Taking one last deep breath, James Potter strolled through the door to the Ministry of Magic's Department of Criminal Investigations. Eton the house elf followed Master James, ready to tell all he had seen and make the evil flower lady pay for what she did to poor Master Harry.

"James! In here."

As soon as the door closed behind them, James was being interrogated.

"Are you okay? Where's Harry? Is he okay? Are either of you ill? Where are you staying? You're more than welcome to stay with Alice and me." Auror Frank Longbottom was usually a calm man, but the fire-call from his old friend a few days ago had had him in a near panic.

"I'm as good as I can be, Frank. Harry's fine now. We're all in good health and we're staying at Hogwarts, you know that. Did I miss anything?"

"Where is Harry?"

"With Sirius."

"Sirius...Black? That Sirius? The cheating bastard Sirius?"

James sighed. "Yes, that Sirius."

"HAVE YOU GONE MAD?!"

"Frank, it's a long story and I don't think I can go through two in one day."

"I-"

"Please, Frank."

Frank huffed. "Fine. But I will get some answers."

"How are Alice and Neville?"

"No changing the subject."

"Right."

Silence reigned.

James grinned. "Are we going over the case anytime today?"

"Right, right. The case. Now, are we going to use Veritaserum or a pensieve?"

"Which do you prefer, Elton?"

The house elf looked away from the horrid pile of dust in the far left corner. You wouldn't see anything like that at Potter Manor.

"Either, Master James."

Frank nodded. "Perhaps, if you don't mind, we could use both. Double the proof, so to speak."

Elton straightened his shoulders. He was ready for the evil ex-Mistress to finally pay for her sins.


I bet you thought you'd get to know what Lily did. Sorry, I'm going to torture you for a while longer.
