June arrived in the Great Hall with her head held high, she didn't want anyone to think anything was off with her, she didn't want to show how incredibly nervous and excited she was.

She sat at the Professors table again, as she had done at Christmas, between Snape and Remus. Remus looked nervous as well, and Snape looked cool as a cucumber. All three had a much smaller breakfast then they normally would have, Remus less then the other two. Once June was finished picking at her porridge and Snape finished his tea and toast, Remus got up and declared that he would be in the Hall. June got up to follow him almost immediately, and Severus got up after a moment after a sharp look from Minerva.

They left the castle via the Floo in Dumbledore's office at 9 am sharp; the Floo took them directly to the dock where a boat was waiting. The dock was grey, the sky, the water, even the man in the boat they were boarding was a sad, depressing grey. It made her feel pink, as she and her companions were the only things not grey. As they started out, she could see Azkaban in the distance, a small gagged blemish in the distance.

The boat ride did take exactly one hour, even with the boat being propelled by magic, the man couldn't make it go any faster, in fact it went slower the closer they got to the building, like the man controlling the spell really didn't want to get to close. She couldn't blame him, from first seeing the deep grey of their location, June had started to feel sad, lost and tired but now that they were close, she felt cold, her hands were shaking, and everyone could see their breath.

Once they reached the dock on the island which Azkaban sat on, Severus cast warming charms over them all, and Remus handed June a small piece of chocolate. She ate it knowing it takes the sad, hopeless feeling away, and it helped, a little.

The trio made their way up a long flight of stairs, to the only door on the outside of the building. They had their wands checked and a body scan, and then were lead to the meeting room. They went to an elevator, up six floors to the solitary confinement, life sentence floor, also referred to as the Death Eater floor, as the use of The Unforgivables or the presence of a certain tattoo on your left arm are the only ways to get to this floor. There were only two floors above this one, the one where they kept the people who needed to be kissed, and the storage area. Each floor had a meeting room, with different spells and protections depending on the danger level involved in visiting. The meeting room looked like someone had seen a muggle movie and adapted it to fit magical means. It was a small room with a clear wall in the middle, apparently sound could get through, but nothing else. Once the three were seated they went to retrieve the convict.

It was about a 5 minute wait, before he walked through the door on the other side of the wall.

What they told him, June and no idea, but the look on his face was so full of hope, that she knew she this meeting would change her life.

He looked horrible. His clothes were grey and torn, his hair was long, matted and dirty and his hands were bound. She was very thankful that the clear wall kept smell out; as she was sure he'd smell terrible. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes found June. When their eyes met, she could see the hope, the life in this man who was responsible for the death of her parents. Then he saw Remus. Remus was sitting in a chair, hunched over, refusing to look up. June was afraid this was going to turn out horribly wrong, until Black walked all the way to the wall, placed his hand on the wall, and said one word.

"Moony?"

That one word got him to look up. The pain in both mans eyes was almost tangible, and the pain in Sirius' eyes doubled when Remus left the room.

June was walking slowly to the wall, Sirius had returned his gaze to her, when a slight movement behind her caught his attention, and hate took over his eyes. Snape came up behind her; placing his hand on her shoulder, right over her Slytherin crest and spoke his voice low.

"Would you like me to stay? Or do you want to speak with him alone?"

Taking her eyes off the man growling at her Head of House, she looked Snape in the eyes, he was worried. "Alone. I'll be fine. I'll let you know if something happens."

With a nod, her turned and left.

June walked the rest of the way to the wall, as soon as Snape had gone, Sirius had calmed.

"Hello." June said, suddenly beyond nervous.

He looked her up and down, put his hand to the glass and said "Juniper."

June smiled, "it's June, please. Do you know how long it's been?"

Sirius was smiling, slightly, as he nodded, "10 years. You just started Hogwarts." his eyes flicked to her crest, his smile disappeared, "a Slytherin."

June nodded. "I was raised by mum's sister, Petunia." Sirius growled lightly

"You weren't supposed to go to her; Lily didn't want you to have to deal with her."

June's eyes narrowed. "My mum probably wanted to raise me herself, my dad too. And if not them-"

"Me." Sirius finished for her. "I am sorry."

