FOR NEVILLE'S PAIRING:
Neville will not enter a romantic relationship till fifteen. I am aiming for that to be chapter 11 or 12. So you have till then to suggest people.
FOR REMUS: you have until chapter 10 to suggest people
FOR SIRIUS: Chapter 15. Also please don't suggest anyone in his family. I feel Sirius would never do that after growing up with people intermarrying.
FOR HARRY: This is only Harry/Fleur not Harry/Fleur/whoever. I do love those but it's not for this story. Maybe another time.
FierceDeityLinkMaster: Sorry. I won't really use them unless there is a lot of yelling. Mostly just with dealing with Dumbles and If a Howler is involved.
alexander1993: As much as I love Harry/Fleur/Tonks its not for this story.
Uzushiogakure: On Snape. At the point that Lily wrote those letters she was still holding out hope that Snape would come to his sense and even if he didn't Snape was still her first friend. She isn't ready to let go of him just yet. Also Snape kept hidden or downplayed what he did as a death eater. Ok as for Azkaban or Dementor's kiss for him I haven't decide yet. Dementor's Kiss seems to easy. Snap Deserves to suffer (at least in this story) For what he did. Of course Life in Azkaban seems to easy on him as well but I'm not sure I want him to die just yet. If you got an idea for his punishment let me know.
Also some one asked me why Fudge was the Current Minister and it's honestly because i forgot. So for the sake of this story we are going to say that Minister Bangold received a vote of no confidence and Fudge replaced her.

"Good morning Amelia." Sirius said as Amelia steeped out of the floo.
"Did Alice tell you I was coming?" Amelia Bones asked as she removed the soot from her clothes and took the offered coffee.
"No. But only you, Minerva, and Augusta have our floo password. Augusta is already here, Minerva is preparing to send out acceptance letter for this year and visit the muggleborn/raised. So that only leaves you." Sirius said with a grin.
"Look at you being smart before lunch. That's new." Amelia said fighting a grin at Sirius' look of mock outrage.
"Now I know where Harry and Neville are learning their sarcasm from." Sirius said shaking his head in amusement.
"Of course. Speaking of which how are my favorite boys?" Amelia asked grinning.
"Terrible. They are going to be the death of me. Harry turned Ice's hair bright green yesterday. Neville summoned his favorite toy when Frankie took it away. Harry set off the alarms yesterday when Augusta started choking on a piece of peppermint. I pity which ever school we send them to when they turn Eleven." Sirius said with a laugh.
"Augusta started choking?" Amelia asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, she accidentally swallowed the peppermint she was eating while she watching the boys. Harry started to panic and then the alarms started going off. Brought us all running." Sirius said shaking his head slightly.
"I'll bet. Listen I finally convinced Fudge to redo everyone's trails. I would like you to Come to Snape's." Amelia said grinning at Sirius' surprised look.
"Of course, but how did you manage Snape? I thought Albus had that locked up tighter than a drum." Sirius said, raising an eyebrow when she gave a devilish smirk.
"Ministry mandate. Anyone who was accused of being a death eater may come forward and request a trail, Any one who bears the dark mark must come in for a trail. If they do not, they will be arrested and placed in Azkaban until a trail can be set up." Amelia said quoting the new mandate word for word.
"Well shit. What about me?" Sirius asked raising an eyebrow.
"Already cleared. Fudge said you could if you wanted to but no one was going to force you." Amelia said waving off his concern.
"Brilliant. When is Snape's trail?" Sirius asked with a soft grin.
"July 13th , 10 am, courtroom sixteen." Amelia said as she stood.
"Leaving without seeing the boys Amy?" Augusta asked as she walked into the room.
"Unfortunately Duty calls. Give the boys my love and tell them if I don't see them again over the next couple of weeks I'll see them at the party." Amelia said as she made her way back to the floo.

