Chapter 10: St. Mungo's

Fri, Nov 9th, Charms

"Come in," Flitwick squeaked after someone knocked on the door.

"Professor Weasley asked me to bring this to you, Professor," a sixth year Gryffindor I only knew by sight said handing Professor Flitwick a scroll of parchment.

"Thank you Alex," he replied, "Lily and Hugo, after class you are to go to the Transfiguration classroom."

'Bring'

"Class Dismissed, no Homework."

"I wonder what Hermione wants," I said.

"No idea."

Fred, James, Lucy, Rose, Albus, Alice, Neville, Luna, Dad, and Hermione were all waiting there when Hugo and I got there.

"Okay, now all we need is Loran, Roxanne, and Lysander," Dad said, "They are now allowing your mum to have visitors in small groups. Grandma and Grandpa are already there."

"This is a small group?" Fred asked skeptically.

"No, we're not all going to go in at once."

6:15

"Excuse me, no one is allowed down this hallway," a healer told us.

"One second, I'll see what's going on," Dad said. He could get just about any information he wanted being Head Auror…and savior of the wizarding world ect. ect.

"Harry!" Grandma called.

"Hello, do you know what's wrong?"

"No, I don't. One of the healers rushed in about ten minuets ago to tell us that we had to leave," Grandma told him.

"Alright, well I'm going to see if I can find any thing else out. The rest of you can do whatever, but no causing any trouble," Dad told the group at large but I knew the last part was directed mostly at Fred, James, and I.

"Well, I'd best be off. Good-bye everyone," Grandma said apperating away.

"Dad, can we go see Grandma now?" Alice asked. (A/N Frank died a couple years ago)

"Yeah."

"Loran, why don't you go with them," Luna suggested.

"Why should I?"

"Hugo and I will come, too. Come on," I said. Luna smiled at me and mouthed 'Thanks.'

"Why'd my mum want me to come?" Loran questioned.

"I dunno," I lied.

Around 7:30

Over an hour later and we still knew nothing, so we were sitting in the tea room talking quietly.

"Hey Lils, how come you haven't been hanging around with Ben recently?" James asked.

'Shoot,' I thought, 'I never told anyone, but Loran, Alice, and Amber…everything else seemed so much more important.' I saw Fred shoot James a 'shut up' look.

"Yeah why haven't you been?" Hugo asked. Fred rolled his eyes.

"Um...I broke up with him," I said.

"Why?"

"Um…" I muttered.

"You want me to tell them?" Alice whispered.

"Yeah, thanks."

"He cheated on her."

"Git," Albus muttered.

Around 8:00

"Okay, I finally got some information about Ginny," Dad announced. "She went into some sort of seizure. They are running tests to try and find out why. We should be able to see her tomorrow or Sunday. I'm going to take James, Albus, and Lily back to our house, anyone else is welcome."

"We'll be there, mate," Ron replied, he got here about fifteen minuets ago.

"Of course we will," Hermione agreed.

"Alright. Come on you three, we can use the fire place over here and just floo back," Dad said motioning for us to come and take some of the powder. "Oh, and Ron you guys are welcome to stay the weekend if you'd like."

Around 9:00

In addition to Hugo's family, Fred and Roxanne's family, Luna and Loran, and Teddy showed up.

"Guess what!" Teddy shouted, "Victore's pregnant!"

"Congratulations!"

"How far along is she?"

"Eleven weeks, her due date is May 17th. It's going to be twins!"

Somewhere around there I drifted off to sleep.

TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTL

I woke up some time around 10:30.

"Kids, can you go upstairs. You don't need to go to bed but, we'd like some time to talk," Hermione said.

"And don't even think about using extendable ears!" George said.

"What about Lily?" James asked.

"Yeah, James or I could carry her but we'd probably make to much noise…Mrs. Black," Fred rambled.

"She can stay here, let's let her sleep," Dad said. 'YESS!!'

"So, what's wrong with Gin?" Hermione asked once all the other kids were gone.

"They aren't sure, but they think it was a potion curse," Dad replied.

"Really?" Teddy asked, "I thought those haven't been used for centuries."

"They haven't, that's our problem; no one knows who would know how to conjure one or counter curses or really anything about them," Dad replied, "The healers in St. Mungo's are trying to at least figure out what the effects will be."

"Are there any good historians that really know the era?" Hermione asked.

"There are probably a few; I've sent two of my newest Aurors out to look for them."

"Why Aurors?" Ron asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Luna asked. "No one wants the job, trainees can't go on missions by themselves and, well it's the Aurors case. Plus, it's probably good training for tracking down suspects without being in too much danger."

"Yeah, basically."

"Is it Death Eaters who attacked her?" Ron asked.

"Yeah, it would most likely be the ones who are our age or kids of the older Death Eaters."

"I thought all the Death Eaters disappeared after the final battle, when my parents…" Teddy said.

