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

C41 The beginning of the end.

Amelia was sitting behind her desk. she had known of the innocents of Sirius from the moment Bogrod had told them. So proving his innocence wasn't the big deal. No, the big deal was how to get Sirius to the ministry without the pureblood bigots under them blocking her at every corner. No, the best thing for her to do was at the monthly meeting on the first Monday of every month. That was this Monday and the best time to put them on the spot with Sirius.

She glanced over at the cabinet in the corner of her office, She gave a deep sigh and wondered if she could take a big glass of fire whiskey. She shook her head and thought about the one thing that frustrated her the most. Andromeda Tonks had something up her sleeve. It shouted marauder from every angle and Sirius knew about it.

With another deep sigh, she called for Auror Moody.

As the old Auror stepped into her office with his wooden leg thumping on the ground, he scanned the room as if anyone could attack him at any moment. "What do you want less," he asked as he stepped beside her desk so he could keep an eye on her and the door.

"I want you to go to Azkaban and get Sirius here, I want you to do it on Monday morning and do it so that no one knows about it".

"Less are you serious about this, that man is a mass murderer," Alastor told her.

"That is the problem, it was never proven that he did what everyone thinks he did, it might even be that he is innocent in all of this".

"So you are going to announce him free or what".

"No, I Know he is innocent, how I cannot tell you yet, but I'm planning on giving him the trial he was entitled to have. this way he can declare himself innocent in front of everyone".

"I Less, it will be done" and Madeye stepped out of the office.

Andrea was sitting with her mother at the kitchen table. Her father had taken Harry to the toyshop to get some little houses he could place around his own trainset.

"Mum," Andrea asked as she gave a deep sigh. "I received a letter from aunty last night and it told me that they would do it this Monday. I have to bring Harry just in case. I don't want to mum, what if they decide to take him away".

Silvia looked at her daughter. "You can't keep him away, Amelia knows that you have him, and if you do you would never be able to get him for yourself. But I would talk to the goblins. If they are really going to help you then they need to know about this".Andrea nodded and drank her tea. it was on that moment that there was a knock on the front door and they both sat up when they heard the voice of Andromeda.

Minerva had sent out a letter that morning telling her niece that the first meeting would be that Monday. Nou they wouldn't do anything important but it would still be the first time Amelia would bring up the new law about the abused kids. She gave a deep sigh and got up to her feet. She had promised Amelia she would go and tell Albus about it, he as chief warlock would have an ideal position to steer the new law in the right direction.

As she walked down the hallway towards the office of Albus she came to a stop in front of the gargoyle, it was there she had to think back at that morning in the office off Amelia.

Flashback.

"So we are clear to start on Monday," Augusta asked.

"Yes, Andromeda had had contact with Michel and the judge. At first, I didn't know why the judge wanted to be there but he handled the case so he could be of Help if I have to prove Harry has been abused. He could be a witness instead of Harry".

"Are you sure?" Minerva asked with a little hope.

"Well, not hundred percent but close to it," Amelia told her. "It was strange at first because the judge wanted to come to keep an eye on Albus. Apparently, he knew Albus from Hogwarts but he never explained why. It was something about the war with Grindelwald".

Augusta got a frown" Who was this judge".

"Judge McDowell" Amelia said as she looked at the file she had on the case of Harry.

"McDowell, Jack McDowell".

"Yeah, I think that was it".

Augusta got another frown on her face. "I remember him, He was this scrawny kid that was always hanging around Albus and that Gellert fellow. Merlin's beard that Gellert was Gellert Grindelwald the Darklord Albus killed. Well, this Jack was always hanging around them and one day he was gone. the story was that he lost his magic and that Gellert and Albus had been responsible".

This time it was Amelia who frowned. "Really, and was it ever proven that they did it".

"No, Jack was gone and it was said that he just went away and there was nothing Gellert or Albus had done".

Amelia looked at Augusta and frowned again. "I don't know why, but I do trust Albus, I can't say that I trust that Gellert guy because I don't know him".

"Don't, he was bad and it was written all over his face, I was the first year when they were in their six'st. But I knew that he was bad from the first moment I saw him" Augusta interrupted her.

"So, this Judge could be there to help us, or he is only there to do something to Albus," Amelia said before she turned to Minerva. "You have to tell Albus that we will call for the new law this Monday. If and when you are there you do not mention anything about this Judge, I'm not sure what his angle is but it means something".

end Flashback.

Minerva knocked on the gargoyle and wondered what this Monday would bring, and also if Amelia could keep Sirius away from the ministry and save.

A/N This was it again at this time. I do not know when the next one will be because it all depends on Bellatrix second chance. But I still hope you enjoyed this chapter.
