    "... 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.Re?Ad lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

    "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.

    "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.''
