Disclaimer: Ok...let's get this cleared up. All the characters in this whole story do not belong to me. The only thing that is mine is the plot.

Author Note: Ok, another attempt at writing a Harry Potter story. If this turns out well it may turn into a series. I am not quite sure yet. Please r/r. It tells me if I should continue this story or not. So if I don't get any reviews then the story may stop.

Chapter 1: Captured

Harry Potter woke to the sound of his Aunt pounding on his door. "Boy! Wake up!" Harry groaned and felt for his glasses. Resting his hand on them he placed them on. Harry Potter looked like any other 15 year old with his unruly black hair, vivid green eyes and lanky figure, one thing that set him apart was a lightning shaped bolt that ran down his forehead, but these things were the few things that one could consider normal. Harry Potter is a wizard, and not just any wizard. He is The Boy Who Lived, the only known person who had ever survived Avada Kedavra, the killing curse. As a young wizard he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry where he is taught everything he will need to know to live within the wizarding world.

"Coming Aunt Petunia." The banging on the door ceased as Mrs. Dursley went downstairs. Harry shoved the covers off of himself and climbed out of bed. He got dressed as quickly as possible into the much-to-large clothes, which once belonged to his Cousin Dudley who had grown far to large to fit in them. Opening the door to his room the smell of breakfast flooded his senses. Dudley's diet hadn't lasted long after he came back from school for the summer. (Harry could have sworn he had grown larger) He hurried downstairs and took a seat at the kitchen table. As usual he got no recognition of his presence as his Uncle Vernon continued to read his paper, his Aunt Petunia cooked breakfast, and his oversized cousin, Dudley, watched the TV.

Harry watched the TV as well since the news station was on. The reporter had just been handed a sheet of paper and looked rather surprised as he glanced it over. "We have just gotten word that the prisoner, Sirius Black, who escaped from prison just over two years ago, has been caught.

Harry jumped out of his seat as the reporter continued his story.

"Black will be placed back into prison with much more security."

"They need to hang people like that." Mr. Dursley had placed his paper on his lap to watch the news report.

Harry glared at Vernon who was now looking at Harry. "Sirius doesn't deserve to be place back in Azakaban!" Harry said sternly slamming a hand down on the table. Ever since his last encounter with Voldemort and the death of Cedric Diggory, Harry had been much tenser and spoke more freely around his relatives.

Mr. Dursley's face turned a deep purple. "All of your kind deserves to be imprisoned. People with such abnormality shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets freely."

Harry scowled at his Uncle but he had to agree with him, to some extent. "Yea, sure, some of the wizards and witches shouldn't be allowed too more around freely, especially Voldemort. But Sirius is one of the people who should be allowed to enjoy freedom. Sirius is innocent of all the charges against him! He doesn't deserve a punishment this bad. And if I know Fudge, they'll have the dementors perform the kiss!' Harry was furious at his Uncle. Mrs. Dursley had made a point to stand beside her son as if to protect him from any 'abnormality' Harry may release.

Mr. Dursley stood up to face his nephew. "How dare you speak to me that way! I fee you, clothe you, and give you a place to stay and sleep!" Mr. Dursley's face grew more purple by the second as he stared at Harry.

Harry stormed out of the kitchen not wanting to hear his Uncle's ranting anymore. He hurried up to his room wanting to Owl Dumbledore about Sirius, but when opening his bedroom door a large brown owl swooped over to him, landing on his shoulder. The owl stuck his leg out so Harry could take the letter tied to it off. Harry Obliged and untied the letter. The owl fluttered over to Hedwigs cage, which had been abandoned by his snowy owl for the other owl, and gulped down some water. Apparently the bird was told to wait for a reply. Harry unfolded the letter and read it with haste.

Harry,

I am sure you have heard that Sirius has been captured. What you may not know is that I have persuaded the ministry to allow Sirius a trial. When the trial is arranged I must ask you to be a witness. Your friends Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger will also be asked to take part in the Trial. Please reply immediately.

Dumbledore

PS: I need to speak to you as soon as you arrive at school.

Harry quickly snatched a quill and a bottle of ink from under his bed and scribbled a reply.

Dumbledore,

Of course I'll be a witness. Anything to get Sirius's name cleared. I am sure Ron and Hermione will participate as well.

Harry

He folded the letter back up and tied it to the brown owl's leg. The owl hooted and took off out of Harry's window Hedwig who had to leave to her cage so the brown owl would fit hooted. Harry smiled at the snow-white bird and pulled out a piece of parchment and hastily wrote a letter to Ron.

Ron,

I just got a letter from Dumbledore about Sirius. He said that you would receive one as well. I told him that I would stand as a witness. I just want Sirius to be cleared of the charges against him. Tell me what you agreed to do.

Your Friend,

Harry

After finishing he tied the letter to Hedwig who took flight towards The Burrow.
