He Lived
Ch. 1
Sirius Black looked at Peter Pettigrew as the Dementor took the life of his old friend. Another Marauder gone. A lone tear rolled down his unshaven cheek, and he wiped it away angrily. Marauders don't cry. But he couldn't help the aching sadness in his chest as he saw Wormtail bravest of them all, fall. Two Healers came in, giving everyone a piece of Honeyduke's finest and levitating Peter out.
Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, motioned for an auror to remove the cuffs form Sirius.
"Lord Black, we here at the ministry are deeply sorry for your inconvenience," Sirius snorted, "We compensate you 10,000 galleons for the ten days you had to stay in the presence of the dementors," Clearing her throat she continued, "However, we will have to remove 1,000 galleons for being an unregistered animagus, granted you get registered when you leave here. Court adjourned."
Sirius just sat there, nodding dumbly as the various Aurors and Wizenmagot members filed out. Dumbledore and one of the last living marauders, Remus Lupin, walked up to him.
"S-Sirius," Remus started, and then took a deep breath, "I'm sorry. I truly though you betrayed Lily and James. If I knew, believe me, I would've done every thing I could to get you out."
Sirius smirked, "And I', sorry I thought you were the spy."
Remus gaped like a fish out of water, then laughed, "Marauder's always and forever right?"
"Always."
Dumbledore cleared his throat, "Mister Black, while I know you want to get custody of your godson as soon as possible, I'm afraid that's out of the question."
The silence was unfathomable, "What?"