June looked him in the eye. "For betraying my parents? Or for getting caught murdering Peter and those muggles?"

Hate flashed in his eyes again, and he growled low as he said, "I did NOT betray James! I would NEVER betray him!"

June held up a hand. "I need you to tell me the story. I've heard what happened, and I've recently come into possession of an interesting diary and I believe you. But I need everyone else to believe you, I need you to tell me the story, then I need you to say it again, under Professor Snape's truth serum, after I report what you tell me to Professor Dumbledore." June looked down at her hands, "my mother, in her diary, seemed quite confident in her regard for you as my father's best friend, and Remus still seems to not believe you did what you did. There is also a lot I have pieced together, from the diary which I want to see if it fits with your story. So please if you will, tell me what happened! Tell me the truth."

And so he started. For 45 minutes he spoke, uninterrupted, of the night and the choices surrounding what happened, why and how. At the hour mark, when Remus' turn was supposed to start, there was a knock on the door. Sirius had just finished detailing the Animagus transformation for her as to how Peter had escaped him. She held up her hand and opened the door.

Snape stood there. "Are you almost done?"

June looked back at her Godfather; the one she honestly thought was innocent at this point and answered no. "Does Remus want his turn? Does he have questions? I think he could hear the rest of mine."

Snape sneered, "Lupin does not want his turn and he has opted to leave as soon as you are finished."

June looked back at Sirius again, "give me another half hour, then send in Remus. I want to speak with him." And she closed the door.

Severus scowled as he went to deliver the message.

It only took another ten minutes for Sirius to finish the story, and she told him that Remus should be coming in about 20.

"Is there anything you want to know about me or life outside this place?" June asked, figuring he had answered all her questions; she might as well answer some of his.

"Do you like Hogwarts? Do you play Quiddich? Who are your friends? Are the Dursley's treating you good? How did you get into Slytherin?" June had to put her hand up for him to stop. She told him about the Dursleys, Hogwarts, the Quiddich team, and she was just starting to explain how she "could possibly be friends with that slimy Malfoy and the rest of the Death Eater spawn" and why she doesn't spend more time with "the Longbottom boy" and the "bookworm" when the door opened and Remus was practically pushed through. Snape was smirking on the other side as he closed the door.

June ran up to Remus grabbed his hand and started talking really fast.

"Remus! We had it all wrong! He's completely innocent! Well, not completely he blames himself for the change in Secret Keepers and he did intend to kill Peter that day, but its not how it looked and with a little work we could probably get him out of here, and maybe Dumbledore would let me live with him. But of course I'd have to visit Dud every once in awhile. I don't know what he'd do without me there; he was so looking forward to the summer, so we can talk about magic more. Do you think Professor Snape would donate some truth serum for an official interrogation? Did you know they never had a real trial for Sirius? And he'll have to get Registered, soon too if we want him out of here for good. We should probably get Professor Dumbledore down here; maybe he could bring a Ministry official. I could do that while you two talk!" June pulled Remus into the chair she had put next to the wall and started heading for the door.

"June!" she stopped and turned, "how do you know that you can believe him? How can you trust him so easily?"

June smiled. "Do you remember that diary you gave me for Christmas? The last two years of school, and the first three years after are well documented, and I noticed it before Lily did, but Peter Pettigrew was not around as much, and seemed distant. He had an odd job that none of you knew what it was, and he was always being called away to random meetings. It sounded to me like he was being called to You-Know-Who, as Draco's dad had told me that one of the major signs for the accused Death Eaters was the sudden and random excuses about why they had to leave. He said it was how the muggle repelling charms are supposed to work." June smiled "his story matches quite well with what I had already come up with, and I really think he's telling the truth. Talk to him Remus you know him better then I do." June's smile widened "I have a Headmaster to call."

June skipped out of the room, went straight to Snape, and asked him to secure a Floo for her to use. They were lead to an office, where she could speak through the Floo, but not travel. After a talk with the Headmaster and a half hour for him to collect a few Ministry officials and a bottle of Veritaserum from Snape's stores, she was heading back to the room that still held Remus and Sirius.

