A/N Thank you all for the reviews and for sticking around this long. As I have already told in my other story My computer told me to do it all by my self so I had to go out and get another one. I had backup files of everything except this chapter which I have rewritten today.
Like always this will be a slow update because Bellatrix's second chance will come first. This said. Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
C43 the final preparation before the Wizengamot.
It was Sunday evening at dinner time when Amelia was walking up a driveway with her niece next to her. Andromeda had told them to come here but never said why. she did tell them that it could be the key to make it all go their way. As Amelia was slowly walking to the door she heard a voice behind her.
"Amelia, nice to see you too, do you have any idea why Andromeda asked us to come here".
Amelia turned around and saw Augusta and Neville walking up to them. "Hi Augusta, I have no Idea but I do know that this is the house of someone we have to meet, so it has to be very important".
Augusta nodded and stepped next to her as Amelia knocked on the door.
It wasn't long after that that Andromeda opened the door and asked them to come in. As they stepped into the hallway they heard a squeal from Susan as she spotted Harry standing next to Andrea. she rushed passed them and took him into a hug.
While the others followed her in Neville quickened his pace and stepped next to Susan and Harry as Harry asked the one thing he wanted to do. "Mr, Alex, could I show them the trains in the basement".
Andrea raised her eyebrows when Harry asked her father something he would never allow. Nobody could go down to his trains while he wasn't there.
"Sure Harry go right ahead".
The jaw of Andrea dropped to the floor as she heard her father telling Harry it was okay. "who are you and what have you done with my father".
Alex just laughed at his daughter as Silvia took him into a hug.
Amelia just gaped at all of them as they looked around the room. there they saw Andromeda, Ted, Minerva, and Andrea. But they also saw two people they didn't know.
Andromeda took both of their hands and guided them to a chair. "please let me introduce you to Alex Mc Gonnagall and Silvia Magonagall/ Nee Black if we get her reinstated".
Amelia dropped into a chair with a big huff. "You two have been the two who kept escaping me. You were there in the ministry asking for the office for family records and then in that restaurant. But also that day at Azkaban".
Silvia had to think a little about it before she nodded. "Yes, I do remember you from the ministry. I also thought I saw you sitting in a restaurant but then remembered that no witch would ever go to a muggle place, my bad. However, I don't remember seeing you at Azkaban but with all those dementors around, I was glad to get out of there".
Amelia nodded and turned back to Andromeda. "Well, I asked you all here to tell you how I want to do it this coming Monday".

While Andromeda was explaining everything to the others, Albus was sitting behind his desk looking at a picture of the order of the Fenix. It was the same picture every one of the order had gotten from Lily. He saw them all smiling and was sad as he looked at all the members he had lost in the war. Lily, James, Peter. But also Alice and Frank, sure they weren't dead yet but the might as well be, If you knew about the state they were in.
He looked at Lily as a small tear escaped his eye. She and Selina Lovegood had been the two unspeakable's he had in the order. they had been of great value for them in their war against Voldemort. it had been them who had found out about his Horcruxes and were trying to find them without anyone knowing about it.
Selina had still been working on it until one of her experiments went wrong. She had also been the only one who knew about the Horcrux behind the scar of Harry. But in the years after the war she had never found a way to get it out of him and now with her gone, he had to do it all by himself.
His eyes went over the picture but it went back to Lily and James. It was now that he thought about little Harry Potter. How could he have been so wrong? How could he have been so blind to what was happening to this wonderful boy? He even remembered that one time when one of his instruments told him the Harry was in danger. On that day he took his Fenix and Finixfired himself near Harry. It was Christmas night when he found him wandering the streets of the neighborhood.
Harry did tell him that he was just looking around and that he wasn't allowed to go back because they had a party. He however in all his wisdom had brought him back and ordered him to stay there.
While he was thinking back, he now knew that he had made the wrong decision. It made him wonder about the other things he had done. He had been there when.
It was now that he started to blink. Lily and James went into hiding. it was in the town he had been born, He also knew where they had been hiding. They must have been hiding under a Fidelius charm but who did it. who had been the one who placed them under it and who knew about it. Sirius knew about it and had screamed that he had been the one who had betrayed them. but as the thought about it, he remembered Sirius as the closest friend of James. he would never betray them, they were his family ever since he went and lived at the Potters.
As he looked at the clock he saw that it was way past midnight. If Amelia wanted to do something she had to do it tomorrow, and if he was right then Sirius could have been innocent all this time.
With a jump, he got out of his headmaster's chair and rushed to his floo to go to the ministry to save the day and help Amelia in the only way he could and that was to gather all the information he thought she could need.
The first thing he did was the give the order to the guard that he was there as the chief warlock and by his own authority, he gave himself permission to gather all the information he needed even the things that were sealed by him and the others.
The second thing he did was to go to the Office of records. that was the place he would find all the information about Sirius Black. He search for the file on the case of Sirius but there wasn't any. He shook his head and looked for the family tree of the blacks but as he took the file he could see that two other people had been looking for them. he again shook his head as he wondered who they were.
However, there was nothing he could do about it now, so he went to his warlock office to have a look at the black family tree. As he came to the door he saw a children's storybook lying on the desk of his secretary. *Harry Potter and the firebreathing Dragon* ^O no, they didn't^ he thought. Lucius had asked him if they could make those storybooks to make some money. He had told him that he had to think about it but didn't see a problem with it. However, he hadn't given them an answer so to see this book was a smack in his face.
As he slumped down behind his desk he had two thoughts running through his mind. one he hoped that Amelia had her case ready
and the second was that Minerva would never see these books.
This was it again at this time. I hope you enjoyed it and see you all next time.
Gr Winmau.
