets.

Thank you again for all the support!

November 1st, 1982

Amelia Bones sat back at her desk, staring at the letter and the wrapped package. The contents of the letter rocked her to her magical core. A part of her, hoped and prayed that this was some sick joke, but the investigator in her new whoever wrote this letter told the truth. And the fact itself scared her. The timing of it all was perfect, so to say.

Yesterday was the 1st anniversary of The Potter's death and Harry Potter becoming the boy who lived. It's also been a year since anyone had seen the young boy due to Dumbledore's assurances that he was safe.

She picked up the letter once more and read, checking to see if she overlooked any important details the first time.

Dear Ms. Bones,

I write this letter to inform you that I am a friend, but I cannot yet reveal my identity. One year after the wizarding world, was seemingly saved from he who must not be named. I write to tell you that this is a lie. He is not gone. Not in the sense the ministry has so wrongfully, if not gleefully admitted. Ms. Bones, do you know what a Horcrux is? I would suggest someone who has only done what is right would never look into this type of magic. It is a dark piece of magic that should not exist, something that is a blight itself against magic. a Horcrux holds a portion of the caster's soul so that the caster may be immortal like. This was his greatest goal; his biggest fear was death. As proof I know what I'm talking about, in the package that I have attached to this letter, the Journal, is a Horcrux, I will not tell you who it was stolen from, but I can tell you where to find others.

I want to reaffirm that while I cannot reveal my identity, my allegiance is to the downfall of he who must not be named and the righting of great wrongs spearheaded by someone you know who believes in the Greater Good, not what is right. I will not name that person yet until I know you believe what I write.

To learn how to kill a Horcrux, you need to trust the Goblins of Gringotts. As much as the British Wizarding World would like to believe they are above all other magical creatures, there is a lot we do not know. A Horcrux cannot be killed by just any means; it must be destroyed in the ceremony that only a Goblin can perform to ensure the dark magic does not corrupt the rest of magic. Once you inform the Goblins about a Horcrux, they will be duty-bound to search and destroy all others, and only they have the magic to do so. I will state there is a wizard alive right now who knows the existence of these Horcruxes. I know this Wizard is aware that Goblins can aid in this fight, but due to their astonishing hubris and their fight for their Greater Good, they refuse to use methods in which they will not receive the glory. Goblins will ensure the existence of these Horcruxes will never reach public knowledge, thus there will be no glory to have.

Here is the list of the Horcruxes and their locations that I promised; I believe he has only created 5 before that fateful night in Godric's Hollow but I only know where three others are located, besides the Journal now in your possession.

Slytherin's Locket - Grimmauld Place, the house-elf Kreacher was tasked by his master to destroy it, but he is not powerful enough.

Hufflepuff's Cup - located in Bellatrix Lestrange's vault, the goblins will be extremely disappointed to know they were housing a dark object.

A Ring that belongs to Slytherin - located in the ruins of the Gaunt household.

I do wish that I could reveal the last location, but I am not aware of where he hid it.

Now I know that once you take this Journal to Gringotts and confirmed my story and confirmed the other Horcruxes' information, you will be more willing to address my next request, Sirius Black.

I believe that Sirius Black is innocent. He undertook the Godfather oath for young Harry Potter, and as you and I both know, that oath would block him from doing anything that would harm the young Potter boy. I am also privy to the knowledge that he was not their secret keeper; to protect his best friend, his brother James, they put Peter as a secret keeper knowing the world would believe it was Sirius. That leads me to this next statement that Peter Pettigrew is still alive; it took me a while to find him, almost a year, to be exact. He is living in his Animagus form, a rat, in the home of Arthur Weasley unbeknownst to him or his family.

I would suggest visiting there under the guise of a friendly visit for tea, the Weasley family, would never knowingly grant sanctuary to a death eater.

Once it is confirmed that Peter Pettigrew is alive and can verify the story that he was the secret keeper, Sirius Black will need to be released from his cell with a full pardon. There are actions he must take to right wrongs, but it cannot happen until he is freed, and his name is cleared.

I must make this clear, you cannot let the Prophet or anyone outside your trusted circle uncover your actions until Peter is in custody and the truth has been taken from him. The Weasleys will need to be held under an Unbreakable Vow stating they cannot in any form divulge your visit and what happened to anyone until you provide the permission. I mean No One.

I fear if word gets out of your efforts, there will be people who will be against the truth due to the Greater Good, and you will not be consider their friend. I must stress that you use Aurors you trust, not those that are just trustworthy, not those who have allegiances to the Greater Good.

Remember to be wary of those who care more about the Greater Good than what is right. The Greater Good serves one man. What is right serves all.

Last, please do not worry about the next steps, when the time is right, or I feel you are lost, I will send you another letter.

Your Servant.

Amelia place the letter down and weighed its words again. She knew she would have to act on the words. She would be a fool not to, but there is also the question, who was the man who cared more about the Greater Good than what was right.

She had a feeling she knew who it was, and if she was right, she needed to be careful.

She stood from her desk and threw on her cloak and placed the letter and the journal still wrapped in its package in a pocket. She walked out her door and told her secretary she needed to run a quick errand at Gringotts, and she would be back shortly.

There was no time to waste.

And here is Chapter 1! What do you guys think, I've always wanted to write a story like this, and it took me a time to get the outline finished.

Who do you think wrote the letter? Let me know in the reviews!

Much love!
