Interview with Lucy

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. He belongs to J K Rowling. I don't own the Dallas Characters or South Fork Either.

-OOOOO-

James Sirius Potter visited the American branch of International Magical Cooperation and got permission to Interview Lucy Ewing. He was told she was at South Fork. He flew to Dallas and was met by an American Auror and an FBI agent.

Lucy had not had good luck with men or much else. She was still bitter about J R taking her from her mother in Virginia even though now her mother and J R were dead. She hated Abby for taking her father from her mother. Abby was still alive but old. She was somewhere out in California.

John Ross and Christopher had shown her every kindness. She missed her parents and her Uncle Bobby. Now the FBI was coming to talk to her about her deceased Uncle J R. She was not sure what she was to do.

-OOOOO-

James landed in Dallas dressed as a Muggle. After he got out of the airport. The Auror and FBI Agent introduced themselves and drove James to South Fork. It was quite beautiful and warmer than James was accustomed to.

The went to the door and the FBI agent held up his badge, "I'm Special Agent Childress and this is James Sirius Potter," said the Agent. "We are here to see Lucy Ewing. It's about a wizarding matter Christopher."

"Lucy is not aware of wizards," said Christopher.

"We'll explain," said James. "She had nothing to be afraid of and she might as well get used to little John Ross being a wizard. He will be attending Hogwarts. My Dad and Grandfather both went there."

"You're not from the United States," said Christopher. "You are speaking with a British accent."

"I am a British Auror or Dark Wizard Catcher," said James. "Officer Black is an American Auror. Agent Childress is a Muggle like yourself and works with the FBI on Muggle-wizarding matters."

James and his party were seated. Christopher fetched Lucy. He left her alone to visit with James and his party.

Agent Childress identified himself.

"Now what has J R done?" asked Lucy bitterly. "You know J R is dead and buried. He ruined my parents' life with the help of a woman named Abby."

"Lucy we are not here because of J R," said James. "We are here because of John Ross the fourth. He has an ability that is only possessed by about one in ten thousand humans. He is a wizard. A real one, not like the ones in story books. Your Uncles J R and Bobby knew of this and so do John Ross and Christopher. Our existence is a secret. We are known to about one in a thousand non-magacial people. We call them Muggles. By law you are not to repeat what I am telling you."

James went on with the secrecy statute and explained a little magical law. He told Lucy about Hogwarts.

-OOOOO-

Lucy stepped over and poured herself a glass of alcoholic beverage and began sipping it.

"How much do you drink, Lucy?" asked James.

"As much as I please!" snapped Lucy. "Right now I need a drink!"

"Liquor is available to anyone who wants it, any time they want it!" said James. "Most of the Death Eaters didn't drink that much! It helped mess up your father and you want some too! You drink too much and do foolish things after you drink. It's going to make you sick like your father."

"My father was weak!" snapped Lucy.

"Your father was not weak," said James. "He was simply susceptible. Way too much of that. How long have you been drinking?"

"Since I was fourteen," said Lucy. "Miss Ellie caught me and I got the hairbrush. I only learned how to hide. Uncle J R didn't care but Uncle Bobby caught me and switched me and then he and J R got into a fight. Grandpa broke it up and told me not to drink until I was twenty-one."

"In my family we very rarely drink," said James. "I'm glad of that now."

-OOOOO-

"Lucy what do you know of a hand called Travis Bryant?" asked James.

"Grandpa hired him and Uncle Bobby turned him in. J R was real mad about it," said Lucy. "He and I were in love and Uncle Bobby ruined it. He made Travis break off with me and then Travis was arrested. Christopher and John Ross shot his guts out and nearly killed him."

"Travis is alive and living in England. Our Minister of Magic released him from our Azkaban Wizarding Prison. Bobby did not make Travis break from you. It was a very bad wizard name Tom Riddle alias Lord Voldemort. Tom caused a terrible war among British wizards and made some trips abroad. Most of the people he met he killed."

"Triavis' real name is not Travis Bryant but Travis Dolohov. He was very bitter about being forced to break up with you and was never a willing follower of Voldemort. He broke up with you and did some of Voldemort's bidding to keep you alive. He is a wizard, Lucy. I spoke with him."

"Do you think he still has feelings for me?" asked Lucy.

"He told me he did," said James.

"Do you think he'll like me with my grey, almost white hair.

"This is how I used to look," said Lucy showing James a picture of herself when she was younger. "Now I'm grey."

"He's rotted in prison for more than twenty five years," sobbed Lucy. "He'll be messed up."

"Lucy, if you still love this man give him a chance," said James. "It appears you and he a casualties of the wizarding war. I'm told you have had it hard. Perhaps our Minister of Magic will pardon him."

James had tears in his eyes. The phone rang.

"It's for you James," said a white haired woman. "Don't worry. I already know about your world from J R. I'm Sue Ellen."

"Hello I'm calling from my parent's house. It's Hermione. Tell Lucy I just gave Travis Dolohov a full pardon. He is going by Travis Bryant."

"She's right here!" said James and handed the phone to Lucy.

Lucy listened to Hermione. Then she cried with joy.

"He wants to see me!" she exclaimed.

James picked up a ball pen and wrote the address.

"He's living in a house next to the one my Dad grew up in," said James.

As they were finished with there interview they left.

-OOOOO-

A few days later Lucy and Travis were reunited. A week later they were married. They lived in Little Winging for a while and then went to South Fork.
