Forgot to mention in the first chapter but I own nothing but the OCs
Also each chapter could stand alone but I am putting them all together.
Chapter 2: Access Denied
Dolores Umbridge smirked proudly as she walked through St. Mungo's and rode the lifts to the sixth floor. She'd discovered a most juicy bit of information on the esteemed Deputy and Headmaster and was quite eager to have it confirmed.
She entered the psychiatric ward and her snooty attitude took over as she sniffed looking unpleasantly at all the wackos around the large room twitching or chatting away to themselves or whatever odd behavior they were displaying. She walked over to the information nurses station and tapped on the glass.
"Yes how may I help you?" the nurse asked.
She was a very old looking woman with a name take that read: Nurse Baker.
"Ah Baker yes I'd like to see Annette Dumbledore please," Umbridge replied.
Baker smirked, "Ma'am we don't have a Dumbledore in this facility."
"Yes you do," Umbridge frowned.
"No ma'am I'm sorry we don't. I've worked here longer than anyone but our head Healer and I can tell you that no such person is here," the nurse replied.
"Then let me speak with your head," Dolores snapped in agitation.
Baker nodded and picked up a phone as her voice broadcasted over the intercom.
"Healer McGonagall to the front. Healer McGonagall to the front please," the nurse called and hung up the phone.
"McGonagall?" Umbridge asked looking a little frightened.
"Yes…Don't you know Katherine McGonagall is head of the Psychiatrics? Benjamin McGonagall is head of the Spell Damage Ward," the nurse frowned.
"I'm in a conference meeting Alice who wants me?" a voice called over a private intercom in the glass station.
"A woman here seems confused. She's looking for a Dumbledore," Baker answered.
"Send her back," the voice replied.
"She'll see you in her office Ma'am. Just through this door and it's the red door on the left," Baker explained buzzing Umbridge into the office hall.
Dolores found the door she'd been told to and read on the gold plaque on the door: Katherine G. McGonagall; PhD, MD Head of Psychiatrics.
Dolores knocked and heard a crisp enter. She opened the door and found a slim and aristocratic woman sitting in a black leather armchair behind a large oak desk. The woman was quite beautiful with ebony hair that had grey streaks running through it in long ringlets. Her eyes were a deep and large emerald and she wore a white lab coat over her red dress.
Sitting across from her in a slightly smaller leather arm chair was a broad shoulder muscular man with salt and pepper short hair with a trimmed goatee with grey eyes. He was in a black three piece suit and white lab coat. He was incredibly handsome.
"Hello," Katherine replied, "I'm Healer McGonagall and this is my husband…"
"Healer McGonagall," the man winked and laughed as he stood and held his hand to the woman.
Katherine made no move to stand.
"Dolores Umbridge," Dolores replied shaking his hand.
"Ah so it's you that put my baby in my ward," Benjamin stated as he sat back down.
Katherine twitched her head to the other leather chair across from her desk. Dolores sat looking mildly worried.
"What are you talking about?" Dolores asked.
"I assume you realize it is illegal to attack an unarmed teacher on Hogwarts grounds without due cause. Especially a pregnant one," Katherine replied crossing her arms.
"I…what?" Dolores blinked.
"My daughter nearly lost a two month fetus. You are lucky Poppy Pomfrey is the nurse at that school," Benjamin replied.
"Now that we know what an idiot you are…what in blazes are you here for?" Katherine asked.
"I'm looking for Annette Dumbledore. I have proof here that…that she is the illegitimate child of Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall," Dolores replied looking flustered.
She was starting to feel her hopes going down the drain. Umbridge was also disturbed at the fact that these two were speaking causally to her she could feel the crackle of their magics in the silent rage they were hiding.
"There is no illegitimate child of Dumbledore and McGonagall. To have a bastard child the parents should not want it. This is not the case," Katherine stated.
"Then she's here," Dolores replied.
"There is no Dumbledore child here," Benjamin stated, "Unless you count Bridgett and Rachel."
"Who?" Dolores asked.
"Ah you see in my ward no longer are they called by their original names because they are not yet back to their original person. In my ward all the patients are given new names," Katherine smiled, "So should you ever join my 'little children' as I call them you would me named….Gertrude I think."
"Well….how do the visitors know who they are looking for?" Dolores asked.
"Most of the families know the new names," Benjamin answered.
"Well…who does Minerva come to see?" Dolores asked.
"No one in the last two weeks. I thank you for ruining that," Katherine replied.
Dolores sighed this was becoming very tiresome. She wondered did these two crackpots always play mind games.
"I believe our children would say yes to that thought," Benjamin chuckled inside his wife's head.
"We're doctors it's our specialty," Katherine answered.
"Should we let her see the girls?" Benjamin asked.
"Well there isn't any proof she's Albus'…plus Albus told me she'd be coming. You know he had to save her from the centaurs," Katherine giggled in his head.
"No! Really? How'd she manage that?" Benjamin asked.
"Granger and Potter led her to a giant and she was carted off by the centaurs," Katherine answered.
"That is truly comical…now back to the lady," Benjamin nodded.
"Okay so she has come to see someone before. Who was it? Who has Albus Dumbledore come to see?" Dolores asked.
"They come to see several. They are so nice to their former students," Katherine smiled.
Dolores sighed again.
"All right…can you take me to the ones they see the most?" Dolores asked hopefully.
"Certainly," Katherine nodded and stood pressing a button on a box on her desk.
"Alice take messages I'm going to go be mommy," Katherine stated.
"Aye, aye captain," the answer was.
