The Life of Amelia Potter (WTM)

35

(Room of requirements)

Aseop had the new potion yo wake his mother. "How long till it works?" He asked.

"It usually varies from person to person, but no longer than an hour will we know if it worked." Severus said.

He nodded and placed the vival to her lips. "Ok, mom, time to wake up."

Ominis and Sebastian had come into the room. They had finally changed and showered since waking up.

"Come on, love. You can do it. Just open your eyes." Ominis whispered.

20 minutes of silence had gone by when finally they heard a gasp. They turned to the bed to see Penelope sitting up, awake.

"Where... where am I?" Her eyes widened, and she sprung from bed and ran to the main room. "Aseop!?"

Ominis and Sebastian ran to her, trying to calm her down. "Our baby needs us, Ominis. We mist find him!" She was in tears.

"He is okay, love. We know where he is, but we need to discuss what has happened."

He told her how they had been asleep for 66 years, thanks to that arsehole Dumbledore. "66 years!? Then what of my baby? Who did he go to? Abe or Poppy?"

He shook his head. "Neither, love. Albus sent him back to the orphanage. Under his birth name Tom Riddle."

"He had no right! Not only did he take us from everyone, including our child, but he also refused him godparents?!" She paced back and forth. "I'm killing him. I don't need an unforgivable to do it either. I'll make it long and painful for what he has done."

"Penny, Aseop was also put under compulsions by Dumbledore. He is very much hated in our world for things he has done. We know it's not his fault, but he has to hide who he is now." Sebastian said.

"Whay do you mean hide?"

Aseop stepped forward. "It's nice to meet the real you, mom."

She looked at him shocked. "My baby? Is that you? You are so handsome, just like your father. The gaunts make some pretty handsome men, I must admit."

He chuckled. "Your vault self said that, too."

"You know of my vault? You found it? I must say I'm very impressed. However, I must say how sorry I am. I wasn't strong enough to be there for you."

He shook his head. "You have NOTHING to be sorry for. What happened, though? Do you remember?"

"Of course I do."

*flashback*

Sebastian, Ominis, Penelope, and Aseop were in the living room. Aseop was on the floor with Nagini.

"We leave for America tomorrow. We get far away from Albus until people really see what he is." Ominis said.

"Will that really solve our problem? He could just follow us, and what if people never see the truth?" She asked.

Sebastian began to yawn. "We can only....try." He slumped over.

She rushed over to him and shook him. "Sebastian?! Ominis, he isn't waking up!" She looked to him and saw he was passed out too. "Ominis?!"

Aseop began crying. "Mama!"

"It's ok, baby. It's ok."

Suddenly, the door was blasted off the hinges, and Dumbledore walks in. "You wouldn't be leaving now, would you, Mrs. Gaunt?"

"You bastard! What have you done?!" She pulls her wand to perform her ancient magic. However, Dumbledore pulled his as well and yelled. "Crucio!"

She fell to the ground, screaming. When he stopped, she looked to Aseop and Nigini. She had learned a phrase in Parselmouth just in case anything were to happen. "Ssssaaaa shhhaaa saaaa." (Hide and look out for Aseop).

Nagini slithered off and hid as Dumbledore came to tower over her. "You should have taken me up on my offer. Now your son will grow up alone. You have failed Penelope Lancaster." He shoved a potion down her throat and plugged her nose so she would drink it.

She looked over to Aseop and saw him crying. "Mommy loves you. Daddy and Uncle Sebastian love you, too. Be strong. Be brave. I hope we are together again, my baby." She then closed her eyes.

Flashback over

"He placed you under the Cruciatus Curse? Mom, I'm so sorry and you didn't fail us!" Aseop was angry at what he had heard.

Ominis was seeing red. "I say we return the favor. You know I am against the Dark Arts but I'm feeling like an exception can be made here."

The great hall was quite. They all looked amongst themselves. Dumbledore was truly the villian.

"Albus Dumbledore, you are under arrest for the kidnapping of the Gaunts and Sebastian Sallow as well as the use of an unforgivable." Moody read him his rights.

He began to thrash. "You can't do this to me! I'm the greatest wizard in the world! We would be in the dark ages if it weren't for

"Tell that to the wizengamot!"
