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

C61 The next day and the day after that.

Andrea slowly walked into the Kitchen of Potter mansion. The moment she sat down, Dobby placed a warm cup of black gold in front of her. She took it and after a couple of sips, she was ready to speak. "Thank you Dobby, we sure are blessed with you helping us now".

Dobby smiled up at her as tears started to well up in his big little eyes. "Dobby is thanking yours for taking him back. Dobby has mist master whelp a lot".

Andrea didn't know why Dobby was crying but she knew that it were real tears, tears of gratitude. "You are family Dobby, you and Winky belong here and as soon as we find Winky we will bring her back, right back here where she belongs.".

Dobby thanked her and popped out of the room.

It was now that Andrea looked to the other side of the table where she saw her parents and aunt sitting there just looking at her. None of them said a thing and were just smiling. "Did I miss something?" Andrea asked.

Minerva let out a giggle and shook her head a little. "Not at all, dear. But last night your mum and I were standing at the door when you were talking with Harry".

Flashback.

Andrea took a very sleepy Harry to the main bedroom. She knew that she would have to let him sleep alone but she would let him sleep with her for a little while longer. He did have a very troubling night so she just had to cuddle him a little. As she helped him into his little pyjamas she had to think about the way he was with her. Her he trusted and she told herself that she would do anything to make him happy again. As Dobby brought him to the bathroom to brush his teeth, she started to pull away the blankets to make the bed ready for her little man.

Harry walked back and Andrea helped him into the bed. She tugged him in and lay down beside him on top of the blankets. "Harry, it is time for you to go to sleep. I will stay here until you fall asleep and then I will go back down to sit with the others".

"Are they all staying here forever".

"No Harry," she said with a smile. "They will be going home but we will see them a lot. Aunty Minerva, my mum, and dad do have jobs they have to do. They took time off but they have to go back".

"Bud Granpa wanted to have a toy store," he said while he smiled up at her.

Andrea smiled back at him, "Yes, he did say that and I know he will have one someday, but we first have to do a lot of things before he can do it".

"Like what".

"Well, firstly my dad has to find a store, without it he can't start a toy store. Then he has to find toys to sell but also a way to make them run with Magic".

"OOO," Harry said in a little voice.

"So it will be some time before my dad has a store".

Harry nodded. "Will you teach me now".

"I still have to see about that" the little eyes of Harry turned sad when Andrea said it. "Don't give me that look, young man?" She told him while she still kept her smile on her face. "But how did you know about that. You were upstairs as I remember".

Harry started to turn into himself when he saw the look Andrea gave him and wanted to turn his little eyes away. "Harry, look at me," Andrea said softly. He didn't so she placed her finger under his chin and turned his face to her. "Harry, have you been listening at the door".

Harry gave a small nod as he started to look away again. Andrea knew she had to say something about it. Her mind was telling her to be firm while her heart was telling her to forget about it and just hug him. "Harry," she said a little firmly but still soft enough to not make him turn into his whelp form. "Harry, it is not nice to listen to people behind a door or wall. You have to always walk into the room. If it is something we do not want you to know we will say it and ask you to wait in the other room".

"You, you are not mad".

"First tell me Harry, your aunt, and uncle. Did they ever told you it was not nice to do that"? She already knew the answer but she just had to ask.

"They never said anything to me. All the things I know I had to listen to from behind the door or the door of my cupboard. Sometimes I was in there and they just went away leaving me there by myself".

This had been the answer Andrea was afraid of. "No, Harry I'm not mad or angry. Bud, it is not a nice thing to do. Now I do know why you had to do it but you can't do it anymore. You might hear things people want to keep a secret".

Little Harry nodded as he was keeping his eyes on the wall. "So I could not listen to the talk about the new school".

"Well, it is kind of a yes and no, I did not want you to hear it so soon. I wanted to tell it to you when I knew I could do it".

"Can you not do it".

"Well, I don't know yet. Just like my dad we have to do a lot before we can start a new school. Now I know we can do it here but that is just one little thing of all the things we will need. We need a whole lot more like teachers, friends, Books, tables, and chairs". Andrea knew that these were the things that were the easiest to get, but she also knew that Harry would understand her better if she said it like this.

"So, it is a lot of work and we can't do it".

"Yes, Harry, it is a lot of work, but I did not say we can't do it. It is something we first have to find out if we can. When we can we will do it".

End flashback.

"We heard it all and you did it wonderfully," Silvia told her.

Andrea smirked a little. So you did what I told Harry not to do".

