Students got used to a tiny black kitten roaming the halls very quickly. Harry had zero care about the Gryffindor/Slytherin rivalry and during breakfast it was either he was curled up in cat form on his mother's hat or sitting at the Slytherin table, laughing and eating. Today was no different. The transfiguration professor came in, as stern as ever, but the effect was lost due to Harry stretching on her hat's rim and yawning, as if he'd just woken up.

Harry hopped off his mother's hat and changed form mid-air into a 6 year old messy, black haired boy with green eyes and black glasses. His white shirt, to nobody's surprise, was crumpled like it had been through a tornado, and his jeans were half-way rolled to his knees. He was also wearing no shoes, which exasperated just about the entire staff.

Harry peeked into the infirmary, carrying a plate of scrambled eggs, bread, and butter, with a square of toast in his mouth. "Mam?" he called, taking the toast out of his mouth and pushing his glasses up. Poppy had been working hard lately because quidditch practices had just started, which also meant that Charlie was on one of the beds with a broken leg. "Hi Charlie!" he scampered over to him, careful not to tip the plate over. Digging under the bed to find a paper plate, he separated the food and gave it to the Keeper, just as Poppy bustled out of her office. "Hi mam!" he held up the plate for her, then changed back into his animagus form and hopped onto the chair, green eyes, his animagus mark, eyeing Charlie as he ate. If Poppy was a stickler for rules, Harry was even more firm about eating, to the point where anyone who crossed his path in the Great hall would be shoved a piece of toast, and be watched over, even if they'd just ate.

Harry, ever since finding out that he'd almost gone to the Dursely's, had an extreme obsession with justice. Which was why, when he was 9, when someone on the streets had accidentally let loose about Sirius Black without knowing who he was, he had a strange feeling about it. Of course, the stranger had been given a stern talking to, but it was too late. The 9 year old may not know much about politics, but the fact that the man hadn't been given a trial made him feel all weird inside. Minerva and Poppy didn't do anything. They knew that when Harry had a bad feeling about something, it was best just to let him carry on with his findings. He was usually correct anyways.

"Hey Percy, come and look at this," Harry called over his shoulder as he flipped to another page of the thick, technically illegal book on world laws. The 13 year old hopped off the armchair and peered over his shoulder. "The British ministry is the only government that has yet to approve the use of memory-scanning through pensive's during cases. Veritasium has been approved under the 15th Goblin's law (see page 56), but uses in British cases are extremely rare, unlike in India, where all convicts must take the potion before trial (See Chapter 5)," Percy read. "Weird," he mused, standing up to sit on the couch. Harry nodded, rolling over onto his back and staring at the page. "From what I heard, Mr. Black was taken into Azkaban with no trial. The only evidence was the Headmaster saying so and Peter's finger. What I don't get is why didn't they scan the memories of the muggles before erasing them. It's like they don't want Mr. Black to be claimed innocent," Percy nodded. "I agree,"

Harry tapped his quill on the parchment, before dipping it into the ink and writing, Dear Mrs. Bones. My name is Harry Pomfrey, and I am very interested in the government, especially those of America and England. Last week I heard about a man named Sirius Black who was convicted without trial. Here's the evidence:

Albus Dumbledore (the Headmaster of Hogwarts), personally saying that he'd betrayed a family

Peter Pettigrew's finger. No other trace of him was found.

And here's what I found weird about the case

Why didn't the Ministry scan the memories of the muggles (no-majs) before wiping them?

Why has the use of the pensive not been approved by the Ministry for use in cases? They could have easily scanned Mr. Black's head and deemed whether or not he was guilty.

Why did they not use a truth potion on him? He would have been compelled to tell the truth, no matter what, which might have made it easier for the case to continue.

While I do get that Mr. Dumbledore holds a high position, why was his words taken account of, but not the convicts? Mr. Dumbledore could have been wrong, and yet the Ministry accepted his words

I don't know what I should be thinking, but I have a really strange feeling about this case. Will you help me?

Yours, Harry James Pomfrey.

Satisfied, he got up from the floor and peeked into Percy's room. "Can I borrow Hermes for a second?"
