Amelia Bones paced through the room one more time. She had done it for so long that one could see the path she had traced on the carpet floor.

On the other side, Ezekiel along with Harry, Dora and Andi were looking at her go around for the twentieth time in a row from their place on the couches at the waiting room. They had been terrified of the prospect of the interrogation by the very head of the DLME but after repeating the same story over and over again, they were frankly annoyed.

Bones sighted for umpteen time before passing her hands through her face. This was a nightmare, it had to be. The result of countless sleepless nights that came to punish her in the form of this hell. She took a deep breath and asked the same question that she had been asking for the last three hours.

"Okay, let's start again" she choose to ignore the angry groans that her witnesses gave "From the very beginning"

Ezekiel suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and began again.

"We arrived here around 9 a.m. in order to get Harry" he pointed at the boy "a physical. Our intention was to get a copy of it in order to fill charges against his uncles."

Amelia was still surprised to hear that. To think that the Bane of Voldemort had been living under such circumstances made her blood boil. Her own niece, Susan, had always send him a card on the anniversary of his family's death.

"Very well, and then?"

""We spoke to the welcome witch and were sent to this room. This is where Head Healer Rowe met us"

"He expressed his disdain towards me and declared that Albus Dumbledore is Harry's true Magical Guardian. Then a bright light shined an here we are" he said gesturing at the waiting room in which they had been confined for the past hours.

"This doesn't explain anything" replied an exasperated Bones. "Very well, Auror Tonks" she faced Dora "a full report of the incident"

"Ma'am, it's all happened as Ezekiel" she was taken aback by the span style="font-family: sans-serif;"steely look that Bones gave her, so she corrected herself and sat straight on the couch "I accompanied Lord Black and mister Potter to this facility and followed them to the waiting room. I witnessed Head Healer Rowe as he entered with who I presume, were his assistants. He and Lord Black had a brief discussion regarding mister Potter's Magical Guardian which ended once Head Healer Rowe declared his support for Albus Dumbledore. After the act a bright light blinded all of us, once we were able to see again Head Healer Rowe was lying on the floor. His assistants sounded the alarm and he was provided medical assistance. They levitated him out of the room and the Aurors assigned to this building instructed us to remain here, which we did until your arrival."

Bones took another lap around the room, repeating to herself the word okay over and over again. Finally she stopped in front of Andi, who was hugging a distressed Harry.

"You're Auror Tonks's mother, are you?"

"And Ezekiel's aunt, yes" she said proudly as she raised her eyes to meet Bone's.

i"And you're the one that setup the meeting between Lord Black and Head Healer Rowe." That wasn't a question.

"No" Andi replied " I setup an appointment with Healer Haynes, who was to perform a full exam on both of them. Apparently he blabbed about it and word reached Head Healer Rowe's ears. He decided that he'll take the appointment instead of Haynes."

"And you didn't approve it?" Bones asked.

"No, he has...had, the habit of taking patients on account of their position. It's also rumored that he stole the credit for several ideas for treatments, although nobody could confirm it."

Both Dora and Ezekiel were having the time of their lives. Amelia Bones, one of emthe em most respected woman on the government, was trying to intimidate Andromeda Tonks (nee Black) a woman raised not to care for that sort of thing.

All of the sudden they had the urge to get some popcorn.

"And in your experience, Medi-Witch Tonks" Bones asked "what could have caused this phenomenon?"

"I haven't got the faintest idea, Madam Bones." Said Andi defiantly I suggest speaking with the healers that came with him. They were the ones that treated him."

Both woman stared at each other's eyes for what it seemed to be forever before an Auror entered the room. The man was startled with the scene before him, insecure on how to proceed.

"Auror Sutton, I assume that you're here with news about mister Rowe's condition?" Bones asked while keeping her eyes on Andi.

"I, err, yes Ma'am. The Healers say that"

"Auror Sutton "Bones interrupted " is there any reason to justify your breach of protocol?"

"We're currently in the middle of an investigation. I'm currently questioning the witnesses, so please explain to me why you choose to disclose information with them in the same room?"

"It... it's urgent Madam Bones, The healers have requested your presence."

"The man left immediately after reporting. Ezekiel and Dora felt sorry for him, as the head of the DLME didn't like to be summoned as if she was some intern. She finally broke eye contact with Andi, who was still hugging Harry with one arm. The poor kid hadn't uttered a word after what had witnessed and Andi hadn't left his side. Rubbing his eyes, Ezekiel got up and walked around to stretch his legs, moving his arms around and cracking his neck. Dora took advantage of him leaving and laid down on the couch.

"Christ, Zeke." Dora scold him. "It's like lying on burning coal here, man. What did you do?"

