Hey everyone out there I won't have a long note this time and get to this chapter. But I have to say that after this chapter more characters may come into the story. I believe that I'll bring the Gryfindor Trio into it soon. The question that will change the whole plot of the story is at the end of this chapter and the question from last chapter still stands (about Romance or no and who the pairings will be if there is Romance). Well here is the Disclaimer and then the chapter!

Disclaimer: I OWN EVERYTHING!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! j/k, I only own my original characters.

Family Matters

Chapter 8- The Plan

It being around lunchtime when Severus and Remus got to Hogwarts everyone was in the Great Hall. Except one Albus Dumbledore. He was waiting outside for them when they arrived from Hogsmeade. Severus, following Remus's advice had owled ahead to tell Dumbledore that "some interesting news was found out today. It needs immediate attention." Dumbledore, who was anticipating some news on Voldemort, was quite shocked when the first words out of Severus's mouth were, "It's not about Voldemort, Albus but still important I believe." The Headmaster surveyed him for a moment then nodded once wondering what could be more important than Voldemort. The three men began the long walk up the hill to the school. Few words were exchanged and Remus and Severus noted wisely that since Dumbledore wasn't making any moves for conversation, they shouldn't either. By the time the three made it to the castle lunch was over and the students had gone back to their common rooms or wherever they had been. Dumbledore led them to his office where he provided the stone gargoyle with the password (Fizzing Whizabees) went up the spiral moving staircase and took his seat behind the large wood desk. "Sit down both of you. Before you get started with your news I have a question: Where is Sirius?" Albus asked looking at the two men he had known since they were in Hogwarts. "Sirius is in London waiting for us to comeback. He is in his Animagus state so he won't be seen." Remus said taking a seat in one of the chairs in front of Dumbledore's desk with Severus beside him. Dumbledore gave a nod of approval and leaning back in his chair and steepling his fingers he said, "Please start with your story." Remus nodded to Severus that he should speak so Severus looked into Dumbledore's eyes and told him everything that they knew about the two mysterious teenagers. After he had finished what he had to say Severus looked for the Headmaster's expression. He looked to be thinking very intently on what he had just been told and seemed to be searching for an answer. "Though this sounds very strange to the both of you this occurrence is not unheard of in the Wizarding world. Though it's extremely rare and hardly ever seen. The occurrence itself is referred to as, Blood Memories. If a memory is strong enough it can be passed on to someone that shares the same blood line and is related to the person somehow. The relation may be distant or close is doesn't matter as long as they share the same blood, so it can be passed through by marriage. But I've never heard of this happening to a muggle before." Albus said looking at the two wizards in front of him. "So the first girl, Mackenzie has to be related to the Potters somehow?" Remus ventured. "She can be related to any of the parities involved in the memory." Dumbledore said. "So she can be related to Lilly's side of the family?" Severus asked. "Yes and the other possible way is that she can be related to Voldemort." Albus looked at the stunned looks on the faces in front of him after this statement. Remus and Severus took a moment to digest this information. Remus had a thought on something else so he voiced it, "You said before that this has never happened to a muggle before. So maybe it's something different?" He tried already knowing the answer. "No. I'm pretty sure it's Blood Memories. But this seems to bring up another rarely seen occurrence, S. M. A., Suppressed Magical Ability." Albus said still pondering this situation. This seemed to be the girl he had had the strange feelings about but he wasn't sure. "I believe I've heard of that before, most of the time the Magical Talent emerges as a knack for Divination, correct?" Snape said looking at Dumbledore. "Yes but most often it emerges later in life, maybe late teens and early twenties. Magical ability has to be suppressed by something very traumatic though. It seems safest if you could bring Mackenzie and Lauren here to see what going on with them. If Voldemort got wind of this I'd hate to think what would happen to those to girls." Albus said. "Headmaster, are you asking us to kid-nap two teenage girls in the heart of London?" Severus asked "Yes I am Severus so I would go back to London now, find Sirius and those two girls and bring them back here as fast as you can." Dumbledore said looking at them then at the door to give them a hint. Both young men looked at each other got up then left each thinking about how about how to do this. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ After Sirius had told Severus and Remus that he had been tailing the girls all day the three of them made a plan and set out to do it. Sirius would lay down in the alley as a dog wounded and whimpering. He had noted that both girls seemed to be interested in dogs earlier. Severus and Remus would be in the shadows waiting for the two of them to come to investigate the matter of the dog. They would step out of the shadows and stupefy both girls and get back to Hogwarts with them as fast as they could. They all took their positions and waited for the tour bus to go by. Sirius began right on cue and within a minute two girls came around the corner and rushed to the seemingly wounded animal. The other wizards stepped out of hiding and the redhead hearing something turned and looked at them but she turned back to see that Sirius had changed back into a human form. Then both girls stood up and made ready to run. But the two men were faster with a hushed "Stupefy!" from both the two girls crumpled to the ground in a heap. Severus bent down and scooped up Lauren while Remus grabbed Mackenzie. Sirius changed back to a dog and the three men made for the Leaky Cauldron to use their fireplace without ever being seen.



So there it is! The Kidnapping! Here is your question readers, who will it be that Mackenzie's related to, Lilly, James or Voldemort? Remember that if you pick Lilly or James Mackenzie can't be involved with Harry (I've never been a fan of incest). Also please answer the other question dealing with the romance issue. I will not post the next chapter unless I get sufficient feedback so it's up to you readers! The course of the story is now in your hands!! (Dramatic Music inserted here) Until next chapter, REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!! Yours truly, -Mongoose
