Harry Potter and The Archivist [HP X TMA Fic]

Chapter 3

............

The woman's nails clacking against her keyboard was the only sound in the waiting room, her brows drawn together and her dark blue eyes hard as she focused on her typing, the ginger haired woman looks at Jon and Tim before her eyes settle on Harry.

"Are you the one that needs to talk to the police, young man?" She asked in a gentle voice.

Harry's nods, staying quiet, his shoulders drawn up almost to his ears.

She nods and types something on the computer, "Can you tell me your name?" The woman asked.

"H-Harry Potter." Harry stuttered out, his grip on Jon's hand tightening so much Jon was afraid the boy might pop one of his fingers out of the socket.

The woman nods again, "Harry Potter," she sounds out as she types in into the document, "When's your birthday?"

Harry looks at the woman and looks at Jon, his eyes full of confusion before he looks back at the woman.

"I dont know." Harry mutters, his small voice full of shame, like it was his fault that he didn't know his own birthday.

The woman's typing pauses for a second before continuing, she turns her gaze to Jon, "Do you know his birthday?" she asked.

Jon nods, "Yes, it's the thirty-first of July." Jon says, and looks down at Harry, the small boy looking up at him with shock written on his face.

The woman types Harry's birthday into the computer, "Why do you suspect child abuse?" She asked

"Because my aunt who was raising him called me to take him in before seven thirty or else she'd leave him at the firehouse." Jon explained.

The ginger woman's blue eyes widened a bit before nodding and continuing to type, "So you are related to Mr.Potter?" The woman asked.

"Yes, he's my cousin."

The woman nods again and doesn't ask anymore questions, his typing fast. She hits send on the document and picks up the phone that's on the desk, she pushes a button and waits as it rings.

"Officer Scott, I have three people here who are wanting to file a case and I need three officers to take their statements." The woman said, her voice still light.

She hums a bit in agreement at whatever Officer Scott was saying.

"It's a child abuse case." She said.

A few more minutes of silence before she nods.

"Exactly, thank you Officer Scott." She says and hangs up the phone before turning her gaze on the trio in front of her.

"Officer Scott will be out in a moment to take you three to the back where three other Officers will separate you and take your statements." The woman says.

Harry starts hugging Jon's leg with his empty hand, he buries his face into Jon's slacks and shakes his head.

"I don't want you to leave." Harry whimpers, hears now soaking through the fabric of Jon's slacks.

Jon kneels down and moves Harry around so he can hug the boy properly.

"I'm not leaving you," Jon said, his arms tightening around the boy, "I'll just be in another room talking to another cop while you talk with one."

Harry just shakes his head that's now buried in Jon's shoulder.

Tim puts a comforting hand on Harry's head and runs his fingers through the messy curls.
