Due to real life my muse has fled. It is starting to come back. I will need another day or so before I can post the second chapter that I promised with my last update. Sorry for this chapter being so short.
Last Chapter
"Alright. Are you ready?" asked Severus.
"Yes." Replied Jasmine
Chapter 11
"I am going to do a scan to see if any spells have been placed on you and who placed them." Severus explained while murmuring the spell. When he was finished a list appeared floating in the air. Albus Dumbledore had placed Jasmine under a memory charm 3 different times. The first one was back in 1976, one in 1978 and the last in 1981. The last one was the worse. It made her forget everything.
"Oh my God, how could that bastard do that to me?" Jasmine cried.
"I don't know. The first two were done while you were in school. I wonder how many others he has done that to?" Severus mused.
"Is there anyway to regain my lost memories?"
"Yes but it will be painful. Unless you have already set things up to regain lost memories."
"Now will you tell me how you know me?"
"Your name was Jasmine Evans. We were friends at school. You are a witch."
"We were friends? Were we friends with 3 other boys and a girl?"
"You were but I was not why do you ask?"
"I had a memory flashback of me laying with another girl and four boys under an oak tree. One boy had sandy brown hair, one had glasses and the other had steel gray eyes."
"I do not remember that."
"Is it possible you have had a memory charm placed on you too?"
"It is possible. We should get going." Severus said just as Sabrina came back into the room.
"Ok, how are we going to get there?" Asked Sabrina.
"I would like to drive. If that is ok Sev?" Inquired Jasmine.
"If you would like to drive that is fine Jasmine. It will give us time to talk." Severus said as they walked out to the car.
As soon as Madam Bones and Kingsley Shacklebolt got back to the Ministry with their prisoner, Amelia set up a trial. As luck would have it Minister Fudge was with Albus Dumbledore at his office in Hogwarts. She was able to have Pettigrew's trial right away. Pettigrew was found guilty and sentenced to a dementors kiss once he got to Azkaban.
As Sirius and Raven apparated into the living room Sirius asked Raven what he wanted for dinner. "Can we have pizza?" Raven asked.
"Sure that sounds good. Why don't you call and order one. There is money in the table by the door. I'm going to go check on the crystal. If it has soaked up all the potion we can try to find your mum." Sirius said while going to the kitchen.
Raven went over to the phone and dialed the number for information and asked to be connected to a local pizza place as he hung up the phone after ordering two large pizzas, one supreme and one all meats. He looked up to see his father come into the room with the globe, book of maps and the crystal.
"I take it the potion has soaked into the crystal?" Raven asked.
"It sure did kiddo. Let's see how well this will work. Did you order the pizza?"
"Yeah I ordered two pizzas. One supreme and one all meats."
"Ok, sounds good. How long before they get here?"
"They said it would take about 45 minutes."
"Ok. Grab the crystal and go over to the globe. Think about your mom and hold it by the chain. It should go straight to the country she is in."
"Ok. Here goes nothing." As Raven held the crystal by the chain it immediately settled on England. It looked like it was on London.
"Dad, come take a look at this. It looks like it is on London."
"Ok let me grab the map of London and the surrounding area." Sirius then spread the map of the London area out on the coffee table.
"Bring the crystal over here son and try it again."
Raven held the crystal over the map and it landed on Little Whinging.
Sirius and Raven shared an incredulous look. They were in Little Whinging earlier. They were broken out of their shock by the ringing of the doorbell. As Sirius went to answer the door he told Raven to grab the map of Little Whinging to try and narrow down the search.
Croaker sat in his office looking over some papers he got from Amelia Bones. Now that one of his best agents was cleared he was going to try to get him back. Amelia told him he wasn't ready yet to come back but he decided to go talk to him anyway. When he was about to get up a knock sounded on his office door.
"Come in" he said.
The door opened and who should be on the other side of the door but the "Ghost" the best interrogator he ever had. He retired after the fall of the Dark Lord.
"Hello Ghost, how can I help you?" Croaker asked.
"I want to know what is going on. Amelia Bones wouldn't tell me anything."
"Well what I tell you needs to stay between us. There is an investigation going on. Sirius Black was imprisoned falsely. He never got a trial. At the same time Jasmine Evans disappeared. Now Black and Evans are Harry Potter's godparents. He should have been placed with them. Instead Albus Dumbledore placed Harry Potter with his mother's sister against the wishes of the Potter will. Is that enough information for you to put the pieces together?"
"Oh Merlin, Albus knew Sirius wasn't the secret keeper, didn't he?"
"Yeah he did, at least that's how it is looking. Amelia has asked Gringotts to go over the Potter and Black estates to see if any money was taken from them." Croaker said. "I'm going to go see Black. Care to join me?"
"Yes, I'd like to apologize to Sirius. I also need to find a way to explain all this to Harry. He is my son Ron's best friend."
"Ok, let's go. I believe he is staying at the safe house he and Jasmine set up."
Raven swung the crystal over the map of Little Whinging. The crystal landed on the corner of Magnolia Crescent and the alley that connects Wisteria Walk to Magnolia Crescent.
"Dad, we walked past Mum's house today."
All while Severus, Jasmine and Sabrina were getting her supplies, Jasmine kept having flashes of her doing the same thing with her sister Lily. During the drive to the Leaky Cauldron Severus told Jasmine about their first meeting and about Lily.
Please review. Sorry for taking so long. Real life interrupted big time. :)