June entered the room as a guard entered the room on Sirius' side, the two were laughing about something, until Sirius caught sight of the guard and his face fell. June walked up to the wall and said happily, "we're going to the Ministry of Magic. We have two portkeys waiting to take us to courtroom 10 in the lower section of the Ministry."

"H-how did you manage that so fast?" Sirius asked incredulously.

June made a curtsy, "I am the Electus and I know the publisher of the Quibbler. If they had not done as I asked, quickly, I am sure I could have had the whole story posted in the Quibbler in a week, if not the Daily Prophet." June smiled, "the first ever interview with the Electus is an honor, I'm sure, and the voting public is far more likely to listen to an 11 year old girl when she has the best Potions Master in the world and his Veritaserum on her side, and Minister Fudge."

Remus looked skeptical, "what does he get out of this arrangement?"

June smiled, "I thank the Minister for releasing my wrongfully accused Godfather in front of all the reporters who are sure to be at the trail, or right outside it."

Sirius looked dumbfounded, "by Merlin, you are a Slytherin."

June did another curtsy, "thank you!"

~*~*~*~

The trial took around two hours. The first hour was mostly spent going over what Sirius was guilty of, testing the Veritaserum, getting Fudge to keep his mouth shut and June explaining why she even thought he may be innocent. The second hour was spent by Sirius telling his story, and the vote of the Wizengamot. Since he didn't have to explain almost everything he said, like he had with June. It only took about a half an hour to tell what the world didn't know. The vote had two parts, due to the testimony, the first was weather Sirius was innocent of the crimes he was put away for to begin with, the murder of 13 muggles and a wizard and the betrayal of James, Lily and June Potter, and whether or not he should do time for being an illegal animagus.

In the end, Sirius was pronounced innocent of all crimes and for the first time in over ten years, Sirius got to hug his precious Goddaughter. He also got compensated for the years of wrongful imprisonment, a job offer in the Auror department, his old job, and a public apology.

The Daily Prophet, delivered to every wizarding household in Britain the next day had a front page picture of Sirius, clean and shaved for the trial, but still in slightly ratty clothes, and June in her pretty dress, the gift from Draco clearly visible on the back of her head, in the middle of a hug as June thanked the Minister for freeing her innocent Godfather so quickly after she discovered that there may have been a mistake. The article that was supposed to be about the trial, was a detailed, revised history of the night Voldemort was brought down by a baby girl, and a few details about the Electus and her current events. It shared that she was making her father proud on the Quiddich team, who she claimed were her best friends the Malfoy heir, the Longbottom heir, and a muggle-born girl named Granger. Juniper's favorite classes were also detailed, her love for Potions. Her excellence in Charms, just like her mother, and her high grades in Defense. Her House was liberally discussed, with an interview from her Head of House, declaring his hope that with the presence of such a "sweet and charming girl" in the House, there would be less discrimination against Slytherins, especially as the court had just determined that a Gryffindor, that didn't come from a long line of Slytherins, had been to blame for the death of 13 Muggles and the betrayal of the Potters.

JPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJPJP

June was sent a ton of fan mail, and congratulations on the release of her Godfather in the days following the trial. As a Slytherin, Severus had expected this and rerouted her mail, not from Gaia, to a store room just to the side of the Great Hall. June spent most of her weekend sorting through it all, it had all been checked for malevolent spells or content, so she knew she was relatively safe, but Snape had a monitoring charm on her anyway, just incase.

Many people sent presents, there were a lot of proposals and offers, made mostly for the future, but one man seemed to think she would appreciate the offer of leaving school and marrying young, never having a care in the world except being his. The article said Slytherin people, not Hufflepuff. A few held condolences, for the loss of her parents and a few said they were friends of her parents, from Hogwarts and after, but there were an awful lot of those, and none matched the names in her mothers diary. She responded to a few, the ones that seemed sincere, or had sent her presents. A few of these she kept, she was Slytherin, as mentioned before, and felt no qualms about accepting these gifts. She didn't keep the extravagant gifts, she sent back every engagement ring and gift that came with a proposal, but she kept any thank you gifts she got. Children sent her drawings and their favorite candies, mothers sent her sweaters and trinkets, and men mostly sent notes. The proposal gifts were astronomical; she was sent jewelry of every kind, clothes, money, brooms, tickets to plays, Quidditch games and events, and a ton of photos. Photos of manors and houses, even a few castles, many pictures of the men sending the requests, some her age or near, some as old as Professor Snape.

