August 1989 – January - 1990 – Chapter 5 – Trouble Brewing
Voldemort was starting to grow powerful and gain supporters.
Lily and James were both happy parents of a lovely baby boy named Harry. He had been born on July 31 and was a lovely boy now who liked looking about at the world about him.
Sirius and Khadja were his godparents. They loved the young boy and spoiled him rotten whenever they came to visit.
Remus had moved back to his old family home since his mother had passed away. Khadja could not stand how thin and pale he got at times and would spend her days cooking and making meals to last him a few days. She also would do his mending.
He could never thank her enough. She was a very kind loving woman like Lily who wanted to make sure he was well before anything else.
Sirius loved Harry so much and asked Khadja if they could try for their own. She smiled and agreed. Their nights were passionate and loving.
Lily and James like Sirius, Khadja, and Remus refused to join Voldemort.
There was no longer a safe place for the Potters. They were to go into hiding. Sirius was the choice for being their secret keeper, the person that knew where they were hiding in case there was a need to find them.
It was too obvious, he argued with James. He convinced them not to tell him and have Peter Pettigrew hold the secret of where they were.
Soon it was not safe for the Blacks. Remus joined them in hiding. Albus Dumbledore was their secret keeper. Neither Sirius nor Remus would let Voldemort near the Muggleborn woman they loved. The man hated her because she was not a pureblood. Being born to two Muggles and being the kindest and one of the brightest witches around made for problems of the time.
Sirius and Khadja were also still trying for a baby. The presence of Harry made them want a baby all the more. She consulted Remus whose sense of smell and instinct were far greater than the Blacks.
Remus knew when Khadja was "in heat" and when Sirius laid with her and no child was made Sirius started to wonder if the fault was with him.
Khadja also joined the Mauaders as an animagus, but she was registered. She was a great Harpy Eagle when she transformed. She also discovered while gardening that she had the rare gift of being a Parcelmouth. It was ironic for she hated snakes. She had yelled at one and it had spoken to her. She thought she was mad until Remus had told her she had talked to it in Parceltongue.
For two months Khadja joined Sirius and Remus when Remus transformed. Sirius was a huge bear like black dog. She turned into an eagle and could stay as well. Remus was only a threat to humans. Animals were safe as his friends had discovered in school.
When the three days of hell were over, Khadja would be there and could tend Remus's hurts with such care that only a woman could.
Sirius was never jealous of her doting on Remus He knew his old friend needed it. Few cared for werewolves and Remus was a very good man.
Harry was five months old when the most terrible night of all came to pass.
Voldemort had come. He had killed Lily and James, but Harry did not die that night. He was left unharmed except for his scar in the shape of a lightening bolt on his forehead.
James was found the next morning by a neighbor with the hungry squalling Harry near his crib and dead mother. Lily had died trying to save him.
The Ministry took over and erased the Muggle's memory and Harry was brought to live with Khadja and Sirius until this all could be worked out.
Sirius did not take the news well. Remus stood behind Khadja as Sirius tiraded about the halls angry at everyone and everything at the moment.
Then he left. Khadja wondered how Voldemort had found out. She knew her husband would not have betrayed Lily and James. He would have died first.
He returned home late that night his clothes and hair a wreck. He was dazed. All he muttered was that he had betrayed them. Khadja made tea. He sipped it. She could get little else out of him.
Remus came in. He watched his old friend. He could not believe that Sirius had betrayed them. Surely not...
Six men with wands at the ready appeared in the room with them with a loud crack.
Khadja shrieked. She tried to get them away from Sirius as she was lifted away from him as to not harm her. Two of the men held her back with their wants not wishing to cause her harm for she had no part in this. Remus jumped up and wrapped her in his strong embrace. She fought trying to reach Sirius who looked at the men surrounding them and then locked eyes with his wife.
Sirius was disarmed and then his hands were placed in shackles and his legs put in a bind with a spell.
Remus drew her out of their way. "Kadi..." He cooed to her as he held her firmly.
"Sirius Black you are to stand trial for the murders of Lily Evans Potter, James Robert Potter, Peter Pettigrew, and twelve other Muggles. Also the attempted murder of one Harry Potter. You are to be taken to Azkaban Prison until a trial is set in which your guilt or innocence will be proven. Please come willingly. We do not wish to kill you in front of your wife."
Khadja let out a sob and Remus held her tightly as Sirius looked at them.
"Take care of her old friend." He whispered. "Please Remus."
Remus nodded numbly still in shock over the charges. He held the sobbing young woman against him. He gently rubbed her back.
Sirius was led out.
Remus looked at the young woman as he sat her down and knelt before her gently. He saw the sorrow and shock on her face.
He then lifted her and laid her own the couch with her head in his lap as he caressed her hair nervously. Why had this had to happen? Could Sirius have betrayed James? Surely not...
Khadja shifted and started to sob.
"Khadja it will be alright."
"What if he goes to jail. Who will be there for me and Harry?"
"I will for one." He said gently. Her parents had died both last year and now this. "I am sorry." He said. The had hurt her to the core, but this would maybe destroy her if he was guilty.
"I..." She could not finish and sighed. His caresses relaxed her somewhat.
He cooked for her. He tried to get her to eat whatever he could. She spent all the time she could with Harry. The Ministry gave her leave due to circumstance and knew her evidence would be tainted for she was married to the man who was to stand trial soon.
Remus often found her for the next few days with tears in her dark eyes. He wrapped in her in arms and held her gently. He wished it could have been easier for her.
This would be a long month before the trial date.
