Chapter fourteen
It had been a week since Sirius's trial and it was also the day that Harry was getting released from the hospital. Emma had taken the day off to get him home and get him settled in. She was in the process of looking for a new house because with Harry's old house being right next door, she didn't want him to have to relive that day everytime he got onto or off of the school bus. She knew that he had a lot of nightmares a bout it and had already scheduled him to see a psychiatrist. Amelia had helped her find one that was already aware of the magical world so Harry would be able to speak freely with them. Ironically it is the same one that Amelia had convinced Sirius to go and see to help counter the effects of the dementors. She had talked to Sirius about Harry and had convinced him to let her be his Legal gaurdian in the muggle world and him be the magical gaurdian for not only Harry, but also Hermione.
She also had her own divorce coming ahead of her. Amelia had told her that since Dan was no longer gonna be part of the family that she was gonna have to have the knowledge of the magical world obliviated from his mind. He was gonna be left with the memory of his infidelity and that is why he was divorcing her. Emma didn't like it but she acknowleged that is was for the best. She was in the waiting room when the doctor walked in with Harry. She looked at him and smiled.
"You ready to go home," she asked?
He looked at her and nodded, a hint of a smile on his face. The doctor had told her that he would still have some soreness for a few more days because of how long the tube had been down his throat and that he might not talk much.
"He is all yours Mrs. Granger," the doctor said, "you take it easy Harry."
Harry smiled up at her and she walked away leaving them to head home. Emma grabbed the bag that he had and they walked to the elevator. It took them to the ground floor and they walked to her car and they made the trip home in silence.
Amelia Bones walked into St. Mungos on a mission and God help anyone that got in her way. She walked up to the information desk and after waiting to be acknowleged for a couple minutes she cleared her throat to get the woman'a attention. The young lady looked up at her with irriation on her face but that changed to fear immediately when she saw who was at her desk.
"Can I help you Madam Bones," she spluttered out.
Amelia rolled her eyes at this as she looked at the young lady.
"Yes," she said, "I am here to see Sirius Black."
The woman nodded her head and checked her papers to see what room he was in. As soon as she found it she told her the information and slumped down in her chair as soon as Madam Bones walked away.
As soon as Amelia made it to Sirius's room she knocked and waited for a response before entering. She saw Sirius laying on his bed with the head part propped up so that he was sitting up. Sirius smiled when he saw her enter.
"Amy," he hollered, "so good to see you."
"How many times have I told you not to call me that," she said annoyance clearly etched on her face.
"Well it's been a few years so I forgot," he said trying to look ashamed but with a ghost of a smile on his face betraying his mirth.
"Damn marauders," she grumbled.
Sirius barked out a laugh and motioned for her to sit down. Amelia pulled a chair near his bed and pulled out a file.
"So is this a social business or something else," he asked warily eyeing the folder in her hand.
"I have come across some information that paints a disturbing picture of the life of Harry," she told him.
"What information," he asked his eyes narrowing.
"It seems that there was more to Vernon Dursley than even his wife knew about," she told him, "he wasn't born a Dursley."
"He was adopted," Sirius asked?
"Yes he was," she said, "when he was eleven he was left at an orphonage outside of London."
"Why when he was eleven," he asked, "that doesn't make sense...unless."
His eyes widened at the realisation.
"That's right," she said when she saw that he undertood, "he was born Vernon Malfoy."
Sirius could only stare open-mouthed at that statement.
"Malfoy," he stuttered.
"Yes," she continued, "he was the squib son of Abraxus Malfoy."
"Oh my god," Sirius exclaimed.
"There is more," she told him.
"What else could there be," Sirius asked afraid of the answer?
"Marge Dursley was born Marjorie Umbridge," she said, "she is the squib sister of our own esteemed under-secretary Delores Umbridge."
"How is this possible," Sirius asked, "this seems like something out of a badly written book." (a/n: I couldn't help but almost break the fourth wall lol)
"She has applied for custody of young Harry," Amelia stated.
Sirius jerked his head up at that statement.
"We can't let that woman get her hands on my godson," he stated heatedly.
"We are gonna do everything we can to prevent it from happening," she responded, "Emma Granger is also going to applying for custody of him."
Sirius smiled at this as he had heard a lot about Emma and her young daughter Hermione.
"We are waiting on the wills of Vernon and Petunia Dursley to be read before we move forward," she said.
"How is the investigation going," Sirius asked?
"They just closed the case stating that Vernon murdered his wife and son and tried to kill Harry," she said, "there will be no charges against Harry for Vernon's death as it was clearly self-defense."
"So that means that Petunia's will is going to be the only one valid," Sirius stated.
Amelia nodded before looking up at the clock.
"I have to go but I will be back in the moring to escort you out of here to see Harry," she said.
With that she walked out of the room and back to her office.
A/N: So what did you think of that little twist. I have never read any stories with Vernon and Marge being squib children before and I thought it would be interesting as an explanation for their attitude towards Harry. As always read and review.
TT
A/N: I will be putting a poll up about the pairings. Do you want it to stay H/Hr or Harry with someone else. Let me know.