When her friends returned on Sunday, after hugs and congratulations, they all moved to the little room to help her with her fan mail. June was working next to Draco; he had this smirk on his face, ever since he got back. Pansy said he'd been smirking the whole train ride. Now, they were pretty much alone, Pansy and Millicent were working across from them, behind a large pile, Blaise and Ted were working in a whole other section with Vince and Greg, and Hermione and Neville were arguing about something at the pile behind them.

"Draco."

"Yes?"

June glanced at him, his smirk had widened slightly. "Why are you smirking like that?"

The smirk drooped a tiny bit. "Like what?"

June put down the letter she had been reading, from another little boy, this one about 10, telling her about how Voldemort affected his family, and stared Draco straight in the eye. "You are feeling superior about something," the smirk dropped a little more. "Did something happen over the holidays?" he shook his head, the smirk getting bigger. "Well I don't know why you feel the need to grin like an idiot, but stop it." She brushed the hair out of her face, and Draco, who had been watching her, let the rest of his smirk fall. June blinked, "that was quick. Are you under a spell?"

"Where did you get that?" Draco asked, pointing to the charm bracelet on her wrist.

"It was a Christmas gift, why?" June asked, confused.

"You were wearing it in the photo on the Daily Prophet, is it special?"

June looked down at the bracelet on her wrist. She hadn't taken it off since she got it; she liked the slight jingle the two charms made when they hit each other while she walked. "It is special. It means a lot to me, like my necklace, and I haven't taken it off since Christmas."

Draco scowled a little, "did Longbottom give it to you?"

June laughed a little, "no, of course not. The specialness of this charm has nothing to do with who gave it to me; it's just that I've always wanted one." June put her hands in her lap and turned to face Draco fully. "When I was in Muggle School, a lot of the girls had these, they get them when they're really young, and your parents and friends add charms to them at special occasions, like birthdays, or when you declare a best friend. Some people get one when they get a new pet, or a new hobby, or join a sport. People get new charms fro new fads, like TV shows, or popular activities. Some girls have a "daddy's girl" charm, or rainbows, cats and dogs, different sayings and different signs. Its just, one of those things I missed out on, because my uncle wouldn't out up the money to get me a bracelet or the charms to go on it."

Draco was looking at the charms on her wrist. "So, who got you this? Was it your parents' friend, Lupin? Did he hear it from one of your stories?"

June laughed again. "You seem to think I tell him everything! No, this was from my cousin; he saved up his pocket money all year to get me this. He always knew how much I wanted one, how jealous I was of the other girls for having them."

Draco looked incredulous, "you, jealous? What do you have to be jealous of them for? They don't have magic, they're not famous, and you have the sole possession of the Potter fortune! You could get yourself a hundred of these little things!"

June smiled, "but it means more, him having sacrificed a little to get it for me. I know he didn't have to sacrifice much, he gets anything he asks for, but he also remembered."

Draco was looking at his own hands, sitting in his lap. "So, did you like the hair barrette I sent you?"

June looked up, surprised at the sudden change of topic, "of course I do! I love it, its beautiful!" she paused, "wait, I thought you said your mom got it for me?"

A light pink spread across Draco's cheeks, his eyes resolutely on his hands. "Well, she helped me pick it out, and I didn't want you to think I was, you know, a sissy or something, picking out hair things. And I thought you liked it, since you wore it to your Godfathers trial," Draco glanced up through his eye lashes at her "it was a good picture of you."

June smiled. "thank you."

They returned to their task, and were going at it for about five minutes before…

"It's not a bad thing, you know. Being able to pick out jewelry." June said tossing a letter into the junk pile, "it might come in handy later, when you're trying to get a date or something." She smiled at him, "I'll be happy to help you, when the time comes, or be your test subject until you find a girl you like." She grabbed a small box that had rolled off the top of the pile. "Who knows, maybe I'll be able to tell if she likes you before you spend a lot of time on her."

