Title: Unlikely Heroes: Fallen feathers, mirrored scales

Pairing: Future DracoxHarry

Fandom: Harry Potter

Summary: A side fic with vignettes that should give insight into characters in my Unlikely Heroes story.

Notes: I know this title isn't as epic as that of StarlightxMassacre's Rise of the Dracken: The Scaled bits but I did my best. This is not quite a side fic but will show parts of the story that didn't make it into the main story line for whatever reasons. Hopefully this is answer questions or fill in gaps.

This side fic is dedicated to one of my favorite reviewers: Child of the sea96

Chapter 10- Dora visits the Daily Prophet

November 24, 1994

Dora assumed the guise of her investigative person, Ashley Davison, whose plain features of a young woman of indeterminable age with reddish hair and pale brown eyes would make her as unmemorable as sneaking around Hogwarts in a Hufflepuff uniform. She made her way to the reception desk. “Is Ms. Skeeter available?” she looked around nervously as if she wanted to avoid being noticed.

The receptionist looked up, “Oh yes. Do you have an appointment?”

Dora shook her head, “No. Do I need one? I’ve got some things to tell her…”

“If it’s for a story go right ahead, take the stairs to the second floor, her office is the second door on the right, she’s got one of the window offices.”

“Thank you Miss?”

“Jane Goodwin.”

“Thank you Miss Goodwin.” Dora called back as she made her way as unobtrusively as possible.

Tiptoeing her way up the stairs and timidly knocking on Skeeter’s door, still looking about as if wanting to avoid notice.

“Come in! Barney if you’re here to complain again I shan’t listen.”

Dora opened the door slowly, “It’s not Barney. It’s just me miss, Ashley Davidson…”

Rita stared at her through her spectacles, “Who might you be?”

Dora swallowed, “I…work for Lord Weasley. I overheard some things I think you might be interested in hearing. I read your stories all the time. I promised myself if I ever overheard something I must be telling you first.” She sat smoothed her skirt out and looked up, “It’ll cost you though. One thousand Galleons.”

Rita snorted, “That kind of money? For gossip? Don’t waste my time. Don’t let the wards smack you on the way out!”

Dora leaned over to whisper, “You wouldn’t be interested in the real story about what happened to the Prewett brothers? I’ve got a hair raising scandal involving two Prewetts fighting over the same man.”

“The Prewetts? Everyone knows that Molly Prewett was Bonded to Arthur Weasley because he knocked her up after sleeping with her. It’s an old scandal.” Skeeter waved her hand in disinterest. “From what Molly said, he worships the ground she walks on and she’s disgustingly happy.”

“A Bonding Arthur’s own parents disapproved of. They were expecting him to propose to someone else, someone they knew he loved. Molly Prewett cannot be and never was legally Bond to Arcturus Weasley. She was never and has never been pregnant with his child. I want my money before I give you the dirty details.” Dora said resolutely.

Skeeter’s lips twitched, she was clearly interested, “Seven hundred, fifty Gallons.”

“A thousand.” Dora said stubbornly.

“Five hundred.”

“A thousand. No one but family knows this story. I might be fired. I need that money in case.”

Skeeter tossed a bag at her, “Take it or leave it.”

Dora cast a counting spell but not before using a rare spell that would reveal the coins to be Fae gold or leprechaun gold which it wasn’t, “eight hundred seventy-five? I’ll take it.” She pocketed the money knowing it would be donated to St. Mungos. “During the course of an Auror investigation it was discovered that not only was Gideon Prewett alive he was being held captive in his own home. Arthur was bamboozled into agreeing to Bond to his lover’s little sister. It wasn’t Molly who was pregnant it was Gideon; William Bronwen was born to Gideon Lamorak Prewett and Arcturus Evrain Weasley. Despite memory charms and love potions Molly Prewett was unable to get Arthur to have sex with her. Out of desperation, Molly allowed Arthur to sleep with Gideon. Gideon conceived each time, bearing Charles Hector, Percival Brian, Frederick Maris and George Caius, the final two being twins as Gideon was with Fabian.”

