A/N:-Just a quick little thing before you read this chapter, if you haven't read All About Change and Death Is The Way, you may not know who some of the people are who are mentioned in this chapter. So, for the benefit of some people here is a list of names and their significance

Jenny Chang-Cho's aunt, died in her seventh year. April and Lily's best friend, Jenny Marsden named after her

Charles Kinnear-Died on the same night as Jenny, was her date to the ball she died at.

Professor Hamish-Lily, April and Maruader's Potions master.


"And the Daily Prophet would like you to make a statement on the current happenings at Hogwarts on how they are allowing whipping. You have a meeting with the Spanish minister of magic and then your fiancé would like a word with you about your wedding." Said the undersecretary for the Minister of Magic. Harry nodded. He felt a bit bewildered, it was the first time that April had asked him to take over for her while she went to the north to sort out a Goblin Rebellion that had broken out in Scotland. Something about Muggles trying to dig up their gold hordes.

"Fiancé?" Harry asked

"You know, Sirius Black. I swear half the people aren't very happy with the fact that he's a mass murderer."

"He's not a mass murderer." Harry said but April's voice came out.

"Of course not." Said the undersecretary.

"He was framed by Worm-Peter Pettigrew."

"Oh, yes, him. Well he's been requesting you to go and see him in Azkaban. I recommend that you don't take your little protégé Harry Potter" She said.

"What's wrong with Harry?" Harry asked.

"I know he's supposed to be the People's hero but I think he's a bit strange in the head, thinking his scar hurts, fainting every so often." The undersecretary said like she was confiding in April.

"Do you know how much it hurts when-" Harry caught himself, "Well, I'll talk to him about it." The undersecretary nodded.

"Are you going to go and meet Mr. Pettigrew?"

"I will tell you tomorrow." Harry said. The undersecretary nodded, "You may go." She left and Harry sighed with relief. He didn't like being an adult like this. He had too much responsibility, how did April manage it? Harry had barely managed to take another drink of Polyjuice potion when a reporter from the Prophet came in.


April stood to her full height as she faced the Azkaban guards. Harry stood just behind her, he was about the same height as her and the guard looked at them and on seeing April's robes let her in. They walked into the prison and Harry could feel the happiness drain from him, without the presence of dementors. The walls were a grimy grey colour and in the cracks a greenish mould was growing. The place stank of rotting flesh, urine, sick and anything else that you hated, Harry fought hard to keep his breakfast inside himself. The floor appeared to be a thick hard layer of grime and filth. Somewhere in the prison was the constant drip of water and the sounds of prisoners whining.

"Stay close." April whispered. She was suddenly very serious, Harry felt that the rebellion up north didn't help. They walked through the prison and past several cells. Harry risked a glance at the people in the dark cells. All he could see were shaking figures shrouded in dark. They walked down another corridor and came to another guard.

"We're here to see Pettigrew." April said seriously. The guard nodded and watched Harry suspiciously as they walked past. As soon as he caught a glimpse of Harry's scar the guard seemed satisfied that Harry wouldn't present any risk. April came to a stop by a cell and looked into it. Inside was Wormtail. He was thinner then when Harry had last seen him and his hair was greyer and thinner.

"What did you summon me all the way here for?" April demanded. Wormtail got to his feet and looked at April in the eyes, he wasn't even as tall as April so it didn't scare her in the slightest.

"I wanted to tell you something, I have something to confess and it's eating away at me everyday." Wormtail said.

"What could you possibly have to confess to me?"

"I want to die before anything happens and I can confess something that will make you so angry it'll kill me. I can't live anymore, I'm so sorry for everything I've done. I'm sorry for betraying you all and for sending Sirius to Prison. I realise that I've ruined the lives of everyone that I know." Wormtail said falling to his knees and clutching the bars. "Please put me out of my misery." April raised her eyebrows and looked at Harry. Harry shrugged. "I know that if I hadn't done any of it, I know now that you would be happily married with Sirius and Lily and James would still be alive. I'm sorry about Emma and about-" Wormtail cried even more. Harry felt like hitting this pathetic excuse for a man.

"What did you want to confess to?" April said pulling him to his feet through the bars. April was very strong for a woman, that or Wormtail was very light. Wormtail held onto the bars for support as he avoided April's gaze.

"It's to do with Jenny."

"My daughter?" April asked. Wormtail shook his pitiful head.

"No, Jenny Chang." Wormtail said. April stiffened and looked at Wormtail dangerously. "And Lee Chang, and Charles Kinnear and Professor Hamish."

"What is it?" April asked dangerously. Harry looked at his godmother and mentor as she gripped her wand tightly.

"I killed Jenny and Charles and I attacked Lee, that's why I 'got lost' in Hogsmeade that day. Then I assisted in the killing of Hamish, I'm so-"

"WHAT!" April shouted. "You killed Jenny! She was my best friend." April seemed ready to curse him when Harry held her back to stop her from doing anything.

