The Twice Blessed Child

Chapter 21

"Oh come one. This is the first time I've been with you to celebrate since we left Vernon." I said

Harry smiles.

"And hopeful next year you can celebrate with your godfather as well." I said

"Yeah maybe." Harry said

The next few days few by fast. On Harry's Birthday he was actually happy about it. He got a gift from Ron, Hermione, Petunia, Dudley, Mrs. Weasley, and I. The day of the trail quickly came up. Harry and I were dressed like we knew what we were doing. We were waiting in the court room for the trail to start.

- Court Room -

Harry and I were sitting on the side of the court room, waiting. The members of the Wizengamot to file in and take their seats. Once they were all seated, and woman came in a climbed up and sat down in the middle and behind a podium. Once she was sat down, there was a flash of light on the podium. She read over the paper and her eyes got huge.

"Today's Wizengamot session has been called to order, to go over the case or lack thereof Sirius Black Lord of the Ancient and Most Noble House." the woman said

The wizards and witches behind her broke out in whispers. She hit the table a couple of times to get them to quiet down. A few seconds after they got quite the doors opened and two wizards walked in. A man with black shaggy hair who looked quite pale and skinny followed behind them. They helped him sit down in the chair that was in the middle of the room. The man looked around the room. His eyes landed on Harry and I he got a small smile on his face before he looked back up at the woman.

"My name is Amelia Bones and I will be the high inquisitor of your trial. Are you okay answering questions and testifying under Veritaserum?" Amelia asked

"Yes, I am." Sirius said

"Give him the serum." Amelia said

On the men that brought him in went over opened a book and picked a vial that looked like it was full of water. He walked over to Sirius and dropped three drops into his mouth. Then the man went and put it back.

"Please state your name for the court." Amelia said

"Sirius Orion Black." Sirius said

"Did you betray the Potter's?" Amelia asked

"No." Sirius said

The people in the room went crazy. Amelia banged on the podium again.

"If you didn't then who did?" Amelia asked

"Peter Pettigrew." Sirius said

The crowd once again went crazy, and Amelia once again banged on the podium.

"Please explain." Amelia said

"When the Potter's first went into hiding under the Fidelius Charm we planned on making the secret keeper. But under further thinking we decided to make Peter Pettigrew the secret keeper because everyone would think it was me. So Peter would be safe in turn the Potter's would be safe. We had no clue that he was really a Death Eater." Sirius said

This time the crowd broke out in whisper. Amelia looked down at the paper in front of her.

"You also being charged with the death of twelve muggles, and Peter Pettigrew. Did you kill these people?" Amelia asked

"No I didn't. I felt the wards on the Potter house fall. I went right over and found Harry and Anastasia who was my brother's goddaughter in a crib. I picked them both up, and I heard something so I turned and saw Hagrid. He said that Dumbledore sent him. I handed him the children and left to track down Peter. I found him, he then started yelling about how I betrayed the Potter's. He shot off a few spells, and then cut off his finger, turned into a rat, and entered the sewers." Sirius said
