The Life of Amelia Potter (WTM)

33

Severus was running a medical diagnostic on Penelope while Aseop talked to his father and godfather for the first time.

"Do either of you remember what happened that night? Did Dumbledore attack?" Aseop asked.

"I remember us in the drawing room. You were on the floor with your familiar, and your mother, Sebastian, and I were talking. We sensed someone else was in the room with us, Sebastian and I were about to confront the intruder, but we were knocked out."

Aseop was surprised. "I had a familiar? At such a young age? What happened to them then?"

Sebastian patted his back. "A familiar never dies without its master. We will find her."

"Her?"

Ominis nodded. "Yes, a snake named Nagini. You had found her in the gardens and brought her in. Almost gave your mother a heart attack when she saw you holding it. She probably would have taken it from you if you and I weren't Parselmouths and could confirm she was safe."

His eyes teared up. "Nagini? She never left me. She followed me to the orphanage. She was my only companion. We have seemed to have lost each other for now, but we will find each other again."

Ominis was quiet. "Excuse me? What....orphanage?" He asked darkly.

"Wools Orphanage. That where I grew up, under the name Tom Riddle Jr."

"That bastard sent you back to the place where you were rescued from?! You were to go with the Abraxas or Poppy if anything were to happen to us or Sebastian. We made an extensive list for a reason!" He paced back and forth.

Sebastian muttered out, "Probably still better off in an orphanage than to be with Garreth Weasley."

"You still have a grudge against him? Why can't you get over it?" Ominis asked.

"His shitty concoctions trapped me in a floo flame for 3 days!" Sebastian defended his cause.

"You willfully drank it, idiot!"

Severus came back out from the separate room. "It seems that she was given a stronger dose of the potion. I will need to prepare a different antidote. It will take a day to brew."

"We need our wands. I don't know what he would have done with them." Sebastian said.

Aseop poked his head into the vivarium. "Mia, could you come out here?"

She skipped out while holding a baby Kneazle. "Sup?"

"Put the Kneazle back."

She shook her head. "Hell no. I'm it's Mama now. I don't think the mom Kneazle wants it."

Severus pinched the bridge of his nose. "Fine, you can keep the cat."

She bounced for joy, "Thank you, Papa!"

"Mia, did you see any wands in Dumbledore's office?" Aseop asked.

She looked at all of them. They had pleading eyes. "Yes. Why?"

"They must be my parents and uncle Sebastian wand. Do we have enough time to get them back before Dumbledore gets back, though?"

Mia pulled out the 3 wands. "No need. I've had them since Dumbledick tried to re-sort me. He had them on display like a hunters kill. They were in a rack on the wall."

Sebastian took the wands. "These are definitely ours. Here, Ominis."

Over the years, Ominis had upgraded his wand to allow him to see a couple of feet in front of him while holding it. "You do look quite different, son. How did you change so much?"

"There is a lot that has happened." He explained his horrid past and about the compulsions he was placed under by Dumbledore. "So when I went to have a cleaning done at Gringotts, I was able to visit her vault. She had made a spiritual guard who was a copy of herself. She gave me the ring and blessed it to change my appearance to look more like you, so Dumbledore wouldn't recognize me."

Ominis and Sebastian were red in the face. "I'm gonna Avada Kedavra his ass." Sebastian said. "That's only if you get to him before me! He dares to harm my family, my son?! I have always been against the Dark Arts, but this time....I will make an exception."

"Oh yeah, Aseop, your father and I would argue about how I should "use" them, and then your mother uses it, and it's fine! I call double standards!" Sebastian joked.

Aseop was shocked. "She used unforgivables?"

Ominis sighed. "She used the killing curse on big ass spiders who tried to eat her, not people. Does anyone here really have a problem with her killing deadly, man eating spiders?"
