Sirius accompanied Remus to Arabella's (A/N 'Mrs Figg') house one day.
Remus knocked on the door. After a moment Arabella opened the door. Remus
walked in followed by a big black shaggy dog, on seeing the big black dog
Arabella screamed, backed away and drew her wand. In an instant there was a
tall lean man standing there, His haunted eyes gave him away as the
infamous Sirius Black.
"Why have you returned after all these years? After what happened to the Potters how could you ever show your face again! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you this instant!" Arabella screamed
With that Sirius slumped down into the couch and put his hands on his face. His body shook and he looked up to Arabella.
"Because I wanted to explain the story to you after all these years. Although if you still wish to kill me hear me out first and then kill me." Sirius replied.
"Ok then, whats the real story?"
"Wormtail is a traitor. He drew his wand on himself and blasted the street. He transformed and escaped. We nearly caught him in 1993. (A/N that was the Harry third year wasn't it??) He's still alive and out there serving Voldemort. If it wasn't for me stopping Harry from letting Wormtail go Voldemort wouldn't have risen. So be damned. If anyone needs killing it is certainly me" Sirius said with a shudder.
His grieved face stunned Arabella so much there was no doubt in her mind that Sirius was innocent. With that Arrabella jumped up to join her Fiancé. (A/N I got it right didn't I?)
Sirius looked at her with sorrowful eyes and began to sing in a slow morbid pace.
Some people stay far away from the door If there's a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in the hall outside And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch And the anger of having been a fool They will not listen to anyone So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself I know you're thinking of somebody else Someone who hurt you But I'm not above Making up for the love You've been denying you could ever feel I'm not above doing anything To restore your faith if I can Some people see through the eyes of the old Before they ever get a look at the young I'm only willing to hear you cry Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe Another promise they hear in the dark Because they only remember too well They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night Instead of taking a lover to bed Some people find that it's easier to hate Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say I know you're gonna keep turning away But I've been there and if I can survive I can keep you alive I'm not above going through it again I've not above being cool for a while If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight Some people figure they can never win And although this is a fight I can lose The accused is an innocent man I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight That's your decision But I'm not below Anybody I know If there's a chance of resurrecting a love I'm not above going back to the start To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure Some people just accept the world as it is But I'm not willing to lay down and die Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man Oh yes I am An innocent man
As Sirius finished his song Arabella gave him a great hug and a kiss.
"Its good to have you back after all these years, Sirius" Arabella said.
