The Life of Amelia Potter (WTM)

31

Tom bolts up from the table and heads for the door. "Where are you going?!" Mia yells.

"My family is here! I'm going to find them!"

Mia pulls him from the door. "It won't do any good right this second. They are safe as long as Dumbledore is detained. You need to finish the memories."

She managed to sit him back down, and the memories started again.

"Mischief Managed!" Mia yelled with her wand pointed to the map.

Severus looked at the map. It was so busy with names that he was getting a headache looking at it all. "I swear if any old jokes come from your mouth, you will be grounded for a month. I can't find their names. Where did you see them?"

"They we in the area of Dumbledore's office. Look there." She said.

When he finally located what was the headmaster office, sure enough, the names Sebastian Sallow, Ominis Gaunt, and Penelope Gaunt were listed but not in motion.

"I don't understand. How are they there? No one has entered hogwarts since the start of school, so it's not like they came through the front door." Aseop said.

"No worries, we will just have to look around." Mia shrugged and put away the map.

Severus scoffed. "How do you expect to do that? Just ask if you can search his office?"

"Oh Papa, you offend me. He won't be there when we search." She smirked.

His eyebrow raised. "Oh really? And how will you manage that?"

She took out a nail file and started to file her nails. The guys were confused until Professor McGonagall entered the room. "Ahh Severus, I will need your help covering my chaperoning slot for hogsmeade. Professor Dumbledore received an urgent letter from the ministry and has just left."

"Oh course, Minerva." He said, and she left. Both men looked at Mia, who was still filing her nails with a soft smile. "Mia? How did you know he wasn't going to be here?"

"Dear Albus,
I have a proprioception for you that will be worth your wild as well as your vault. Please see me immediately about this enriching journey.

Signed: Cornelius Fudge (Minister of Magic), " She said, using a deep voice to mimic a man.

Aseop lifted her and spun around. "Way to go, little sis!"

"Yes, yes. My daughter is a diabolical genius who is starting to scare me. Let's get to the headmasters office before he returns."

"Now, where did fucking grampa stash them?" Mia asked while sucking on a lollipop.

"Mia! The language is getting out of hand!"

She shrugged. "You know that man makes my blood boil, more so now."

The 3 of them were looking around like muggles until Aseop finally came to it.

"What the hell are we doing?! Revelio!"

A blue glow of a door appeared from behind a bookcase. "Severus, there is a door behind the bookcase."

Severus moved the bookcase carefully, not to drop anything. "We don't want him to know we have been here."

Aseop nodded. "Good thinking." He opened the door to reveal a balcony outside with a staircase leading up to another level. "Let's go, Severus!" He went running with Severus and Mia behind him.

He giggled the doorknob, and it was locked. "Damnit! It's locked! Mom, Dad, Uncle Sebastian?! Can you hear me? Alohomora!" The door still was locked. "He has it under lock and key. Where could he have kept the key?!"

Mia pulled it out from her pocket. "What like this one?"

Severus was shocked but not surprised. "Where did you find that?"

"In his pocket. He was talking to Professor McGonagall, and I was close enough to him, and I picked pocketed him. I thought this would be for something good, and it looks like I was right."

Aseop gently took the key. "Let's see then. Please, Salazar, be the right one."

He turned the key and heard it unlock. "It worked." He whispered.
