Chapter 1
Hadrian calmly made his way towards his cell in the ministry. He had just been released from his two week stay in Azkaban. To everyone who saw him, he looked exactly like the same way he did when he was sent to Azkaban. Much to everyone's surprise but little did they know that one of the rings he wore held a semi-permeant glamour charm that hide his real appearance. He was not Harry James Potter. His name was Hadrian Sirius Black, son of Sirius Black and Amelia Bones and Lord to the Most Ancient and Noble House of Black.
Only a select few people knew who he really was and they were, Sirius Black, Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, Mad-Eye Moody and his ex-girlfriend who he had not seen for over three years, Daphne Greengrass. Their relationship ended after she found out that he had become a Death Eater without even wanting to hear his explanation.
From what he heard over the years, she spent most of her time prosecuting Death Eaters where she had managed to become quite successful. So far, she managed to get all the Death Eaters sentenced to go through the veil of death. He was the only high priority DE left and he knew his time was coming.
Amelia Bones never knew of his existence. She had not been in any relationship since the birth of her child who she believed to have died in child birth. Little did she know that he was taken to Potters, to be raised as one of them.
After a minor memory charm placed by Albus Dumbledore on herself and the Potters, they all believed that he was the child of Lord James Potter and Lady Lily Potter. They never realized that he was never a Potter thanks to a glamour charm, that was placed on him. Only Sirius knew who he really was. And now, Amelia Bones was the Minister of Magic who would be presiding over the most famous trial to be held in Wizarding Britain.
Alexander Potter who was Hadrian's younger brother in all but blood was the Boy-Who-Lived. He had killed the Dark Lord after a tiring 3 year war. When it became known that Harry was a Death Eater the entire Wizarding World was shocked. The brother of the Boy-Who-Lived was a Death Eater and had later became Voldemort's right hand man. Nobody knew what had happened to the popular Hogwarts student. They just knew that he excelled on the Dark Side.
The cell door closed behind him once he was in the middle of the cell. Only a few more days he thought and then his misery would be over. He always knew that despite the plan that he had been engineered by Sirius Black, Mad-Eye Moody and Albus Dumbledore, who were all dead except for Sirius, in order to defeat Voldemort, he could end up dead.
Sirius knew he was innocent but himself and his father knew that there was little they could do. And as he sat in his cold gloomy cell, he knew it was only a matter of time.
He didn't know how much time later, someone was standing in front of him behind the iron bars. He immediately knew who it was. He could smell her perfume that he loved so much from where he was sitting.
Before he could say anything, she said "Tell me everything. I need and want to know everything." Hadrian didn't say anything except look into her violent blue eyes. He knew that look. It was the look that left no room for argument. After another few moments, he told her, "Okay"
One week later...
Daphne Greengrass confidently made her way through the ministry. Thanks to her feared reputation as a lawyer, many people hastily got their selves out of her way. Today she only had one objective in mind, and that was to win the case for one Hadrian Sirius Black. She had deeply regretted the day she broke up with him. And never to this day had she stopped loving him and wishing that she had never left.
As she walked towards the Wizengamot chamber , her thoughts drifted of towards her own family. Her father, Lord Cyrus Greengrass of the Most Ancient and Noble house of Greengrass, had seen it fit to move his entire family to France during the Second Great Wizarding War. The Greengrass's were one of many Most Ancient houses such as, Black, Potter, Longbottom, Bones, Lestrange and etc.
Daphne remained in England after an long argument with her parents saying that she was an adult and wanted to continue her studies in law. So they left without her. Her younger sister and brother were then enrolled in Beauxbatons Academy of Magic.
She eventually made it to the chamber a few minutes before the trial was about to start. The chamber was full of Lords, Ladies, spectators and reporters. She calmly made her way towards her seat and waited patiently for the trial to begin. Many people nodded at her as they walked pass, however she paid them no heed.
Instead she paid close attention to the Potter family who where showing no emotion on their faces except for Lily Potter and her daughter Rose Potter. Next to them sat, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew who had similar expressions on their faces. She then sought out Sirius Black who was sitting on his family seat as a proxy.
He had been doing so for a while now and to this day, nobody knew who the current Lord Black was. Their eyes met and they both gave each other a brief nod. They had been meeting privately throughout the last few days planning out their course of action for today's trial. They could only hope that it was enough and the person who they loved would be free. Today was going to be an interesting day.