"Absolutely not Albus." Minister Fudge said glaring at the Headmaster.
"Cornelius, please. Severus is a good man and redeemed man." Albus said with a grandfatherly smile towards the minister.
"No Albus. That is not for you to decide. If Severus is a good man the courts will determine this. I know that you have to be willing to murder, rape, or torture someone to receive the make. Severus has to atone for that. If he is remorseful then there will be no problem. I will not have an accident like Sirius Black on my record as Minister." Cornelius said shaking his head.
"Very well. When is his trail?" Albus asked as he stood.
"Next week. Madam Bones will be owling everyone. Good day Albus. And Albus? For what it is worth I hope his trail goes well." Cornelius said as Albus stepped into the floo.
"Thank you Cornelius, I shall pass that along to Severus." Albus said before flooing away.
Ten Minutes later
"Ahh Amelia. Talk to Sirius and young Harry?" Cornelius asked as Amelia stepped into his office.
"Only Sirius. Harry was in class with Neville at the time. Sirius did say that he would come to Snape's trial. I don't know if he will bring Harry and Neville with him or not." Amelia said as she sat down and accepted a cup of tea.
"Albus came in trying to get me to let Snape off with a warning. Cornelius, please. Severus is a good man and redeemed man. And of course he used that grandfatherly smile he always uses when he wants you to do something. Why does he think that will work?" Cornelius asked looking up at Amelia.
"I have no idea. You obviously told him no. Did you tell him when Snape's trail is?" Amelia asked looking amused.
"No only that it is next week and that you would be mailing the summons when you got back. Really Amelia you need an assistant." Cornelius said shaking his head slightly.
"I know Cornelius but I can not take away from the Aurors. Besides when I take an assistant, that person will be who I want to take over the DMLE when I leave. Oh don't look at me like that Cornelius. Even you have to leave sometime. Besides I'm not leaving for awhile." Amelia said looking amused.
"Good because I'm not entirely sure I can do this without you Amelia." Cornelius said as he secretary, Diane Blakhawk, poked her head in.
"Sir? Lucius Malfoy is here and he is demanding to see you." Diane said looking nervous.
"See this is why I need you Amelia. Send him in Diane." Cornelius said with a smile as the woman dissappered and Lucius Malfoy strode into the office.
"Minister I need to speak with you." Lucius said looking at Cornelius imperiously.
"What ever you have to say to me you can say in front of Director Bones and if you can't then perhaps you best not say it." Cornelius said looking back just as imperiously. 'I am the Minister of Magic. I will not be cowed by this man.' Cornelius thought to his self.
'Thank you Augusta. Never have I been so glad she insisted we help him and give him confidence.' Amelia thought as she watched in amusement as a vein in Lucius' temple started throbbing.
"Very well' Lucius began, his voice tight. 'I think that this mandate is ridiculous and you should get rid of it." The vein was slightly more pronounced now.
"Why do you have something to hide Lord Malfoy?" Amelia interjected smoothly.
"Not in the slightest, Director Bones." Lucius said with ice in his voice.
"The you wouldn't mind bearing your left arm would you?" Amelia asked fighting a smirk.
"I don't see how it is any of your business." Lucius stated looking at Amelia coldly.
"As Director of the DMLE it is my business." Amelia shot back. Without a word Lucius turned and walked out.
"Oh dear." Cornelius said with a sigh.
"Cornelius I do believe you need to put a travel ban on all known death eaters including the one who claimed Imperious." Amelia said as she finished her tea.
"Indeed. Here, all it needs is your signature and then to be passed along to the Aurors." Cornelius said passing her a travel ban.
"Thank you Cornelius. Have a good day." Amelia said as she moved toward the door.
"Amelia. I hate to suggest this but perhaps choose a few aurors, even if retired, who you trust with you life and then start checking the other aurors." Cornelius said with a sigh.
"You think we might have a leak?" Amelia asked turning around.
"Very well Cornelius. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to check." Amelia said as she stepped out and made her way down to the DML. 'I hope he is wrong, but then that would explain a lot of things.' Amelia thought as she continued down.
Two Hours Later

Twenty Six Aurors. Most of them Death Eaters. It didn't help that Moody was retired , along with Augusta Longbottom and the had lost three of their best Aurors to France. And James Potter to Voldemort. This was not good. Cornelius sighed and buried his hands in his head. He didn't bother to lift his head as someone came in and sat down. After a few minutes the person spoke.
"This is bad." Amelia said with a sigh.
"I know. Any chance of getting the Longbottoms and Black to come back?" Cornelius asked looking hopeful.
"No. They are happy in France. I've already started going through the other departments. We just wrote the numbers this time." Amelia said handing him a short list.

