Chapter 3 "Fate Isn't Fair,"

It took less than a day for Amelia Bones to approve Frank, Sirius and James to work with the Americans to get this case closed before media got wind of it. She also gave Lily access to the case. She made it clear she wanted this done soon as possible. But she also told Sirius she wanted him to get a few more things for her, she wanted to know who this girl was, who wants her dead or who her parents were. The fact it was a five-year-old girl only made this case even more intense than other cases. Most five-year-olds aren't tortured and it isn't anywhere near normal.

"Is she awake let?" asked Sirius to Lily before he left the hotel for the day. He needed that girl awake. Her brother wasn't budging. And something about that boy that Sirius didn't like. There just wasn't something right with him.

"No but I do have a few things that are odd," said Lily taking a tan file folder out of her suitcase. She had even lock on the suitcase. It was clear she didn't want her kids seeing the file.

"This," she said handing the file. Sirius took the file flipping through it. It was filled with medical reports. Most of which Sirius had no idea what they meant.

"Translations," said Sirius. The only thing he got out of it that there was a medical reports on the girl. That typically was not a good thing.

"She's had several injuries. Sometime between six months and one year there was some sort of head trauma but no record of her coming into the only hospital in the area. There might be some results of it later on. She also has broken her foot, many different sprains, broken wrist, fractured her left arm several times and had a few cracked ribs," told Lily. Sirius eyes got larger each time.

"Abuse," stated Sirius. He knew everywhere in the world it happened every day. He had lived the nightmare. He had always thought that America was better at protecting the children, they had laws. But since when did laws protect children.

"I believe so but we still can't figure out who she is though," sighed Lily. Things still weren't looking good for the girl. Her previous injuries aren't helping her.

"There is no record of all this," said Sirius a bit baffled. It didn't make sense. That amount of injuries should have at least a few records of.

"None but that's not surprising. If she was from a pureblood family they most likely tried to hide it and could afford a private healer. It is also possible for a live-in nanny to have taken care of the injuries," offered Lily. She was certain someone had cared for the girl but how she wasn't sure let. It was most likely just home remedies. She hadn't seen anything like it come in St. Mungo's.

"Thanks," said Sirius taking the file with him as he went to meet Amelia Bones in a muggle café down the street. He didn't have much besides a bunch of clues that didn't add up. They all lead in some many different ways. Nothing was fitting together. He could use one single hint to the puzzle and he'd figure it out.

Before Sirius left he went to visit his kids and wife. Marlene was trying to eat breakfast with Alice, Frank and Neville but it wasn't working. Ulises and Penelope were fighting with each other and Morgana was screaming. Sirius hid the folder in his jacket. He didn't want anyone to see it.

"Oh Sirius when you're out pick up nappies," said Marlene. Sirius groaned but nodded. He hated getting nappies. He felt so out of place in a baby section. People always looked at him like he was going to try to kidnap their kids.

"Can you drop these off at the local archive for Remus?" asked Alice finding a stack of newspapers. Sirius picked them off of the table barely able to keep hold of all of them as he made his way to the café.

While Sirius was waiting for Amelia he flipped through the newspapers. He stopped at one page in particular. The main heading read: Bishop's Murdered, Christina and William found murdered in their home, daughter and son missing. He flipped through to find a drawing of the two kids. His mouth dropped open as he saw the drawings. He had seen those kids, talked to them. Then he remembered Remus had also seen this and he knew Remus had already figured out the puzzle. But Remus wasn't around, the full moon had been last night. He was sleeping in a cabin with an old friend somewhere northern part of the state. James and he had dropped him off there, it was literally in the middle of nowhere. Remus refused to let them stay because they had a case to solve.

"Sorry I am late, my babysitter had trouble getting through muggle London," said a tall blue eyed woman with curly blond hair that was twisted into a bun. Sirius didn't have to see her to know it was Amelia Bones. One you knew Amelia you could tell if it was her or not. There was just something about her.

