Minerva smiled and raised her wand. "Another surprise for you, Harry."
Harry looked at her, and she cast a revealing charm.
The stern deputy disappeared and a woman of Greek origin appeared.
She grinned at her nephew, "I am Persephone, ex-wife of Hades and sister of Malificent."
Harry and Mal gasped. "You're our aunt?"
She nodded and had two arms full of children.
Harry looked at her, "So this is why you are so protective of me."
She nodded, "I believe the headmaster has been casting memory charms on me for years and until
you entered Hogwarts, I didn't know anything. Once you arrived, they all broke but I had to keep
the appearance of them still working until now."
Harry understood and smiled at her.
Mal grinned and then looked at her, "So why the divorce, Aunt Persephone."
"Your mother bragging about stealing my husband and he asked for it."
Mal muttered, "sounds like them."
Minerva nodded, "as for how I came here, I was trying to distance myself from what could have
been a lot of negativity for not fighting for the marriage. It was loveless anyway."
Mal looked at her, "sounds about right to me. I don't think dad has one loving bone in his body."
Ben grinned at her, "he did help with Audrey, love."
"I believe that was more to feel his power than any kind of compassion for her. He has always been
obsessed with his power."
To this Minerva nodded, "Even when I was married to him, all I heard was his power this and
that."
Harry looked at them, "I have to meet him. He sounds like the idiot I vanquished last year."
Minerva grinned, "Twin brother, it sounded like."
The two of them laughed. Mal cringed.
