"Dumbledore, how could you let this happen?" I question, evenly. Draco sat in a chair next to me while Narcissa was fussing over his arm. Lucius was glaring Hagrid and Dumbledore.

"He's the Sytherin seeker, they need him! And what about his study's?" I growled. I spared a quick glance at Hagrid who was glaring at me, with a deep hatred in his eyes.

"First of all how could you let him teach here?" I questioned.

"Miss Wilson…" Dumbledore started.

"Riddle" I hissed, glaring at the way Hagrid flushed.

"I think Hagrid here would be more comfortable with Wilson." Dumbledore said, smiling kindly.

"Now Miss Wilson, need I remind you that Hagrid did not open the Chamber of Secrets, Tom did" He said, watching me closely. I stiffened.

"I know that. I was actually referring to the fact that Hagrid is a half Giant." I said coldly.

Hagrid turned red and growled "Like your any better! Married a sodding monster didn't you?" he spat at me.

I smiled coldly at him and turned to Dumbledore.

"The fact is, is that you let him teach, and one of his creatures hurt my godson." I said, pounding my fist on my chair.

"You never could control your obsession with creatures, could you Hagrid?" I sneered.

"You can trust that I will be taking action Dumbledore" Lucius said stiffly before motioning to Narcissa, Draco, and I that we were leaving.

"I'll be out in a minute" I murmured to Narcissa.

As they left the room I turned towards Hagrid and took a deep breath.

"Now is the time to lay everything out on the table, it is only us three now" I said coldly.

"I'll start. Hagrid, I don't particularly hate you. But I think it's unsafe to have you around the students and even when we went to Hogwarts together, you made me slightly uncomfortable. And I will not sacrifice Draco's safety. Your turn" I said, leaning back in my chair.

"I don't trust yeh! I think yer as evil as that horrid husband of yours! I don't trust how you look, we are the same age after all, but you look 17!" he said.

I laughed a bit and lied "beauty spells are a wonderful thing"

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at me. "You need beauty spells? Emily as I remember your mother was a very beautiful woman like yourself and aged well, why would you need beauty spells?" he asked me, looking me straight in the eye.

"I'm flattered Dumbledore, but I have no wish to age well, I have no wish to look old" I sneered.

"And why did yeh never marry again?" Hagrid growled at me.

"No one's caught my eye. I will not settle for less than I had, and no one can be compared to Tom. Hagrid I have said this a million times. To the press, to Dumbledore, and now I am saying this to you. I was not in love with Lord Voldemort; I was and am still in love with Tom Riddle. Tom made a lot of mistakes, and as much as I wished I could hate him, I never could. Yes I believe in pureblood supremacy but I never killed anyone." I lied.

"Well your husband and lord was a ruddy half-blood!" Hagrid yelled.

I took out my wand faster then he could blink and pointed it at his chest. My eyes were on fire and I was breathing deeply. "Watch your mouth Half-breed!" I hissed at him.

"Emily, please lower your wand" Dumbledore said pleasantly.

"Don't say a word against my husband again or else you will regret it deeply." I hissed, digging my wand deeper into his chest. I froze and backed up in a second and put my wand away, breathing deeply, trying to calm myself.

"Dumbledore, I think it'd be best if I left now. Lucius and Narcissa are waiting for me." I said coldly.

"Of course, please visit soon; I do miss our tea talks." He said, absentminded. That old man was a crack job.

"Of course Dumbledore. Hagrid" I said coldly before asking my way out of Dumbledore's office.


I walked out of Dumbledore's office and went to Narcissa.

"I'll be back later, I must go visit Snape. Lucius, tomorrow we are going to the ministry to sort all this out!" I hissed.

I smiled at Draco and said "Don't worry dear, we will get this mess sorted out, that Hagrid will get fired and maybe even arrested faster than you can say hippogriff."

Draco smirked and said "I'll take you down to the dungeons Aunt Emily; I need to turn something into Snape anyway." Draco said good bye to his parents and we headed down the hallway to the dungeons.

"So how's your school work going" I asked, eyeing him.

He shrugged and mumbled "That disgusting mudblood keeps beating me! I don't even understand how. Oh wait, yes I do, all she ever does is study in the library! I have a social life and a girlfriend, I can't waste all my time in library; how in the world am I supposed to beat her?"

"You have a girlfriend? Is it Pansy?" I asked; a small smile on my face.

"Yeah, she's a bit clingy but you know, she's beautiful. I do wish she was smarter though, it's hard to have an intelligent conversation with her. But she's nice and pay's a lot of attention to me" Draco said, staring off into space.