Sirius had always respected Amelia even before the war. She was the last one in her family besides her niece. Her niece was Edgar's daughter, somehow the kid survived the attack by being hidden under a floor panel. Edgar had always been a bright man. Amelia took on her niece though she was not married. Sirius knew she'd never marry. He didn't have the guts to ask her why she wasn't going to marry.

"Its fine," said Sirius keeping that newspaper open. He wanted to be able to show it to Amelia on a quick notice.

"So what do you have for me Black?" asked Amelia.

"This," said Sirius handing over the file. Amelia took it from him and opened it. She was looking at every single detail which made it a very long process and rather boring for Sirius.

"There's damage to her left side of the brain may could become an issue for her. She may already have or develop dyscalculia but that can only be determined when she is awake. But there is a slight abnormality, an active part of the brain that usual isn't active, she's a seer. DNA wise there is the Seer gene, she has a rare strain of it. I'd say she's a Type A Seer but again she'd have to be tested when she is awake. Clearly she is abuse victim which could lead to emotional and behavioural disorders such as acute stress reaction or an anxiety disorder," said Amelia. She was highly educated in both the magical and muggle world. She had gotten a psychology degree, her parents left her with a sum of money that wouldn't ruin out anytime soon. She had worked with some of the best of the best in a lot of fields of work.

Sirius gave Amelia and odd look. Lily hadn't even gone into that much detail. He supposed Amelia had her job for a reason. She had to be very educated.

"What I got a muggle psychology degree," said Amelia. Sirius was surprised she went to a muggle university but again he wasn't. Amelia had always believed in furthering ones education in all horizons.

"You know the reason why we came here. I didn't think they'd find anything though," trailed of Sirius.

"I know Christina Chambers is really a Fortier and that she married into the Bishop family. You could have just asked," sighed Amelia. Christina had associated with Amelia's older brother Edgar. She never did understand why; part of her still didn't want to know what those two did.

"Did you do know she's dead?" asked Sirius. Part of him was furious she didn't tell them before they came to America. Now he was going to have to tell the girls they weren't going to find their friend alive.

"I didn't know that," frowned Amelia. The last time she heard from Christina was a few weeks after she got married. She seemed so happy. But she never did contact Amelia again.

Sirius slid over the article. Amelia frowned even more. She hadn't even heard of any murders that were unsolved in America since she took office. She had heard of a few in other parts Europe and into Asia.

"Are the two kids still missing?" asked Amelia. She hated the idea of those kids being in danger. She felt guilty enough knowing she knew where Christina was all these years and now she is dead. If she had taken a team in to get her than she'd be alive. Now there were two kids alone in the world.

"See the photograph in the file there, now look at this," said Sirius flipping the page to the sketches of the two children.

"Merlin," gasped Amelia. She realized that this went much deeper than they realized. Then it hit her the only child in protective custody was the girl. The boy was still an easy target.

"We have to find the boy now. If whoever attacked the girl finds out she's still alive from the boy it's going to get messy," said Amelia getting up out of her chair.

"What do I do with these?" asked Sirius hoping she wouldn't say carry them. They were heavy and how was he supposed to be able to duel carrying them. He didn't want to wreck them by shrinking them though.

Amelia took them to a waitress that was just getting off her shift. The waitress agreed to return the paper. Sirius still didn't know how she knew those things. It's like she just knew the waitress was getting off. He wondered what the secret to it was but he knew Amelia would never tell.

Haven Street was quite, eerily quite. It got worse the closer Amelia and Sirius got to the orphanage. The Orphanage looked more like the Shrieking Shack than a place for children. They turned and faced the opposite side of the street. There stood the abandoned shop the street kids lived in. Those the building was dingy, ruin-down and looked like it was going to fall down in the near future it looked better than the Orphanage.

Amelia and Sirius were getting ready to open the door when Nathan walked out of the building. The boy looked very pale, Sirius knew why. But he had never seen Remus look this pale before. The boy looked as if he had just seen the grim.

"I was just going to go looking for you coopers. I left this morning to go out of town for a few days but I forgot my lighter so I came back to what's in there," Nathan said coldly. Clearly the boy was bothered. Amelia and Sirius looked at each other. They both had the sicken feeling they were too late.