Draco stared at her for a minute, then nodded and went back to his pile.

After another 10 minutes a yell was issued from across the room.

"I can't TAKE any more of this!" Pansy yelled "June! We need a break! The rest can stuff it! If they had really wanted to get to you they would have sent you all this yesterday!"

June smiled as she stood. "Yeah, maybe I'll let the house-elves to the rest, they wanted to in the first place. I'll write up a typical response and have them deliver the stuff I deem keepers to my rooms."

Blaise held up a small stack of drawings she had gotten out of the letters she read, "Are you really going to hang up all of these?"

"Of course not!" June said, "Do you realize how many of those I have? I could wallpaper our room four times with them! But I will save them all. I have a special place in my trunk where I'm putting them after I shrink them."

They spent the rest of their Sunday comparing homework and having a snowball fight with the layer of snow on the east side of the castle; near the forest it was completely untouched.

~*~*~*~

Monday morning started the same as it always did. June was up first, her roommates were grousing about the hour they had to be up, and June was adjusting her clothes to fit her mood.

"What's that?" Pansy asked as she pulled her robes on over her uniform.

"This is a dress." June said as she adjusted the color, she was thinking a sea green today…

"I know that!" Pansy said with a roll of her eyes, "did you buy a dress just so you could adjust it, or did you find a new spell over the holidays?"

June smiled at her over her shoulder as she tied a thick white ribbon around her waist. "I found another book, there's a spell to combine your clothes. I think it was originally used to combine boots to pants, to keep things from going in your shoes, or up your pants, but it works well to combine shirts and skirts, into a simple dress."

"You are way too interested in your clothes" Blaise said as she tied her hair up in a ponytail.

June smiled, and waved her wand around her ponytail and said "Locke weiblich" and her straight hair instantly turned into a mass of soft curls.

"Hey! I didn't ask you to do that!?" Blaise exclaimed as she inspected her new curls.

"Was that Germen?" Millicent asked as she crawled out from under her bead, left shoe in hand.

June smiled, "I found it in a hair care book, modern."

Blaise, pulling on the curls coming from her green scrunchie, asked "how long does this last? They're not going to go flat in Defence are they? And why don't you use your little spells to fix your hair! Mine was perfectly straight a second ago!" she threw a glare over her shoulder, "and neat."

June smiled, "the spell will last ten hours unless I say the counter, and I like my hair the way it is!" as she used a spell to twist the first part f her hair into a bun on the back of her head, held in place by the silver peacock feather barrette Draco had gotten for her.

"That's pretty." Millicent said, looking at her barrette.

"Thank you, it was Draco's Christmas gift to me, his mom found it." If Draco's trying to save face, might as well not blow his cover. Let him tell them if he wants.

As the group walked to breakfast, June was helping Blaise with a wand movement for Transfiguration and Pansy pulled Draco to the side of the group.

"Draco dear that was a very pretty barrette you gave to June for Christmas." Pansy said sweetly.

Draco grunted.

"She said your mother picked it out for her, isn't it odd that your mother got something for June, something that looks so expensive, and something that looks so Malfoy." Pansy gripped his arm a little tighter "I mean, peacock feathers? And white too!" Pansy looked at him out of the corner of her eye "one might think you were staking your claim or something."

Draco raised his chin slightly "I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about Pansy. Since when are Malfoy's openly associated with peacocks?"

Pansy's glare intensified, "since your father purchased 100 rare white peacocks for your mother on their 20th anniversary to roam around your property." Pansy sniffed "I'm surprised June didn't make the connection, she was there for a few days wasn't she?"

Draco stared ahead "she never actually saw any of the peacocks; they stay in the front of the house, and only during the day. I don't know what the big fuss is, it was just a present."

Pansy's grip tightened, "I recall getting a book from you this Christmas."

"So did she." Draco said. "My mother sent her the hair clip, as June told you. Besides, it's not like it's even her favorite gift."

Pansy looked at Draco's face, startled. "That barrette must be hand crafted out of pure platinum, what could she have possibly gotten that means more to her!?"

Draco smiled slightly, "the silver plated charm bracelet she wears everyday, with two charms, one of her Snowy Owl Gaia, and one of a Juniper flower, that looks exactly like the flowers on her necklace."

