The hospital matron of Hogwarts was able to sway Severus not to abort his baby. Also she got a promise out of him to tell Sirius of his pending fatherhood, but the ex-Auror would never know of his third child with no thanks to the Minister. Fudge managed to arrest Sirius after telling the school Governors that he posed a risk to the students.

Lucius was highly irate that the board met without informing him. Again, Fudge maneuver the Governors into a conference stating that Lucius' involvement with Sirius would cloud his judgment in allowing him to remain at Hogwarts unsupervised. The board didn't even take in the consideration that Sirius would be monitored by Dumbledore.

"You son-of-bitch!" Lucius thundered. "How dare you lock-up an innocent man!"

"I assure you, Lucius, Sirius Black is far from innocent."

"Do you have any idea what you have done?"

"Yes, I'm putting a murderer behind bars."

"Severus will be your enemy for this, Fudge, and you better heed my warning. You are good as dead for your utter stupidity."

"Are you threatening me, Lucius?"

"On the contrary, Minister – I'm just an upstanding law abiding wizard concerned about certain future events."

Lucius made for the door, gripping his silver snake-head cane. "Oh, and by-the-way, if you ever call me by my given name again without permission – rest assured that I have no problem of ripping out your tongue." Lucius smirked. "Good day, Minister."

General Hospital, Muggle London

A nurse walked into a private room to check on one of her many patients. She looked over charts, made notations for this hours round, making sure the IV feed was in place, and then she set about cleaning the room and changing the bed linen.

The patient had yet to wake. Nothing in the way of identification could be found. There was very little the doctor's could do except wait. The police took a report but came back saying that there was no missing person's that matched the patient's description, but with any luck something should turn up soon. They were going to notify the States just in case the patient was a tourist.

Finished with her chore of taking care of her patient; the nurse slid open the blinds to let the warm beams of light in. She collected the old bed sheets and quietly shut the door. She never saw the glazed over hazel orbs open then drift shut again.

"You have to let them go some time," came the low silky tones of his best friend.

The blonde stood erect, smoothing out his trousers. "And what about you, Severus?"

The Potions master smirked swaying a little. "As well as to be expected."

There was a hint of sadness to his voice, but his face portrayed no indifference.
