Chapter 22 - 21

Harry walked up to Shadow curious on what curse he used. Shadow taps his nose smiling mischief in his eyes. Harry will never admit it but Shadow lowkey scares him.

I was walking to the grate hall I have been on edge because of Draco.  That slimball really knows how to get on my ever loving last never. Godric only knows what I would do to him if not for our parents friendship.  "Does it hurt terribly, Draco?" The back water whore Crabgrass said."It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself lucky. Madam Pomfrey said another minute and I could've lost my arm. - I can't do homework for weeks." Draco said then noticed me. He looked away guilt filled his mind. I took my seat with the twins. "Listen to the idiot. - He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?" Ron said annoyed "At least Hagrid didn't get fired. I hear Draco's father's furious. We haven't heard the end of this." Harmonie said equality annoyed. "He's been sighted! " one of the students yelled rushing in with the Daily Profit. "Who?" Harry asked as all our interest peeked. "Sirius Black!" The students said "Dufftown? That's not far from here." Harmonie said "You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you? - With dementors at every entrance?" Ron said makinga good point. I know Uncle Sirius he is after something. "Dementors? He slipped past them once. Who's to say he won't do it again?" The student laughed. "That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands." Another one said grimly. I get up and head for the defense against the dark arts class room. "Uncle Mooney you here?" I asked on to have a puffball thrown at me. "During school ours that is Professor Lupin Iris." He said with a playful smirk before hugging me. "What brings you here dear?" He asked letting go. "I think Sirius is heading this way. Uncle Remus I don't believe Uncle Sirius killed Peter. I think Peter Pettigrew is still alive." I said he looked at me with a bit of disappointment. "Listen Iris you need to face facts Sirius Black is a killer. I know you love him he is your uncle but that doesn't change anything.  You should go I have class starting soon." He said dismissing me this man giving up on his friend. It made me angry but I couldn't do anything about it, at least not now. "Alright have a nice lesson Professor." I said waving my wond filling the room with Pygamy Puffs bouncing around. "Have a nice class professor." I called making my way to Magical Creatures class.

My father stopped me before handing me some parchment. "Read it when you are alone your uncle is causing in up roar in the Ministery." He said before Professor McGonagall stopped us "oh good Iris there you are. I have someone that would like to have a few words with you."  I looked at my father who nods. "I will speak with you more later then. It is our weekly scheduled dinner." He said hugging me. "See you later then daddy." I said following McGonagall who was excited. "Now Iris you need to understand that this meeting is by chance. You see this person's husband is here to see Dumbledore but she is here to see you." Who would be here to see me? I didn't do anything wrong well at least not yet.

Stepping into the McGonagall's study I froze even with the fire burning. Sitting on her desk facing the door was none other that Meadow Scamander or better known as Mama_Wolfblood. Her long waves of raven black hair held  neatly in a ponytail by a pearl hair tie. Her Emrald green eyes watching us carefully as if reading a book. When she stood she wad 5ft9. She looked no more 135 pounds and for a woman her age that was amazing. Her olive skin had a soft glow adding to her already natural beauty.  She smiled at us "Thank you Minerva this won't take to long." She spoke softly as Professor McGonagall left us. A tea set appeared on a side table. "Hello Iris I suppose you already know who I am, but for the sake of formalities. I am Meadow Andromeda Scamander it is a pleasure to meet you." She said holding out her hand. I took her hand  and shook it. This is really happening she is really her this is not a dream. "It's a pleasure to meet you to Mrs.Scamander." She laughed Before patting my hand. "Listen you can relax Iris no need to call me Mrs.Scamander just call me Meadow. Now its come to my attention you are quite the up start. Professor McGonagall thinks it would be a good idea for you after graduation to study under me. I however cannot approve of it and, if you are the kind of witch I think you are; You don't like things handed to you. Don't lose the spark you have because that spark will turn into a blazing fire. I promise you will do grate things just not under me." She smiled at me apologetically. It did disappoint me a little to not study under her. It would be an amazing opportunity but she is right about me wanting to earn that opportunity. "It's ok Meadow. I do have a question for you though." She looked at me puzzled. "Why did you marry Newt Scamander?" She chuckles. "I am asked this all the time and my answer will never change. He came into my life when I needed him most. He saved me from a cruel fate as I did him. We are together because love gave us both a second chance." She said before dismissing me saying she expects grate things from me.

When Iris left tears came to my eyes. "Oh Godric she looks like her mother." I said taking a sip of tea. "Thats not the only thing she has of Lily." I jump spilling hot tea ,I turn to see Dumbledore standing with an apologetic smile. "Oh for fucks sake can you stop doing that." I said setting the cup down. "I have given her the task. She doesn't like the idea of taking this person's life but for the bigger picture it must be done." He said making me gasp. "Dumbledore that will destroy her there has to be someone else." I now standing looking at the man I would follow without question. "Honey I thought the same thing but he is right. Sirius Black will only let his gaurd down around her. It's for the greater good she will get over it in time just not now." Newt said patting my hand. I sigh needing something stronger than tea. "I do not approve of this and I doubt Severus does.  He may hate Sirius but he would never allow his daughter to feel such pain." I said before leaving the room it was not right  the poor girl. May Godric be with her in the days to come.

Once I made it to Hagrid's class it was a oral explanation on how to approach a Hippogriff and what they like because of Draco. The little welp is lucky his father is friends with mine. While taking notes Fred passed me a note.

'Are you ok we saw you being dragged into Professor McGonagall's study'

I look back and see both of them watching me. I nod at them letting them know I'm ok and nothing is wrong. The class went by slow but next is free period before dinner. Professor Lupin wants me to help with his class.
