The Life of Amelia Potter (WTM)

(Kings Cross)

"Now remember, I will be at the head table when you arrive in the great hall for sorting. Please...stay with draco at all times."

"Won't be with him for long. She is gonna be sorted into Gryffindor Snivellus!" Sirius stated proudly.

"Yeah, my daughter will follow in our footsteps and be the next Golden Princess!"

"I will. Papa...would you be disappointed if I got into Gryffindor?"

"Of course not. That is where your mother and....father were. I will love you no matter what house you are sorted into."

Mia smiled and hugged him tightly. "I love you."

Severus tightened the hug. "And I love you. Now, I must be heading to Hogwarts. I will see you in a couple of hours."

(Headmasters office)

Dumbledore was pacing back and forth when Severus walked in.

"Headmaster, you seem irritated."

"Ah, Severus. Come in. We have a problem. I sent Hagrid to the Dursley's to retrieve Amelia, and she wasn't there. She apparently has never lived with them! Where could she have gone."

Severus knew it was time to tell him and was more grateful when McGonagall walked into the room.

"Albus! What is this I'm hearing of the muggles not having Amelia? I told you they were awful." Minerva was scolding him.

"I guess it is time to...come clean. I have been raising Ameila for 11 years. She has been residing with me." Severus said with no emotion. He knew he needed to keep his act up around Dumbledore.

Both he and Minerva looked at him, shocked. "You? You have had Amelia? Severus, I must say I am shocked but not angry. I'm sure she was treated better than if she was left with the muggles." McGonagall said.

Dumbledore had looked at him with distane, "How is it you had the child Serverus. She needed to be with her blood relatives for safety reasons! Her aunts blood is the only thing that hides her! You were irresponsible!"

The great looked baffled. Dumbledore yelled at someone who made a child's life better. He was making no sense at all.

"She still had Petunia's blood. I was just smart about it and took a vile of her blood, and made it into a stone that I placed on a bracelet. She didn't need to live there. Lily's only request was if anything happened to her , Amelia was NOT to go there. She signed a contract and put it in her Gringotts vault. You were breaking the law. So don't think you can talk down to me, old man."

Dumbledore had a vein popping out of his forehead. "Well, your little family ends now, Severus. She is to go with the Weasley's during summer and holidays."

"Anyone else seeing a asshole dictator?" Mia asked around the room.

"Albus, that is quite enough. The girl shall remain with Severus. You know that he is also one of her godfathers." Minerva said.

"Where the hell are we?! I'm sure Sirius, Peter, and myself are godfathers, too!" Remus asked.

Dumbledore couldn't even respond. He threw a tantrum and stopped out of his own office.

Severus was about to leave when he remembered Niamh Fitzgerald.

"Pardon me, Headmasters. I am looking for a Niamh Fitzgerald."

A woman with red hair and a Scottish accent spoke. "That would be I. What do you need from me, Professor?"

"I am looking into the disappearance of 3 people. One being a Penelope Gaunt née Lancaster."

Her eyes widened. "Might I ask why are you looking for them?"

He sighed at the fact that he didn't want to retell such a long story in front of so many. "I could perhaps tell you fully later, but let's just say I am helping their son."

"Aseop?! You found him?" She smiled.

"I did. Do you have another portrait where we may speak privately?"

She nodded, "I do. But it is tricky. Let me consult with some people, and I will be in touch."
