Chapter 9

Harry looked at the file that Sebastian had brought him. The plain brown folder sat on his desk, waiting for him to open it. Finally, he reached over and opened the folder. He stared at the words that were written upon the first bit of parchment.

Warrant of Execution

Name of Prisoner: Black, Sirius Orion
Prisoner ID: Unlisted
Reason for Execution: Escaped from Azkaban
Trial Date: Unlisted
Signed: Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic
Co-Signed: Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary

Harry frowned as he picked up the parchment. "We knew that Sirius' trial paperwork was missing or non-existent, but…" His frown deepened as he stared at Dolores Umbridge's signature. "I don't believe that she's allowed to co-sign such a document. Shouldn't it be the head of the Department of Law Enforcement that does so?" He then looked up and saw his study door open. In walked Sebastian and Sirius. Harry stared at the two, watching as Sirius looked around his butler.

Sirius stepped around Sebastian and made his way over to Harry's desk. "What do you have there?" Harry closed the file before the nosy man could look at it. His eye then focused on Sebastian. The man had begun to serve tea.

Harry took the tea from Sebastian. "This is a report that I received about the Potter investments." He took a sip of his tea. Sirius frowned.

Ciel cleared his throat. 'It's quite obvious that he doesn't believe you.' Harry didn't bother to respond to the statement.

Sirius went and sat in the chair across from Harry. "Well, It's good that you're keeping up with the family's investments. Your father would be proud of you." He smiled at Harry.

It took a moment, but Harry gathered his thoughts and cleared his throat. "Yes, well, that's nice to hear." He sipped his tea and looked at Sirius once again. "Is there something that I can do for you, Sirius?" He didn't take his eye off of Sirius.

Sirius shook his head. "I just wanted to check on you, Harry. You've been busy and I would like to get to know my godson." His attention was entirely focused upon Harry.

Harry nodded. "That's understandable. However, I do have work to do right now, but I'll make sure to be at supper." Sirius frowned, but left the office. Harry watched the man close the door. "I don't think that he believed me." He reopened the folder and looked at the next piece of parchment. There were two sentences written on the parchment. Those sentences were: Remus Lupin, Best friend to Sirius Black. He knows more than he let's on. Harry looked at Sebastian.

Sebastian didn't move a muscle. "I will ensure that he doesn't bother you, my lord." He then watched Harry for a bit longer. "Is something the matter?" He took a step closer to the teen that he was contracted to.

Harry shook his head. "We did find information on a Remus Lupin, didn't we?" He watched as Sebastian walked over to one of the filing cabinets and began leafing through the files. Sebastian pulled out a folder and walked over to Harry. The young lord took the file from Sebastian.

Harry opened the file and began to scan through the information that they had. Sebastian took Harry's cup. "What we know about Remus Lupin is that he's a recluse and attended Hogwarts with your parents. He was a friend of your father. Other sources that I have found say that he's a werewolf and has difficulty keeping a job. Many believe that he may have been in league with Sirius Black, but that was never proven." Sebastian continued to clean the office as he spoke.

Harry set the file down. "The information that the person found for us mentioned a Remus Lupin in general. The only thing that it said was that he was Sirius Black's best friend. I wonder…" Harry closed the file that he had been skimming.

Sebastian stopped moving and watched his master. "Is there something that you wish for me to do, my lord?" Harry looked at him and laced his fingers together.

He shook his head. "I need time to think, Sebastian. However, I believe that we need to bring this Lupin here. I feel that he may be invaluable. I could also use his friendship with my father as a way to make him cooperate with us if necessary." He let his eye focus on Sebastian. The demon's lips formed into a smile.

Sebastian bowed. "I shall retrieve him, my lord." He then walked out and left Harry alone. Closing his eyes, Harry listened to the silence that surrounded him and fell asleep.
