| Myrtle Potter Chapter Twelve - Yes Minister Cont. |
| Hermione returned to find Sirius and Lupin in the living room with Oliver. They pointed upstairs and she proceeded to find Harry. Checking in on Remus, she found him asleep in his cot. She bent in and kissed his cheek before closing the door gently. Elli�s room was next and Hermione looked in gingerly and saw her middle child asleep restlessly. She sighed as she closed the door and wondered what could have happened to make her daughter turn out the way she did. In Myrtle�s room, she found Harry, sitting on the side of the bed, talking to Myrtle. To the back of her mind she pushed her conversation with Dumbledore. Harry could not know. �Mum!� Myrtle cried. �How�s Sirius?� �I haven�t heard anything, I�ve been at the Ministry. They think I�m hysterical.� Harry and Myrtle both hid their grins. �That new Minister is really weird Harry. There�s something up with her. Though Percy seems slightly besotted.� All three began to laugh heavily. �Myrtle, tomorrow morning Professor Black and yourself will return to Hogwarts.� He touched Myrtle�s arm and she winced, her birthmark still burning from the night before. �But now, we have to go visit your brother.� With that, he put his arm around Hermione and the two walked out of the room to see about the son that had just entered this world but had already been through so much. |