They entered into the shop. They knew that smell anywhere. It was death. Their hearts sank as a familiar head of blond locks came into view on the ground. Sirius knew they were too late. They hadn't gotten here quick enough.

"He's dead," said Amelia after checking for a pulse "judging from the body temperature I'd say by several hours." She felt horribly guilty. She could have saved the boy. She could have saved his mother. Now she knew she would save his sister. She'd die trying if she had to.

"Amelia look at this," said Sirius "and that." One disturbing site another a clue to who the killer was. Sirius felt so stupid for not thinking about this before. He mentally kicked himself for not thinking about it like that. He was an auror it was his job to think outside the box.

Amelia looked disgusted at the floor. There was a note written in blood, the boy's own blood. It actually looked like two notes, one made by the killer the other by the boy. It was sicking to look at. Then she also so what looked like small tracks from the pool of blood but it was an abandoned building there were rodents all over the place.

"Better off without him, son like father," said Amelia. That note was from the killer. It was a disturbing note. Since clearly his father was an abusive man taking out his anger on any living thing even killing his own parents and children. It was also possible it was a mental disorder than had been passed down in the male genes.

"I did not tell," mumbled Sirius. The boy had refused to talk and now he was dead. He must have honestly cared for his sister. Sirius knew that was the difference between the boy and his father. The boy's father was incapable of feeling love while the boy was not.

"Get the Americans over here. I think we just solved two murder cases for them," sighed Amelia walking outside of the shop. There was nothing more she could do inside. She felt so angry at herself. You could see it in the way she walked.

"Boy get out of here," told Amelia. Nathan left in a hurry knowing he had to get out to the country before nightfall. He didn't want to hurt anyone. And he had other werewolf friends that supported him. They all went out in the country on a full moon. It was a great support system.

The American police force showed up and took the boy's body. Sirius couldn't even look at the boy. He was so close to keeping the boy alive. Now he is dead. That poor little girl was the last of her family. She was just a kid, it wasn't fair. James and Frank knew something was very wrong when they saw Amelia. It took a matter of minutes for them to realize that the body bag was rather small, a child was in the bag.

"I figured out who the two kids were. We didn't get here fast enough," sighed Sirius. Frank felt instantly guilty, he was in the same room with the boy. He could have saved him by keeping him in the hotel instead of letting the police take him. James paled, he felt worse than he already had been since they found the girl.

"The Unforgivables have been contained to just Europe but it was the killing curse and few other nasty spells," said Amelia. She took out a cigarette and lit it using the tip of her finger. A mere dusting of what she was capable of doing.

"Potter, Black I need so speak with you two now," said Amelia walking into the middle of the street so she wouldn't start the abandoned shop on fire. The last thing she wanted was a fire that she caused by smoking on the job. It was nasty habit but it calmed her nerves. James and Sirius fallowed. "Longbottom get over here too!" she called out. Frank came without hesitation.

"We all know Christina's real family history. We all know she was working as a double agent for the Order. We also know the Order had a traitor. We need a bases to get this girl out of this country. I need something here," said Amelia. She had fully had the intention of getting the girl out of United States since day one. This new information only intensified her reasoning.

"Well, if any would want to get rid of Christina and her whole family it would be the traitor. The only person who could totally prove the person's involvement in trail. Though it isn't good reasoning because now the person will go to prison without a trail," said Frank. He left Sirius or James to tell Amelia who the traitor was. Sirius and James gave each other glances. Amelia rolled her eyes, she didn't have time for this.

"Quit with the googly eyes and give me a name," ordered Amelia. She had a dead child, she wasn't going to be patient. She wanted the son-of-the-bitch in Azkaban.

"Peter Pettigrew is the traitor," said James. Amelia huffed, this would have been helpful a few minutes ago. She could have been tracking him by now.

"He's going to try for the girl again. This time we get him," told Amelia. She wasn't going to let him get away with murder and treason. He was going to Azkaban in one piece or multiple pieces.

POP! POP! POP! POP! The four aurors disappeared heading to the hospital. They would protect this girl if it was the last thing they did. They all felt a sense of loyalty to the girl.

