Chapter 8

"Harry, Hermione, Ron what a pleasant surprise." Dumbledore greeted them, wide awake even though it was late. "And you brought a friend and their dog I see." He said smiling. Harry frowned.

"Headmaster." He began, but Dumbledore held up a hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Harry sat and then started again. "Headmaster, This is."

"Lemon drop Harry?" Dumbledore interrupted again. Harry was losing his temper, and said loudly.

"Headmaster we have just delayed Voldemort's return to power!"

This caught the headmasters attention. He turned to Harry.

"What do you mean? Is this the reason why you three are still up you have one unconscious body and a dog?"

"Yes, headmaster this" he nudged the body with his foot, "Is the body of Peter Pettigrew, also known as Wormtail to the Marauders and Voldemort."

Dumbledore paled, and looked towards the dog. "Then this is?"

Harry nodded to Sirius who transformed back to his human form.

"Sirius Black. My godfather."

Dumbledore was in shock and was clearly going back over everything that had happened all those years ago.

The room was silent for a long time but then Dumbledore muttered one thing that made Harry realise that Sirius was going to be free.

"Merlin. Lily and James."
