WHO: Harry and Audrey
WHAT: Some distressing news
WHEN: Friday afternoon, end of day
WHERE: Her office, St. Mungo's

Harry knocked on Audrey's door, wishing he was here to see her for his own problems. There had been a disturbing incident this morning at the hospital, and while most of the gossips knew nothing of any value, Harry knew the whole story. Unfortunately, it involved his family. He thought Audrey had the right to know before the report went up to her husband.

Humming to herself as she moved around her office, Audrey called out a cheery "Come in!" to whoever was knocking. It was the end of the day and she was determined to get Percy to stay home with her and enjoy the weekend. A few case files were floating in the air and loads of memos were flying off of her desk and towards the bin.

She looked up at saw Harry. Audrey's smile only brightened. "Hello, Harry!"

	Harry closed the door. "Did you hear about the incident this morning?" He had to jump right into it. Harry was bad at delivering bad, odd, or shocking news. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Incident? No. I wasn't here most of the day. Had to go up to Hogwarts, actually. And then I've been in sessions the whole afternoon." Audrey wasn't one for gossip. She talked to everyone, sure, but people didn't always want to share things with her. She supposed they were nervous she'd judge them.

"What happened?" If Harry had come to talk to her, Audrey had to assume it had either been hard for him to manage or it involved someone she knew. Neither option sounded that nice.

"A few weeks ago Kingsley halted time-turner research. The wizard in charge, Niel Fry, he sort of snapped, took the last time turner before it could be destroyed, and took off. We've been looking for him since."

Harry tried to smooth his hair, as if appearing less disheveled would make this less worrisome. "Security caught him going through files in the hospital this morning. He flipped his time turner, jumped back God knows how long, and escaped. But he left the file he was looking at on the floor."

Harry handed her the file. It was her own medical files, specifically pertaining to certain fertility visits.

The cheerful expression on Audrey's face quickly faded away. Seeing her troubles written out in black and white was gut wrenching. All her hopes and dreams, all of their hopes and dreams.. all placed into a file as though they had no other meaning to them. Her fingers ran over the pages and Audrey felt the loss of her pregnancies come to the front of her mind once more.

A lump quickly rose in her throat and she snapped the file shut before looking up at Harry. With a strained voice, she spoke. "I don't understand. Why was he looking at my file?"

	"I don't know. I can only guess, but after Kingsley fired him-- well Percy's like his second these days. Maybe revenge? I can't be sure." Harry was quick to form theories, but usually they panned out differently. His real merit was in knowing what to pay attention to when everyone else thought all was fine, and being ready to act.

On a good day, Audrey had control of her emotions. She could be happy and cheerful and keep a positive attitude. But there were some things Audrey keep smiling through and this was one of them. Reaching up to cover her eyes, Audrey fought to keep the anger, pain, hurt and sorrow at bay. "You're going to tell Percy," she said. It wasn't a question. It was a statement.

Even if nothing had happened. Even if nothing would come from this incident, it would still bring their problems back to the forth of their minds. Dropping her hand away, Audrey let out a long sigh.

"He's going to be angry."

	"If you want to talk to him first, I'll wait." It was an odd situation, where someone who he had to report to was the potential victim of an incident. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And what was she going to say to him? Percy would have questions, but Audrey didn't have any answers for him. She shook her head. "No, don't wait. Go ahead. You'll be able to explain it far better than I could." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Alright." Harry nodded. "We're going to have security keep an eye out here at the hospital for a while. They have his photo and so does the welcome witch." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

All she could do was nod. Audrey's mind was overwhelmed with possible theories and what-ifs and a dozen other thoughts. Her hands went into her hair and Audrey tried her best to hold herself together.

Tried and failed. She could feel herself cracking under the past failures and the longing she felt for a child. She wanted nothing more than to make her family complete and knowing it wasn't happening and now it felt dirty by being associated with a criminal. Her eyes watered up and Audrey swallowed back against the lump in her throat.

"When you talk to him, could you please tell Percy I will meet him at home?"

	Harry wasn't the type to hug people and tell them it would be okay. Instead he just had to help her by figuring out what was going on. "Alright. I'll let him know." (Reply to this) (Parent)