"April." Harry said uncertainly.

"Let go of me Harry, I'm going to kill this poor excuse of a man." April said. Harry managed to get her wand off her and April went to the bars and punched Wormtail in the face. "How could you let us believe that other deatheaters killed Jenny and Hamish. I fought against those deatheaters. YOU KILLED MY BEST FRIENDS!" Harry had never thought April could lose her mind like she did now. Wormtail cowered in the corner of his cell shaking in fear for what April might do to him. She turned to Harry.

"Give me my wand." April said. "As Minister of magic I will personally administer your death." April spat at Wormtail.

"Please, it's all I can think about, I keep seeing her every day pleading for her life. Just make it end." Wormtail begged, crawling closer to the bars. Harry stared as the two old friends faced each other. One shaking and begging to end his life, the other livid and angry, ready to kill anyone who got in her way. Harry had to admit that he no longer felt any sympathy for Wormtail but perhaps that's what he planned all along, in order to get himself killed by April, one of his remaining friends. Harry was feeling his usual hatred for Wormtail grow but he tried to suppress it he couldn't kill someone, he wouldn't kill anyone.

"Harry my wand." April said. Harry looked at Wormtail and then at April and shook his head.

"No." Harry said, "It's still wrong, if you want to cause him pain let him live like this, it's wrong to kill someone whether they deserve it or no." April looked at Harry.

"As your Godmother I demand you give me back my wand!" April said. Harry shook his head. "Fine, I'll do this the Muggle way." April said turning back to Wormtail. As soon as April took another step towards the cell Wormtail ran towards the back of the cell in fear, proving he didn't want to die quite yet.

"Got anymore confessions you would like to share?" April asked angrily. Wormtail was breathing quickly now.

"I was the one who planned your split with Sirius all those years ago." Wormtail said, all his confessions came pouring out, "I killed the Simmons', I attacked Lily's parents with Lucious, I helped kill the Potters, all of them. I was asked to murder you, asked to kill your family. I killed your mother, I was the one who told Lucious that Lily was pregnant so he could look after Emma, I put the imperious curse on Percy Weasley. I'm sorry April."

"Don't you dare call me by my first name EVER again!" April said. A few Guards came over to see what the noise was and held April back as she tried to kill Wormtail.

"Miss. Marsden." One of the guards said. April looked at the guard and straightened her robes. She composed herself again and looked at Wormtail.

"You filthy lying son of a bitch. Your plans went wrong, I'm going to marry Sirius at last and we're trying to get Emma back. You don't deserve the life you live, you don't even deserve to be somewhere like this. Azkaban is too good for a traitor and a piece of filth like you. From now on you can consider yourself a lost soul because no one is going to come to your aid, not even Voldemort wants anything to do with you" April said. She looked at Harry, "Come with me Harry, we're going home." Harry nodded and looked at Wormtail. He stared at him.

"You owe me so many." He said. Wormtail squealed in fear and darted away from the bars and Harry followed April. He now knew never to get onto April's bad side. He'd never seen anyone so Angry, with the exception of Snape when Harry had looked into his pensieve. April was fuming all the way back to Grimmauld place.

"If Sirius comes looking for me, tell him I don't want to see him." April said to Harry. "Also, I want you to organise an Order meeting for next week, it's about time we got the order up and running again." April turned on her heel and left. A few moments later she returned, "Wand." April said. Harry handed back her wand and she left fuming. Harry was left slightly shaken and incredibly angry. Wormtail had destroyed the lives of everyone he held dear. Harry went to his room and pulled out a bit of parchment and a quill. There was a cough and Harry looked up to see Phineas looking at him.

"Auror having troubles then?" he asked, referring to April.

"Confessions of a guilty conscience." Harry said, "We've just been to visit Wormtail."

"That's that Pettigrew lad isn't he?" Phineas asked.

"Yes,"

"Did she kill him?" Phineas asked eagerly. Harry shook his head. "Well, that means the dark lord will. He's going to go and kill Pettigrew personally. He knows about him telling April all that stuff and he's very angry with the unloyal lad."

"How the hell did he get into Gryffindor?" Harry asked, "I mean, he's not loyal, as far as I can tell he's not brave and he's just a wimp, he should have gone into Slytherin." Phineas shrugged,

"I let you get back to your letter, I just thought you should know that Pettigrew is going to be killed." Phineas said.

"Thanks." Harry said. Phineas nodded and left the portrait. Harry turned to his parchment and wrote out a letter.

Jenny

How are you? Has Hermione sorted out your problem with Emma? I have a big favour to ask you. I'm going to send this with Shoner and could you give him my invisibility cloak and map when he delivers the letter.

I love you so much and try not to get into trouble. I have enough trouble, your mum is really depressed right now and she refuses to see anyone.

Harry
