"Would you care for tea Mr. James?" asked Hermione politely.

"Yes please; that would be lovely," said the coroner, smiling at Hermione as she stood up from the kitchen table.

"Now, what was this about your having something important to say?" asked Harry, biting into a scone.

"Oh, yes, well . . . I have completed my autopsy of Audrey and I wanted to discuss the final report with you, if that's okay," said Mr. James, taking a blueberry scone off the plate in the center of the table.

"I'm glad you wish to do so," said Hermione, placing a teacup down in front of Mr. James, "Cream and sugar?"

"Yes please," said Mr. James, the steam from the tea curling it's way up to the ceiling.

After Mr. James had approached the Potters at Audrey's funeral, Harry had asked Mr. James back to his and Hermione's house for tea so they could talk. So after the funeral guests had left the cemetery, Mr. James had followed the Potters back to their house in his car. Now, as he sat across the table from Harry and Hermione, he wondered exactly how he was going to break the news to them.

"Before we begin, I wanted to asked you if you've gotten any farther on the matter of my parents Mr. James," said Hermione.

"Unfortunately no, as adults usually take longer to go over than children. But I can assure you that by the end of the month I should have information for you. And please, call me Ned," said the coroner.

Hermione nodded. "Thank you Ned," she told him. "Now, on the subject of Audrey . . ." she did her best to hold back her tears. Harry took her hand under the table and squeezed it gently.

"It seems that your daughter had extraordinary powers," began Ned. "For instance, it has come to my attention that she was a true Seer. I have evaluated your family tree but I have not found anyone in either one of your descendants who has strong powers like that."

Harry nodded. "So you're saying Audrey could have made predictions of the future and correctly read palms and crystal balls?" he asked.

"Yes," said Ned nodding, "and if you studied Divination at Hogwarts, you know what else she could have done. Tea leaves and dream interpretations are among the other things as well."

"I took Divination, and Hermione studied it for awhile as well," said Harry, "but what else did you find?"

"Physically, Audrey was in a very good state. A strong heart and other organs, average size and weight, good nutrition levels . . . But something else clearly wasn't right," said Ned, taking a sip of his tea, which tasted of lemon.

"What would that be?" asked Hermione, sitting forward a bit.

"Well, her mental state was a bit odd. Nothing such as a learning disability or anything like that, no . . . It was something else," said the coroner.

"What? What was it?" asked Harry.

"It seems that she has very high levels of feraversum in her blood. Feraversum is a hormone that only wizards produce in their bodies. It affects their level of power to do magic. Both of you have high levels of feraversum in you, but Audrey's is through the roof," Ned stopped to take a bite of his scone.

"Was this feraversum affecting Audrey mentally?" asked Harry.

"It appears so, yes," said Mr. James, "and therefore she could sense things such as danger and agitation among powerful Dark wizards . . . Almost like you Mr. Potter."

Harry looked down at the table for a moment before speaking. "Do you mean to say that Audrey knew when Hermione's parents were to be killed?"

Hermione gave an involuntary shudder just thinking about it.

"I believe so. Although she may not have acted differently, it seems to me that she knew something was wrong, " Ned paused for a moment before continuing, "and it may be that she was feeling so afflicted by the events that were to take place the following morning that led to her suicide."

Harry blinked. "What do you mean, 'the events that were to take place the following morning'?"

At the same time Hermione gasped and said, "What do you mean, 'suicide'?"
