About five hours later nad after quite a few tears, all three humans were all healed and on their way back to Ripneck's office. Upon arrival, Harry was surprised by the goblin king he had seen earlier sitting behind Ripneck's desk. Ripneck immediately took a knee before his king and Harry, Petunia, and Dudley all followed suit.
"Ripneck, friends, pleas stand up. There is no need to stand on ceremony today, we have far too much to get done," King Ragnarok said with a gravelly voice.
Ragnarok was no taller than Ripneck, but he was much more muscular and he had a scar above his left eye. The scar gave him a perpetual scowl so that when he was smiling, he appeared to be leering.
"Ripneck, fill me in with what is happening."
"King Ragnarok, Houses Evans and Potter have been grievously wronged. We also have reason to believe that Sirius Black is innocent."
"What?!" Ragnarok roared, without raising his voice.
"Madame Evans has had her memory modified to forget that she is Lady Black, wife to Lord Sirius Orion Black. She was under a love potion so she would fall in love with muggle Vernon Dursley. She was even led to believe through memory charms and glamours that her son was a Dursley, instead of the Black that he is."
"Ripneck, do we have any idea what human has such an obvious death wish?"
"The loyalty potions that were found in all three were all keyed to Albus Percivl Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, King Ragnarok."
the goblin king grinned, putting his pointed teeth on display, "Then let up finally end the old goat."
The goblin king looked as if he was going to enjoy taking Dumbledore off the pedestal that the magical society had placed him on. Harry was not really sure who this person was, but he wanted him to pay, and pay dearly. I sounded to him like if Vernon was not in the picture, things would have gone much better for him, because his aunt would not have been scared for herself and Dudley.
"How can we be certain that Lord Black is innocent?"
"Your Highness, Lord Black is listed as Heir Potter's godfather per godfather ritual so we know that he was not the secret keeper as it had been thought. If he were, he would be dead and not sitting in a cell. As for the other charge, we would just have to get him a trial since he never had one to beging with."
"Wait, you mean my husband has endured hell on earth for nearly six years without so much as a trial? We will not be staying in Britain one Siri is released. I am taking my boys and going to America, I know that Siri and I had talked about doing that anyway when Dudley was born. But then Dumbledore convinced my sister and brother-in-lw to go into hiding and we just could not leave without them. Maybe we should have." Petunia was fuming, her husband did not deserve to live everyday reliving his worst days. Heads were going to roll.
