A/N Thank you all for the review.
This will be the second part of A Helping Hand.

This part is called Helping hands will always help.

Harry Potter is not mine, This is a story from a fan.

C56 Starting all over

Andrea was walking down the auditorium of the ministery with Harry in her arms when she suddenly stopped and turned back to her mother. "I don't have any Idea where I'm going," she told her with a cheeky smile.

Bogrod laughed and said that they had to go to the bank because by becoming the head of house Potter. She would not only get to decide about everything that had been owned by the Potters and was now owned by Harry.

Andrea just gaped at him when he said it. "How am I suppose to do that, I know a little bit about those scumbacks who think they are all that because of their blood. But I'm not going to rule the Potter house in that way".

"Well, those are the things we are going to help you with. The Potters were never known for their traditional way of thinking but more for their out of the box thinking. Still, the Potters did know of all the old laws, just so they could hit them with their own law if they needed it. But before we do all of that, let's have a cup of tea first" Bogrod told her and the others.

Croaker stood next to Albus when he looked at his Unspeakables who were lining up all the Death Eaters that had claimed to be under the Imperious when the last war ended. He had a little smile because he had been after them for a long time. His secret helpers had been mad-eye and Amelia, but that was something no one would ever know. Still, it had taken the innocent question of a young boy to get them all. "You know Albus, we still have to talk about the Horcrux that was in his scar. You knew about it didn't you" Croaker asked as he gazed around.

Albus nodded slowly. "I never knew it for sure, but I have always had my suspicions about it".

"Did he make more" Croaker asked.

"I think he did, I even think he made more than three. I do not know where they are but I have been looking for them".

Croaker nodded, "tomorrow I will come to Hogwarts where we will talk more about it. But I will tell you this. If I find something wrong with your logic I will put your ass in that chair and pump you full of Veritaserum to get what I want. This was something you should have told us a long time ago".

"Yes, I should have, but I could not take the risk. All these Death Eaters that were walking around could have prevented me from getting them" Albus told hem as his eyes became big when he realized that they had all the Death Eaters in one swoop.

"I can understand that," Croaker told him. "But no more. we will clean out the ministry and go on from there".

"So Chief Warlock, how are we going to deal with the Death Eaters," Mad-eye Said as he stepped up next to Albus and Croaker.

Albus shook his head, "Alister, don't you think they deserve a second chance".

Mad-eye looked at Albus and almost snapped at him. "Albus you know as well as I do that none of them was or has ever been under the imperious curse. You know as well as I do that they did everything they had to do to earn that mark. They killed, raped and tortured people for fun, pleasure and just because they could. Now I am not saying to just throw them to the dementors. No, every one of them deserves a fair trial, but no more second chances. If they go free then I will let them be, but if they don't then they deserve every punishment they get".

"Alister, you sound like someone that is going dark".

"Stuff it, Albus" and this time Mad-eye did snap at Albus. "You know that I have always been dark. But it isn't the spells or the curses that make a wizard dark It is the intent that does it. You know just as I do that you don't have to use the Avada curse to kill someone. A blasting curse can do the same if you placed it at the right spot. Sirius has been the confirmation of that. You have seen it here today. He has been raised to be a dark wizard with all the dark spells that go with it. Yet he has enough love in him to do what is right for Harry. can you say the same"?

Albus dropped his head. It was a low blow but he deserved it. "Are you saying that I'm going dark, Alister".

"No Albus, but you have been misguided by the aftermath of the war. Yes, you made a lot of mistakes but we can put that behind us. You know as well as I do that Voldemort isn't dead. So we have to stop his followers now or they will turn on us the moment he comes back".

"He is right Albus. Millicent Bagnold let them off after the son of Barty Sr was found to be a Death Eater. He thought that if they let them be the peace would come sooner. But you have seen it today. None of them changed one bit. Get Voldemort back and they will plunder and kill again in a heartbeat" Croaker told him. "But I also agree with you Mad-eye, in the trial they have the opportunity to prove their own innocent, If they prove it they will get that second chance If not we will let the law decide".

Again Albus had to shake his head only this time it was for himself. "I was blinded by the peace we had and Didn't see the one that was punished for it all just because he gave us that peace. You are both right we have to let the law decide and not our hopes and dreams".

"The dreams will not die if we get rid of them. Their children will live on and they can show us a better way. But If it is alright with you I would like to keep Harry out of this for as much as I can. That boy does not need to hear what they think of his parents" Croaker told them. "I'm, however, afraid we will need him sooner or later, that boy has been the only one who held off not only a killing curse but two of them and also a Horcrux from Voldemort Himself".

