A/N thank you all for the reviews. It is always nice to get one.
Harry Potter is not mine, this is a story from a fan.
Sorry for the long wait, but don't worry I will not stop a story because I have no time or have no fun anymore. You all deserve a finish after a story is started.
C58 A what?
Dobby, stood in the hallway with the handkerchief from Narcissa in his little hands when he heard the voice of his true master. His tennis ball like eyes snapped around to the sound of the voice. He snapped his little fingers and Harry was put down on the ground. "Master Welp, Master Welp please change".
Harry's little teary eyes looked up at Dobby when he instantly changed into his Animagus form. Dobby picked the panter kiddy up and held it out to Andrea. "I can feel Mistress Lily's Magic's on yous. Yous just sit down and scratch behind his ear. Mistress Lily's did it when Master Welp wanted to go with Master Prongs".
Andrea just looked on with doubt in her eyes. She didn't know if she hat to believe this house elf but knew she didn't have another solution for her little Harry. As she sat down with the welp on her lap and started to scratch the back of his ears. The welp was howling at first but it started to calm down pretty quickly. After a minute the welp changed back into Harry and started to sniffle into the shoulder of Andrea. Andrea smiled as she held Harry close to her body as she gazed at Dobby. She held out her hand to Dobby and said. "Hi there Obby. I'm Andrea I'm the new mother of Master Welp".
Dobby looked at the hand and then at Narcissa. "You go ahead Dobby. I'm not your Mistress anymore and Lucius has been thrown through the veil. Now we just learned that you have never been our house elf, We do not know how or why. But you are back with your real master now".
Dobby's eyes filled themselves with tears as he rushed to the hand of Andrea and wrapped his little hands around it as he shook it. He then went to Harry and wrapped his little arms around the neck of Harry where he hugged him. Harry was startled and gave a scream of fear when he felt the little arms around his neck.
"No, No, No I am a good dog I stay put. No ripper no Ripper".
Dobby jumped back as he looked at his little master. He did not know what to say and just looked on. Andrea saw the pain in his tennis ball eyes and took pity on the little elf. "Dobby" she called out. "Master Welp didn't have a good time sins you and Inky have been away. I will tell you all about it but now we have to bring Master welp to the master bedroom. There he can sleep in the bed tonight with me. When he is asleep we will come down and talk".
Everyone was looking on as Dobby brought Andrea with Harry in her arms to the master bedroom. When the door closed behind them Narcissa walked into the room and sat down. she looked around and didn't know what to say. Her eyes went to the ground as she felt a hand rub over her own.
"I would say, welcome back to the family Narcissa Black".
The head of Narcissa snapped up and looked into two dark eyes she remembered, but didn't know from where. "Hi there Cissy," Silvia said as she took a firm hold on the hand of Narcissa. "It is Iyour aunt Silvia".
The jaw of Narcissa fell as she looked into the eyes of her aunt. "You, you are alive" she whispered. Grandpa told us you had died, the last time I saw you was at aunt Dorea. Then when Sirius ran away it all went to hell".
Silvia took Narcissa into a hug and whispered softly. It was clear to her that Narcissa didn't understand any of the things that were happening around her. and she just clung to an aunt she thought had died all those years ago.

It was an hour later that Andrea came down and dropped herself into a chair. Minerva walked over to her and gave her a plate of food. As Andrea started to eat they could all see the life come back into her body. It was after she had finished half of her plate that she asked where the food came from. Minerva smiled and told her she had asked a couple of Hogwarts elf to bring it for them. It was after it that she asked how Harry was doing.
Andrea gave a little sigh and looked to the ceiling into the direction of the master bedroom. The little guy is asleep. It has been a long day and he just told me what it was all about. That Bitch of a sister of that walrus's use to put a collar around his neck and tie him up at the table. He had to be a good dog or he wouldn't get any dinner. So the moment Dobby placed his arms around the neck of Harry, Harry thought he was getting the collar put around him".
Narcissa was looking on. she had heard a little of Harry before Andrea had come down but still didn't believe it. Up in the master bedroom was a boy who had just saved all of the wizarding world for a second time. He got all the escaped Death Eaters with a single question. That question not only got her free but also many other wives who were in the same position as she was. But it had cost him so much. as the night went on they were all talking about the time they had.
Andrea told about her teaching days while Silvia told about her mental work at the muggle hospital. As they all started to talk Andrea was looking around the house. Her gaze went through a side door where she saw a very big room.

