Hermione's P.O.V
I found Charlie playing Gobstones with Remus in the library, Sirius pacing the carpet and muttering under his breath angrily.
"Sirius, Remus, Char, I need to speak with you. Mind if I borrow a few minutes of your time?" I asked, stepping into the room. Sirius gave me a weary smile, his eyes betraying how stressed he was feeling.
I cast a Muffilato and a couple of anti eavesdropping charms as well as a subtle Repelling charm on the library room.
Charlie and Remus regarded me curiously at the number of protections I had done to ensure that I was not overheard.
"Well Hermione," spoke Remus, " you have our full attention. What can we do for you?"
I smiled and quickly gave them a run down of the last thirty minutes.
Sirius was awed at the fact that Harry was a Little and was ready to head down to Malfoy Manor to see him. Charlie was on board, saying that he never really bought into Dumbledore's Greater Good. Remus just wanted to be with his cub.
"Well then," I said with a grin, "Let's go."
I exited the fireplace, narrowly avoiding Sirius flying out and landing on the carpet. Remus and Charlie exited more smoothly and gracefully, and I stifled a laugh seeing the red mark on Sirius's forehead.
"Come on," I said, dusting off my jumper, "let's go see Harry."
Charlie took my hand as I led them through the small entry parlour and down to the family room where everyone most likely were.
I found a house elf dusting a bookshelf, and I asked him where Professor Snape and Lucius Malfoy were in the Manor.
"They is in the playroom Missy. Yes, little Master and friends is there too!" The elf squeaked.
I nodded and had the elf lead us there. I actually was a huge nursery, Draco's old one most likely.
I knocked on the door, and pushed it open. At once I was blasted with happy screaming, adults trying to maintain order and the crying of a Little.
Lucius was curled up on the ground with a tall, pale man who had dark brown hair lightly streaked with silver and red eyes, watching Draco and Ron play with some toy Quidditch players, while Professor Snape was changing Harry, who was screaming up a storm. I quickly spotted a drawer with a pacifier symbol on it and strode over to it. I opener it and picked out a pretty pink pacifier with the words "Mute Button" on it. I knew that Harry liked pink so I made my way over to where Professor Snape was struggling and popped the pacifier in Harry's mouth. At once his attention was diverted as he went adorably cross eyed looking at the pacifier in his mouth giving it an experimental suck. He seemed pleased since he began sucking in earnest and remained quiet.
"How'd you know to do that?" Professor Snape panted. I shrugged.
"Harry likes pink and I know all toddlers like pacifiers. I brought my mate and Harry's god fathers as you asked. I also gave them a rundown of the situation. Is there anything else we should know?"
"Not at present," Professor Snape replied, finishing up Harry's diaper and putting him in a blue onsie.
"Oh really?" I arched an eyebrow, "So who's the man cuddling with Mr Malfoy?"
"Oh that's one of his mates, Tom Riddle. Fenrir Greyback is the other one and he's at a pack meeting currently," he said nonchalantly. I openly gaped at him for a moment before looking around the room. I saw that none of the Littles nor my other friends seemed to be in any danger, and Mr Lucius seemed to be very comfortable against the man but anyone could turn on you in a second.
"Isn't he supposed to be the bad guy?" I said in a harsh whisper.
"That's where some trouble is occurring. Parts of my memories are missing and each time it happens Albus is near me," his eyebrows furrowed. Fudge, I though, memory charm most likely.
"We need to get to Gringotts then," I decided.
I walked over to Mr Malfoy, who was giving pointers to Ron in their game.
"Mr Malfoy, Mr Riddle, " I spoke, gaining their attention.
"Yes Miss Granger?" Lucius drawled.
"Professor Snape has experienced some inconsistencies in his memory, each time with the Headmaster near his person. Also I think all of us should go to Gringotts. You never know what a simple inheritance test could reveal," I turned my gaze meaningfully in Harry's direction. The only reaction I got was a slightly raised eyebrow but he nodded and stood, clapping his hands twice. Everyone looked over to him.
"Alright, now that I have your undivided attention, we shall be heading to Gringotts in ten minutes. Any Guardian with more than one Little can gain help from another person in an adult or grown mindset. Understood? Now, ten minutes, entry parlour," he strode out the room, Riddle following.
"Well," came Luna's voice. She had Neville on her hip as he snored lightly, "We heard the man. Let's go!"