Skeeter glared at her, “I thought you were going to tell me what happened to the Prewett twins.”

Dora laughed, “I am. I was just getting to that. Molly couldn’t have children with Arthur because her couldn’t have sex with her. So she slept with someone else, neither the Weasley family or the Aurors know whom at this time. The person who fathered Ronald Bilius and Ginevra Molly was the same person we know that much because she apparently confessed to that where someone overheard her. The separation from Arcturus and multiple pregnancies caused Gideon’s body to slowly begin to shut down. How he lasted so long is a mystery, yet at the same time Arthur began developing a problem sustaining the strength of his magic. It became too weak to remain an Auror, thus he was transferred to his current Department, which is also under the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. His magic continued to fall; healers couldn’t explain why his magical core was weakening.”

Dora stopped to catch her breath before continuing, “Now they hope since the couple have been brought back together that they will both recover. Whether they will become as healthy physically as well as magically that they were prior to separation we don’t know. Now back to telling you what happened to the Prewett twins. The exact date of Gideon’s first kidnapping is unknown. We do know that he was held at the Dumbledore cottage in Godric’s Hollow where Dumbledore’s sister and mother both perished within weeks of each other. Fabian was an Auror; he must have discovered his twin was being held captive. He rescued Gideon from the cottage. As far as we can tell, they were ambushed. Supposedly by Dolohov, yet we have only Moody’s word for that. Gideon was returned to his kidnappers and was then imprisoned in his family home. His sons managed to rescue him but the details I am not at liberty to say.” Dora was not telling Skeeter that they used a Blood ritual because it wasn’t her business.

“Don’t know or can’t say?” Skeeter asked, her quill hovering over the parchment.

Dora squirmed, “Can I just say I don’t what how they managed to do it because I’m not familiar with that kind of magic? It wasn’t dark or anything I just have my specialties.” She was playing a role, someone who worked for Lord Weasley rather then the assistant to Ms. Skeeter. Maybe she should have chosen a different look or name but it was too late to care now.

“So,” Skeeter said staring at Dora through her spectacles.

“I don’t want to be quoted but I want that dreadful Molly Prewett to be exposed for the lying wench she is. To do something so dreadful to her own brother, like stealing his lover. Gringotts goblins are investigating her too. Bet you could get some interesting stories from them. I heard they even want her for embezzling, the worst crime under Goblin law.”

“I’ll have to verify this information…” Skeeter said with a leer.

Dora swallowed, “I don’t know if they’ll talk to you but I know the names of the Aurors on the case.”

Skeeter’s eyes narrowed, “Who are they?”

Dora leaned close to whisper, “Aurors Tonks and Shacklebolt.”

Skeeter scoffed, “Shacklebolt never talks to the press unless he’s making a statement. Sometimes I can get Tonks to talk but sometimes she’s a closed mouth as the dead.”

Dora barely restrained a smirk, “Surely Aurors have to know when to keep mum…like when they are investigating right?”

Skeeter smirked, “There is such a thing as the public’s right to knew.”

Dora stood; anchoring the bag of galleons in her pocket with a silent blood tied sticking charm. “Pleasure doing business with you.”

“Would Auror Tonks be in the field do you know?”

Dora paused in the door, “I think I overheard her telling Auror Shacklebolt she had the day off.”

“You tell her I’ll take your word for everything. I’m not so gullible to not know when a Metamorphmagus comes into my office.”

Dora smirked, “As long as we keep our meetings between ourselves.”

“Always were my favourite Auror.” Skeeter mock saluted her.

Dora laughed, “Not bad for a Hufflepuff who didn’t understand the meaning of responsibility.”

Skeeter’s laugher followed her out of the Daily Prophet.

What Dora wouldn’t give to see Molly’s reaction to the Daily Prophet tomorrow.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
