Chapter Ten
When Madam Bones arrived at the house it was crawling with police and other emergency personel. She walked up to one of the officers and showed her muggle badge and asked the officer who was in charge.
"That would be inspector Bailey," the officer replied pointing to a man in a grey suit.
"Thank you," she replied as she turned to her two aurors and gave them orders to try and gather whatever information she could.
She walked to the inspector and showed her badge. He studied it for a couple of minutes before handing it back to her.
"What can i do for you Ms. Bones," he asked?
"You can start by telling me what happened here," she replied.
He told her that they can only guess what happened after recieving an emergency call from this address.
"It seems Mr. Dursley didn't take too kindly to his wife filing for divorce," he told her, "we had already arrested hima couple of times for harrassment."
"What are the names of the victims," Amelia asked?
He pulled a notebook out of his pocket and looked at it before answering.
"A Mrs Petunia Dursley and her son Dudley," he said.
"And what was the survivors name," she asked.
"A Harry Potter," he said after looking at his notebook, "apparently he was Mrs. Dursley's nephew."
Amelia tried to hide her shock at that statement but was unsucessful.
"You know who he is," the inspector asked?
"Yes I do," she replied, "I need to speak to my men."
With that she turned around and walked to her aurors while many thoughts were running through her head, none of them any good. She approached her aurors and steeled her features.
"Kingsley report," she said to the big black auror.
"It seems like a muggleborn used an outburst of accidental magic to protect theirself," he replied, "although I haven't yet gotten a name."
"This needs to be contained with as little obliviation as possible," she told him, "mostly memories are gonna need to be modified just a little bit."
"Fudge won't like that," he replied.
"Fudge will only be told as little about this as possible," she told him.
Kingsley raised his eyebrows at this and wondered why that was but he also knew that his boss had to have her reasons so said nothing. Amelia called her other auror over.
"I am gonna have to invoke your secresy clauses," she told them.
Both Kingsley's and O'brien's eyes went wide at that statement as those clauses were to be taken very seriously and were hardly ever used because of how dangerous they could be. They both realized that this case was gonna be a doozy.
When Amelia arrived at the hospital after sending her aurors to finish their reports she went looking for whatever information she could find out about Harry Potter. She found the doctor that had terated him and found out that he had several injuries including a skull fracture and several scrapes and bruises. They were going to keep him for a few days, especially now that his guardians are both dead. She found his room and when she went in she found a woman with brown hair sitting next to his bed and a young girl with brown bushy hair in her lap. The little girl had to be her daughter, but the question was who this woman was. They both looked up at the sound of the door opening and Amelia could see signs that they had been both been crying, actually the little girl still was.
"Can I help you," the woman asked?
"My name is Amelia Bones," she replied showing her badge, "I am investigating what happened earlier today."
Before the woman said anything the little girl grabbed the badge real quick and studied it.
"Are you a witch," she asked looking up at her?
"Yes I am," Amelia replied surprised, "how did you know?"
"Your badge says Departmen of Magical Law enforcement," she said.
"I am sorry, but what is your name," Amelia asked.
"I'm sorry," the woman said, "my name is Emma Granger and this is my daughter Hermoine."
Amelia shook both of their hands and told them that she was glad to meet them. She then pulled a chair in front of them so she could talk to them.
"How do you know of magic Hermoine," Amelia asked, "it is obvious your mother is not a witch or she would have known who I was."
Emma and Hermoine both explained about what had happened with Harry and Hermoine and about the discussion with Petunia. Hermoine got excited when she told her about her and Harry going through some of his mother's notebooks and some of her old schoold books. That led to a short discussion about some of the spells they had read about.
"I can tell you are going to be a Ravenclaw," Amelia said smiling.
"Ravenclaw," Hermoine said with a puzzled look.
"Oh, it's one of the houses at Hogwarts," Amelia explained
"I read about that in some of Lily's notes," Hermoine said excitedly.
"Why are here about Harry," Emma asked, "I have a feeling you don't do this with every case that comes your way."
"I can see where your daughter comes by her intelligence and inquisitive nature," Amelia replied.
Amelia tried to explain about Harry's status in the magical world but before she could get very far into the story they heard a beeping sound come from Harry's bed and before they could react the room was swarmed with nurses and doctors. They were escorted out of the room and the door was closed.
"What's going on mommy," Hermoine asked trying not to cry.
Emma hugged her daughter to her trying not to cry herself
"I don't know sweetie," she replied, "I don't know."
Amelia stood there worried and not sure what to do.
