A/N- biggest thank you to PhenioxGypsy who helped me write this chapter!
"Who's Malfoy?" Ariana asked, her forehead creasing.
"We go to school with him and suffice to say we are not on good terms." Hermione supplied.
"Phht. 'Good terms'-he's a bloody tosser he is," Ron burst out angrily.
"Ronald!" Hermione snapped scoldingly, her eyebrows raised, jerking her head towards Ariana.
"Right, getting back on topic…", Harry said knowing that they were going to start fighting again if he didn't step in. "Malfoy said something about Dumbledore, and you thought he was referring to you, Ariana Dumbledore."
Suddenly Hermione's brow furrowed slightly like she was trying to remember something, and she pursed her lips together. "Wait I know that name, it was in the restricted section under wizarding families; the Headmaster he had a sister named…Ariana, but she went missing over a hundred years ago!"
"You're not her, though. You're way to young," Harry declared reasonably nodding his head and looking at the rest of them for agreement.
"Maybe," Hermione and Ron chorused together not really believing it.
"Definitely, "Harry nodded.
A few feet outside Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour a witch stopped dead in her tracks. Then she rushed towards the table where the three teenager were sitting as if she couldn't get there fast enough.
"Oh. My. God" Minerva breathed, her mouth suddenly going dry.
"Professor what are you doing here?" Hermione asked curiously.
Not noticing her, Minerva looked Ariana straight on and asked in a pained voice full of doubt, "Amelia is that you?"
"How do you know Amelia?" Ariana exclaimed, her face radiating surprise as she leaned forward with interest. "I'm Ariana, by the way."
"Oh. My. God." Minerva repeated closing her eyes and biting her lip, "Ok, Ari you need to come to me and I'll take you to your brother, alright?" Minerva said, her Scottish brogue getting more pronounced with each word.
"Aspettare, confermi che-wait, who are you?" Ariana asked getting a little scared now.
Hearing this Minerva recalled Albus' stories about his sister and how she was taught Italian at a young age, so she knelt down in front of the seated Ariana taking the small cold hands in her own larger owns and assured, "Sto per proteggere voi, si prega di venire con me (Translation: I'm going to protect you, please come with me).
Ariana cautiously nodded her head, her curls swinging back and forth, then added, "Vi porterà a me a mio padre? (Translation: Will you take me to my father?)"
Minerva hesitated feeling rather bad about the girl's situation, "Si ha realmente bisogno di vedere il tuo fratello, ti porto da lui, Vieni con me (Translation: you really need to see your brother, I'll take you to him, please come with me.)
"Si" Arianna said without further dispute taking Minerva's now outstretched hand.
Turning to three of her more famous lions Minerva added, "Thank you for keeping her out of harms way until I came." And with that Minerva turned on her heel apparating with Ariana to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
