A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. Harry potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.

A helping hand.

C14 Amy and Mini.

Amelia looked at the closed door. A little smile crawled over her face. She always knew that the McGonagall clan had brains. But Andrea was a mountain of her own, she had perseverance, a drive that was unstoppable and on top of that, she was an exceptional person. So Amelia got up and made her way out of her office.

"O director Bones" the secretary called. "Minister Fudge wanted to see you; he said that it was something about the Boy who lived".

Amelia stopped in her tracks and looked at her secretary. "When was this".

"Just now, while you were in a meeting with that nice gentleman. He came to me and told me that when you were done you had to go to him. He said something about the boy who lived and that he needed you for that.

"That bumbling fool" The moment Amelia said it, she looked into a mirror and thought déjà vu. "Cancel all my appointments for today Kathy, I have a meeting with our esteemed minister," Amelia said with a little disgust in her voice as she too left the office.

Fudge was walking from left to right. He had just said goodbye to Lucius who had been there for a very important meeting. In that meeting, he had a very nice conversation that could bring in a lot of money. The problem, however, was a boy that went by the name of Harry Potter.

Now Fudge didn't know much about all the legal stuff and that was why he needed Amelia. As head of the DLME, she knew all about the ins and outs of the law. So he took it upon himself to go and see her in her office. It was there that he heard that she was in a meeting. "Tell Amelia to come to me when she is done with her meeting. Tell her it has to do with the boy who lived".

It was an hour later that Amelia walked into the office of minister Fudge. "Minister you wanted to talk to me, " she said as she walked into the door.

"Ah yes Amelia, thank you for coming please take a seat".

Amelia took the seat in front of his desk and was wondering what he wanted with Harry. The last thing she wanted to hear was that he knew all about the abuse of the boy. She also knew that if that was the case, then it was a sure thing that Lucius would also know all about it and that was the last person she wanted to know".

"Wel, I wanted to ask you about some things concerning the boy who lived".

Here we go, Amelia, thought to herself.

"Well, Lucius and I were thinking about using Harry as our poster boy. You know to come and work for the ministry, even Harry thinks it's great. We also wanted to make a series of adventure books that are all about Harry. You know so the little ones could sleep nicely after a bedtime story. If that sells we could also make posters and dolls and that kind of stuff. It could make the ministry a lot of money".

"Very interesting idea minister, now please tell me how much money do you and Lucius make out of all of this".

Fudge swallowed hard. "Well, Amelia it's not like you think. Sure we do make some money, but that will be nothing compared to what the ministry will make".

"How much minister, because I don't think you wanted me here to discuss the lowlife plans you and Lucius concocted between you two".

Fudge again had to swallow hard. "Well yes Lucius and I will make some money from it, even Rita Skeeter will make some money because she will be writing the adventure books. That is also why she will get her share. I also know that she already has three books ready to be printed. Now my question is, am I allowed to do this. You see with me as minister and all".

Amelia rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I hate to admit it but it is allowed. But I do wonder, does Harry Potter receive his share of the money".

Cornelius rubbed his hands together in a nervous way. It was a habit he always did when he had done something that wasn't really right. "Well, Lucius said that he talked to Albus about it. Because he is his magical guardian as you well know. Now the thing is that Albus told Lucius that Harry didn't really need the money so he wouldn't need his share".

"How nice of him to tell you that" Amelia sneered a little. "I only hope that Harry will see it the same way when he reaches his maturity". Amelia stood and walked away. Just praying to Merlin himself, that Andrea McGonagall would not find out before she could tell her herself because something told her that this McGonagall wouldn't let it go unpunished.

Minerva was reading the last letter for the second time. She could not help but smile as she read it again. She was very proud of her niece. Not only was she defending a young boy from an abusive treatment. But she was single-handedly taking on the wizarding world. The world that would not take it well when they realized that it was a squib that was saving their hero and that it wasn't a pureblood.

Minerva laid the letter back down on her desk and started to get to her feet so she could make her way over to the office of the headmaster. It was there that she would have another talk about Harry Potter. With all the information she now had she wanted to make sure that if Andrea would take on the wizarding world that there would be nothing in her way.

"AH Minerva, come on in" sounded the voice of Albus from the other side of the door.

Minerva walked into the office and sighed deeply. Behind the desk sat Albus Dumbledore in his favored robe, a very colorful pink robe with twinkling stars all over it. She shook her head as she knew he was the only one who would think that it was still in fashion. "Albus I want to talk to about Mr. Potter again".

"Minerva, I already told you that Mr. Potter is doing fine. He will turn into a wonderful boy and you will see it for yourself when he gets here when he turns eleven".

"But Albus you have already admitted to us that you didn't check up on him. So how can you sit there and say that he is growing up to be a fine boy".

"Minerva, be reasonable, he is with his family so what could go wrong. I'm positive that they will love him just like they will love their own little boy".

"Are you really sure about all of that Albus? I would hate for you to be wrong".

"Minerva Harry will be fine. We will see him when he gets here".

Minerva nodded and left the office. In the hallway, she was thinking one thing. Albus, you made a terrible mistake. I know you mean well but this time you messed with the wrong McGonagall. After that thought, she thought about the little note she had gotten from Amy. Her niece was doing fine and was way ahead of them all.

When she got back in her office Minerva took out her quill and started to write another letter to her niece.

Dear Andrea.

You go and do what you have to do. I did have a talk with Albus just a moment ago and he is still convinced that Harry is well-taking care off. He thinks that him being with his family is not bad at all.

Now I know that what you have seen is enough to know that Harry isn't well-taking care of. So like I said in my last letter do what you have to do.

"Minerva are you alone and can I come through" Sounded the voice of Amelia from the fireplace.

Minerva looked up and saw the face of Amelia sticking out from her fireplace. "Hello Amelia, please come through I'm all alone here".

Amelia stepped out of the fireplace and gave Minerva a big hug. "Hi, Mini I have something to tell you". And she started to place a lot of anti-listening spells, silencing wards and all that kind of stuff.

"That important" Minerva said with a laugh.

Amelia smiled back and started to tell her all about her meeting with Michel. After that, she started to tell her about the meeting with Fudge.

"So Albus thinks it is okay for him to decide about his money, wonder what he would say if I tell him that we know about it all".

"You can't do that Mini, not yet anyway".

"But Amy we can't let him get away with this, we have to do something".

"Yes I know Mini but not now. We have to let it happen. If we say something now, they would know all about the fact that we now have contact with Harry. It would also mean that Lucius would take his chance and use it to his advantage. That way we could lose all the advantage we already have".

It hurt Minerva to admit it but Amy was right. They first had to get Harry to safety and with his new magical guardian before they could take on the wizarding world.

As Minerva folded the letter she nodded and laid her head in her hands. "Why does it have to take so long".

Amelia laid her hand on the shoulder of Amelia. Next week Mini, next week we will get him out of there. Andrea is going to get all the evidence we need to investigate at the house. When I go I will tell you all about it". It was then that Amelia said goodbye and left the office of Minerva.

A/N: This was it again for this week.
