Chapter 2: freedom
It had been a few days since Remus had talked to Sirius and today the werewolf was heading to Dumbledore's office to see if he could help him and having sent him messages that he had wanted to meet up with him but he was discreet about it copying some of the old ways they did during the war in the order the thought kinda made Remus laugh he was being secretive when there was no need but something in his gut told him that in the coming days he was going to have to be extremely careful in what he does
Remus was wondering where that thought came from while he was climbing the stairs to the headmaster's door only to walk into a kid running down the stairs
"Oh sorry about that" Remus said holding out his hand for the child that looked to be in 2nd year
"No problem" the kid said standing up till a girl with pink hair appeared behind him and smacked him on the back of the head
"Yes there is Charlie Weasley you left me alone with Snape and Dumbledore up there" the girl said her hair turning a bright red this caused Remus to stare in shock at the girl before Charlie started laughing his head off
"Well I wasn't the one that put a flaming drought potion in snape's soup this morning" Charlie said this caused Remus to smirk before passing the two chatting kids and up to the headmaster's office where he found Severus Snape with a double of enchanted ice by the color in his mouth trying to stop the red of fire from escaping his throat ah the flaming drought one of Remus's favorites for pranks although most people call it something else Dragons breath and it was with that in mind that Remus smirked at Snape before tossing him the antidote he usually kept on him and when giving a look he elaborated
"I thought there might still be pranksters in Hogwarts so I came prepared that one is one of the ideal choices" Remus said smirk before turning to Dumbledore and ignoring the sound of hissing flames that were being tossed by the potion
"Ah Remus yes how are you my boy when I saw your letters they caused me some confusion" Dumbledore said this caused Snape's head to snap up and watch
"That is because I didn't won't anybody else to find out except you two and Minnie" and as soon as Remus said that name he found a hand had hit the back of his head
"Mr. Lupin I would do to remind you that while on school grounds you call me by my title as teacher" Minerva Mcgonagall said smiling at one of her favorite students this also caused Snape to smirk but then Remus's face became serious
"I had a talk with Sirius" Remus said and everyone went silent Snape started glaring at the ground probably remembering that one prank gone bad, while Albus and Minerva had went silent
"And what did he say" Dumbledore said with cold eyes only to find Remus leaning on the wall with a perplexed face
"Oh just that he never got a trial and that he blamed himself for what happened to Lily and James" Remus said this caused everyone to look up most with their own perplexed faces
"Why would he want a trial if he already admits that he did it" Snape asked himself not seeing any short of reasoning except that Sirius had went insane in Azkaban which was possible
"Yeah but when I asked what he blamed himself for it wasn't for killing them it was for getting them to choose a different secret keeper" Remus said this caused Albus to shoot straight up and stare hard into Remus's eyes and knowing what the headmaster was doing he allowed it and after a bit Albus sat back down
"Ill try my best to get the ministry to pull up a jury and trial and in that trail we will find out if Sirius black is a traitor or if we put an innocent man in jail" Albus said then the group split up Snape and Minerva to check their grades and make plans, Remus to scrounge up anything he could find that would point out the truth to him while Albus sent a letter to the ministry and then because of what everybody had been talking about decided to check up on Harry he hadn't for awhile because someone cough Malfoy cough had gotten him out of the school for a month searching for age restriction papers the idiot thought that he could get me put out of Hogwarts by my own old age ha as if' Dumbledore thought before he took a trophy off his desk and used the secret Portkey to get to the Dursleys home only to find it abandoned
What What happened here" Albus asked himself
"Oh the Dursleys they were arrested for child abuse and attempt of murder" Someone said and looking over Dumbledore spotted the owner of the neighboring house
"Thank you and what happened to the boy that was staying here Harry" Dumbledore asked hoping this was a nightmare or that there was some hope
"Oh you mean that kid last I heard of him was that they took him to a hospital and he died from brain damage" the Neighbor said before walking away and leaving Dumbledore to his thoughts and with those thoughts Albus walked from Hospital to Hospital trying to find where and what happened to Harry until he found it the Hospital they told him of how a new doctor had tried something they had been studying and that the study was completely harmless but afterwards they found Harry brain dead and that doctor gone but what they found preculture was when they barred the child
"That doctor can't remember his name came back and I swear when everyone's backs were turned he wrote something into Harry's grave stone" the Nurse said then after getting the location Dumbledore went to pay his respects to a unkempt grave
"I'm sorry my boy it seems this old man cost you too much in the hope of safety I led you to death" Dumbledore said and patted the grave only to feel something itched into it and upon looking closer found this
The body lies dead but the mind lies with me Harry Potter lives but lets see if he passess the experimint
It looked like someone was full of themselfs
"But if he does have Harry this could be a fake body hmm" Dumbledore said before scanning the writing and found a bit of DNA left on it and stored it inside a pocket he had then he disapparated
