Arriving at Slytherin Manor, Malachi was greeted by his father and an elf. "What happened? I thought you were visiting Nurmengard?" Tom looked to the unconscious witch in his sons arms.

Malachi carried Thalia past his father, heading for his room "Grindelwald did something to her. He got close to her without us realizing, he touched her head and she's been unconscious ever since." Entering his room, he laid Thalia on his bed.

Tom ran a scan and looked surprised, "She's sleeping. Nothing else shows up."

"He said he only did as she asked."

"What did she ask?"

Malachi froze and looked to his father, "She asked him what he knew of Dumbledore."

Both men turned, wands aimed, when the door opened. They lowered them when they noticed it was only Lucius.

Lucius looked to Malachi, "Did you really apparate her here? That distance could have splinched either one of you!" He had taken the portkey back when he realized what the younger man had done.

"I knew I wouldn't splinch either of us" Malachi glared back.

Tom brought up the elephant in the room, "Her brother and uncles need to be told."

Lucius sighed, "I suppose that will fall to me." He braced himself and headed out to inform her family of what happened.

Tom watched his son watch the unconscious witch. He smirked and turned to walk to the door, "I'll send an elf up to check on you." He only received a nod in return.

~~~~

Lucius braced for yelling as he entered the floo and came out in the Potters home. Tilly was the one to greet him.

"Lord Malfoy, what can Tilly be's doing for yous?"

"Could you please get Sirius for me?" He asked.

The little elf nodded and popped away. He straightened up when he heard the footsteps approaching.

Sirius looked confused at Lucius presence, "Where's Thalia?"

Lucius sighed, "There was an incident, she's fine but unconscious right now."

Unfortunately, the others had arrived and they were all hotheaded Gryffindor's, they exploded.

Harry seemed to collect himself first because he said, "Take me to my sister."

Lucius really didn't want to be here, "Thalia is at Slytherin Manor right now."

Sirius and Remus stiffened but Harry continued on, "Doesn't matter. I want to be taken to my sister."

"You do realize that Slytherin Manor is my Lord's home?" When Harry nodded, Lucius continued "Let me have him open the floo. You three must vow to not attack him."

Harry agreed and glared at Sirius and Remus until they agreed. "Will he vow the same?'

"I'm sure that won't be a problem." Lucius said and then turned back to the floo. "Give me five minutes and then come through." In the floo, he called out "Slytherin Manor" and was gone.

~~~~

Sirius, Remus and Harry stared at the man across from them. Harry was the most surprised, the last time he had seen Voldemort, he was on the back of Quirells head. This man looked like an older version of the diary.

"Thalia is still asleep. Malachi said she passed out after Grindelwald touched her forehead. He told them she would have her answers when she woke up." Tom explained to them.

Harry stepped forward, "Cann I see her?" Tom nodded and led them to Malachi's room. When they approached, he knocked. Hearing his son, he opened the door.

Harry rushed over to the bed and checked over his sister. Looking up to the person next to her, he was shocked by how much he looked like Voldemort.

Malachi knew who the boys was seeing, "Hello, I'm Malachi."

Harry shook himself, "Harry" he looked back to his sister.

"Thalia will be okay. Dad scanned her and nothing showed. We're just waiting for he to wake."

Harry wasn't sure what to think. This was Voldemorts son. He knew things weren't as they had thought but it was still eerie.

Sirius and Remus walked closer to Harry's side. They both looked down at Thalia, she did look like she was just sleeping.

Tom walked forward, "Maybe we can talk while we wait for Thalia to wake?" He knew they were uncomfortable, but they were on the same side.

~~~~

Thalia could tell the visions were coming to an end. She wasn't sure why Grindelwald showed her all of this but she knew it would help them take down Dumbledore. She could hear voices around her. Her brother seemed to be talking to, wait, was that Malachi? She felt her eyes start to open. The room quieted and she blinked against the light.

"Sis" Harry whispered, leaning over her.

Thalia gave him a small smile, "Hey little brother" Her eyes then met a relieved Malachi, "Hey" he grinned back at her.

Lucius stepped forward, "You alright? We didn't even realize how close he had gotten."

Thalia moved to sit up, Malachi helped her. "It's okay, I promise" She looked around at everyone in the room." I need a pensieve, it's too much to explain." Tom nodded and called an elf.

Remus walked up to the bed, "Hey cub, how about you not do something like that again. Okay?"

She laughed, "Sorry Rem. For an old guy he kind of got the jump on me but it will definitely help us."

Tom walked over with the pensieve, "Here you are dear."

"Thank you" She then put as many memories as she could in, "I'll warn you, some of this shit is crazy."

Everyone entered and watched every memory Grindelwald had of Albus Dumbledore.

