"Ilya I have to tell you something." said Sirius nuzzling her neck.

"Yes Sirius?" asked Ilya looking at him.

Then an owl sat on the windowsill and threw a copy of the daily prophet at Ilya.

Sirius threw the bird a few sickles before the bird flew away and Sirius looked at Ilya.

"Yesterday I got an owl from the ministry and it said I am freed of all charges from the incident with killing those smuggles." said Sirius.

"You are but how?" asked Ilya sitting up.

"Apparently a lawyer by the name of Alexander Sydney called the court and asked for a meeting with the jury from my trial he then explained certain facts that helped win my case." said Sirius.

"So your free?" asked Ilya.

"That's right Star I'm a free man at last." smiled Sirius kissing her.

"Oh Sirius I'm so glad." whispered Ilya hugging him.

"And I promise that I will never leave you and Cho ever again." said Sirius.

"I know you won't Sirius." smiled Ilya.

A year later....

Sirius sat in the three broomsticks waiting fro Harry to come. It was a Hogsmeade weekend and Harry had promised to meet him with out Hermione and Ron.

Harry walked in and took the scarf off from around his face as he approached Sirius' table.

Madam Rosmerta approached the table as Harry sat down and Sirius ordered two butter beers.

"So what's up Sirius? Your letter sounded urgent." said Harry.

"Well Harry I've been seeing a certain woman for a while and I had gone out with her in Hogwarts before she left and now I thought you should know I'm going to ask her to marry me." said Sirius restlessly.

"You're going to get engaged? Congratulations." smiled Harry.

Madam Rosmerta smiled as she put the two cups of butter beer on the table.

"Thing is Harry there is one aspect I forgot to tell you." said Sirius. "What's that?" asked Harry.

"See I had a daughter with my future fiancée who I only discovered last year. So in a way you'll have a sister," said Sirius.

"Great. Now whose the lucky woman?" asked Harry.

"Ilya Chang." said Sirius.

Harry spit out his mouth full of butter beer.

"Chang as in Cho Chang?" asked Harry.

"You know Cho?" asked Sirius.

"Yes I know her. So you're marrying her mum?" asked Harry.

"Yes and I hope your happy for me Harry. I want us both to benefit from this," said Sirius.

"Of course I am. Have you got a ring yet?" asked Harry.

"No Cho's getting it for me. But you'll see it when I introduce Ilya to you at Easter." said Sirius.

"Great. I've got to go and meet Hermione and Ron up at the quill shop. Bye Sirius." said Harry hurriedly getting to his feet and rushing out the pub.

Sirius sighed. He could tell his god son wasn't as happy as he was but he just hoped he'd deal with it.
