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

A helping hand.

C17 D-Day.

It was the break after the first part of the day when Andrea saw Michel walking into her classroom. "Good day, Mr. Malfoy What can I do for you".

"Good day Miss McGonagall. You don't have to do anything for me. I'm here to tell you that I will go and look at the situation this evening. If it really is as bad as Harry said on the tape, then I'm sure it will be the last dinner heel ever has in that house. Now I know, I'm getting some help from the head of the DMLE, because someone will be with me when I go. Now the main reason why I'm here is to ask you if you wanted to come along tonight".

Andrea didn't have to think long about it. "Sure I want to come along. I don't know what will happen to Harry when you do it but. I want to be there for him.

Michel nodded. A thought inside him screamed that he had to put Andrea straight. He knew that she wanted to be there for Harry and also that she would be. But he also saw that she wanted more. If he was right he could swear that she subconsciously wanted to be his mother. However, in most cases, the one saving the child would never become the parent. Most of the time they ended up with an empty place in their hearts, "Well I will see you there around six o'clock. There we can see who else will come and what we will do before we go in. Just before Michel left he walked over to the window "Can you tell me which one is Harry potter".

Andrea frowned a little as she walked on over to him. "I thought you knew what he looked like. It is the one thing all wizards know".

Michel turned his head to her and shook it. "When the war was at its most dangerous part I had to hide because Muggleborn's and Squibs were hunted by everybody. So I went overseas to work at a Muggle farm in France. It was there that we heard that the boy who lived defeated He who must not be named. It was three weeks later that I returned but I wasn't welcome so I went into the Muggle world and you know the rest".

Andrea knew that a lot of Squibs had left the island for the mainland. Some of them traveled to France and Holland, but most of them went on to Canada and the USA. After the war, it was only a handful of Squibs that came back. So it turned out that Michel was one of them. "Look over there by the tree. It is the boy with the messy black hair".

Michel looked "Thank you I will see you tonight".

The moment Michel left the school he was followed by Hestia Jones under an invisibility cloak.

Andrea looked on as Michel walked away. She shook her head as she saw a ripple in de surroundings a couple of meters behind him. It must have been a trick of the light she thought to herself. Her gaze landed upon Harry and a little smile appeared on her face. "Tonight Harry, Tonight is the night you'll be free".

Around noon Amelia walked into the gates of Hogwarts. This was the day that they would go and see how Harry was living and if they could take him away from there.

Slowly she walked onto the steps of Hogwarts and entered the great corridor that went all the way down to the great hall. She knew that Mini had a free afternoon on Monday so she didn't want to wait until later that night.

With big steps, she walked into the great hall. All the students were eating their lunch and looked up when they saw her walking in. Most of them didn't know her and just looked up because they were curious about who had walked in.

"Ah Miss Bones what can I do for you today," Albus asked as he saw Amelia walking into the great hall and up to the head table.

"I'm sorry headmaster but there is nothing you could do for me. I'm here to take Minerva away for an afternoon full of shopping and a well-deserved dinner at a nice restaurant".

Minerva raised an eyebrow but knew that Amelia had a reason to say something like that.

"I didn't know Minerva liked to do things like that" Albus said with a smile.

"Well maybe it isn't the thing she likes but the company that goes with it" Amelia responded.

Minerva smiled as she got to her feet. "Let's go to my office so I can change into something more appropriate for our trip, " She told her as she made her way around the table.

A Slytherin boy started to whistle but almost choked when he saw the stern look both Amelia and Minerva gave him.

Back in her office, Minerva turned to Amelia. "Wel, I do not think you came here to ask me out on a date".

Amelia blushed a little. "Well I do have to admit that I kind of fancied you when you were my Professor but I don't think I swing that way".

"Minerva kissed Amelia on her forehead "I'm glad, neither do I and I don't think it's appropriate for a professor to date a student". She smiled again "So why is it you came here so early".

"Well, I thought we could grab a bite to eat first so we could talk about tonight, but also go over there and see for ourselves if we can find something out for ourselves".

Minerva knew exactly what Amelia wanted to do and changed into her Muggle outfit. "I heard of a little café that is very close to the place we have to be".

"Sounds great, let's go over there and see what else there is to see".

It was five thirty when Andrea walked into Privet drive. As she passed the house at nr Thirty-two she looked at what else there was to see in the street. It was a little further on that she saw a woman appear from underneath an invisibility cloak. Next to the woman was a tabby cat that turned into her aunt.

"See Amelia like clockwork. Every husband comes home at five thirty and is expecting Dinner at six".

Amelia nodded and wanted to say something but she was interrupted.

"Aunty what are you doing here and who is this".

Both Minerva and Amelia turned around. They were a little startled and were looking with a defiant look at the young woman that was speaking to them. "Andrea, what in Merlin's name are you doing here".

"Nice to see you to Aunty" and Andrea stepped forward and hugged her aunt.

Minerva hugged her niece back and turned around to Amelia. "Amelia this is my niece Andrea McGonagall. She has been the one who started this whole thing".

Amelia gave her a quick gaze and nodded her head.

"Andrea, this is Amelia Bones, she is the head of the DLME. She is the one who unraveled the things we know in the magical world. Things I hope to tell you after tonight's events" And Minerva pointed at Amelia. "She will also be the one we go to when all of this is done, to her and the Goblins".

"I can understand that Aunty but what are you doing here now".

"Wel, I think I'm here for the same reason you are here. Tonight is the night Amelia and this Malfoy man get Harry the hell out of there and I want to be there to just to, well you get the idea".

A/N: This was it again at this time. See you all in the next chapter.
