Capítulo 121: A plan set in Motion! Part-1
{2nd Floor Corridor, Hogwarts}
{5th Oct 1991}
{3rd person POV}
"... It's okay." Rigel heard Amelia whisper as the two parties met. His eyes trailed along her figure as he got ready for this meeting. This important meeting must be carefully controlled if Rigel wants everything to go according to the plan.
'She's hot though, her figure as tantalizing as Narcissa's...' Rigel thought, but it was her dark red hair that Rigel identified as the main attraction. If he compared their figures, Narcissa had the edge anyway.
"Lady Bones, how may I address you today?" Rigel asked. First, he needed to deal with the pleasantries to make a favorable impression. But it seemed like Amelia had other plans.
"That depends on what capacity I am talking to you in. If it is an informant, then you should address me as Auror Bones." Her tone was level, and no emotion leaked through. Her eyes were already scanning Rigel's visage.
'She's strict, alright. Then again, I was expecting at least this much resistance,' Rigel thought. His eyes met Susan's, who was looking at him curiously. Unlike before, she did not seem nervous anymore.
"What if I'm just your niece's friend, a friend who needs some guidance and is not quite sure how the legal system in the wizarding world works? A friend who's afraid that if what he knows gets out, then some people with high authority would try to hide and suppress that information to save their hide..." Rigel laid out the bait. And he was pretty sure that he got to her as her eyes were fixed on him.
...
"...Susan's friends call me Aunty Amelia," Amelia conceded, attracting Susan's surprise look.
"Of course, thanks for meeting me, Auntie. Given that you called me to an abandoned classroom, I believe it is a secure place to talk?" Rigel asked.
"Follow me!" Amelia instructed. Getting her bearings once again, she walked over to the locked door and used her wand to tap at specific areas. Rigel noticed that this particular door was a little different, as a different set of runes was marked onto the doorframe, with some strokes and language that were entirely different from Hogwart's runes.
'Was this her hiding place when she was in Hogwarts?' Rigel could see that this was where she asked him to come, which made him hesitant to step foot in that room. Rigel was quite aware of the advantages that a home field, with wards and runes protection, gives during a negotiation.
"Nope," Rigel said, deliberately popping the 'P' to catch her attention. "I'm not setting foot in a room fortified by something other than Hogwarts wards."
Amelia turned around to look at Rigel. Seeing his firm denial, she thought about pushing through it for a moment but then decided on a different approach, "I'm not going to harm you, Mr. Black. You are Susan's friend, remember?"
Rigel looked at her amusedly before he shook his head and pointed at another abandoned classroom on the other end of the hallway. "We'll use that one," he said.
"Are you sure? I won't be able to guarantee that our conversation will be kept private otherwise?" Amelia insisted.
"It's alright. I am willing to take that chance," Rigel spoke as he walked over to the door and cast the unlocking charm. A soft click signified that the spell worked as the door opened. Rigel pushed the door open and stepped aside, "Ladies first!"
His charming smile was met with a snort as Amelia stepped into the room, wand at the ready. Rigel was about to close the door after entering when Susan stepped forward, her intentions clear.
Rigel gave her a raised eyebrow, to which she cheekily replied, "I'm worried too, you know. I wonder what troubles ails my friend." Rigel snorted and stared at her for a moment. The redhead met his stare with a raised eyebrow of her own.
"Do you know Occlumency, Miss Bones?" Rigel asked.
"Susan," Susan corrected, "We are friends after all... and no, I don't know Occlumency, but I have an artifact that protects my memories at all times."
Rigel looked at her hands and noticed the bracelet she was showing off. After staring into her eyes once more, he relented and stepped aside, Susan skipped past him into the room, and Rigel followed, his eyes straying at her plump ass for the moment as Amelia went through with a slew of detection charms around the room.
"Colloportus~" Amelia chanted, the only spell she cast verbally at the door. Her intention was clear: She made it known that the audible spell was for his benefit.
"Thank you," Rigel reciprocated her intent and then sat down on one of the desks. Amelia followed his example and settled on another after using an overpowered cleaning charm at the old desk.
"So, Mr. Black, enough with the fanfare. I was told you have some information about where Sirius Black is hiding?" Amelia spoke as she settled down.
"Of course," Rigel spoke before he gave her a confused look, "but I never mentioned anything about me knowing where Sirius Black is hiding?"
The atmosphere in the room froze, as did Amelia's face before she glared at him and then at her niece, "...be very careful with your words, Mr. Black. I don't have time for games and pranks."
'Who said anything about pranks?' Rigel wondered as Susan spoke up, "What are you talking about." Her face set in a frown, "I clearly remember you saying you know the location of where Sirius Black is..."
"Nooo..." Rigel stretched out the words as he turned to look at Susan and replied, "I told you that I know the location of the fugitive who is accused of being a mass murderer and is on the run. I never said it was Sirius Black."
Susan's mouth snapped shut with an audible snap as she glared at Rigel. Amelia, though, quickly caught onto the fact that at least Rigel knew something, so she decided to pressure him, "And who pray to tell is this man, this mass murderer is?"
