Harry Potter and the Runaway Convict
Chapter 23
"Honestly, people, that is quite enough. Mrs. Pettigrew, please sit down now. Mr. Black, please continue with your story."
"Well, they thought it was a perfect bluff, and they went with it. The night they were killed, I went to check on Peter, and there was no one at his house, he was just gone, and it looked like there had been no struggle. Something felt bad. I went to the Potter's house, and it was blown to bits."
Judge DeRosa nodded.
"And how do you explain the next morning? Even if that is true, you are still charged with the murder of 12 Muggles and Peter Pettigrew."
"Pete's alive."
"That's nonsense!" Morgan had butted in again.
"Morgan, would you please stop! Any more interruptions from you and I will be forced to ask you to leave." Judge DeRosa was furious. This trial was crazy.
"Your honor, the next part has to be explained by using previous events, but there is someone who would be better to tell you this next part than I am. I would like to have Remus Lupin come to the stand." Remus obeyed, and he stood up and came to the front.
"All right, Mr. Lupin, tell me your story," Judge DeRosa said, as calmly as he could. His courthouse was a mess.
"Well, your honor, it all started with the fact that I am a werewolf, as most of you in here know already." There were tons of gasps from the smalll court room. Judge DeRosa shook his head.
"Well, my very loyal friends, Sirius Black, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew discovered this fact, and instead of shunning me, they tried harder to help me, which led to them becoming unregistered Animagi in order to join me during my transformations."
More gasps, and then Judge DeRosa spoke, asking, "Is there any more you would like to say?"
Remus shook his head, and said, "No, it's all Sirius from here."
"Well, I tried to track down Peter. I was out to kill him for what he had done, but he was too quick for me. Little Peter killed all those Muggles, and then transformed into a rat and went down into the sewer. He framed me, your honor."
"And is there any evidence of this?"
"No."
"Well, you have not only failed to clear yourself, Mr. Black, but you have possibly made your punishment more severe by admitting that you were an unregistered Animagus." Sirius nodded sadly.
"Mr. Black, I find you g............"
But he never got to say it. The door was thrown open, and the Judge was interrupted.
