Lovely! You've imagined some gorgeous missing scenes here and they slot into canon seamlessly. I really like how it recenters those events too, so that the relationship between Amelia and Minerva is the defining feature, not what the kids are doing. Once you point it out it makes perfect sense that Minerva would be there in the Ministry, and that the Aurors would get frustrated by Hogwarts' independence in dealing with issues like Sirius. Thought-provoking and beautifully done - thank you so much!
