"Riley, Teddy. I thought you might like to know what is going to happen with the boys who attacked you." McGonagall looked tired.
"Arlin?" Riley questioned.
"Will serve a weeks detention. The other 5 have lost 20 house points each for their participation and will serve detention until I'm convinced they've learnt their lesson. I awarded Mr Lawrence 50 house points for showing bravery and standing up to his fellow Gryffindor's and trying to help you. I also award you, Riley 50 house points for self control and not fighting back and another 50 for your chivalry and selflessness in protecting Mr Lawrence from an unforgivable curse." McGonagall stated proudly.
Riley was a bit taken back by the house points.
"And what of Murik?" Teddy asked.
"Mr Norwood has been expelled. What happens next is out of my hands. Seeing as he is no longer a student no house points need to be taken." McGonagall said a bit smug.
"So all in all we come out 50 points ahead! Not bad." Teddy said excitedly clapping Riley on the back.
"I am not yet finished Mr Lupin. I award you 150 house points for your determination and the help you provided in getting to the bottom of this whole situation." McGonagall smiled.
"150?!" They both yelled.
"Well 100 of that is to replace the 100 I took originally for the incident in the hall so it's more like 50 points for your help." McGonagall said pointedly.
Teddy stood smiling like an idiot as Riley was deep in thought. McGonagall watched her closely.
"What's on your mind?" McGonagall asked.
"I just wonder what will happen to Murik. How did he become that?" Riley pondered.
"We may never know how. Some people are just bad and some people are just sick. They may chose to put him in Azkaban or they might try and get him help. Do not stress over his fate, he made his own bed Riley." McGonagall sighed.
"I know. I'm going to get some sleep, I'll see you both tomorrow." Riley gave them a small smile before walking up to the girls dorms.
"Mr Lupin." McGonagall nodded at Teddy before walking out.
As Minerva made her way down the corridor Teddy called out to her.
"Professor! Professor wait!" He yelled.
"Teddy?" She questioned.
"Professor" he said out of breath. "I was just wondering if you could do something for me. It's more for Riley as well but-"
"What do you need?" She cut in.
"Would you be able to floo in my grandmother?" He asked.
"How would that benefit Riley?" McGonagall asked.
"I want her to visit in the holidays but she's still worried that my grandmother will hate her. I want to show her that she's wrong, before the holidays.." Teddy trailed off sheepishly.
"And if it backfires?" She asked.
"I'll deal with that if it comes to it." Teddy said confidently.
"I'll see what I can do. Have you told Andromeda?" McGonagall asked.
"Told her?" Teddy looked puzzled.
"About Riley being Bellatrix's daughter.." McGonagall looked at the boy dumbfounded.
"Oh, no not yet I haven't."
"You intend to do so before introducing them though?" McGonagall asked suspiciously.
"Of course." There was something in Teddy's eyes that made her doubt him. He had his mother's playful gleam in them that made her sure he intended not too.
"I'll see what I can do." She said again walking away.
