Daughter of Black
Chapter 3
The Matron did all sorts of diagnostic spells on Lizzy. She fealt like she had been sitting there for hours when the results were displayed on a long parchment roll. The Matrons eyes widened, and she pulled Sirius too the side. "Her injuries are very extensive. But what stands out the most is that she has been raped multiple times in her short life. The most recent of which happened last night." She said, quietly, so as not to disturb the kids. Sirius turned a light shade of olive green, and looked like he wanted to vomit. "This is very concerning indeed. We will need to have them arrested immediately. But first we need assess Harry's injuries." Said Dumbledore. The woman nodded, and continued to do diagnostic spells on Harry as well. The results were still severe, but without the sexual abuse.
Sirius now sported a lookalmost reminescent of his mother Walburga Black. "I'm going to kill them!" He growled through gritted teeth. "You will do no such thing. What we are going to do is inform the ministry of crimes against two wizarding children, and we have them put in Azkaban." Dumbledore said, his face lined with sadness and regret. Sirius agreed with the headmaster, knowing fully that the Dursley's deserved everything they were going to get.
After the children were all done, Sirius transfigured their hospital gowns into decent clothes, and they walked up to the headmasters office. When they reached the gargoyle, Elizabeth jumped in surprise when her dad said "Fizzing Whizby's", causing the object to jump aside, revealing a spiral staircase. They ascended the staircase, and entered the office.
Sirius couldn't help but smile at the awe and wonder on the childrens faces when they saw how cool Dumbledore's office was. They looked around excitedly, when Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix landed on Sirius' shoulder. "Hello old friend." he said to the 'Majestic' bird, who was lightly nipping at his hair. The bird let out a little coo at him in response. At that moment, Dumbledore walked in with Auror Mad Eye Moody. The men exchanged pleasantries, and got right to business.
"I have called you here to discuss the treatment of two wizarding children while they have been living with their muggle relatives." Said Dumbledore, solomly. The Headmaster went on to explain what they had discovered at the Dursley's house, and the results of the Diagnostic spells. "So you see sir, the Dursley's need to be punished to the full extent of wizarding laws." Dumbledore said, finally finishing his report to the aged Auror.
Moody had a look of horror on his face. "I will have Tonks meet us here, and we will all go arrest the Dursley's. As far as the children are concerned, i will also floo Molly, and see if she can watch them for the night. Processing will take at least up until Tomorrow." He said. And with that, he went over to the fireplace. He first called Molly to ask about the children, to which she said of course. And then he called Tonks to have her meet them there.
Nymphodora Tonks was just finishing some boring paperwork when the floo roared to life with Moody's face nestled in the middle of the coals. "I need you in Headmaster Dumbledore's office pronto." He said, leaving no room for arguement. And with that, he was gone. Tonks sighed, her hair turning a light shade of orange with red streaks to reflect her annoyance. She grabbed a handfull of floo powder, and yelled out Dumbledore's Office.
Minutes later, she arrived in the Headmasters office, covered in soot from head to toe. She used scorgify on herself, and she was oficially ready to speak with Moody. While they were talking, Sirius excused himself so that he could take the kids to the Burrow. This time they aparated from outside the school grounds.
Molly opened the door as soon as she heard the large crack outside. "Well don't just stand there, bring the little darlings in. I already have supper prepared." She said in an overly motherly tone. Sirius grinned when he saw his old friend Arthur sitting in the warm and inviting kitchen. "Please sit and have some supper." Molly said warmly. "Alas, I wish I could, but i have some urgent business to attend to regarding Harry's and Lizzy's treatment with Harry's relatives." Sirius told them graciously. Molly told him she understood, but he better come back the next night and have a 'Proper Meal'. Sirius accepted the invitation. Turning towards the kids, he told them to behave for Mrs. Weasley, and he would be back sometime tomorrow. The children promised to be good, and Sirius aparated away with a loud pop.
TBC My lovelies!
