A Canning Plun
Disclaimer: ownership? Don’t have any!
AN: Here’s the plan. (As if I’d really make you wait for it!)It’s a Dumbledore plan, so beware the freakiness!
Chapter 3: A Canning Plun
“A plan?” Kadrin asked.
“Yeas.” Dumbledore smiled gently at the still shaky looking girl.
“You have a plan.”
“Indeed.”
“A plan involving me?”
“And Sirius.”
“A plan involving me. And Sirius who is supposed to be in prison. Who IS in prison, but is here at the same time. I mean the present Sirius is here and the Sirius of the past is in prison. Or is it the other way around? My head hurts!”
“It’s best not to over think some things dear girl. Lemon drop?”
“Um… Yes thank-you.” Kadrin accepted the sweet and jumped in her seat as Dumbledore cried “Yes! Success!” and did a small victory lap around his desk. She blinked rapidly as the old man flopped back down in his chair.

“And the plan is?” Sirius spoke up, manfully ignoring the stranger than usual behaviour of the Professor.
“Well. As you may or may not be aware Sirius, Harry will be starting his first year of study here at Hogwarts in August.” Albus beamed at Kadrin who was rolling her lemon drop against the back of her teeth as she listened.
“Harry, his godson?” Kadrin queried.
(Veritaserum Questioning can reveal a LOT of information if the questions are not worded correctly. The potion compels whoever has taken it to tell all the truth regarding a particular question. When the Aurors had asked Kadrin if she had ever done anything that could be considered illegal she had listed everything. From parking on double yellow lines, to the time when she was three and stood in the fruit section of Tesco eating the grapes off the shelf.)
“Yes. And after Sirius’ account of what will/has happened over the years, I believe it would behove us to have people we trust within the student body to lend him their protection. Say, a student with the spell knowledge of an adult and an impassioned young lady displaying the first signs of a formidable magic talent.”
“You’re talking about Kadrin and I.” Sirius exclaimed incredulous.
“Nae offence old man.” Kadrin interjected. “But neither of us exactly looks like school kids. An’ one of us bears an uncanny resemblance to a convicted mass murderer.”
“I didn’t kill anyone!”
“I said ye were convicted, no’ guilty!” Kadrin replied before remembering she was upset with Gr…Sirius. “Fanny!”
“I have taken that into consideration.” Dumbledore continued. “There is a potion used in wizarding adoptions that infuses the child with the traits of the parent or parents. Essentially making them the actual child of the wizard and/or witch on a genetic level. I have a wizard in mind who could act as the donor for this potion allowing the two of you to travel unnoticed through the Wizarding World. Also, there is the Reguvin charm. Which can be used to magically reduce you’re ages so you will be the same ages as the rest of the students.” He beamed at the gawping pair. They were impressed, he could tell.
“Are you off yer fucking NUT?” Kadrin cried. “ I’m no’ doin’ this I’m goin’ hame!”
“I’m afraid that’s quite impossible, irrespective of whether you agree to the plan or not.” Albus replied sternly. It was most vexing that everyone seemed to think he was mentally imbalanced.
“WHY?!”
“I’m afraid that any trip through the veil is strictly one way. The only reason Sirius was ever able ton return was because of his ability to change his form. If you try, you will most certainly die.”
Kadrin slumped defeated into her chair, eyes filling with tears. Sirius paled, finally realising what exactly he’d done to the person who had spent a year nursing him back to health in the other world and given him a home. He hung his head; it seemed he was doomed to fail everyone who was dear to him. First James and Lily, then Harry with his impetuous behaviour at the Ministry, and now Kadrin would never see her home or family again because of what he had done.
“What’s in it for us?” he croaked
“Pardon?” Albus asked peering over his glasses.
“If we do this, what do we get out of it?” He said more firmly, lifting his eyes to meet the Headmaster’s.
“Well. A second chance for you Sirius in many ways. Not the least of which to get to now your godson better. And Miss McNamara will get a magical education from one of the finest schools of witchcraft and wizardry in the world, if I do say so myself.”
For a while the only sounds n the room were the ticking of a clock, Fawkes’ light snoring, and Kadrin grinding her teeth as the two thought about the choice before them.
“I’ll do it.” Kadrin finally declared. “But what if we do anything that alters the time line? What if we do something that prevents Harry from defeating Whatsizname…The Dark Loon?”
“I had thought of that.” Albus twinkled at the irreverent reference to one of the most feared wizards in history. “I can alter your memories. NOT” He raised a hand to fend off Kadrin’s protests. “Remove them. There would merely no longer be any emotional connection for you. In a sense, it would be like something you read in a book. You would still have access to all the knowledge you have gained but you would not be prevented from having a proper childhood.”
There was another long pause as the two mulled over this new piece of information. They looked at each other briefly before turning to the Headmaster.
“Done.” They both proclaimed.
“Excellent. I have already taken the liberty of informing the aforementioned donor and they should be arriving shortly with the potion.”
“Who is the donor?” Sirius asked as the door opened behind them.
“You wished to see me, Headmaster?”
“SNAPE?!!!”
AN2; there you have it folks. Sirius Black and Severus Snape are soon to be related! Let the wackiness commence!