As the three of them looked on as most of the members took their seats again while the others were guided to the holding cells to wait for their trial.

It was not long after Andrea left the Ministry that she ended up in the office of Bogrod with everyone around her sipping their cups of tea. She looked at the corner where Harry was playing office with Griphook. She smiled a little as she finally saw him playing with another kid. Sure he had played with Susan and Neville but this was the one friend he made all on his own. Her eyes found her aunty and became big when she saw her waving her wand at her. "What do you think you are doing" she screamed as she held up her hands in a protecting way.

Minerva smiled as she put away her wand. "You got the eyes of Lily, the hair of Lily and even some of her magic. I just Placed a spell on you to see your magical signature. I remember the one from Lilly and yours is almost identical. I do not know if I can say it but in some way, you are a witch. It even looks like you have a magical core and in a way you do not".

"I can tell you what happened but I need some blood," Bogrod told them.

"My blood," Andrea asked in astonishment.

Bogrod smiled and took out a very big knife out of the draw from his desk. "Don't you scare her now you big brute. You know you can't take her if Harry steps between you and her and he will, you know".

Bogrod placed his knife back as he saw Harry standing before Andrea. How he got there so fast he would never know but he did and there was an apparition ward all over the bank. "You are no fun," he said to Harriet but gave a fearful look at Harry who still hadn't turned his eyes away from the knife.

Bogrod took the paper and a smaller knife as he gave it to Andrea, still looking sideways at Harry. something had changed when that Horcrux left his head. He knew that he had to have a talk with this Croaker person about it. His gaze went back to Andrea and saw her drop some drops of blood on the paper. Harriet had helped her and it was now that he saw the words.

He gave her the paper and asked if she would read it herself. Andrea couldn't and handed the paper to her mother and asked her to read it for her. Silvia nodded and started to read it out loud.

Name Andrea McGonagal-Potter.

Mother: Silvia McGonagall nee Black.
Father: Alex McGonagall.

Magically blood adopted by mother Lily Potter nee Evans
Magically blood adopted by Father James Charlus Potter.
Magically blood adopted by Son Harry James Potter.

Magical core 10% own magical core Link 60% core of Harry James Potter.

Magical Ability Witch by link.

They all were looking at Bogrod with questioning eyes. He nodded and cleared his throat. "I'm not completely sure but If I read this correctly the magic of Lily has adopted her. Lily was not the only one because it says here that James also adopted her. It lets me think that Lily has placed some of her blood and the blood of James into the cube. Lily not only made it so that Andrea became her adopted daughter. But she also created a house elf link between Harry and Andrea. It made Andrea a full witch and she can be one by using his magic just like House elves do".

"Doesn't it create a drain of the magic from Harry" Minerva asked.

Bogrod shook his head. Harry is almost as powerful as Merlin. That is why he can do the magic he can. That is also why he is already able to be an Animagus. So when Andrea learns to use the magic it will be nothing more than a tickle to him. Still, we have to train her because she will be using it wandlessly just like a house elf would do. So I would say get a House-elf to teach her. If I do remember there were house elves in the will. So Harry should have one or two of his own.

It was at that moment Harry spoke up "Obby and misses Obby, Inky".

They all looked at him and Andromeda who had been standing in a corner just looked on with a frown on her face. Before anyone could say anything she spoke up. "If there were family elves they would have lost there link to the magic of the Potter when Lily and James died. So they would no longer be around". She told the last part just to not hurt Harry be telling them that they could be death.

Harry did not understand a bit of what the grownups had been talking about and went back to Griphook.

Harriet looked at Harry and shook her head. "The house elves aren't dead, they can't be," she said. When the Potters died the link they had should have transferred to Harry".

Most of the adults were looking at Harriet and wondered if she was right. But if she was, where could they be, they should have been around him all the time to take care of him. "I don't think they are," Minerva told them. "If they would have been still around they would have taken care of their master and never let the things happen to him that did happen".

As the room was overtaken by silents they all looked at each other not really knowing what to do. "Obby and Inky still here. I feel them mummy just like I feel you" and little Harry was pointing at his heart".

Andrea looked at Harry and smiled at him. from the moment he started to call her mummy she felt her heart swell up with pride of her son. If you feel them then they must be around somewhere. I do not know how to get them but we will".

Harry smiled up at her knowing they would find Obby and Inky.

A/N This was it again for this time. See you all next time.
