Chapter 4
Here they were on shore where it was almost impossible to see each other with fog all around them and being night didn't help the matter. They knew it was not the time or the place for fog to be around them, so they were quite sure they were in right direction. James had to convince Jane to accept this plan. He needed her help to locate Azkaban in first place. They would have known it in seconds if they asked any of their teachers, but it's not like they know what they are doing. Twins were other issue, they agreed the moment he told what his plan was. They were incredibly happy like he had accepted to be their genua pig for their experiments.
"I can't believe that I am doing this" said a voice from his left
"You don't have to do anything more. You did your job in finding it. That is enough and you can stay here for our return" said James knowing what her answer would be. She used special satellite, which was sent by organization a long time ago, to check if she was right about the location after she had short listed the possibilities after her research.'Somewhere around the Shetland Islands. The extremently remote, now uninhabited island of North Rona, many miles off the North-West coast of Scotland, has been occasionally suggested as an alternative location, on the grounds of it having been offered for use as a Penal Colony in the 19th Century.'
She seems to think for a bit before answering "You Know that I am not staying behind. If I don't come you three will do something stupid and get yourselves killed"
James shook his head and said to them "You know what you have to do, right?"
Seeing others nod "Right, we will meet in five minutes on the island"
With that twins turned into pair of Eagles and disappeared in the night. James, as shape-shifter thought of flying but decided to give Jane company. They both took some gillyweed into their mouth before swallowing and took off in direction of island.
After reaching the shore they shared a glance at prison before them. They dried themselves and Jane changed into a small Loin cub. They decided to remain in their animagus form so that dementors won't sense them. James himself changed into a black panther deciding it would give him edge in dark.
They decided to check on each floor and if they find they will contact others. So, they split and James found himself going through shadows and found that his floor contained a lot of dementors stationed outside the cell. It was almost impossible to recognize Sirius, thought James with everyone looking almost same with gloomy look, like they are not going to be happy any longer with long hair and all.
Finally, James found what he thought was Sirius and studied him for a while before deciding that it was him. He contacted others with a small microphone giving them a small growl indicating he found him.
He carefully went inside through bars so as not to wake him. After a while he saw others come one by one. Twins were in their other form, fox. James transformed pointing his wand at Sirius. They were in dark so as they would not draw any attention incase some Auror decided to patrol. He waved his wand around the cell once and happy with results turned his attention back to Sirius.
Sirius woke with a start with a look of surprise on his face seeing a small figure in dark pointing wand at him.
Before Sirius could talk, James said "I came here to know the truth." taking veritaserum from his cloak and tossing it.
James could see number of emotions passing through his face happiness, sadness, disappointment before he took the cork and gulped the clear potion into his mouth.
James waited a minute before asking "Did you betray the Potters?"
"No, I did not." came an answer and James knew he was telling the truth because he was also using his legilimency skill on him.
"Then how did their hiding place was known to Voldemort?"
"It was told to him by Peter Pettigrew who is the secret keeper."
"You were the secret keeper, were you not?"
"I was secret keeper, but changed on suggestion of Dumbledore when he told everyone will think that I would be the obvious choice."
"Why would he want to do that?"
"I don't know"
"Then who killed all those muggles?"
"It was Peter, he killed everyone and cut his own finger and ran off in his rat form. He faked his own death."
"Were you or if given a chance would join Voldemort's forces."
"I would die before having to make that kind of choice"
Apparently satisfied, he turned to his friends and seeing them nod, he gave Sirius the antidote before telling him they were leaving and he has to obey till they reach their place.
Not giving him a chance to speak, James told him to change into his animagus form and follow him.
After shock wore off Sirius' face, he for the first time observed the other members in the room and nodded to himself before changing into his animagus form.
James flicked his wand once to cancel the charm he placed and another to wipe out the stray magic so as no one would point him. He quickly changed into panther and followed out.
Once they were out on other side of place, James took a rock and turned it into a portkey and gave it to Sirius who was shocked once again. James explained "It will take you into a cell in our place. Don't worry, we just want our place to be secret and there will not be any dementors. You will get everything there and we will come around shortly to check on you."
After Sirius reluctantly going off, they too touched their portkey and were gone without a trace of them being there.
Harry, so far had a very good day after being able to rescue his god-father, who was wrongly held for seven years. His friends were also seemed to be happy saving an innocent person. But Jane was watching him with a calculating look on her face. What can he do, he was extremely happy, and after all he can live with Sirius now that he is innocent.
Finally they decided to tell their real names and personalities and were with Sirius after going through usual procedure among the elders (who were looking at them with a mixture of angriness and happiness) before being announced innocent. All they had to do now is catch Pettigrew and prove to the world.
"I am Fred Weasley" said a twin changing to his real form with red hair
"And I am George Weasley" said the other doing the same
"I am Hermione Granger" said Jane following the order
"I am ..." started James but was interrupted by Jane, no Hermione.
"Harry Potter"
After shock passed through everyone other than Hermione, Sirius launched Harry in a huge hug saying he was sorry for leaving him alone and that he would take care of him from now.
"You are..." said Fred
"Harry Potter. Should have..." said George
"...known with all skills..."
"...you were displaying"
"Alright, stop you two. So, now we need to find Pettigrew or a rat without a toe" said Harry
Suddenly they heard a gasp from twins.
"We know where he is" said two of them together
"He is now at Hogwarts as Charlie Weasley's pet"
"I will ... " started Sirius getting up
"NO, we will take care of it. Don't worry" interrupted Merlin before turning to Dan who nodded and took off.
After arguing with Merlin that he wanted to be there with Sirius now that he will be declared innocent once Ministry know about Pettigrew, was on his way to his room after being picked up by Dursleys at school. He chuckled to himself as he thought how they didn't know what he does after going to school.
He opened his door to find someone already there. He moved his hand to take his wand out, but he couldn't. He heard the person say
"OBLIVIATE"
AN: I can't believe I did that, but what can I say, something bad has to happen. Now should I continue writing with Harry's perspective or a chapter with general view.
Panther is not Harry's animagus form. It is different. I decided to give twins two forms, Eagle and Fox. And Hermione's form is Lion.