Albus sat down behind his desk of the chief warlock. His hands were folded underneath his chin. It had been a tiring day and he still had a long way to go. Almost all of the Death Eaters were either placed in Azkaban or thrown through the veil. He has been doing all he could to give them all a second chance but it was clear to him that none of them had changed their ways. They all took the chance for a second chance that Albus had given them but none had done what they had promised.
As he sat there he realized he had clearly lost his way. While he was filling his glass with fire whiskey he thought about his brother. "Well, I had my ass kicked all day why not take the last kicking I still deserve," Albus told himself as he threw some floo powder into the floo. He waited a moment and lowered his face into the green flames. "Abeforth, can I speak with you for a moment".
Abeforth had been standing behind his bar when the floo erupted he looked and almost stumbled back when he saw the head of his brother. "What, do you want" he snapped.
Albus swallowed and said the first thing he could say. "Sorry, I have had my ass kicked all day and all week now. I have done wrong by Harry and the wizarding world. Most of all I have done wrong by you".
Abeforth looked at his brother and wondered if it was true. "What happened with Lily's boy," he asked in a somewhat softer tone of voice.
"Can you come here so I can tell you. I would love to come there, but I still have a lot of things to do tonight here at the ministry".
Abeforth nodded and stepped through the floo and into the office of his brother. In the hour that followed Albus told all he knew and all he had done wrong. It was after the story that Abeforth stood and took his brother into a hug. "You are not dad. Sure you made mistakes but you can redeem yourself. Go and stand next to croaker in all he does. Help him with your connections and show them why you are the leader of the light. Help this Andrea with little Harry and you will do alright".
Albus looked up at his brother, "You forgive me just like that".
Abeforth smiled a little. "Sure, you are my brother after all".
Clap, Clap, Clap Croaker had been standing to the side for the last couple of minutes as he looked at Albus and his brother. "He is right Albus. Your intentions had been good. Your choices were wrong but the intention were not. Help me by making it right, help us by making this a better world and help me by making it ready for Harry to take it over from us when the time is right".
Albus raised an eyebrow as Abeforth had to ask. "That boy is only What eight years old. there is no way he can take over".
Croaker smiled back, "Abeforth, let me tell you something about Harry. That boy has been on a road through hell. the end of the road is still, a long way away. Yet he has this inner compass that tells him the right from wrong. He will be a leader as Merlin and will guide us further than we ever thought possible. He is already making a bridge between us and the Goblins. We have to make the world the best we can so he can guide the rest that comes after us further along. He already gave us the tools to put justices on all the escaped Death Eaters. He has even shown us how Voldemort has cheated death".
"He isn't dead" Abeforth exclaimed in astonishment.
Albus nodded at his brother. "I have always thought he did but never knew how. We do know it now. That is also why you came here isn't it Croaker".
Croaker nodded as he held up a little black book with golden letters saying.
Tom Marvelo Riddle.

The eyes of Andrea were looking around the room as she stood up she stepped to the next room and repeated her gaze around. "Andrea, what are you looking at," Silvia asked her daughter as she saw here looking at the rooms that were around them.
Andrea walked back and sat down again. Her eyes were still wandering around the room as she took a deep breath. "This house has so many memories for Harry that he doesn't want to leave. He is afraid that something will happen when he does it. Last time it happened Lily and James were killed. Last time it happened he was left with those monsters. When I was upstairs with him he again asked me to not go away. he asked me to not go into the green light. His memory is that good and it will only hurt him if I do leave him somewhere else. This" and the eyes of Andrea started to go around the room. "Is the only place he felt safe. This is the only place that holds good memories for him. Can I take him away from here if it will hurt him so much, now that he is back"?
Silvia was looking and listening at the things her daughter was telling her. She knew she had to treat Harry for the trauma he has build up in the past years. His almost photographic memory will make it even more difficult just like his young age. This might well be the best place to help him if he would let her.
While Silvia was also starting to look around the house she kept on listening to Andrea. "I was talking to him about going to school. As you have seen down here he thought I would leave him but upstairs I told him that I would not do it. But I also explained to him that he needed to go to school. He is a very smart boy and he understands he has to go to school but the thought of leaving here was and is unthinkable so I'm not going to do it tomorrow. Maybe next week or so".
Silvia nodded at her daughter "And what does Harry want".
Andrea had to smile, "The only thing he wants is for me to stay here with him and be his teacher, that is all he wants".
Silvia nodded, "Understandable. He lost all and entered into hell. you have given him all he had lost. His first hug he can remember. The first adult that really stood up for him. The first adult that not only, told him she would help, but the one who did help. He has everything he ever wanted and he doesn't want to let it go if he can. So to get him out of it it has to be you that takes him and teach him all over again".
"Mum, what do you mean".
Silvia smiled. "Easy dear, you have to take him out into the world and let him experience it in the way he should have. not in fear but with wonder and excitement".
"You will help right, mum".
"Yes dear, I will. I will be talking with him once a week to see if I can get him to open up, but you have to show him that the world isn't as bad as it looks. You have to show it all over again".
Andrea nodded "But what about his school".
"Why not teach him here from out the home. Many purebloods do it" Narcissa told her.
"But he needs more friends. more then Griphook. Susan and Neville".
"Well, why not start a primary school for the wizard's children right here from the house," Minerva said as she walked into the room.
"A What" Narcissa almost screamed.
This was it again for this time. see you all the next chapter.
A/n Sorry for the long wait but Bellatrix was eating up all my time. Now that I have to writhe those chapters again instead of translating them it will all go a lot faster. So these updates should also come faster. Thank you all for reading. please review, it makes us writers write faster.
