Chapter 44
One member of the jury stood to speak.
"We, the members of the jury, find the actions of Sirius Black . . ." there was a long, nerve-wracking, pause, "justified."
Reena let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Mr. Black, you are free to leave and the charges that were held against you in the case of Peter Pettigrew's murder and all related charges will be dropped," the judge informed Sirius.
Reena leaned over the barrier that separated the spectator seating from the rest of the courtroom and gave Sirius a big hug.
Hand in hand, Reena and Sirius walked out of the courthouse followed by Remus. As they exited the courthouse and walked onto Diagon Alley, they were attacked by a barrage of reporters from the Daily Prophet, photographers, and reporters form foreign wizarding newspapers. Reena, Sirius, and Remus had to push their way through because they wanted to go to the Leaky Cauldron to celebrate.
Reena was much smaller than Sirius and had a harder time pushing through the crowds. In an act of impatience, Sirius picked up Reena and threw her over his shoulder. Then he and Remus tore threw Diagon Alley. As they ran, the media followed as best they could. However, the other people in Diagon Alley were terrified to see Sirius Black running in broad daylight with what appeared to be a child heaved over his shoulder.
Sirius and Remus rushing into the Leaky Cauldron. Tom ushered them into a private parlor. Sirius put Reena down and all 3 of them were laughing so hard they could hardly breath. They calmed down after Tom brought some tea and sandwiches.
"What are you going to do now?" Remus asked.
Sirius' smile vanished and was replaced with a serious look.
"Go home and find a job," Sirius answered after some thought.
"Any ideas on where you would work?" Remus asked.
"I could go back to the Aurors and beg for my old job."
"That is a feasible idea," Reena commented, "I mean, you did put a lot of your Auror skills to work with finding Peter."
"I suppose," Sirius muttered as he took a sip of tea

Harry was relieved to end his 6th year of school. His happiness was punctured by the thought of spending another summer with the Dursleys. As he stepped off the train, he was surprised to see Reena and Sirius waiting on Platform 9 ¾. He knew that Sirius had been set free, but he hadn't expected them to be at the train station.
"Hi Harry!" Reena said, giving Harry a welcoming hug.
"Hi," Harry responded. "What are you doing here?"
"We've come to take you to our house for the summer," Sirius answered, loading Harry's things onto a trolley.
"What about the Dursleys?" Harry asked.
"What about them? We'll tell them you're coming with us," Sirius said. "I've got a new car," he added.
Reena, Sirius, and Harry ran threw the barrier back to platform 9. Harry spotted Vernon Dursley.
"There's my uncle," Harry pointed out.
They walked towards Mr. Dursley.
" Good God boy. Where were you? Do you know how long you've made me wait here? Who are they?" Vernon Dursley asked as he saw Harry walking with Reena and Sirius.
"Sirius Black," Sirius introduced himself by holding his hand out for a handshake, "and my wife Reena."
Mr. Dursley turned form a bright red color to a sickening shade of ash as he realized that this was Harry's godfather.
"Wh-Wh-What do you want?" Mr. Dursley sputtered.
"We want to take Harry home with us. Would you mind sending his things to this address?" Reena said, handing Mr. Dursley a business card with and address.
Mr. Dursley nodded and left the station as fast as he could. Reena, Sirius, and Harry also left the station. They loaded Harry's things into a black, sleek-looking new car and drove off. In the car, Harry fell asleep. When he woke up, he realized that they were driving in a neighborhood of huge Victorian mansions. He recognized the house they were pulling into as the one where they had celebrated Christmas. Harry noticed that that the gardens were well tended and the outside of the house looked very well cared-for.
"We're not going to your flat?" Harry asked.
"We moved out a few months ago. We moved here," Reena explained.
Later in the evening, they sat down for dinner.
"Things are going to get much better Harry," Sirius said as they ate. "I've got my old job back and my house. We're in a better position to become your legal guardians."
"Would you like that?" Reena asked anxiously.
"Yes I would," Harry answered in the blink of an eye.

Sirius woke up in the middle of the night. His alarm clock revealed it was only 1:15. He looked to his side, but found that Reena was not there. He went to the kitchen and saw Reena sitting in the back porch on the large swing. He went outside. The night was clear and the air was warm and breezy. Reena was sitting crossed legged on the swing, looking at the massive night sky.
"What's the matter?" he asked as he sat next to her.
"Everything is so perfect, it feels surreal," she answered.
"I can pinch you and find out it it's really a dream," Sirius suggested.
"No, it's very real," Reena said.
She put her head on his shoulder and gave a lazy yawn. Sirius put his arms around Reena. They were enveloped in a fuzzy feeling that both of them had longed for, for several years. At last they were together forever.
