Chapter 10
The next days, there was Sirius' public trial and Peter's trial. He was found innocent of all charges but fined for being an unregistered animagus. He was awarded a million dollars for each year he was wrongly incarcerated making him 13 million dollars richer. He was reinstated in the Wizengamot and his status as Head of Black family.
The prophet was full of the story. SIRIUS BLACK INNOCENT. PETER PETTIGREW FOUND ALIVE. The full story was printed with the images of Peter. Everyone now knew and felt sorry for Sirius. Being known as a vicious murderer for something you didn't do, have the one who did it free and awarded an order of Merlin!
Amy, Jen and Hermione were awarded trophies for uncovering the truth and traitor.
The next day, it was announced Pettigrew had escaped from his holding cell while waiting to be transported to Azkaban. Hit wizards were looking for him but a rat no matter how much you know him, was hard to find.
Amy was so angry. How dare he think he had the right to freedom. She wondered where he had gone to. She was going to rip that rat limp from limp when she caught him.
At least Sirius was free and the trial had been done. Had he escaped before then… she refused to think what would have happened to Sirius. He would probably be dead.
Lupin had resigned. Someone had let it slip that he was a werewolf and that someone, Amy knew that someone was a greasy git named Snape and Amy hated him even more for it.
THE THIRD HUCROX SLYTHERIN LOCKET 18 JUNE
Amy was confused when she was called to the headmaster's office. She said the password and she was let it. She found Dumbledore with an ugly looking locket. "I am sure you are wondering why I called you."
Amy nodded.
"I found another hucrox."
"That locket? Where did you get it?" asked Amy.
"You godfather was clearing his ancestral home. The Blacks were known as a very dark family so naturally they had dark objects in their homes. I told Mr. Black to place them in a trunk and bring them here and I found this. The locket."
Amy was so happy and ecstatic. they had found another hucrox! Dumbledore took out Godric's sowrd and Amy used it to stab the hucrox not listening to the hucrox's taunting words. There was an inhuman scream before it was destroyed.
"How many did this man make? This is inhuman."
END OF YEAR FEAST 20 JUNE
The end of year feast was amazing. They got their reports. Amy was surprised to see her potions grade which was 3rd in class after Hermione and maybe Malfoy. She was good in potions but she thought Snape would fail her after she had told him off.
Ever since Amy had told him off, he had turned hostile towards them and his hatred for the 3 girls had increased but something had changed. Despite his hate, he now ignored them as if they didn't exist which was good for them.
He also had a haunted look on him which made her feel sorry for him. Well 'almost.'
The only sad thing was since Sirius' rescue, he had sent one letter and that was it. He was quiet and Amy had no idea what was going on. She was sad that maybe he wanted nothing to do with her despite what he had said.
Awards were given and Hermione got her best academic student shield and Amy the best seeker. It was a great end to the year.
TRAIN RIDE AND PLATFORM 20 JUNE 2004
Closing day came and the 3 friends went and sat in a compartment. "Hey guys, there is going to be a Quidditch World Cup during the summer. You should all come. Dad usually gets some tickets from work." said Jen and they all agreed excited.
They played games, got some snacks and had some fun but all the while, Amy was dreading having to go to the Dusleys. When the train stopped, they took their things out and left the train.
Amy saw the Weasleys first and we all went to great them. As usual Amy got the suffocating hugs from Mrs. Weasley.
She then saw the Grangers. Hermione ran to her parents and hugged them making Amy felt a pang of loss before she heard, "Don't I get a hug of my own?"
That was when Amy saw, "Sirius!"
Sirius looked so healthy and handsome a far cry from the Sirius in the shack. He was in casual jeans and a shirt. His hair was let down and he looked good. She lunged myself at him and didn't want to let go then she began beating his chest.
"Hey what is that for?"
"For making me worry and not writing a letter!" she said before a voice said, "Hey, it's my turn now! I need a hug too you know."
Amy let go of Sirius and went and lunged at a laughing Remus. He was looking really nice in nice fitting clothes on his slender frame and looked happy. Sirius was all full of smiles.
"Whose is that for?" Amy asked looking at an owl in a cage that Sirius had.
"Oh this is for Jen to replace Scabbers. Let me go and give her."
Sirius had met the Grangers and had been talking to them while waiting for the train. He went to talk the Weasleys then he handed an ecstatic Jen the owl.
"Why didn't you write or talk to me?" Amy asked as they got off the platform.
"I have a surprise for you." he said leading her to a car. She looked at Remus who shrugged and they got into the car.
"Well let's go then." said Sirius and they were soon off.
There it is! Hope you enjoyed this version.
So the diary, locket and ring have been found. 3 found 3 to go!
To clear some confusion, Amy is not a hucrox. Voldemort merely passed some of his powers but not his soul thus she was a psalmouth. Maybe even her telekinesis came from Voldemort since he had that power too. who knows.
Thank you all for reading.
