Chapter 32*~~
The Rat*~~
"The Ministry Court's randomly selected Neutrals orders that Sirius Lee Black be found-"
"Whatever the Neutrals they better reconsider it," ordered a voice from the defense doorway. Virginia Weasley stood there in low rise black jeans, a tight black tank top with a rose on it, black high heel boots, ad her cloak flung back over her neck and shoulders. She was leaning casually on her broomstick as though it was every day she stopped the verdict of a very important trial from being announced.
"Excuse me?" sputtered Orderman Honeycomb.
"They don't have all the evidence and I believe there's one last testifier to hear from," Ginny said. She stood up and tossed her broom casually to Harry. With quick reflexes he grabbed it and set it down.
"We are about to announce the verdict!" cried Honeycomb in indignation.
"According to Ministry rules unless the actual verdict has been voiced you are forced to listen to me. You can check," Ginny said calmly. "Besides, you may find it interesting to see a man who's supposedly dead." Draco, Pansy, and Lis slipped in silently through the doors on either side of the spectators box. They flashed her grins.
"What do you mean?" snapped the Orderman impatiently.
"I have Peter Pettigrew." Ginny pulled a cage out from her cloak. She held in front of her eyes and looked through the bars straight at Sirius and grinned. Inside the cage a small rat squeaked.
"Bloody hell!" Ron exclaimed.
"I really am sorry to be late but it got to late to come back to the castle last night and I overslept. Then there was the matter of flying here," explained Ginny. She turned to the Neutrals. "This is Peter Pettigrew." She pulled a vile from her robes. "This is vertasierum. Harry would you mind helping me?"
"S-sure," he stuttered. He stood and pointed his wand at the cage. Ginny set it down and hit it with first a beam of red and then one of aqua.
"Now!" At the same time they cast their spells. The cage burst open and Peter Pettigrew appeared in front of them.
"Oh my God," muttered Molly. Ginny walked over and stared at him.
"Open your mouth."
"NO!" Ginny rolled her eyes and kneed him harshly in the groin. He groaned and Ginny quickly dumped the potion into his mouth.
"What's you name?"
"Peter Pettigrew."
"Who was the Potter's secret keeper?"
"Sirius told them to use me to trick Voldemort. He said it was the perfect bluff. I was the secret keeper."
"Do you work for Voldemort?"
"Yes, I helped him regain power at the end of last Hogwarts semester."
"Did you kill twelve muggles the morning after Voldemort's downfall."
"Yes, and I framed Sirius."
"Did you sell Harry's parents to Voldemort?"
"Yes."
"Are you guilty of the charges which are being tested against Sirius Lee Black?"
"Yes. I, Peter Pettigrew, am guilty."
"There you are!" Ginny stopped circling the man and sat down next to Harry. "Now you can continue with deciding your verdict." The Neutrals began talking quietly. The Head Neutral stood up.
"Orderman, we've changed our verdict."
"Alright then, by order of the Ministry Court's randomly selected Neutrals orders that Sirius Lee Black be found innocent of all charges. Arrest Peter Pettigrew." Ministry members quickly stunned the man. Harry hugged Ginny and kissed her fiercely. She smiled and kissed away the single tear that had slid down his cheek.
"WE DID IT!" cried Harry. Sirius's chair released him and he hugged his godson tightly.
"Ginny did it!" he corrected.
"No, I had help from Draco, Lis, and Pansy," Ginny said, blushing. She hugged Sirius tightly.
"I say we go get some food," Sirius said. He hugged everyone he could.
"I agree," Moony said. They all headed out the doors.
Sirius put his arm around Ara as they neared the doors to the wizard street Windenport. Harry stood on one side of them with Ginny, Remus and May on the other. Next to Harry was Ron and Hermione. All of the Stags were finding comfort in their match's arms. Sirius opened the door and the bright light pounded their eyes. Hundreds of reporters flocked the sides of the stairs.
"What is the verdict?" was the most common question.
"It's innocent you bloody idiots!" Ginny cried. Harry laughed and kissed her passionately. They had stopped right at the bottom of the stairs.
"Mr. Potter, who's this young girl? What happened to Miss Granger?!" Hermione snorted.
"Nothing happened to me!" she yelled. She kissed Ron happily.
"She's mine," Harry announced. Ginny hit his arm playfully.
"That's what you think." She grabbed her broom and mounted.
"Oh no you don't!" Harry grabbed the end and dragged her off of it. Ginny giggled.
"I'm Ginny Weasley, Harry's girlfriend," Ginny said spiritedly to the reporters. "But Sirius has a fiancée. Arabella Figg. And he's teaching at Hogwarts with the werewolf Remus Lupin."
"Thank you, Ginny," Sirius said sarcastically.
"You be nice," Ara scolded. Sirius laughed.
"Can't be anything else today. I'm in too good of a mood!" They all laughed and pushed past the reporters.
"Who's up for muggle food?" asked Hermione.
"Me!" answered everyone.
A/N I AM SO SORRY!!!!!!!!! You see, it was all screwed up because I uploaded the wrong thing! After I finish a chapter and upload it, I paste it into my document Sirius Black- Captured! And when I'm working on something I use my file Sirius Black Captured!. I must have accidentily hit the wrong one! Luckily I hadn't erased this one yet.
NOTICE: I would like to say that this is not the end. There is still an Epilogue. And I changed my name to Flaming Water