~~~~

Tom couldn't believe it, this was everything they would need to destroy the old mans reputation.

"Will this get him out of Hogwarts?" Harry asked.

Thalia looked to Lucius who nodded, "It could. I know plenty of parents will want him removed when this is released to the press."

Tom added, "This stuff, with whatever Harry can tell us, he won't be able to hold the headmaster position."

"We need to get ahold of a reporter, one we can trust" Lucius told the group.

"I don't know of any," Thalia said, looking to the others, "Do any of you?"

"We could always use Rita Skeeter, she's a nosy woman but she would kill for a story like this" Malachi spoke up.

Thinking it over, they all agreed Rita Skeeter would be their best option. Lucius told them he would draw up a contract if someone could arrange a meeting. Having a plan started, they knew the fireworks were about to begin.

~~~~

Sirius, Remus and Harry had gone through the floo, Thalia was about to follow but she wanted a moment with Malachi. "Thank you for getting me back today."

Malachi stepped closer, "I could have killed him when he touched you and you collapsed."

"You were worried about me?"

"Of course I was" he leaned forward and kissed her. The room around them faded out, it was just the two of them.

Thalia really, really, liked how he kissed her. Unfortunately, they forgot they were alone and separated when a cough sounded. Malachi glared at his father. He would get him back for that.

"I should go before one of them come back for me" Giving Malachi a peck, she said "Goodbye" Looking to Tom, "Goodbye" and she went through the floo.

"You fancy her" Tom stated to his son. "You should think about courting her. She's powerful and smart, not to mention beautiful."

"I know." he sighed, "Right now, she's got a lot on her plate."

Tom shook his head, "Doesn't matter. You don't want someone else to snatch her out from under you."

He shot his father a look but knew what he was saying was true. Thalia was a catch and he didn't want anyone to take her from him Seeing his father's smile, he rolled his eyes and walked away.

~~~~

Pettigrew's trial date had been set. Madam Bones alerted them of it before the paper printed the story. Harry had received letters from both Ron and Hermione. They had both been out of the country and wanted to check on Harry when they seen the Prophet.

He had asked his sister if his friends could come visit. He really wanted them to meet her. When she agreed, he sent letters back to his friends.

Hermione's reply came first. She had been shocked by what had been going on and she really wanted to meet his sister. Harry knew Hermione knew things of his previous home life and she would want to make sure this home was a good one.

When Ron's reply came, he seemed unsure but agreed to come. He and the twins were the one's who broke him out last summer and Ron, like Hermione, was worried for him. He knew Ron would reserve judgement for when he arrived and met Thalia.

Remus had offered to pick up Hermione since he was more familiar with the muggle areas. Ron was coming by floo. So, Harry was patiently waiting for his best friends to arrive.

~~~~

Thalia watched her brother with a smile. She had been worried about his friends and hadn't wanted to judge them before meeting them. When the floo went off, she held back her laugh as her brother ran to greet his friend. At a much slower pace, she followed behind.

Harry greeted his friend, Ron was telling him all about Pettigrew. When he felt his sister enter, he smiled wide and introduced her. "Ron, I want you to meet my big sister, Thalia. She came for me and got my godfather out of Azkaban." Looking to his sister, "Thalia, this is one of my best friends, Ron Weasley."

"It's good to finally meet one of the people I've heard so many stories about." She greeted Ron.

Ron blushed, "It's nice to meet you too. I had no idea Harry had a sister, but I'm glad you came for him."

She smiled, "He had you and Miss Granger. Thank you for taking care of him until I got here." Thalia had to hold back her laugh when his blush went all the way to his ears.

Just then, Remus apparated in with Hermione. The witch rushed over to her friends, hugging them and checking them both over before she realized they weren't alone.

Harry smiled, "Hermione, meet my sister Thalia" she gave a shy wave to the older witch. "This is my other best friend, Hermione Granger."

"It's nice to meet you Hermione." Thalia greeted.

"I was so surprised but also happy to find out Harry had someone besides those horrid Dursleys" Hermione blurted.

"I would have gotten him a lot earlier had that old fool stayed out of it" Thalia replied, then realized these teens didn't need her getting mad. "Brother, how about you show your friends around while I get ready for Malachi and I's appointment."

Harry hugged her before taking his friends around. He knew she needed to calm down before meeting with the reporter.

~~~~

Thalia watched as her brother and his friend flew with Sirus while Remus and Hermione were watching, safely from the ground. This was how his life always should have been. Harry had been robbed, just as much as she had of time together. Stepping away from the window, she turned to see the tall wizard exit her office floo.