"Well that was the hope, but it was never likely, for example if they didn't fight and or didn't have the dark mark, either because of the time they joined or rank, well there wasn't any proof and we don't want to just chuck everyone into Azkaban. It also could be kids who had one parent that was a Death Eater and one who supported the Death Eaters but wasn't actually a Death Eater if the parent who didn't die or get sent to Azkaban could have taught their kid Death Eater ways. Also, a lot of the Death Eaters went into hiding after the final battle and we never caught all of them…"

"Any idea why they chose to attack Ginny?" Aphenia asked.

"Probably because of me and also because of her pro-muggle beliefs, they wouldn't want her to become minister," Dad replied.

"Poor Gin," George said.

"Is Hogwarts safe with Death Eaters out there?" Aphenia asked.

"Yeah, why don't you set up Aurors on guard there like there were in our sixth year?" Hermione asked.

"I'm trying to, but not many people seem to think it's a good idea, hopefully with the new news I can get more support in the idea so it will actually happen," Dad replied

"Oh, I hope so; it worries me having so many of our kids there and not much defense. Hermione, you're there, but there's nothing big," Aphenia rambled.

"No Dumbledore this time," George said solemnly.

"At least there aren't Death Eaters either," Ron stated.

"Yeah, but Gin told me a couple of weeks ago that occasionally she noticed the kids hands (A/N on a clock like the one the Weasley's had…have) went to 'mortal peril'" Dad said.

"Really?!?"

"Yeah, she also said that Lily's went there more often than the others."

"Oh my gosh, poor Lily, she's only fourteen," Aphenia gasped.

"Can we get off this subject, I don't really want to have to think about it right now," Ron said.

"Yeah."

"Speaking of Lily," Hermione began, "First lesson, she conjured a match out of thin air nonverbally!"

"Seriously?" Dad asked.

"Yep," Hermione replied.

"Hey Ron, when's your next Quidditch game?"

I decided that nothing else important was going to be said so I 'woke up.'

"What time is it?" I asked groggily.

"10:22, the rest of the kids are upstairs, you can go join them."

"Alright," I replied as I got up to leave. When I reached the fourth landing I heard noises from Albus' room so I knocked.

"Come in," James called.

"Hey," I said walking in. Everyone was in here talking.

"Did you here anything?" Fred asked.

"Of course she didn't she was asleep you idiot," James replied.

"Thanks for thinking so highly of me, I've been awake ever since you guys came up here."

"Then why'd you come up now?" Albus questioned.

"They switched topics."

"So, what do you have to tell us?"

"Well, they think mum was hit by a…potion curse?"

"A what?" Rose asked.

"Great, Lily and Rose don't know! We're doomed!" James said dramatically.

"Albus?"

"You know I never paid attention in History of Magic."

"I don't know what they are all they said was that they hadn't been used for centuries…"

"Well, I don't think they're covered in any OWL History of Magic classes…" Rose said.

"There was that like week or two that you missed History of Magic in your fifth year," Roxanne pointed out.

"Yeah…what were we covering…?"

"Medieval?" Albus guessed.

"Yeah, they sound like something that would used in Medieval Times," Rose agreed.

"I'll ask Sel for a book on Medieval Times on Monday or Tuesday," I told them.

"What else did they say?" Loran asked.

"Well, Dad's putting Aurors to look for historians that know whatever era potion curses are from," I began trying to remember the beginning of the conversation. "Oh, they believe that the people who attacked mum are either Death Eaters that are around our parents' age or kids of the older Death Eaters. Dad thinks they targeted mum because of him and so she can't become minister, you know because of her pro-muggle beliefs. Dad is trying to set up Aurors around Hogwarts. Also he said that sometimes while were at school mine, Albus', and James' hands on the clock went to mortal peril," I finished leaving out that my hand went there more than the others'.

"I hope they get Aurors they're soon…" Roxanne said.

"At least none of us are in the Triwizard Tournament," James pointed out.

"Who could their leader be?" Rose wondered.

"I bet it's a Malfoy," Fred spat.

"Or Lestrange," James added.

"Maybe both," Hugo agreed.

"I hate the lot of them, aren't Lucius and Rodolphus in Azkaban though," Roxanne asked.

"Right…"

"Maybe Draco?"

"I don't think so. Aren't Draco and Narcissa supposed to have turned to our side now?"

"Supposed to…"

"I believe it. Scorpius isn't too horrible," Rose said. "Maybe Nott, Theodore or whatever, he was a Death Eater right?"

"Yeah, or at least his dad was, and his daughter, Sophie, is in my year and she's qbsolutely horrible," Roxanne said.

"…His son, Alex, he's in his first year and he struts around the castle like he owns the place, he won't listen," Albus commented

"Well, whoever the dude is it's not like we're going to catch him anyway," James said.

"Shh, I hear someone," Fred whispered.

'Knock, knock'

"Come in," Albus called.

"Fred, Roxanne, we're leaving. Loran, I think your mum wants to leave too," George said.

"Alright, bye everyone," Fred replied.

"Night."

"Good bye, don't forget to check for Nargles before you go to bed."

"Bye, Loran," I laughed.

TTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTLPTTL

"Night Rose."

"G'night, no Nargles in your bed?" She replied.

"Nope, yours?"
