THIRD POV:

"Change of plans", Abraxas told Walburga and Orion who sat in Abraxas's study this time.

"Since Walburga isn't an "official Ministry worker", she cannot enter Hogwarts ground because it would be "unfair" according to Dumbledore", he finished telling the Black couple who looked just as annoyed as he was feeling before brightening up.

"But on the bright side, a dear Ministry friend of mine who hates Dumbledore's guts gave me a polyjuice potion along with a few strands of her hair; gave you Walburga permission to pose as her for the day." He finished on a happy note.

Smiling Walburga took the potion and the strands of blonde hair and added to the potion as the murky brown potion became a bit darker. Giving the two men a look who looked at her expectantly, rolled her eyes as she swallowed a mouthful of the potion that would last her for about 4 hours, enough time for them to execute their plan.

WALBURGA POV:

Looking at the nasty brown potion, I gave the two the stink eye as they tried to hide their chuckles when I gagged at the horrid taste. The things I do to protect this damn world, I sighed to myself. Conjuring a body mirror, I looked at myself in the mirror noticing I shrunk in height and size.

Standing at 5'5" I had a short blonde wavy bob cut along with crystal blue eyes and arched eye brows. My nose was shorter and less sharp looking and more soft. I looked more delicate and girly. I was more petite and my boobs were a bit smaller. Sighing, I sent Abraxas a glare.

Noticing my glare he asked "What?".

"Really Abraxas, Alice Lefevre, the French pretty pureblood you've been heads over heels for?", I asked him arms crossed with a raised eyebrow and smile as Abraxas turned pink. Letting out a little giggle I gave him a hug as Orion laughed clapping Abraxas on the back, "You sly dog".

Rolling my eyes at the two, I snapped my finger gaining the two men's attention. "Are you ready dear sir I believe we have a horcrux to destroy".

Orion gave me a kiss before flooing back to the Black Manor. Holding onto Abraxas offered arm he side-along apparated in the front gates of Hogwarts where we were met with Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster, Minerva McGonagall the Deputy Headmistress, and Rubeus Hagrid the gates keeper who let us all in after introductions and pleasantries were done.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, one of the safest place in Magical Britain next to Gringotts bank!", Dumbledore happily said as he guided us along with McGonagall who lagged behind us. "I must warn you wizards and witches alike cannot apparate and disapperate to, or from within Hogwarts". He said looking at Abraxas then to me with his crescent spectacles.

Forty minutes into the tour while Dumbledore continued to boast about how great and safe Hogwarts was. When a corporal patronus of a fox, ran up to Dumbledore as it opened it's mouth to relieve a message. "ALBUS DUMBLEDORE CODE RED CODE RED!", a frantic man's voice shouted before the fox disappeared into nothing.

Looking concerned he apologized to us, "My apologies Lord Malfoy and Ms. Lefevre, I must cut this short as an emergency is in need of my attention. I'm sure Minerva, can continue this tour". He told us before quickly heading down to his office.

Hearing a little *hem hem*, we turn to look at McGonagall who looked a bit peeved at her new task. After all the two adults weren't her cubs but rather "evil slimy Slytherins".

'Yes, this is working even better than we originally planned". I thought as I subtly signaled Abraxas to distract McGonagall to go somewhere else. Understanding what I wanted him to do, he slightly moved his head, telling me he understood. McGonagall finally stopped talking turned to the two of us.

"Any Questions?", she asked.

Abraxas tooked this as his que and started asking her a bunch of questions, distracting her as he subtly pulled her away from the seven floor as he asked her to show him where the curriculum for Transfiguration was to analyze it taking offensive to that, McGonagall marched down to her office to prove him wrong. Not noticing she left Alice(Walburga) behind.

Who snuck into the Room of Requirements or the Come-and-Go room, thinking of a room of lost things pacing by the room three times before a passage opened. After a bit of rummaging she finally found the diadem, and stabbed it with her venom infused dagger as the horcrux let out a terrible screech.

Breathing harshly, Walburga sat on her knees looking at the destroyed horcrux with a satisfied smile. "One down, five more to go", she whispered as she clean up all the dust on her and fixed her appearance before walking back into the hallway as the entrance disappeared.

Just in time as, McGonagall and Abraxas came back to fetch me. McGonagall apologized for leaving me behind, while Abraxas behind her stared into my eyes as if asking me if I succeeded. I just gave him a small smile, getting the hint he smiled a bit back as McGonagall took us back to the front gate.

"Thank you for the tour Lady McGonagall, but at last we must be going now. It seems like everything is in order, goodbye for now", Abraxas said lightly kissing her hand while I curtsied smiling at her as she finally smiled back. And with that Abraxas apparated us back to his manor, mission success.

Saying goodbye to Abraxas with a gentle hug as I flooed home to tell my husband the good news as my appearance reverted back to its original stated. Getting out the floo, I picked up my dress and ran into Orion's arms smiling, "We did it!". I exclaimed as he smiled and pulled me into a kiss.

Before our moment was interrupted by Sirius who squirmed between us and demanded that I picked him up. Laughing, Orion picked up Regulus from his play pin while I lifted Sirius into my arms as we cuddled on the couch together.

Life was looking brighter than ever, Walburga and Orion thought as they looked down at their children then to each other with love in their eyes. Sharing a kiss, they continued to cuddle as Sirius told them what he did that day.
