Meanwhile, Thanatos flew to Hogwarts and found the window to the 5th year boys' dormitory. He pecked the window a few times until Seamus let him in. He flew over to Neville's bed and waited. Seamus tried to take the letter but the falcon tried to bite him.

"Watch out for the bloody bird, Ron. It nearly bit me," Seamus warned the redhead as he escaped the room.

Ron saw Thanatos and noticed the parchment. He ended up scratched and bleeding before he noticed the 'NL' on the front.

"Oi, Neville. Come and get the bloody letter before it does anymore damage to me," he yelled down to the common room.

Neville literally ran up the stairs and called Thanatos down from his new perch above Neville's bed. The falcon gave him the letter and took up his spot again. Neville opened the letter and ran back downstairs. Using the decipher, he uncoded the letter.

Nev,

I got here safe. I'll talk to Dumbledore about you coming here for a visit during the holidays. I'll go nuts without you here. You're like my rock. Good luck on exams. If Thanatos is still there, send a reply.

Pyx

He started in on a letter back to her and was the last one to leave the common room. He sure hoped that he'd be able to visit. Neville could still taste her grape lip gloss on his lips.

In the morning, Neville rolled up his letter to Pyx and gave it to Thanatos. The falcon took it and left. He didn't leave Hogwarts just yet. He had a little gift for Draco that needed delivering. He left the letter in a safe place and got ready.

The morning post arrived and Thanatos flew in with the owls. Rather than attack now, he bided his time. When the owls seemed to clear out, he swooped in. He attacked the Slytherin with his talons, scratching the boy's face and hands. On his way out, Thanatos pooped right on his hair.

He got what he deserved, he thought.

What did you do, Thanatos? Pyx asked.

Nothing. Neville has a letter for you.

Then hurry back.

Thanatos did as his owner told him. She was waiting on edge to read his letter. Pyx was surprised to see that it filled 2 pieces of parchment. As she read, a smile appeared on her lips. Pyx couldn't wait to see him.

Thanatos, I need you to do me a favor. I don't know if it will be possible but I'd like you to try. Try to locate a man by the name of Peter Pettigrew. He likes to shrink down into a rat. If he does, catch him and bring him back. You can hurt him but don't kill him. I'll reward you big time if you can.

How long do you want me to search for him?

Pyx told him and sent the falcon on his way. If Wormtail couldn't be caught, then she'd use the journal and memories. If they still chose Malfoy as her guardian, then she'll disappear until she's of age, even if it meant not seeing Neville.

Dumbledore was not happy with her. She explained her plan to him and he seemed to be back to his old self. The twinkle had never left his eyes but it got brighter when she was done. Sirius was too speechless.

"There had been proof this whole time and no one knew about it," he yelled.

"Only Dad knew of the floor board. You must have had a place to hide stuff from your family."

"It was my entire room. They hated going in there. That's why there's Muggle posters everywhere."

"Ms. Malfoy-Black, you do realize the consequences if you show this journal and the memories to the court? Your uncle will not be pleased," Dumbledore said.

"Doesn't matter. He'll be in Azkaban. The only other problem would be my cousin and well, he can just sod off for all I care."

Pyx wrote another letter to Neville telling him about the plan, the entire plan. Dumbledore said that if his grandmother was OK with it, he could visit. She told him that she missed him deeply and couldn't wait to see him again.
