HP: In The Magical World As a An Extra [ Chapter 116 ]

Seeing the look in Magnus' eye Andromeda gave a small smirk thinking that he was in awe of her patronus.

"I'll teach you that spell over the summer of you want, I learned it towards the end of the last war." She told him as she put her wand away and came around her desk heading towards the door.

“Right now we have pressing matters to attend to."

Coming out of his thoughts Magnus heard her and nodded quickly following his Aunt out of the room and towards the first year Gryffindor dorms.

As they neared the portrait of the fat lady they saw Professor McGonagall standing outside of it with a hard look on her face, her wand already drawn and at the ready. 

Clearly, she had received Andromeda's message and had not been impressed.

"What is this about a threat to my students?" McGonagall asked, her tone sharp as her Scottish accent made an appearance, showing her emotions.

When Andromeda's patronus messengers had arrived she had been in her office at the time marking assignments.

And seeing a messenger patronus suddenly appear before her had startled her and brought back memories from the last war when such means of communication had been used within the order of the Phoenix. 

Such messages had often not bore good news and seeing one again after so many years had left her rather shaken though she would not dare to show it.

"Professor, the threat may not be imminent but the danger it possess is very high, please open the common room we need to go inside." Andromeda stated as they reached her, her tone serious as she drew her wand as well.

McGonagall nodded hearing her tone, her gaze flickered for Magnus for a moment but said nothing about him before she turned to the portrait and spoke, "Caput Draconis!"

The fat lady gave a bow and the portrait swung open as the three of them quickly entered their presence quickly catching the attention of the Gryffindors who were inside.

"Where is Ronald Weasley?" Andromeda spoke up seeing they already had everyone's attention.

Percy who was there doing his duties as a prefect blinked when he heard them ask for his youngest brother and stood up from his chair, "what is this about?" He asked his instincts telling him that his little brother was in trouble.

"Answer the question Percy," McGonagall spoke time him, she was not yet sure what the youngest Weasley had to do with the threat but she knew Andromeda wouldn't have asked for him if there wasn't a connection.

Percy frowned but nodded to his head of house, "he's upstairs in the dorms last I checked, what is all this about?" He asked still concerned for his younger brother.

"Go and get him please, and anyone else in the room, bring them all down here." Andromeda told him.

"And if Ronald has a cage for Scabbers tell him to put the rat in it and bring it down as well." Magnus spoke up his tone hard.

Percy looked confused at both of their requests but a nod from McGonagall had him going up to the dorms to see to their requests after a few seconds of hesitation.

Once he was up the stairs McGonagall turned to both Andromeda and Magnus, "will one of you kindly tell me what this is about, and why did mister Black ask for mister Weasley to bring down his pet in its cage."

"We don't want to take any chances." Magnus stated as he kept his eyes on the stairs waiting anxiously.

McGonagall didn't look happy at his lack of explanation and was about to say so when Andromeda cut her off, "you will see shortly Minerva, please just humor us, I promise this will all make sense shortly."

McGonagall frowned but nodded, had it been any other former Slytherin student that she had taught she may have not.

But Andromeda has shown her true colours back during the last war, she may have been a Slytherin but there was no doubt in her mind that Andromeda would have made a fine Gryffindor with the bravery she had displayed during the war. 

Though she hadn't signed up with the order she had more than once fought off death eaters when they attacked while others merely fled. 

She was a strong witch and a good parent, both of which counted for something in McGonagall's eyes.

It was the next few minutes that Percy came back down, followed by Shamus Finnigan, Harry, Neville and finally Ron came last taking up the rear holding a small cage in his arms with Scabbers inside.

The second Magnus saw the rat his eyes turned red and he flicked his wrist launching his wand into his hand from his wrist holster as he quickly took aim and shouted, "stupefy!" And launched an overpowered stunner towards the rat.

The force of the overpowered stunner went through the cage and hit the rat knocking it out immediately, while the force of the spell continued and knocked Ron off his feet and onto his backside.

Almost immediately after that all eyes turned to him in shock of what he had done, Andromeda was the only one who didn't turn to him.

"Mister Black, what is the meaning of this." Professor McGonagall demanded completely incensed seeing him attack another student unprovoked even if it was just a stunning spell.

"As I said before Professor, I'm not taking any chances" Magnus replied as he stepped towards Ron, who was groaning in pain and dazed from the impact, his wand still at the ready as he plucked the cage from Ron's arms and turned to Andromeda, "Andy?"

Andromeda nodded and aimed her wand at the cage and the rat inside before she spoke, "Revelare Animagus"

The spell shot from her wand and into the cage where Scabbers began to glow a bright blue, indicating that he was indeed as they had suspected.
