Author's Note: This is my first fic and I'm not really sure where it is going. It's set during Harry's 5th year at Hogworts. There will probably be a battle with Voldemort in the end but I'm not sure. I've read all 4 books twice but I'm only human so there might be a few mistakes.

Disclaimer: Everything except the plot and maybe a few characters later on belong to J.K. Rowling.

" Sirius Black, You are sentenced to return to Azcaban, for life. Under the same charges as before." Sirius was chained to small stool. He was in a large, Dungeon-like room with over a hundred witches and wizards seated on benches. The minister of magic, Cornelius Fudge unrolled a piece of parchment and read, "The charges are as follows, the murder of Peter Pettigrew and 12 other muggles in broad daylight with witnesses, revealing the location of the Potter family to the Dark Lord and causing the death of Lily and James Potter. And also another charge. Escaping from Azcaban and 15 murders during your escape and capture. (A/N I don't know how many people he killed but I'll just say 15) Bring in the dementors." The door swung open 8 dementors came out. They were about to grab Sirius when, for the first time during the trial, Sirius spoke.

" I did not kill Peter or those muggles! Peter is alive! He has helped Voldemort come back into power!" Every wizard filched at the name Voldemort. "He was the Potter's secret keeper and HE revealed the location of the Potter's to Voldemort. In the street I confronted him! He tried to run. I pulled my wand but did not kill him. Pettigrew cut off his own finger so there would be something left. He transformed in to a rat AFTER he killed those muggles. Pettigrew was an unregistered animagus! Dumbledore, tell them I'm innocent!" The wizards gasped as Dumbledore nodded and rose from his seat. He began to walk to the front to address the wizards. Fudge ran and grabbed his shoulder.

"Dumbledore, you aren't seriously going up to defend this. this murderer."

Without turning around Dumbledore said, " I certainly do intend to defend Sirius. I do not believe he is a murderer and I ask that you kindly remove your hand and allow me to continue." Fudge let go of Dumbledore and Dumbledore walked down towards the front once more. He looked over at the dementors and drew his wand. " Expecto patronum" A silver phoenix shot out from his wand and the dementors fled. H stood in front of the many witches and wizards and said. " I do believe that Sirius is innocent and I know a million things I could tell you that says he is innocent, but, I believe that the best person to tell you is, Harry Potter. Mr. Potter has seen, many times, Peter Pettigrew, Lord Voldemort, and he believes that Sirius Black is innocent. So if you will excuse me for a moment while I retrieve young Mr. Potter." There was a loud POP and Dumbledore vanished.

400 miles away, Harry Potter lay awake wondering if his Godfather is still safe.