"I was surprised you wanted me here today" Malachi greeted her.

Thalia glared with no heat behind it, "We need to go over Rita's article. She will publish it tomorrow if we like it."

He nodded, "When will she be here?" he asked as he walked closer.

"Three, so five minutes." She replied quietly as he approached.

"Perfect" Thalia didn't have a chance to reply because his lips were on hers and his had was behind her neck, pulling her closer.

Thalia leaned into him. Some how her brain always went blank when their lips touched. She forget everything else and enjoyed the feeling. When Malachi pulled back, he grinned down at her.

"I could do that all day."

Thalia pulled back, "I wouldn't complain" she grinned at his expression then turned to face the floo just as Rita Skeeter came through.

"Lady Potter, Heir Slytherin. I really appreciate you meeting with me." Rita greeted.

"Miss Skeeter, please sit. Would you like some tea before we begin?" Thalia asked.

"Thank you" Rita took the cup offered by Tilly. Looking between the couple in front of her, she handed each a copy of the article. "I hope it's everything you were wanting."

They both read through the article. Thalia really like the way Rita wrote it. Looking up, she noticed Malachi's grin.

"I believe you have outdone yourself. I must say, you have a way about sensationalizing just enough to keep readers hooked and begging for more." Thalia grinned.

Malachi nodded, "This may just get the old bastard out of Hogwarts."

Rita smiled, she knew these two could either make or break her career. Luckily, they liked her writing. "So, I'll send it to print and it will be out tomorrow morning."

"Thank you Rita. I'll be taking my seats tomorrow, so you may want to be an observer" Thalia smiled. Standing, she walked Rita to the floo. When she returned, Malachi was waiting.

~~~~

"So, how did meeting the friends go?" He asked as she walked closer.

"They seem like good friends and seem to actually care about my brother." She sat next to him on the couch.

Malachi slipped his arm around her, "Do you think they'll believe him about Dumbledore?"

"No idea. I know the Weasley family follows him and he's a supposed 'champion' of muggleborns. I guess we'll find out when the story comes out."

Malachi knew this could be a dangerous topic but he needed to know. "Have you thought about marriage? Or at least courting?"

Honestly, she had never had the time to. Thinking about it now, she was curious as to why he asked. "My priority has always been to get my brother and take down those who kept us apart. Now that I have my brother and I'm working on the second part, I don't know. If I were to court or marry, it would have to be with someone with views like mine and could handle what I have planned." She turns to look up at his face, "Why do you ask?"

"You're an amazing witch. Beautiful and caring, powerful but you also have a huge heart. If you were willing to court or marry, I was wanting to be your first and only option." He smiled as a blush covered her cheeks.

"Really?" She asked quietly. If she would ever marry, he would be a perfect choice but they get along really well.

"Of course, Thalia. I would have to be crazy not to want to take you off the market before anyone else came around." He leaned in, catching her lips with his.

She couldn't believe this. Honestly, she had never even thought about having a relationship before meeting Malachi. She definitely needed to talk this over with her family.

Thalia must have summoned them by thought because Harry and his friends entered her office.

"Could you not maul my sister please" Harry covered his eyes, he did not need or want to see that.

Malachi laughed as Thalia huffed, "Have you ever heard of knocking?"

"Trust me, I will from now on" Harry made a gagging noise. "Tilly wanted me to tell you lunch was ready. Now I know why. Evil little elf." Harry muttered the last part.

"We'll meet you down there" Thalia waved her brother off. Looking to Malachi, "Will you stay for lunch?"

He grinned at her, "This should be fun."

~~~~

Fun was not how Thalia would describe lunch. Luckily, Sirius and Remus weren't interrogating Malachi. They seemed to realize they weren't going to get rid of the wizard any time soon.

Thalia watched her brother be free and laugh with his friends. She knew he had missed them. Hopefully they would still be there for him once the story was printed. Her magic must have been releasing with her angst because Malachi gripped her hand and squeezed. She smiled to him in thanks.

"Are you all going to Pettigrew's trial?" Ron asked. Hermione slapped his arm but Harry told her it was okay.

"We will be. He betrayed my parent's and was the reason Sirius was in Azkaban." Harry told his friend.

Ron nodded, "We have to be there. He's been charged for a whole list of things because of us being children" he shivered.

Hermione was as blunt as ever, "Lady Potter, could you introduce us to your friend?"

Thalia smiled at her, "Call me Thalia, please. And I thought my brother would have" She mock glared at Harry, "This is Heir Slytherin."

Grinning at the teens expressions, he said "Call me Malachi"
