A/N: This story is not mine this is a story from a fan. Yes I know the last chapter was a tease but I couldn't resist, Sorry. I do hope this will make it up to you all. Enjoy.

A helping hand.


C 20 to the rescue.


Amelia looked straight at Michel as he talked to Petunia Dursley. She gave him a Good look and didn't really know what to think of him. Maybe it was because he was a Malfoy and maybe that was also why she didn't really trust him.

Petunia was a completely different story. She never knew her personally but heard a lot of stories about her from Lily. One thing was sure; she didn't like her at all.

"You, you left that freak here, never asked or considered that we never wanted him," Petunia said as she pointed her finger somewhere.

Amelia was a little startled when Petunia pushed her hand between them. Or it was because the slap she heard from behind her. She quickly turned her head around and saw Andrea jumping from left to right. She was holding one hand and was waving the other around in pain. The reason why was lying on the ground next to Minerva and was holding his bleeding nose.

She turned around so she could hide her smile without a lot of difficulties. Albus deserved it and Andrea was the one who could get away with it. "Misses Dursley If we could, we would like to talk to you inside the house".

Petunia looked around and over to the cupboard. She gave a little sigh of relieve because the freak hadn't given a sign that he was in there. "Okay but only you to. The old man stays outside".

Michel and Amelia Nodded and started to walk after Petunia.

Vernon, who had got back up to his feet, was already in the kitchen.

Just two steps into the hallway Amelia stumbled and tapped the lock on the cupboard when she went down. The door swung open and Amelia faked a look of surprise when she looked into the cupboard. Her look turned into one of hate when she looked up at Petunia.

Petunia looked from the cupboard to Amelia with a shocked look on her face. "We never wanted him" she screamed.

Amelia didn't say anything and just turned to the little boy that was trying to make himself a permanent part of the back wall. "Hello, young man, my name is Amelia".

Harry had his eyes almost closed because of the hallway light and gazed over at Amelia. He didn't know who this woman was but he had seen her in the front and back garden. It was there that he had seen her waving a stick around. He didn't know her and he didn't trust her at all. He shook his head and pushed himself further against the wall.

Amelia stretched her hand out, slowly towards him but Harry kept on pushing himself back into the back wall.

Amelia pulled back her hand and pushed herself away from the cupboard. "Steve, arrest the two adults in the kitchen and take the other boy back to the station. Kingsley get over here and arrest Albus Dumbledore. I don't know what his role in all of this is but he has been the one who placed Harry Potter in this house.

Michel looked at it all and saw a Police officer turn into an Auror. "You did it again, don't you trust me at all" he screamed.

"Honestly, NO," Amelia said. "You are still a Malfoy, and you only started to believe this story when I got involved. Before that, you haven't done enough to help him. If you looked at all the reports, you could have seen that in every report that has been made that there hasn't been one conversation with the Dursleys. That alone should have told you that there wasn't done anything to help him".

"But".

"No, butts" and Amelia gave a pointed look. "I have looked over the files Auror Jones gave me."It is written in Black and White that there has never been a conversation with the two Dursleys nor has there even been a talk with Mr. Potter himself. Now I can understand the first two times, but with ten similar reports, I know that someone has been sleeping on the job. Now I also know that it wasn't you but it is still a big problem for me".

Michel thought for a little and nodded. He hadn't looked at the reports he only reacted at the name Harry Potter. He always hated it when he was cast out of the family. So the first thing he thought was this could be the way to get back at them. "I'm sorry".

"Don't be, there is a six-month gap between you and the last report. So it happened before you took your position. You, on the other hand, took the initiative to contact me and put the Muggles in motion".

Michel nodded but had lost the conversation when he saw Harry trying to get out of the cupboard. But the moment he looked at him he could see Harry running back in and trying to become one with the wall again. It was now that Michel learned how bad it has been for Harry. For a boy to hide away from every adult, meant that he had been hurt by a lot of them in many ways.

So he kneeled down and tried to get Harry out of the cupboard. But just like Amelia before him, Harry tried to become one with the back wall. "I hate this, I'm going to grab him".

Just as Michel was about to put his hand on Harry he was pulled back by Amelia. She pulled him back into the living room.

"What. Why did you pull me away".

"He doesn't trust you now. What the hell do you thing he does when you pull him out of there with force".

"Ohh".

"What we need now, is someone he does trust" and Amelia started to look around for who that could be".

"Afelia fo fou fink I fould Have a ford fit farry".

Amelia turned around and saw Albus standing behind her with his hand on his nose. She kept herself from smiling, mostly because she didn't know what he said. "What was that".

"Fo fou fink I fould Have a ford fit farry".

Her eyes became big, "Are you crazy, you have been the one who placed him here. Now I'm not sure what your role in all of this has been, but you are the last I one I would let near him".

Albus turned his eyes to the floor. He didn't know what he had done but knew that Amelia blamed him for it. The only thing he didn't understand was why Harry was locked up in a cupboard.

*#*

Andrea who had seen it all snuck behind Amelia and into the little hallway. She had heard the stories from Harry but she had to swallow when she saw the size of the cupboard. She kneeled down so she was at the same height as Harry. "He Harry, how are you doing?"

Harry was still trying to become one with the wall when he heard the voice of Andrea talking to him. He looked up and stared at her in disbelieve.

It unsettled Andrea for a little bit and knew that she had to wait for him.

"I… I… Thought you weren't coming," Harry said in a little voice as he pushed himself back further against the wall.

"Harry," Andrea said softly. "I told you I would help you, I promised you I would, so why would you think I wasn't coming".

Harry started to fiddle with his feet. "Nobody ever did. My mum who was a slut left me here. My drunken father who didn't want me, I don't know why but then they all died. Then there were the adults I ask for help who told me they would tell the police but they never came".

Andrea sat back a little. This was the first time Harry said something about his mother. Only the things he said were nothing like the Lily she knew. "Harry why do you think you mother was a slut".

Harry shrugged his little shoulders. "I don't know what it means but my aunt always said she was a slut and my father a drunk. They had no jobs and they didn't love me at all. So I was left here because they didn't want me, then they killed themselves in a car crash".

Andrea hurt the words and had to shake her head again. She was sure James and Lily loved him but he just didn't know because of all the lies that were told. "Come Harry; let's get you out of here".

Harry stepped forward and looked around the edge of the cupboard wall. He could see the front door and the police officer that was looking at him. He immediately went back into the cupboard.

Andrea saw him looking and knew that he was scared. "Come Harry I will stay with you".

"Can't I stay with you for always" Harry whispered.

There was the hope again, it all showed in his little emerald green eyes. "I.. I don't know Harry. That will be something that Miss Bones has to decide. But until then I will be with you".

"You promise".

"Yes, Harry, I promise," Andrea said. She only hoped that Amelia would let Harry stay with her or her with Harry. She had to ask her later. Now it was Harry who she had to think about".

It was then that they all saw Harry for the first time. He was way too small and hiding behind Andrea as if it was the only person he knew while he was in a different country.


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