Like I've said, I didn't kill Sirius off in when opposites attract, nor do I plan on killing him off.

Chapter 9 – A visit to Sirius
Fred and George apparated to number 12 Grimmauld Place the following evening while Lee and Verity worked in the shop with the help of Alicia Spinnet. Sirius greeted the twins at the door with a wide grin plastered on his face at the sight of the them.

"Boy am I glad to see you two. This place was boring without the pair of you around." Sirius chirped ushering the twins into the living room.

"Are you alone?" Fred wondered.

"No, Lupin is upstairs sleeping, had a bad day yesterday and last night so is getting some well-deserved rest." Sirius explained.

"How is the order going? Any news?" George asked making casual conversation.

"Not as well as we'd like it to be going. We've rounded up quite a few new members though, well Kingsley and Mad Eye have as I've been cooked up in here twiddling my thumbs and being extremely bored." Sirius answered. "There's not really much news at the moment, we do know that Voldemort is trying to round up as many followers as possible and then there's all those raids and attacks but that's about it. Actually we've been planning something."

Fred and George's eyes lit up and this.

"What?" They asked in unison.

"Well Kingsley and Mad Eye have been planning my capture and how they'll get me tested by the Ministry. They want to do it so I won't have to go anywhere near dementors." Sirius answered.

"How will that work though? Surely if you were to be captured you'd get sent back to Azkaban or get the kiss?" Fred questioned.

"Well the idea is that Kingsley will be the one to catch me then he'll take me to the Ministry and plead them to give me a proper trial using the strongest truth potion." Sirius answered.

"And what happens if they find you guilty?" George asked.

"We haven't got to that part yet. We're hopeful that they will see that I was innocent all these years but it's going to be hard because I think I'm the last of the Ministry's worries at this moment in time." Sirius explained.

"I just want to be a free man, to be able to walk down the street without having to hide away or be in disguise and it there's a war I want to be able to fight this time along with the order and be there for Harry." Fred and George understood what Sirius wanted.

"So anyway boys, what pleasure do I owe this visit?" Sirius asked the twins.

"Well we wanted your help actually. George and I were talking last night about the future and what would happen if we end up getting attacked at the shop." Fred began explaining.

"And this is where you come in. We are looking for somewhere safe that we could keep an extra supply of our stock and ingredients so that if we do have to flee we can continue working on products." George added.

"And we were wondering if you'd allow us to keep our secret stash here in our old room because Mum would never allow us to keep it at the burrow." Fred continued.

"Plus would we be able to come here if we did need to flee? Use this as a safe house?" George asked.

"Of course you can boys. You know I'd love to give you a helping hand. You are more than welcome to come here anytime and if you need any help with making stuff then I'd be more than willing." Sirius grinned, clearly excited about the prospect of helping the twins.

"What all would you need me to do?" he wondered.

"Well we'll need to get in our supplies and try and duplicate most of our products. We'll also duplicate our ingredients book too so if you want to help make some of our stuff, you can." Fred explained.

"Then we'll need to put some sort of a spell on everything to make sure Kretcher doesn't start poking around it all." George added.

"Don't worry I shall see to Kretcher. I'll put a spell on the room door so that only we and maybe Lupin can get into it." Sirius replied. "Is there anything else you need me to do?"

"I think that's everything at the moment. Do you want to come down to the shop tomorrow and we'll get you started?" Fred asked.

"Yes sure. I'll be glad to get out of here. I've got a good stash of polyjuice potion thanks to Mad Eye, hairs and all." Sirius grinned proudly.

"Right then Sirius, we shall be seeing you tomorrow. Thanks so much for agreeing to help us out." Fred chirped shaking Sirius' hand.

"Yeah thanks Sirius, we appreciate it." George added.

"It's no problem at all. I'm looking forward to it." Sirius chirped.

so what do you think of the idea of Sirius being free? do you think it would work out? Also what about him helping the twins? I thought he wouldn't mind having the boys around and would be glad to help them and let them use his house.
