Chapter Six: The Disappeance of Ellyza Potter
Professor Dumbledore was not having a very good day at all. It was nearing the anniversary of Lord Voldemort's downfall and the public wanted to know how Ellyza Potter was. Normally Dumbledore was able to convince the wizarding world the saviour needed privacy from reporters and things like that but this year the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge too wanted to know where the Potter child was.
He couldn't ignore it anymore. He had to contact Arabella Figg.
But nothing could've prepared him for what was to come. He had sent a letter that morning inquiring about the health of the child and what not. He did not anticipate the reply
Professor Dumbledore,
As you know you from my last letter, (if you even read it) Miss Potter no longer resides with the Dursley family. They had her for a year before abandoning her in an orphanage, I was unsuccessful finding the exact orphanage in my research, but Miss Potter has not been in Private Drive since she was two years old.
Please do not contact me again,
Arabella Figg
It took Dumbledore a moment before he could comprehend what he had read. Ellyza Potter was missing.
He felt rage build up within him and his office began to shake. This was a disaster.
The plans he so carefully constructed ruined to ashes. Oh he'd find out where the Potter child disappeared to after all Petunia owed him, she was meant to treat the child no better than a dog. What had happened? That Petunia changed her mind. Her husband? The neighbours?
And worst of all now he had to inform Cornelius Fudge what had happened. The incompetent fool was looking for ways to get rid Dumbledore, but there was never anything he could do. Until now.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself. He flooed to the Ministry of Magic. He had to tell Cornelius himself before Rita Skeeter or anyone else from the Daily Prophet found out.
He was escorted to the Ministers office and told to wait.
"Ah Albus my good man, well is Potter ready to meet her people?" Minister Fudge exclaimed as he walked into his office and made his way to his desk.
"Actually Cornelius that is why I have come to talk about" Dumbledore said.
"Oh do tell" Fudge replied pouring himself a glass of brandy.
"As you know I've had one of my trusted friends living close to Potter to keep an eye on her incase any mischief were to happen, and happen it did" Professor Dumbledore began'
"Mischief?" Fudge questioned
"Why at the time I was communicating with Arabella Figg who I intrusted to watch over Miss Potter, our communication was disrupted and in inquiring Miss Potter's health and welcoming back to the wizarding world I was told something' Dumbledore answered
"Told what?" Fudge questioned his eyes narrowing on Dumbledore.
"I'm afraid it is not good news, Minister" Dumbledore sighed.
"How bad?" Fudge asked sipping at his brandy.
"My dear man, Miss Potter is missing' ignoring Fudge's gasp he continued 'Apparently her family grew weary of her, and I of course had no idea that this had even happened till today' he sighed sounding and looking much older than he was.
"Of course you couldn't" Fudge assured "Don't worry I'll put my best aurors on the case of Miss Potter, we will find her" he promised.
Dumbledore internally smiled. He had the Minister by his side now, and all he had to do was find the saviour, unaware that it would take years before she was found and when she was, she would be so vastly protected.
