Chapter 6 : Welcome back Sirius

Start from the beginning
                                    

Amelia - Call me dear once more and I will jinx you and why do you think I want to waste any time

Fudge - drop it Albus. Let's hear what madam Bones has to say

Amelia - Thank you minister. It has come to my attention that one of us has been sentenced to life without a trial. How would you feel if a lord to an ancient house was thrown in Azkaban without a fair trial

Lucius - that's horrendous

There were murmurs of agreement

Augusta - If this is true then I believe the lord should be given a trial today itself. We need to correct our mistake before it's too late

Amelia - I agree with you lady Longbottom but it has already been late. Sirius Black has been in Azkaban for past nine years without receiving a trial

The crowd gasped. Nobody expected Sirius Black to be the one. A bead of sweat trickled down Dumbledore's throat. The twinkle in his eye long gone

Dumbledore - SIRIUS??? SIRIUS BLACK???, we all know of his crimes. He betrayed us all by handing over James and Lily's location. He killed 12 muggles as well as Peter pettigrew in broad daylight. Nothing was left of poor Peter except his finger (sobbing). I don't think we should bring him here and revive all the bad memories

Amelia - that's what you and me know headmaster. But this was never confirmed as there were no proofs or witnesses

The crowd fell silent. Could Sirius be innocent

Amelia - I am not saying that Sirius Black is innocent but he has never been given the right to prove himself. So I request you all to give him the trial he deserved

Lucius - this is scandalous. Sirius Black is a harm to society. I say that he belongs in Azkaban

Some of the people agreed with him. Especially those who feared the Black family

Amelia - innocent until proven guilty lord Malfoy. Just a moment ago you agreed that a lord not getting a trial is a horrendous crime to our society

Dumbledore - I agree with you madam bones, but we all know of Sirius's crime

Amelia - then what's the problem in giving him a trial

Dumbledore - but

Amelia - enough headmaster. Minister I request that Sirius Black's trial takes place today itself in front of everyone

Fudge was shaking in his seat. He knew this was needed or else many purebloods would revolt, but he was scared of the Black family coming back to power

Fudge - you have my permission madam bones. Sirius Black's trial will take place in half an hour. Notify the soldiers of Azkaban to bring him in

Amelia released a breath. Finally her friend would get what he deserved. Now she had to escape before Dumbledore got a hand on her. Dumbledore went to Fudge to try and change his mind

Dumbledore - what is this minister. That criminal doesn't deserve a trial. It's just a waste of time

Fudge - I know Albus but this is required. I need to gain trust of the purebloods. Now I don't want to discuss this topic anymore

Dumbledore was hella angry on the disrespect. His plans for the boy were ruined. Firstly Harry Potter went missing 4 years ago and now Sirius being free.

In Azkaban

A black dog was curled up in his dark corner, trying to provide himself the warth. He was chanting James and Harry's name again and again. Suddenly the dementors outside his cell went off and the gate was opened. He was confused.