"Eighty four…How many are marked Death Eaters?" Cornelius asked looking dazed.
"Well over half." Amelia said with a sigh.
"How did we never notice?" Cornelius asked looking at the list in annoyance.
"I have no idea." Amelia said focusing on the list of twenty six death eaters and sympathizers.
"Well we best start the trials." Cornelius said heaving a sigh.

"How goes it Amelia?" Cornelius asked looking up as Madam Bones entered looking rather upset.
"Lucius Malfoy is harboring Bellatrix LeStrange, her husband, her brother in law as well as Barty Crouch Jr." Amelia said looking pissed.
"Oh dear. What do we do?" Cornelius asked rubbing his temples.
"We need to storm Malfoy Manor but that brings up a problem." Amelia said sighing in frustration.
"What is the problem?" Cornelius asked with a sigh of his own.
"Narcissa and Draco Malfoy. We have no proof that Narcissa Malfoy is a death eater or a sympathizer. And the child." Amelia said with a grimace.
"Yes I see what you mean. Have you talked to Sirius about getting Lord black to call a family meeting and for Narcissa to bring the child?" Cornelius asked looking out the window.
"If we do that Bellatrix will go with her and then what?" Amelia asked looking frustrated.
"I would not mind handing over her arrest to the French if it meant getting her off the streets." Cornelius said with a shrug.
"What are you suggesting Cornelius?" Amelia said sitting up and looking at Cornelius.
"Sirius Black is an Auror is he not?" Cornelius asked raising an eyebrow.
"So you are purposing, Sirius goes to his grandfather, the current Lord Black, ask him to call a family meeting and make sure it's just Narcissa, Draco and Bellatrix and have Sirius arrest Bellatrix. Which may I add breaks their family code. 'Family First'. Are you insane?!" Amelia asked staring at Cornelius in shock.
"I thought the motto was 'Always Pure'? Besides Sirius has already broke that code when he chose the Potter's over the Blacks." Cornelius said with a shrug.
"Several things. First, the Black Family motto is 'Always Pure' the family code on the other had has several different parts, one being 'Family First'. Second Sirius didn't break the code by choosing the Potter's because James Potter's mother, Dorea, was born a Black. And Third, you are asking a lot of Sirius here. But I'll ask." Amelia said with a sigh as she stood and made her way to the fireplace.
"Now?" Cornelius asked in shock.
"Better sooner than Later." Amelia said before she stepped into the Floo.

9 pm
"Amelia?!" Sirius said in shock as he tried to fix his clothes and the woman on the couch giggled.
"Sirius Black….tell me she is a witch and then explain why you are making out with her on the couch in he living room this early in the night." Amelia said in a dangerous tone.
"There's not need to call me a bitch." The woman said looking upset.
"Sirius…" Amelia hissed glaring at the man.
"Amelia I can explain…." Sirius said looking nervously at Amelia.
"You better.' Amelia said turning to the woman. 'oblivate. Now explain." Amelia spat angrily after she returned for helping the woman in a taxi.
"It's just in good fun Amelia." Sirius said with a grin.
"JUST IN GOOD FUN?! Are you kidding me?" Amelia asked seething.
"I really don't see what the big deal is." Sirius said looking confused.
"You-You don't see the big deal? You are bringing MUGGLE women into a MAGICAL house with two CHILDREN, who not only don't know how to control their MAGIC but are very impressionable. How many time Sirius? How many times have you brought one back. How many times has Harry or Neville almost stumbled upon you with them? How many times have the boys seen these women do the walk of shame?" Amelia asked fighting to keep her calm.
"Amelia…." Sirius said staring at her.
"You didn't think did you? It is a wonder you don't get killed half the time. Do you ever think Sirius?" Amelia asked looking angry. Not noticing Remus enter the room.
"Amelia. I think you need to leave before you or Sirius say something that you will both regret." Remus said looking between the two of them.
"You're right Remus. Before I go Lucius Malfoy is harboring Bellatrix LeStrange. You need to call a family meeting so we can get Narcissa and Draco out. And if it comes to it, arrest Bellatrix.' Amelia said with a noise of frustration. 'To think I ever thought about marrying you." Amelia said glaring at Sirius. Turning Amelia stepped back through the flames, never seeing that Sirius looked like she had slapped him.
