A/N Thank you all for the reviews. It is really nice to hear that most of you enjoy this story so much.
Sure my English is not the best there is and I might use some of the wording in the wrong way. But know that for many writers among us, this is just a hobby to past the time. we write these stories for ourselves and to entertain you all. I do appreciate the criticism you give me even the bad ones because I can only learn. I still hope you will enjoy my stories and the many jewels that are on this site even if they are a little rough. Harry Potter is not mine this is a story from a fan.

C39 The meeting of the Blacks part 3.

As Andrea was on her way to Gringotts with Harry. Silvia and Alex were sitting on a boat that floated towards Azkaban.

Silvia stood a little closer to Alex as the cold of the Dementors was starting to swallow up the boat. "We are doing the right thing aren't we," Silvia asked in a whisper while the boat glided closer.

Alex pulled her closer against his chest as he wrapped his arm protectively around her. "We are doing this for Harry, and the feeling you are feeling now, are the dementors that are close by. Yes, dear, I have them to".

Silvia shivered a little and waited until the boat came to the dock on the other side. "Well here we go, I only hope that he will remember me".

"He will," Alex told her "Maybe not right away but he will just tell him about Dorea and Harry".

"You are not going with me," she asked.

"I'm not allowed to".

It was early in the morning when both Minerva and Augusta stepped into the office of Amelia. They were both summoned by her and didn't have a clue about what it was about. As the hesitated a bit they sat down and waited for Amelia to say what she had to say.

Amelia who had waited began to get a little nervous. She had some good news and bad. Well, it wasn't really bad news but it was more troublesome. "Thank you, both for coming here. I have some news and I hope it will all work out. Let me start with the good news".

Minerva was shifting a little while Augusta just gazed intently at Amelia.

"I have been to Andromeda Tonks and she agreed to help us on a couple of conditions," Amelia said as she went on to tell them about her meaning with Andromeda. "So that is what we agreed on. The only thing I have left to do is to go to Sirius Black and see what he tells me and if it is the same what he will tell the informant of Andromeda. The one thing that is the troublesome bit is that I don't have a clue who this informant is and if he or she could be trusted.

"Now the bad news is that I have written a letter to Andrea but have yet to hear if she will agree to let us use Harry as an example of the new law".

It was now that Minerva spoke up. "I will go to Andrea this afternoon and talk to her about it. It is not something for her to not reply to a letter".

Amelia nodded and stood while she grabbed her back. "Okay, then I will make my way over to Azkaban and see what Sirius will tell us. With little luck, I will see the informant Andromeda had sent for herself".

Augusta stood and went to the door. "I will go to the other offices and see if I can get some more supporters of our new law. If we are lucky we can keep Harry out of it all".

The three of them said there goodbye's and went on there way.

Silvia looked over her shoulder and saw how Alex smiled as he waived to her while she made her way down the row of cells to the one cell that was occupied by Sirius Black. As she walked down the row of cells she could not help herself from not gazing into the other cells. In the first, she saw this Rodolphus Lestrange. It was the one name she had heard about and also read about. He together with his brother and another man but also her niece, have driven one of the childhood friends of her daughter insane. Alice Longbottom together with Lily Potter had shown her the magical world in a way they themselves couldn't have.

As she walked on, she came by another cell. She didn't recognize the person but the name told her it was the brother of this Rudolphus guy. It brought her back to the day they heard Alice had been tortured into madness. Andrea had broken down as she thought about her friends from Hogwarts. But the hardest thing to wrap her mind around was the fact that two little boy's had become orphans in only three days.

As she passed the next cell she knew that this jr. was the third person who tortured Alice. Her mind went back yet again. The only thing that brought her daughter some piece was when she heard that little Neville would be cared for by his grandmother and Harry by his aunt and uncle. Only for Harry, it turned out to be the worst thing that could have happened to him.

Silvia shook her head and went on. The next cell she walked by made her gasp. There in the corner sat her own niece. "Bellatrix".

Bellatrix was looking at the ceiling before she turned her eyes to Silvia. "Look a familiar face. I know who you are" Bellatrix told her in a sweet and normal voice. "It's the rabbit hopertye hopperty. You were my aunt were you not. MURDERERS" Bellatrix screamed as she slammed her body against the bars of her cell. One arm outstretched to Silvia with a hand grabbing nothing but air. "MURDERERS GOBLINS, Guard, guard I cot one come get them".

"Please miss, walk on, or she will never shut up," the guard told Silvia from his spot at his desk.

Silvia stepped back and went on to the last cell on the block. She swallowed a little as she looked at the men that sat in the corner looking at her with focused eyes. "Who the hell are you" he snapped.

Silvia swallowed again. This man her nephew sounded clear and sane. Not at all as her niece. "My name is Silvia McGonagall but you might remember me as Lyra Dorea Black".

Sirius rushed to the bard and took a good look at the woman that was standing in front of him. His mind went back but he didn't remember this woman. "I don't remember you, or I just don't know you. What do you want" he snapped?

Silvia took another step back. Her eyes wandered to the left as she looked at her niece. Bellatrix who had gone completely mad. Her eyes went back to Sirius as he gave him a calculated look. Sirius didn't go mad, he sounded as sane as the day he went in. "Do you remember aunt Dorea".

The eyes of Sirius were of recognition as he heard the name of the woman who became his mother in all but blood. "Don't you talk about her or I will kill you".

"Don't you snap at me, young man. I will speak of my sister as much as I want".

Sirius pulled his head back. "Sister, aunt Lyra". He took another step back and slumped to his knees. "That's it I'm going mad, I finally starting to see things like that deranged cousin of my in the next cell. "BELLA I'M JOINING YOU, I'M GOING MAD".

Silvia stepped to the bars and lowered her self to be at eye level with Sirius. "Siri, you are not going mad, I'm aunt Lyra for you".

Sirius snapped his head up and looked at Silvia. "You lived with aunt Dorea, you went out a week after I got there with James".

"Yes Sirius, do you remember," Silvia asked him.

Sirius nodded slowly as tears started to fill his eyes. "You are the first to come to me. The first I have seen in two years. The first since I have been here".

Silvia shook her head, "Sirius, you have been here for seven years".

The eyes of Sirius became big. "Sev..seven ye..years, Harry, how is Harry, where is Harry. Tell me he is with Remus or Alice".

Silvia shook her head slowly.

"Please tell me he isn't with Petunia, Lily always told us she would mistreat him".

It was now that tears started to escape the eyes of Silvia. "He was Sirius, he was. But he is with my daughter now, She is a wonderful mother but she can't keep him".

The head of Sirius snapped up. "What why, she is family maybe distant but still family".

"No Sirius she is not, I was cast out because I'm a squib, and the only way to get him as family, is to get reinstated".

"Good luck with that, No Lord Black will reinstate a squib".

"You are Lord Black Sirius, you are still in the family tree, and you are the last of the male line".

Sirius didn't say a thing and just gaped at her.

Silvia gave him a small smile. To become a black you have to get the title, for that, I have to get you out of here. So tell me all about it. Why and how you ended here". And Sirius started to tell her the whole story.

Amelia got off the boat and went into the little office. There she signed in and asked if there had been anyone to visit the high-security wing.

"yes, there was,"the guard said. "A man and a woman who came here to visit Sirius Black. The just left" and the guard pointed at the boat that was making his way back to shore.

Amelia rushed out of the office and straight to the dock. "Merlin's beard, why can't I ever be in front of them".

This was it again at this time. Greetings Winmau.
