Lost Memories: I'll Be Your Savior

Chapter 17: Three Broomsticks

I was sitting with Andrew in the teacher's lounge. I couldn't get enough of him calling me 'Mama'. It was just so adorable. Everyone was busy except me. I was reading a book when McGonagall walked in.

"Ah there you are Stacey," She said handing me my jacket along with Andrews.

"Um hello but where are we going?" I asked putting Andrew in his jacket.

McGonagall waved her wand again and Andrew's stroller appeared.

"We are going to Hogsmeade today," She replied still talking in riddles.

"Why?" I asked slowly as I put my jacket on and Andrew on his stroller.

"Hagrid, Cornelius, Rosmerta, you and I all have to discuss some matters regarding Sirius Black," She answered leading me outside.

I didn't answer. Rather I just followed her out and continued walking pushing the stroller in front of me. This was going to be something. We met Hagrid outside.

"Ello there Stacey," He said smiling. But there was something in his eyes that was bothering him.

"Hello Hagrid. Lovely day isn't it?" I asked.

We got into a carriage where we were greeted by Cornelius.

"Good afternoon Stacey,"

"Hi Cornelius. What is all this about?" I asked as Hagrid lifted Andrew's stroller in the carriage easily.

"We will discuss it when we get there," He replied.

There wasn't much talking on our way there. Occasionally one of them would look over their shoulders afraid. Not me. I wasn't afraid of Sirius because I knew this truth. Oh well, what could you do? We finally reached our destination and walked into to bar where we met up with Rosmerta. We all greeted each other and took our seats. Rosmerta smiled at me hesitantly and handed out our drinks,

"Raspberry Margarita? Is that for you Hagrid?" Rosmerta asked.

"Er, no it ain't," Hagrid replied.

All eyes were on me. I blushed slightly.

"Yeah that's mine. I reckon this was going to be one hell of a conversation so I needed something," I told them taking my drink.

McGonagall shook her head laughing slightly while Cornelius gave me approving smile. Rosmerta joined our table and asked what we were all doing here.

"I reckon you heard the rumours," McGonagall said raising her eyebrows at Hagrid.

"Yes, well I heard them. Do you think Black is still here?" Rosmerta asked worried.

Suddenly my drink became very interesting to me. I stared down at it blocking them out. My drink was a pretty colour. I didn't want to hear this.

"Stacey would you like to join the conversation?" Rosmerta asked sharply.

I looked up at her mad but before I could speak Cornelius spoke,

"Now Rosmerta don't be rude to her. It is a difficult subject for her,"

"Thank you," I said smiling at Cornelius.

"Well it isn't surprising Dumbledore doesn't let the dementors back!" McGonagall exclaimed.

"And he certainly won't. Not after what happened with Harry!" I added.

"Well I am sorry about that Stacey but they are here to protect the students. I mean Black is a terrible criminal." Cornelius said.

"But I can hardly believe Sirius turned bad! He was such a sweet boy. I remember him coming in here. With you ..." Rosmerta said looking at me.

"Obviously," I said coldly. I wasn't too happy with her being here.
