A/N: Thank you all for the reviews.
Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.
One question, in comparison to my writing style in Bellatrix second chance it this better, worse or the same.
A helping hand.
C12 Ten complaints and nothing is done.
At five o clock on a Friday afternoon, Andrea put down the phone in her little house. She could not decide if she should be irritated or plain mad.
The call she had just made had been with the local child protection services. At first, they were very helpful and full of information. But on the moment she told them that the boy about whom she called was named Harry Potter they got very snappy.
"I'm very sorry Miss but there is nothing wrong with a boy named Harry Potter. We have been to his home for about ten times. There is nothing there to report he is a very good and healthy boy and will turn into a wonderful boy".
"I'm sorry mister but have you ever seen Harry Potter, or have you been the one to investigate the accusations on your own".
"Miss, please, don't get so mad. We take the abuse of children very seriously but".
"Are you really, are you really taking it seriously? Tell me, if you know so much about Harry potter. Could you then tell me where all his scars come from"?
The voice on the other side of the line became very quiet. Andrea didn't know what to say but she heard a lot of papers being rustled on the other side. Suddenly the voice sounded again. "Miss there are no reports of any scars whatsoever".
"Are there reports that tell you that anyone has spoken to Mr. Potter personally? " Andrea asked a little hotly.
After another five minutes of rustling, the voice said "Sorry Miss but there aren't any".
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL DOING DOWN THERE" Andrea screamed. "DO YOU STEP IN THE CAR, DO A DRIVE BY AND THEN SAY YOU HAVE LOOKED".
"Please Miss".
"NO,".
"Miss".
"I want to speak with the head office in London. I don't know what you are doing down there, but it is clear to me that it isn't much".
"Miss".
"I said NO, just put me through to the head office".
The voice on the other side did try for another time but Andrea had none of it. It wasn't long after that that the voice said they could not put her through but they would tell them to call her.
Just before Andrea threw the horn on the phone she told them you better tell them to do it quickly, or I will report your office to the head office.
It was not long after that phone call that a frustrated Andrea walked through her own little apartment. She was screaming bloody murder to no one and at everyone at the same time.
Just when she was about to blame everyone for another round the phone rang again, "Andrea speaking".
"Hello miss, Is this Andrea McGonagall".
"Yes, this is her".
"Hello miss I just got a phone call from the office in little Whinging, Is it okay if I speak freely because the phone call was a little disturbing to me".
Andrea didn't really know what this person meant by those words so she asked about it. "I'm really sorry Sir but who are you, and why are you calling me". Andrea did have a good idea but she had to hear it for herself.
"My apologies miss, my name is Malfoy and I'm the head of the child welfare Office in London. The thing that disturbed me a little is the name, Harry Potter".
Andrea heard the way he said Harry Potter and knew that this man knew more. It gave her another problem. Does this man know about the magical world, if so was he on the good side or the bad side, because the last thing she wanted was to hand over Harry to a follower of the dark lord. "I do not know why the name would worry you; Mr. Potter is just a normal abused boy". It was hard for Andrea to say that about Harry but she had to be cautious.
"Miss McGonagall Please, I know all about the Boy who lived and I'm shocked that he is in the Muggle world".
"Are you a".
"No, Miss I'm a squib, I was disowned by my family. But I do know all about the Boy who lived and my guess is you do to".
"How do I know that you are not working for you know who, " Andrea asked with a little hesitation in her voice.
"Miss I know what you think but I'm working for the ministry, I have nothing to do with the Dark Lord. I owe my life to that boy. I was hunted down because I was a squib. My own Family disowned me after the war. During the war, I had to hide from them because they wanted to sacrifice me for their Lord. So if that boy hadn't done what he had done I would still be in hiding".
Andrea heard the words but she was still very skeptic about the intentions of the Malfoy person on the other side of the line.
"Now Miss McGonagall, in order for me to help you I have to know what you have found out so far. With that, I have to make out a report with which I can take legal steps, but it will also give me a clearing to investigate his living arrangements. Now I know that you might have your doubts about me but let me make myself clear. I work for the Muggle and Magical Governments. In both cases, I find abused kids and help them to get a better life. Now because in this case, it will be about the boy who lived I will ask a magical vow if and only if I inform the magical government, this because we want to keep him safe in both cases".
After another little hesitation, Andrea decided to go with it. It couldn't get any worse for Harry then it was now. "Okay but I want to be there whenever you go to Harry or to his family".
"That I can do" Mr. Malfoy answered her.
So Andrea started to tell him everything about what she knew about Harry. The suspicions she had and the facts she already knew. However, in the end, it still wasn't enough. Mr. Malfoy believed her but he had to have more. He also gave her some suggestions about what she had to look at and what to write down.
As she put down the phone for the second time she had a much better feeling than she had an hour ago. It was clear what she had to do so the following week she would gather all the information she needed and make a final stand to save Harry.
That night she was again sitting behind her desk. With a quill in her hand, she started another letter to her aunt.
Dear Aunty Minerva.
I have to tell you something difficult. I now know that you can't do anything from there, but I'm not sitting down. I have contacted the child welfare Office in London and ask them to help me.
Now at this point, they are agreeing with me that my Harry is being abused. The problem, however, is that they don't have enough to get him out. So I have to get more evidence.
The reason that they don't have enough evidence themselves is because they never got close enough to gather it themselves. This tells me that there has to be some kind of Muggle repelling charm on the house. So again it is because of the protection of Harry or someone is protecting themselves from it ever getting out.
Now I do have found myself some help and I'm a little worried about it. This person works for the child welfare office in London and asked me to get the rest of the evidence, which I will. Now the thing that worries me is that he is a Squib. Now I know that I was not raised to judge but his name is Malfoy. And something about that name worries me. He says he works for the ministry but I just don't know.
That said, he will help me and he will do nothing without me being there with him. I hope you can go on and find something to help from the magical world but until that time I will do what I can from this side.
I love you Aunty
Andrea McGonagall.
A/N: This was it again at this time. I do not know when the next update will be but like always it will be within two weeks.