I rolled by eyes and said "The Malfoy wife has standards. Look at your mother Draco; she's poised, intelligent, beautiful, and caring. Pansy needs to be all these things, and I'm sure with time she will become to the perfect wife, she's only 13 still."

He shrugged and said "here's Snape's office, what do you need to talk to him about anyway?" Draco asked; looking at me curiously.

"I need to discuss some things, that's all, don't fret about it." I said.

We walked to find Snape at his desk, grading papers. He looked up and grimaced as he saw me.

"Draco…Emily. What a…Pleasure." He grinded out.

"Hello Severus, Draco give him your paper then leave, I need to speak to your professor privately." I said coldly, not showing any emotion.

Draco handed his paper to Snape and nodded to me as he closed the door behind him.

"Emily what are you doing here?" Snape asked me coldly.

"It's polite to offer a beverage when a person, especially a lady, visits you." I said, sitting in the chair in front of his desk, looking pointedly at him.

He smiled a cold smile before conjuring up some elf wine in two glasses. I took my mine and took a small sip. It was white, my favorite.

"How nice of you to remember Severus, white wine is my favorite." I said, taking another sip.

"I'm sure you've heard what happened to Draco, in the oaf's classroom." I sneered.

"Of course, it's all over the school. I knew Hagrid was not the right choice for the job, but Dumbledore would not listen to me." He said, irritation clear I his voice.

I laughed and said "Oh Dumbledore, does he ever listen to you Severus? Or you really become Dumbledore's rat like I've heard"

Snape gritted his teeth and said "Who told you that?" I looked at my glass, appearing bored.

"I have my people" I said, smiling.

"Believe me, I know all about your people!" Snape snapped.

"You were one of my people once, my most trusted spy. Tom got very jealous sometimes, did I ever tell you that?" I asked. Snape shook his head, rolling his eyes at the thought.

"Yes it was very funny." I sniggered.

"I'm still very much loyal to you Emily, of course. You of all people would understand why I chose to stay at Hogwarts. The Dark Lord wanted me to stay here, at my post." He said.

I smiled at him, not quite believing him. "Of course Severus, well if you'll excuse me, I must rest. Lucius and I have a big day at the ministry tomorrow." I said, standing up.

"Of course, and please visit again soon." He said, not quite meaning it.

"We'll see" I said, before turning and walking out of his office.


The next day, Lucius and I apperated to the ministry. Walking in was easy, people stared in scared silence. We made our way to the Committee for the Disposal of Magical Creatures.

"Excuse me," I question the young man sitting at the desk. He looked at me, terrified and shocked.

"Y-Yes Miss…" he stammered.

I smiled and said "Wilson. Miss Wilson"

He nodded shakily and said "What is It you and Mr.…Malfoy need?"

"We have an appointment with Mr. Maxi. Tell him that we've arrived." I snapped. He jumped a bit and disappeared behind a blue door.

"Pathetic, but at least their easily scared" Lucius sneered. I laughed and we waited a bit before the man reappeared.

"Mr. Maxi is ready to see you" he stammered.

We walked past him without a word and walked into the office of a very nervous looking man. Another group of men were sitting in the room, looking even more nervous.

"Miss Wilson, Mr. Malfoy. What a pleasure." He said; his voice a little stronger then the receptionist's voice had been.

"Mr. Maxi, council members, we're here because there is a very dangerous animal on the Hogwarts grounds." I said, eyeing the nervous council members.

"A dangerous creature?" he asked, looking puzzled.

"Yes, Dumbledore has allowed the grounds care keeper, Hagrid, teach their Care of magical Creatures class, I'm sure you remember him." I smirked.

Mr. Maxi nodded and muttered darkly "Oh yes, we remember him well. He was the one who got expelled for having that creature that killed that girl."

"Yes, him. Well he's got a Hippogriff now on the grounds and I would be concerned for the students already but my godson was injured by the creature and Hagrid has the nerve to blame him!" I sneered.

"If you would kindly look into the case, we wouldn't want anyone else getting hurt" Lucius hissed. The men shrunk in their seats.

"Of course! Of course! How is your son Mr. Malfoy? Was there any permanent damage?" Mr. Maxi asked.

"Well he won't play quidditch as well, and it was his writing arm. His arm will never be the same" Lucius said dramatically.

"Yes, of course. Hippogriffs are known for violence, it's a horror that Dumbledore let one on the Hogwarts grounds. Yes we will take this to the minister!" He said quickly.

I smiled at him for the first time and he weakly smiled back.

"Well then, this meeting is over for me. Lucius want to discuss the details, but I have to get going." I said before leaving and flooing back to the Malfoy Manor.