"Oh shut up will ya'. Of course it's going to be hot, Madam bones had me sit there forever" he said as he stretched his back. "Andi, what the hell was that? I didn't do it, she "He pointed at Dora" didn't do it and I know you didn't. Harry sure as hell didn't."

"Language" Andi chastised him

"Sorry"

"Anyway, I don't know. I've never seen anything like that. At least it wasn't dark magic, it doesn't shine like that." She turned towards Harry on her side." Are you okay, Harry?" seeing the boy nodding shyly.

"I don't understand what happened. What was that light?"

"We don't know, Harry."

"But, he was just there"

"Don't worry about him, Harry." Ezekiel said, still stretching.

"Ezekiel!"

""He's right, mom" chipped in Dora " the man was with Dumbledore, so fuck him."

"Dora!" Said Andi shocked.

"It's how it is, Andi" Ezekiel said" Don't worry about him, Harry. He certainly wasn't about you."

"But he was hurt!"

"And if he hadn't said anything he'd probably tried to hurt you and emthen em blame us. "He saw Harry's conflicted face, along with Andi's disbelieving one, so he walked towards him and crouched in front of the boy. "It's okay, you saw something scary. And yes, it's okay to be concerned for that man. It's a good thing, you're a good guy, you at least have some conscience." He smiled at him. "But that man didn't even looked at you, even when he's supposed to be a Healer. Whatever he was going to do clearly wasn't on your best interest.

"Yeah" Added Dora" suck to be him, but he had it coming"

"But... what if he stays like that?

"We don't know what he has, Harry" Dora comforted him "It may not even be that bad"

"At that point Madam Bones opened the door, walked towards them and simply said

"All right, you can leave." She said as she tried to exit the room swiftly, but Harry got up from his seat and reached her before she could do so.

"Wait, what happened to him? Is he going to be alright?"

"He'll live, Lord Potter." Said Bones awkwardly. She didn't knew how to address the boy and yet she was sure that had he asked for her to jump, she'd have to do so.

"So he'll be fine?" Said Harry, relieved.

"No, Harry" Ezekiel said "she said that he'll live, not that he'll be fine." He shifted towards Madam Bones. "What happened? What was that light?"

"Head Healer Rowe... broke his vows. That's all I can say at the moment." Said Bones, seeing that both Ezekiel and Dora could get that information anyway.

"Wait a minute, he broke his vows and emthat em happened to him? Such a thing has never happened before! At most he should sport a mark, a cut tops."

""Andi" Asked Harry" what vows are those?"

"Oh, I can answer that Harry!" Said Ezekiel scathingly. "You see, every Healer and Muggle Doctors take an oath, something along the lines of "To carry out no other purpose than the good and the health of the sick". The difference here" He pointed to where the Healer had been before "is that our vows actually count for something in the magical world. The reason for the light and what happened to that man was the result of him breaking those vows. So no need to worry about the twat anymore." He sighted "Come on, I'll take you to a real hospital." He looked at Andi "This was a mistake."

She on the other hand was at a loss of word.

"Wait, Madam Bones. This is unheard of, the oath should've marked him but nothing above that."

"It did" Madam Bones revealed, to everyone's surprise. "It marked his skin, organs and bones even. Left him into a coma, before stripping him of his magic. First time it ever happens."

That caught everyone's attention

"He squibbed himself?" Asked a wide eyed Dora.

"Yes, after the last time I thought that it was because of Auror Black's doing, but magic returned to Surrey a couple of hours ago. This time it's gone." She shook her head "If you're leaving I presume that you'll be going to Gringotts?" She didn't wait for a response" Take the back-door, reporters are flooding the place."

"Very well, much appreciated Madam Bones" Said Ezekiel, who nodded to Harry and Dora" Let's go, we've wasted enough time here."

"I'm coming with you" Said Andi, who removed her white robes, leaving only the standard red uniform. "Got a feeling that I no longer have patients to take care of."

"Nonsense, they can't fire you. Certainly not over this" Pointed out Dora.

"Actually they have" said Madam Bones. "They told me to inform you, they fear that Auror Black might do something to them in retaliation. For what is worth, I'm sorry. I've heard nothing but good things about you ever since I got here." Said Madam Bones to Andi apologetically

"See?" said Andi resigned. "Let's get going, spilt milk and all that."

They all got up from their seat, minus a furious Ezekiel and headed to the back entrance, which was clear of witnesses.

The day that had started on such a high note had been pretty much ruined, Ezekeil thought, but if the Gringotts's visit was short he'd at least be able to show Harry Diagon Alley.

Ezekiel would remember that day for as long as he lived and on the great beyond as well, as the day that the entire universe gave him the finger.