It was two long days with no action. The kids were all being watched by Lily and Marlene since Amelia had brought Alice into it to. Between Amelia, Alice, Frank, James, Sirius and a few people Amelia called in they have 24/7 coverage. Nothing had happened and everyone was anxious.

They all had been looking at things a different way. They all thought Peter was using his rat form but he was using something much more advanced. Something no one expected. It seemed so cunning for 'stupid' Peter to come up with.

When the American police chief came over to the group and went into the girl's room. No one asked any questions. Not even Amelia. They let him straight into the room.

Not even five minutes later did Marlene show up looking distraught and desperate. Sirius knew something was wrong, Marlene was the tough girl that keep her mask of composure at all time. The idea that Marlene left Lily with all those kids was a sign something was not right.

"What is it?" asked Sirius.

"Have you seen the Chief yet?" asked Marlene quickly. She had her wand out ready for a duel.

"Yeah, we just let him into the room," said James.

Marlene let out a groan. "Just let me into the room. Trust me, if you guys go barging in it's all over," gasped Marlene between breaths.

"Let her in," said Amelia. James and Sirius made way for Marlene. Marlene went into the room as a lioness stalking the pray. Ready to pounce on a second notice.

Once the door shut the aurors were cut off from what was going on inside. The door locked behind her. The aurors went right to work trying to unlock the door but Amelia knew nothing they could do was going to do was going to unlock it.

Alice could see the flashes of lights leaking through the crack of the bottom of the door. Inside there was a heated battle but yet they couldn't hear a thing nor were they getting in anytime soon. Even a basting charm was going to open the door, it was magically sealed by very strong magic. Stronger than Alice knew Marlene could perform. She was worried for her friend and her dead friend's daughter. She cursed herself for not fallowing. Nothing would have alarmed anyone if only one other person went in there. She was on the verge of melting down but she wasn't going to let herself break down until that door was open and she discovered whatever nightmare they were going to find.

Alice pressed her ear to the door as the three men realized they weren't going to be able to open it. CRASH! Alice jumped back her ear ringing, muting her temporarily. She pressed her other ear to the door risking another deafening crash. She could swear she could hear a female voice, a voice that belonged to someone long dead and something that sounded like growling.

A scream filled the air in the hallway. A scream coming from the entrance. James and Sirius ran towards the entrance. Alice kept her ear to the door. Frank was guarding Alice. Amelia was ready to launch spells either direction. Everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Every single team member could hear their own hearts pounding. This was one of those cases that would forever be itched into their memories.

When Sirius and James came back having Peter Pettigrew in their custody Alice became more worried. Who in Merlin's name was Marlene fighting? Was the girls still alive? What does this have to do with the Chief?

"I never hurt Christina. I tried to warn her about him but it was too late. I tried to get to the boy but I was too late," cowered Peter. Alice began to piece together things. The chief was the real danger. He had even said to them he had been kept on a need-to-know basis with the Unforgiveables.

"Who!" yelled Amelia, she was not in the mood for games. She one of her Auror's wives in danger along with a little girl. If the fact she wanted Peter to rot in Azkaban she would have tortured him for information and killed him.

"The Chief," said Peter. "He was her husband's friend. They killed people together for him, they were supposed to kill Christina but her husband backed out. So the Chief killed him and got away with it. Ever since he's been tracking those kids. He tried to get rid of the girl first but things didn't go as planned," said Peter. "You guys weren't supposed to be here," he added.

"You better be telling the truth or I swear I will personally drop you off at Azkaban. Trust me I will make your stay even more hellish then it's going to be," warned Amelia.

A scream filled the air in the hallway. Everyone held their eyes, even Peter whom could have escaped at this point. No one could even make out if it was a child's scream or an adult's scream. No one was even sure if it was a human's scream. It had brought everyone to their knees in agony. If it lasted much longer all of them would be killed by the high pitched noise.

Sorry this took so long. I had a bit of writer's block. Thanks for readying please review. No one guessed the questions. Oh well.