"Okay let's go," Katherine replied flicking her hair over her shoulder.
"I'd love to go but I have my own work sadly. Thanks for lunch sexy it was excellent as always," Benjamin replied as he pulled her too him once she got around her desk and kissed her sweetly.
"Get out of here," Katherine replied slapping his hip as he left. Dolores watched them oddly.
"Shall we?" Katherine asked standing by her door.
Dolores blinked unaware the woman had moved from in front of her.
"You're certainly fast for a woman of your age," Dolores remarked as Katherine shut the door behind them.
"Exactly how old do you think I am?" Katherine replied.
"Um I didn't…that is to say…"
"Miss Umbridge where I am about to take you meaning what you say and saying what you mean is vital to these children. All three of them are of the mindset of seven year olds. I've reason to believe only one or two of them will ever get to even a age of fifteen mental capacity if that," Katherine stated as they exited the offices and were back in the main room.
"Oooh McG…McG I got to talk to you about the bugs in my head," a twitchy old man stated as he hurried to the two women.
Katherine took out a small pin light and flashed it in the man's ear.
"It's a conga line Jeff they aren't plotting to kill you. I'll have Baker flush your head with water in a few," Katherine replied.
The man sighed and saluted her.
"Thanks McG," he nodded and hurried off again.
"Conga line of insects?" Dolores asked as Katherine started toward a set of double doors marked: ISOLATION.
"Jeff believes he has a head full of insects ever since he crash landed in a swamp in the Grindelwald War. There is of course nothing in there but it's better to tell him the insects are merely playing and not trying to eat his brain. In many cases of the long term Miss Umbridge it's better to indulge them from time to time," Katherine explained as she typed in the code and the double doors slid apart.
"Here is the isolation ward," Katherine replied as they walked through, "every one of these rooms has its own code and I am the only healer these people constantly see. Many of these people have been deserted by their families and I have become a sort of Den Mother to them while in the main ward I am simply one of the favorite doctors."
"I see," Dolores nodded.
"Now it is lunch time so the three girls we want to see are all in one room. They get along together well so I usually let the nurses let them play with each other," Katherine explained as they came to the very last room on the hall.
Katherine typed in the code for the room and entered with Dolores following behind.
In the room Dolores saw a girl of fifty-four that was of medium height and size with blonde curls and blue eyes, a girl of fifty-four that was short and slim with straight blonde hair and grey eyes, and a short slim girl of forty with ebony locks and blue green eyes. All three were seated at a table eating from little trays and chatting away about something or other.
The grey eyed child happened to look up as the door shut and squealed as she bolted from the chair and jumped at the Healer.
Dolores backed up thinking Katherine was being attacked and instead found Katherine chuckling happily as she situated the girl on her hip like she would any other child.
"How have you been Natasha?" Katherine asked.
"I've been very good today mummy," the woman replied hugging the healer and kissing her cheek.
"And hello to you girls too," Katherine called as she came over to the table and sat in Natasha's vacated chair with the girl on her lap.
"Hi granny," Rachel smiled.
"Hi Auntie Katy," the blue eyed child smiled and giggled.
"What's so funny Bridgett?" Katherine asked.
"Katy, Katy is batty," Bridgett giggled causing the other two girls to giggle.
"Oh I see we've learned a new rhyme," Katherine smirked.
Bridgett nodded.
"Now girls I have a guest with me. This is Dolores Umbridge. She was a professor at Hogwarts this year and is a ministry flunky," Katherine replied gesturing for Dolores to come closer.
"Hi Miss Umbridge," the girl answered politely.
"Hello," Dolores nodded, "Would you three explain to me who you are?"
"I'm Katherine's god daughter," Bridgett answered.
"I'm her baby," Natasha stated.
"I'm her baby's baby," Rachel replied.
"You're not my baby," Natasha frowned.
"No silly I'm Mina's baby," Rachel replied.
"Oh yeah," Natasha nodded and frowned, "Wait a minute…you're the lady that put my sissy in the hospital. She doesn't like hospitals you made her very upset."
"My mummy and brothers were very cross," Bridgett nodded.
"I decided I don't like you anymore since you hurt my mummy," Rachel huffed.
"I see. And who is your daddy…Rachel is it?" Dolores asked.
"My daddy is very nice and very strong. He can hold me still just like granny," Rachel answered turning to look at the woman.
"Mina can't though without magic because she's special," Bridgett stated.
"She's a baby," Natasha replied looking at Delores.
"No Natasha I said she has a baby not she is a baby," Katherine replied.
"You mean I get to be an auntie?" Natasha asked.
Katherine nodded.
"I get to be one too!" Bridgett exclaimed.
"I get to be the big sister now!" Rachel squealed the three girls bolted from their chairs and jumped on the little bed jumping up and down singing some nonsense song about babies.
Katherine stood and came over to Dolores.
"Miss Umbridge may I speak freely?" Katherine replied.
Umbridge nodded and was shocked went Katherine had her hand around the woman's throat and the woman against the wall.
"These children have been through hell because of people like you and people like Voldemort. You stick your nose in my ward again it better be because you are a patient or I won't be so accommodating," Katherine hissed.
Dolores whimpered and nodded as the room door slid open and their stood Nurse Baker.
"Oh she's still poking around? Well at any rate I have the girl's medicines," Baker replied holding up a small tray with three medicine cups.
"I'll see to it. Alice show Miss Umbridge out," Katherine replied letting the toad go not taking her eyes off of her.
"Noted," Baker nodded taking Dolores' arm, "Come along ma'am your visiting hour is up!"
