Anybody know the name of this fic?
It was likely on Fanfiction as I read it sometime between 2017 and 2019. The story starts in summer before Harry's 3rd year with him getting onto the night bus. Rather than going to the leaky cauldron he decides to head to Hermione's place since if anybody he knew and trusted understood wizard law it was likely her. This leads to her parents meeting him (Hermione's father says something about Harry atleast not being the ginger kid who made Hermione cry) and after an explanation of events Hermione basically clears the kitchen table to spread out her books and research what can be done. Since the 1st incident was Dobby related they decide to contact the DMLE via Hedwig. This kicks off Amelia and Tonks showing up the next morning to 1: get a statement about the Dobby incident which does result in his first warning being recinded, 2: explain about sirius black and 3: explain that Tonks was now playing bodyguard for the duration of the holidays.
Hermione and her father both point out that the situation with Sirius Black makes no sense as if there was an explosion then there'd be bits of Peter everywhere and not a clean cut finger. This gets the case reopened but without Sirius turning himself in for questioning they couldn't do much.
