Everyone in the court room heard a booming voice over all the comotion. The judge was speaking once again.

"Now it has been brought to my attetion that you Mrs.Lupin were not married to Mr.Lupin yet when you were claimed to be dead."

Ness stood up with her legs shaking. She surely couldn't grasp all of this news in one breath. She spoke softly.

"Yes your honor I was pronounced dead on Halloween of the year 1981. I was engaged and pregnaute with Remus Lupin. I fled to America two days after the attack and settled in America. I was put into a hospital on June 15th that year. I changed my name I Jane Roseberry. Since then I have thought of my fiance to be dead for 14 years."

Everyone in the courtroom was silent except for Lily's and Remus's muffled sobs in the backround.

" I also thought that my best friends Sirius Black, Lily Potter, and James Potter were dead." Her hint of American accent was broad enough to tell that she had indeed lived there for a good number of years.

"It has been brought to my attention to a certain someone." Ness's eyes flashed to Hermione and then back at the jury and the judge.

"That my best friends were all pushed around with no evidence to keep them innocent. That is why I am here today. "

Ness wiped away her free tears and sat down next to her daughter Elisabeth and Remus and held his hand tighly as the court room rustled with whispers of excitement and surprising comments.

Harry looked at Elisabeth who glanced a quick look at him and blushed herself. He smiled and went back to listening to the judges boring rules and swears.

Sirius was now looking grim and happy at the same time. He paused to think but his mind was interrupted with a familiar voice.

Sirius whispered to no one in particular. James...

James moved forward to a seat next to a judge as a lawyer asked him questions. As usual he answered smartly like when he was asked where he was the night f November the 2nd he simply answered to be dead.

Almost everyone in the courtroom snickered at his comments and smart remarks. Even Dumbledore tried to hold back on chuckling to himself.

As James left the stand and telling the judge his story about the change of the secret keeper he winked at Sirius and smiled as he sat back down.

Lily was questioned next. She too answered the same way but a little more clamly and detailed then James. Harry snickered at the competition between the married couple.

When Lily was finished she winked at Sirius also indicateing to Harry that something was going to happen.

He quickly gave Remus a thumbs up as he shakly walked up to the stand. He looked around them and he felt tears surging to his eyes.

Sirius smiled weakly at his hurt friend and whispered to him" C'mon Moony show the rat what your made of!"

Remus smiled weakly also and looked over to his right where the bottled up Wormtail was. He nodded bravly at the lawyer and he started answering very detailed.

When he came up to the part in the sheriking shak he asked if the lawyer could speak to Harry and Hermione at that point.

Remus sighed and sat back down smiling at Sirius a hint of mischeive in his own eyes.

Harry and Hermione sat at the bench together taking turns explaining wht had happened the night Wormtail excaspe. They did leave the small detail of them traveling back in time to save 2 lives and Dumbledore smiled at them when they walked back to the bench.

Except Harry was watching Dumbledore. Her was watching the girl behind him.

He still couldn't believe that he had spoken that way about Remus's daughter. He smiled a friendly smile towards her and sat down paying grave attention to the verdict.

The jury was whispering to the judge as he nodded and spoke at last.

Everyone was tipping out of their seats when he spoke.

The jury claims that Mr. Sirius Black is proven....
