A/N Thank you all for the review and the patience for the updates. As Always Bellatrix second chance will come first but I will not forget about this story as you can see.

C54 Is this a dream or not 1

Andrea could hardly believe the thing this man had just told her. He didn't say that she would get Harry but he had given her more hope than she had before. She could not help it but tears were slowly falling from her eyes and down her cheeks.

"Mum, why are you crying," Harry asked her in his small and worried voice.

Croaker looked at it and gave a small smile. He could already see the love between the two of them and that was all a family was. Just love as it should be without any kind of enrichment. Just unconditional love between a mother and her child, just like a family loved each other. He could already hear people telling him that they were not blood-related but he didn't care. He had seen it all before. if he looked at the chair he could see Serius sitting there. The last Lord Black of the darkest family there was and someone that wasn't raised on love but on dealing everything with an iron fist and a cold heart. On top of it all, he was the Godfather of the last Lord Potter the lightest Family there is. Yet he had seen the hug he was giving him just before Andrea had saved the boy from the curse that was directed at him. That hug was nothing but love.

While Croaker walked back to the corner he looked on as his unspeakables were removing a lot of people from the chamber. He also saw how they were ordering the others to take their seats and to keep quiet. As he walked on he came to Albus Dumbledore that was standing there. "Hi, Albus, why was the boy placed with the muggles".

Albus gave a deep sigh "Croaker you know I never meant him harm". Croaker just nodded and waited for Albus to go on. "I really thought that Harry had to be by his aunt. she is his real family, and real family by blood. I never thought that they would hurt him in this way so I never checked up on him".

"And what are you thinking when you see this" Alan said as he pointed at Andrea and little Harry.

"That I was A fool and that she would be a good mother. I, however, think it will be a problem here because she isn't a witch".

"That will be a Problem but I think I can solve it without people objecting. I even think I could do something about the problems we have with Goblins. They do not respect us because we do not respect them But here you can see that they do respect Harry, Minerva and even Amelia. So it is not that they hate all of us, just the most of us".

Croaker stepped back to the middle of the floor as he looked on. The last of the wizards had been removed and he ordered them all to be quiet. "I will ask for a twenty minutes break. In that time I will come up with a solution and I will give a proposition to leave Young Lord Harry James Potter with Andrea McGonagall as his mum".

Some started to object but one shout of quiet by Croaker made them all shut up. "As I said, I will make that proposition. But I will first deal with every member that has been removed. They will agree to be subjected to questioning right after this. If they agree they will be able to come back and vote on the outcome. If they do not they will be locked up in our ministry holding cells until they are questioned".

Some wanted to object again but Croaker had already turned around and left the chamber. Andrea took her chance and rushed to her mother with Harry right behind her. She started to whisper and could see her mother starting to think. Slowly a smile started to appear on her face and Silvia bend down to tell it all to Bogrod and Harriet. Bogrod started to smile too and it made a couple of wizards step back in fear, which made him smile even wider.

Croaker walked out of the chamber and stopped one of his unspeakable. He knew that it was Broderick Bode and knew that he would be the best man for the job he had in mind. Hee, you" he said.

The Unspeakable turned around and looked at his boss.

"Yhea you, I want you to go back in and guard the kid and Andrea McGonnagall. I do not care what anyone says, I just want no one to get near them before I get back".

The unspeakable nodded and walked back in as his boss went on. Down in the cellblock, Croaker gave a quick look around and let his voice roar over the prisoners. "Listen up you all. I want all of you to agree to some questioning with the following questions. These are, one if you are and still am a Death Eater. If the answer is NO, then you will have the following question asked, and that will be number two if you were placed under the Imperius curse. If that is answered with a yes then you are free to resume your duties as a Witenagemot member.

Some were looking hopeful as others were trying to see if Croaker was making a joke.

Croaker was just looking at all the reactions he got from all of them and it was clear to him who was and who wasn't under the imperious curse and who was. Most of them were the suspected Death Eaters who were on the payroll of minister Fudge, meaning they were paying him to keep him quiet. Croaker turned around and started to walk out of the cellblock. just at the entrance, he stopped and turned around. "O before you all go back, I'm going to propose that Andrea be the new mother of Harry James Potter and you will agree or you will be facing the real charges" and he walked on.

Harry was still clinging on to her hand as he started to look around. He frowned a little as he took a closer look at one of the unspeakables. "I know you, you were there when that man killed my mum".

The unspeakable didn't deny it but went straight for his wand. He only gave a sharp look at Harry as he pointed it. No one had ever seen his face because of the charm that was on his unspeakable robe, but this boy did and he had to put an end to it ones and for all, just to be sure that this boy would not tell on him "Avada Kadavra".

Croaker had just walked back in the chamber when he heard the words and saw the green curse leave the wand. He instantly knew who the Unspeakable was because he could see through the charm that hid his face. But he never knew that Broderick Bode was and has been a Death Eather and it was clear that he had been one in the last war.

Bogrod saw the green curse leave the wand and immediately reached for his axe as he started to swing it to the head of the Unspeakable. Minerva who had been standing too far away with Silvia at her side just screamed as they rushed to save Harry from the curse. Alex who was still sitting in the visiting area couldn't do anything but look on in fear as the curse travelled closer and closer to Harry.

Andrea did the one thing a mother does and threw herself right in front of Harry and in the way of the curse that was rushing to him.

Harry saw Andrea jump in front of him and his eyes became big when he saw a face with waving red hair doing the same thing. His mind went back to the day he lost his mum and something snapped inside of him. he disappeared from the spot making Andrea grabbing nothing but air. He reappeared right behind her and right in front of Andrea and caught the curse in the middle of his little chest.

Andrea fell to the floor and turned around just in time or just too late to see the curse hitting her little boy who fell down.

Amelia, Croaker and Albus had seen it and had thrown a stunning curse at Broderick Bode who was hit the moment the curse had left his wand. Just before he fell down the blade of Bogrod hit the side of his neck and he fell down leaving his head floating in the air for another second that looked like a minute for everyone that was looking on.

Andrea sat up on her knees as she took the small and still body of her little Harry into her arms as the tears started to flow from her face and down her cheeks.

Silvia sat down behind her daughter as Minerva just stood there looking at the last Potter that had walked the earth. Alex rushed down the steps and dropped down next to his daughter as he took them and his wife into his arms.

There wasn't a sound in the chamber as they all just looked at the four of them huddled together with a decapitated body in front of them.

Bogrod was the first to shake it off and started to turn back to Andrea as he kept his eyes on little Harry that had become a very special boy to him in a very small time. He lifted his head as he let go of a war cry that called his guards right to where he was. In his own language, he asked them to stay around them as Harriet started to get Andrea back to her feet and take her back to the bank.

One guard stayed with him as Bogrod asked for some of the people to follow him. This boy was a friend of the nation and he would receive the honour to be respected by the nation at their own ground.

"HARRY".

The scream that was heard went through the chamber as all the guards jumped away from Andrea as she dropped to the floor with Harry in her arms. The little boy was shaking as black blood started to drip from his lightning bolt scar. Another yell of pain sounded through the chamber and it looked like it came from Harry but it really came from his scar.

There was another silent that went through the chamber that was interrupted by a small sad voice that was desperately calling for his mummy.

A/n This was it again for this time. Hope to see you all at the next chapter.

Now to all of you the best wishes and A happy new year.

Gr Winmau.
