Chapter One

Angela, Booth and Brennan were going through Seth Elliot's laptop, looking at the photos. "It's dog fighting," Booth said.

Angela had a grossed out look on her face and said, "I hate this job, so I'm quitting to go run a gallery in Dubai."

"It's just disgusting," Brennan said with an upset voice.

"Yea. We got the subpoena to download Dr. Elliot's P.D.A. records from the server."

Booth pointed towards the screen, asking "These were on his P.D.A.?"

Angela nodded and replied, "Time stamped the day of his death."

Brennan started pointing things out in the pictures "Fighting pit. Spectators. A rape stand used to restrain uncooperative females. The smaller cages are for bait- small animals used as rewards for the winners."

"They teach you that at anthropology school?" Booth asked Brennan, looking at her.

"Pitting animals against each other is a common pastime in evolving cultures… where violence is more commonplace and animal life has no value" Brennan answered in a matter of fact voice.

Angela got a look on her face and corrected "To men. No value to men."

"Yes. It's always men" she said, nodding.

Booth sighed and said "Here we go again. Okay, you two. Don't get Xena, Princess Warrior on me. Okay?" Angela and Brennan smiled at each other. "I guess we know now where Elliot liked to do his gambling."

"Wait, Ange. Go back." Angela clicked a few photos back, then Bones pointed "There. Can you magnify that?"

Angela squinted at the picture and answered "What? That blob?"

Brennan replied, "There's something familiar." Angela magnified it. "It's Gladys' ball."

"Who's Gladys?" Angela asked with a confused face.

"Could be enough to get a warrant… if the judge had a glass of wine or two at lunch."

Angela's phone started to ring and as she answered it, she said "Dubai, people. I'm gonna sell Inuit art to gazillionaires." She turned her attention to the phone "Hello?"

"Hey, Angie." Petunia said. "We are on our way, we'll be there at about six. I'll text you the address of where we are landing."

Angela replied "Okay, I'll pick y'all up at six. Fly safe. Bye."

"Bye."

Brennan and Booth looked at her. Then Brenna asked, "Was that your sister?"

"Yeah," Angela said looking at her. "They're gonna be landing at around six. Then I'm going to be picking them up and taking them by my place to drop off Harry's stuff and swing by here because Cam wants to give him a physical. To make sure everything is fine."

"Who all is going to be here during this?" Booth asked.

Angela thought about it and answered, "You, Brennan, Hodgins, Cam, Sweets and Carolyn."

He looked at her and asked, "No interns?"

Angela shook her head, replying "I don't know if I can trust any of them with what I'm gonna tell y'all." She waved her hand at the door and said, "I'll tell you more about it tonight. I have a lot of things to get done so I can focus on helping Harry get settled here."


Dr. Saroyan and Dr. Hodgins were walking through the lab towards his desk when Saroyan said, "Judge said no. Gladys' ball isn't enough for a warrant."

Hodgins looked at her asking "Why?"

"Because over two million of them were sold last year."

"Well, we did our best," Hodgins said unconcerned. "Next case."

Saroyan shook her head and replied, "We need evidence that the Timmon's place is being used for dog fighting."

Hodgins sat down in a chair at a desk and said "All right. Well, I found crustaceous material in the victim's car. It's an antifungal treatment used on Astroturf."

She sighed and said, "That doesn't link us with dogfighting either."

Angela walked up then saying "Yeah, it does." They wind up in her office with her clicking through pictures "Ick...ew...bluh" She finally found the picture and with a relieved sigh said "Alright, here we go. Brennan said that this was the dogfighting ring."

"So, it's Astroturf." Hodgins said.

Saroyan said, "If this Astroturf cleaning stuff was delivered to the Timmon's, that should get us a warrant."

Hodgins turned chuckling towards Angela saying, "You are a genius."

She turned around laughing and replied "No, you're the genius." It turned into an awkward silence that was interrupted by Angela's phone beeping. She shook her head and looked at her phone. She smiled and said "Harry's bed and things came in. I gotta go let the movers put them in his room." She stood up and looked at them saying "I'll see y'all later." Then she left her office. She couldn't wait to see her friends' faces when she told them. If they were anything like Hodgins' face, it would be hilarious.


Angela pulled into the Reagan airport parking lot for private jets. She made sure to get there at least 10 minutes early. She walked up to the desk and after giving the flight details, she was led to the hanger where the plane would stop. She was glad they had a sitting area with a heater.

About 5 minutes later, the plane came into the hanger. Angela walked outside, as she got to the plane it opened showing Petunia coming out carrying Harry with her. Angela waved and said, "Hey, sis." Then she turned towards Harry and picked him up after Petunia gave him to her. "And how are you little guy? Are you ready to see my friends?"

At that moment a ragged looking man walked out of the plane with an older gentleman following him. The younger guy, Remus Lupin, walked up to Angela and gave her a hug saying hi. The older man, Albus Dumbledore, said, "Hello, Ms. Montenegro. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister." While shaking the hand that wasn't holding Harry.

Angela replied "Thank you. I just wish Harry could have grown up with her." She wiped her eyes and said "Let's get Harry's things set up in my apartment. And don't worry Remus, I also have a room set up for you too."

"Thank you, Angela." Remus answered. "What about during a full moon?"

Angela replied "Don't worry, I had one of my friends redo the walls of my apartment with steel walls imbued with silver. So we should be fine and Lily used to tell me that you had spells that you put up to make walls more secure so you wouldn't hurt anybody?"

"Yes, I do," Remus said. "So, she told you about all the measures we took?"

"Yes, she did. And I already rang Severus to see about him delivering the Wolfsbane to my place for you. And he knows some good security spells to make sure nothing else happens. After we get Harry settled in the apartment, we're going to swing by my work. My friends there want to give Harry an examination to make sure everything is fine. And you can be there to help me explain it to them and Mr. Dumbledore has the paperwork for them to sign anyway."

