    ... before he handed it to his guardian. Minerva read the note as well, before she folded it up and returned her gaze to her charge. "What happened, Harry." Harry gulped. "Dementors," he informed them. All three adults gasped. Harry grasped Ginny's hand in his, and elaborated. "There were two of them. I cast a Patronus to make them go away, and we came right back here." Minerva nodded, knowing from the letter he had received from the Improper Use of Magic office that she needed to hurry, before anyone else might get wind of what had happened. She immediately walked over to the Floo, tossing a pinch of Floo powder in and calling out, "Bones Estate." A few minutes passed before Minerva withdrew her head from the fireplace, followed quickly by Amelia stepping out. She read the letter that Minerva handed her, before sitting down and asking Harry to tell her what happened. Harry reported quickly and concisely. "We were on our way back to the Leaky Cauldron to use their Floo, when everything started to get cold, and the lights were going out. I recognized the feeling, and pulled out my wand.

All of the adults acknowledged their own fury at the mention of Harry's relatives, but kept their irritation in check. Now wasn't the time. Amelia tilted her head in consideration. "If I could just have your memories of both events, I will be able to prove that the first incident wasn't you, and that tonight you were acting in self defense." She conjured up a few glass vials. "There's no need to have a black mark on your record if you were innocent." Harry went first, followed by Ginny, and Amelia promised to get everything sorted out that night, before she gave Harry a hug. He returned the gesture, slightly confused, as the head of the DMLE stepped back. She smiled. "I'm proud of you, Harry.
