Chapter 13-innocent
Harry woke up with a start to find that he was drenched in sweat and his blankets were all twisted up. He must of had a nightmare but he could not remember about what. It seemed like it was about chess or something bad. What? That does not make any sense Harry thought. 'I am always having weird dreams, its part of the Harry Potter package. I shouldn't worry about it too much'
Thinking that through made Harry feel much better, so he stepped out of bed to go take a shower and head down to breakfast. It was still a little early in the morning but he saw that Ron was already out of bed so obviously it was not that early.
After he was done with his shower he headed down to the great hall where he found that only about half the hall was filled with students. He noticed that both Hermione and Ron were already sitting at the Gryffindor table and went over to sit down by them. As he sat down, before he could greet anybody, the mail came in and dropped off a daily prophet in front of Hermione and a letter in front of Harry.
Harry opened his letter to find it written by Sirius.
Dear Harry,
I do not know if you have already heard from the newspaper but I thought I should write you anyways. Peter was found dead on a street and as you can guess that proves my case true which makes me a free man. As you can guess the Ministry of Magic is compensating me greatly for all the trouble I had gone through and their mistakes for convicting me. Well, I have to visit Dumbledore in the next couple of days to talk to him about recent developements. When I do visit him I will be sure to ask Dumbledore if you, Ron and Hermione could come up to say hi to me. I am sure it will not be any problem now that I am your legal guardian. I have that sorted out with the ministry also. They were more than happy to give me full custody of you since obviously I was so much better than those muggle relatives of yours. So, I must go now for there is a lot to do. I will talk to you soon, hopefully in the next couple of days.
Sirius
Not long after Harry had finished his letter Hermione screamed in shock at the article in the Daily Prophet. Obviously she had read the article on Sirius being proven innocent. Hermione turned to Harry to show him the article but he only smiled and read the letter he received from Sirius first explaining what the article said but with a more personal touch. Hermione was ecstatic and Ron could not be any happier. Harry was very happy. He was numb from the feeling. He had never been this happy before. He now had a real home to call his not to mention a real family that he had never had. The only thing that bothered him was that Peter was killed and probably killed by Voldemort. What was Voldemorts reason because he always has a reason to kill somebody. That must mean that he has a plan and that Voldemort is not happy with Peter's work.
Most of those thoughts were pushed out of Harry's head by the thought of living with Sirius and having the home he always had dreamed of. His mood could not even be dampered by the thought of having DADA next which turned out to be not as much of a fun class as Lupin and Moody tought. Not to mention Prof. Risp seemed to have something against every student. Atleast he did not play favorites to any students like Snape did but he still was not a fun teacher to have.
************I know that was not much of a chapter but I needed to get that out of the way. It should play more of a role in the plot to have Sirius proven innocent. I should also have more on Prof. Risp. It is the weekend and hopefully I will have another (hopefully longer and more eventful) chapter soon. Well thanks for those who are reviewing. Please, please review.********
