Albus and Minerva recognised the voice to be from Henry Cox, the head of the house Cox and Maria’s uncle. Albus was stunned. He had lost an alliance with the Cox family. That couldn’t be happening. This alliance existed, when Maria’s father and the former head of the house was alive and helped him in the war against Voldemort. The only one, who didn’t trust him, was his younger brother, Henry Cox, but Albus rarely paid any attention to the other man. But when Maria’s father was killed by death eaters, Henry became the new head of the house, and he was trying to gain his loyalty, but it was difficult. That man barely listened to Albus and had questioned him in many ways. And now the alliance was gone due to Maria’s actions. Minerva was completely furious. How dare Henry treat his niece like this? What kind of monster could be doing this to the only family member that was left by your brother? Maria was the best promising Gryffindor in her year and was one of the top ten students. She had lost her father to the dark and her uncle instead of helping her through the disgrace, she had suffered under the hands of Narcissa and that traitor Amelia, he threw her away like she was nothing more than trash. Minerva was going to have a long discussion with that man and remind him what he had done was wrong. But now she had to comfort her, because she was still shaking from the abuse she suffered from her uncle.