"Why Peter Pettigrew, of course!" Rigel replied with absolute confidence. His only reply was two dead stares locking onto him.
'Okay, so maybe I'm not as charismatic as I thought I was.'

Capítulo 122: A plan set in Motion! Part-2
{2nd Floor Corridor, Hogwarts}
{5th Oct 1991}
{3rd person POV}
"Why Peter Pettigrew, of course!" Rigel replied, his words washed over the two redheads in front of him. Susan now had a confused expression on her face, and Amelia looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Peter Pettigrew is dead. He died 17 years ago," Amelia spoke, her eyes scanning Rigel's face for any slip-ups.
"Nope," Rigel reiterated, "I have a very good source that revealed to me that Peter Pettigrew is alive, and I know where he is..." Rigel put his hand up, stopping Amelia from interjecting, "...just listen to me for a moment, please, Aunty?" Rigel pleaded it was the first time he got a reaction from her as she glared at him.
"Alright, Alright, I know where my Uncle is as well, and I'll take you to him as soon as you can fulfill some very minor conditions of the mine." Rigel relented. He didn't want to anger the head of an important government body.
Amelia looked at Rigel with narrowed eyes. The boy was clearly sharp, and his motivation was likely a lot more than bringing Sirius to justice. How she moved forward now would depend on what he demanded in return.
"Speak," she relented as well. Trying to get an arrest warrant against one of the heirs of the Noble house would take a lot of time and proceedings when she had nothing but his word to go on. But she had an out as well. With the smearing battle that went on in the Daily Prophet last month, she knew that the Malfoy was against Rigel, and likely that meant that the Minister was as well.
'It would be a little wrong but he is obstructing a criminal investigation at this rate, I would just have to make sure that Malfoy's minions couldn't get anywhere near the boy.' Alemia concluded her Plan B.
"It's just a minor thing that would take some time and effort, not too much, but just a little." Rigel started, but seeing Amelia grunt at him to hurry up, he decided to cut his speech short and instead ask a question, "Do you have files on all the Azkaban prisoners? You know, something like the proceedings of how their trial went and stuff like that?"
Amelia paused and thought about his question before she nodded, "Of course, why?"
"I want to see Sirius Black's trial file, a list of all the witnesses who were presented, and stuff like that," Rigel replied.
"Why?" Amelia asked with narrowed eyes again, Rigel's motive didn't make sense, 'Did he want to know for sure that Sirius was guilty before he gave him up?'
It made logical sense, but somehow, Amelia knew that would not be the case. She drummed her fingers on the desk as she maintained eye contact with the boy. She expected him to look away, but it seemed he was quite confident in his demands.
"Fine you will have your file, now where is Black?" Amelia asked.
"Right here!" Rigel replied but his joke didn't seem to amuse Alemia, from the corner of his eyes he did see Susan smile a little though.
"I'm not giving him up so soon, I want that file along with a meeting to make sure my interests are not harmed. It's nothing against you, and I have heard great things about you, but from what I know about the Muggle police, I see that they tend to be quite corrupt." Rigel shrugged. He seemed to have annoyed Amelia further as her hand twitched for her wand.
"Fine, I'll set you up a meeting with a good Solicitor," Amelia replied.
"Nope," Rigel reiterated before he put his hands up in surrender as Amelia moved forward a little bit. He wanted her off her game, so he had to resort to these petty tricks.
"We'll have another meeting. I want you, the Minister, and Dumbledore to attend it as I give you the locations of both Pettigrew and Sirius," Rigel conceded.
...
The staring contest began in Ernest as Rigel stared into Amelia's grey eyes. He also noticed the difference between her and Susan's eye color.
"And I would appreciate it if you could get access to the Truth Serum in the next meeting," Rigel replied, saying that he was now finished with his demands.
'I wonder which eye color is the dominant eye color of the Ancient and Noble House of Bones...'
"You'll have your meeting tomorrow, at 9 AM..." Amelia replied before she stood up. After a nod, she walked out of the room without another word.
Rigel stared at her bouncing ass for a bit before he turned back to look at Susan with a questioning look.
"You irritated her. Did you have to be so annoying? Aunty would help you, you know," Susan asked. She frowned as she stared at Rigel.
"I know..." Rigel replied and sighed. He looked into Susan's eyes and spoke, "I know, but schemes are a Slytherin thing, you know. One's reputation can only be trusted as long as the pros and cons of any and every action remain balanced. Your aunt has quite a lot to gain and quite a lot to lose following these events. I'm just looking out for my interest and making sure that the truth doesn't get buried."
The Bones heiress appreciatively nodded to his acting. Rigel knew that he had completed one of her conditions, so now he could move forward with his plan. He stood up and extended his hand to Susan, who was sitting on a table. Susan's eyes brightened as she placed her hand in Rigel's as she hopped off the table.
Rigel maintained eye contact with Susan as he lightly brushed his lips against her knuckles. As he collected his reward for the condition, a flushed look appeared on Susan's face as he spoke, "Thank you for your help, I hope I didn't upset you with my schemes. I hope we can be friends?"
As Susan struggled under the effects of her own arousal, Rigel glanced at the reward that he got.
