"So, what caused you to run off into the forest, which is incredibly dangerous." She scolded but also with a hint of care.

"Draco was ignoring me all day, then he broke up with me. I went to see him but he was kissing someone else so I went to my uncle but I discovered he put Draco up to breaking up with me."

"Well, Severus must have thought it would be the best for you."

"It wasn't Professor, the last few days have been so stressful I don't know why Sev thought Draco breaking up with me would be for the best."

McGonagall sighed, she knew Ariana was right. What her fellow colleague was thinking was beyond her. How could she defend Severus if she herself was confused on why he did what he did.

"Miss Snape, maybe you should talk to them both."

"That is what got me in this mess in the first place, in what way can I talk to them?"

"Forgiveness may be the best and only option, not only is one hour family but another you see everyday. I know you are capable and strong enough to do it."

Meanwhile, Dumbledore could hear Minerva's conversation with Ariana and thought about how he could use it to his advantage. His previous plan of emotionally manipulating Ariana while she was sleeping failed. Yes she felt traumatised but it did not break her.

His health was deteriorating and knew he was dying. Dumbledore needed people to carry on with his worker and that someone would be the whole of the Order of the Phoenix, so he ordered an immediate meeting and apparated to the Weasleys home.

"Albus, what is so serious that we must meet at this hour?" Molly asked after she had just woken up minutes previously.

"I am afraid my plan using Miss Riddle against her father is failing."

"What have you done Albus?" Remus asked, concerned for the young girl after they bonded over their love for Sirius.

"While the welcome back feast was happening I had conjured a necromancer to break her using the possibility for her to meet her mother to take her away from the girl."

"Albus how could you do that, she is a child!" Remus shouted.

"And the daughter of Voldermort Remus!" Moody shouted back, seemingly fine with torturing her.

"Molly, surely you cannot agree with Albus' methods?"

"I have to agree with Remus, the poor girl has never met her mother and is probably desperate to." She sympathised with Ariana.

"Using the necromancer I had hoped for her to go against her father in a fit of rage. It was supposed to manipulate the past and show her father killing Sarah but the necromancer decided not to and tricked me."

"What did you think would happen?" Remus asked, becoming bitter towards the old man.

"She is a key element in hurting the dark Lord! Don't forget it was his followers that killed Sirius!" This was a sore subject for Remus and Albus knew this, hoping it would pull at his heart strings.
