Chapter One: Malfoy's, Tonk's, and Lupin's

DAILY PROPHET

Malfoy's Face Wizgamont's Decision

Golden Trio Appear at Trial

As we all very well know, The Chosen One, Harry Potter defeated one of the darkest wizards to have ever lived, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named just a few months ago. The Wizarding and Muggle communities are starting to rebuild the world we once knew now that the threat of You-Know-Who and his Death Eaters no longer hang over us. Speaking of Death Eaters the Malfoy family Lucius, Narcissi, and Draco all had trials yesterday evening and to the surprise of the Wizgamont and the three Malfoy's, Potter and his friends who complete the Golden Trio, Miss. Hermione Granger and Mr. Ronald Weasley showed up to convince the committee to sentence a smaller sentence on all three. In particular Narcissi and Draco, claiming that Narcissi told the Dark Lord that Potter was dead in hope of Potter murdering the Lord at an unsuspected time. (This as a matter of fact is sort of what happened) In the case of Draco Malfoy the Golden Trio stated that he was forced to join by the Dark Lord and if he did not do so he and his entire family would be brutally slaughtered. The Trio's words were taken into great consideration and two hours later the Wizgamont came to a decision. Lucius Malfoy will spend one year in Azkaban Prison on charges of Death Eater activities, he will then spend another year on house arrest. Narcissi is sentenced to six months house arrest, unless she asks and is escorted by aurors to a destination of importance. Draco Malfoy was released of all charges and is attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to finish his seventh year along with our heroes, the Golden Trio, Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger.

"I told you they would mention us, were probably going to get hate mail now." Ron said threw a mouth full of food after reading the article over Hermione's shoulder.

It was the first day of school and most of the seventh years who should have finished school last year had returned so they could get proper education, not the dark arts the Carrow's and other Death Eaters had tried to teach them last year.

"Ron, would you please keep your mouth shut when you eat, and have you ever heard of taking bites? Not just shoving it all in at once." Hermione had the first few pages of the Daily Prophet while Harry, sitting opposite of her was reading the other few pages. He had been completely quiet the past few minutes and looking up from her part of the paper, Hermione noticed something was wrong. Harry's face was impassive and hard to read, that was never good.

"What's wrong Harry? What happened?" Hermione asked her best friend with concern.

Slowly without a work Harry handed Hermione the other side of the paper and started playing with his food.

Again Ron leaned over Hermione's shoulder and read the article along with her.

Andromeda Tonks, Sister of Narcissi Malfoy and mother of Nymphadora Lupin diagnosed with Magical Blood Disease

Andromeda (Black) Tonks, sister to Narcissi (Black) Malfoy and Bellatrix (Black) Lestrange (murdered same night as You-Know-Who by Molly Weasley) was diagnosed early this morning with a rare disease called Magical Blood Disease, a disease were the core of magical blood within the body over pumps to an extent that the heart can not handle. It is a rarity that effects only about one or two witch's or wizard's a year. Because of the rarity of this disease not much is know about what cause's this deadly phenomenon. Andromeda was born to the Black family but was blasted of the family tree because of her marriage to a muggle born, Ted Tonks. Andromeda and Ted's daughter, Nymphadora Tonks, is known by many for her allegiance to the organization the Order of the Phoenix. She was murdered four months ago at the Battle at Hogwarts by her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange. Her husband Remus Lupin was murdered the same night by Dolohov. The couple was very close to the Golden Trio and when there son, Teddy Remus Lupin was born, approximately six months ago they asked Harry Potter to be the child's god-father. Harry accepted. The death of the child's parents resulted in him going to be raised by his grandmother, Andromeda. Now that Andromeda has this disease there is the question of who will raise the child. Some believe the Andromeda's sister Narcissi will take custody, for the sisters have now reconnected but that is unlikely because of the suspicion around her husband and son. It will be up to Andromeda and Harry to decide the child's fate. Harry Potter is suspected to visit Andromeda tomorrow. Andromeda Tonks has approximately two or three days to live, Magical Blood Disease is deadly and there is absolutely no cure or treatment available.

Slowly Hermione laid the paper down on the table staring at the picture of the women and child she had come to love and adore over the past four months. Ron and Hermione simply sat there staring at Andromeda and Teddy not believing what they just read.

