"German ministry of magic." Theseus remarked "I take it we're here for a reason."

"Yes and if we don't hurry up we'll be late." newt agreed.

"I wont apologize." Amelia grumbled when she got back home. "I love Grindelwald."

Amelia didn't like all the posters with her uncle Grindelwald's face plastered on them saying he was enemy number one what a hoax he was the best it's everyone else that was idiots.

"I didnt think you would." Albus assured her.

"Why did you make me come back? You are too busy anyways you didnt even notice I bet." Amelia huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Go to your room, you are grounded Amelia." Albus remarked.

"I hate you!" Amelia shouted as she marched upstairs.

"Amelia!" Albus called after her.

"HATE! YOU!" Amelia slammed her door shut. ALbus shoulders slummed, he could only hope that Newt was doing better with the minister.

"Do what is right not what is easy he said it was important that I reach you tonight that you hear the words tonight." Newt remarked. The minister took a step forward.

"Why leave Hogwarts when the world is burning around them?" The minister questioned before walking away.

"I talk it he's not going to do what is right." Theseus pondered.

Amelia was messing with a crystal ball since she was grounded and couldnt leave her room. She stared into the purple orb, she had gotten quite good at it she liked seeing into the future she got that from Grindelwald he liked knowing what was to come. Knowing he was going to win she liked that about him. He wanted to win he wanted to see all the possible outcome so he could change them ahead of time. She loved him dearly. Her father on the other hand, less so.

"Come on down for supper." ALbus remarked knocking on her door and she shoved her crystal ball away.

"Oh is my imprisonment done?" Amelia sassed.

"No." Albus sassed right back and she pouted back at him. "But you need to eat, I could bring you bowl but thought you might want to get out of your prison cell."

"So you admit it is a prison being here with you!" Amelia agreed.

"Come on Amelia." Albus begged reaching out for her.

"Pass the salt." Amelia remarked. "You never salt it enough." Her father and uncle were talking Amelia was trying to tune them out when Aberforth slapped a hand on the table and her eyes darted to him.

"Albus we grew up in the same house what you saw I saw everything." Aberforth cut Albus off.

Amelia picked at her stew it was the one thing she remembered about her grandmother. Amelia had never met her and yet whenever she ate the stew it was like she remembered the woman that her father loved so much. Then there was a knock at the door pulling them all out of their tense state.

"Read the sign stupid sod!" Aberforth shouted as the door banged on. "Bugger off!" Aberforth shouted again but Albus got up.

"It's minerva." Albus remarked and AMelia peered back at the door.

"Sorry for calling you a stupid sod." Aberforth offered giving her a half smile.

"No he's not." Amelia corrected and Aberforth pinched her hip, she laughed out. Albus stared back at them. He wondered how their relationship would have been if Aberforth took the title of father for their youngest sibling and Albus got to be the uncle. Would he be the fun uncle? Would Amelia love him more if he wasnt the enforcer of rules? Albus didnt know and couldnt change the past. He was Amelia's father and he hoped once all this business with Grindelwald was over that Amelia could start a new with him.

"Where are you going?" Amelia asked as Albus put on his coat.

"I have some thing to do sweetie you stay with your uncle alright? Would be good for him..." Albus requested. Amelia stared back at Albus confused, he was always leaving recently. It was like he only care about her when he was yelling at her claiming he cared. "Amelia?" Albus whispered.

"I could take her." Minerva offered "she could come... to Hogwarts with me. I'll keep her safe." Amelia didn't really like either options but she's supposed going to Hogwarts would be better. More fun, she could hang out with the Slytherins. THat was always fun.

Albus smiled back at Amelia kneeling before her and hugged her she awkwardly patted his back. He pulled back staring back there before pressing kissed her forehead.

"I love you very much you know." Albus remarked still holding onto her.

"And I... Like you. Some of the time." she offered awkwardly, she was still mad at him for stealing her away from Grindelwalds. Albus chuckled hugging her again.

"Either way know that whatever happens I do love you." Albus repeated.

"What's gonna happen?" Amelia countered.

"That's the scariest part I don't know," he admitted. Amelia nodded once before hugging him for real and he relaxed into her touch. She pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Thank you Amelia."

"Do you need help?" Amelia offered. "I'm great back up."
