Harry Potter and the order of Phoenix
By Maddy
Chapter 24
A/N I know you all want my chapters out quicker and you want to make them longer. So I'd like you all to see my day. I don't get home from school till five, normally. But now that there are huge road works on a major road that I go down it takes even longer. Now I need to add a big Key Stage three assignment that I have to do for next Thursday. This involves a slide show with 20 slides on a career a user manual on how to use power point, which is a bit hard, as I've never used it before and a presentation all of which has to be done at school. So I don't get home till six. Then I'm not at home much on Tuesday and Wednesday due to after school stuff. I have four stories I progress, most of which I want to have finished by Easter Sunday (I think I'm giving myself WAY to much.) and I haven't included my homework and I don't get on the computer for more then half an hour on Monday to Thursday and then I have to share the weekend with my two brothers. Now I'll stop complaining and get on with the story.
Harry, Hermione and Ron got up and walked out of the hall with Nicola yelling "Good luck!" from behind them.
Harry, Ron and Hermione walked behind Dumbledore who was leading them through a series of passages they'd never been through. Eventually the came to a heavy oak door with the Hogwarts crest engraved into it. "This is the Hogwarts debate room, at least that's what we fondly name it. When Hogwarts was first built, the ministry of magic was in chaos. There were dark lords every where and the mom was being attacked daily."
"So the founders four built this room to decide what would happen and how to get rid of the dark lord with out being attacked. Slytherin at the time wasn't on the dark side but wasn't on the light side, no one knew where his loyalties lied so they let him be. He was a powerful wizard, you wouldn't want him as you enemy so every one left Hogwarts alone." Continued Hermione
"Hogwarts a History, such a great book yet no one reads it." Smiled Dumbledore. Hermione smirked at Ron and Harry.
"I swear one of these days I'll put the full body bind on you and make you stare at the pages of Hogwarts a history, and then I'll come round every 3 minutes to change the page until you've finished it."
Ron swallowed at this when Hermione said something like that you had to believe her. "Quite." Answered Dumbledore smiling. He opened the doors and walked in head held high to some seats. The room was already filled with people all of whom looked up when they saw them.
Arthur immediately ran up to them and started talking to Ron who replied eagerly. The surrounding people had taken to pointing at Harry, Ron and Hermione, Ron didn't notice, Harry was used to it but Hermione was annoyed. "Sonorous. When you've all stopped pointing at us could you please start the trial!?"
Harry smiled just like Hermione so be a bossy boots in front of the ministry of magic or not. Arthur smiled and quickly strided over to a chair that was higher then every one else's and much more elaborate.
A un-none man walked up to a chair and started to talk. "We are here for the trial of Sirius Black, who betrayed James and Lily Potter." At this point he glanced at Harry, "and killed 13 muggles as well as Peter Pettigrew."
Harry frowned at this but didn't say anything. "Would the named please be escorted out." Sirius was brought out with two ministry-hit wizards. Sirius was sat in a chair while a rather old and bedraggled witch came up to him.
She placed her wand at Sirius' temple and drew out a silver wisp which she promptly but in a gold tray. "Progectus." She announced. A scene came up.
"James, use Peter, no one would suspect him it's the perfect feint."
"But, we want to use you."
"People are after me as well, they could kill two birds with one stone."
"But you wouldn't give in."
"No I wouldn't but that's not the point."
"But why use Peter instead of Remus?"
"Because you know someone's been leaking information."
"But why do you think its Remus and not Peter?"
"Do you think it's likely that Peter is in league with the dark lord? You know the Voldemort is recruiting werewolf's."
"But Remus isn't that kind of person."
" We're not talking about Remus we're talking about you, Lily and Harry."
"Fine." Agreed James.
The projection faded. Sirius was looking at Remus who was looking perplexed while Sirius was pouting. "Thank you Black, would Harry Potter please come over here."
Harry stood up and complied giving Sirius a reassuring smile. "Harry why are you here?" The man asked. Harry was slightly startled at the question but answered.
"To plead for Sirius' innocence."
"Why is that?"
"Because he is innocent and I believe he has a right to be free."
"This had nothing to do with the fact that you want to leave your muggle family?"
"No, my aunt and uncle divorced and I'm quite fine with her she is actually very kind with me."
"And what will happen if Sirius is freed?"
"Well I suppose we'd all live together, we haven't really thought about it."
"And why not?"
"What has this got to do with proving Sirius' innocence? Can we please get on with this."
The witch came up to him and extracted the memory. The shrieking shack quickly appeared and the night was unfolded. A few people laughed when the 3 Gryffindors knocked out Snape but the rest watched intently. The crowd all gasped when the Patronus came flying towards Harry and knocked down the Dementors. "But how?" They muttered hoping they'd get the answer later.
"That's all well and goof Mr Potter, though we have to see Mr Weasley's and Miss Granger's memories to make sure you aren't delusional."
"You don't read Rita Skeeter do you?"
"Well yes but what has that got to do with the price of bread?"
"Well what she wrote in the paper was a pack of lies as I refused to let her interview me."
"You carry on believing that Mr Potter." The man muttered before motioning for Harry to go back.
Half an hour later they had seen Hermione's, Ron's and Remus' memories and the audience believed them all. Every one agreed apart from the Judge. "Your memories seem to comply with each others, but Mr Black could have been telling you a pack of lies. I need proof that Mr J. Potter and Mrs L. Potter used Peter Pettigrew."
Sirius looked worried. Harry sighed he hadn't told Professor Dumbledore about the diary entry, well it was not or never. "Accio James Potter's Diary."
A minute later the Sirius was looking very anxious and the judge very pleased with him self. The door then burst open and the book came flying through and landed in Harry's hands. The hall all turned to stare at Harry while he sighed with relief.
He opened the book to the back and went and sat on the chair he had previously. "What is that?" asked the judge.
"This is my dad's diary. He wrote in it they day they did the fidelius curse." Harry started to dictate to the hall. Sirius was crying along with Remus by the end, though they were both smiling.
"How do I know this is not fake?" the judge asked.
"Why are you such an insufferable know it all?" Harry asked. "Do you really think I'd make up a whole diary with what my dad made up. I'll just randomly open a page and read it for you.
Today I went on my first date with Lily, it went terribly but she agreed to go to Hogsmead with me again. Sirius spent the whole morning giving me tips on how to date, the idiot. As I said the date went terribly though Lily was still perfectly nice and sweet about the affair. The first thing that went wrong was the fact that the restaurant I had booked was double booked so they wouldn't let us in because we still go to school. Then we went to a quiet café and had some ice-cream sundaes. I found out that I was allergic to peanuts! Of all the times I had to find out I was allergic to peanuts it had to be then. Sirius and Remus spent the whole day laughing at me but can you blame them? I guess not. I guess I should go back to my divination homework
James.
"Do you believe we now? Or do you want me to read the whole diary out to you?"
"Yes, I believe you!" snapped the judge infuriated at being proven wrong. "Sirius Black is now a free man. We do however need to discuss the case of being illegal animagi."
Sirius narrowed his eyes. "I was in Azkaban for 12 years with out getting a trial I think we can by pass that." He stood up and walked out of the room Grinning.