"Post is here" Harry's voice was dry and hollow. All three of them looked up looking for the tan owl that belonged to Andromeda. The owl swooped down to the three and delivered the letter to Harry. Once the letter was untied the owl started eating his eggs.

He read it once then read it aloud to Hermione and Ron.

Dear Harry,

As I'm sure you read in the paper today I've been diagnosed with Magical Blood Disease and there is no cure. Please don't worry about me, the doctors here at Saint Mungo's have giving me pain killers so there is no pain. I have two or three days to live and would like you, Ron, Hermione and the rest of the Weasley to come visit me tomorrow. I would like to say good-by and talk to you about my grandson's future. I don't want you to give up your education. I don't want that and you know full well that neither Remus nor Nymphadora would approve. I might have found a way around the problem of you going to school and the care of Teddy. I will also need you to bring along that bright young girl Luna Lovegood. I hope to see you, Luna, Hermione, and the Weasley's tomorrow at Noon. I'm blessed that you have all been in my life and care so much for my grandson. Love From,

Andromeda

"You may use the fire place in my office to visit Andromeda tomorrow and meet the rest of the Weasley's at Saint Mungo's." The three looked around at Professor McGonagall who had listened to Harry read the letter aloud "All three of you, including Miss. Ginny Weasley and Miss. Lovegood will have today and tomorrow off. I'm very sorry." McGonagall, like Hermione, looked close to tears.

"Thank you Professor" Harry nodded at her.

Professor McGonagall smiled kindly at the three then went to join the teachers table. A few seconds later Ginny and Luna arrived at the table, both with the Daily Prophet. Ginny took a seat next to Harry and Luna took the one on the other side of him and they both read the letter.

"Poor Teddy. He can't go to the Malfoy's, Lucius will be released in eight months and there are rumors that he might get out earlier than that on good behavior." Ginny said worriedly after reading the letter.

"We have today and tomorrow off so we can go visit her. I wonder what she has in mind for Teddy." Ron was looking sick and for once wasn't shoveling his mouth.

"I don't know, but I hope whatever it is, it works. I will not allow my god-son to grow up in the Malfoy Manor with Lucius Malfoy there. Narcissi and Draco may not be that bad but I still don't like it." Harry was tearing two papers out of his notebook as he spoke. He replied to Andromeda and told her that they would be there at noon tomorrow. On the other paper he wrote a few quick words to the Weasley's and attached Andromeda's letter on top of it. Giving both letters back to the now well fed owl with directions on who got what.

"I don't know either but I'll do anything to help." Hermione was still staring at the picture of the baby. She had become very attached to the child over the summer. He reminded her so much of his parents who she had loved very much.

"I'll do anything I can to, but I'm not sure what she would want with me." Luna mused smiling at the picture of the baby that she had babysat many times over summer break with Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny.

"You were really good with Teddy, and Teddy and Andromeda like you a lot. You're really good with children so she will probably want your input on what happens to him." Ginny told Luna.

"Oh yes, I like Teddy a lot to. He's so cute." Luna responded.

They spent the rest of the day talking about the baby, Andromeda, Remus and Nymphadora. They all missed Remus and Nymphadora very much but Harry and Hermione thought about them the most. It pained to them to think about them and even more to talk about it.

At the end of the day going over many ways to save Teddy from the Malfoy's they really couldn't find a reasonable way. It was September and in eight months, in May, Lucius would return to his home. At the same time so would Draco because that is when school ends.

"Even if Teddy goes to Malfoy Manor it will only be Narcissi, and Andromeda trusts her. It's mostly Lucius she's worried about, and she doesn't know Draco, but we would finish school before Lucius got out then we could take Teddy before he came home." Ginny told the little group as they made there way up to the common room for bed.

"I hope your right Ginny, but I can't help but feel like something is going to go wrong with that, and I don't think that's what Andromeda has in mind, I think she has something more…long term." Harry told her.

"Well we'll see tomorrow," Hermione said as they got to the common room.

"Good-Night" was whispered and Hermione and Ginny went to the girl's dormitory while Harry and Ron went to the boys. All wondering what would happen to the child they loved dearly, the child of the Remus and Nymphadora Lupin who gave there lives for there son and the rest of the world. Thinking that they all silently vowed that they would give anything to keep the child from harm. Tomorrow they would see just how much they would have to give up.