They all agreed with that.


A few hours later, they arrived at the Jeffersonian. When the security guard let them in with visitors passes, they went to Angela's office where everyone was. As soon as Harry saw Hodgins, to everyone but Angela's surprise, he reached out for him with a smile. Hodgins got up to hold him and held up his hand for a high five. Harry happily returned the high five and laid his head on his shoulder with a big yawn to take a nap.

Saroyan, after seeing the exchange, asked Hodgins "You're familiar with Harry?"

He answered "Yes, when Angela and I were still together and planning on getting married we went and visited her family in England for Christmas. And this little guy was almost 5 months old. Angela and I were constantly video chatting with Lily, James and Harry. And visiting them one weekend out of a month."

"Wow, I had no idea. To be honest, I had no idea Angela even had sisters," Booth said. While the others, minus Hodgins and Brennan, agreed.

Brennan said then, "I knew about her sisters and nephews. I've been excited to meet them. Harry is so beautiful." She ran her hand over Harry's head.

"Thanks," Angela said "So let me introduce everyone, this is my older sister, Petunia Evans," pointing to Petunia, who waved, "this is Remus Lupin, he went to school with James and Lily and is Harry's honorary Godfather," Remus nodded his head at them, "and this is Albus Dombledore, the Headmaster of their school," Dombledore just smiled at them with that twinkle in his eyes.

"It's very nice to meet you!" Saroyan said.

"And now for the others, we have my ex-fiancee who Harry is falling asleep against, Jack Hodgins, he is our bugs and slime guy. The woman sitting at the table is Camile Saroyan, she is the Head of our department and she deals with the fleshy parts," Saroyan smiled at that, "the woman sitting next her is, Temperance Brennan, she is the one who deals with the bones," Brennan gave them an assessing look, "the man standing behind her is, Seeley Booth, he is the FBI Agent that works with us," he gave a little salute, "The man standing next to him is Lance Sweets, he is our FBI profiler and psychologist," Sweets gave them a reserved smile and wave, "and last but not least we have the woman over by the coffee maker, Caroline Julian, who is the prosecutor and lawyer that we do our cases with when we go to court," she gave them a small smile and nod.

"It's nice to meet you, I've heard a lot of good things about you," Lupin said.

"Really?" Booth asked, "So Angela said that y'all have something to inform us about?"

Dumbledore looked at Booth and then looked at Julian, "Yes, what we are going to inform you about is very important, but before we can tell you, we need you to sign these contracts saying you won't tell anyone." He gave the contracts to Julian, "Angela said that you and the others would want you to look over it."

"Thank you, Mr. Dumbledore, I will look these over," Julian said, taking them and going over to the table to look them through.

Hodgins looked at Julian and said, "It should be all good because when I got with Angela and we were fixing to get married, I had to sign one of those before they told me anything about Lily, James and Harry. I looked those over with a fine tooth comb, so it should be good."

"Thanks, Hodgins." Julian replied, while looking over the contracts. After she was done she told everyone, "It looks good, y'all can sign them."

After everyone signed them Angela took a deep breath and after Hodgins gave her hand a squeeze she said, "Alright, what I'm about to tell you is going to require you to have an open mind. When I told Hodgins he was… extremely sceptical. Magic is real. Remus and Dumbledore can show you proof that it is."

Everyone looked at Hodgins in disbelief. Then Brennan asked him, "You believe them?"

"Yes, I do. Trust me it took me a while to actually believe them, but it's true. Lily was the only magical in the family, she was classified as a Muggleborn, James was classified as a Pureblood, which means his whole family were magicals, then there are two types of Half-Bloods, one is better respected then the other. Harry, Lupin, and Dumbledore are of the higher standing because they have a Muggleborn parent and a Pureblood parent. Severus, who the sister's grew up with, is of the slightly lower standing with one Muggle parent and a Pureblood parent. The hierarchy in the magical world is Pureblood, Half-Blood, Muggleborn, Creature, Squib, and then Muggle, which is non-magical."

"Wow, that is interesting," Booth said. "What was it like growing up with a magical sister?"

"It was fun, especially when she got home and would show some of the stuff she learned to do and I especially loved learning about the potions," Angela replied, while Petunia said "It wasn't as awesome to me, Angela was so amazed with magic. I guess she was seeing all the good that v=came with it and I was seeing all of the bad. And I am sad to say that it drove a wedge between me and my sisters."

After that discussion we went through the physical for Harry, which was mostly alright except for the MRI scan noticed that there was something weird going on with his scar, giving Julian the many books on magical laws with her permission after she said that she was interested, giving Saroyan, Brennan and Hodgins the finger and explaining what the investigators think what happened. It was decided with how late it was that they would start looking through it tomorrow and with that everyone went to their houses to go to sleep. Dumbledore, Petunia, Remus, Angela and Harry went to her place. Harry, as soon as he saw his room he was so excited but all the excitement managed to catch up with him and he went to sleep in his new convertible bed that right now was a crib. Remus went to his room and after rearranging it to his liking he went to sleep while Dumbledore and Petunia each took a guest room and Angela went to sleep in her room. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as crazy but when is a work day at the Jeffersonian ever boring.


Hey, everyone! I am so sorry about the long wait but life happened at the worst time. I had to take custody with my mom of my two nieces one with PTSD and one with Autism and getting them settled and trying to figure out the best way to help them. And starting school. Now that I've graduated and am looking for a job maybe I will be able to update within a year. Thanks to all of you who have stuck with me through the wait as always, I will appreciate and accept criticism. All I ask is that it be constructive and not hating.
