Hi everybody! This chapter was really hard to put to paper. I did it though! This is a Ministry of Magic dispute. I really stink at these too. But I tried. If you have any suggestion on an argument that I missed out on, please tell me!
On to the show…
This place still gave Sirius the creeps, the ministries court room, but he was ready. This had gone on far enough. Since they had left Remus's forest they had gotten word that the death eaters had attacked.
When he had the attention of everyone, Sirius started, "Look at yourselves, I've just been told there was another Death Eater attack last night. Now, lets think about this, you guys are too busy killing off the good guys to stop the bad. Werewolves are just like us, they are human. They pick sides too."
Sarah stepped forward with the tape, "Don't you see, what would happen if all the werewolves joined Voldemort. Are they as evil now as that?
We have been staying with werewolves, and we have something to show you."
So far the ministry had been quiet. Not knowing what they were thinking, Sirius and Sarah could only hope. On the screen, they could see a little boy, much like the children of the ministry workers in the daycare across the street, telling his life story, showing Sirius his friends and how the orphanage had been burned. It was bad enough being an orphan, but to be treated as an animal as well, it had to effect a boy of his age. Like Remus though, David looked at the bright side of things.
At the end of the tape, they looked around hoping for the best. One of them spoke up, "All right, they are humans too, but they are still monsters once a month."
"You are right, they are, but for the rest of the time they are human. So why should there be so many rules about them when they are in human form? And why are you killing them off? They could be allies!" Sarah stated.
"She has a point, " Someone in the room commented.
"We will give them more freedom. What is it you really wanted to ask though?" The minister of the ministry asked. He had reminded Sirius of Dumbledore when Sirius had been proven innocent.
"My godson's father is still alive, his father is a werewolf. I think he should have a right to be around his dad." Sirius answered quietly.
The courtroom got loud, giving Sirius the creeps. Past memories died hard. Sarah could see Sirius tense up; she stood by him and put an arm around his shoulder. It was going to be all right.
The murmuring stopped. The minister stood again and sighed, "May we have the father's name?"
Sirius thought about this, his friend went by a lot of names, who knew who he was to the ministry. Finally, after thinking for a while, he came to the conclusion, "Remus Lupin Potter, father of Harry Potter."
The room fell silent, except for the minister, "The brother of James hum, well, I don't see why not. He needs to stay away from Harry though, on the full moon. I was one of the few who knew that Harry's father wasn't James, how did you find out?"
"I'm his best friend, I found pictures." Sirius smiled.
" Like I said, I don't know why not, who made that rule anyway?"
"The old minister." Sirius looked at the other members of the ministry. Most of them had been followers of that minister. They seemed not to approve of what there new leader was saying. Some of them were opening their mouths and closing them again. No one argued out loud though. Sirius thought it best if he left it like that.
"Thank you, minister." Sarah nodded with Sirius and walked out the door.
Yeha! I did it! And it took up two pages! I will try to wrap up the ends in the next chapter. And try not to make it to mushy. You know it's going to be, but I'll try to stay low with it.
P.S. –I love reviews!