Pansy's piggish nose wrinkled. "And this is the girl who gets all your attention? Is it because she's a Potter? The name, the light status, would certainly help clear your name, as it has everyone she's associated with, but do you really think, especially now that her Godfather is out, that you have any sort of chance?" Pansy flicked her hair over her shoulder "I mean, isn't your mother a Black? Wouldn't Sirius tell her all about your Aunt Bella in Azkaban? I mean, your family is as dark as it can get, and what if the Dark Lord returns?"

"PANSY!" Draco hissed "as it stands, she doesn't like me that way anyway, so far she's far more into the Longbottom boy then me! The hair barrette is from my mother, she thought it would look good in her hair, as yours is shoulder length, you can't do as much with it. Forming a connection with the last Potter is not only desirable it's a good idea, because, what if the Dark Lord comes back? What if we decide we don't want to join him? What if she is the only one who will believe and protect us? She is a savior, even if I liked her, if I wanted her to read more into the hair clip then she did, if I want more then friendship, it doesn't matter. My mother gave her the clip, as a strategy in case something happens."

They had made it to the Great Hall, their friend's way ahead of them. June called back, "hey you two! What's taking you so long?"

Blaise smirked, "get a room!"

"Save it for the honeymoon!" Ted called out as he entered the Hall for breakfast. The rest laughed as they followed.

Pansy smiled. "Your right she didn't even look worried, looks like you're stuck with me, Draco."

Draco sighed. Not bloody likely, if I have anything to do with it. "Whatever you say Pansy."

~*~*~

That night, June was playing with her invisibility cloak, wandering the halls. It was before curfew, so she wasn't breaking any rules; she just wanted to… test it out.

She was following a series of paintings, depicting different Dark Age scenes, when she looked away and realized she didn't recognize where she was. She tried the nearest door, and it opened. She went inside, just to check it out, it wasn't often you found unlocked doors that had something in them, but she liked this corridor. Perhaps we can set up a secret place to hang out, when the common room gets too noisome.

She was inspecting a few broken desks, when she noticed it. A mirror.

June walked toward it, slowly. There was an inscription, around the edge of the mirror frame. 'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi'.

"Erised" June whispered. She stepped in front of the mirror looking straight into her own eyes. There, standing behind her where her parents. She would recognize them anywhere. And there with them, people who also looked like them and her. Her family. The Potters, maybe even a few Evens'. She didn't see her Aunt or her cousin, but there were children, other children. A little boy next to her. He looked like a clone of her father. And her mother Lily was holding a baby. They both smiled at her, the little boy reaching up to take her hand.

"My family." June said, feeling tears come to her eyes. "What should have been. Two siblings, parents." She looked back at her own reflection; she was smiling in the mirror. June felt happy but so, so sad. She sat down on the dirty, dusty floor wrapping her invisibility cloak around her shoulders, and cried. She sat there not looking at the mirror, for a half an hour, crying. When her tears had stopped. She stood up and tried one more time to look in the mirror. Her family smiled back at her. Her heart gave a heavy lurch. She put the cloak back over herself and headed out of the room. I hope I never see that mirror again. The pain, the longing, it's too hard, it's too much. I can't, I want to sit in that room forever, pretend like they're there, like it's all real, like it all could be real. June shook her head as she felt the tears well up in her eyes again. I hope I never see that mirror again.

JPJPJPJP

Albus watched her leave the room, tears still in her eyes. I doubt she'll be back, maybe I should just move it now…

The spell she used to curl Blaise's hair is basically "feminine curls" in German. ^_^ I thought it sounded pretty.

^_^ and THAT was chapter 10! I'm so glad to finally have 10 chapters!!! I hope you liked it, this one has a LOT in it, and I know it feels like the Mirror of Erised was just kind of thrown in there, but I promise it wasn't, she's doing things differently, different time line. But only slightly! Ok, next chapter, more school stuff, and maybe some Quiddich!!! Oh, and Valentines Day, I have started it… and it's a little slow going, not quite sounding how I want it too, so give me a bit, but it is in progress. =_= thank you for your patience!
