Back at Hogwarts Fred had been waiting for Loki to come out when the muggles left the office…with Loki thrown over the woman's shoulder.

"Hey! Where are you taking him?!" Fred shouted, running in front of them with his arms spread wide to try and stop them from taking his new friend but he was just shoved non-too gently to the side.

"Stay out of this, kid." Eyepatch said, barely paying the twin any attention.

"NO! You're kidnapping my friend!" None of the muggles responded just continued walking down the corridor. Fred was going to chase after them if it wasn't for Dumbledore coming out of his office.

"Let them be, Mr Weasley, I'm sure Mr Loki will return in time." Ten minutes of arguing with the headmaster about letting Loki be taken from the school later Professor McGonagall came hurrying around the corner.

"What is going on, Albus, why is one of the students being taken away from the school." Several students (mostly his Ravenclaw classmates) followed looking very upset.

"Is Loki leaving forever?"

"He can't do that, he said he'd help me with Charms."

"Where's Loki going, sir?"

"Was that Iron Man? That looked like Iron Man."

"What's Iron Man?"

Dumbledore waited patiently for the chatter to die down before he spoke, "Mr Loki will be leaving us for an unspecified amount of time while he visits his family." Ignoring the shouts of protest Dumbledore walked back into his office, "And Minerva, please fetch Remus for me, there is something important to tell him if he hasn't found out already."

Fred gave up trying to get back into Dumbledore's office once again and went back to the Hospital Wing. George was awake and having his skin checked, it was decided he would be okay to go without bandages for now but "Stay away from hard food and any twinge of pain you come right back" he was warned by the matron.

"So did Lokes reappear?" George asked, grin slipping off his face when he saw his twin's expression, "Did he not show up?"

"No he showed up, I think he proved that Sirius Black was innocent." George stopped walking, obviously waiting for his brother to explain, so he did. "Wait. So you're telling me the rat that slept on our brothers bed was a full grown man, the same man that had been apparently not been killed by Sirius Black." Fred nodded, "and then the muggles that had been stood in the room just up and kidnapped Loki." Another nod, "Well, how do we get him back?"

"I don't know! I don't even know where they could be."

"America, probably." A passing boy said, he was a muggleborn student in the twin's year and would always be discussing 'superheroes' with other students who grew up in the muggle world, even Harry and Hermione joined in a couple of the conversations, "I don't recognise all of them but the man with the goatee was definitely Tony Stark. He's a billionaire that lives in America and one of the Avengers."

"How do we get to America?!" the twins whined, there went their plans of using the floo network, it was a sketchy plan anyway since they were muggles and probably didn't have a floo fireplace. The twins said thanks to the classmate and went back to the Gryffindor common room to scheme.

Meanwhile, Remus Lupin was in a state of shock.

Sirius was innocent. He had believed one of his best friends was capable of mass murder. He had thought Sirius had killed Peter. He thought Sirius had betrayed Lily and James.

But Sirius was innocent and Peter was alive, even if he was being questioned with a possible trip to Azakaban in the future. Did that mean Sirius did not betray his friends?

"I think I need a moment to my thoughts, sir." Lupin said, full intention of going to find Sirius.

"I suggest stopping for a bite to eat," Dumbledore said before dismissing Lupin.

The DADA professor made his way down to the kitchens quickly, asking the elves to get him a bag of food to take with him before he went outside into the snow. It was still snowing but nowhere near the storm that was going on yesterday, you still make out Loki's footprints through the snow.

Of course Sirius was in the Shrieking Shack, so few people knew about the secret tunnel that Sirius would be able to get into the castle easily, add on the fact that nobody knew about the man being an animagus Sirius could travel extremely easily for a mass murderer (Remus still thinks that Dumbledore knows everything).

"Sirius! I know you're in here!" Lupin shouted as he climbed out of the tunnel into the dusty building and was met by a large crash. Lupin ran up the stairs and was met with the sight of a daze Sirius lying on the floor (feet still on the bed) looking very perplexed.

"Remus?"

"Get up you oath." Sirius scrambled to his feet, kicking up the dust on the floor as he did so and stood startled as Lupin brought him into a hug.

"I assume the kid explained everything." Sirius laughed, as they broke apart and had a bag forced into his hands, "where is the kid anyway, he said he would be the one bringing me food."

"He brought Peter straight to Dumbledore who then told me what happened. Loki has been taken off premises. Thanks for looking after him last night, he'd had a nasty run in with dementors." Lupin explained, sitting on the dishevelled bed and looking sorrowfully at the claw marks resting carved into everything.

"It wasn't cos of me, was it?"

"No, something else, no one's really sure. Sirius, what happened to Lily and James?"

Lupin and Sirius spent a large amount of time talking that morning, they were talking so long that lunch rolled right in to dinner and it was only when Lupin's stomach growled that he decided to go back to Hogwarts, friendship rekindled and stories made straight. Lupin had to explain to Sirius that walking into Hogwarts was a bad idea right now as was hunting down the people that had taken Loki, he had just escaped one prison there was no reason to be sent back.

The next day the Daily Prophet ran the headline; 'Black Innocent; the truth behind the murder of twelve muggles' which was still full of rumours and wrong facts which was to be expected of the Daily Prophet but it at least allowed Sirius to re-enter Hogwarts in the middle of the day.

Sirius was overjoyed to meet his Godchild properly (this time not almost getting him run over by a magical bus) even if Harry found it slightly awkward at first. Harry was overjoyed when Sirius said he could live with him from now on and that he would never have to see the Dursley's again…at least, after he got the house cleaned up ("Reeeemuuussss, help me cleeeaannn" "Not a chance" "Whhhhhyyyyyyyy?").
