(A/N: I know it has been forever since I have written, but I'm back. This is a lot like the goodbye hogwarts fic, but it only has to do with one thing. This story takes place in the middle of the third book, and Sirius, Lupin, Harry, Hermionie, Ron, and Peter all have made it safely back into hogwarts castle. Snape was left behind, enabling them to escape. The story starts here)
A New Life part 1
Harry, along with his tired friends Hermionie and Ron, and their teacher Lupin, all had just found out the truth about Sirius. They had all just burst through the castle doors, all looking tired and extremely grim, as they knew even though they had peter, it was still going to be hard freeing Sirius. Lupin took the lead, trying to get to Dumbledore's office. Harry followed, with Hermionie and Ron on either side of him, and Sirius, with his wand pointed directly at Peter's back. Harry was the only one happy. He couldn't get his mind off of the fact that soon he would be living with he godfather. However, his merriment soon was wiped away, as a problem had arisen.
Harry spun, as he heard a clunk like noise. He was not the only one to turn, as everyone else did too. There was Cornelius Fudge surrounded by several teachers, and on the floor, was an unconscious Sirius. "Congratulations! Harry, you just caught Sirius! How did you do this! McGonagall" Cornelius said, spinning on professor McGonagall, "Go get Dumbledore and return here immediately. I'll make sure Sirius black doesn't escape."
All of the sudden, Fudge pressed against the wall, surrounded by people talking all at once.
"He is innocent"
"It was Peter"
"He was framed"
"We can prove it"
Cornelius stopped them and said, "you have all had a long night, and you are confused. Don't worry....." Fudge suddenly stopped as he looked past them to a crumpled figure on the ground near Sirius. "It....its.....PETER!.......but....but.....how can that be?" Immediately, the three broke out into their story, but were stopped by fudge, as he couldn't talk all three at them at once. He had Harry start his story, with Hermionie and Ron helping him. He was very doubtful, but then, how could peter be here? All of the sudden, Dumbledore arrived. He said, "sorry it took us a while, but I heard what happened, and I had to get this..." and Dumbledore took out a flask full of truth potion. He bent down to the semi conscious Peter, and Sirius, whom had just regained consciousness. He gave each of them some of the potion. He proceeded in asking his questions. "Peter, this is a surprise. How, by chance, did you make it all these years when you were supposed to be dead?" Peter went into the same story that he had given Harry back in the shack. The story took him only a few minutes, as he was not stuttering as usual.
After that story, Dumbledore spun on Sirius. "I have a few questions I would like to ask you Sirius. First. When you entered our castle, why did you do it if it was not to harm anyone?"
"It was so I could get at peter. I knew he was here when I saw a picture of him in the daily prophet a while ago." Sirius said, while Fudge remembered when he was asked for the newspaper, and all of the sudden felt very uncomfortable. Dumbledore continued his questions of the two for quite some time, and would not let the three talk. He then sent all three of them to Madam Pomfrey so they could rest, while he spoke to Cornelius, Lupin, Sirius, and Peter. The three objected, but were immediately shooed off to Madam Pomfrey.
The three wanted to talk about everything that had happened, but it was very hard to do that when Madam Pomfrey kept forcing you to shove down peaces of chocolate, when you were not hungry. Madam Pomfrey checked to make sure they had no wounds, and then told them to sleep, and they could talk in the morning. As much as Harry wanted to talk, he was very tired, and he fell asleep quickly.
In the morning, Harry was first to rise. He sat in his bed, thinking of the night before, when Ron suddenly woke up. They talked, which woke up Hermionie, and soon, all were going over the excitement of last night, when the door opened, emitting Dumbledore. He approached the three and said, "Harry, I have a lot to tell you. But first, I must tell you this. We checked out each of their stories, and since they were under the effects of a truth potion, we have no reason not to believe them. Peter will be sent to azkaban, as you wished, and the minister and I agree that Sirius shall be let free. You will now be able to live with him..........."
Well, that's all for this chapter. In my next installment, we'll find out what life is like when Sirius gets freed, and if it will be great, or if there will be problems. And what about Snape? Well, you'll find out in the next chapter. Also, if you are wondering what I am talking about when I say goodbye hogwarts, then please go read it. I hope you enjoyed this installment, and please, review, and hopefully I can write again soon.