Both Minerva and Silvia smiled but still looked down with a little shame. Minerva had to smile again and just had to say it. "Well, while you were sleeping in I went to the ministry and had a little talk with my dear friend Bathilda. You do know she is the head of the exam commission of Hogwarts. She as a historian that knows all about Hogwarts and was clearly taken with the idea of starting a school for the young magical that will be attending Hogwarts at some point. She is even willing to teach History for an hour a week. I also had a little talk with some of the other departments and most of them are willing to help. now they did tell me they would do it for free the first year but in the following years, they want to be paid even if it is just a little bit. Some of them even want to place their own children in the school if and when it starts".

"But... But... But..." Andrea started to sputter. "We are not even close to starting it, Bogrod wants to see it first and I have to see if I can do it. I know that we were going to do something on Monday like a makeshift school day".

It was at this moment that Minerva interjected her niece. "Well, we are not going to do it on Monday because Amelia would not be able to make it. She says that they could wrap it all up in a matter of days. there are only three more people who have to receive a trial but after that most of them can help us with everything".

It was now Silvia who interrupted Minerva. "WHO".

"Hold on," Minerva told her. "The first is old minister Bagnold, the second is Bartimius and the last is none other than Professor Severus Snape".

"Mummy went to meet him before she went away" Harry Mumbled when he walked into the room still rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Harry have you been listening at the door again," Andrea asked when she took Harry onto her lap.

Harry shook his head "No, you were talking loud and I heard it as I walked down the stairs and into the room" he mumbled. It was only a moment later that Harry was right back to sleep.

Silvia smiled as she told her daughter to put him back into the bed. Andrea nodded and started to walk away to return five minutes later. "That boy is sleeping like a log again. I do not know why but he sleeps a lot".

"It will fade in a couple of days my dear, " Silvia told her. "The last month or so he has been through a lot. His little mind has a lot to process and for him to have that photographic memory it will be a little more draining. Don't forget that he went from hell one day, to heaven the next".

Andrea looked up to the room Harry was in "Will he be okay when he wakes up".

"No, but he will be better and the more he does with you the better he will become. I also have to form a bond with him before I can help him. I could start talking to him but that will not work. He does not trust me as he does you. That is something I have to work on. Your father, now that is another story. He has his trains and to get a young boy to trust you, you just have to tell them that".

"Mum, are your jealous of dad," Andrea asked as she giggled a little.

"I think she is," Minerva told her niece.

"OOo hush you," Silvia told her aunt as she huffed a little.

After a round of laughter, Minerva had to ask the one thing she also wanted to know. "How do you and Narcissa get along".

Andrea had a little smirk "She is wonderful, Her son is a bully but I can get it out of him, but she is wonderful. She will be helping me with the tasks of a Lord of the house. She will also be educating me in the old ways. Now she will not be the only one but she will be doing the most of it. Andromeda will also be teaching me a lot of it. We did talk a little about the idea of a school. But we decided that it would be a good place for you to help me, aunty. Mum can focus on Harry and the Longbottom's"

"And here I was thinking you didn't want me around anymore," Minerva said with a fake tear. Andrea smiles a little and wanted to say something when the floo erupted and Amelia stepped out of it. She was followed by a little female house-elf. Amelia had a big smile as she walked into the room. The little house-elf right on her tail so to say. The floo erupted for another time and Narcissa stepped out of it looking with a smile of a cat that just got the Canary.

Narcissa was bout to say something when there was a lot of commotion coming from upstairs. Little feet were running over the upper floo Down the stairs and right into the room. Harry was screaming his little head off as she rushed around the doorway yelling ".INKY, INKY, INKY".

The big eyes of the house-elf became bigger as they started to fill themself with tears while she looked at her little master. "Master whelp is alive, Master whelp is alive," she said as Harry rushed right into her little open arms".

Dobby popped in and gazed at his Winky. "Winky is found, Winky is back". There was a glow coming from Winky as she hugged Harry. Dobby hugged both of them and the glow became more and more intense. The glow should have been white but it was a reddish color. Suddenly there was a snap and the glow turned back into white.

Most of the magical gasped while Andrea and Silvia were just looking at it all with worries in their eyes. "Aunty, what happened".

Minerva had to shake her head a little. "My dear this is very bad. Winky and Dobby were bonding to Harry and to each other like husband and wife. Now the white glow was the one we are used to seeing. The white glow is an emotional bond that binds the house-elf to the magic of their master. The red one is the same kind of bond, only this one if a forced slave bond, It is the same but not one that is shared by the house-elves. This bond is an illegal one and the one who has done it will be in a lot of trouble". It was now that Minerva turned to Amelia. "and who was it".

Amelia sighed "Bartimius for Winky and Lucius for Dobby".

This was it again for this time see you all the next time.
