Harry Potter: The Witty Wizard

After she gave Harry a scan and determined he could now come off the potions completely, Andi called Sirius up.

Once he was in the room and the privacy wards went up, she got right to it with Harry.

"I'd been trying to wrack my brains and researched out the wahzoo for a way to get that accursed thing out of your head," she said. "However, it was Ted who suggested to me the way forward - muggle surgery."

Completely surprised, Harry asked, "Muggle surgery? What; he's suggesting it simply be cut out?"

"Excised, yes," she replied. "I think the muggles refer to it as 'going under the knife'."

"Yes," he sighed. "That's exactly the saying."

He thought about it for a little while and asked, "How're we going to do this? I mean, it's not as if you can tell the surgeon what he needs to accomplish."

"Actually, yes I can," she smirked. "I managed to track down a surgeon parent of a muggleborn. And he managed to track down a... gas-passer?... parent of a muggleborn."

"Anæsthetist," he muttered, looking at the floor while he thought. "He's the person in the operating room responsible for ensuring the patient remains asleep and free of pain during the surgery."

"That's the one," she agreed.

He nodded and looked back to her. "How soon can you get it set up?"

"The day before New Years Eve," she promptly replied. "The thirtieth of December."

He nodded, sighed and said, "Do it. Are you going to be there?"

She smirked back, but Harry could see she was clearly relieved by his answer. "You couldn't keep me away."

Coming back downstairs with the other two, Harry said, "I need to think. I'm going to cook." And immediately left for the kitchen.

Sirius called, "Harry?"

Turning to look at his godfather, he muttered, "Hmm?"

"Can I tell the Grangers about what we discussed?"

Harry thought about it for all of a bare moment before he replied, "You'd best. I don't think I can and they need to be aware of what it means regarding me staying here."

As Harry turned and walked away, Sirius gestured for everyone to join him in the parlour.

Once he, Andi and the Grangers were in, he threw up a set of privacy wards and said, "Because of something relating to the scar on Harry's forehead, he needs to undergo surgery."

Hermione immediately asked, "Surgery?"

"Yes," replied Sirius. "Muggle surgery."

Wendell, frowning, asked, "Why muggle? I know the magical community has their own forms of dealing with injuries and the like. And I didn't think it involved surgery, as we know it."

Andi explained, "There is a... magical miasma, you could say... that emanates from Harry's scar. It's dark in some form. Therefore, we cannot use a magical form of healing to rectify the situation. That's why we're thinking outside the box, here, and going with muggle means."

"I take it you're going to excise the scar and whatever is related to it through surgical means, then," he asked.

"Precisely," she nodded. "By excising the scar and some of the surrounding tissue, it is hoped the miasma will be removed right along with it. If it is, then we can use magical means to remove any remaining corrupt material and heal it well enough that he won't even have a scar left."

Monica asked, "When do you plan on doing this?"

"Wednesday, the thirtieth of December," Andi promptly replied. "He'll go in first thing in the morning and be out that night."

Wendell said, "Monica and I will still be on holidays, ourselves, then. We can get him there - wherever there is."

"I plan on taking him, myself," said Andi. "However, I cannot see the harm in you coming along."

Monica asked, "Which hospital?"

"Parkside," Andi promptly replied.

That had both Wendell and Monica give a start of surprise.

"That's ours!" exclaimed Wendell.

"Pardon?" asked a just as surprised Andi. "You... work there?"

"We do," he nodded. "It's only a ten minute drive from here."

Surprised, Andi said, "Then, do you know Doctor Francis Dolittle?"

"Yes," he replied. "A plastic surgeon, specialising in facial disfigurement. Either or both of us are occasionally brought in to consult when the issue touches on oral and maxillofacial issues. We also do the same the other way, when we're trying to minimise or negate disfigurement in oral surgery."

"Well," said Andi, clearly pleased. "Then, this is going to make things easier. Doctor Dolittle is the father of a muggleborn witch, like yourselves. So, you can discuss issues relating to being muggle parents of a magical with him without any problem."

That clearly made both Doctors happy.

Harry's dinner that night was, as usual, well received by all. Even Andi stayed for it and Ted was contacted and apparated over to join them for the meal.

Just before the Tonkses and Sirius left, Ted looked to Harry and said, "I'll be over tomorrow to collect the documents you've done and want to discuss other House business with you. What's the best time to turn up?"
