A Helping hand

C7 Letters and revelations.

It was ten in the morning when Minerva walked into the office of Amelia at the ministry, after some pleasantries they got to the reason why Minerva was there.

"Okay Minerva, tell me, what is this all about and what do you mean by Harry Potter is being abused".

"I really don't know Amelia, just look at these letters I got from my niece".

Amelia took the three letters and started to read them. Her face went from joy to surprise to finally end in one of horror. The last letter was almost slammed at the table. "Well, I can see why you are mad at Albus. However and this pains me to say, there is nothing I can do by just reading these letters".

Minerva got big eyes as she looked at Amelia.

"Don't get me wrong Mini; I do believe that something is very wrong there. I also think that it is our Harry Potter your niece has in her class. But like I said and it pains me to say it. There is not enough here in the letters to do something. So the only thing we could hope for is that your niece finds out more and enough for me to interfere".

"This is not what I want to hear Amy, there has to be something we can do".

"Well, there is nothing I can do for the situation Harry is in at this point. But we could try and find out what we could do for him here".

Minerva smiled "Something tells me you have already started".

"You know me to well" Amelia smiled back but then her face became serious. "Last night I started to wonder how Albus got a mail ward at his place. Those wards have to be monitored by the ministry. It also means that if it is a school or a post owl the mail has to be delivered at a pre predetermined place. So I went to the ministry and looked at the records".

"Good girl, " Minerva told her as she laughed.

Amelia smiled back. "Ye, I know".

Minerva raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you dare give me that look" Amelia scolded Minerva before she too started to laugh.

"Well as I looked at the records I found out that the mail was forwarded to Hogwarts. So all those letters had to be sent back or answered. None of the two things were, or are being done. I know this because my Susan has never received an answer on her letters and they were never sent back".

Minerva didn't really understand what Amelia was getting at.

Amelia saw it "Well it is very simple. Because the mail that is intended for Harry is going to Hogwarts. By doing this Albus has to answer it. Now I don't believe that he is doing it on intentionally but it is very negligent on his part. Now and this is the fun part because of his negligence I have the right to investigate what else has gone wrong".

"And you already went ahead, haven't you, " Minerva said.

"Like I told you before Mini, You know me so well".

Minerva just smiled.

"Wel, I did go over everything we know about Harry Potter. And that is nothing. His file turned out to be inaccessible to everyone except the chief warlock and the minister, now the minister at the time had been Minister Bagnold, but because he is no longer the minister. The head of the DLME and the new Minister of magic got all of his responsibilities. So I was able to look into the file".

"And, " Minerva asked eagerly.

"Nothing" Amelia answered. "Nothing at all, not even a note".

Minerva gave a deep sigh. "Wel, that's a bust. What can we do now? If what my niece is telling me is all true, then I don't want Harry to spend another minute there".

"Minerva please calm down. I know what you are thinking about but there is not much we can do from here. The only thing I can think of is to go to Gringotts".

"But Amelia they will never tell us anything they are very loyal to their customers especially if it comes to their secrets".

"Yes they are, But, and this is our ace. Every Lord or heir if they are the last survivor gets a statement of their accounts. And every time they have to send their reply. Even if it's only saying that they got it".

"Yes I know all this but what do you mean".

"Harry does not get his letters, so whoever is answering them is breaking the law. That is where I come in. I as the Head of the DLME can ask for answers".

"Great, so when do we go".

"We will go next week Minerva, it's dinner time at Hogwarts where you have to be".

"O in Merlin's name is it that time already. I'm sorry Amelia but I have to go".

Amelia laughed and saw how the always steady and strict Professor McGonagall started to go back to Hogwarts.

It was way past dinner time that Minerva got back into her own private chambers. She made her way over to her desk and started a new letter to her niece.

Dear Andrea.

I had a hard time to believe what you have told me. Like I said before, it's not that I do not believe you; I just have a hard time doing it.

After your letter, I went over to the headmaster to ask about Harry Potter. I personally did not get the chance to ask the questions that I wanted to know, but there was someone there who did the asking for me. And the things I heard were not pleasant.

Like I said all those years ago Albus did Obliviate the information about his home from my mind. He did it to protect Harry from the Followers of, He who must not be named.

Now it turned out that that is not all Albus has done. Apart from Obliviate the information from my mind, He is also keeping all the mail away from Harry. Now we do not know how much effect that will have on Harry but we are really dreading the outcome. A lot of people have and are sending him letters with thanks and good wishes. Some are even sending him money. Now the one who is keeping his mail behind is Albus Dumbledore. He is doing this because in this way he can protect him further. I´m not telling that it was the right thing to do but I do understand the reasoning behind it.

Now we cannot do anything from this side yet, but we are going to go to Gringotts next week to see what we could do from there. Like I said the abuse of a child is not a high priority in the wizarding world as it is in the Muggle world. But you have to go on and see what you can do. If we cannot help you, you could always do it the Muggle way.

Let me know how it goes on your side.
I love you Andrea.

Minerva McGonagall.
